a british foreign office promotional video about a free speech conference calling to ban freedom of the press. and it's just gone 3 am here in moscow you're watching international with me so very welcome. fussed a military court has cleared its a navy seal accused of multiple war crimes of charges as well as the controversial nature of his acquittal. once again raises questions of the pentagon conduct overseas and has the details. the military court in san diego has acquitted gallagher on 6 out of the 7 charges that he faced involving the killing of civilians he was convicted on a charge of posing for a photograph with a corpse which is a violation of the rules however of the maximum sentence for such

a violation is only 4 months in prison and he's served 9 months in pretrial detention so at this point he is indeed a free man now it appears that his acquittal was essentially hinged on the testimony of a of a navy seal medic who testified that he himself was responsible for the killing of the the ice still fighter who was captured the teenager that he himself was responsible for this this fighters death and that it wasn't any gallagher now it's interesting to note that this navy seal key had been given immunity so he cannot be charged for this killing now when the verdict came in the family and legal team of eddie gallagher was triumphant huge victory huge we call to gallagher's huge victory for justice with stealing liquor finally been defeated after being terrorized by the government that my husband bought for for 2 decades in the war on terror he's brought every major enemy of the united states here they write this and

noble individual and his name has been smeared in flanders interact with the mud now it's important to note that it was any gallagher's own platoon members in the navy seals who turned him in saying that he had shot civilians and that he had posted a photo on social media of the corpse with himself holding the head of the still fighter and holding up his knife saying got him with my knife however he has been acquitted and at this point we've seen donald trump tweeting out in support of any gallagher saying his wonderful wife andre and his family entire family you have been through much together glad. i could help that's us president donald trump however there have been many voices on social media that have seemingly accused eddie gallagher of being guilty of these crimes and said he is a war criminal saying that his acquittal is a bit of a disc race and hurts the image of the united states around the world so quite a bit of

a mixed reaction on social media to the acquittal. as we just heard from kate i've got to go was found guilty of posing for a photo with a corpse on a wednesday he was sentenced to 4 months of confinement he's already got time now in the form of pretrial detention the navy seals both his rank pay reduced veteran under oath of what to who we heard from that edward got to operation. thank you gallery because there is a hero not just to the united states and united states military but to the world because he's over there fighting isis which is an enemy that very few countries are willing to put forth troops and resources to can to fight themselves so he basically is being charged with premeditated murder for an isis fighter in my mind and i'm just a simple man here but that sounds like an oxymoron that you would send a navy seal to go fight isis which is a cancer upon humanity yes or humans but they've made themselves to be monsters and

so they should be treated as such and so when you say that you're going to charge someone with premeditated murder of isis in a combat zone little own a navy seal i just think that's completely contradictory it doesn't make any sense . but i love has flared up in tel aviv during a rally in on a ethiopian teenager who was shot dead by an off duty police officer. you. know. that was. thousands took to the street said what appears to have been

a spontaneous demonstration some clashed with riot police and all the set cars spends on. the officer who shot the teenager said felt his life was in danger of to have started throwing rocks at him the teenager's family has demanded and in egypt investigation the community and often describes mistreatment at the hands of the forty's a spokesperson please describe what happened. there were a number of suspects that were involved in a fight in a local park a police officer who was in plain clothes he approached those individuals and requested to see their id what happened was is the situation developed and they started throwing stones at him he was hit and struck by stones and he felt that he was in a life threatening situation he responded by drawing his weapon firing to the floor and what we know busy is that the bullet struck the floor and then unfortunately struck one of the men who was taken to hospital in serious condition and relating

to weigh since the 3 burial of the individual that was unfortunately killed number one there's an investigation taking place as to what happened and number 2 the israeli national police are dealing in focusing with what is the fact that since the funeral which is unfortunate again a large scale riots in and around almost all of the major junctions across israel protesters attacked civilians police offices throwing petrol bombs as well as burning vehicles well just over 3 years ago there was a similar incident and it took months almost 2 years in order to rebuild the trust and this is $114.00 of them was recent incident has taken both ethiopian community as well as the israeli police to a level in an area which we didn't want to reach it's obviously going to take time but we're focusing on the period that we're in at the moment which is dealing with the protests calming the situation down. the road that could naval officer sacrifice that life saving colleagues under civilian experts on board when that

depends from london with more details. that summons of the chinese ambassador to the foreign office comes after he said that relations between the u.k. and china had been damaged following comments by the foreign secretary jeremy hunt and those in regards to those protests and not to the point called let's have a look 1st of all of what jeremy hunt had to say previously about this we urge the authorities not to use what happened as a pretext for oppression but rather to understand the root causes of what happened which is a deep seated concern by people in hong kong for their basic freedoms are under attack since then the u.k. government is also announced that export licenses of items such as c.s. gas and riot gear and grenades have been banned china as a result of those protests that china is period seeing that the u.k. has waded into

a cell for an argument and the ambassador the johnnies ambassador to the u.k. said that those who would immediately occupied the hong kong parliament earlier this week should actually be condemned as break is that was also following beijing accusing jeremy hunt the foreign secretary of having colonial era delusions let's have a listen to what the spokesperson for the chinese foreign ministry had to say seems that he still indulged in the post illusion of british columnists and is persisting with the bad habits of condescending in pointing fingers at other countries' internal affairs. well they also went on to say it's hypocritical of the u.k. to talk about democracy in the home calling it issues with it even though when the phone call was a british colony for very long time they would know who alleges hell that the jeremy hunt the foreign secretary gave this response to that. message to chinese

government good ruination is between countries a based on mutual respect and honor in the legally binding agreements between them that is the best way to preserve the great relationship between the u.k. and china is talking about the reference that to the one country 2 systems agreement that was something that was signed when hong kong was handed back to the chinese and it gives the are you into more freedoms such as economic freedoms but what we're seeing at the moment is tensions between the u.k. and china are ratcheting up over those protests former u.s. diplomats in job trust told us hunt's comments on hong kong protests could be seen as hypocritical. there's an element of wounded sovereignty with the british criticism with the chinese want to make it clear this is sovereign chinese territory yes there are demonstrating the rules are special to hong kong but it is the form of the former colonial power i can't help but notice that we're not just talking about protesting we're told we're going in and seeing zing by force by mob

violence in a legislative chamber you know i don't recall the stor hunt talking about the yellow dress protesters in france which were as i know have never stormed the. french parliament and are being subject to great repression i don't hear him calling about addressing the root causes their. support of wiki leaks founder clash with the british foreign office that story i'm off to break. with the whole make it manufacture consensus instinct of the public well. when the running clubs is protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent.

free his son jeff you mean it the found media freedom well as well as that promotional video the foreign office also had on its twitter feed videos about imprisoned journalists and also called for people to follow the hash tag defend media freedom of course which is very much a spouse by jeremy hunt the foreign secretary and the conservative leadership party candidate as well as amal clearly the human rights lawyer who in the past has represented julian a song though this is rather ironic because it's come on the 48th birthday of julian assange and in the in his home town where his father lives there have been celebrations and commemorations off the wiki leaks founder of course mixed feeling for. the overjoyed. with the stress. of constant. court. to win over. the well those

9 years that jump ship some or so far into there were basically going back to that extradition claim by sweden for alleged sexual assault all the way back to. 12 in those years in the meantime julian assange has been fighting to clear his name also to fight extradition he's also fighting extradition to the united states and that's that's in relation to chelsea manning and all those alleged war crimes that were very exposed by her in the leaks that were provided to wiki leaks and so while the u.k. is preparing for this conference on media freedom in melbourne they're having this party but also this sort of commemorations with julian assange and also protests in the meantime the 48 year old himself is spending his birthday in belmarsh prison in stasis london because he is in breach of his belt editions that's what they imprisoned him for 50 weeks and also waiting for that full u.s. extradition hearing that will take place in february next year. the e.u. parliament has elected its new president italy's david saucily of the socialist and democratic faction but any peace have yet to approve or younger successor as
