maybe we have to get out. of. the headlines this hour we can lease editor in chief confirms to assay the authenticity of the recording that proves try to prevent or not facilitate the widespread release of us state department documents it's claimed the courts knew about the tape when deciding on his extradition to america. is not new to the u.k. transcript of this conversation was presented to them so also to come sports top court cuts russia's ban from all major sporting events for doping offenses from 4

years to 2 but the countries are then pick chiefs say there is no reason that any sanctions at all. cities are not sent to prison for the crimes of a few it was clear that an attack was underway on russian sport so it would hardly be allowed to play under our flag. and google faces a 2nd lawsuit in 2 days over its monopoly of online search engines. hello there good afternoon just on 2 o'clock in moscow you with r.t. international now the wiki leaks editor in chief has confirmed to r.t. the authenticity of the recording of songe that was recently revealed in the audiotape the whistleblower tried to warn u.s. authorities of widespread internet releases of american classified information back in 2011 that appears in stark contrast to u.s.

claims as a songe wanted to endanger american lives kristen her franson said that the tape should be a game changer in terms of the u.s. bid to extradite the son. 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 suits basically throws the argument that is in the narrative for the justice department in their indictment and which they are try to use now to get a much of a lovely u.k. they were talking about irresponsible behavior and putting lives at risk of following these revelations more than 400000 people around the world have already signed a petition calling on u.s. officials to drop charges against a sanch politicians and activists are urging donald trump before he leaves office in january to pardon him saskia taylor has more. 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 it's closer to being in the high tech terrorists 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 but sarge 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 the whistleblower was more concerned about the collateral damage of his exposé than washington that sells a new t released tape has revealed a song to tempted to warn the u.s. 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. top my daughter. trying to take out my cable. right katie you. spread it 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 is easy

is disguise. 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 beast on our great discredit to this nation should be assassinated you 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 and washington the very same who now want to send him down so life. having. people here is that it's more your problem. we have been calling. to and p.m.c. . every day trying to train. the holdback it's tool 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 grown so you want to act of clemency during your time in office please free julian assange those you alone can save his life you don't know trump can save julie and encourage brave activists rolled worries time and timing is everything it's change the image of a modest who was cost out as a traitor and without running out for donald trump's presidency i'm on wiki leaks but to replace him in the white house this could be the last chance for america to

pop. at an unfair give a man who wanted to save washington from its same time is of the essence for a sonorous to avoid a life in jail the assistance was offered to to to stop this or mitigate any and of course a blow hard to this i have no idea why this was not followed through and it took up the offer. to help the giuliani was was carefully and considerably. worried in offering to say the problem the state department never came back to julian for more information and seem to have not done anything based on his warning or we discuss these latest developments further with the palin panel of guests. 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 as he's always claimed 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 lame duck president a lot of people have commented in reply saying i had no idea they thought the julian injured america. is reckless they believe the lies john the heat in the middle for years. and i guess hearing julian speaking as a young boy and hearing him like basically pleading with the state department to help him help them help people really changed a lot of people i think i was very pleased with the only evidence. i hope i'm hoping that it gets a chance because i don't see how he could possibly hear that and continue this

political persecution remember of course that the. people are very pressing for the extradition of julian assange jim pearson for the union to be prosecuted for espionage for the crime of being a journalist the people who want that exactly the same people who who were pissing befalls law should get narrative. so donald trump has a powerful motive to. to go against those people and to and come to their influence so i'm not without hope that donald trump 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. well dozens of other people published it or eat it what sense does it make if you allow the 1st 99 people to free and punish 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 a bomber 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 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 worse and the united states i think in a very obvious attack on the 1st amendment implied in using the espionage act against a journalist would get it knocked down in the higher 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 a maximum security jail alongside terrorists. andersen's amounting to torture and it's the poster not me which is the pro. sports top court has cut russia's ban from all major sporting events for diving offenses

from 4 years to 2 and says the country's athletes will only be able to compete as neutrals however rushes in pick chief still believes that the punishment is too harsh this is we do not welcome the decision to partially satisfy world then to doping agencies 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 the whole country has been punished because someone stumbled. 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 it would hardly be allowed to play under our flag but i am glad that there was no complete dismissal. was mentioned there the band does mean no russian flag or anthem it international sporting events until 2022 and during that time the country won't be able to host many big tournament stay there however the could still be more twists and turns to come as more advanced yet expects. in what may be described as a remarkably anticlimactic conclusion the court of arbitration for sport refrained from an outright ban and watered down waters recommended participant after years of scandal and accusations bickering and petty insults the duping savior 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 bid for the major sporting tournament 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 paint 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 an extended its support for a world unto duping agency in applying measures of collective for accountability and refused to introduce additional participation criteria for russian athlete and the olympic games paralympic games and world championships in 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 a 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 adds he 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 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 has said it is ready to hammer out a roadmap implementing the court's ruling we discuss the implications with media

and sports but it's. if the 4 you're bad 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 a lot of things already so they're trying to play this nice cars will be very very soon you'll start in 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 not signed and are 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 you know that russia is falling down and. watching i think still to come to this our patience neutrally popped up in ambulances because of a shortage of hospital beds that's the situation in northern ireland at the moment where he's battling against the pandemic details after the break.

is there such a thing as public opinion anymore after all after 2 election cycles in a row data has been largely imperfect because there is more than just one public and are there good reasons not to trust the polls. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. tyson nation community. are you going the right way or are you being

so. direct. what is true what is great. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. welcome back here without patients in northern ireland being treated in the back of ambulances and hospital car parks because of a chronic lack of capacity amid a worsening pandemic crisis queues of ambulances formed outside clinics throughout the area and with no beds free at a hospital in county antrim 17 lined up outside its emergency department one patient reportedly stayed there all night we spoke with medic john i can't. i've

been a doctor for over 35 years the sins of the lance and screwed up side action to merge . departments is on president. it is very important that we get our infection rates under control and we need clear concise advice to our population and we need clear action by our executive reaches those numbers we do know that lock time dos reaches them i know it is difficult but we need to get the numbers time so that our health service can cope until hopefully we start to get the vaccination rolled out to our population. well with the situation critical after more than 59000 confirmed cases and 1100 deaths northern ireland starts a new 6 week lockdown on boxing day residents are being urged to leave their home

only for centuries and that the minister said it was little choice. and a big disappointment to many i think a lot of people also would have expected it and it's very clear that we needed an urgent intervention and i think this is the right decision by the executive albeit i accept it will be challenging for many many people unfortunately loctite seems to be the only true look we have reduced numbers of people getting virus hospital admissions and that's it's a very difficult decision for our part for our politicians to make they have to balance the risks of. increasing numbers going into hospital into a sea chance against them at all well being of the population and also the economic problems this has caused. i think a prolonged lockdown would have been beneficial here.

tech giants are facing a wave of lawsuits at the moment with google the latest in the firing line it's being slapped with a 2nd anti monopoly case and this time from schools of state attorney generals. and filing a lawsuit against google with 37 a torn new 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 well the lawsuit alleges that google showed favoritism in results downgrading competing websites the company's also the keys to not giving eases any choice but to use its products own devices and insists his actions benefit consumers but cases against the company. is done cauterets but those who'll 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 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 unjustified actual will potential rivals that 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 enter 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 it's a gatekeeper breaks the rules we can impose fines if it's done it 7 times repeated 3 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 well the tech giants are publicly lashing out at each other too facebook which is also facing anti monopoly lawsuits has paid for 30 s. ment's a major newspapers attacking apple for letting uses opt out of tracking something which has been a source of major income for facebook facebook 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 when the free internet that we all rely on more than ever apple however claims to be the hero in this story the company says the move which comes into force 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 you'll see

the looks of the with michael rectum won't he says that facebook's claims are a bit rich facebook has been agreed 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 extort extort money out of facebook for getting rid of this particular feature but if they don't then it's very admirable. what she ought to internationalise coming up the holocaust in the afternoon in moscow i will be back with more stories to house of. the the. narrator's rooms there to paris gun for another week there for the good green movement of their american masters weapon of mass communication is spreading into the bay area and by our air defense waiters
