you look as if you choose. the few. that you know would you. choose their. children to. be you cake or delays an extradition hearing for julian or songs the wiki leaks co-founder could face up to 175 years in prison if sent to the u.s. . because of an oil tanker which caught fire in the gulf of oman say they were hit by a projectile apparently contradicting u.s. claims for the wrong part of a missile on the vessel a man on the vessel. tried his back at the american delegation accusing the u.s. of sabotaging diplomacy. and the u.k. advertising watchdog bans commercials that promote gender stereotypes from women cleaning too much in males. don't want to sleep stereotype versions of the visions of us cleaning up after the chaps with uniform or largely that men should not work

at all or should work towards one it's got to do with gender differences and work up to. the unwelcome starting international with me. so 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 soft an extradition hearing in the u.k. was postponed until then his. it would start with what. 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 as 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 gangs freedom of expression prize you know there are more journalists here come the. investigative journalism is under now we should be released and i think this know enough people will realize this is such an attack on freedom the press and also just ordinary think of the right of us to know what's going on the things that he exposed the press the american moon mission that's what we should be checking in so well today might be slightly more symbolic in terms of laying out the procedures and 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 charge 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. me 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 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 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 by 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 john this john killed it 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 are contrary to the 1st of evidence of the us going situation. what they called down to is that he is a publisher. released of information which he has a right to do under the us. it's constitutional but the u.s. wants to see itself as a great bastion. of free speech no it's not when it arrested journalists and that's why so many americans of us are now so nervous about this. because it applies to them to you guys to be close to everybody who is

a journalist who is what they call the 1st to get it. it means that journos when they are almost certainly be intimidated from doing their job we spoke to tracy was staff friend of julian a silencer she believes he may not get a fair trial if he's extradited to the u.s. june in a sign she's not an american because 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 a journalist or a human rights expert or an environmentalist and any time that you criticize the american government it's secret service in 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 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 appear laughed at a british judge ruled against love's extradition to the u.s. citing fears had commit suicide while in the custody of american or boise now he's speaking out in support of her son's birth right we will succeed you will be victorious if you are not yet i would say it is not about ship you know it was your trade with each. of them that courage. that. you were

betrayed journalism treat everybody beat him up a fight with. washington's claim that iran attacks to oil time because in the gulf of amman is coming under scrutiny earlier the u.s. presented a video claiming to show iranians were moving in there like splode lying from one of the vessels the tankers owner though says his crew reported the boat being hit by flying projectiles. say they were hit by a flying all the time and we don't think it could have been a bomb attached to the boat so well 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 guards corps should be held accountable the iranian leader has on one hand he has accused the u.s. of undermining peace and security in the u.s.

but secretary of state markham post that 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 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 and using its financial and military clout this poses a serious threat to the region and to global security. the rainy and 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 and has more. so there were 2 oil tankers that were hit.

back. both but i want to know. from both of you. know what's going to be. going here. but it. was good it's civil but that doesn't mean the do it on the. 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. 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 sorry in 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 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 john 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 internet. the market my campaign you know would have us believe they then looked 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 caleb up and r.t. new york city vessels caught fire in one of the world's key oil routes near the strait of hormuz it's a big only way in and out of the persian gulf the incident prompted all oil prices

2 thirds to run a certain to shut the waterway in response to u.s. threats about sanctions dr i'm a lender ms rossini a lecturer from lancaster university thinks there is no evidence the tankers were attacked by iran it's a member of the food is that we see green the 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 iranians in fact and if the iranians did it why would they be so silly. to kind of far open themselves up to criticism when the noid were there that have surveillance cameras satellites or who are 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 are not actually revealing the truth and that is the reason why i

would use the very phrase weapons of mass deception here. you can national advertising watchdog has banned on verts which promote gender stereotypes and claims that sexist 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 the guidelines apply to all forms of advertising in print online and on t.v. or radio advertisers will have to tread carefully when showing women doing the cleaning men struggling with household duties or any promotion of any idealized physical apparence. because your man now back to me now back at me now back to me sadly he is afraid.

we discussed the story with feminist campaign and learned about lost on the leader of the justice the men and boys party mike buchanan. we're still talking about doing something that we said would happen 2030 years ago because the sex discrimination 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 are some big problem here and what they will. say that linda but only 9 percent of british women suffer the far as feminists yet feminists have huge influence over of course this can not 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 them this has got nothing to do with them and 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 versions in. visions of us cleaning up after chaps from the moments that they leave school early 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 in our social or just who showed in the paper but the phenomenon she called preference theory that for in 7 british men are 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 i mean to be nice if you nice if it's always ing stop portraying men as completes nincompoops and women as saints 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 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. the chief has removed a video by project very task which uncovers the way social media at pinterest allegedly senses conservative views twitter also chimed in temporarily banning the

group for sharing intent on communications from pinterest the founder of project vera time has accused you tube of waging war on gen of the. tech giants retaliates side who leaked docs showing censorship of christine and pro-life material they have removed our investigative inside reports you tube now 40 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 and cruise through talking about. somebody. or. are the ones who support our. troops over 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 aff. 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 veritas has so controversially done what journalists are supposed to do. one strategy is. if you shut. down someone they don't really. know what you share that.

belief i will go i says i thought it was. your your. i think whatever you want. whatever. you know what they say when the going gets tough the tough get going pinterest said the website was targeted for misinformation relating to conspiracies and on t.v. acts a nation advice about it it's robust guidelines exist due to the importance of user privacy a tech expert told us tom foreman like you cheap are increasingly losing people is trust. but 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 there was a systematic suppression of conservative voices on on these basically on

these platforms that are open in fact under the law are these are supposed to be communications systems which are protected speech that people have it'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. b.b.c. is facing a backlash from u.k. pensioners they're angry after their podcast or announced it was scrapping free t.v. licenses but they have a $75.00. respecting and honoring our elders looking out for them is one thing but money's money if a 75 year old can watch t.v. they sure as heck can pay for it says the b.b.c. currently all households with people over $75.00 are entitled to a free t.v.

license that government funded scheme which is expected to cost $745000000.00 pounds by 2021 slash $22.00 comes to an end in 2023 tele's over the grandpas and grandmas time to cough up in short millions of pensioners many of the disabled and living on very modest incomes are going to have to sponsor the b.b.c. because the corporation doesn't feel like shutting some of its hugely expensive projects the b.b.c. did the math right what they got wrong was the public reaction outrage boycott the b.b.c. there is disgrace money grabbing all sound a 5 year old should be exempt from pains a license fee. so over 70 five's have served their country and worked for decades to make our country a better place will not be church $154.00 pounds for a t.v.

license a week after d.-day commemorations shima new b.b.c. petitions popping up left and right anger frustration a feeling of injustice why of those who worked serve the nation for decades being put in the same level as everyone outs where are your manners even government ministers party leaders are upset pensioners have spent their lives contributing to our society providing over 70 five's with 3 t.v. licenses is not too much to ask here is the kicker the b.b.c. plans to make an additional 500000000 pounds by making the seniors pay for comparison that's roughly the cost of $5.00 f. $35.00 fighter jets which the u.k. is buying $140.00 of talk about priorities some are angry about the t.v. license cost say the b.b.c.

of today the quality of their programmes don't justify the billions that go into it with the latest public hits show hosted by a cartoon vladimir putin who has what appears to be a middle eastern accent. you see now why the b.b.c. needs more money the poor fellows can't even afford a russian voice actor public patience is wearing thin for those that are getting tired of the scandals of the scandal coming out of the b.b.c. be it ridiculous salaries for the top guys or lack of objectivity so many british people are asking openly why are they still paying to see. these in the age of the internet almost certainly this idea of a t.v. being a separate box that different to your computer will completely disappear. from many

many households and then the question do you have a t.v. will become a weird question to ask by the way the b.b.c. is still 250000000 pounds short of keeping the all of its stuff on there so if you have any ideas of who else to squeeze for a few more quid immigrants centenarians don't hesitate get in touch well appreciated the b.b.c.'s decision comes after the u.k. government passed the cost of funding free licenses for the ever 70 five's to the broadcaster the b.b.c. insists maintaining free licenses will affect the quality of its programming adding that those the least able to pay will still be entitled to a fee waiver writer mike yardley says people are losing their patience with the b.b.c. . there is a tremendous amount of anger in the country about the b.b.c.

there is this feeling that the b.b.c. no longer represents the voice of ordinary british people and it is of course a state broadcaster and t.v. licensing is a brand of the b.b.c. and it is extraordinary the 10 percent of the people who go to court in britain are going to court about t.v. licensing issues and that most of those people are little old ladies and some of them may even end up in prison for not paying a t.v. license i think there is an argument that people are deeply concerned about the elitist liberal direction of the b.b.c. they're concerned because it pursues certain agendas for example it's very positive on global warming this is a major issue for the b.b.c. it doesn't like mr trump it doesn't like bracks it and a lot of people feel there's been a huge political bias not just in b.b.c. news programs but in b.b.c. comedy and in other output i mean this is a very big issue. thanks for taking r.t.

we're back in 30 minutes with the headlines. i think you know cubans all over the world you know all all very similar you know west the western us did not invent democracy you know who does democracy everywhere in world history in india in china if you go far enough by creating inclusion in some of the union you know after 990 was not so matter of adopting the u.s. constitution it was a matter of finding what works in that cultural context. officer . to get up off the ground or sort of begin to paint him down.
