from. from. from. the from from. day moscow time in a recap of our top stories of the week just gone then it was revealed the u.s. state department was actually warned by julian assange massive leaks of documents prompting calls now then for washington to pardon the wiki leaks founder. turkish president hit out of washington for sanctions imposed over purchase of a russian missile defense system. what kind of an alliance is this this decision is an open attack on the sovereign rights of our country. the daughter of iran's former military chief assassinated by the us that she gave an emotional 1st interview to r.t. revealing how she learned her father's murder. when i turned on the t.v.

and i saw this picture and. i understand what happened and. from that they tell now i am still shocked a lot of what happened it's so hard to believe. spoke to us explain to me in fact why he believes coronavirus means the world will never be the same again. by their live from moscow this sunday well welcome to the program gives the weekly with me kevin 0 in a recap of some of the big stories we brought you over the last 7 days great you've taken the time out to watch just the so 1st there the wiki leaks confirming the authenticity of the recording that could be again changer for julian the sanj says

it could put the brakes on his extradition to the u.s. the audio seems to prove the whistleblower in fact tried to warn the state department about a mass breach of classified information back in 2011 appearing to be in stark contrast to washington's claims that his son's wanted to endanger lives this is what kristen her friends and told us in an exclusive interview. this evidence that you heard and i can confirm that this is authentic is not new to the courts in the u.k. a transcript of for this conversation was presented to the court in september well this should have a tremendous weight because it supposedly throws out the argument that is in the narrative for the justice department in their indictment and which they are trying to use now to get him actually lovely u.k. they are talking about irresponsible behavior and putting lives at risk following the revelations more than 400000 people around the world already signed a petition calling on washington to drop the charges against a songe politicians and activists want tunnel trump to pardon him before the

outgoing president leaves office next month suskind taylor reported. 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 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 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 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 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. i think over time. because. it came to. spread around. to. the degree that. we probably 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 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. having. people here is that it's more your problem. we have been calling. to and p.m.c. . every day trying to train. 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 allowed to be found and also help to remove them a decade on

a song just sitting in london's belmarsh prison waiting to hear whether it will be extradited to the us to face a potential $175.00 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 part in those who at great personal sacrifice to 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 goes you alone can save his life 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

part an unfit give a man who wanted to save washington from its shame time is. the essence for a sourness to avoid a life in jail assistance was offered to to stop this or mitigate any and impossible harm to this i have no idea why this was not to follow through and it took up the offer. to help the julian was was carefully and considerably. who worried in offering to set a problem the state department never came back to julian for more information and seem to have not done anything based on this warning. there's little doubt that coverts impacted all our lives in one way or another and in an article in the week for r.t. dot com bernard philosophers level dziedzic told us they'll be no return to normal once the pandemic is over in his view i asked le civilian then to expand on why he told me it's because the crisis is 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 explain think it's happening be so much smarter but a lot cheaper and the same time people are afraid lest they die to go all socialized and so it's no dispiriting dream and those now we have a bank and then already it's more enjoyment like let's enjoy and wait last who knows what will happen i did a virus she's waiting to die. or something you don't know i am for measures low down and. many just use decent book establish mechanisms of their own. so lebanon into what i. post human state of being totally. maybe then there is on the horizon even

the prospect of so why our brain our minds process he's maybe they're dealing so definitely i'm not exaggerating here then you. got me and then we should. have. set that we learned from. a. dead me. possible. second point to give you any details. over interest and point today science to seriously yes these possibilities open by the by the but they're all in the being that many many millions of go surely ses each deny science just isolated lately to go on with.

the same. shells are going to go on me right most of the me. and you can go after. all these new. and we expose a drug smuggling has risen massively in poland with drug dealers now controlling swathes of the german capital our sister channel r.t. german took a hidden camera that some of the most troubled areas of that city and this is what they found.

the intimidated me a well built young man came into my kiosk i told him to get out but he refused to and they started grabbing me i called the police but they arrived too late so i gave a statement but nothing has changed. it's an option 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 dose is $20.00 euros i give him the money and we go our separate ways.

the most important reason for this freestyle drug trafficking is a very lenient city government and they instructed police to turn a blind eye towards the drug dealers of gurlitz upchuck ethnic groups from africa most of them are rejected asylum seekers not deported according to the law the activate the africans are opting out of going to some poc and trying to make a living but they're not alone. immigrants looking for decent work but as i said most of them are rejected asylum seekers and should not be in this country secondly there are. clown activities. who are dominating certain areas and berlin their very very well organized and organized crime and. their word is the law and this happens not just in berlin but also in other cities in germany

. in the 1st of a t.v. interview the daughter of iran's former top military chiefs given an emotional description of when she found out he'd been murdered the u.s. assassinated general custom sort of money in a drone strike in january zine absalom money also speaks about the wider consequences if she sees of a father's death you can watch the full interview still adults he took home i got so shocked unfold stress like my heart was a tell now 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 a trump 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 still 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 the generosity money has a military from people that they will take revenge from and they are so wrong they are thinking this war will be end the end of generosity money this is the beginning of our people are united and they will stand in front of such a they just powers. this is big news in the wake of us

imposing sanctions on turkey over its purchase of russia's s. 400 surface to air missile system and angry president there one then said he thought washington was a friend just let you do 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's defense industry officials whose assets will be frozen and visas restricted russia's foreign minister says the move breaks international law but goes on to say too he wasn't surprised. or should. 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. the s $400.00 system last year the trumpet ministrations been threatening to punish turkey because of it ever since claiming russia's system is a danger to nato estable based political analyst youssef aram spoke to us about it in the week you said there were plenty of ways to retaliate though if he so chooses to. it's a huge snow because we see the americans saying that they want to give diplomacy a chance but throughout this whole s 400 process being acted very asymmetrical the various unilaterally certainly will try to reciprocate and complicate things for

the united states in need of bilateral relations and american activity in the region as well start you can also see by us whether they had turkey to cease producing parts for the f. 35 there's american presence in jersey there be an american president that should it you can read our station but i don't think turkey will take any very aggressive steps right now especially with the new administration coming 8 we've already seen the turkish president called for a review of the sanctions where he told being that they could be lifted or go forward. this weekend from bad to worse it seems london is now last night rushing to get out of the capital had a tough new law rules and a warning of an even more contagious strain making the rounds.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by. military thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this very dramatic developments only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

again so londoners scrambling to get out of the capital of what's been called the biggest evacuation since world war 2 after the city announced a new extra street from some of the night people even jumped on to pujol expensive taxis to try and get out of it to flee to the other side of the country to save the christmas freedom as it was revealed as well a 70 percent more infectious corona virus strains been spreading fast pym boris johnson earlier admitted it would be hard to enjoy the festive period as usual this year. given the early evidence we have on this new variant of the virus the potential risk it poses it is with

a very heavy heart i must tell you we cannot continue with christmas those planned johnson's word 2nd 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 focus on germany there are strict new lockdown was also announced this week with records being set there for the number of new covert cases but the problem is even wider to as peter oliver our europe correspondent reported back. 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 being for a 3rd wave of coronavirus. we saw that a 3rd wave had started to build before the 2nd one 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 own 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 or don't they actually destroyed our sector by making us clothes are established at 6 pm and blaming us for things they were guilty of instead. 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 at cultural venues 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 contacts to a minimum peter all of our party early. hundreds of restaurant workers rallied in central new york this week of new city locked on a strict since there came into force which protest as war will force most out of business. dr drew. what you want to try to refer to are my friends or even i don't we were after governor andrew cuomo banned indoor dining demonstrators demanded support from the government a report found a day that without help more than hoff of city restaurants will close forever and even some of the most iconic venues may have to shut to this kind of mope and

reported. 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 connick 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 the 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 2nd in this country my business is in holds no water 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 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 it will give them you know hours people working full time jobs. so the birds. having to tell people that and i'm scared of my families i'm going to have a job you know if you will 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 leave 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 emerged from this pandemic we might as well have dined out sheerest and said farewell to our favorite local spots. caleb martin artsy new york all for year a spring has no less so for better and 2021 soon and that's it for now more of the recap of the stories the last 7 days we brought you when i'm back in just over half an hour's time but for now reporting from artie's would use h q kevin i was signing off to keep safe and well i did join the rest of it we can . also post there was mention when you read of those lists nissho to show it just
