nothing. more than a 100 doctors from around the world sign a letter condemning the british government's treatment of judy in the song they claim he's been subject to cycle or psychological torture while in prison has revealed the young sex trafficking victim in the u.k. didn't receive any support from the authorities until the case ended up in the high court we hear. it's completely unacceptable that someone so vulnerable and someone is so at risk of being trafficking was not provided with the support of the accommodation that this is desperately needed and after years of calls by politicians and the public place which regulation is mark zuckerberg presents a new oversight body for what is the world's most every social media platform.

and i welcome you watching r.t. international doctors from around the world have condemned the british government over its handling of the judean a sanch case in the wiki leaks founder is under constant psychological torture while being held in prison more than $100.00 doctors have signed a joint letter urging the u.k. authorities to take action they also called on the australian government to intervene to protect its citizens it is the 4th doctor's letter since i made his 1st court appearance when they noticed his bad condition. and nowhere to documented the history of denial of access to health care and prolonged psychological torture it requested that the sons be transferred from belmarsh prison to university teaching hospital for medical assessment and treatment faced with evidence of

untreated i'm only going to or should we also raise the question as to the son's fitness to participate in the u.s. extradition proceedings next week a sanch faces an extradition extradition hearing to the u.s. where he's been charged with hacking into pentagon computers and also with espionage ahead of it the current wiki leaks editor in chief condemned the u.k. you know action there's a political. what's at stake is not just. close to lots of praise 175 years in prison if you go to those. he's the future journalist that's how important is this is the greatest on to listen to. the australian emp a george christiansen has visited a songe in prison and says the condition of the journalist is frightening. spike in this wake with professor mills mels of the un special rapporteur on torture. come

to the opinion along with a number of medical experts that julian assange was exhibiting the symptoms of psychological torture visited julian assange. and are going to cite is nothing that are sore that actually. discredited what those doctors and what mills melzer said he is exhibiting saw ends of disorientation. he did tell us about being kept in severe or solution and ongoing a solution or going to side technically within belmarsh prison the conditions of the subject to apparently solution but when you kept by yourself 20 to 22 it was a guy with that minimal human contact you're effectively ocelot it so all of that has led to a guess at the plated state of health for julian a songe and i don't think it's fair or told to extradite an australian citizen.

of one foreign country into another foreign country to face charges for what for reporting on the facts. meanwhile the guardian newspaper has published a feature article on plans to tackle media repression by the british special envoy on press freedom i'm out cleaning however one key detail was a mrs clooney thinks to doing a song and his case in particular despite the fact he's one of the highest profile cases of a journalist being persecuted in the country the guardian's article focused on cleaning plan she proposed to sanction all those it is a paid in jailing journalists for their work including ministers and prosecutes is something that hasn't happened in a stone g.'s case the article didn't even mention clooney was actually songes lawyer joining the swedish extradition proceedings against him back in 2015 the mission has directed plenty of anger towards the guardian.

congratulations are in order to the guardian's patrick wintour who's managed to write a whole article on global media suppression without mentioning the phrase julian assange the foreign office will no doubt continue to be delighted the u.k. government leakers julian assange she looked up at the because still the us because he exposed war crimes the guardian publishes an article on press freedom failing to mention business unbelievably and unforgivably no mention of julian a science journalist and broadcaster neil clark believes the government doesn't want to talk about the assigned cases it is too shameful when to the journalist apparently apparently we are not 100 percent sure but apparently didn't see the need to actually brace the rest is the case of the most famous persecuted journalist in this interview about the persecution 'd of journalists it's a massive elephant in the room it's quite extraordinary 'd how anybody could write an article about the persecution of journalists without mentioning. a search for

the establishment this whole case now is a big embarrassment. and a staunch it's either someone who could be attacked or to be ignored is a place to be ignored a way to get talking about it in this context press that the persecution of journalists is another person is another person you know could careless being persecuted oh let's talk about other countries official enemy countries that that's fine but not what we actually got the guy just a few miles away down the road from us back up in jail for doing journalism. on the british woman who'd been repeatedly sex trafficked by drug gangs was denied support from the british government until compelled by the high court the shocking revelation comes to spite me kay claiming it does lead the way in the fight against forced labor there chewed up as more story. the cake claims to be a world leader when it comes to fighting modern slavery and people trafficking yet

if you take the story of this 22 year old woman that seems fall from the case. she was 1st registered as a victim of sex trafficking in 2019 and a professional should have been provided with safe refuge yet the home office failed to find any it's shocking really it's completely unacceptable that someone so vulnerable and someone so at risk free trafficking was not provided to support them accommodation that they said desperately needed with no support from the government this young woman was drawn into a vicious circle once again it was in june 2019 that i was made a decision not

a crime as a potential victim of trafficking not spend the legal obligation to provide adequate support and assistance 1st a very. home office was underage to protect her. this is in spite of the fact that she has contacts mental health health problems people who are. often do it because because of their experience so you respect the fact yes they were under. support but when the woman was ready to be discharged from the mental facility the home office claimed her mental state meant there was absolutely no west suitable to house her from the time when b. . the decision was made that she was a potential victim of trafficking up until january 2020 and the home was well aware that there was at least 3 instances agreed trafficking for the perkins sexual exploitation i made the case. the high court that time arkwright was being released to homelessness you've been discharged from hospital and the judge ordered that

they must require you to continue to. officials have been vague to say the least in their comments on the case i was significant reforms of the national referral the hedonism for victims of modern slavery such as the introduction of new single component all authority the launch of a digital referral form as sure victims get the support they need more quickly there's been constant criticism that all the government talk on ending modern day slavery does not match in practice accusations that funding and support for victims are clearly inadequate figures from 2019 confirmed that more than 2000 survivors of modern day slavery were given housing and specialist support but it's not enough according to come painters who claim that a lack of safe and specialised accommodation is in fact leaving many of the victims traumatized isolated and vulnerable to read trafficking their deer or tutor r.t. . facebook boss mark zuckerberg has once again stated the big tech companies need

more state regulation his latest comments did come in an article in the financial times and they came shortly after the social media giant announced its new independent oversight body however it's already raising questions about impartiality on quarter has more for years political scandals and government pressure to regulate content have been a thorn in facebook's side does not just about innovation you need regulation we get these we can and then again what do we tell our constituents given what's happened here while we should let you self regulate i don't want to vote to have to regulate facebook. but i got i will as the social media giant strayed away from its roots of connecting friends and family over the internet and began playing politics to grow its influence things started to get a bit hairy for the company facebook's fight against so-called russian bots and up targeting many accounts that had nothing to do with russia its campaign to flag

political ads treat some organizations better than others and the army of fact checkers often seems more like a censor for certain political opinions facebook's critics are far from satisfied facebook's not just going to relax but intends to reelect trump this is a global company that has huge influence in ways that we're only beginning to understand and there's george soros who even called for mark zuckerberg to be removed it seems facebook c.e.o. has dug a deep hole for himself we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a mistake and i'm sorry for it it was my mistake and i'm sorry this was a major breach of trust and i'm really sorry that this happened now he's calling for more serious regulation of social media content as for who should step up to the plate well zuckerberg wants to pass that buck on to someone else. somebody else

the need but it's all over the slides when we make decisions which is why we creating an independent oversight board so people can appeal for these books come to decisions the director proposed for the so-called independent board goes by the name of thomas hughes and he says he's fully on board with the human rights and diversity agenda. the oversight board is committed to protecting free expression and human rights its composition will be global and diverse and whilst there will be disagreement at times this diversity lies at the core of this important innovation that sure sounds nice but you have to wonder how hughes actually defines those ideas especially since he was the leader of a british angio called article 19 it's directly funded by the state department and the national endowment for democracy think tank which promotes regime change in countries washington is very happy with can we really expect a judge jury and executioner of social media with that background to be independent

i'm kind of shocked i have to admit to see that mark zuckerberg is looking for the government to go ahead and interfere now for so many years web sites like facebook were under the protection of the communications decency act section $230.00 which did not hold it to the accountability that it technically should or should be held to as a publisher because they do moderate and kind of control the content that's on there so it's not really an online free for all where they're free of liability these guys are in you know sitting the high and mighty in silicon valley where 99 percent of the people are liberals and a large percentage of the staff of facebook are liberals and on facebook board i think only one conservative which have been kind of knocked in the in the media previously as kind of a token individual just there to provide some semblance of diversity we know what the political ideologies are of the people who are running the website that's why

i'm a little bit surprised those on elected bureaucrats that may sit on that board can change from time to time depending on who the president is and you never really know how in practical application the execution is going to work out. canada's prime minister schooled in the merchants the meeting with his ministers to protest. the cross. the country the rapidly escalating rallies hope to stop a vast proposed gas pipeline in british columbia about 30 percent of which will cross territories that belong to indigenous communities protests spread further to you after police raided an activist camp and arrested several people and the move sparked a public outcry. well

the company that is building the pipeline says it's had received permission from indigenous elected councils but tribal chiefs are against the construction we discussed the conflict with journalist to me from the scotus and also a mohawk nation member russell d. oppa. the witch shouldn't have never signed a treaty with canada. they have an aboriginal tell you no edition title to their land and they don't operate under the india back there there are already a terry traditional government system their salmon bearing stream or some other pristine force and that this pipeline would go through that they're objecting to it which is why they proposed an alternative route but really it is. an issue about corporate interests trumping indigenous rights in canada i mean coastal gas link

the west so it and as i understand it had proposed an alternative route for the pipeline the company said no because of the economic issues associated with changing the route but i think it's going to cost them more money if they continue the conflict and don't do these protests this is actually quite unusual by canadian standards when they begin to have an impact on the economic interests of large businesses in this country then that's an escalation of the fire that the prime minister is forced to deal with it's very hard to see where there's a resolution here because frankly the only resolution that respects truly respects the rights of indigenous people is to put a stop to that pipeline project this is unseated territory the hereditary chiefs of the what's working people have not consented to this project and that is rightly given the historical abuses that have been horrible abuses that have been visited upon indigenous peoples in this country i think you know we're hearing a lot of lip service as we have for many years from the corporate community in this country about their commitment to human rights and environment but the reality is

radically inconsistent with their rhetoric and it's time for us to recognise that at the governmental level. now the u.s. secretary of state is in africa at the moment in a bid to win back business from china these companies do dominate the continent but my poem pays woman speeches to stand in stark contrast to washington's recent actions in the region and the pain as the story. mike pompei 0 is on a goodwill tour of the african continent trying to convince nations that they have no better friend than the good old us of a. that is their business to the bikers going to the missions going to delete posts with your guess. is that their business is sure to the whole sure as well during our meeting i congratulated both the president and the foreign minister on the newly discovered energy reserves off the coast american

firms like cosmos energy hell burton baker hughes are all helping to develop these resources so that they benefit the senate good senegalese people not foreign actors now my pompei o has been the us secretary of state for some time however his interest in africa seems to be quite new but perhaps that's because his trip to africa isn't really about africa it's about competing with china it's tempting to accept easy money from places like china. but what good is it if it feeds corruption and undermines your rule of law but that ship has sailed china is already very well in bedded in africa it's the continent's largest trading partner not to mention the fact that beijing has been splashing cash on to development.

furthermore mike pompei it was timing seems to be a little bit off the travel ban has just been expanded to include several african countries so you're not welcome in america but be sure to give u.s. officials a hearty welcome not the most winning message. the government expresses its dismay at this unfriendly acts which runs counter to the administration's pronounced policy of constructive engagement to address past wrongs with west africa struggling to protect itself from terrorist groups the usa may have sealed its alliance with military aid however that military aid is being scaled back the usa is also reducing other support in the region. we have spoken with the us about

the need for that presence in the area we hope that the americans will continue to help us in security training and intelligence. also do you remember a certain leader who referred to african countries with some rather profane words well there's still no apology on that there are 54 countries that make up the continent of africa 54 places president from considers to be countries as opposed to describe some immigrants coming from africa as coming from countries tom denies using such derogatory language and democratic senator who sat next to mr trump in the meetings insists that the president repeatedly used the wood to describe the countries now behind all the lights cameras handshakes and photo ops mike pompei oh really wants africans to believe that america is their best friend especially if they're trying to get close to china but i think. clearly quite concerned just like the united states are concerned that the chinese have taken a massive lead across the uk and for now as far as i know the chinese have already

got hold in africa because trust the chinese worked with the chinese if you read the chinese and told access these access levels it was not because i because we're fearful of the chinese or of the they didn't trust them it's because of because believe that they wanted to choose their own destiny and chose a pot which was not the united states for the u.s. was the you. it is trying to cultivate for the u.s. to want to compete with that right now i'm afraid there 10 years too late. the news tonight or palestinians have dismissed an invitation to attend an art of their held on israeli settlements as insulting so they come to occupied territory 2 in the rear with your gibberish negates palestinian development through a network of checkpoints roadblocks and closed moves resumes and then the

journalists you can attend in igloos the military rear israeli military has given approval for up to 15000 people to attend the gathering in disputed parts of the west bank organizers say politics has nothing to do with it it's an unofficial version of the burning man event in the us which prioritises quote radical inclusion among its guiding principles mean that anybody can attend however palestinians who want to go to the west bank version will need to get approval from the israeli army although it seems not many are willing to attend the event at all . as palestinian citizens we are all against this except those who cooperate with york patient i don't agree with or support this this normalise is the occupation and we want these released to leave our lands just like i said i will never take part because i'm not a traitor to my country of course i'm against it they made this festival to provoke us it would be a dishonor for me to persist

a place alongside such people this is an occupied holy land i reject this 1st of all i cannot participate in the generation the occupation trumps so-called deal of the century which for me i will never go and i don't advise anyone to go for we have asked vent to organize this as well as these writing me to calm and to comment on why west bank palestinians do need permission to attend although so far we haven't had a reply. victory mail is a new project that's been launched by r.t. uniting those who went through the horrors of world war 2 with modern day generations through it you can send a letter to veterans of that war and tell them how you feel about what they did one of them served in the arctic convoys transporting vital supplies to soviet russia while he put his own life on the line he still feels that anybody would have done the same.

as in this side as sung really guy was at so i'm churchill say it was one of the worst journeys in the world and. most respect for them. did not i don't know began. and he. was always well we say he summed up places i was starving starving to death. and. i've been to a sad a cemetery where they just mans of earth where they no cousteau i had and i gave

so and buried them then no. they just numbers. there was 27000000 russians killed would cure in a war. where their sacrifice and the sect christophe's of days russian convoys that woke would never pay money the only regret of dumb spite russian. you know. quite happy. to reply to any lets is that you lot the same. the me just. try there's no wife face. a worthwhile project

well for many veterans monuments are places of healing and the motherland cause in russia is europe's tallest statue has been caught say one film shrouded in mystery or beautiful pictures it is 85 meters high can just see paving through or their waist size is still nothing close to demonstrating the sheer scale of the losses during the war it was built back in 1987 to pay tribute to the heroes of the battle of stalingrad although it is perceived by many as a general symbol of the war. you're watching our international don't forget plenty of stories too on our website you can find that article. in the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s.

medically you know they said well this ought to hit stock markets because it's going to hit globalization is going to hit commerce it's going to hit trade so every time somebody says this could be bad or do they say oh of course jay pal at the u.s. federal reserve he's going to cut interest rates he's going to flood the market with money the kind of problems that this week but here is the headline coronavirus rally continues s. and p. 500 index at yet another all time high there used to be something called a business cycle where you know the labor for example if their cost would get too high then the central bank would step in and they would take an action to cool things down exciter but this environment is a one trick pony no matter what the news is good news bad news i mean it doesn't make any difference.
