individuals in sweden that were being pursued by the authorities now julian assault has always denied those allegations of sexual assault and said that they were a pretext for moving him to sweden and then to be able to be extradited directly to the usa from there now this all spans form a massive dump of classified military documents this was provided to the wiki leaks co-founder to the website by a former u.s. private chelsea manning since then the u.s. government has the searing julian this source for the fact that the wiki leaks co-founder on the website published those classified documents which showed alleged war crimes being committed by u.s. soldiers in iraq. await his fate his former protector ecuador is refusing to extradite allege american france or to the u.s. or during president lyndon marino has personally blocked proceedings signing

national sovereignty reasons humanitarian concerns and international law we asked where he works activist clark stokely why the 2 cases are being treated so differently. i don't want double standards very hypocrite always very showy of the morals and ethics of these governments you know the message that wiki leaks has been publishing as been the truth showing that these you know major or. government organizations are committing fraud or committing war crimes and so forth. and you know that. the messenger is going to be the one that keeps going you know walk away the fact that america is it's always with a 100 percent factual evidence and. maybe people need to start reading the facts of the matter rather than those who present to us.

nearly $250.00 survivors and relatives of the victims of the grunfeld tower tragedy in london are suing 3 us firms that made materials used on the block of apartments it's claimed they facilitated the spread of the devastating fire in 2017 some of the materials are banned from use on u.s. skyscrapers prompting accusations of double standards comics and the message that foreign lives are worth less than american lives and that it is acceptable to expose people outside the united states to dangerous to which people in the united states would not be exposed the last names clotting producer are comic his product was highly flammable something that helps the grenfell fire spread rapidly and also names whirlpool the maker of the refrigerator that's believed to have caused the fire and its insulation made by cell tax is said to have released cyanide gas leading to further avoidable deaths.

all 3 companies expressed sympathy for the victims well paul also noted that 2 separate probes failed to find fault with its refrigerator cell attacks says it's insulation that was just one element of the clotting system used on the tower and iconic said it would respond in court we spoke to 2 american lawyers behind the lawsuit who outlined why u.s. companies should also bear some responsibility. ball of fire and huge tragedy

occurred in london and make no mistake this was a tremendous tragedy many people were killed many people were horrifyingly hurt don't go on doing that actually led to it came out of united states and specifically out of the state of pennsylvania if those products were never sold busy to those to those. people to those companies in the u.k. this never happens it's more of a mission all we have to do is work hard every day to remember and some of her clients went through and we have to remember what the goal is and the goal is to is to prosecute this case so that companies laying around excel in its well report so they never ever feel that they can do this again at this point in time these are the companies we have sued these are the companies we're seeking to hold responsible for the wrongdoing that occurred. to the extent that there are other

facts that show anything down the road that's a conversation that will have at that point we believe our targets are as you are we believe our targets are the ones that caused this horrible tragedy and we believe our targets need to be brought to justice in pennsylvania. almost $80000.00 people have signed a petition demanding that italy drop criminal proceedings against german boat captain pierre clem the 35 year old skipper of a rescue ship is accused of abetting illegal immigration after she personally assistant in the rescue of more than 1000 migrants they were at risk of drowning and unsafe dinghies as they attempted to cross the mediterranean to reach europe where if national reports. this is the case of peer clem a german boat captain and hero to some criminal to others she was at the helm of the event of boat in august 2017 when it entered the port of lump it was

a located on an island between malta and the coast of tunisia the rescue vessel was detained and appears a lawyer now says she may face up to 20 years in prison and horrendous fines but no matter what appears status is unwavering get a full have witness to what women and children have to face if they are denied safe travel ignore us both of european warships and expel in libyan militias from people who shelter refugees from unsuitable overcrowded scraps and beat them up sometimes too late italian investigators have accused her crew of colluding with smugglers with photos leaked to the media alleged in the bodes returning to libya's coast on purpose to be used again by smugglers a date hasn't been set yet for with klemp has dubbed her show trial and many agree tens of thousands of people are back in her in a petition calling for italy to drop the charges this however falls under matteo

salvini is crackdown they tell interior minister and deputy prime minister is known for his open and strong until migrant views to stop rescue ships that are carrying migrants from docking on italian shores and allowing refugees to disembark it's what he's been after since his appointment last year and he has supporters too it's not as though the italians are to do without probable cause there is much truth reporting that every year of investigation preceded the arrest including videos witness statements don't develop the picture mrs rescuing people from drowning is b.s. propaganda rescue them and take them to germany it is quite convenient to rescue people and leave them initially greece cetera we have enough migrants we didn't. once anymore sheen able the trafficking of people that's illegal she's responsible for the so-called refugee crisis there is a clear splits within the e.u.

over how to tackle the migrant crisis and while they seat undecided on whether to assist or hinder the flow of migrants into europe captain clem could be losing her battle at sea and on shore reef nationality reporting from germany. while the italian authorities say that their time migrant policy is a success rights organizations say lives are still being put at risk. pretty much your since the start of the year there have been around 2000 rivals by street with using small boats sailing boats rowing boats whatever they have to cross the mediterranean that's compared to 14000 last year. by guns have no say in how or when to leave the traffickers make the decision for them they couldn't care less if the people arrive dead or alive if we do not intervene soon it will be a sea of blood the reason why all dissent in this because there is no agreement to that european level for the resettlement of the asylum seekers and therefore easily

could have become just the container of all asylum seekers waiting for maybe resettlement in other european countries the 1st thing is to return to the european level and this stablish leaders rules that apply to all member states so the country of 1st arrival we could say doesn't become also and only the only one to receive these people so this this food creates a flow there should be a coordinated approach. but the moment to europe is not capable of device in any kind of solution. to community has had out at the vatican for its latest guidance that questions the existing principles of gender identity the paper is meant to be a bid to tackle what the catholic institution calls an educational crisis taylor

delves into the reason for the sudden outrage or rhetoric the vatican has been insisting on for so long. now you'd be forgiven for thinking the catholic church doesn't really know what turns the public on and you'd be right in fact it's just dealt a mosque to class and turning people off the vatican has released a paper which says there are only 2 genders male and female and it's called male and female he created them just so that was no misunderstanding if we wish they can approach to the question of gender theory that is based on the path of dialogue is vital to bear in mind the distinction between the ideology of gender on the one hand and the whole field of research on gender that human sciences of one's taken on the other so according to the catholics men are men and women are women and anyone who sees themselves otherwise is provocative and poses a threat to the institution of marriage and seeks to overthrow nature itself unsurprisingly it's head up you know note amongst those who are outraged to find

that any if you want gender theory other than that of course exists by refusing to engage in dialogue with people about their lived experiences or so from a standing in faith the vatican remains in the dark ages for most in a false teaching the law is a myth rumor unfolds hoods so the paper's not popular partly because it sounds like it's from the time before christ which it is it's filled with quotes from the bible after all and because it was released during pride month the 30 days every year the world celebrates the l g b t community quit but wait no where in the paper does it say being gay is sinful and in fact it condemns any discrimination and violence against people the number of men and women who have deep seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible they must be accepted with respect compassion and sensitivity every sign off and just as true a nation in their regard should be avoided now it's surely not news to outrage

friends that the church struggles with accepting homosexuality and transgenderism and when they do throw in that 2 pennies worth met the by. as huge as one bishop in rhode island planned when he decided to chat his view on pride month a reminder that catholics should not support or attend l.g.b. t.q. pride month of vents held in june they promote a culture and encourage it t.v.'s that are contrary to catholic faith and morals. it seems the people who replied must of left the christian values of kindness out the door we woke up this morning and we saw the bishops tweet and we were honestly flabbergasted he is like the don't trump of the catholic church goes on twitter and spews out hate my catholic children will be attending pride events as this. guy always taught me what would jesus do yeah i know jesus would be attending that pride parade with her also with pride and i also know that god is love and jesus

is love and love is love the bishop apologized and decided to spread the love but the question begging to be asked is why the surprise kids the church isn't known for being big on reform is it really shocking it's not breaking it's happened it's a pun intended coming up the british domestic intelligence service and my 5 years in hot water are reporting citizens data details after the break. recent high level controversy surrounding you tube clearly demonstrates the online universe and freedom of speech are not on the same page the plot from says it wants to ban extremism it's probably fair to say most would agree on this the problem is how you tube defines this concept. we are in

a strange situation where everybody is making a lot of noise about military action against iran but nobody in the part of that alliance actually wants to do it there's no desire for it so do you hope that iran makes a mistake. somehow and then does it some kind of confrontation and then the iranians will be forced to come to the table you know begging for some kind of solution on american terms but you know i think that is dreaming that's a pipe dream. welcome back british internal security service m i 5 was under fire for illegally

holding on to bulk data collected on citizens the situation came to light during a case brought by a civil rights group liberty. m i 5 have been holding on to people's data on ordinary people's date on your dates on my data illegally for many is not only that they've been trying to keep their really serious error secret secret from the security services watchdog who's supposed to know about them secret from the home office secret from the prime minister and secrets from the public during the trial and emerge and my 5 was already aware of the failures 3 years ago artist picks up the story. well there might not be a plaque on the door but even google maps will tell you that that building over there is m i 5 britain's domestic intelligence agency and even though its job is to root out the bad guys the agency itself has been accused of extraordinary and

persistent illegality in a high court case the case against m i 5 now relates back to a law that was passed in the u.k. in 2016 the investigatory powers act back then the new legislation was sold as something that would create transparency in the wake of the snowden scandal which had revealed that the u.s. and its allies including the u.k. had been collecting vast troops of public data but the investigatory powers act quickly became dubbed the snoopers charter privacy campaigners claim it simply legalized the practices that snowden had exposed and introduced intrusive new powers. there is however a government watchdog that's meant to oversee the u.k.'s sweeping surveillance laws and according to documents revealed in court that watchdog the u.k.'s investigative

powers commissioner has delivered a highly critical assessment of m i 5 in particular over m i 5 storage of cracked public data in one letter presented in court m i 5 knowledge that personal data collected by m i 5 was being stored in ungoverned spaces. there is a high likelihood of material being discovered when it should have been deleted in a disclosure exercise leading to substantial legal or oversight failure back in may britain's home secretary sajid javid prevailed that compliance risks had been identified with how and why 5 handled data the report of the investigatory powers commissioner's office into these risks concluded that they were serious and required immediate mitigation the commission also expressed concern that m i 5 should have reported the compliance risks to him sooner the court case which is ongoing also revealed that the government watchdog would be subjecting m i 5 to far

greater scrutiny from now on comparing it to a school being placed on special measures which is the government's equivalent of the naughty step. a week long celebration of the beautiful game is underway to mark a year before the euro 2020 football championship kicks off russia's northern capital st petersburg is playing a leading role and i like c.n.n. is there for us. now after overwhelming success of last year's world cup in russia the beautiful game is coming again to this country namely just st petersburg now exactly one the from today the euro 2020 inaugural anniversary competition will begin 1st time ever it will be held in just one of 2 countries it will be held in 11 cities across the continent equality amsterdam. st petersburg is one of the cities so today it's all about football here in the vitus of the north now behind me you can see the football pitch some kids and adults are now strutting their

stuff but just a short while ago a match of legends was held here at the u.a.e. for against the russian legends the absolutely incredible game which ended 16 goals to 16 goals in regulation time and it was decided on a penalty shoot out the russians won 4 goals to 3. and i had the privilege of commentating that game i will bring you all that later on my show roth take on r t but i actually managed to mingle with some of these players including fair amount of money and this including diabetes again who ever played football and watched football in their lives know these names these are legendary players i mingled with i asked them questions about what they felt about the euros next year and the prospect of while holding it in st petersburg and 10 more cities across the continent they seemed very very positive it's worth also noting that today the ticketing the official ticketing program for you a full stops so anyone can go to europe was wipes website and buy those tickets and

last year i put in questions last week so i put in the question to direct a few waves of mountain callen he said that the tickets will be pretty much affordable starting at 50 euros and the cheapest ticket to the final held at london's wembley stadium iconic stadium next summer will be $100.00 euros which is something important for the fans to know especially considering all the backlash that you have has been receiving following the champions league and europa league finals for now obviously it's all about football the football part here is functioning and everybody's enjoying the beautiful game in the beautiful st petersburg sunshine. police have used tear gas water cannon and pepper spray against demonstrators and hong kong where lawmakers have delayed voting on a controversial extradition bill after tens of thousands took to the streets in protest many aloft in reference to hong kong umbrella revolution in 2014.

thing i. had was the. thing thank me. for. the bill in question would enable the some i autonomous region to extradite suspects to mainland china but activists say that would seem too much control to beijing and encroach on hong kong special status they fear politically motivated extradition so china argues the bill is needed to prosecute crimes by hong kong residents on the mainland humor shops banks and companies gave their workers the day off to protest on wednesday last sunday over a 1000000 people in hong kong protested the same issue. that's a news break down for this hour and that's all for me as well today but we're not you know harvey will be taking over in about 30 minutes thanks for tuning in wherever you may be.

you see people protesting because i'll be going out case thousands of people. want to see people of the old sorts of political. these journalists.

were. signing the petition. for q he 4 is now well under way for a ponzi scheme no economics matters only money printing and stock manipulation. greetings and sally. let's kick things off with a new scandal in the world of big brother or watchers this week just as the us government law enforcement agencies multiple airlines and the tech giants of silicon valley were singing the praises of the magical wondrous convenience of importance of facial recognition technology

a major blow to their manufactured reality lended in the form of a cyber attack on monday buzz feed and other outlets reported the u.s. customs and border protection sub contractor suffered a data breach that exposed the photos of tens of thousands of travelers coming in and out of the united states the breach consisted of identifying photos and license plate images taken over a month and a half of a single port busy of entry and it involved close to $100000.00 travelers. and while according to officials no other identifying information was included with the photos and no passport or other travel document photos were compromised that hasn't stopped the criticism and questions from flowing have been greer deputy director of the advocacy group fight for the future correctly points out this is a bombshell even if even if you 100 percent trust the u.s. government with their biometric information which you shouldn't this is a reminder that once your face is scanned and stored in a database it's easily shared across government agencies it can be stolen by

hackers and other governments etc etc. customs and border patrol was better than a tizzy as a play trying to roll out day by old bed trick entry exit system at all u.s. airports and the news of this hack could further sour the public's opinion of that so as the fight between convenience privacy and security heats up i think it's time to start watching the hawks. you. wonder what. it looks like the real thing it's like. as the plot of. the day like you know what i got. was that we. would. be. the. world were watching the hawks i am tyrone and i'm definitely in the system and

i just recognize that when i traveled recently about a month ago i would drive all over see. and i remember having mad so you have the terror somewhere out there hackers can find me a terrible picture of me after 12 hours of. flying from me is the better for those of like you're a 12 hour flight superficial recognition doesn't quite come through i mean i get what i like about. my endo is angry if that's what i'm traveling but it varies a bit that you know you have a certain amount of understanding and we all understand that our our phone 1 is that when we travel when we go through ports of entry that these things are going to be taken and we know governments will get them we know we enter into another country if i go to greece if i go to spain if i go you know to the united kingdom that my information my picture or my identifying information is going to be stored somewhere that they're going to keep track of it however i think there's an understanding that. that is not.
