yes the records. most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become invisible clubs. and our t.v. exclusive wiki leaks confirms the authenticity of the recording that could spin the narrative sounds issues the whistleblower did try to prevent and not facilitate the release of thousands of sensitive u.s. cables has claimed the courts knew about the tape when deciding on his extradition to america this. new to the u.k. transcript and through this conversation was presented to the poor to. russia sees it's banned from all ages sporting events over alleged doping cut in half to 2

years but the country's clean out league still say they're being unfairly targeted . 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 on draw flag. and with covert 19 cases creeping towards 3000000 in russia experts say the infections are reaching a plateau as the country ready for week 3 of its massive vaccination program. a warm welcome it's 9 pm here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international with me and. the head of wiki leaks has confirmed the authenticity of a recording that could be a game changer for julian of sounds it says and says it could put the brakes on his extradition to the united states. new video seems to prove the whistleblower in

fact tried to bomb the us state department about a mass breach of classified information back in 2011 and appears to be in stark contrast to washington's claims that a song one to 2 endanger lives this is what kristinn hrafnsson told as in an exclusive interview this is 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 the argument that is in the narrative for the justice department it is their indictment and which they are try to use now to get a much wider lovely u.k. they were talking about irresponsible behavior and putting lives at risk. well following these revelations more than 400000 people around the world have already signed a petition calling on u.s. officials to drop the charges against the sons politicians on the activists want donald trump to pardon him before he leaves office in january to reports public

enemy number one a man with no conscience no morals no remorse judean a solemn chas 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 itself a new t. released tapes as revealed a song to tempted to warn the us state department undone 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 our time. got it right. because. it came. right came to. spread around. to the degree that. we believe we did. become public. some possibility. so not recklessly dropping a political bombshell standing back and watching it burn as we've been told who is

easy is this guy's a traitor a treasonous and 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 in washington the very same who now want to send him down so life case for. having. people here is that it's more your problem. we have been calling. to and p.m.c. . every day trying. to hold back it's cool 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 touring your time in office please free julian assange goes 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 bottom 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 sonorous to avoid a life in jail the assistance was offered to to to stop this or mitigate and the end impossible 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 spoke to journalists activist sons former diplomats about these latest developments and 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 had no idea they thought the julian injured america. recklessly 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 the extradition of julian assange and jim pearson for. to be prosecuted for espionage for the crime of being a journalist the people who want that exactly the same people who who were testing before the should get narrative. 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. who will issue a pardon julian was not the 1st person to release this information it was already on dozens of websites. twitter obviously the guardian party that asked where he gets the files and then they ended up only prosecuting julian julian is

the only one. 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 allow the 1st 99 people to free and hunnish 100 birds. 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 was holmes by the leaks

and in the end of the earth that's quite an important thing to state the chances of the legal process in the end going against you in the very limited time and i think the grounds for extradition for a political offense and it does exclude it by the u.k. u.s. introducing treaty 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 impiety 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 conditions amounting to torture but it's the poster. who does the pro. sports top court

has cut russia's ban from all major sporting events for doping offenses from 4 years to 2 and says that the countries are fleets will only be able to compete as neutrals now have a rush as a lame pick chiefs still believe that the punishment is too harsh this 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 saddam 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 normal 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 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 of the ban means no russian flag will anthem at international sporting events until the end of 2022 and that includes the next summer and winter olympics on football world cup but it's more gas he explains there still could be twists and turns to. 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 be 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 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 the world and he duping

agency wanted to rule it but it says it respects the court's decision for his fair 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 as 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 barred 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 duff times for water with calls and cries demanding the agency reform or else but unless something changes the decision is final and then and a fresh start. for the u.k.'s minister for women and equality has been accused of discrimination and shunning her responsibilities those allegations were fired at

liz trust after her announcement on a policy over the whole set to focus more on social class and character to make our society more equal we need the equality debates to be led by thoughts not by fashion. trusses attempt to separate classroom races divisive garbage we need to create a fairer society for everyone but this means recognizing that the barriers faced by black asian and other minority ethnic people are facts not fashion black lives matter. the new approach will apparently focus on principles of fairness and dignity i think it's listening to more represented voices in society who may be impaired or discriminated against the british prime minister the british british minister also stressed attention needs to focus on geographic inequality all the opposition in britain also slammed liz transfer her role as international trade secretary in which the labor party and activists called out a total lack of equality transept has appointed hundreds of trade advisors to new

roles government data highlighted that almost all were white males a quarter of her appointments were women with just 12 from asian descent and one black person cabinet office rule suggest around 14 percent of government staff should be from ethnic minorities by 2022 and half of all new employees are female while to discuss this we have a talk radio host and columnist on going for his peers thank you for joining us on the program john now how do you rank the equality minister's new plan to defeat discrimination well i think she's got a good idea because she's focusing on class and she's trying to say look you can all be about identity politics which has actually now infested the political joining our country so where class equality each of everybody have an equal chance and it's all or do you know the people you quoted they started attacking her before

she even made the speech and in no way their attack is exactly the reason why she has to take on this one coach or this. coach or that they all promote let's start with class let's make sure that everyone's got equal opportunity noches one of the things they didn't talk about is the disadvantage of white working class boys they're doing the worst in schools at the moment that needs to be addressed as well equality for all. and i trust that that we are dominated by fashion and not facts and as we know it was to add social class to gender race and sexual orientation does well the local location released it in this group. yeah one course certain areas the country a mode of pride than others but just the whole point about identity politics is. a matter we only have to look at the way that j.k. rowling the author of the harry potter. books has been counseled by these people

the people who shout the loudest who say they represent the community are not necessarily the people who need the help we need to do the data work from that basis and promote a more equal society the idea that certain communities throw representatives who have never been elected who then start set saying well that particular minority need of course is going to be equal opportunity for women of course if you'll get a you should have the same chances as me as a straight guy all of those things are right but in a way the way they were already attacked or just proves the wouk are rattled and nobody voted for the world could gender remember that it's not in the manifestos and a kiss starts on the labor party now causing a fuss about it i think is only upset because list trust has effectively stolen his

ground a lot of the labor party have called around to have her pick the trade advisors which aren't regulated government appointments so not affected by quotas but hardly setting a good example is that. the ball in line is she should have a more representative department yes but they've picked the warden thing where they feel they can score their identity points listen without enough of quotas the best person whether that's a woman a man a straight person a trans person whatever should get the job the british public hate the whole idea of coaches and rather than pushing equality and pushing equal opportunity it makes people dig their heels in because they think of the people being given an advantage over them or go back to my point about white working class males who are the most disadvantaged in our education system in the u.k.

well just look at the b.b.c. they often say oh certainly percent must come from by in communities how about the working class how many real working class people work in the b.b.c. that's what people should be focused no but it's not a bad identity politics it's about equality or support her entirely i think she's doing a good job don't go on to talk radio host and call a mass thank you for your time thank you. the latest now on the coverage 902 asian here in russia this friday 28000 new cases have been confirmed takes the total number of infections in the country to almost 3000000 in the meantime the rollout of the sputnik the vaccine is almost into week 3 and from monday journalists and transport workers in the capital will be among the next in line to receive it his one man concert for the day's house. the number of cases here to

russian capsule remains very high however a group of scientists from the st petersburg state university and nouns that the pandemic already began in the russian capital this week now they supported the claim with their own mathematical model created to predict the spread of a covert 19 the situation in st petersburg remains alarmingly tense hording to local health officials only 4 percent of hospital beds that were earmarked for cold with 1000 patients remain vacant and that means that the hospitals are almost filled to capacity now the situation is a certain a different throughout the country president putin's spokesperson trip his call for said earlier that at the moment there are no plans for a complete lockdown in russia while the head of state himself he admits to country having some issues with a pandemic but everything is under control this have a listen. you go to work because those you know health care system in any country

was prepared for it our system proved to be more or less efficient we are aware of issues that we've had and we are dealing with them the pandemic required closing down some facilities and production unemployment has been on the rise and incomes unfortunately have been going down this is not just empty talk we know how to make it better russia was the 1st country in the world to come up with and start producing its own vaccine it's 95 percent effective not a single serious case of side effects foreign colleagues are ready to work with us now the russian president also announced earlier that in addition to putting the and rowena other vaccines are now in development meanwhile russia is now in 2 weeks where people can get inoculated against the corona virus and speaking about moscow in particular so for more than 15000 people were vaccinated at one of 70 dedicated places in the russian capital mayor of the city

sergei sedan and said that a 1000000 more citizens may get their call the chilled starting on monday december 21st now inoculation is currently limited to people in the 18 to 60 age group and those people who are older will also get their vaccine however that will happen a little bit later. one of the most devastating effects of the pandemic has been people falling below the poverty line in the u.k. the house of commons leader is facing a backlash over comments made about a unicef program to feed poor families in britain shake up worries marx said the u.s. and u.n. agency which usually provides disaster relief should be ashamed of what he called a political stunt the charity is working to make sure children have food on the table this christmas during the hard hitting coronavirus pandemic. real scandal that unicef should be playing politics in this way when it is meant to be looking

after people in the poorest the most deprived countries in the world where people are starving whether from ins or whether civil wars and they make political points of this current giving i think 25000 pounds to one council it is a political stunt of the lowest order where years i've recently launched a wide ranging program aimed at tackling food insecurity will be granting over $700000.00 pounds to community groups all over the u.k. the organization is also helping feed children in an underprivileged bar of london giving out food parcels under $25000.00 breakfasts are distributed to schools their account pain has put a spotlight on food poverty in the u.k. considered one of the wealthiest countries in the world according to unicef children in 20 percent of all u.k. households could be going hungry and an estimated 2400000 children live in so-called food insecure homes free school meal programs have seen huge numbers of

families sign up unicef has defended his decision to provide humanitarian help to children in the u.k. for the 1st time ever unicef u.k. is responding to the some precedented crisis and building on our 25 years experience to working on children's rights in the u.k. with a one off domestic response launched a notice to provide support to vulnerable children and families around the country during this crisis period. looking at some insight now from the way it will ray will side sales us think tank person on the founder of the largest independent seed bank in the u.k. thanks for joining us on the program right now given your role in food banks how would you respond to jacob riis monks calling a political stunt. i think the whole issue around food is is very political i think the reality is the government's own figures show that in britain 4.5 children 1000000 children get free school meals and before the pandemic the government's own

figures confirm that 12000000 people in britain were in poverty i think what unicef of dawn has of course given some money to people in britain and britain is one of the great generous countries in the world for giving money so it's only just right that when our people are in crisis that that unicef gives us some cash but the reality is around the world today more people would die of poverty that would die of covidien yet every council every government every local authority has somebody responsible for covidien cirrhotic ation but there's not a single minister for poverty anywhere in the world and so we're calling not to focus to make it political in the sense of who's giving money and who's starving and who isn't but she say look we've got to take the politics out of what's going on and actually have a global attempt like we have on climate to actually end poverty once and for all because the reality of poverty around the world it costs us all a huge amount of money strains on our health service strains on the welfare system

strains on housing it must be just that we pay people a decent wage so they can pay taxes so that we actually get people out of poverty and that should be the argument not about whether $1.00 charity or one international organization give somebody 20 grand the scantly is we have a government that keeps pussy footing around the real crisis in britain and not speak. 100000 people 15000000 people in the 1st 6 richest economy on the planet going hungry and that's not acceptable we should be leading a global campaign to end poverty not pussyfooting around it and many nations climate 1000 is why does the wealth gap do you expect food program programs of this kind to become more widespread in 2021 well i mean i figured by when we started before covert we were feeding sort of $30.00 to $40.00 families at the height of the lockdown we'd reached $5000.00. we now feeding so many people we can hardly

cope we have a new base in southeast london called cas place to actually monitor with a buddy system with our volunteers because of kovi we have volunteers to households so each household instead of getting a stranger doing an individual delivery we have the same posts and delivers and calls on the family every week but helps with mental health it keeps everybody safe so we'll call it a unique us approach it with the only project like it in. a what we're trying to do is actually globalized to such extent what we're doing here in every country around the world to use our model to help empower communities to talk it's not something that we can just depend anymore on our government our government around the world are all tied up with the pandemic trying to get people siphon stop people dying letting people go hungry is not a priority and so we as people and we as communities need to.
