told the us anybody having. access to our data. and billionaire michael bloomberg is set to take the stage at a democratic party presidential election debate for the 1st time amid criticism from a main rival that he's effectively buying. the low end welcome to the program this is our 2 international coming to you live from the russian capital bring your life news update. australian m.p.'s have called on the u.k. government to stop doing a songes extradition to the u.s. they visit the australian citizen and the london prison where he's being held ahead of an extradition hearing one of the lawmakers george christensen told us about the wiki leaks founders deteriorating condition. spike in this wake with professor mills mels of the u.n.

special repertory on torture. who come to the opinion the along with a number of medical experts that julian assange was exhibiting the symptoms of psychological torture visited julian assange. and are going to side there's nothing that i saw or that actually. discredited what those doctors and what mills melzer said he is exhibiting signs of disorientation. he did tell us about being kept in severe on a solution and on going on a solution or going to psych technically within belmarsh prison the conditions of the subject to apparently. but when you kept by yourself 20 to 22 as a guy with that minimal human contact you're effectively oss alloted 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 toll to extradite an australian citizen.

at of one foreign country into another foreign country to face charges for what for reporting on the facts. as doctors around the world also condemn the u.k.'s handling of the case warning a song is being subjected to psychological torture in jail more than $100.00 medics signed a joint letter urging authorities to take action and also called on the australian government to intervene to protect its citizens and that's the 4th such letter from doctors. meanwhile the guardian newspaper has published a feature article on plans to tackle media repression penned by the u.k. government's envoy on press freedom clooney however one key detail has been left out clooney has links to julian assange arguably the most high profile media repression case in the world today for any proposed to sanction all those who take part in jailing journalists for their work including ministers and prosecutors but says nothing about the fact that no such action is being prepared for the treatment

of the wiki leaks founder the article didn't even mention that clooney was actually a songes lawyer in the 2015 swedish extradition proceedings against him many have been angered by the guardian's convenient mission. 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. currently has julian assange has looked up at the behest of the us because he exposed war crimes the guardian publishes an article on press freedom failing to mention this unbelievably and unforgivably no mention of julian a songe journalist and broadcaster neil clark believes the a songe case is too shameful for the u.k. government to bring up to the journalist apparently apparently not 100 percent sure

but apparently didn't see the need to actually raise the raise the case of the most famous persecuted journalist in this interview about the persecution of this massive elephant in the room it's quite extraordinary how anybody could write an article about the persecution of journalists without mentioning. a sound for the establishment this whole case now is a big embarrassment. if you did a song it's either someone who could be attacked or too big price to be. a way to get talking about it in this context press. is another person you know girl is being persecuted oh let's talk about a cup she's official any countries that that's fine but not what we've actually got . just a few miles away down the road with us back at the jail for doing journalism. on a trip to brussels the u.s. house of representatives speaker has warned e.u. allies against walk away now simple o.c.

insists the chinese corporation is a major threat to security and should be barred from developing 5 g. telecom networks in europe but pelosi mentioned nothing about the far more wide scale improving u.s. global surveillance network artie's come up and explains. now that the impeachment debacle is all wrapped up guess who's going to europe in order to promote one of the trumpet ministrations key policies it's the speech ripper herself nancy pelosi the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives is urging european countries to drop plans to use while away as their 5 g. carrier for the benefit of a few corporations you cannot sell the privacy of the people of your country down the river as i said before it's like having the state police write the chinese state police right in your pocket you see nancy pelosi just cares about your privacy awed that she's one of what edward snowden called the gang of 8 key figures that are overseeing surveillance in the united states is far and snowden he did as

you know on the in the in disagreement with you he did violate the law in terms. of releasing those documents we don't know i understand. i understand odd timing as well it's just been revealed that the cia was the secret owner of a swiss company that was offering people encrypt people's privacy was compromised because the cia had a backdoor what the u.s. government speculates that china might be doing they have been caught doing themselves while the e.u. might be more apt to listen to a top democrat then to the donald it seems they still aren't buying nancy's song and dance her euro 2 were is a flop. while he will be able to continue in france and will not be excluded from the flight but

we will send such numbers are strictly protect themselves and see so we decided to ask people what they think of this supposed danger of china spying on them are they more afraid of china spying on them or the american probably us and i'm not so much worried about. china i'm worried about anybody having access to our data to be more. ready to spy on you to the chinese it could come from anywhere in the world u.s. . you can you would if i guess just the u.s. given say the alignment of interests from over the u.s. probably you know well the u.s. as far as i'm concerned. can go to hell but i don't know trump along with them it's a common pattern of human behavior sigmund freud called it projection nothing drives us crazy or thinking that someone else might be doing that naughty thing that we know we are doing ourselves. are to see new york artie's boom bust

spoke to walk away usa is andy purdy who notes the u.s. has been spying on the whole world for years not least while away itself you can watch the full interview on r.t. dot com but for now here's a quick preview. it was interesting the u.s. government says that the declassified the information so we welcome the opportunity to see what the evidence is but we really have to look at this in the broader context of the ongoing geo political dynamic between the u.s. and china the u.s. has some major issues with china and right now the u.s. wants to hurt china so badly that they're going to hurt america in trying to hurt while away and that's really a shame you look back some years ago when i brought snowden revealed information about the u.s. program prism and about the 5 year campaign of the u.s. government to spy on operation shop giant where they monitor it all while we network for 5 years and could not find any improper communications and in the prison program they found that the u.s. government used for example cisco equipment to spy around the world most recently

the washington post crypto 8 g. a swiss company that turned out is controlled by the cia so they've been monitoring encrypted communications of all the countries in the world except for china and russia so the fact is it is important to recognize the role of the equipment vendors and the telecom and mobile operators there is a lawful backdoor by the telecom the mobile operators that is triggered by lawful action by governments such as the u.s. government or china government we don't have that access we don't control that data . u.s. presidential candidate michael bloomberg will sell his media empire if he becomes president that announcement came ahead of the latest round of democratic debates being held on wednesday in las vegas bloomberg world for the 1st time face rivals who criticized the billionaire's massive spending on campaign ads it's estimated bloomberg has splashed out more than $400000000.00 on television radio and online ads that's 10 times more than current party front runner bernie sanders for

comparison spent around 325000000 on his whole 2016 campaign my colleague andrew farmer discuss the voters' views on bloomberg campaign with legal analyst for the master libertarian presidential candidate arbonne vera and political analyst dakota lily. if i could start with you. says that bloomberg is buying is that a fair comment i do think it's a fair comment even if you look at the rules that the d.n.c. has instituted this is a complete change of what they've done so far this complete you know this late runners coming into their campaign spending $400000000.00 with perhaps he's spending so much money and so that he can make up for the fact that he doesn't have any real grassroots support but i think it definitely amounts to vote buying it's not so problematic that bloomberg is spending money on his own campaign the bigger problem is the d.n.c. what rules is the democratic national committee democratic national committee making with superdelegates and with everything else because the way the d.n.c.

seems to be operating is that you're allowed to run for president play if you have the money or if we at least approve of you it's not against bloomberg it's not it's not his fault that he's need to spend this kind of money because that's the way campaigns are the bloomberg campaigns views would be massively unpopular with a lot of the democratic base and a lot of the american people and by fixating on this sort of minor non-issue i mean in politics you ought to spend as much of your own money as you want to by trying to get people to fixate on this non issue the bloomberg campaign is affectively distracting america from the positions that bloomberg holds that are at odds with the majority of both the democratic base and the american people this is a very unpopular person with very unpopular opinions according to the democratic party base and also the general population he's polling you know i haven't seen one poll where he's polling above 5 percent this is really showing the corruption of the d.n.c. what there is nothing illegal about what he's doing but i think really that's part

of the larger indictment of the american political system more than anything else as well as the rules of the d.n.c. as has been stated that this is an indictment that was a perfect description of the american political system of course you can look at the republican party a lot of republican candidates had a. a lot of money back in 2016 and yes donald trump spent his own he was not favored to when he was not going to when hillary clinton had tons of funding between hollywood between lots and lots of billionaire billionaires so the american people could still vote but that also raises the question when there are lots of different candidates within one party like we're seeing with the d.n.c. and i think the american people deserve to see who the candidates are and what their actual viewpoints are and how they stand on things democrats and republicans they control the presidential debates they change the the commission on presidential big debates has changed the debate threshold the do everything they can to keep 3rd parties and independents out of the debates and you can see this in the way that they mistreat any candidate. that opposes

a massive military overage so they've shut out sanders jabbered all the 3rd party candidates who oppose it the united states is definitely an oligarchy and i think that most of the people the united states know there's a lot of these people who voted for obama and they're voting for trump but both of these people received plenty of money from fossil fuel companies from banking institutions from financial institutions from all these different entities but in a true oligarchy not much has been done about it. british environmental activist group extinction rebellion has vandalized the lawn of a carriage university college they claim invest in fossil fuels 3 activists have been arrested with others in custody are just so dear to reports digging up the lawn of a world renowned college stopping traffic and a whole week of protests is this a way to gain support this is normally one of the busiest roads right here in the center of cambridge but as you can see it's pretty quiet today apart from the music

playing behind me and that's because extinction rebellion have blockaded this road but what do the locals think about this is just fine it is an absolute beggars and . so all they're doing is a native people they're not getting anybody on their side of this they just annoy people. trinity college is ties with fossil fuel companies investments of around $9000000.00 pounds or what's driving the anger of the activists trinity college has invested $9100000000.00 pounds in oil and gas companies the most of any of the 45 oxbridge colleges they are complicit in the climate and ecological crisis trinity college responded with this the college respects the rights of free speech nonviolent protest but draws the line of criminal damage in these liaison with the police and the police have had to control the uproar. the right to peaceful protest wish police have

a duty to facilitate needs to be balanced against the other responsibilities of the police to promote public safety maintain public order prevent crime and protect the rights of others but how has the actions of the group encourage the ports is this the moment where extinction rebellion muses sympathy very low tickling turn truth for. the really inconvenient. books they don't want they want to do very different they should crack up and go on to dot's over half of what should be after coming here to cambridge today it's clear that those of them in a situation between the protesters and locals a full week of disruption and rebellion now dear it's all to. fill the calm in the 2nd half of the program a top german official hits out at both left and right wing parties for the rolling christian democrats deepening crisis the details are not after the short break.

when almost sure seemed wrong. but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out just to become educated and in the game should equal the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. we're still in an era of resource colonialism again this is a big risk and the one big thing that could really inhibit the kind of electric vehicle revolution that a lot of us want to see is if we can't resource the battery components in

a sustainable ethical way then it's not going to be a successful revolution. welcome back a top official from germany's ruling christian democrats has blamed both left and right wing parties for its following public support there has been a massive voter backlash to the c.d.s. alliance and a key regional election with the anti immigrant alternative for germany party could offer as more. the times a set for changing for angle of a christian democratic union party with their good at our announcing that she will step down as party leader and it she doesn't want to be considered for the election

if chancellor next year it means big changes have to be made but instead of getting on with making those big changes some in the c.d.u. party leadership are pointing the finger of blame at both poles of german politics saying they're to blame for the c.d.u. suffering the any of you benefits a little from what the left party has been saying for 30 years maybe did everything is bad they can reap the benefits of that now will protest voters have gone to the a.f.d. the debacle into danger where the c.d.u. allying themselves with the right wing a.f. de ultimately toppled calabar in an attempt to bring some stability to the central german state the left party proposed putting in place former minister president christine liebknecht of the c.d.u. until new elections can be held to rehear is far from having stable conditions which the absolute majority of citizens want the proposal of appointing the bin actors transitional prime minister sees to open

a nonpartizan way this is acceptable for the democratic parties in this parliament great problem solved not quite a situation that came about after the c.d.u. broke promises not to allying themselves with the right wing could only be temporarily solved if they were to break all the promises not to align themselves with the far left leaving the ruling party in a damned if they do damned if they don't predicament the situation in chile is very complicated for the c.d.u. it can only do this because the path of its electorate. wants to have a clear message began to be a deep and they're not providing that while another part of the electorate. well they would much rather not. vote for a party that is in line with what is going on behind the seeds. for the succession

to angular mirco and some people say that she has damage. irreversibly and that the party is now in a death spiral because of america's politics with england merkel's preferred choice of party leader taking herself out of the running the future of the christian democratic union party is currently a 4 way race and with angle of merkel set to remain in the role of chancellor until late 2021 the real question has to be will whoever gets the job of c.d.u. chairperson be willing to play 2nd fiddle to the chancellor until then especially after having watched a case toothless performance doing just that if they weren't then well perhaps the reign of germany's 2nd longest serving post-war chancellor could well come to an end sooner than she would have expected with elections being called early peter all

of a r.t. early lastly we bring you some world news in brief starting an iraq where security forces have stepped up their crackdown on mass protests. as you can see police used tear gas to force thousands of people from the central square in baghdad iraq has been gripped by mass unrest over government corruption since october of last year demonstrations have continued despite the resignation of the prime minister. plus hundreds of homes have been flooded in the u.s. state of mississippi after torrential rain these are the latest pictures from the city of ridgeland forecasters are predicting further downpours and authorities in the state capital jackson have urged hundreds of residents not to return home until they get the all clear. and passengers have begun departing coronavirus hit

the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks on the catholic population of belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was that the r.u.c. the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they work . active participants in the burning of full streets in belfast at the plague more than a 100 innocent civilians with blood it has to live you can see in yours and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and its occurrence which the solution was involved in some of those cases the killers would lead to be named goodland i'm guessing i think it went to the very very top i think if the phones crossed the water where politicians you thought was going on and
