9:03 am
and they offered him bail he breached the bail money all the ecuadorian government for asylum they bronzer did he end up living in the ecuadorian embassy in the u.k. for nearly 7 years and then they pulled out diplomatic rug from under the carpet for him then the british government then the police arrested him in the at the door and i miss you when he was removed he's now in belmarsh prison and then the u.s. they launched a criminal cold case against him and his e-mail as you know that's where we all now journalists say that he's doing nothing the other journalists do is freedom of speech those who oppose him say he's a traitor and putting lives in danger but he does have a lot of high profile supporters including vivienne westwood from the fashion world christiane from the pride and the pretenders clooney it's a name such as you we can hear now from roger waters from pink floyd you've been very vocal about his believes. well the polls.

julian assange should america getting a fair trial 00 charles they're breaking the law to try and get him there that would there is an extradition treaty between the u.k. and the united states which has a number of articles of the forethought to koloff ways that no extradition proceedings should even taught if there is a political motivation to it this is a political course it is 100 percent political so a legal proceeding it's all it's a job and it's disgusting and and and for english prudence to fail an ordinary journalist doing his job properly like this makes me ashamed to being which. they've almost killed him in belmarsh he's really sick if you read craig murray's description of him in the in the last hearing before that awful
9:05 am
magistrate. it's really really moving craig's a friend of his and he's you know chilling could he could hardly remember a zone name. he maybe did got a drug a law which they probably have probably gotten on all kinds of you know trial lawyers to use as well but. now he's been in prison for 7 years now in the ecuadorian embassy and now in the spikes security place at boma it's disgusting he hasn't committed a crime. the case is crucial only if you believe in the rule of law and freedom of speech and he and if you believe that the press and journalists have a responsibility to inform the public if they kill a song it's going to be at the back of everybody else's my all my god they killed him they're going to kill me too if i step out of line it's a way of a search for authority so that nobody will report it. anything that said could be
9:06 am
due to a power. to committed no crime apart from a minor bail if the fridge when he did it it's absolutely clear now that he didn't rape anyone in stock oh that was a poor thing to try and get it he was so right when he said he was frightened of going to suite because they would actually die it's. exactly what they would have done is this is being borne out completely by what's happened now here in the united kingdom where the u.k. government have decided to feed him to the wolves. also today u.s. media are throwing yet more meddling accusations east this time it's the democrats front runner for the 2020 presidential election is being dragged in bernie sanders is leading the polls ahead of the next nomination vote in the state of nevada and the washington post now claiming then through unnamed sources that he's receiving russian help for his campaign. it was not clear what role they're going to play we
9:07 am

9:08 am
i know i can be a bit of a warrior you know better than anyone but this time i really think we might have a serious. situation on our hands it is the conclusion of multiple us intelligence agencies that the russian federation is once again trying to interfere in our 2020 alexion our presidential election again to try to elect donald trump the russians off to american democracy again and there's just so much evidence to back it up this time in a closed meeting undisclosed intelligence officials told congress that moscow wants to keep orange one in the white house for another few years and 5 unnamed people who apparently are in the loop told us so it's a soul thing i turned on the t.v. and everyone's quoting it a bombshell revelation just makes me panic more than america's democracy once again under attack by a foreign adversary new revelations about russian efforts to interfere in the 2020
9:09 am
election with the hope of getting the president president through a real life and also to make americans doubt the integrity of the election process this is not a 4 year ago flashback folks this is 2020 and the media wouldn't so panic to jump on the bandwagon just to boost their ratings that would be unconscionable wouldn't it i know you'll say i'm i'm spiraling but can you see how burn up proof this latest report is i mean i agree i did read the article which published the info for us and there isn't a single concrete fact a piece of evidence provided but they promise it will all come to light soon both republicans and democrats the intelligence agencies to hand over the underlying material that prompted the conclusion the rush is again favoring mr trump selection how soon the house committee might get that information is not clear and if that wasn't convincing enough trump thought the director of national intelligence and replaced him with among his support said i can't be
9:10 am
a coincidence can it i mean that's basically admitting that he's a criminal stooge and the president of the united states is now helping the president of russia help the president of the united. just to get reelected now i don't want to exaggerate or anything but this is a national emergency we are now in a full blown national security crisis by trying to prevent the flow of intelligence to congress trump is abetting a russian covert operation to keep him in office from moscow's interests not america's and politicians are panicking to it so seriously even tweeted about it poor hillary is also chimed in still a bit saw over the whole 26 didn't tast i suppose putin's puppet is at it again taken russian help for himself he knows he can win without it and we can't let it happen i mean it is so unfair the democrats are just being unlucky the mourner report was a boston pietschmann felt flat on its face but still how could anyone pick trump
9:11 am
over that and jessica inspiring democrat candidates on offer take joe biden for example sure he's got a chance on approach but he's clearly a good parent and that's got to count for something right then does michael bloomberg sure he made a few crude comments apparently about women back in the eighty's but these were different times now he's just a good old clean billionaire and bernie sanders are good old bernie 5 mo was giving his honest opinion when he allegedly said a woman couldn't become a president no no the more i think about it the clearer it is a trump 2020 victory could only have the kremlin's fingerprints all over it. diary what a disaster. not to worry about. those who are leading politicians in germany this weekend last year the anti immigration alternative in germany part in the wake of wednesday's racially motivated must shoot into 2 bars and her no
9:12 am
we've killed 9 the lawmakers argue that the f.t. has helped create an atmosphere of a true. but in the 1st glance it looks like it was a lone wolf attack one man carried it out but there were those who had provided him with ammunition and the a of these definitely among them used in germany struggles to come to terms with the events of this week's tragic slayings in hull now we've seen politicians from the christian democratic union the social democrats they are part of the ruling coalition as well as the left party and the greens as well coming out and accusing alternative media day of funding the flames of far right extremism in the country of course there's a direct connection between the growing strength of the a.f.d. and the increase in right wing violence citizens of foreign descent are being denied their human dignity it's so dangerous because it brings someone to a point where they commit a crime here we have a fatal disinhibition at work and the a.f.d. bear responsibility for that too 9 people were killed this week 2 shooting
9:13 am
incidents at 2 separate she should bars in the city of homs now all of those that were killed were from an immigrant background most of them were young people as well we heard from one eyewitness who describe for us the scenes of that night. the man came in and started shooting at a kiosk then he came to us he shot the 1st person in the head then shot of the 2nd person we'll drop down to the ground i pretended to be dead we all pretended to be dead we all fell down and he the shooter had emptied his magazine by then and just run away so i opened my eyes i was ok i was still alive but i just didn't want to believe it was real i asked unitive everything was ok he groaned he got me he got me there was a hole in his neck i shouted the other guy to ask if he was ok he hadn't seen a bullet in the shoulder yet he didn't see the blood as he was wearing a coat he said you know i'm ok i stood up and so interest line is brother nasser he
9:14 am
was dead the others were lying there too so i went out and peeped into the kiosk. the people in there ruled out so i didn't know what to do i just couldn't believe it was happening or police have confirmed that the main suspect had killed himself his body was found alongside one of the 7 the mother the 42 year old own and 2 weapons legally the handgun that he used to carry out the attack had been modified to allow it to release bullets quicker is that alongside calls for tighter security and more surveillance of far right to vittie in germany there are also calls for tougher gun laws in the country. and i have the spokes person spoke about this to us claims the german establishment desperately trying to link the atrocity to his party. killa there was a paranoid he was sued because of pranic and the police said it very soon on twitter. this guy had no connection to any any political group
9:15 am
to any ride to extremists to any right wing groups and what this world is a terrible. situation that the all political parties are trying to stick it somehow to the a.f.p. this is the only way how can they manage to fight against us because they have no real political arguments and pollin the political discussion so therefore they are always just trying to push us into a right to win corner so that people are afraid even to talk to us to listen to our political arguments we are we are living in a. very heavy political oppression. the past 5 they are here moscow would have tom is saying your part of the world time so what should i sit out international this is among stories ahead a developing story from italy where police of rape the room of

9:17 am
isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. i get human rights groups are demanding that british university suspends a master's program it runs with bahrain's royal academy of policing how does field university flies academics to bahrain despite rights campaigners condemning the kingdom as a torture for prisoner abuse a directive for the right institute for rights and democracy says it has detailed allegations from 10 prisoners who allege they've been tortured. we opened those
9:18 am
testimonies which came to us there from this into the prism behind your prison and somebody called us to give us the details of how those individuals or thought this is i'm talking about the fears 10 testimony from the victims that ikey detailing how they were abused. there is a consistent account on many of them where subjected to physical and psychological torture some of them were subjected to electric shocks some of a lot of them where naked that during their interrogation they were blindfolded some of them were raped and sexually assaulted had they make threats against their families and just last weekend i happened to know there my own family including my brother in law was subjected to torture at the royal academy this is what i got from his last chord in 2017 a u.n. report called for the claims of torture of the ill treatment of prisoners to be
9:19 am
more thoroughly investigated it seems previous complaints made by rights groups were not reviewed independently enough the university refuses to confirm how much it's being paid by borrowing at the moment saying it's a commercially sensitive thing but it went on to say as well it will give consideration to the request maybe respond in the coming days if they do we'll let you know also we asked the bahraini government and university to comment same thing about the rights group says it's repeatedly called for the course to be dropped. the british government got to stop their own go and get training with security forces because if it did anything kid did the in a set of improving the situation they just simply have them to cover up abuses the place where they teach the course is the place where the prisoners get tortured so it's extremely serious allegations we have extremely strong evidence and can be even verified within asylum seekers in britain. and italian police raid on
9:20 am
a hotel that hoess russian athletes has created a diplomatic spat it involves a champion russian where previously served a doping ban the russian embassy in italy is question the grounds for the search it goes down off reports all the scandal stems from the accusations of the personal coach of the russian biathlete del xander logon of that he used a fake or somebody else's accreditation to move around the competition site now he and alexander logon of himself have their hotel rooms searched by the police and their personal electronic devices were confiscated by the officers that includes the notebooks and mobile phones here's how to log in to a room may describe the situation as he witnessed it they didn't allow us to leave the room but they had no questions for me they took all of our devices put them on the table but they confiscated our exams devices to copy all the data from his phone and computer we asked them when they would return the devices they answered they didn't know and the experts would analyze them and copy the files i had
9:21 am
a matter of seconds to message my teammates and coach now apparently the measures were taken out of suspicion that kasparov reached the coach that he used a fake accreditation to bring doping to bring illegal drugs to to his athlete but while only comes to alexander logan of he does have a history of substance abuse he was banned from participating in competitions but then was. reinstated the ban was lifted and he was back in the he was back i should say in the big sports but here this whole thing is turning into a bit of a diplomatic scandal because russia is saying that in this particular case the presumption of innocence has to be maintained and that no allegations no accuse ations of should be taken at face value and alexander logan for instance of that whole thing happened literally hours before he would show jewel to participate in a biathlon relay which he is still doing by the way he wasn't called from the team
9:22 am
all saw russia has sent all sorts of less as the ministry to the sports ministry is involved they are demanding explanations as to why such measures are being taken and apply to the russian team but it's another nation's team in question then a completely different set of measures is being taken and not as harsh as russia has to bear the french team also had the same situation at this world cup but their man was only fined $500.00 euros and now the case has been exaggerated to an absurd level i'm 100 percent sure this was well planned. now the international biathlon union has launched a legal investigation a legal case against the russian team and against the coach so we'll have to see how their version of events fares in court. and check out some of the headlines from around the world clashes broke up to police and students in the colombian capital bogota friday.

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. just the pretty you know the moon but it is certainly one of. to much for the privilege of. marriage from the north when they're. not. quite in converting from your order from the eastern. europe where it

seems to trace. pretty good. that that. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage 3 parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the only population tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes come up with strike and put these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were. as the review can seniors 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. and i think it

a look at the past for the sector during this situation plus the week has come to an end so it's time to take a swing around the globe to analyze how markets performed make global uncertainty and could there be a new frontier for biohacking today we break down the recent reports on the practice and what concerns there are around the sector. today it's a let's go and dive right in. china has suspended more punitive tariffs on imports of u.s. goods in response to its truce in the trade war these goods include industrial components and medical and factory equipment and this comes at a time china is struggling to contain the mounting costs of the viral outbreak that has closed factories stores and slowed exports and while china hinted that the outbreak constituted as a force majeure or and therefore will have to delay fulfilling its commitments under phase one reuters now reports quote the u.s. government still expects china to honor its commitments to which it had agreed late last year many analysts didn't see this happening even before the outbreak started
9:29 am
and now it looks increasingly unlikely and it looks like president doesn't even believe that he can strong arm trying to into these commitments as he has preemptively promised farmers a 3rd ag bailout package and as global markets sink friday on fears of corona outbreak spreading let's take a look at the positive side of this with more than 76000 confirmed cases worldwide only 2247 deaths have been reported as of friday the overall death rate from c.d.c. study is about 2.3 percent which is much higher than the death rate of the flu which is around one percent in the u.s. but it is much less deadly than sawers which had a mortality rate of 9.6 percent china reports that 7862 patients have made for recovery since the outbreak began. and and this number will continue to improve as researchers develop new combination therapies to treat the virus kristie it's very important to know here that this is something you don't hear all the time you hear about how many cases we have how many deaths we have and i guess you're just to
9:30 am
assume that the people who didn't die have recovered but to see those numbers and those are almost reported daily in china correct yes they are reported daily and as well right now you see the number of full recoveries being quite low but these are always the people who are reported moderate to severe symptoms who are actively in the hospital who are actively in trials there are over 80 current trials now pending between galia and a no bar to stand off the all these drug therapies now are used in combination to try to develop a vaccine to contain the contagion and the spread however all the people who have moderate to very low sometimes the doctors actually recommend them to quarantine themselves at home and your human body can actually combat the virus itself and many people have actually made full recoveries that way also i want to move back a little bit to the trade the punitive tariffs that were kind of rolling back here amid concerns what do we need to know about that and how is that going to help the economy of china well they feel it does have already agreed upon the both china and the u. .
