coronavirus cases spike outside of china now moscow in fact thickly rejects accusations it's been waging an online dissin from ation campaign and undermining the global response to the epidemic. of every good afternoon this is art international live from a world news h.q. here in moscow with me kevin though in taking you through our top stories this monday for next half hour or so stay with me to do appreciate company here well 1st it's been a momentous day for the founder of wiki leaks during a songe whose 4 week u.s. extradition hearing is now under way we can report in london this week will be used to determine whether or not the case is politically motivated for a 2nd session begins then in may it could be then months before the judge makes a final decision if the case is ruled to be politically motivated the whistle blow could be released his father 1 meantime has claimed the case could have overarching

consequences for journalism in general. the torture of julian as witnessed by new mills of you know the nation's ready to run. all of those reports are a viable that is what will happen to german. public goods and public life if this extradition this political extradition julian the son his successor hundreds of his supporters have gathered this monday to protest against his august detention extradition rallies being held at a court in london when he dated a day when the hearing is taking place in the same sydney australia i could demick same vest a journalist and human rights activist attended a demonstration the 2 sets could take a look next at how our son just found himself closer than ever it seems to extradition. kero or enemy number one you decide either way during the

song has become a name and a face recognised all over the wild but not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the deaf i don't want to do it illegally shoot the son of a. bitch. terrorism treated as an enemy combatant. her 6. leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service by defeating the jury in the sun we just feed them or see for brights the 48 year old australian put a target on his back when he leaked a trial of classified u.s. documents lang bad uses of power at the very highest levels with the u.s. justice department hot on his heels as some sort of saddam in london's ecuadorian embassy the 7 long years before suddenly and unceremoniously being dragged out by british police.

a stab in the back perhaps coincidence that aquittal is bank account had just been credited with a 4200000000 dollar learn from the i.m.f. the u.s. has huge sway so from the 4 walls of the embassy to the 4 walls of a jail cell as someone who was taken to london's belmarsh prison and handed an exceptional sentence in britain by a violation seldom need to prison sentences they're generally subject only to finds . by contrast was sentenced in summary proceedings to 50 weeks in a marksman security prison clearly a disproportionate penalty that had only a single purpose holding asuncion long enough for the us to prepare the espionage case against him he and his lawyer had just 15 minutes to prepare for the trial which itself also just lost it 15 minutes betrayed by acquittal feeling let down by

the legal system a songe now claimed his fundamental human rights were under attack he was put in solitary confinement for up to 23 hours a day the un and rights groups were in disbelief and some feared for more than just his freedom we have real concerns on the evidence currently available that mr a staunch could die in prison the medical situation is there by urgent there is no time to lose against this backdrop is it surprising those suspicions swaddling around the extradition trial especially given the u.s. u.k. treaty clearly states no citizen can be extradited the political purposes which many tame at the says washington says this case is strictly about national security it seems queen elizabeth the 2nd didn't get the memo. i must tell you however that there's a constitutional sovereign majesty acts on the advice of him ministers and remain

strictly nonpolitical at all times this is therefore not a message in which the queen would intervene if the u.k. kowtows to its allies request as might be doubt not just a life sentence without parole but even the death penalty if washington to side step out on father charges in the future but if it finds a willing jury which apparently won't be a problem assigned will receive a trial by jury in alexandria virginia the natori is espionage course where the u.s. tries all national security cases the choice of location is not by coincidence the cases are always tried in front of the same judge behind closed doors and on the strength of classified evidence nobody has ever been acquitted in a case like that that is a prearranged affair a show trial to make an example of julian assange and the point is to intimidate other journalists global outcry human rights the law the right to a fat trial turns out there all week adversaries in the face of

a government who will fight tooth and nail to keep a lid on its dirty secrets. are appalling the un special rapporteur on top to just quoted the polls today is going underground show to the case of most to a battle for basic freedoms during the sun is not a whistle blower. he did not leak information it was illegal publish he was leaked to him so u.k. authorities here are they basically deciding on whether a show trial should go ahead absolutely that's i think this is not what it's it's about whether to soul trial should go ahead because there's not going to be nothing else than a show trial and us there's no chance it's going to get a fair trial it's not just about your innocence in this is really is the battle over press freedom over rule of law over the future i would say even the democracy . of the news today the number of coronavirus patients

located far from the deadly epicenter in china has suddenly spiked we can report italy's put emergency measures in place over the weekend with 150 reported cases and now 4 deaths it's europe's 1st major outbreak while iran has the highest number of deaths outside china with officials there raising the number now to 12 earlier this monday or back to italy authorities counseled a big carnival of venice major sporting events for perspire to his entire towns and communities were put on lockdown in asia cases of infected patients surged in south korea on monday with another $161.00 people confirmed ill taking the total there not almost 800 the government's also temporarily shut down religious movement and a cult whose members make up a sizeable number of the known infections meantime sides of all this the u.s. is now accusing russia of spreading alarm and coronavirus conspiracy theories. by spreading disinformation about coronavirus russia malign actors are once again

choosing to threaten public safety by distracting from the global health response the u.s. state department claims thousands of fake social media accounts are advancing so-called russian talking points the messages apparently label an american biological weapon being used to wage economic war on china accounts link back to russian proxies are also being accused of undermining the global response wrapping all this up as it's. coming out during the hawkins' now a correspondent for you. it's hard to find almost any modern day referendum election or protest movement but as i'm been tied in some way by government officials intelligence reports all media outlets to russian meddling it seems virus pandemics are no exception to the rule russia's intent is to sow discord and undermine u.s. institutions and alliances from within including through coercive mind influence campaigns moscow has dismissed the allegations as a deliberate smear campaign it will be hard for most of us to find out what exactly

russia is accused of the answer apparently lies in the report prepared for the state department's global engagement center strictly not for public viewing which details evidence of russia's alleged bad behavior and if one compares the charges against russia in the secretive report to what moscow has actually done you get 2 very different pictures. of. well if it's conspiracy theories u.s. officials are looking to find looking closer to home could do the job u.s. officials publicly cast doubt on official information coming out of china. later retracted allegations that the corona virus outbreak actually came from

a chinese bioweapon lab were quick to emerge stateside just a few miles away from the 3rd market is china's only bio safety level 4 super laboratory bed and researchers human infectious diseases they have lived consistently about this virus to give me a senior administration official told me that the united states does not have quote high confidence in the information coming out of china at this point the delegate show has called for all sides that take extra care with trading barbs and the chinese envoy to the u.s. has warned of the damage inaccurate information can cause the 2900. responses being accompanied by a massive info demick an overabundance of information some accurate and some not that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it so very harmful it's very dangerous to stir up suspicion rumors and spread them among the people for one thing and this will create panic friend.

racial discrimination as you know phobia well despite the warnings at least the u.s. officials can in their own way look on the bright side of the situation and take the positives from the global panic the fact is the does give businesses there yet another thing to consider when they go through their review of their supply chain so i think it will help to accelerate the return of jobs to north america this is a wake up call for an issue that has been latent for many years but is critical to u.s. economic and national security we cannot necessarily depend another country's even close elyse to supply us with needed items from facemasks to vaccines some would say u.s. officials are doing a good job of undermining their own institutions without russia's help. russia serves a very important purpose in and american politics these days rather than analyzing

its own problems and trying to figure out how they can know how they arose and how to fix them americans find it much easier to blame someone else and that target is usually russia the us just the us intelligence agencies feel that they they can only benefit if they attack russian accused russia of various malign activities but i believe i don't believe russia has any any desire or any interest in spreading this information about the coronavirus because. if you spread this information that causes that that allows the the disease to spread all the more rapidly and russia is vulnerable as well so why would russia want to burn down its own house. the israeli defense forces have said the country south of spain attacked by 6 missiles launched from gaza comes after the defense minister said the televisa had

plans to vote a clear resolve the longstanding crisis that. we're preparing a plan to fundamentally change the situation in the gaza strip i really understand the situation of the people in the south they deserve peace and security well it certainly seems as if a skeleton is on the cards we have heard from the israel defense forces home front command that all roads or schools and the train line along the israel gaza border are closed until further notice now this follows a deadly night of the tell a tree airstrikes conducted by the israeli army on several locations in northern gaza and on the syrian capital damascus now the israeli army says that these included sites belonging to the palestinian islamic jihad group and amongst them were weapons facilities and training sites it also says that 4 people were injured however we hearing from islamic jihad that 2 people have been killed and it has vowed to avenge those deaths the zionist aggression against damascus and the murder

of 2 of our members as a result of the bombing is something that must be stopped and will not go unnoticed well this is glacial comes after the american president donald trump's so-called deal of the century which was supposed to see a long lasting peace between israelis and palestinians but has been slammed as the slap of the century by the palestinians one of this coming just a week before israel holds its 3rd parliamentary election in a year the country is in a political deadlock now at the same time the americans have to recognize israeli sovereignty of the golan heights and also put in place plans for israeli an extension on the west bank all of this is being seen here by many as attempts by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to win political points. well the exchanges to the trees came out for israeli forces shot and killed a palestinian man from the islamic jihad group near the gaza perimeter fence on sunday the i.d.f. then sent an armored bulldozer across to retrieve his body of walling this is video

of it you may find it upsetting. oh. come on. young. man. according to local media reports 2 other palestinians were wounded by israeli life fire as they attempted to recover that body the i.d.f. said the man along with another alleged terrorist had been planting explosive device near the separation barrier and asked which governs the procedure gaza strip said he was an unarmed the israeli defense minister though praised his soldiers handling the situation palestinian rights advocates see some eunice told us instant showed callous disregard for palestinian life. what we have seen is very very degrading cruel and inhuman i think nothing can justify this regardless of

the kind of people or what they have done and those who all do it all but if you treat it such as should be brought to court the army on the one hand feel that it has a green light to put this is provide. critical cobar just praise such incidents which amount to war crimes because if you feel that you are above the law all. those many would provide you. with their legal or political then soldiers will continue to do we expect the israeli army to investigate this incident. started snatch live from moscow coming up the story of a woman whose fled into russia claiming her children are abused by their father is stories next. to.

the crown a virus now has proven that one. because even though all the supply lines are choked and deliveries of critical parts are not happening stocks are still stable or going higher because it's. cheap money right it's all cheap money that cheap money is is created out of nothing to create the simulation going.

get a stone and woman says she's had to flee to russia to protect her daughter she's claiming asylum after her husband was acquitted of sexually abusing the children is his story. style set up it's a bit it's my older daughter started scratching her face i would ask her how do you scratching yourself you shouldn't hurt yourself and she would reply oh mom i feel guilty about what dad did to us then we went to psychologist after several sessions she told me the girls are telling the truth about what they want to it's a classic reaction on a fin surface and has taken her 2 daughters to russia to keep them away from the norwegian father she accuses him of molesting the go something he strongly denies

according to her it started back in 2012 in norway when the girls were aged one and 2 but if the us was when our younger daughter was born he offered to be their older daughter i need something from the bathroom so iraq turn without knocking i opened the door they were not washing the way not even in the bath they were just standing there naked and i went on to describe the horrific details of that incident who is from a story nya obtained a story in passports for the girls and took them to her homeland but the husband hired a lawyer filed for custody and won the right to see the children for a week every 2 months and it was legally unable to prevent him from taking the children to norway there were by years after the 1st trips the children would come back and tell me where they'd naked with dad or where we slept naked with dad in the same bed sometimes the older one would wake up screaming for a long time i couldn't it to myself what was happening and me 2016 he once again brought the children back from a weeklong stay there i saw a very strange scene when we were saying goodbye i asked my daughter whether they

played like that when they are in norway and my youngest one said yes. after that on a went to the store and police and the criminal case was opened she says a gynecologist examined the girls and found evidence suggested will abuse the father was then arrested and charged on a visit to the psychologist who gave some advice on how to get the truth from her own daughter although that was a survey of all the psychologists said i needed to talk to her in the home environment and when she started talking it was a nightmare. she told me that her dad tickled there that it was painful but later at the trial the accused me of teaching my children what to tell the investigators and social workers despite the girl's testimony the court said there was insufficient evidence to convict your stain fencer us an idea so he was acquitted he then sued his wife and in 2018 managed to win custody of the children mr finster us and denies all the allegations against him my father was accused of doing something to authority importing old started using it as leverage but my father was

like that and i have to be like that i'm a launched a legal appeal and turned to human rights groups for help but she was unable to overturn the ruling in january this year you austin fencer austin was due to take the girls to norway. so ana decides to flee to russia taking the girls with them now being looked after a while and his asylum claim is being processed. donald trump has accused democratic party of trying to ruin the chances of one of their own head of the 2020 election the us president says congressman adam schiff is be leaking information to the media suggesting that bernie sanders is big backed by some kind of russian meddling. i think what it could be. very very very rarely and it sounds to me like a leak. from out of here because they don't want her to represent sounds like this . over again very. well shift to noise he's the anonymous intelligence source

accuses donald trump in terms of spreading false claims as to bernie sanders he's declared war on both the republicans and the democrats the vermont senate described his campaign as unstoppable and so far he looks on course to take his party nomination and the veteran politician success has not only got the political establishment worried but partly the media too. i think it's a little late to stop and i think that's the problem the game it is pretty much over a radio last night about the fall of france in the summer of 1940 and then general reno calls up churchill and says its over. sound of secured yet another emphatic victory in the state of nevada the vote count from sunday puts him a long way out in front of his 3 biggest rivals political analysts charles alltel told the sun has surged to the top is putting the democrats in their tricky position. the democratic establishment understands that democratic socialist

is never going to be president and states in the next by say 50 years he's in a unique position actually to alienate the democratic moderates and inflame trump supporters to come out and force even more so into 2020 than they did in 2016 there are stemming krauts are the weakest field i've seen in my lifetime. a sprint bids farewell to the european union one thing that i. can't wait to see is that the passport changing of the decades of e.u. burgundy is set traverse blue again in one of the most symbolic separation statements many there are pointing out the irony of where these post bricks passports are end up getting made. by returning to the economy blue and gold design the british passport bill once

again be twined with our national identity. the irony these blue passports are made in poland. the gift that keeps on giving. passports that's made in the factory frankly dutch company oh the irony the fact that this is being lauded as a big wind comes that brags that the color changes but the opportunity and potential has been restricted in this key. who will represent economic harm and limited rise in. controversial charge coming up next tell you the former head of the anti islam english defense league is here in russia on

a lectured to called the rape of britain stephen yaxley lead the new girls pulled over tommy robinson 1st came the problem as for organizing controversial demonstrations there last year he was jailed for contempt of court after harassing defend themselves other child sex abuse trial it was a case where police had with held the race of the queues over fears of inflaming racial tension robinson was part of a push to multiple child grooming gangs largely run by pakistani men in towns across england and the since been banned from almost all mainstream social media sites he was challenged by r.t. examine the latest edition of worlds apart. speaking about the topic of your talk correct me if i'm wrong it's titled the rape of britain i know that you are prone to your generalisations but isn't that too broad and hue threatening of a statement in my writing discussion to talk about islam but muslims in general know of our work how can you talk about these lawmen not talk about muslims in general as islam is an idea it's

a book it's an idea to criticize that is practiced by muslims but if i criticize christianity i'm not and so in or picking for every christian i'm picking for the ideas so when we see the rate levels that we've seen in our country and from a population muslim i would make up 2.2 percent of the british population they are responsible for 84 percent of the convictions of these talks this type of break you know i'm another muslim myself but i am married to a muslim and i know for a fact that islam imposes very strict limits on x. your marital sex not to mention rape so the victims say it's racial religious the perpetrator says racial religious religious religious the qur'an and the scripture supports and justifies the charges against simply. not true although it is true the 950 s. the british forces used rape and kissed ration to put down uprising seen kenya they paid compensation to the victims a few years back what did cast if i mean to throw around that kind of labels to anyone who is connected to the british state no it wouldn't go on not for in those

accusations that anyone connected to is you're referring to them as muslim. americans but that i don't know how is it different from the british rape is that because these men are muslims and they write this and they write can young children and their those men who are also british and there were very few them because i know everybody i have no problem with you label in those people who commit what about as british rapists or you are you don't have to tell me that i mean they really are talking about generalisations here i'm talking about islam people have to get the understanding that islam is going to harm its founder and we have a right to criticize and look at his life because when you look at his life and you see the pillaged he did he write he his and his wife sort of violence in the night in most 12 books mr i believe it or not most of them most of it i've known fees by the way but most religious people do not take their scriptures literally these days . young coach much longer version of the with examiner relate to the show but that's it for now for me kevin no no so much more on our social media naughty dot com it's

coming up to a 29 minutes post for the afternoon and most of the time it is and your part of the world to tell you between now and me coming back up around about half an hour next televised programs for you and your part of the world after the break. nuclear power plants have become a battleground in the u.s. it is our moment people are demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very. dangerous. power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limit this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of

a traditional participatory democracy as are power lie with the people this demonstrates that struggle in very real ways a struggle. now imagine or times you're going underground as a landmark freedom of speech case in a london court could decide whether nature nation journalists and their editors have to be arrested all around the world coming up on the show the united nations special rapporteur on torture and detention tells us about dirty tricks by british authorities against the world's most famous publisher julian assange revealed u.s. u.k. war crimes to the world as the persecuted wiki leaks founder fights extradition to a secret court in donald trump's usa and amongst the billions on earth helped by.
