who are representing his interests. times northeastern france and use that belgian in a piece of illegally dumping tons of garbage across the border. hello good evening welcome you watch in the weekly analyse international for employees of russia's sputnik news agency and he have been released after questioning the editor in chief along with 3 others were detained in ankara and istanbul on saturday this does follow nationalists trying to break into the homes of 3 sputnik employees in ankara we spoke with maksim do internet who is the head of the sputnik turkey office and he stumbled. you know. a group of about 20 people came directly to each of our employees had their residential addresses they shouted threats and accusations against them after our colleagues went to the play station to report

the incident we could not then reach them for many hours however according to the place their phones had not been taken from them right now we want to know how this crowd of nationalists found out the addresses of all our employees their names and surnames and the story did not end there today a group of police officers arrived at is down below office as well as to the editor in chief of sputnik turkey now the police are making copies very employees hard drives as i understand it our article on the turkish problems of has served as the basis for the searches given the recent events i want to say that we will now take measures to maximize the securities of the employees working in our office with more details r.t. cessna taylor spoke with neil harvey. because he has been grabbing headlines in recent days you've seen this picture of migrants flooding across its border but this is another story from there that's been slightly overlooked so in 3 journalists who work for russia's sputnik news agency in ankara have been released

now off to several hours in police custody and that's because off to questioning no reason was found to hold them for i originally they actually went to the peace of their own free will because they wanted to file a complaint about an alleged attack that they'd been victims to in that own homes on saturday and after that nothing was heard from them until now of course which understandably sparked a concern from moscow we call on the turkish authorities to intervene provide safety to the russian media and ensure that all circumstances are clarified it's also said that the editor in chief of the istanbul bureau was also detained by police and what some are calling a flagrant violation of media freedom it's now being confirmed that he too has been released and that happened he's also thought to have searched the offices of that bureau you mentioned some of the attacks in their own homes of the euro zone's sinister what details do we know about those well it's alleged that they were not

spontaneous attacks but rather a coordinated affair and that they were instigated by turkish nationalists there are some reports saying that these nationalists gathered outside the private homes of these 3 journalists some of them even allegedly broke into them and they were chanting nationalist slogans and they also according to some stories versions they allegedly accuse these employees of betraying that country because they walk for the russian news outlet but why would that be such a still a t towards these 3 wall unfortunate some in turkey are blaming russia for the deaths of dozens of tucker soldiers and in a syrian recently that's despite the fact. that i quest come out of i clearly said that we know that the russian ethel's was in no way fault it's also worth mentioning let's quickly listen to another motive that was suggested i condemned last night's threats an attempted attack against 3 turkey based sputnik journalists

outside their homes in ankara also concerned that they were reportedly detained today over an article by ozy authorities to ensure the safety of foreign correspondents. now the article in question is one in which a 939 disputed referendum in the now tucker province of a tie is discussed with some suggestion that potentially it was waged by the tux but i do want to say that that has not been confirmed or stop just as a motive for these attacks but it is briefly was just saying that this is unfortunate not the 1st time that sputnik has faced problems in a touch back in 2016 for example the news website was temporarily blocked by the country's telecom regulator as the slate of fans would of course be keeping an eye on it and see how it all plays out well turkey's not a model country regarding the treatment of its own journalists thousands have been thrown in jail. others dozens remained in exile because they

know that they too will be imprisoned if they do go back so the fact that they also do it to foreign media is not surprising the reason vienna convention regarding the attitude towards diplomats and most countries respect. and borders and better goes about for journalists. not so clear and reporters are usually working democracy of the host government and if the media cannot operate just because their country of origin is no. friction with the other country that's very worrisome and perhaps turkey has something to hide. well i think to point x. or so just to its border with turkey in a bid to prevent refugees from crossing into greece that is sizes continue to amass

in the frontier tensions have escalated over the weekend with clashes erupting between police and migrants following turkey's decision on saturday to open its doors to your. i was a little bit of. was. rolled out of the group tory who had been arrested in the. run in my mind this is really me go way over entering one country.

turkey has seen a growing sea of migrants crossing its borders after an after and chris decision to step up its intervention in the northern part of syria despite a deal reached with the e.u. in 2016 turkey now says it will no longer restrain hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers on its territory from reaching the e.u. mean more greece says it has broke some 10000 migrants from illegally crossing its borders but thousands more remain massed along it the greek government is accused to you've used in the migrant surge to pressure europe over the syrian conflict a spokesperson for atkins called the development a threat to the national security of the country the escalating situation now poses the toughest test for greece since the last 2015 financial crisis middle east analyst and i walk off believes the refugee problem or not and as long as fighting continues in syria. it was earlier than once what the turkish authorities found is

some cover for their operations immediately they want europe to become a stakeholder for the their operation say upon a long. no more refugees and crossed the border between syria and turkey that in a sense just defies for arming the likes of dribble from a strong feeling against the syrian army properly and school saluting the problem rather than solving the problem because the only way this problem is going to be solved by syria restoring its you know territorial integrity in people going back to their homes as long as there is fighting there will always be fighting as long as there is a bit of syrian land outside syrian government control as long as there is fighting there will always be refugees. but the 1st phase didn't stand as u.s. extradition case wrapped up this week the decision on whether he will be handed over or not will be reached him at

a when further hearings are showed you what the prosecution argued that a stanch knowingly put hundreds of lives at risk when he published rows of classified u.s. military files without redacted names and of the sensitive information washington claims that following those leaks in 2010 sources disappeared in iraq afghanistan and also around that we could expand resources accused of encouraging the whistleblower and army intelligence analyst chelsea manning to hack the pentagon's computer network defense team have sought however to counter those allegations buttressing their case with previously undisclosed information for example they claim the publisher actually warned the then secretary of state hillary clinton about the leaks so as to ensure the safety of the individuals whose names are paid in the documents they've also stressed that the sand his activities are protected by the principles of press freedom and his lawyers have strongly reject the assertion that the that he encouraged manning to hack the pentagon furthermore they

say that extradition would undermine their client's health during the hearing a song was held in a glass cage he was also prevented from talking to his lawyers we heard from one of the. a songe was in a grave condition before court but during the extradition proceedings that got even worse he was being held in a see through a room without any access to his lawyers 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 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. supporters have been protesting outside the

court claiming the case is a test of fundamental press freedoms in court in london and washington not to shoot the messenger. hunter got the admitted and in chose the manning straw the body had been for the release or so why aren't we discussing the harm that was released there was revealed by the releases of which is in 20102011 why aren't we here talking in court about the war crimes yes as a nation of innocent civilians by the military the slaughtering of reuters journalists. that is what we should be talking about in a courtroom in this country and in america you know you say what worries everybody here today they hear because they don't believe bank stream narrative we spoke to the politician perkasa from former british m.p. george galloway about the concerns surrounding the freedom of the press julian

assange has a friend of mine and that's not the julian assange sitting in the courtroom this man is mentally and physically sure. 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 evidence which checks out as being true of high crimes and misdemeanors by the us government or any government. including our own and then report it to the public. there would have to be either foolhardy or extremely brave because if they did so they're on a very high risk of ending up in a bullet proof box in woolwich crown for facing extradition and 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. so to come on the weekly times in northeastern france a piece that belgian neighbors of illegal dumping rubbish across the border there is tons of it we'll have a report from. you know we talk a lot on the show many years about economy and currencies and what makes a currency usually what makes a currency is scarcity for example gold is a currency it's money because it's scarce that's the primary reason people use it as money keynesian economics or socialism is usually unworkable because the people who are organizing it think that well you can just print all the money you need you need a program print more money there's socialism for banks on wall street as was pointed out recently one of the big presidential debates in

a bank gets in trouble just print more money well what's the ultimate scarce commodity what is the ultimate scarce commodity think about what is the ultimate scarce commodity. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development that only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. hello again mad tons of rubbish from belgium is being illegally dumped across the border into france in the mountains of trash have left locals fearing for their health all of the pinsky 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 red 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. their froman everything their wages. 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 trash piles and piles of it it all had signs of being from the same place we searched and found out it was from on term. and if so here's an invoice is it and. you know it says entered so guess what when the company was contacted it didn't know any knowledge of illegal waste dumping but the local resident jessica told me that since that statement the fly tipping has continued it's being described as a dumping on an industrial scale and you can see why back in redone 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 it's an acceptable people are doing this unregulated the mayor's office says the cost of cleaning this up is beyond its means you know and if you're still 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 139 metric tons now

although there are no figures yet available for 29000 it is clear that this issue is escalating the communities here are fed up of being a dumping ground for other people's waste they want more regulation and are 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 r.t. in mosul. germany has lifted a ban on the commercial sale of euthanasia but critics now i fear that the right to die will be exploited for profit peter oliver has the details. 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 college sure 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 use in asia but that advertising for the day 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 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 offerings are excluded it is perfectly normal for people who have a terminal diagnosis to feel suicide in fact some of the studies show that i have 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. living their lives rather than promoting assisted suicide newton asier services so we would be extremely worried about any commercialization all round of the process or indeed promotion that would lead to many fine reports people feeling that their lives were not worth living and actually ending them prematurely highest people here in berlin what their thoughts 'd are on the ruling

or whether this is right for germany it's not a commercial thing dying it it's something that needs care security he needs. yet professionalism i think there are certain things that you cannot put to sale to people like it's not a business you before 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 for example as advertising was actually targets people who were already having 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 this kind of fings 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 set to join in the concerns are about and that what is one of the most sensitive of subjects could be set to become a business opportunity peter all over r.t. . for years after they lost the white has to donald trump the democrats to still paranoid it seems about russian collusion and even suspect their own bernie sanders is now being targeted by the kremlin one quarter takes a closer look. 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. for how to wander to new one somebody who didn't think can 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 design 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 agent sanders gave to profit 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 1908 bernie spent his honeymoon and then 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 and the russians don't want me to be the nominee who spent a lot of money in the box on facebook and they've been taken down say biden is a bad guy they don't want biden rule in politics pick your opponent and putin and trump are picking their opponent to happiest person right now it's about one in moscow time this thing is going very well for bladder we have to promise you.

probably stay up watching us right now are you doing our rivals already know too much comrade commissar i think it's time to extract our agents. there you watch and wait to hear not say more from us in holland. the world is driven by a dream shaped by the one percent of those great. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.
