that was how it was and. the u.k. call delays an extradition hearing for julian no songs the wiki leaks co-founder could face up to 175 years in prison if sent to the u.s. . the crew of an oil tanker which caught fire in the gold for them obviously they were hit by a projectile apparently contradicting u.s. claims that iran planted a mine on the vessel i want to run hits back at the american allegation accusing the u.s. of subatomic diplomacy. and the u.k. advertising watchdog guns commercials that promotes gender stereotypes from women cleaning to much a male you. don't want to see stereotype movement and visions of us. chess we're going to fall more likely than men to not work at all to work for what

it's got to do with gender differences and work out for. a warm welcome you're watching artie international with me nikki. where he makes co-founder julian a song may be facing a prison term of 175 years in the u.s. but he won't find out whether that will happen until at least next february after an extradition hearing in the u.k. was postponed until then his shaadi at woodstock with more. but it really was crunch time for 2 in the sun just this extradition request was being hurt here at westminster magistrate's court though he was given a glimmer of hope he will not face the full extradition until february of next year and 2020 it's understood that a 5 day hearing will take place at a later date off to february the 24th which his lawyers have agreed to the

timetable now of course it to follow indeed yesterday the u.k.'s home secretary such as shafiq signing that crucial order that paves the way for this edition of procedure now he believes that this was the skewing the right course of justice but protesters and activists here outside westminster mucha say school think that this is not the course of justice in fact completely goes against justice and simply they believe that this is the gang's freedom of expression prize you know there are more journalists here come the. investigative journalism is under 2 now we should be released and i think this is not enough people realize this is such an attack on freezing the press and also just to do everything for the right of us to know what's going on the things that he exposed a press the american moon machine that's what we should be checking for so well today it might be slightly more symbolic in terms of laying out the procedures in the very next step it does actually set the ball rolling towards extradition to the

united states for 2 in the sun we know in the united states they've been directed to on to 17 counts under the espionage act for. classified documents related to the iraq war on the war in afghanistan but also one of conspiracy to hack a government computer to actually leak the secret classified documents while some say his crimes his so-called alleged crimes awful whistle blowing and indeed posing a national security risk and threat many say that he will not face a fair trial in the united states and that's an opinion that's been held also by the wiki leaks editor in chief i do believe that we are going. to win this with legal argument there is no chance that julian will get a fair trial here in the u.k. or in the u.s. of course unless there's a change of reporting that people actually start speaking out we're not talking about a prosecution we're talking about a persecution opposed to misunderstand back into the public ah this year in april

when he was pulled out of the ecuadorian embassy by british police he was there for a long amount of time in fact 2 and a half 1000 days which is the sum amount of 7 years in that confinement he was of course seeking political asylum that he then moved to belmarsh prison where he was serving out his 50 week sentence for skipping fell in 20 crowd now this is actually a video from inside that belmarsh prison that was obtained by alex he brought me which is the video agency and in this footage you can see your innocence ticking someone may see it didn't go to trial it's known that he's not a dramatic amount of weight not something that his father has voiced concerns of earlier this week and we know that he was also sent to the medical board in prison that on top of all of this is not just the united states wants to decide he's also wanted for swedish prosecutors far locations of sexual assault something of course good asuncion self-image lead to noise and he also believes it's a pretext to extradite him to the united states earlier i was doing fine award

winning australian journalist john pilger he was also in the 43 behind me when that ruling was indeed and now since he told me that this is an incredibly difficult moment the freedom of expression you know best me and i have a direct impact on john this was why charges will be made up the charges. to be 1st of evidence of the us going situation. what they call down which is that he is a publisher. released of information which he has a right to do under the us. this constitution of the us wants to see itself as a great bastion. of free speech no it's not when it a rest of us and that's why so many american journalists are now so nervous about this. because it applies to them was to you lies to me lies to everybody who is

a journalist who is what they call investigative jerks. that means that journos when they are almost certainly be in him a day from doing their job we spoke to tracey was a friend of julian a songs she believes he may not get a fair trial if he's extradited to the u.s. . julian assange she is not an american who goes to the americans he won't be covered by their free speech 1st amendment of their constitution so it's very dangerous for everybody who in any way is working towards revealing the truth whether you are a journalist or a human rights expert or an environmentalist any time that you criticize the american government it's secret service since its military you could be literally extradited by the british government why can't we stand up on our own 2 feet and say no he's a hero he has allowed us to have information which is precious we need to know if

i government is committing crimes in war we need to know if it's true committing crimes in the democratic process. this man is a beacon of hope for sri speech. but one of julian assange is leading supporters is laurie love he's a british cyber security expert he was charged with hacking u.s. government computers in 2018 he won a landmark appeal after a british judge ruled against love's extradition to the us fighting for his hit commit suicide while in the custody of american authorities now he's speaking out in support of her son's. very likely we will succeed again we will be victorious. obviously i would say it is none of us should be able to live without the trade.

of that courage. but i would trade journalism. without. a fight with. washington's claim that iran attacked 2 oil tankers in the gulf of amman is coming under scrutiny earlier the u.s. presented a video claiming to show iranians that were moving at an unexploded mine from one of the vessels the tank is the owner of those says his crew reported the boat being hit by flying projectiles and more than a good job was that the crew say they were hit by a flying object we don't think it could have been a bomb attached to the boat or god here as mentions the u.s. military claims the video shows iran was responsible the u.k. foreign office also backed up the u.s. accusations saying the revolutionary guard corps should be held accountable well the iranian leader hassan rouhani has accused the u.s. of undermining peace and security in the middle east but secretary of state mark on

peo said no one else in the region has the capacity to carry out such an attack. islamic republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman the proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. over the last 2 years the u.s. has been implementing an aggressive approach violating international law using its financial and military clout this poses a serious threat to the region and to global security the iranian foreign minister has accused the us of engaging in sabotage diplomacy while russia's foreign minister said the u.s. was creating an artificial escalation of tensions in the region kaleb more pronounced more. so there were 2 or oil tankers that were hit.

but of course. i'm going to vote but i want to know. from both but you. don't want company. to go and he's been pretty quiet garners your. own group for everybody. to put the good civil the bid in the us when the did it will get on. let's go over the facts now the 1st one belongs to john frederick so he's a long time norwegian trading partner of iran his relationship with iran goes back to the 1980 s. one biography even refers to him as the ayatollah as lifeline so at

a time when washington is using all kinds of pressure to try and stop or running an oil exports it really doesn't make sense for iran to then lash out and attack one of its oldest friends now the 2nd oil tanker to be hit is even more interesting this is a japanese owned chemical tanker and it was said at the same time that japan's prime minister shinzo ave was in tehran meeting with iran's supreme leader is that . iran from the ancient times of the persian empire into the present day has been the great country of the middle east and will remain so i mean the future so we're to believe that at the time that iran was making nice with japan while japan was helping them to find ways to help their oil exports keep flowing despite. u.s. sanctions that iran then turns around and decides to bomb a japanese vessel in fact iran has been rather nice to the united states in the last few days a us resident who is charged with espionage was just released as a gesture of goodwill so why would they then choose this moment to fire tar paedos

in the gulf of oman the iranian foreign minister job and zarif is describing these events as suspicious reports of the tanks on japan related to tank use occurred while pm was meeting with ayatollah for extensive and friendly talks suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely transpired this morning while iran is struggling to keep its nuclear deal intact and keep its economy afloat by selling its most prized resources on the international market like bomb peo would have us believe they then flipped out and torpedoed their 2 key business partners now why exactly would iran do that well because they're the bad guys of course don't ask too many questions hale bopp and r.t. new york but he vessels caught fire in one of the world's key oil route near the strait of hormuz it's the only way in and out of the persian gulf the incident prompted the oil prices 2 thirds to iran has threatened to shut the waterway in

response to us threat about function let's discuss this further now of course live to our guests or via skype of poor old rake independent research and journalist and writer i should say welcome to the program great to have you with us and as we just mentioned the reports from the japanese all time because crew appears to contradict u.s. claims that iran planted a mine on the vessel where they base that was hit by a projectile what do you make of this. word absolute does contradicted and mr pump is seems to have a hard time transitioning from his job as a cia operative to the state secretary of state and he continues with the lies and cheating and stealing but i don't think we should focus on just the last incident that happened at a time to seems totally bizarre that iran would do any such thing and that the japanese have contradicted the american reports we definitely need to go back to february and to know peg note that stands for note to oil exporting control

countries and here they meant cartel they wanted the united states passed a bill that would in effect disintegrate opec and it was the american wanted to do would be to subject any any or producing country or countries that would decide on a price and certain amount of oil that they would want to sell to american laws in fighting they've they've with not be able to talk together convene and decide how much oil they want to produce and set a price on it so when this bill passed even the united arab emirates which is a very good friend of the united states in marshall is really apprehensive and said he would in effect put an end to opec and saudi arabia in fact turned around and said the to the united states does this it would no longer so spoiled in dollars all this happened about

a month ago when another 4 tankers were fired sabotaged or bombed or what have you again the blame was put on iraq but if you look at the timeline iraq had nothing to gain then and had nothing to gain here but it did make the arabs the arab leaders of the persian gulf states go running to america because what happened when trunk said to saudi arabia and united arab emirates would make up for the oil that trump does not want or does not want to allow anybody to buy from you know they're here up for it so what do you make of what the iranian just. a sorry sorry to interrupt what do you make of what the iranian foreign minister said when he accused washington of sabotage diplomacy to think that's what we're seeing here. i think frankly well he isn't right in a sense but it gets way beyond sabotaging diplomacy because i think this mr harmony also made it very clear that he has nothing to say with to mr trump but that aside i think that. you know iran does not want to deal with the united states but it

doesn't mean that he wants a sure way its allies or people there are there to to basically how iran restart blish itself in the international community and as i pointed out earlier during the comments too by its very precious commodity which is or oil so it was sabotage in a sense of diplomacy but it's also because right now that iran is in the right right not everybody has been taking iran side because of the united states unilaterally pulling out of this unite you know j.c. you know way the iran deal and so what american would have us believe what they want us to believe is that behold iran is going around destroying tankers when iran said it would not allow its oil to be replaced by other countries when trying to impose the embargo if it meant that he would resort to international law and that the united nations love the seas reproaches up close the territorial 5 miles

of the strait of hormuz as is iran's territorial waters and all that the loss of the. state should not impede the safe passage of any ship it allows for the for the state the territorial state to do start the ships from passing through if that state is destructing peace and security the said state not if united states impose an oil importer go on iran and iran says well if the arab go through the united arab emirates and the saudis that will create insecurity in my country then the power. which of those ships are no longer innocent and you know iran has the right to do to you know fight it according to laws it's not going to it's not going to block tankers but the united states is taking what iran stay said to stage this kind of

a light which has come to hair everybody now knows that is why even the allies were not believing this in the 1st place that rancher in our. united states pows are thinking well thank god the enemy says it has because iran has not been such a stupid thing but in america what has commenced that it has i said why is that a poor record to kind of research and write i thank you for your time here. when he is coming up after the break. 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 they hope that iran makes a mistake and somehow. and then there's 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. i think you know cubans all over the world you know all very similar you know west the western us did not invent democracy you know democracy everywhere in world history in india in china if you go far enough back creating inclusion in soviet union or you know after 990 was not a matter of adopting the u.s. constitution it was a matter of finding what works in that cultural context. back

the u.k. national advertising watchdog has found out which promote gender stereotypes it claims effects if campaigns could pressure people to limit their life choices. our evidence shows how harmful gender stereotypes in ads can contribute to inequality in society with costs for all of us put simply we found that some portrayals in ads can over time play a part in limiting people's potential and he guidelines applies to all forms of advertising in print online and on t.v. or radio advertisers will have to tread carefully when showing women in doing the cleaning men struggling with household duties or any promotion of an idealized physical appearance. but to give me now back to me now back to me now back to me sadly he is that. we discussed the story with feminist campaigner linda belarus and the leader of the justice for men and boys party might be counted. we're still talking about doing

something that we said would happen 2030 years ago because the sex discrimination act since $975.00 and there was a promise then. that men and women will be treated equally fairly and we've yet to see it i'm sorry to say this is of course just the opposite i was going destry bowing down to radical feminism. the idea that there's some big problem here what will you say that linda but only 9 percent of british women suffered and for as feminists yet feminists have huge influence was up to the over of this government to do it because all this gender stereotyping thing is just one of countless from this narratives lots of women who want to see equality and justice don't call themselves feminists has got nothing do with them it isn't actually has got to do with the normal like the law has says it's $975.00 sex discrimination that women

should be treated no less favorably than men and therefore we don't want to see stereotyped version. visions of us cleaning up after the chaps from the moments that they leave school they leave full time education to retirement age women are far more likely than men to not work at all or to work part time and this is this is this has got nothing to do with this got to do have a ties and it's got to do with gender differences in work ethic and i refer you to dr katherine hackett in the world renowned social or just who showed in the paper but the phenomenon she called preference theory that for in 7 british men work censored but only one in 7 british women is i think this is not about market research is about actually law it's of our report we're projecting british society as it is and i want my son i want my grandson to be able to clean up after themselves not just to think it's

a woman's job now is that you might might you might think that radical frankly this is the 21st century and that's what most of us want video be. avatars ing stop portraying men completes nincompoops and women as saints who you know who you know could never do anything wrong i mean the pandering to female nascar is a really mine. the pandering to female narcissism in advertising is appalling and part of that is denigration of men but. i very much doubt you know that the denigration of men in advertising is going to reduce your cheapass removed a video by project a very task which uncovers the way social media pinterest allegedly censors conservative views twitter also chimed in temporarily banning the grave for sharing internal communications from pinterest the founder of project very house has accused you tube of waging war on journalism. tech giants retaliate against the

side who leaked docs showing censorship of christine and pro-life material they have removed our investigative inside reports you tube now 14 bullet proof journalism by deleting it censorship that's how you tube responded to a recent report by project vera 6 posing well censorship in social media the investigation features an inside source from the social media platform pinterest concealing his identity during the interview whistleblower eric cochrane exposes the ways his employer censors conservative voices on the platform words like bible verses and christian are put on a so-called sensitive terms list basically words that might offend people are excluded from search suggestions a list of what the company considers conspiracy theories was formed also to control the spread of certain information and a pro-life website was even labeled as pornography to prevent usage of its link on

the platform the documents we've obtained raised serious questions about whether these companies are neutral platforms or publishers with an editorial agenda or her school groups can cruise through. and somebody. wardrobe should go to war. are the ones who support our. troops from war grow older so what does this whistleblower get in return for shedding some light on social media censorship the boot from his job and the backlash didn't stop there twitter also suspended project veritas after the organization leaked pinterest employee chats publishing conversations without permission violated the terms of service they said but the published talks revealed employees calling ben shapiro a white supremacist the pinterest insider also saw how quote white supremacist

unquote content like ben shapiro. commentary for instance goes from identified to censored and somehow his name found its way to pinterest sensitive terms list alongside cocaine and some not so very tasty sandwiches see the connection and to be honest this isn't the 1st time project vera toss has so controversially done what journalists are supposed to do. one day shall be. shut. down someone you don't really. know what you share that. belief and i will go i says i mean that is so out there with you.

you're so good. i think whatever. it was. you know what they say when the going gets tough the tough get going well pinterest said the website was targeted for misinformation relating to conspiracies and antibiotics and nation advice each about it it's robust guidelines exist due to the importance of user privacy and tech expert told us platforms like you tube are increasingly losing people is trust. well they didn't want people to know what what they found out i mean what they found out was actually very bad they found out that that there was a systematic. suppression of conservative voices on on these basically on these platforms that are open and in fact under the law these are supposed to be

communication systems which are protected speech that people have that's just like a telephone they don't censor your telephone calls and why should they be able to censor you when you go on twitter or on instagram this is the kind of thing that's happening now and people just they know one thing they cannot trust these platforms for anything. we're back with more the top. 6 guys just by the natural survival guide. when customers go by. in elf well reduce some lower. that's undercutting but what's good for market it's not good for the global economy. why paradise with all year round turned into

a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.

hello and welcome to cross talk were all things considered i'm peter lavelle after a breakdown in negotiations presidents and she may soon again meet to hash out a trade deal the stakes couldn't be higher both sides need a perceived wind failure could witness the global economy divided into rival blocks and a dual internet world. trade war i'm joined by my guest heather in washington she is a financial analyst as well as a vice president of vision for fun.
