leaves office in january 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 is 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 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 released tape has revealed

a song just 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 cools 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. i think over time. because. it came. out 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 is easy
8:05 am
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 he should be treated as an enemy combatant with you 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 case for. having. people out here is that it's more your problem. we have been calling. the embassy. every day trying to. hold back its talk 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
8:06 am
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 donald trump can save julian and encourage brave activists worldwide time and timing is everything it's change the image of a man who was cost out as a traitor and without running out for donald trump's presidency i'm on wiki leaks
8:07 am
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 offering to say to the state department never came back to julian for more information and seem to have not done anything based on his warning but we spoke to journalists activists and former to pronounce to about these latest developments. 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
8:08 am
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 lame duck president a lot of people have commented in reply i had no idea they thought the julian the 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 basically pleading with the state department to help him help them help people really changed a lot of people i think very pleased only added since. hope i'm hoping that it
8:09 am
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 the extradition of julian assange jim pederson 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 were pressing the false logic gates 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 who will issue a pardon julian was not the 1st person to release this and. and it was already on dozens of websites. twitter obviously the guardian carty that password to
8:10 am
get 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. while dozens of other people publish 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. 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
8:11 am
the leaks and in the end of the earth that's quite an important thing to stake 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 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 in in a maximum security jail alongside terrorists. andersen's amounting to daughter and it's the poster not me which is a pro. sports top court has cut russia's ban from all major
8:12 am
sporting events for dating offenses from 4 years to 2 and says that the country's athletes will only be able to compete as neutral however rush is a live picture if still believe 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 russian $1000.00 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
8:13 am
crimes of a few here and 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 we would hardly be allowed to play under our flag but i am glad that there was no complete dismissal so then the ban does mean that no russian flag or anthem at international sporting events until the end of 2022 ensuring that time the country won't be able to host many big tournament say that it is not a gas they have now explains that could still be twists and turns ahead. 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
8:14 am
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 and 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 saddam wanted to paint every russian athlete as a potential cheat is gone that was nice and 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 on to duping agency in applying measures of collective for accountability
8:15 am
and refused to introduce additional participation criteria for russian athlete 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
8:16 am
a catastrophic blow to clean athletes the integrity of sport and the rule of law we shift 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 bought from the olympics if washington stops paying its jews at the end of the day this final ruling pleased know what a gulp of that these are these the tough 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. so become patients literally parked up in i'm going says because of

more than 59000 confirmed cases and 1100 deaths northern ireland will go into a 6 week lockdown until you after christmas day residents are being urged to leave their homes only for centuries reasons deputy 1st minister said it was little choice. it would 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 accept it will be challenging for many many people unfortunately loctite seems to be the only true look we have to reduce numbers of people getting virus hospital patients 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. it'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 here live. facing a wave of lawsuits at the moment google the latest in the firing line it's been slapped with a 2nd anti monopoly case in 2 days this time from state attorney general. i'm 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 but also to ledges that google showed favoritism in results downgrading competing websites the company's a was accused of not giving uses any choice but to use its products on devices google insists though its actions benefit consumers but cases against the company

are mounting as don't quarter explain 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 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 will 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 end 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 for the tech giants are also taking aim at each other facebook has paid for advertisement some major papers attacking apple for planning to let users opt out of tracking on its i phones that has been a major source of income for facebook whose book is speaking out for small businesses new iowa's 14 policy will have a home full impact and 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 the 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 i.o.'s 14 will just require that they ask for your permission 1st we got that he's of the liberal studies expert michael rectum won't this and he says that facebook is hardly a shiny example when it comes to good practice 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 u.s. they're using the small business. as a stalking horse they're hiding behind it it's just say 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 ad revenue 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 here
8:26 am
they have been more reluctant to what for example the n.s.a. in the back door of their data to collect data from their users safe they have not revealed how to mock their phones apple could probably negotiate a deal with facebook and perhaps that's 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. that brings you up to date the when you say fountain identikit i put a website full of stories for you to say you can find it out and tell. us it isn't. that nice to see it as. this.
