american allegation accusing the u.s. of sabotaging diplomacy. the u.k. advertising watchdog bans commercials that promotes gender stereotypes of women complaining too much a male. don't want to see stereotype versions and visions of us all women to fall more likely to not work at all to work part time and it's got to do with gender differences or work for. the unwelcoming watching aussie international with me in the. wiki leaks founder julian assange 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 shoddy at would with more. but it really was crunch
8:02 pm
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. to see me investigative journalism is under now we should be released and i think this know enough people will realise this is such
8:03 pm
a this unfreezing and also just to do everything for the right of us to know what's going on the things that he exposed the american woman that's what we should be checking in 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 innocent 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 make these secret classified documents all some say his crimes his so-called alleged crimes for 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
8:04 pm
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 low amount of time in fact 2 and a half 1000 days which is the sum amount of 7 years in that confinement he was a full seeking political asylum he then moved to belmarsh prison where he was serving out his 50 week sentence for skipping fell in 20 trials now this is actually a video filmed inside got belmarsh prison that was obtained by alex he brought me which is the video agency and in this footage you can see your innocence looking someone may see it didn't get it so it's known that he's not a dramatic amount of weight you know something that his father has voiced concerns
8:05 pm
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 court room 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 told them to you is that he is a publisher. released of information which he has a right to do under the us. sponsorship beat us once cissie itself is
8:06 pm
a great bastion. of free speech no it's not when it arrests of journalists and that's why so many american term us are now so nervous about this. because it applies to them close to you guys to be close to everybody who is a journalist who is what they call the 1st to get it. to mean that journos when they are almost certainly be intimidated from the doing their job without a trace it was to refresh and of julian a silent she believes he may not get a fair trial if he's extradited to the us june in a sign she's not an american he goes to the americans he won't be covered by free speech 1st amendment of their constitution so it's gets very dangerous for everybody who in any way is working towards revealing the truth whether you are
8:07 pm
a journalist or a human rights expert or an environmentalist and any time that you criticize the american government its 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. one of julian assange his 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 loves actually extradition to the u.s. fighting fears he'd commit suicide while in the custody of american authorities now
8:08 pm
he's speaking out in support of assad's. refighting we will succeed you will be victorious. not yet i would say it is not about shapiro it was the trade. of the meds courage. that i would trade journalism. without heat in my face with. washington's claim that iran is hugs to all time because in the gulf of amman is coming under scrutiny earlier the u.s. presented a video claiming to show it rain ians and we're moving in the other exploded mind from one of the vessels tankers owner though says his crew reported the boat being hit by flying projectiles and more than. the crew say they were hit by a flying object and we don't think it could have been
8:09 pm
a bomb attached to the boat as mentions the u.s. military claims the video shows iran was responsible the u.k. foreign office also backs up the u.s. accusations saying the revolutionary guard corps should be held account accountable the iranian leader has a right harney has accused the u.s. of undermining peace and security in the middle east but secretary of state mike from paris said no one else in the region had the capacity to carry out such an attack. islamic republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman no 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 and using its financial and military clout this poses a serious threat to the region and to global security iranian foreign minister has accused the u.s. of engaging in sabotage diplomacy while russia's foreign minister said the u.s.
8:10 pm
was creating an artificial escalation of tensions in the region capable and how small. so there were 2 or oil tankers that were hit. job or you're. going to vote but i want to know. from one of them get it from both of you. and i want companies. that are going to use them to go out to be our new york. bureau for everybody. to put the good is civil the system in the did it will get on the.
8:11 pm
let's go over the facts now the 1st one belongs to john fredrickson 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 hit at the same time that japan's prime minister shinzo abbay was in tehran meeting with iran's supreme leader is that it's on their way to iran from the ancient times of the persian empire into the present day as being 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
8:12 pm
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 u.s. resident who is charged with espionage was just released as a gesture of good will so why would they then choose this moment to fire tar paedos in the gulf of oman the iranian foreign minister judge and zarif is describing these events as suspicious reports of the tax 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 slipped out and torpedoed their 2 key business partners now why
8:13 pm
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 those who vessels caught fire in one of the world's key oil routes near the strait of hormuz it's the only way in and out of the persian gulf the instant punted on oil prices to 3rd to iran has threatened to shut the waterway in response to u.s. threats about dr melendez misra a senior lecturer from the lancaster from lancaster university thinks there's no evidence that by a long. it's a member of the who does that we see a grainy black and white pictures and he doesn't say who are these iranians because there is no evidence to support this that it is indeed an iranian battle board and hardly nor there the people who are on board audience in fact and if the iranians did it why would there be so silly. to kind of far open themselves up to criticism
8:14 pm
when the noid very well there are surveillance cameras satellites of war going around taking these pictures that's number one and the number 2 is the fact that we have harder jubilantly pointed down talkers and when evidence have been doctored and we have our kind of service and who had not actually revealing the truth and that is the reason why i would use the very phrase weapons of mass deception. u.k. national advertising watchdog has banned out of which promote gender stereotypes it claims that sexist campaigns could pressure people to limit their life choices. are 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 ounce can over time play a part in limiting people's potential the new guidelines apply to all forms of
8:15 pm
advertising in print online and on t.v. or radio advertisers will have to tread carefully when showing women doing the cleaning when struggling with household duties or any promotion of an idealized physical appearance. but now back to the back of me now back to me sadly here that. we discussed the story with feminist campaigner linda bell author under leader of the justice for men and boys party might be. we're still talking about doing something that we said would happen 2030 years ago we had the sex discrimination act since $9075.00 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 advertising industry bowing down to radical feminism. the idea that there is some big problem here any well they
8:16 pm
will. say that linda but only 9 percent of british women suffered and defined as feminists yet feminists have huge influence over of this girl not to do it because all this judge gender stereotyping thing is just one of countless miss narratives lots of women who want to see equality and justice don't call themselves feminists i've got nothing to do with them it isn't actually has got to do with the norm like the law has says it's 975 sex discrimination that women should be treated know this favorably than men and therefore we don't want to see stereotype visions and visions of us cleaning up after 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 is got nothing to do with this sort of you do have its eyes in it's got to do with gender differences in
8:17 pm
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 4 in 7 british men are works but only one in 7 british women is i think this is not about market research is about actually law it's of our reply 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. a woman's job now is that you might mike you might think that radical frankly this is the 21st century and that's what most of us want a video be nice if you'd nice if 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 in the mind. the pandering to female
8:18 pm
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 you tube twitter and pinterest have been accused of bias and censorship yet again all the details after the break. when lawmakers manufacture consensus instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean.
8:19 pm
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 you 2 pounds removed a video by a project very task which uncovers the way social media pinterest allegedly senses
8:20 pm
conservative views twitter also chimed in that temporarily banning the group for sharing internal communications from pence rest a founder of project far south has accused you tube of waging war on generalism. 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
8:21 pm
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 and cruise through talking about who will of course and somebody's going to notice. or. are the ones who support our. troops who are from war groups so what did 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

8:24 pm
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 need know one thing they cannot trust these platforms for anything. a white south african farmer was murdered recently amid rising tensions over land ownership in a country he spoke with the victim's neighbor he was himself attacks the day off the killing. i saw. a person in the outside the window in the kitchen. and it all happened so far just he was standing on the ground so when when this guy was smashing it at
