below let's say i'm a troika in europe i'm greece of the fight wall street fraud thank you for. what was destroyed. slavery. and i see exclusive wiki leaks confirms the authenticity of the recording they could spin the narrative on julian farms it shows the whistleblower did try to prevent or not facilitate the release of thousands of sensitive u.s. cables has claimed the courts knew about the take when deciding on his extradition to america. through the. new 2 ports in the u.k. transcript of this conversation was presented to. russia sees its ban from all major sporting events over alleged doping cut in half to 2 years for the

country's clean athletes still say they're being unfairly treated. cities are not sent to prison for the crimes of a few it was clear that the charge was on the way on russian sport so it would hardly be allowed to play on draw flag. also with covert 19 cases creeping closer to 3000000 in russia experts say the infections are reaching a plateau as the country ready for week 3 of its mass vaccination program. and a top british lawmaker faces a backlash after saying unicef should be ashamed of a quote political stunt as the charity organization aims to put food on the table for vulnerable children in this quest. a very warm welcome to you watching r.t. international with mina. overhead and wiki leaks has. infirmed the authenticity of

a recording that could be a game changer for julian assange and says it could put the brakes on his extradition to the united states they already are seems to prove that whistleblower in fact tried to warn the u.s. state department about a mass breach of classified information back in 2011 and appears to be in stark contrast to washington's claims that our sons wanted to endanger lives this is what kristinn hrafnsson told us in an exclusive interview this is evidence that you heard american courtroom but this is also. is not new to the courts in the u.k. transcript all through this conversation was presented to the court and so will this should have a tremendous weight because it's basically the argument that is in the narrative for the justice department it is their indictment and they are try to use it to get a much lower level u.k. we're talking about irresponsible behavior and putting lives at risk. while 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 a son's politicians and activists want donald trump to pardon him before he leaves office in january tell of a pause. 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 as 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 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. i think over time. because. it came. right kate. spread around. to. the degree that. we probably are going to have to. 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 discarded. 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 and washington the very same who now want to send him down so life. having. people out here is that it's more your problem. we have been calling. to and p.m.c. . every day trying to. hold back its store 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 ultram can save julian and encourage brave activists worldwide time and timing is everything it's change the

image of a man of who was cost out as a traitor and without 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 saunders to avoid a life in jail the assistance was offered to to to stop this or mitigate and the and impossible harm to this i have no idea why this was not to follow through and to quote for. you hold the julian was was crucially i'm considerably. worried in offering to say to the state department let me came back to julian for more information and seem to have not done anything based on his warning and we spoke to journalists activists sounds former diplomats 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 doing his stooge ill gentz to cease 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 the julian in the injured america. recklessly believe the lies john the heat of battle 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 very please only. 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 the union 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 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 trump who will issue a public julian was not the 1st person to release this and. and it was already on

dozens of websites. are obviously the guardian party that asks where it gets the files and then they end up only prosecuting julian julian is the only one . he's the only one he's currently sitting in. while dozens of other people published it or eat it what sense does it make to allow the 1st 99 people free and hunnish the 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 obama 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 was harmed by the leaks and in the end the that's quite an important thing to say the chances of a political process in the end go against you in the very limited time and i think the grounds for extradition 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 worse and the united states i think in a very obvious attack on the 1st amendment impiety in using b.s.p. an object 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 a maximum security jail alongside terrorists. andersen's amounting to torture but

it's the poster. who does the pro. sport top corps has cut russia's ban from all major sporting events for doping offenses from 4 years to 2 and say is that they countries are fleets will only be allowed to compete as neutrals however russia's olympic 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 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 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 saying sions 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 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 of the ban means no russian fungal outflow meant international sporting events until the end of 2022 and that includes the next summer and winter olympics football world cup but as more and galaxy of explains there are there still could be twists and turns to come. 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 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's 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 that play into every russian athlete as a potential cheat is gone the 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 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 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 we shift 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 on top of that these are these duff times for wada with calls and cries demanding the agency reform or else but unless something

changes the decision is final and then and the fresh start. society international still ahead a millionaire minister in the u.k. has called a campaign to provide food for children struggling families a political stunt we'll look at the reaction after the plane. universes reveal. information presence. that is the ultimate reality of this thing we call much you can hear to hear contagion you can touch it with shapes sold a. bunch a loser decal it's all about exposure. one else chose seemed wrong. why don't we all just don't call. any.

yet to shape our disdain become educated and indeed trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking together for the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you there. welcome back the latest now on the case of 19 situation here in russia this friday 28000 new cases have been confirmed it takes the total number of infections in the country to almost 3000000 in the meantime the rollout of the sputnik v.

vaccine is almost into week 3 and from monday jan the sun transport was transport workers and the capital will be among the next in line to receive it has room on cars for for the details. 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 courting to local health officials only 4 percent of hospital beds that were earmarked for cold 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 the symbolism. you go to work because there was no 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 sputnik the end vaca rhona other vaccines are now in development meanwhile russia

society more equal we need to hear because he didn't beg to be led by thoughts not by fashion. the new approach will apparently center on principles of fairness and dignity that includes listening to more represented voices in society who may be impaired or discriminated against the british minister also stressed more attention is needed on geographic inequality but trust his speech was caused has caused outrage in westminster and beyond. truss's 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 opposition in britain also slammed liz trust for her role as international trade secretary and which the labor party and activists called out a total lack of equality trust has appointed hundreds of trade advisors to new

roles in government data highlighted that almost all were white males a quarter of her appointments were women and chose to 12 from asian descent and asian descent and one black person cabinet office will suggest around 14 percent of government staff should be from ethnic minorities by 2022 and half of all new employees female we spoke to john daunt a talk radio host and columnist to say equality is all about people in general not particular minorities well i think she's got a good idea because she's focused on class and she's trying to say look it can't all be about identity politics which has actually now infested the political culture in our country so it's about class it's about equality it's about everybody have an equal chance we need to do the data works on that basis and promote a more equal society 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 we have to go back to basics we have to say it's equality for. one of the most devastating effects of the covert 900 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 jacob riis smaug said the 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. 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 into weather or 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 unicef 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 and assuring $25000.00 breakfasts are distributed to schools that are campaign 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 or homes free school meals programs have seen huge numbers of families sign up yourself as 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. let's go live now to class inequality and social justice campaign at least in mckenzie thank you for joining us on the program was great to see you now given some of the numbers we just heard about food poverty in the u.k. what do you make of jacob brisket mogs comments about this being a political stunt. i mean not you know they agree small god i think it makes you think coast on themselves. by a touch. nothing logical very small really nice it is to be honest for all the government to be honest about what's often in the contract and cannot

just say there's nothing new really busy about this is not really a new phenomenon. child or is being with a bridge or many many generations has the government be particularly involved in supporting food banks during the pandemic. i know that i'm aware of now i will. to be honest i think based on throughout the country but been pretty much left alone you know to sort of campaign trying to raise phones trying to raise resources themselves i know the one here is not single i'm the one local. may or june. was on their last box of food and there were parts close the doors we had to very quickly. and online campaign together and get people. to say we're about to close the. door now do you know. the few times in the u.k.

i pretty much been left alone i was famous here in many nations is how covert 19 is white and the wealth poverty gap and do you expect that to keep growing in 2021. yes sadly and frighteningly. very epic and always going to happen number one to publish it in a way that child will is going out to really really hold. on to the millions of people that are all going to be unemployed you know where we jumped and what happened when pearl atlantans. can people ocean people off guard and you know i think it's i cherish it is the last thing we should be jailing and i prefer solidarity not charity i do think comments like this one from jacob riis small from the political class in general might actually help dawna more support for charities. i didn't want to know sure i've been really

thinking about this and you know it better then that people get in so it's. all. real. and from iraq i'm a working class woman myself looking for my mining community and i can honestly say that i've seen this level of poverty all of my life you know my grandma moment experience this level of poverty and charity will only solve a problem today and i honestly think that we need croaker long term solutions particularly as i think we're going to get around 4000000 unemployed by the middle of next year of the leader of the house of commons as an estimated fortune and say the millions of pounds do you expect him to respond now. all right now. you know jake agree small of cern's all comes out with. you know sort of

angry expletives regarding poverty and welfare caremark don't expect him to respond at all you know eat didn't really respond to walker's rushford before all of that campaign to free school meals my expect the conservative party and actually the whole of westminster to continue to do what they always did which is turn a blind guy and continue with business as usual only works when they're meanwhile the poor working class people in the u.k. . their lines are falling apart. because i'm account author dr lisa mackenzie thank you very much for your time and. this friday marks international migrants day and thousands of undocumented asylum seekers have filled the streets of some 50 cities across france this is the scene in paris organized on the demonstration of say far refused to back down on dispersed but coated 9.
