who are representing his interests. and paying to die germany's constitutional court repealed a 5 year old ban on assisted suicide services sparking fears of an exploitative trade in death. this is the weekly here on our t.v. welcome to our round up of the day's news along with the headlines that shape the week. there are fears of a new migrant crisis with almost $50000.00 people crossing into europe in one day that's after turkey opened its borders and affectively tore up an agreement with brussels under which it took charge of millions of asylum seekers in return for financial aid on the other side of the border greek police greeted the newcomers with tear gas. but it. was

the earth. below. it all follows a flare up in tensions in syria's last remaining terrorist stronghold of province turkey threatened to launch a full scale military operation there after dozens of its troops were killed and a syrian airstrike that was targeting to hottest hostilities have all but ruined turkey's deescalation agreement with russia rif a notion that takes up the story. it's maybe syria's last remaining terrorist stronghold but a blip seems to be killing the last remaining hope for peace or even a dialogue there. turkey which once committed to working with russia to clear terrorists from the area is making a u. turn yesterday i asked him what is your goal if you want to set up

a base you can set up a based support draw your troops back from where we are leave us face to face with the regime the comments came after 33 turkish soldiers were reportedly killed in a syrian airstrike on adlib according to the russian military the troops died while operating alongside terrorists and turkey failed to inform us that they were there the syrian army has every right due to regular violations of the cease fire from inside the eclipse zone to neutralize terrorists we cannot restrict the syrian army from fulfilling requirements written in the un resolution and a cry for help and car a cold and emergency meeting with nato but i made speculation that alliance could be dragged into war nothing was offered more than words of support i don't think nato forces will enter syria in support of those who've gone the problem for turkey

is the nato alliance principle is an attack on the lawn as an attack on all but the turks might be risking trying to save it in attack by one nato states brings in all the others to support it and i think there's a lot of reluctance to see new to come into a confrontation with russia so there's. a lot of powerful voices in nato who support the turks desire to see the syrian army's offensive stopped but i'm not sure they want to go beyond words and perhaps symbolic gestures so it seems. i have the gun deployed and now that tactic trying to force europe's hand. what we did is we opened up orders because you promised us assistance but you did nothing and we will not close those doors because the e.u. must keep its word just hours later crowds of migraines rushed to the frontier buy food by bus by train even risking their lives at sea.

and not all of them are from syria i'm from afghanistan where i go into greece for a better life the turkish government did right by opening the borders i have been in turkey since i was 3 i'm originally from afghanistan i want to go to greece because i want to move to europe living conditions are better there but there wasn't exactly the warmest of welcomes on all for on the other side of the border agree even used tear gas in a bid to make the new comers abandoned their dreams of a better life. most were strengthening forces on land of the sea additional police and army forces are being transferred the government is determined to do whatever is necessary to safeguard our borders. so a new wave of the refugee crisis in europe relations with russia again plunge into new lows nato losing his patients well and even more turbulence than ever before in just a matter of weeks as the guns manage to undo the progress of the last 2 years taken

the world in a direction that's the exact opposite of the peace the turkish president still promises to restore it's a serious escalation from the. turks who chose to intervene militarily directly because they were doing so by proxy by training organized i mean. terrorist groups fighting. for political reasons because the russians and the syrians didn't want to leave this region. to. the. presence. of them it's not sanctioned by the u.n. resolution and it was going to the. invasion and occupation but you. 'd did it during. the 1st phase of joining the songes u.s.

extradition case wrapped up this week the decision on whether the journalist will be handed over to the u.s. or not will be reached in may when for the hearings are to be held now the prosecution argues that knowingly put hundreds of lives at risk when he published rows of classified u.s. military files without redacting names and other sensitive information washington claims that following those leaks in 2010 sources disappeared in iraq afghanistan and iran were to leaks founder is also accused of encouraging the whistleblower and army intelligence analyst chelsea manning to hack the pentagon's computer network that was found his defense team have sought however to counter those allegations but you're seeing their case with previously undisclosed information they claim the publisher actually warned then secretary of state her. clinton about the leaks so as to ensure the safety of the individuals whose names appeared in the documents they've also stressed that activities are protected by the principles of press freedom and his lawyers have also strongly rejected the asportation that he

encouraged manning to hack the pentagon for the more they say extradition would undermine their client's health during the hearing a song was held in a glass cage and he was also prevented from talking to his lawyers we heard from one of them. well uncle said that there was a songe was in a grave condition before court but during the extradition proceedings it got even worse he was being held in a seethrough room without any access to his lawyers and while he was being delivered to this room he was handcuffed 11 times he underwent a full body search twice and went through 5 different rooms before he finally entered the court moreover a songe couldn't take part in the court process he was deprived of any kind of interaction with his lawyers but he tried to reach out to be by passing a piece of paper through a gap in the glass box he was being held in and he was told off by the guard because of that i mean this is inconceivable how can a person be in court without being able to interact or communicate with his lawyers

who are representing his interests. throughout the week julian the thunder supporters have been protesting outside the court in london claiming the case is a test of fundamental journalistic freedoms and calling on the u.k. and the u.s. not to shoot the messenger for innocent us father spoke about the week it's been for the man behind the bombshell releases. the bikini of the week so julian strip search 3 times. in cuffs 9 times put in 5 different holding cells and his call reports and court were confiscated by prison authorities ending the week as we've explained the refusal of the judge to move this the spokes into the body of the court so he can be equally as due process for 4. hero or enemy number one you decide either way judy in the song has

become a name and a face recognized all over the wild and not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death i want to do it illegally shoot the son of a and it's not a crime it's in the public interest this is what i'm saying america is not democracy i've told it's a total sham. terrorism he should be treated as an enemy combatant was her 6 own was you know you say what worries everybody here today they're here because they don't believe my dream narrative wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service the 48 year old australian put a target on his back when he leaked a truth of classified u.s. documents leong bad views of how at the very highest levels with the u.s. justice department hot on his heels and saw him sort of side him in london's ecuadorian embassy the 7 long years before suddenly and unceremoniously being

dragged out by british police. are. a stab in the back and perhaps coincidence that aquittal is bank account had just been credited with a 4200000000 dollar learn from the i.m.f. where 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 or violations seldom need to prison sentences they are generally subject only to fines assigned by contrast was sentenced in summary proceedings to 50 weeks in a maximum security prison clearly a disproportionate penalty that only a single purpose holding a sign. long enough for the u.s. to prepare the espionage case against him betrayed by 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 u.n. 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 assad could die in prison the medical situation is there or 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 6 that can be extradited the political purposes which many tame at the says and while 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 is 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 the charges in the future but if it finds a willing jury which apparently won't be a problem. assigned to 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 assigns the point is to intimidate other journalists global outcry human rights law or the right to a fat trial turns out there all week adversaries in the face of the government who

will fight tooth and nail to keep a lid on its dirty secrets julian assange has a friend of mine and that's not the julian assange sitting in the courtroom this man is mentally and physically shrunken and how could it be otherwise after a whole decade of this cruel and unusual punishment who will volunteer to be the next julian our son who will receive the evidence which checks out as being true of high crimes and misdemeanors by the us government or any government for that matter including our own. then report it to the public. though there would have to be either foolhardy or extremely brave because if they did so they run a very high risk of ending up in a bulletproof box in which grounds for facing extradition the rest of your life in

prison in the united states trust me that won't have a chilling effect on free journalism in the world it will have a killing effect. germany has lifted a ban on the commercial sale of euthanasia critics warned that the right to die will now be exploited for profit artist peter oliver takes a look. almost 5 years after it was banned the highest court in germany has ruled that blocking assisted suicide is unconstitutional and making its ruling on wednesday the constitutional court in culture is said everyone has a right to live and a right to die article 217 of the german criminal code outlawed euthanasia as well as the advertising of the services what this ruling from the constitutional court means is that that's being overturned and not only could companies offer euthanasia but that advertising that they could also stop being seeing the thinking behind

wednesday's court ruling is that this will allow those in extreme pain and suffering from terminal illnesses to end their lives on their terms however senior voices within palliative care are warning that this could perhaps only to the normalization and indeed the commodification 'd of suicide in society now the facilitation of suicide for the sick and tired of life is turning into a normal service anyone who allows you to nature will sooner or later make it compulsory to die especially in this society is economize designers knowledge of experience across all other countries shows that supply creates demand immediately following the ruling politicians are asking what situations this will be allowed in also what the commercial implications will be for companies wanting to get involved in the euthanasia business i want clear rules about when medical assistance in

particular is allowed and when commercial aphoristic are excluded it is perfectly normal for people who have a terminal diagnosis to fail suicide in fact some of the studies show that i've 80 percent go through a period of depression with some sort of sidle thoughts and so what we should be doing is trying to find ways to assist those people in getting through that period and actually. having their lives rather than promoting assisted suicide nouther nicias services so we would be extremely worried about any commercialization all round off the process or indeed promotion that would lead to many from rip off people feeling that their lives are not worth living and actually ending them prematurely highest people here in berlin what their thoughts are on the ruling of whether this is right for germany it's not a commercial thing dying it it's something that needs care security it needs. yes professionalism i think there are certain things that you cannot put

a seal to people like it's not a business you pay for yes i know want to commit suicide but i'm suffering i want to end my life you cannot do that to pay for it seems to me there was very bad incentives there if for example as advertising as i do targets people who already have a hard time it could lead to people considering suicide more strongly i don't disagree with their physician assisted suicide just because like there are certain aspects that are beneficial for it but in terms of the advertising i could go either way like a really it depends on who is in control of that promoting these kind of things for me is that a progress currently within a year of belgium the netherlands looks a book and switzerland all allow assisted dying but with germany said to joy in the concerns are about that what is one of the most sensitive of subjects could be set to become a business opportunity peter all of a see. we debated the issues raised with dr rob john care the communications

director of the world federation a right to die societies and be john tell us only from the german left party. in reality your posing. as a business issue or a business model is only on the request of the person i was going to die and they've dispersed and is not asking for it there will be euthanasia but we're talking about a very different thing here court decision was about commercial assisted suicide this isn't a louse commercial provide us to provide suicide assistance like make dots of suicides is sort of the objects tool to talking about mcdonalds giving suicide to exists and some people do not want to wait with the dying till they're finally suffering too much and they want to keep to addicted t. by deceit ruling from the constitutional court it is possible for persons to ask

a professional to give a proper medically is this a suicide and i think death is a great game this. is a democratic decision makers in parliament have continue to decide against it and the court overruling that is a dangerous precedent of non-democratic decision by this court if you talk about suicide in the media then many people that would not otherwise commit suicide do in fact commit suicide and this is why every report in the media of suicide always shows people where they can go where they can find help and the media try to minimize reports of suicide and so if we see commercial advertising we will see many people seeing that as an easy way out. residents in northeastern france are crying over fly tipping their neighbors and belgian illegally dumping trash across

the border charlotte n.c. picks up the story. this may look like part of a landfill site but it's not all of this waste has been dumped here illegally we're just a few miles from the border with belgium and luxembourg and the french town of all core mu 9 is one of many struggling to cope with what you can see mountains and to mountains of garbage that have appeared since october in nearby it's a similar story trash both household and commercial has been dumped under the cover of darkness city. at 1st we thought it was regular waste but it turns out people are illegally dumping their washing machines. they are throwing everything away. yes but here we see it's far more serious we estimate around 200 tons of waste it's enormous as far as the pollution we don't know what's inside it could be tons of

who knows what type of products. chemicals. we don't know we see cleaning products plastics but more could be hidden it didn't take long before calls track down where the waste was coming from what if we did i was looking through the trench piles and piles of it it all had signs of being from the same place we searched and found out it was from on terms. and that if there is an invoice is it. there you know it says. so there. when the company was contacted it didn't need any knowledge of illegal waste dumping but the local resident jessica told me that since that statement the fly tipping has continued it's been described as dumping on an industrial scale and you can see why back in the local fisherman's association is also

concerned. on the water source or close to this pollution so there could be a problem because it could affect our pond this is the 21st century there are designated places to put waste like this on it's an acceptable and people are doing this and regulating the mayor's office says the cost of cleaning this up is beyond its means you know and if your so on a financial level for us this is impossible to solve we have a small community of $1000.00 people it would cost the equivalent of the whole annual budget to get rid of this. a criminal investigation into this problem with cross border dumping has we know you print and customs agents have stepped up their patrols now in 2017 they reported 7 metric tons of waste like this

was illegally trafficked into france in 2018 that shot up to 130000000 metric. tons there although there are no figures yet available for $29000.00 it is clear that this issue is escalating the communities here are fed up of being a dumping ground for of the people's waste they want more regulation and a calling on the e.u. to step in to solve a problem that some believe europe's open borders are helping to facilitate charlotte do you can ski for 40. 4 years after they lost the white house to trump the democrats are still haunted by the specter of russian collusion only now they're pointing the finger at one of their own bernie sanders artist on quarter looks at whether he and the russians have been rumbled. good news comrades our agent bernie sanders is doing better than we expected in the primaries are planned to have 2 agents fight over the presidency operation hammer

and sickle is a go but we have one problem some in the democratic party establishment are becoming savvy to our strategy vladimir putin thinks donald trump should be president of the united states and that's why russia is helping bernie sanders get elected so he'll lose to trump it doesn't help that just last week western media published information about our top secret operation exposing the connection between agents trump and sanders with our center in moscow as you learned tonight and today yesterday the day before is going to have we're going to war help coming from learn to be prudent. through. war no for 102 new one somebody who didn't think could be from at least agent trump was able to follow orders i admit nothing deny everything and make counter accusations it was highly exaggerated. and frankly i think it's disgraceful and i think it was

a leak from the intelligence committee our house version and i think that they leaked it i think probably shipley good agent sanders on the other hand really dropped the ball he panicked and that is the ugliest thing they're doing is they are trying to cause chaos the trying to cause a truth in america it's an ugly business and all of us have got to say sorry you're not going to do this in the selection and again is present in the united states. you will not interfere in our elections and the order was to deny sanders deny but he broke under pressure blowing the cover of our moscow back to bernie bros i disown these people they are not part of our movement all of us remember 2016 and what we meant what we remember is efforts by russians and others to try to interfere in our election and divide us up. i'm not saying that's happening but it would not shock me the center has good reason to believe agent sanders has been compromised we're losing control over his actions and he's praising our strategic

allies too openly 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 it's only a matter of time before they discover the interview agents sanders gave to prague i mean r t what effect do you think you can have on your voters it was so close here in iowa well i just hope that people take a hard look at the real issues impacting their lives to make matters worse we may have a mole in our midst how else could the footage have been leaked remember when the comrades recruited sanders at the new year's party of 1980 bernie spent his honeymoon in there in soviet russia i mean i think you're going to go back and forth about who's more in the tank with russia it's a really hard one between barney and rob we have made too many tactical blunders as it is and western pundits are already undergoing a campaign to discredit our agent obviously we know the russians are continuing to try to choose our next president like they chose our last president the russians

don't want me to be the nominee who spent a lot of money on bots on facebook and they've been taken down say biden is a bad guy the no one biden rule in politics pick your opponent and putin and trump are picking their opponent the happiest person right now it's about one in moscow time this thing is going very well for blatter we have to promise you. probably stay up watching us right now you doing our rivals already know too much comrade commissar i think it's time to extract our agents one of bernie sanders opponents in the race for the democratic nomination joe biden has just won the primary in south carolina it's his 1st victory but attracting votes might not be biden's biggest problem. my name's joe biden i'm a democratic candidate for the united states senate look over here like regime help out is not going to buy give me a look though ok. one the

exact proudest of. is getting past getting moved to getting control of the paris climate accord on a guy that came back after a meeting with dung chow pretty. my son one of. my deceased son was attorney general united states and before that he was a federal prosecutor one of the largest offices in the country and in philadelphia . it is important that i want to grab them spoken.

there flooding a dead horse or are trying to push that dead horse back into the race across the finish line might be another way to look at it yes it does seem futile that they're trying to prop him up but he can't raise money he's putting all his hopes. on being convincing south carolina black voters that he's the next rock obama and it's just a matter of time before he fans those voters with making some horrible misstatement it's time for him to step aside. that's a recap of just some of the stories that helped shape the world these last 7 days. all the latest and up to the minute reports falls on twitter facebook.
