when i get out on the fines are you going to take. this in hopefully bless her. just her midnight early friday morning here in moscow in the headlines this morning former army intelligence analyst and whistleblower chelsea in london hospital after attempting suicide in jail she'd been refusing to testify further in the u.s. government's whitley probe. elsewhere either leaders of president donald trump decision to suspend all air travel to the u.s. from 26 european countries stressing that the coronavirus pandemic requires a coordinated international response. at the same time as europe struggles to find a common approach to tackle the virus outbreak which it's really confirming tonight over 15000 people infected we speak to one emergency room doctor about the challenges he's facing on the very front line of it all. to it it's clear that if

the community doesn't follow the restrictions the numbers continue to rise in a certain point our ability to help people who reach its limit. coming up to experiments with explosives in britain could be lawful after the supreme court has cleared a man of terror related charges we discussed that ruling that. it was just experimentation it was just learning as the supreme court said you know self learning i have to disagree you know we were talking about an individual in a shared with explosive being he was also make initiators and detonators. by their good morning so put him to talk but over the next 25 minutes or so this is out international live with me kevin owen here in moscow at our world news h.q. mr adie with the news in from the u.s. earlier imprisoned a u.s. army whistleblower chelsea manning was recovering in hospital after attempting

suicide in jail she was jus to appear in court earlier rather later today that's friday we're talking money has been imprisoned since may for a few to testify against wiki leaks before a grand jury earlier saskia taylor got more on the developments from across ponit. but it was allegedly a very very close run thing because the gods when they found her she was hanging by a sheet in her cell unresponsive unconscious and blue already blue they got their entire unfortunately the they took her down administered 1st aid she was still breathing they rushed her to the hospital and everything is now 5 there is no danger to her health she she's responsive she's talking to her lawyers and unfortunately for jews who appear in court tomorrow a day after you know a near death experience ms manning is still scheduled to appear on friday for a previously calendared hearing she remains unwavering in her refusal to

participate in a secret grand jury process that she sees as highly susceptible to abuse her actions today evidence the strength of her convictions as well as the profound harm she continues to suffer as a result of her civil confinement simmered just talk us through what happened what led to this moment has sentence initially which is many years over a decade was commuted by barack obama said 7 years so chelsea manning was jailed back in 2010 for providing we can leaks for leaking to wiki leaks thousands hundreds of thousands of classified documents from the pentagon.

give us a bit of a box story i mean what has landed mining behind bars again well over the last she has been a seesaw for chelsea manning a very unpleasant one so last year she was ordered to testify before a grand jury a grand jury is a panel of citizens who have been called by the state to investigate whether a crime has been committed and more to do about it whether to prosecute or whether the let it go and the court ordered chelsea manning to testify before this parable about her ties to julian assange and wiki leaks about the documents that she had

handed over in 2010 something that she says she has already done so she said to the judge no i will do it this is you know this is the government abusing the law in order to go off the whistle blows to go off the journalists to muzzle them to shut them up which is something that chelsea manning doesn't want to do she further says that this is a she has already testified she has said what she had to say earlier on attempting to chorus me with a grand jury subpoena is not going to work. i will not cooperate with this or any other grand jury the questions are the same questions that i was asked before the court martial in my. 78 years ago i think there's nothing new there's nothing not asking anything new they're out there there's no new information that they're trying to get from me in fact that the questions are very much the the same things that i've gone over the judge didn't like that at all so he ordered her to be

indefinitely detained incarcerated behind bars until she talks she was led to for a few months then ordered back to prison until she talked furthermore 5 as well progressively larger fired every day at this point she's been fined a $1000.00 for standing by her principles said. and you talked there about how it's been a kind of tough a few years back not probably an understatement i mean we know she spent such a long time in jail 7 years before then back again in march 29th i mean have human rights reacted to their son and what what has been the reaction of those there's been all sorts of reaction from from of variety of organizations from rights groups from journalists unions and many organizations have come out and said what is happening is simply unacceptable the u.n. says that what the united states is doing keeping her president and she says what's

the what they want to hear is essentially torture continued detention of manning is not a lawful sanction but an open ended progressively severe coercive measure remembering to torture and should be discontinued and abolished without delay the practice of coercive depreciation of liberty for civil contempt involves the intentional infliction of progressively severe mental and emotional suffering for the purposes of coercion and intimidation and the order of judicial authorities obviously she tried to kill herself so the pressure must be getting to her and you know no matter how no matter how strong someone is how how how set by their principles they are incarceration in these huge winds and the pressure it all builds up. your correspondent there we spoke to with lawyer activist kevin zeese who believes the whistleblower will never give in to pressure from u.s. officials. well this whole case is an injustice and a violation of her basic human rights the secret grand jury system in the united

states is very unfair it only allows the prosecutor in the room with the jurors no defense lawyer no defendant only hear one side of the story that's what manning is protesting so i know her and she's a very strong person but obviously it's a lot of pressure but i think she's more likely go out of that gel dead than testifying she is not going to change your opinion she's made that clear and that's why this friday the judge should end this injustice and release or this is a violation of u.s. law by laser a national law and he has to come to an end really signals where the trouble is going when it comes to julian a songe wiki leaks they already have an indictment against julius onj they are not supposed to use the grand jury for the purpose of gathering evidence to prove that indictment but it shows to me that the government is not very confident about the evidence they have or about that indictment they want more. sharply

criticized president trump's decision to suspend most travel from europe for 30 days in response to the worsening coronavirus crisis brooks leaders on thursday defended the measures that they've taken to tackle the pandemic and stressed the need for international coordination reporting from berlin peter all of an egg. but with the world split over the best way to try and deal with the coronavirus that continues to spread what we're seeing is a spotter merging between your leadership and the u.s. president donald trump this is after the president announced a. travel for foreign nationals from within the zone in europe to the united states apparently in a move he made well without consulting his allies on this side of the atlantic the president though says it was necessary to keep new creations from entering the sures we will be suspending all travel from europe to the united states for the

next 30 days the new rules will go into effect friday had made no need to coronavirus is a global crisis not limited to any continent and it requires cooperation rather than unilateral action the european union disapproves of the fact that the u.s. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation with donald trump to ban comes after the world health organization declared coronavirus to be a global pandemic but the more you look at it the more it seems well pretty arbitrary really those nations that involves of the $26.00 that make up the shingle and so it doesn't include the united kingdom it doesn't include ireland there's absolutely nothing to stop somebody say flying from here where i am in berlin over to london and then on to the united states saying somebody can fly from paris to dublin then on to the united states then when you look at exactly who it involves

it only involves foreign nationals so u.s. citizens and those with permanent residence can still travel from these countries also those married to u.s. citizens or permanent residence the parents or guardians of u.s. citizens or permanent residents under the age of $21.00 the same goes for siblings of those that fit that criteria plane crews all. ship crews as well arriving in the us they're not covered nor on the embers of foreign governments it does seem incredibly convoluted it does seem like it's going to be a bit of a nightmare to enforce if it's actually even enforceable bought the news that it was announced that's hit the european economy pretty hard we've seen the markets tumble with stocks fall to their lowest in the last 4 years but while e.u. leaders are increasingly unhappy with the actions taken by the us president there's also infighting within the e.u. over the best way to handle coronavirus and also how to handle those member states

hardest hit by this virus concert over the coronavirus is running at fever pitch in the year right now it's now caught up in the coronavirus panic sweeping the major concepts and sports events could well be canceled in an effort to stop the spread of the corona virus so i think it's a very it's a business that productivity but also limiting travel tourism and large public events new cases reported in europe a huge spike in cases like italy on the last sweeping quarantine order of the population italy could be justified in promoting a lack of unity from their neighbors earlier this week the italians pleaded with brussels for more help rome should not be left out of this crisis alone this is a crisis that requires a global 1st and foremost a european response we are thankful to the european commission for its positive engagement but it's time now for the e.u. to go beyond engagement and consultations with emergency actions that are quick

concrete and effective while the european commission announced a multi-billion euro aid package for member states to help them deal with the crisis there was no specific date for italy announced leaving the hardest hit in europe to rely on the hardest hit in the world for the 8. sorely need not forget that italy supported china during the most difficult times of fighting the potomac now we also want to stand by the italian people although china still has a large demand for medical supplies we will step up our efforts to export urgently needed materials and equipment to eataly literally told us of protective clothing face masks and gloves and all important lifesaving ventilators from china are expected to be in italy by the weekend meanwhile the e.u. nations can't decide what to do with italy with some fencing themselves off from

that beleaguered neighbor if we focus what we don't want things to get out of proportion as you fly because it needs to be useful and because this is only the beginning of the epidemic and if we take disproportionate measures they will be unsustainable in the long run and there's counterproductive i sincerely believe that these are bad decisions european carbonation is much more efficient efforts that confinement postcodes are more efficient measures requiring patients to be responsible and stay home quarantine measures are much more efficient. and if you're expecting that powerhouse of european politics of merkel to bring some karma to the current situation you'd be disappointed the german chancellor is expecting things to get worse before they get better but a muslim 1st in the us if you will start we have to understand that the population have no need to the virus there is no vaccine so far now treatment experts say about 60 to 70 percent of people in germany are likely to be in fact it if the

virus continues spreading. but of course more people will die here too perhaps recognising the disjointed response from the european union the chancellor also called for solidarity and unity between the member states but members were left only impressed i don't want to comment on the city. in germany although i believe that such statements rather cause panic in any case we have adopted strong measures for such worst case scenarios to be out of the question with the coronavirus in trenching itself in europe so it seems is deficient in how to tackle it peter all of r.t. . on the virus crisis is deepening in italy over 15000 have now been diagnosed with coded 19 with the death toll from the virus over a 1000 our team want to merge and see room doctor to learn more about the difficult difficulties facing medics there on the very front line of all this.

time not just for the night was very exhausting just like all nights over the past 2 weeks around here we saw dozens and dozens of people of varying ages that arrive at our emergency room with corona virus like the ammonia. to it it's clear that if the community doesn't follow the restrictions the numbers continue to rise at a certain point our ability to help people who reach its limit. ringback approximately 40 patients that are waiting to be admitted will be the same problem

which is coronavirus like you know. whether he said this morning in an unprecedented move britain supreme court has found that experiments in with explosives can be legal so for a man was cleared of terror related charges. 22 year old chairs copeland was diagnosed with autism unarrested in 2018 after making homemade bombs and conducting experimental explosions in his backyard he was initially charged with 6 counts of possessing information likely to be useful for an act of terrorism copeland was earlier handed a 22 month prison sentence but has now been cleared of the more serious terror charges as a matter of law personal experimentation and self education are lawful objects we talked about the ruling a bit more than with david low a former police officer and senior law research and human rights lawyer sure can. obviously every case is different and we have to look at the facts of each case and

this case the explosive substance that this 22 year old at that time perhaps even younger had made in in the unit in the garden shed in his house was just less than 10 grams of that substance my main question is why would anyone want to have explosives in the 1st place you know i look at it from from the aspect of terrorism this country in the u.k. faces a terrorist threat from 3 fronts there's a missed the extreme far right the neo nazis and the lessons they would have given this defense of experimentation and and education but i think this over use and over expansion expansion of terror offenses i think this is a good at least a good 1st step to say that no not everything where you see explosives or where you see something we don't quite understand what that person is doing or what their motives are it doesn't mean that they're they should be treated as a terrorist suspect the fact is that you know terrorism legislation has to be why when you're investigating you want to prevent with the small plate you want to

prevent an attack from happening just because someone has in their possession you know any amount of any explosive substance doesn't mean that they should be guilty of a criminal offense or a tariff fans because of his condition he might have had you know it does cause a person to become antisocial perhaps he was withdrawn perhaps he was an introvert he was unable to join the army as he wanted to because of this condition you know it was just experimentation it was just learning as the supreme court said you know self learning i mean if anything perhaps it's a benefit but i don't see any harm that came from it i have to disagree you know we were talking about an individual in a shared with explosive when he was also make initiators and detonators and i want to know why would anybody just want to have explosives on their own property because there's no legitimate reason it's like with firearms mobley thought issues in the past we've introduced legislation to protect the use of firearms we know why he was doing what he was doing now of the. then on the case where someone's trying

to hide it we're not quite sure of someone's motives then they would question uninvestigated in different way but the whole point is that it can be an innocent pursuit it can be an innocent hobby it can be just for self learning as that is not impossible to me is the legal point of the fact that you have these explosives and ok that could be a defense but with the 2 dissenting judges you need to lawful purpose and that's what they said and i agree with them thanks to the race for the white test us democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders says he'll continue campaigning despite a fresh loss in the primaries to rival joe biden they're going to go head to head in the next t.v. debate on sunday. donald trump must be defeated and i will do everything in my power to make that happens on sunday night in the 1st one on one debate of this campaign the american people will have the opportunity to see which candidate is best positioned to accomplish that goal so send his losses being partly blamed on

his own target voters many of whom believe their voices are no longer being heard kitted maupin's across it. the last day of democratic primary voting did not go too well for bernie sanders and now many voices are calling for him to drop out of the race and clear the road for joe biden however sander says he is not willing to give up just yet now sanders says his campaign actually has the upper hand over his rival when it comes to the youth but it is not just behind your larger goal. is. we need the generational. one or 2 in the future you need to. preserve the future oh country now the polls confirm what bernie sanders says young people

like him more than they like joe biden and one of the goals of the bernie sanders campaign is to get them more involved in the electoral process but it's not as easy as it sounds how we've been as successful as i would hope in brigham young people and the answer is no but why young people aged 20 to 35 approximately adds up to roughly 60 sand 1000000 people if they all signed up to vote sanders would have quite the edge but they haven't done that turnout among younger voters remains comparatively low some blame the procedure for registering to vote for the 1st time for students who are going to school in another state registering to vote can get quite complicated some said that the electoral college and the party primary process is very confusing and complicated and the quality of education on civic matters is quite low we decided to talk to some younger people here in new york city and find out why the numbers of young people going out to vote is so low did you vote in the last election now ok do you plan to vote in the upcoming primary

vote maybe. navy better believe it why might you not vote. it just doesn't make sense that the public's opinion doesn't even matter when it comes to a presidential election now why do you think a lot of young americans don't vote. cause it doesn't make any sense to pose the most the defense of the. people sometimes the lines are really long but. not as long as adults knew that's what younger people just either don't think it's important as are so many people in voting or they just. i don't know actually i can tell you why i feel like a lot of them probably think that their vote doesn't make a difference so he's as what i hear from a lot of my friends who can't vote so that's probably the devil is what happened last election as well i don't think they feel that their voices heard it is one of the reasons that i don't think that they really understand what a difference it makes in our democracy today are you going to vote for sanders or biden. sanders like to keep that to myself i guess i like both of them i'd go

so to. biden i think as i stand right now is leaning more toward sanders now the sanders campaign has been reaching out to younger voters with catchy slogans and internet memes some say this could hurt him with older voters who don't like the resentful tone or radicalism coming from the sanders campaign on the other hand it's the younger generation struggling with historic levels of debt and lack of health care who have the most to gain or lose you know there are so many factors involved with young voters that are unique to that demographic line is that often. maybe their 1st time voting so registration and voter id laws that number of factors that can influence turnout such as the fact that they might have classes. voting days its own typically skewed to turnout for young voters to be lower in the united states you have to go through a few hoops to be able to vote. you know most people consider those hoops to be in

place to depress turnout overall we have election days are working days so that means working class voters students who have classes to go to people who have mobility challenges to get to the polling places maybe because of on places really far from their home all of those voters are going to turn out at a lower rate which is basically voting is harder for that. so well bernie sanders looks to keep himself in the race to take on donald trump in november so far at least supporters of one of his former rivals been reflecting on a short lived run for their favorite candidate they've been getting inventive with tatoos of elizabeth warren's campaign slogan seems the designs have been causing some offense checked herself.

i. think. if you're thinking of getting a holocaust style tattoo you know on or off your favorite politician please don't. look like the world whatever my grandparents had concentration camps to send their arms and it just seems insane that they would think if it weren't supporters branding sales of holocaust and crypto fascist imagery is not the turn i expected but in retrospect post-modern world system is collapsing so. thanks to all who called me on this i didn't want to evoke for me client of the

holocaust so i apologize for missing the mark. and you all i'm sorry as well and will be making modifications i would recommend for fall short of thinking of a similar to to please look filter so you can look at it from 2 perspectives the answer is on 1st level no you shouldn't be you should not be spared because of ignorance on the other hand we need to come to grips with the fact also that we're in an age where the last of the survivors are beginning to die off and so unless the capital perpetrators have also die and to a young person it's very hard if they haven't start steeped in it to really understand the meaning of it and we need. understand that there have to accept the fact that some really don't get it at this point it's an historic event that's beginning to fade into a storage memories and we need to find ways of making it real to these people so i

don't think they can be totally forgiven on the other hand we need to keep in mind the fact that you know we do as a generation that is beginning to not to know what this was all the balance and we need to find the right the right balance but obviously. no one should be doing things like that leave it out full for now you can follow so many of the other stories that r.t. dot com or various social media here bosco it's just a little after 28 minutes past midnight it's early friday morning it's kevin i would say back in just over half an hour big thanks for watching and stop by for the next programs in your part of the world after this break.

i once said that compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world he understands it turns it he who doesn't pay says this is a remarkable quote from einstein and if so much to do with today's stock market volatility and the coronavirus all working at the same time and showing what compound interest is all. that. will tell you as a. means then you miss almost no. no no. that had.

$2.00 to $10.00 of them. and then you get one you know that one then. you know enough for your customers. will be close did it because it didn't seem pretty high and. most of them while being briefed. this morning boy this is when they deal with.
