serious this. is a crazy. it's more freedom of the future of. journalism. of. journalists. have to be able to scrutinize the wrong to be decided whether he is indeed extradited to the u.s. he could be facing 175 years in prison for leaking documents. accusing him of hacking a u.s. government computer and leaking classified documents back in 2010 now he has an awful lot of high profile supporters worried about. showing everybody how totalitarian they really are by saying your crime is that you publish crimes american war crimes that you published america more crimes now that it's not

a crime it's in the public interest this is what i'm saying america is not democracy a tall told will share what governments want to know is total control of information and that means they don't want dissidents they want what looks like a free press so it can sort of tell nasty stories about footballers' wives and that kind of thing but it's not free at all when it comes to talking about things that matter is i think always done is provided. a safe place for information to go on i don't think he's committed a crime at all to people here it's a question all the freedom of speech journalists have spoken out and said that he's doing he's doing what other journalists do they can understand why he's in prison at the moment in belmarsh prison they seem as a hero he's already spent 70 years at the ecuadorian embassy and he also asylum wanted to avoid going to jail but now he has been arrested by the british

police breaching bail conditions his house his physical and mental health is apparently deteriorated quite badly that experts from around the world they've been condemning the u.k. handling of him mourning that song being a subject of psychological torture in jail more than 100 medics have signed a joint letter urging authorities to take action as i said many high profile supporters and they are very proud of his. courage by the people that come out and. maybe it may just be the tide is turning with you that you could. you know you say what worries everybody here today because they don't believe. they don't believe. the street level. just days after accusing russia of trying to help trying to get reelected u.s. media is now saying the kremlin it could be helping bernie sanders the democratic

candidate says his team received a tip off from unnamed sources. it was not clear what role they're going to play we were told that russia maybe other countries are going to get involved in this campaign and look here's the message to russia stay out of american elections one democratic rival billionaire michael bloomberg was quick to make a light of those claims his team posted a video with the slogan feel the burn in russian and last week the u.s. house intelligence committee was reportedly told that russia was trying to help donald trump that information also came from anonymous intelligence sources donald trump flatly dismissed of those allegations did you see that i see these phoneys these the do nothing democrats they said today that wants to be sure that trump gets elected here we go these people are crazy. meanwhile has the ridicule the

latest reports of meddling of the kremlin spokesman said he expects to see many more such claims in the run up to the election r.t. saskia taylor has a very unique opinion about the latest meddling ikea's actions dear diary 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 fear e s. . 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 most who wants to keep orange one in the white house for another flu year is and 5 unnamed people who apparently are in the loop told us so it's a sure 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 election with the hope of getting the president president reelected 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 would so panic would 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 that 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 trying fod the director of national intelligence and replaced him with a man who supports him that can't be a coincidence can it i mean that's basically trump admitting that he's a kremlin stooge and the president of the united states is now helping the president of russia help the president of the united. 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's also chimed in still a bit saw over the whole 26 didn't testify i suppose putin's pop 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 fell flat on its face but still how could anyone pick trump over that and just tick inspiring democrat candidates on offer take joe biden for example sure he's got a 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 bunny 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. an emergency budget summit has seen the blocks leaders fail

to agree on how to make up the 75000000000 euro shortfall left by briggs. or what has come out of the differences are still too large to come to an agreement unfortunately we have to suspend this summit. these divisions of we don't need britain for that they were playing out during the financial crisis a decade ago during the migration crisis we're now seeing them on budget issues. despite calls for compromise and friday's negotiations member states were not able to overcome 2 key areas of disagreement the 1st sticking point is that the blocks so called frugal 4 do not want to the e.u. budget to be higher than one percent of its gross national income those countries denmark austria sweden and of the netherlands also want to keep receiving rebates on the contributions they pay to the e.u. in addition there is no consensus as to how the 70 year budget for the 7 year

budget should be allocated political commentator ica hammer gave us his thoughts on the dispute. on the one hand it shows clearly now the division that has been only britain germany and only have one or 2 other countries that were a net payers into the system were on the on the brakes when it came to inflating the budget and so on and this and the rest was taking and the rest was the majority but germany used to have together with britain. at the top hour and this has been lost so now is there is no no limit anymore to germany and i think this is this has been secretly all over the time already but now with it really it goes away into the open and it's for everybody.

rights groups are urging a british university to suspend a police training programme it runs in bahrain staff from huddles field university who regularly travels to the country to teach a masters course in security style science to police recruits this is despite a long running allegations of torture in the gulf kingdom the director of the bahrain institute for rights and democracy says it has testimonies from 10 prisoners who say they were tortured. we opened those testimonies which came to us that from the center 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 1st hand testimony from the victims that are detailing how they were abused to me 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 were naked that during the interrogation they were blindfolded some

of them as they were raped and sexually assaulted at the radical enemy they make threats against their families and just last weekend i happened to know that 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 the un committee against torture filed a report on bahrain it highlighted rampant a prisoner abuse and the authorities failure to investigate claims meanwhile hundreds field university has refused to disclose how much it is being paid by bahrain calling it commercially sensitive information but it will give consideration to the request and respond in the coming days we've also asked the bahraini government and university to comment the rights group says it is repeatedly called 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 any

think it did the in a state 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 president of get tortured so it's extremely serious i think geishas we have extremely strong evidence and can be even but if i had within asylum seekers in britain. u.s. defense secretary marc asper has taken part in an exercise to determine how washington would respond to a russian nuclear attack in europe this according to officials the scenario included a european contingency where you were conducting a war with russia we simulated responding with a nuclear weapon. the war comes as the united states looks to upgrade its nuclear capabilities earlier this month the department of defense requested a military budget of more than $740000000000.00 for 2021 and it wants an additional $4000000000.00 for nuclear weapons a 1000 percent increase on the current level russia has responded by warning that

the u.s. is undermining global stability. we condemn such actions because firstly they clearly demonstrate washington's readiness to follow the path of confrontation and further lower the trash for using nuclear weapons. instead of focusing on efforts to strengthen the arms control system including the nuclear system the united states is playing an extremely dangerous game. peter is a historian and the director of the nuclear studies institute at american university in washington d.c. he told us that while the exercises themselves are fairly routine the find the current tensions between the u.s. and russia concerning. these kinds of war games are actually pretty common they conduct them on a regular basis. but what's different now is the climate the relation between the united states and russia are very very shaky right now over the years they've

simulated this kind of nuclear war limited nuclear war many times what usually happens is that it escalates out of control there is almost no scenario in which a limited nuclear war and this after each side sheets off one nuclear weapon the much more likely scenario is that it continues to escalate and then we're all finished. police in italy have raided the room of a top russian athlete that's very much more after a short break this is international. the world is driven by shaped by.

the day or thinks. week to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

this is art international now italian police have raided a hotel housing a team of russian athletes competing at the biograph along a world championships the search targeted alexander logan off a champion by athlete who was previously hit with a doping ban on his car was also reportedly searched the russian embassy in rome said the preliminary results of the search found no evidence of banned substance use international biathlon union has denied the raid was made at its request artie's goes on off has details. all the scandal stems from the accusations of the personal coach of the russian biathlete del xander logan of that he used a fake or somebody else's accreditation to move around the competition site now he and alexander logan 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 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 experts would analyze them and copy the files i had a matter of seconds to message my teammates and coach now apparently the measures were taken out of suspicion that kasparov reach the coach that he used a fake accreditation to bring doping to bring illegal drugs to to his athlete but when it 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 or should be taken at face value and alexander logan for instance of that whole thing happened literally hours before he was shuttled to participate in a biathlon relay which he is still doing by the way he wasn't pulled from the team also russia has sent all sorts of less says the ministry to the sports ministry is involved they are demanding an explanation. as to why such measures are being taken and apply to the russian team but one it's another nation's team in question and 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. france and germany have sharply criticized israel's plans to build thousands of new homes in occupied east jerusalem calling it a violation of international law the move was announced by prime minister netanyahu ahead of israel's 3rd national election in less than a year where connecting jerusalem connecting all parts of the united jerusalem the ruga built jerusalem it is a source of great pride and is already in use for the people of israel israel claims the whole of jerusalem as its capital and argues that it has the right to build settlements wherever it likes it has received strong support from the trumpet ministration which recently unveiled a peace plan that was widely described as an insult to the palestinians. prime minister netanyahu said that the 1st of the $5000.00 new housing units in occupied

east jerusalem will be put up for sale in the coming days palestinian officials have also reacted furiously to the move and called for international pressure on israel and a defense and political commentator amir oren believes that israel has no intention of easing the standoff. both the israelis and palestinians have a grown accustomed to such the collaboration's being really not serious enough to marry such a tension the trump peace plan it's simply off the radar it just was announced and nothing was heard about it ever since and so was another declaration by netanyahu that he was going to annex the jordan valley and the same fate is probably going. to await this particular announcement. and other news from around the world this hour clashes broke out between police and students in the colombian capital bogota on friday.

is the kaiser report remember bill black. the best way to rob a bank is to buy a bank or therefore something like that this is all going to make a lot of sense stacey well for those who don't know william k. black was a special prosecutor during the savings and loan crisis in the 1980 s. when there was widespread fraud especially there were a lot of congresspeople involved in both some of the bush family involved and he said at he put 800 bankers behind bars and that set in motion the boom times

that followed where all the all the criminals were taken off the street by wall street he said the best way to rob a bank is to own a bank because therefore you get away with crimes here is crime in this headline because many people do associate with mexico with the cartels and crime wave here curbing crime could boost mexico's economic growth says think tank cutting crime in mexico could encourage more investment leading to higher economic growth the private sector think tank said last week that is why it is indispensable to guarantee the security of the private sector center for economic studies said in his weekly report i don't get it may and i mean look at america we know at j.p. morgan we know and jamie dimon their business model is to keep $0.90 of every dollar they steal they pay $0.10 of every dollar they steal as a fine they played hundreds of millions of dollars in fines jamie diamond before

the crisis was mid level in america and now he's a billionaire from committing serial fraud and they've been you know had to face the music many many times so i don't understand why they're singling out mexico it seems like crime pays well this is a local think tank and they're looking around and wondering why is the 1st year in a decade that the economy the g.d.p. has shrank and they're saying well perhaps if we could. down on all these headlines on these stories of cartels beheading people but yeah you're mentioning that there is a crime wave that goes on in america and perhaps if we got rid of all the jamie diamond taking all the money perhaps member the velocity of money chart we showed perhaps there would be more velocity of money but just in terms of ending that crime if you end the crime if the in the violent crime on the streets you know what is there in the world except for a few system and financialization so it and we've also covered that like with boeing or union pacific all.
