the authenticity of a recently revealed julius sanish tape in the audio the whistleblower tried to warn u.s. authorities of widespread internet releases of american classified information as far back as 2011 that appears than in stark contrast to u.s. claims that disarms wanted to endanger american lives after some told us the audio should be a game changer in terms of the u.s. bid to extradite a sandwich this evidence that you heard and i can confirm that this is authentic is not new to the courts in the u.k. transcript of for this conversation was presented to the court in september well this should have a tremendous weight because it's basically the argument that is in the narrative for the justice department in their indictment and try to use it to get a measured a lovely u.k. you know talking about irresponsible behavior and putting lives at risk following

these revelations more than 400000 people around the world already signed a petition calling on the u.s. officials to drop charges against the songe politicians and activists then urging donald trump before he leaves office in january to pardon him suskind taylor reports. public enemy number one a man with no conscience no morals no remorse judean a solemn child's been smeared as a villain who revealed the ugly face of u.s. foreign policy but i would argue that is closer to being the high tech terrorist this disclosure is not just an attack on america's foreign policy interests it is an attack on the international community wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service is a narcissist who has created nothing of value here lies on the dirty work of others to make himself famous he is a fraud a coward hiding behind a screen 10 years that narrative ron but is it all about to change is it actually

that the whistleblower was more concerned about the collateral damage of his exposé than washington itself a new t release tape has revealed a song to tempted to warn the us state department and then boss had to reclaim 10 back in 2011 not only does it seem she had to mold the kools she went as far as this key has to answer for what he has done so what was the motive for helping a firestorm was coming in the form of a rogue wiki leaks employee online. having teletypes. state department database. trying to take out. cable. right kate. spread around. to. the degree that. we believe we've.

become public. to some possibility. so no right can see dropping a political bombshell standing back and watching it burn as we've been told who is easy is described. traitor a treasonist i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death i don't want to do it illegally shoot the son of a done great discredit to this nation should be assassinated he should be treated as an enemy combatant with you it should be closed down permanently and decisively no instead we hear a song trying to protect those in washington the very same who now want to send him down so life. every chance of having. people out here is that it's more your problem. we have been calling. to and p.m.c. . every day trying to explain it to. hold back its thought to the wiki leaks out it's even advise the state department to tell anyone why the

encrypted files could be allegedly found and also help to remove them a decade on a song just sitting in london's belmarsh prison waiting to hear whether he'll be extradited to the us to face a potential 175 yes sentence that's a hell of a sentence for someone who tried to warn the very top of what was coming so is it any wonder now that cools a mounting for president trump to pardon the whistleblower on hoping that he will pardon julian assange it's the right thing to do donald trump since you're given pardons to people please consider pardoning those who at great personal sacrifice expose the deception and criminality of those in the deep state mr president if you grant so you want to act of clemency during your time in office please free julian assange those you alone can save his life. you donald trump can save julian and encourage brave activists world wise time and timing is everything it's change the

image of a man who was cost out as a traitor and with it running out for donald trump's presidency i'm on wiki leaks bad set to replace him in the white house this could be the last chance for america to part an unfit give a man who wanted to save washington from its shame time is of the essence for a son and to avoid a life in jail the assistance was offered to to to stop this or mitigate any and possible harm to this i have no idea why this was not to follow through and to call for. help the julian was was crucially and i'm considerably. worried in altering to say the problem the state department never came back to julian for more information and seem to have not done anything based on those warning we discussed all the latest only a son's case where the panel of guests for you. they've built

a case around. the claim that he's a loose cannon that he's not a journalist this obviously throws that out the window because it shows he was doing his stooge ill gentz to seize always claim to have done. but you know it doesn't change the american government's attitude it's i will be astounded if trump has the guts to pardon and drop the church or drop the charges against him which i suppose he could actually order his. department of justice to do still while he's lame duck president a lot of people have commented in reply i had no idea they thought the julian the injured america. reckless the evil lies john the heat of battle for years. and i guess hearing julian speaking as a young boy and hearing him. basically pleading with the state department to help

him help them help people really changed a lot of people i think very pleased. hope and hoping that it gets a chance because i don't see how he could possibly here that he and continue this political persecution remember of course that the. people are very pressing for extradition and doing this and jim pearson for. to be prosecuted for espionage for the crime of being a journalist but the people who want that's exactly the same people who who were testing before us now should gates not at. so donald trump has a powerful motive to. to go against those people and to and to come to their influence so i'm not without hope that donald trump who will issue a public julian was not the 1st person to release this and. and it was already on

dozens of websites. twitter obviously the guardian party that asked where it gets the files and then they ended up only prosecuting julian julian is the only one that. he's the only one he's currently sitting in prison. while dozens of other people published it or eat it what sense does it make to it's you allow the 1st 99 people free and then punished the 100 birds is that it's been the democrats that are angriest at him because of you know the clinton capes that he released. and. you know the the prosecution of the war under obama. it was. certainly had the ability to to pardon him or drop the charges really it's dropping the charges because he hasn't found guilty of anything. and that could have been done with as you know a stroke of

a pen any time by obama and he never did it nobody actually who was was harmed by the leaks and in the end of the earth that's quite an important thing to say the chances of the legal process in the end going against you in the very limited time and i think the grounds for extradition is for a political offense and it does excluded by the u.k. u.s. extradition treaty and i think it will be knocked down by a higher court in the u.k. the worst sent united states i think in a very obvious attack on the 1st amendment implied in using b.s.p. an object against a journalist would get it knocked down in ohio courts and in america so the ultimate legal i'm not too concerned about the problem is the terrible terrible conditions julian has been kept in in in a maximum security jail alongside terrorists. andersen's amounting to torture and

it's the poster not me which is the go. roy this next 4 top courts rejected an appeal by russia's anti doping agency of the world governing body banned its our fleet from international events the ban has been half to 2 years but the country limpid committee points out as they see it there are no grounds for any punishment at all this is we do not welcome the decision to partially satisfy world then to doping agency's claim and deprive russia $900.00 oping agency of its compliance status with the world anti-doping code our position is initially based on the fact that there are no grounds for any full or partial punishment for sata and consequently any sanctions against the participants of the case we believe that in this part of the court did not fully take into account the presented dark humans everyone is so used to sanctions against russia as a whole this is no surprise i would not like to be categorical but in general this

is abnormal it is necessary to punish but cities are not sent to prison for the crimes of a few here and the whole country has been punished because someone stumbles. it's an ambiguous story in general this decision was predictable but this is not for us to decide sports politics is such that few have inside information about what is happening at the top and therefore we were only in the process of waiting but the rough picture was clear it was clear that an attack was under way on russian sport so we would hardly be allowed to play under our flag but i am glad that there was no complete dismissal the ban means no russian flag or anthem international sporting events until 2022 then but our city across one of the of next explains why the court decision may still not be the final twist in the case. in what may be described as a remarkably anticlimactic conclusion the court of arbitration for sport refrained

from an outright ban then watered down waters recommended participant after years of scandal and accusations bickering and petty insults the duping xavier is over for now russia which categorically denied allegations of state assisted duping wanted all restrictions lifted but instead must settle for 2 years rather a 4 year battle during this period it could neither host nor be the major sports into ornaments its flag a national anthem will also be bad but clean russian athletes not involved in the doping scandal will be allowed to participate at the olympics the collective punishment clause that someone did to taint every russian athlete as a potential cheat is gone that was nice because of the most important result of our collaborative effort is the fact that the court of arbitration for sport has been extended its support for a world unto duping agency in applying measures of collective accountability and

refused to introduce additional participation criteria for russian athletes and the olympic games paralympic games and world championships the world and he duping agency wanted a ruling but it says it respects the court's decision for his fare for the next 2 years so no more scandal no more investigations who fully it all ends all restrictions will be lifted it's a new start which not everyone is happy about the united states especially has made a stink of it that have preferred a more permanent battle usada acknowledges the devastating decision from the court of arbitration for sport in the russia case that hands water and clean athletes a significant loss at this stage in this sordid russian stay. sponsored doping affair now spanning close to a decade there is no consolation in this week watered down outcome to once again

escape a meaningful consequence proportional to the crimes much less a real ban is a catastrophic blow to clean athletes the integrity of sport and the rule of law which of course is ridiculous given the unprecedented enmity between the u.s. and the world adze duping agency largely because washington allegedly attempted to seize control of it and threatened to cut its payments to wada if it didn't play along it didn't and it made clear that american athletes risk being blocked from the olympics if washington stops paying its jews at the end of the day this final ruling pleased know what on top of that these are these duff times for wada with calls and cries demanding the agency reform or outs but unless something changes the decision is final and then and

a fresh start meanwhile the international olympic committee said it's ready to hammer out a roadmap for implementing the latest court ruling we discuss the implications of it all with meter sports expert. if the 4 your band had still been in place it would be the most severe punishment in the history of sport. so a reduction to 2 years ok nobody's particularly thrilled about this but it it's a deal and i take care to say. this is the end of the road after 2 years presumably russia will be compliant with the war that the doping agencies procedures and it will be reintegrated back into world sport this appears to be the end of the road technically they could appeal it they could go to the swiss folklore court but they would have to show new evidence which i don't think there is any or that there have been some kind of procedural irregularities in other words

a technical problem again i don't imagine that there are any and even if it did get to the swiss federal court it's by no means sure that they would go against the court of arbitration i think or some other lawyer do you know of the just lost patience because remember it is also the huge battle going on for control of the teams already so they're trying to play this nice house will be very very soon you started the usa you know to go be day they have all 'd their revelry lined up to its back while we know that ranch 8 of us has been in that side and error so you're hoping that this will save the masses who are crying you know for russia. everything and anything always this is not the end this is needed in middle. europe is just going to be one of those sensors and you know that russia is falling down and will continue to keep posting the twists and turns of it every year this after the break patients literally parked on the tarmac some for many hours and

ambulances in covert it northern ireland because there are no hospital beds details of what's been happening there what's causing it from adult. the say after this break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world the politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

again some were let loose in northern ireland patients there being treated in the back of ambulances in hospital car parks because of a chronic lack of capacity amid the worsening pandemic crisis. forming outside clinics throughout the area with no beds free in one county antrim facility 17 of

the vehicles were lined up outside its emergency department one patients indeed reportedly held in ambulance all night medics john kelley wrote down the situation and told us what's happening. i've been a doctor for over 35 years and the scenes of the. sad accident. apartments. that. it is very important that we get our section rates under control and we need clear concise advice to our population and we need clear action by our executive to reduce those numbers we do know that locked up in dollars reduce them i know it is difficult. we need to get the numbers to i'm about our health service and coke until hopefully we start to get

a vaccination rolled out to our population with the situation critical of to more than $59000.00 confirmed cases and 1100 deaths northern ireland starts a new 6 week and then on boxing day residents are being urged to only leave home for essential reasons 1st deputy minister the michelle o'neill said there was little choice they are. going to be disappointing to many i think a lot of people also would have expected it and it's very clear that we needed an urgent intervention i think this is the right decision by the executive albeit i accepted the challenge and for many many people unfortunately last time seems to be the only true look we have to reduce numbers of people getting virus hospitalisations and that's it's a very difficult decision for our party for our politicians to make they have to balance the rest of. increasing numbers going into hospital into

a see you and that's against the mental well being of the population and also the economic problems that this has caused. i think a prolonged lockdown would have been beneficial earlier. tech giants right now facing a wave of massive lawsuits with google the latest in the firing line the online search but he wants been slapped with a 2nd anti monopoly case in 2 days this time from scores of state attorney generals . and filing a lawsuit against google with 37 a tony generals to end its legal monopoly in series services it doesn't take a web search to understand that until it's corporate power shouldn't have disproportionate control over our data and information for the lawsuit alleges that google showed favoritism in results downgrading competing websites the company also is accused of not giving users the choice but to use its products on devices google

insists its actions benefit consumers but that said cases against the company amounting double quarter reports google staring down the battle of a lawsuit filed on wednesday by a federal court in texas it's backed by 10 states who are crying foul on the tech giants apparent anti-competitive practices google is a trillion dollar monopoly going so far as to induce senior facebook executives to agree to a contractual scheme that undermines the heart of competitive process google is essentially trading on insider information by acting as the pitcher catcher better and umpire all at the same time this is anti-market and illegal the plaintiffs are claiming google's formed a monopoly around the means of online advertisement and that it's unclear who it's with facebook which is manipulating the ad market in exchange for favors google says the connection is a lot of baloney but soccer has already taken flak for his company's buyer barry competition tactics facebook's got another lawsuit to deal with from the federal

trade commission. facebook has maintained its monopoly position by buying up companies that present competitive threats and by imposing restrictive policies that unjustifiably into actual or potential rivals did facebook does not or cannot acquire and that's just the tip of the big tech lawsuit iceberg in october google had yet another legal battle on its hands once again accused of monopolist practices today millions of americans rely on the internet and online platforms for their daily lives competition in this industry is vitally important which is why today's challenge against google for violating and to trust laws is a monumental case both for the department of justice and for the american people across the atlantic europe's waging its own war on tech giant rule breakers the gatekeeper breaks the rules we can impose fines if it's done several times repeated plea we can also impose structure remedies divestiture that sort of things tech

giants roots go deep into the every day lives of millions of people around the world it would be hard to imagine life without them but with legal battles becoming more commonplace than ever it might be important to remember that the bigger they are the harder they fall a mobius frame term posed to the tech giants are also publicly swinging at each other now facebook itself the targets of vast anti monopoly lawsuits has paid for full page ads in major newspapers attacking uppal for letting users opt out of tracking a top source of income for facebook whose book is speaking out for small businesses those new i.o.'s 14 policy will have a home full impact on many small businesses that are struggling to stay afloat but on the free internet that we all rely on more than ever apple though claims to be the hero in the story here the company says the move which comes in next year will protect users privacy. we believe users should have the choice

over the data that is being collected about them and how it is used facebook can continue to track users across apps and website as before at track in transparency in iowa last 14 will just require that they ask for your permission 1st well either which way will the author afford criminal says facebook's claims are that rich facebook has been agree just violator of privacy of course people sign effectively sign away their privacy rights when they create an account but they have also really collaborated with the governments especially in the us they're using the small business. as a stalking horse they're hiding behind it is just state a proxy for their own interests really i mean they haven't done anything for small businesses and i would venture to guess that their majority of their ads and it

does not come from small businesses anyway apple has been the most protective of user privacy of all the big tech firms and i'm not praising apple gratuitously err they have been more reluctant to let for example the n.s.a. in the back door of their data to collect data from their users they've they've not revealed how to mock their phones apple could probably negotiate a deal with facebook and perhaps that this is just a rhetorical move in order to do so so that they could explore extort money out of facebook for getting rid of this particular feature but if they don't then it's very admirable. messy isn't it the seraph of the headline so far that we're across you want to catch more of a comment tonight of a story check it out c dot com it said 28 half past the hour i'm kevin and something else and or house and whatever you do in a good day. the
