interview to the revealing how she learned of her father's murder. plot i turned on the t.v. and i saw his picture. i understand what happened. from that day tell no i'm still shocked about what. it's so hard to believe. this could be a sewer now and flossy. explained to me why he believes corona virus means our world will never be the same again. not in the morning this sunday in moscow welcome to the program it's the weekly with me kevin oh in a recap of some of the big stories we brought you over the last 7 days great to have you company by the way. so 1st the head of wiki leaks confirm the authenticity

of the recording that could be a game changer for julian a sanch and says it could put the brakes on his extradition to the u.s. the audio seems to prove the worse a blow in fact try to warn the state department about a mass breach of classified information back in 2011 appearing to be in stark contrast to to washington's claims that the sons wanted to endanger lives this is what question how france and told us in an exclusive interview. this evidence that you heard and i can quote sure and that this is authentic is not new to the courts in the u.k. transcript or 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 emotional and loudly u.k. you know talking about irresponsible behavior and putting lives at risk following the revelations more than 400000 people around the world already signed

a petition then calling on washington to drop the charges against the songe politicians and activists want all of trump to pardon him before the outgoing president leaves office next month so ask a tailor 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 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 reveal 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 committed to cools she went as far as this he 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 to. spread around. to. the degree that. we believe we've. become public.

some possibility. so no right can see dropping a political bombshell standing back and watching it burn as we've been told is easy it is to schedule. 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 we 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. 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 will 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 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 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

but on to replace him in the white house this could be the last chance for america to part an unfair give a man who wanted to save washington from its shame time is. the essence for a sonorous to avoid a life in jail the assistance was offered to to to stop this or mitigate any and it possible harm to this i have no idea why this was not followed through and it took up the offer of the help that julian was was carefully and 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 this warning. little to have the coverage impacted all our lives in one way or another than did an article for r.t. dot com or announce philosophers level told us they'll be no return to normal once

the pandemics over by our system direct that why while he said it's because the crisis has opened up opportunities to control people like never before. that's great if we can save our lives. just afraid. to you know perspective now a strain to think it's happening be smart smarter but a lot cheaper at the same time people are afraid lest they die to go all socialized and so it's not just shifting dream and those now we have the bank of the north. enjoyment like let's enjoy it while he last who knows what will happen i did a virus she's waiting to die. or something you don't know i am for measure us look down and. many of us use decent book establish major museums both their own and we'll. do what i call

a post human state of being totally legal don't get me on the horizon even the prospect of so why our brain. mind process use maybe they're dealing. with doesn't need to be exaggerating here and you. think we should. have. that we learned from. that me. going to. interest and pointed a scientist seriously yes these possibilities open but they're by gaming but they're all in the being that many many millions of go shortly say zees deny

science or just isolated lately to go on with. the same. she tells me right most of them are me. and you can go after. all these new. drug smuggling surprising massive limber len with drug dealers now controlling swathes of the german capital in the way that our sister channel took a hidden camera to some of the most troubled areas of the city and this is what they found.

intimidated me a well built young man came into my kiosk i told him to get out but he refused and they started grabbing me i called the police but they arrived too late so i gave a statement but nothing has changed. if not then you can see them looking out for a potential victim and if somebody is not paying attention they smash their bag or wallets. that i'm open with when i go to the station looking for a dealer i tell him what i need he takes a rubbed elbows out of his mouth the standard price for

a job is this $20.00 euros i give him the money and we go our separate ways. the most important reason for this drug trafficking is a very lenient city government and they instructed police to turn a blind eye towards the drug dealers at gurlitz upchuck ethnic groups from africa most of them are rejected asylum seekers not deported according to the law they activate the africans are acting out of going to suck cock and trying to make a living but they're not. immigrants looking for decent work but as i said most of them rejected you saw him saying he is and should not be in this country secondly there are. activities. who are dominating certain areas and bill in their very very well organized organized crime and.

their word is that all and this happens not just in berlin but also in other cities in germany. first have a t.v. interview the daughter of iran's former top military chiefs given an emotional description of when she found. the u.s. assassinated general custom sum of money in a drone strike in january zeinab $70.00 also speaks about what a consequences of a father's death you can still watch the full interview too and in some fancy a home i got so shocked and saw a lot of stress like my heart was going out from my chest when i turned on the t.v. and i saw his picture i understand what happened and from that they tell me i'm still shocked how is the death of your brought iran together what happened in iran and iraq was something it's something so special

in the history you see how people come to the street and they are crying and they are sad and they are angry and they want revenge and they are waiting for an answer because they know. what general fully money did for them and they know also well why order to kill my father so so after that after killing my father america thought that everything will be stopped because they killed general soleimani departure of the middle east but they are so wrong. they didn't see the anger of the art in the eyes of iranian people they didn't see their tears they didn't see their sadness and i have to say a generosity of money has a military from people that they will take revenge from trump and they are so wrong they are thinking this war will be end the end of general soley money this is the

beginning our people are united and they will stand in front of such a dangerous powers. the us has imposed sanctions on turkey over its purchase of russia's 400 surface to air missile system and angry president there were in the said he thought washington was a friend just that you did you look at it as a nato member it is being applied against our country for the 1st time what kind of an alliance is this this decision is an open attack on the sovereign rights of our country. turkey is a valued ally and an important regional security partner for the united states and we seek to continue our decades long history of productive defense sector cooperation by removing the obstacle of turkey's s 400 possession as soon as possible the embargoes target turkey to friends industry officials whose assets will be frozen and visas restricted russia's foreign minister says the move breaks

international law because of the say too that he's not surprised. your stature should move. this is of course another example of arrogance towards international law a manifestation of illegitimate unilateral coercive measures that the united states has been using for many years even decades left and right and of course it doesn't increase u.s. or thora t. on the international arena where it is a responsible participant in the international division of labor including military and technical cooperation. as well ankara bought the s 400 system last year and the trumpet ministrations been threatening to punish turkey ever since over it claiming russia's system is a danger to nato istanbul based political analyst to use affair i'm told has got plenty ways to retaliate though if he wants to. it's a huge no because we see the americans saying that they want to give diplomacy

a chance but throughout this whole s 400 process being acted very weak symmetrically very unilaterally will try to reciprocate and complicate things for the united states bilateral relations and american activity in the region as well start you can also see by us whether it is turkey to cease producing parts for the f. $35.00 there's american presence in jersey airbase american presence that should if you can radar station but i don't think you will take any very aggressive steps right now especially with the new like the ministry should come again we've already seen the turkish president has called for a review of the sanctions where he told being that they could be lifted or going forward. but to check it out how to the national junior weekend so is appreciated here but what a recap of the news of the week well this is actually happening now love that is rushing to get out of the capital ahead a tough new law rules and

a warning came in last night of an even more contagious much more contagious trade we look at the broader covert response across the continent. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. very dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk.

again while london has been scrambling to get out of the capital of what's been called the biggest evacuation since world war 2 after the city announced new extra . saturday night people even jumped into hugely expensive taxis to taxis are trying to get to the other side of the country to save their christmas freedom as it was revealed as well as 70 percent more infectious coronavirus trade spreading fast

boris johnson earlier admitted it would be hard to enjoy the festive period as usual. given the early evidence we have on this new variant of that virus the potential risk it poses it is with a very heavy heart i must tell you we cannot continue with christmas as planned. well johnson's words echo a warning from the world health organization which this week said the festive period is no time to relax about covert adding that the pandemic may get even worse across the continent in germany a strict new lockdown was also announced this week with records being set there for the number of new covert cases but the problem goes even wider than that as peter oliver reports. the christmas lockdown period is a policy here in germany they comes at a particular time the couldn't treat posted record breaking covert figures this week that combs is. 'd saying that they will roll out a vaccination program in the coming weeks but also warn that the foundations of

already. for a 3rd wave of coronavirus. we saw that a 3rd wave had started to build before the 2nd and actually subsided we need to give a clear signal this christmas the new year must be different to usual it's not just germany italy is facing a grim record of its 700000 deaths this year the highest figure since 1944 were during the 2nd world war rome has put in place new regulations to run from monday the 21st until january the 6th that will see restaurants closing at 6 pm and 10 pm curfew but hospitality workers say these measures will ruin them all and they actually destroyed our sector by making us clothes are established at 6 pm and blaming us for things they were guilty of instead because during lockdown we didn't receive anything not the 1st time the 2nd 3rd or 4th

a similar scene is playing out in france where the stay at home order has been replaced with a curfew that move has seen thousands of workers a cultural venue's protest a shutdown on their places of work i did i. was. in spain testing is found that one in 10 of the population had been infected with covert 19 the scale of this pandemic is hitting home in sweden as well with more deaths this november than any since the spanish flu pandemic over a century ago. and an official investigation into sweden's coronavirus strategy has found that stock must take the blame for its high death rate prompting the swedish prime minister to put out a statement saying the country got its tactics of wrong i think most health

officials didn't see such a wave in front of them they spoke about clusters it's not like we weren't prepared for something to happen again but no one could have predicted the strength of it some conclusions have been made about where we could have done better in a week's time families would be coming together across europe to celebrate christmas however desir with covert dictating the rules the festive period may well be a lot more distant than we used to as european leaders to keep contact to a minimum peter all of our party early. hundreds of restaurant workers really didn't central new york this week after a new city locked on the street since their came into force protest as warm though it will force most businesses out of business. right. rocco. whatever you want to try to refer to are my friends or even i don't want.

well that's true quo banning indoor dining demonstrators demanded support from the government the report found that without help more than half of city restaurants will close forever and even some of the most iconic venues could shut for good this kind of mope and report. the coded night teen pandemic has been deadly for a society's most vulnerable even the big guns are not safe and for businesses it's no different here in new york city the latest victim is club 21 and i conduct establishment that is now shutting its doors the restaurant has been serving customers for a century there's been some big stars along the way such as novelist ernest hemingway tennis player john mcenroe as well as every sitting president since roosevelt except of course george w. bush and barack obama in light of them going global crisis and it dissipated extended recovery period for the hospitality industry the difficult decision was made that it will not be feasible to reopen the 21 club in its current form for the

forseeable future club 21 is not alone small businesses have been devastated some estimates say that as many as 50 percent of them could go under soon who is closing secular in this country my business is in holds no water walks no gallery openings and i can't even open my studio because therapeutic massage is so up close and personal i have only come back to about 40 percent of my previous clientele i am afraid that the gov will shut us down again which will be the end of my business i also believe the ruling elite does not care about small businesses. the new york state restaurant association made up of over 6000 operators has many who fear they won't make it through the next 6 months you carried everyone you know or every day and we were there some people we had a little bit of businesses we could do of these little bit more right we had to bring some people back to work and it's terrible to tell them but you know we give

them the you know hours of people working full time jobs. so we've heard. having told people that and i'm scared of my families i'm going to have a job you know a few months if there is nothing because we will be shutting down probably by more that's a realistic look right now $552000000000.00 was provided as a bailout to small businesses during the pandemic however a big chunk of that went to major corporations tied to big banks not the little guys who are struggling to stay afloat meanwhile those that are still open for trade are facing even tougher restrictions that one bar owner in los angeles was fighting back tears and anger when mayor eric garcetti closed down her outdoor patio and just across the way a hollywood movie set had outdoor dining all set up town but this is dangerous. but right next to me as a slap in my face. that

face politicians love to praise small businesses but is the whole game rigged it seems like when we finally emerge from this pandemic we might as well have dined out sheerest and said farewell to our favorite local spots caleb mop and artsy new york who here is minnesota better i will but for now for this update of the news we brought you over the last 7 days i'm kevin though in reporting from moscow what have you doing today stay safe well and enjoy the rest you weekend.

oh. you can look silly. little mom. it isn't my window i. modeled. his face this would appear to.

me. yeah. but if you're bush. that they wish and the wolf austins when you could do that if you have one. that i would do to meet you up with all. the shoes in most of the people machine and you. did you spoke of the 2 young girls well my yeah but in the. middle of the. help but i told them as they chased to a birth that the sawyer the world they had this in the point that is so well cookie is certainly this own choice meaning that it's all nudists are up with the certain style. question you need to do we will go ye.

for the question will. they must pay for this game was limited reply was only what pulls that piece you moved uneasily up last in the couple of study you me doing and skim the unisys from of course those when you read the poem mr it's a nice thought i just know usually yes but also i was out of it still the chip we did was i could put a notice it is so low. on the puter we didn't but i'm worth the price live in that it when you might just throw up last year was just going you know it's eat that means a special rush that if it only bought them and then i can do that those i do it for us to possibly have been that's what i want the story but it states that she didn't see me but i didn't want one on the system or as a committee up and vote.
