look at the legacy of his 30 years in power. thanks for joining us tonight on our international daniel hawkins welcome to program. this tuesday was the 2nd day of. his hearing on extradition to the united states where the whistleblower was wanted on espionage on hacking charges if handed over he faces 175 years in prison potentially for his role in the publication of classified intelligence data and do a tutor has the latest. day to willage crown court and we have the song cheering supporters happy night in full force again we can hear them chanting throughout the proceedings now we had the defense talking today talking about why these allegations should be thrown out of course they talked about mr manning's

involvement in the release of the 200-200-6200 extension 7 iraq doctor documents the iraqi diaries and obviously the release of the collateral murder video saying that she felt that her conscience required her to release those documents. julian assange as she was handcuffed 11 times prior to the course of these hearings stripped naked twice and his case files calmly skated after the 1st day of his extradition hearing according to his lawyers that's been told and they complained of interference and his ability to take part but of course the court has said that they can't intervene in this so we will have to see whether the prison authorities do actually come forward and answer those questions as to why that happened now we did manage to talk to former british diplomats and whistleblower craig murray i know julian reasonably well the. very obvious evidence of his mental and physical

deterioration which is how. people. i was when i was in college you can find many. many months in solitary years a little more contact not allowing contact this was not allowing his papers stealing all these papers not allowing him a computer. for the united nations special of tortures or. the psychological torture that i have no i don't know what i see the person i know i couldn't i can feel. suffering the effects of torture i have no doubt about that in my mind at all why i think it's entirely political but. for those. interesting thing of all thing up with that. struck every single observer i've spoken to is just how amazingly hostile openly hostile the magistrate is to everything the defense says also jess. and. plainly the entire these are

for the prosecution in the 1st place. is purely in the united states and the evidence of america's war crimes and corruption with which we can be exposed. with we've finally got to position wherever there's oprah that we're playing out in court i think anybody who believes this is a genuinely independent political process is very naive indeed. for the prosecution has argued a science knowingly put hundreds of lies at risk when he published tros of classified u.s. military data without redacting names and other sensitive information and washington claims that following those leaks and 2010 sources disappeared in iraq afghanistan and iran now that we can leaks founders also accused of causing the whistleblower an army intelligence analyst chelsea manning to hack the pentagon's computer network songes defense team have sought to counter all those allegations they've buttresses their case with previously undisclosed information now they claim the publisher actually warned the then secretary of state hillary clinton

about those leaks to ensure the safety of the individuals whose names appeared in the documents they've also stressed the signs that it was these are protected by the principles of press freedom whose lawyers are also saying they strongly reject the assertion that he encouraged chelsea manning to hack the pentagon and they're saying her own testimony disproves that allegation and furthermore they say extradition would undermine their client's health and that prison conditions in the u.s. can be inhuman and degrading ok you know and spoke earlier to we could fix editor and chief about the proceedings. what's happened today and what you make of the arguments for julie songes extradition presented so far yesterday we heard very shallow and hollow arguments from the us. that have since that yesterday afternoon and especially this morning been torn apart by the lawyers of julian our science they are basically present thing to the judge that she has to take into consideration that the extradition request is based on fabrication and it can

easily be proved by publicly available information cheerio that is available to you in the states so the abuse here is that the english court is being misled by americans they are trying to abuse the process of exhibition does it feel like when you walk in does it feel extremely heavy almost what it feel like the conditions at the court hearing here are totally inadequate for a hearing of the officer importance julian is in the dock behind bulletproof glass he has indicated often that he has a hard time hearing what's going on in the room it's a rather small courtroom and as i said very small space for the public a very small space for the media and this is. somewhat not what i expected for a very important to hearing you think you'd ever get a fair trial in the u.s.

my primary concern is will you get a fair trial here the u.k. it's important that the outcome here is just and it's monitored every abuse is highlighted on a day to day with a basis. which is 4 time olympic champion and top insurance one among fire is facing fresh media scrutiny of a claims he repeatedly lied to us doping officials about his alleged use of a controversial supplement and. has the details this summer the whole of great britain will be glued to their screens rooting for the nation's prize athlete for time. champion run out more or will they and you panorama documentary by the b.b.c. has cost further doubt on whether more success was cleanly won don't fall back to salazar who could serve more to. choose what to do when at all costs the main sticking point is the role of former coach alberto salazar who was banned in october 29th for 4 years from any sports activities he was the head of the

controversial nike oregon project until the u.s. anti-doping agency suspected he may have banned the doping rules one of those substances he used was l. carnitine designed to speed up muscle and heart recovery for athletes it's considered legal indows this which did not exceed 50 millimeters over 6 hours salazar however reportedly invented a new method of administering l. carnitine through intravenous injections which itself sparked questions from u.s. anti-doping authorities it hasn't been secret that more have had injections of the substance prior to the london marathon in 2014 but the new documentary opens a fresh can of worms namely about the relationship between salazar and u.k. athletics mead barry head of long distance running it still employed by the organization in 2014 he reportedly flew to switzerland to obtain the karni team in a form which could not have been acquired in the u.k. he did not document this trip even though he had to he's called the u.k.

athletics dr rob chakravarty reportedly administered the injections to more and yet he didn't report it either even though it is against the rules to prevent he later said he simply forgot to do that over working and travelling better than usual occurrence this is very specific medicine was required a source of great difficulty given against the initial advice of the dogs being the word he said he recalls of it and there were dishonesty quite aggressive but the even more bizarre case of forgetfulness occurred with more himself when usada investigators came to question him 1st he staunchly denied that he used l. carnitine left the interrogation but then came back and changed his account having spoken to barry fudge. i remember taking an injection search all i just wanted to come clean sorry go and i did take it at the time and i thought i didn't usual comes back for me but at the time i didn't remember more farrah's

lawyer says the athlete just didn't get the question now having seen the documentary the u.k. anti-doping agency's c.e.o. nicole sapp said said the agency was ready to cooperate and even called usada is investigation robust we thank the panorama team for their efforts the program is another example of the importance of investigative journalism regards and integrity matters in sports u.k. antidoping agency supported the u.s. anti-doping agency with their investigation into the nike oregon project we believe the u.s. and to do in agencies investigation was extensive and robust but just a month ago the u.k. openly refused to hand over more all to doping probes to usada for retesting now there's no word whether this these new revelations would lead to the much sought retesting of ferrous probes because who knows what kind of further controversies

surrounding the pride of britain sport such a move would uncover after this latest panorama bombshell we asked a sociologist and former sports lecturer is cashmore and swimming coach marcher hendricks for their thoughts on the scandal. i'm sorry i just don't buy the fact that some will or some people could be so forgetful if someone injects a substance into you you don't forget you can just walk away and say no they didn't do it and then sometime later say oh i forgot it happened it keeps a now this is all through pleated over the last 24 hours we did nothing that wasn't compliant with water protocols you know if there's alcohol nitty is ok if administered in the right dosage years but they're also saying it may not be within the spirit of sport what does that mean you know this to me is it is so a very legal or is it there's no 2 ways about it and it has been a violation of

a while because then i'm afraid u.k. athletics has to be brought to justice so i sing that's all a little bit funny what happened now and this time in the u.k. . at 1st more far set i don't take. and suddenly it seems he has he taken it and the u.k. as leading us to say should chief medical officer says it was legal and nothing was documented it's for me or a big lie sometimes i wonder if. it's or a doctor saying that people are stupid imagine the same thing happened in the russian this time would be blocked again for the next or another 4 or 4 years but the same like knowledge in the u.k. is a small scene. 3 days of mourning have been announced an egypt after its former president

hosni mubarak died on tuesday at the age of 91 virus there but the country's 4th head of state of mourning for 30 years before he was the posed during the arab spring protests that erupted in cairo in early 2011. report. cosima barak leaves behind a mixed legacy on the one hand he is credited with turning the egyptian economy into a market one and also mediating in a number of middle east conflicts ensuring also that the israeli egyptian peace treaty that was signed in 1999 remained in place but on the other hand he came to symbolize everything that people thought was wrong with egypt widespread corruption economic stagnation and political repression and now he came to power after the assassination of anwar sadat he saw that us as a nation up close and he spent much of his nearly 3 decades in power making sure that islamic extremists would never come to power and that a police state would ensue now we felt some of that heavy handedness when i

reported from tahrir square in the early part of 2011 myself and the other journalists often felt the brunt of tear gas that was sprayed at us and this sometimes 1000000 protesters who came out to the streets at the same time i would often have a laser beam shining into my face i remember asking some of the protesters what they felt would be the legacy of mubarak and they say that he had managed to unite egyptians ironically unite them against his own leadership it was just it was 6 people in the last town square as you can see heating oil and occupation i people's voices here are louder but they're being drawn down by 16 is that mig 21 is trying to hit the bar it is not going down without a fine small bridge was forced to resign and that resignation was welcomed by washington despite the fact that for the better part of 3 decades he had been

a close ally of the united states interesting lee in 2011 in the year that he was signed washington gave something like more than $1000000000.00 in military aid to egypt now mubarak was replaced by morsi of the muslim brotherhood who proved to be one popular and leave. egypt in a situation that was even more unstable than it had been before. we have heard from the current president. he said that mubarak was a military leader and a war hero and 3 days of mourning has been declared in the country. dog which is

the political editor of the middle east magazine issue with us his recollections of meeting. i don't do them several times and you know as a good really good sense of humor when i interview them have my panama hat that says oh i like you have eyes that i would love to see it fogged ocean your chin were meaning it's yours i'm afraid your excellency's it is too big to fit you know he was really relaxed with his of your recent dogs when i said to him who is big headed to a man to fit him he said that's a very of it would have you actually considered selling jaw at cafes and bars of the 2nd period as so i stood well least one to mr president there is copyrighted you can't use it so anyway so he can't actually there's a horse and. he was quite relaxed about it and he also let

society be modernized and the other nazi and allowed his nomic evangelists on t.v. and passed through islamist laws he tried to a major state abir more islamic then there's the mess he's actually fighting and that actually led to islamization as your chance to society making who like daraa in afghanistan and the way for the muslim brotherhood took up. the world health organization is warning of a potential pandemic with the deadly new coronavirus now having been detected in more than 30 countries in europe croatia switzerland and austria have reported their 1st cases of covered 19 and a hotel montana reef is on lockdown after a guest there tested positive. this is a time for all countries communities families and individuals to focus on preparing. we do not believe in

a binary black and white world it's not either or we must focus on containment why do we everything we can to prepare for a potential pandemic well the european commission has said the e.u. member states are free to introduce stricter border controls if that is the worst hit country so far on the continent with 10 people there having died of the virus your authority is in roma scrambling to contain the spread of the infection. going to.

the greek foreign minister has announced the government's new policy aimed at protecting refugees highlighting the country has long been on the front lines of the modern crisis greece continues to deal with the largest flows of migrants and refugees since the 2nd world war we are among the 4 e.u. member states with the highest number of asylum applications despite the disproportionate burden we have saved thousands of lives in the sea. that came just as violence broke out between police and protesters on the greek islands of lesbos and 2 years on monday continuing the next day hundreds of residents were tending to stop the author of his from building a new camp for migrants. who

were. it's almost like war. i don't want to sound crying from the morning i don't know what to think this is democracy and for this is democracy is that if this is democracy then i don't know what to say i don't know what to say shame shame on the government shame on everyone it's disgusting it's betrayed you and acceptable for what the way the government has acted towards us and they would be treating us like we're enemy it's islet it's i'm going to take you to belongs to the islanders this country was based on democracy and the oil they have done is create inhumanity for

all for the refugees and for the residents of the island and there is a growing discontent among the islanders among over the presence of the moderates who are living in makeshift camps locals of hewitt's that the number of refugees is increasing at the same time living conditions are still far from normal for example more or less force was originally designed to accommodate around $3000.00 refugees the number is now almost 7 times higher. last year 74000 refugees arrived in greece with more than half that number still living in camps this year the country predicts a staggering 100000 the saddam seekers to reach its soil and if petrus arguers says this issue ation could get even worse with more e.u. support. regarding the present situation as it is i'm going to be going to classes between. the local people and the migrants the islanders do not want to be expelled from where on. staying so far and just protests that things can

get pretty worse in the some of the silence of the come condition is a dreadful so it's only logical the crime will increase if you doesn't. come. on the front scene then. do. program in greece european union program and just as a program of just one country we'll be in big big trouble. the front runner for the us democratic party's 2020 presidential nomination has provoked by. defending literacy programs in fidel castro's cuba he self-styled socialist remarks were initially made in a c.b.s. interview in which he also stressed that he condemns all forms of all thought here as i'm. very opposed to believe or 3rd period nature of cuba but you know you could it's unfair to simply say everything has met you know when fidel castro came into

office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program it's not a bad think. senator sanders comments on fidel castro are ill informed and insulting to thousands of for radians castro was a murderous dictator who oppress his own people his literacy program was an altruistic it was a cynical afeard to spread is dangerous philosophy and consolidate power after 4 years of looking on in horror as drawn cozied up to dictate is we need a brother didn't who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights a brode we can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this fidel castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people but is sure bernie let's talk about his literacy program the campaign team of bernie sanders rival mike bloomberg

was quick to try and capitalize on the divisive comments posted a series of satirical tweets with the hash tag bernie on best sports imagining the vermont senator lavishing praise on a number of tyrants and perceived stronger however later deleted them after facing criticism we discuss the story with some more guests to get their reaction. the sanders to me shows his integrity here look he's been saying this for years that there's videotapes of him saying these things about cuba and fidel castro in the soviet union i mean how can he backtrack on those things honestly you know he's just you know reaffirming ideas that he has had for many years the concern is not him saying good things about the literacy program it's i said it thing that mussolini got the trains to run on time that was not what it is that people associated with what mussolini did it happened to be the case but he was a murderous dictator as was castro spineless democratic stablish men shows their

true colors it's like a litmus test every time you can say one positive word about cuba or a one word in defense of venezuelan sovereignty they want to make sure there's no critique peerless critique of the u.s. foreign policy establishment so this is a very sophisticated form of censorship to try to narrow the perimeter is as we have more and more debates within the democratic party coming up we have a democratic nominee who is tipping his hat to castro the murderer for having a literacy program so it's not just a question of steps or ship or narrowing things it's making 100 percent sure we have a nominee who is electable and the concern is one to the public realizes what bernie sanders has said in the past he's an unreconstructed socialist and the united states that generally not a calling card the unofficial religion of the united states is in its eye communism

and we just have to listen to richard's previous comments but see here some of the anti-communism but the truth is that the youth of this country in the multinational working class who supported bernie in nevada 46 percent of the votes that he won in nevada they're not socialists they understand who the true. the enemy is the enemy is not venezuela or cuba or china it's the 1000000000 is right here in the pentagon in the white house the former. mayor of new york city michael bloomberg and on wall street i will quote george w. bush who said we judge other countries by the worst of their actions we judge our own country by the best of our intentions and i think that's true you can look at a country like cuba and yes you can learn about literacy programs that work health care programs that work and we should be able to do that in a rational way again especially when you look at the fact that people like president trump and president obama before him and numerous presidents before them

partnered with murderous regimes like saudi arabia which now is being funded by the u.s. in its war against yemen which is threatening to kill millions of people and yet that isn't something that isn't being discussed. this year marks 75 years since the allied victory over fascism in the 2nd world war in a special series on he's telling the stories of veterans from all across the world a decorated french soldier who told us about his experience on the front line and he wants to hear your family stories too. we're going to we're going to force a book on you plus each other. you tube if you don't know me. go here move broader me known.

nuclear become a battleground in the u.s. in vermont people love demanding the shutdown of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits 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 is or powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways our struggle.
