oh oh. oh oh oh. in the headlines this monday morning the french president's ambitious political maneuvering takes the leaders of the g. 7 by surprise as he invites the radium foreign minister to the g. 7 summit for prices to. radical new rules are in full for google kindly with a tech tell you telling employees not to engage in political debate of work now. here but the fight for justice a british sudanese man who's been languishing in jail in sudan for over 100 days without.
2:01 am
warning she just said monday here in moscow my name is kevin owen he was the world news update from r.t. international focus on this morning in the south of france last few days ramifications of the talk of the g. 7 of course iran's foreign minister made impromptu visit there to that summit in the southwest of france sunday to hold crisis talks with president emmanuel mccrone mohamed javid cerise arrival apparently caught the other world leaders though off guard and left the u.s. delegation feeling pretty blind sided as has been described dubai and skis got more . well oh well dear that didn't seem to work and neither did the next card that president pulled from his sleeve and that was a surprise visit by the iranian foreign minister to that g. 7 summit well that dramatic diplomatic move kind of went down like
2:02 am
a lead balloon with the white house delegation refusing to meet the a rainy and foreign minister discuss that or a new deal of course the iranian foreign minister himself under u.s. sanctions at the moment so no meeting between them you might remember that there was an iranian nuclear deal signed a few years ago and there were in trump became president of the united states he said this deal it's not good enough i'm pulling this out of it and he did that back last year now since then there's been a war of words with their own they have been these sanctions that have been put on iran by the u.s. and the u.s. has demanded that other leaders who are signatories to that iranian nuclear deal kowtow to his demands and also pull out now the e.u. leaders who are at this cheese 7 summit and others say they're not pulling out their signatories to this accord they want it to work and perhaps one of the biggest people who supported this are a new nuclear deal is none other than french president imac or who is also this g 7
2:03 am
the president now he had quite a few tricks up his sleeve during the summit but he tried to ease the u.s. into his way of thinking very easily instead fast early on we discussed our various initiatives. has taken initiatives towards iran i have taken several initiatives and we have reported on them the g. 7 is an informal club there is no formal mandate given within the g 7. no i just. have. you know you can't stop people from going in they were dog and dog. despite that i did setting in the south of france it was one g. 7 summit that hasn't gone without its own controversy well most of the leaders with looking to get a cord on the table to find agreement there was one who just didn't want to play ball and that was the president of the united states yes donald trump so no
2:04 am
agreement on easing trade tensions across the world no agreement so far on environmental issues although it's a suggestion that there will be some sort of formalization of how the leaders of the g. 7 will want to help with those fires in south america in the amazon rain forest and of course they wouldn't be g 7 in france without protests thousands of people took to the streets over the weekend in cities around berates to show their armies and their discontent with the g. 7 summit in fact many of them had actually been participating in an anti g 7 for the last week there were clashes with the police although the protests were largely peaceful many arrests place some people injured and the security forces a huge number some 13000 in the south of france around this summit using tear gas and water cannons but the main overall king theme in the main point of this summit
2:05 am
it seems was to try and get a cord over iran and so far it's failed so did the french president pull off a diplomatic coup by avoid injury for not we've been hearing reaction from both europe but the potential implications of a visit to the. by the beginning i thought like most journalists that it was an over p.r. stunt public relations effort of mr micawber to make such a success but the fact that. the foreign affairs minister of iran is there is in doubt it's a few meters away from the trial is is astonishing is astounding and it seems there is more to the fact germany have discussed with the iranians over the last few days and are discussing now with the on of those on in balance it was the french they came to the ukrainians that instant to stay in detail and essentially what that did it actually prolonged the period did iran fully of lies
2:06 am
by the deal and that was very good for the americans i mean it will definitely have an impact iran is plain a major role in the discussions in the g. 7 in donald trump actually meeting yesterday that major decisions will be coming in the next few days so i think it is important nevertheless i think it's very very early to talk about an actual agreement between iran and the united states just want to tip you off but still the template for the program kind of connected with the sanctions with iran except for a. job as a reason because it's a front comes in the comfort of continues to suffer the crippling effects of those u.s. sanctions later in the program we see how it's affecting people real hard and there we hear from iranian cancer patients who say they're really struggling right now to access the treatment they need as a result directly of the country's economic isolation is ahead. for the next one celebrated as a firm that promoted free thought and lively discussion google has issued
2:07 am
a new set of community guidelines apparently battling a political debate at work but all court has got more on it. google's management has had enough after contending with so much bad p.r. over the last year the bosses have decided to say no more politics on the shop floor while sharing information and ideas with colleagues helps build community districts in the would have a raging debate of a policy so the latest news story does not primary responsibility is to do the work we each been hired to do not to spend working time on debates about a number of topics company's new guidelines demand that employees stop insulting demeaning or humiliating their coworkers and others plans or even already in place to hire a team to moderate coworkers internal message boards and while political debates are generally frowned upon at work google's earned quite the reputation. and.
2:08 am
on top of that recent leaks by google employees sparked accusations of widespread political bias in the company from manipulating search algorithms to fit a liberal agenda i see google executives go to congress and say that it's not going to be late it is not political and i'm just so sure that's not true to punishing those who oppose the company's political line one former worker of google even said he was fired for being conservative when i joined google i saw a lot of employees being mistreated and abused and harassed for sharing conservative views or just for questioning company policies and maybe one of the most powerful companies in the world but it seems when it comes to controlling its
2:09 am
own staff management just needs to google it there are always guidelines governing and. behavior of course but this these are unusual guidelines because they're specifically at targeting political speech now that i have not really seen and that's just tremendous concern because what they're really doing here is when they're trying to suppress political speech by employees they're really trying to suppress political speech by conservative employees leakers the whistleblowers so far have come forward have been conservative employés that's what's google is most concerned about parents even starting last year google began to restrict access to documents by its own employees so i think if you look internally in the company you'll find that they're probably doing much more extreme sayings to try to get their employees under control then we're aware
2:10 am
of i don't think it will work i think it will backfire. coming to 10 minutes plus this monday morning next the family of a british sudanese man who's been held for over 3 months in the sudanese prison has strongly condemned what they call the u.k. government's disappointing lack of action over his case coming from it was imprisoned in may after criticizing the african nations transitional military council of social media but then later cleared by prosecutors of any wrongdoing he says could have a chance to speak directly to one of mr ruff ms deal with his about his continuing to tension the. on the 11th of may 6th year old. british sudanese citizen was arrested and detained in khartoum despite a prosecutor finding him not guilty of any alleged crimes the sudanese authorities refuse to release him i've come to liverpool where one of kamala's daughters lives she tells me her father's story and how anger at the british government for its
2:11 am
failure to take action and protecting one of its own citizens were extremely worried obviously it's been 3 months now we're going into the 4th month of his detention despite the fact that he has not been charged with anything and his release has been ordered. it still hasn't been carried out gaining access to kemal in prison is difficult and unreliable even his own lawyer has not been allowed to visit him but as it has been once and described the conditions they're very isolated from the outside world they don't have access telephone calls try to send in newspapers he's not allowed access to newspapers. he's not been allowed access to his lawyer which is a basic human right for all detainees kemal moved to the u.k. in 1986 and worked for the n.h.s. as a doctor for 20 years all 4 of his children are british citizens too but the foreign office has been unresponsive to pleas from me to step in and secure his freedom the
2:12 am
embassy in khartoum haven't actually had direct contact with my father we as a family have been in contact with them updating them on my father's condition unfortunately they've had very little input so our only contact with the foreign office has been through our m.p. . and they've been very slow to respond their responses have been very disappointing i think it's very shameful it reflects very badly on the british government. whether you're a jewel national or british national if there's injustice happening then you need to take action early on. in his detention kemal went on an 8 day hunger strike hoping to draw attention to his plight but though it sparked protests in his hometown the international community failed to take notice it was a cry for attention and he went on a hunger strike for 8 days but unfortunately fell on deaf ears is obvious this is
2:13 am
a human rights violation and i would call upon the human international human rights organizations to get involved in my father's case i think there does need to be more attention on this to pressurize the british government into taking action against his unjust attention and also case is not unique a recent petition to force the foreign office to make its protection of citizens an obligation not a choice reveals that as many as 1000 brits apparently being detained abroad without trial as as others like her take matters into their own hands one can also the question is do you take government doing all it can to secure the wealth that human rights of all its citizens sask taylor r.t.m. livable because the ground recent. news update continues this monday morning from moscow we look in the stories ahead of the case of a texas man who was executed on murder charges last week despite till the very end
2:14 am
insisting he was innocent. you know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. will make this manufactured consensus public wealth. when the
2:15 am
ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. room the real news. i get this is about international good morning when the rest of the nexus probably is reporting on the story with iran's economy sinking deeper into recession and inflation and unemployment rate soaring washington sanctions regime on going it pains me taking a big tell among those bearing the brunt of the islamic republic's cancer patients who say they're increasingly unable not about access the vital treatment they need .
2:16 am
myth number one the united states sanctions medical supplies going to the iranian people the truth is that the united states exam specific and medical devices for the iranian people the iranian people know all too well that the real issue preventing access is the regime itself. as the reality is that the us is pushing iran under pressure and they are justifying their acts with these lawyers like the one said by mr hook in the video calls you need chemotherapy medicine is near impossible to access and expensive on
2:17 am
the market mr hooke says we give iran's government access to the medicine but when the money transfer system is plugged how can we even buy it. the realities with all the financial corridors in the wrong the blocks around the table to import any comes from and some from the original providers and brands which most in europe and we cannot pay the foreign currency that therefore you know the provides even the most generic paxil our government has to import from countries which are not developed in this industry. the texas mines were put to death of the rape and murder of a college student over 2 decades ago a crime that he insisted till the end he did not commit.
2:18 am
well prosecutors say they were certain that so our engine was responsible for the murder further they argue they were mountains of evidence they say demonstrating his guilt including for instance bits of the victim's clothing that were found in his trailer he also asked a fellow inmate a party to write a letter to his lawyer purporting to be the real killer soren gentles had a track record of violence against women they say but despite that his defense claimed that there were discrepancies in the prosecution's chronology and that on that basis he could not have been responsible they also allege that the clothing in the former that christians trailer may belong to somebody else moreover that the blood found out of the victim's fingernails didn't belong to either her or swear idjit they executed man's lawyer told us more about the conflicting evidence. we
2:19 am
presented the opinions of no less than 5 medical examiners who reviewed the path ology who reviewed the histology and all converged on a single conclusion which was that the body was left in the woods after mr sware engine was incarcerated they all work pro bono on mr square engines case they did not ask for a dime the examiner that 1st compared those 2 pieces of pantyhose said they were not a physical match it took 2 and a half days and eventually she made them match mr swear engine was poor he was an educated and he did very ignorant things that made him look guilty so engine isn't the 1st individual to be executed following ali contentious case in his defense that she made reference to cameron told william he was executed back in
2:20 am
2004 over the deaths of his 3 children by arson the some believe the evidence against him was misinterpreted is sure engines lawyer again. it starts with the prosecution it ends with the judges and it also has to do with the culture of texas. in which sympathy is not a virtue they also thought that the todd. that the cameron todd willingham case was case closed as well and that was an innocent man that was put to death on the basis of bogus fire arson testimony and that case has never died and neither will swear engines case they may have buried mr sware engine but this case will keep coming back we believe that. the state needs to take some action about how scientific evidence is presented and
2:21 am
evaluated by the courts. something like a special master system might be something to be considered so that we do not have basically the evil views of science ruling in the courtroom it will be vital in the future to make sure that this doesn't happen again. and if in our history could be made in space for all the wrong reasons allegations of the 1st cry in the earth orbit of surface jet this. there is only politically no truth to these claims when going through a painful past no separation is now unfortunately in the media.
2:22 am
ok i'm sorry but if this was me i would definitely own up to this how cool would it be to be the 1st human intergalactic space criminal. that potentially the 1st crime in space may have been committed by a woman and a lesbian speaks to how far we've come. that would be astronauts and mclean if this is true will have us her legacy of this crime instead of anything else she accomplished. what a terrible keep post it is that will progress is what's in for now keep across all the stories of course that he dot com done neither of those breaking new straits
2:23 am
mobile device as it went out it's committed to at 3 minutes past 9 o'clock in the morning this monday would i be doing today i hope the day goes well it is profitable for you and thanks for watching. them leave toyota to get up off the ground serve begins again here. game face on the sounds of maybe soon. i mean grown man like wrestling essentially the officer who. drew his own. will wish to do away from the office or the toys out of his crib. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then when it happened on tree swung at the officers hands didn't hit him i never saw any contact between the 2 at any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's
2:24 am
when the officer pulled out his gun and aimed it on tree. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. the 2 going to be pros this is what before. can people get. interested always in the water. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic. only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very.
2:25 am
you're watching the season finale of going underground with me afshin rattansi just hours off the european parliamentarians awarded julian a songe its most prestigious prize for journalists whistle blows and defenders of the right to information we will ask the un special rapporteur on torture by the british capture and imprisonment of the wiki leaks founder but 1st straight to new york to speak to legendary pink floyd front man roger waters about whether the actions of tourism made all trump in london merino against just symptomatic of rogue states. roger thanks for coming on the show let's just start with what went through your mind when you saw the pictures of assad being dragged out of the ecuadorian embassy in london by british police we had been warned for several days
2:26 am
because wiki leaks had got wind of the fact that they were going to actually do this but to see them physically carrying him out. special order no special branch as pows and putting him in that van and driving him away was absolutely chilling to think that the u.k. has become such a willing accomplice in satellites of the american empire that it would do such a thing in contravention of all lords moral ethical and actual legal restrictions is absolutely stunningly appalling and makes me ashamed to be an englishman i know you have campaigned against environmental destruction in ecuador under the lenin merino administration what do you think is behind the decision to let you keep billy's in to the embassy to capture him jump ill just said on this show that it would be a warning from history they bribe him with the promise of
2:27 am
a 4700000000 i.m.f. loan i may say that they culminate does not end with getting more rain out to give up julian assange. also they have plans to let chevron start drilling for oil in ecuador as most important national park which is a travesty beyond all imagination but let's stick to judea and the lower in the united states. after the patcher tact and 10221021 the amendments to it citizens barely have rights anymore everything is at the whim of the commander in chief and the commander in chief is anything is allowed now there is no law there is no recourse to the law something i've written about in lots of my songs over the years because it's when
2:28 am
the law goes. that we find ourselves pitched into. wars and this team at the moment bolton abramson trump himself and pence and all the rest of them are desperately trying to pitch the world the planet that we live on into this war sorry i'm drifting off julian who we should all be focusing on because he is who the whole world should be focusing on him now because if we let the u.k. get away with allowing him to be extradited to the united states and we allow the united states government at their whim to torture him and to detain him possibly for the rest of his life we would have allowed them several steps further down the road to absolute tyranny and probably the destruction of the planet that's my view
2:29 am
it's hugely important the british people need to stop their government from allowing been let in marina who would say that there is nothing bribe about bribery here he would say is not the cia base it meant to be the i.m.f. in fact he had an exclusive in the guardian once wiki leaks media which claimed that actually julian is onto some kind of by against marino in the embassy mary no the president of ecuador now. would say anything to make 10 shillings he this is a man of absolutely no substance and no morals and no compass he is only interested in that and the clearly lies constantly and consistently there is a me told parliament here to welcome isn't just capture and. apparently 70 m.p.'s in parliament of signed a letter saying this is about sex allegations in sweden looked war crimes that's
2:30 am
why he's in belmarsh prison in london he seems really because he gave donald trump won't sing well that's absolute nonsense as we know those charges have all been dropped long ago there are no charges standing against him except some spurious ad very minor. barn door bail charge and u.k. law which he's completely prepared to face under normal circumstances of jurisprudence in the u.k. the only reason he didn't was because he was frightened that as lackeys of the american empire the u.k. establishment would have him extradited to the usa which is what it looks as if they're trying to do theresa may comes from a long line of luck.
