you know with artificial intelligence will something to. protect its own existence. in a recap of the top stories of the week just gone it was revealed the u.s. state department was actually born by. massive leaks of documents prompting calls now that for washington to pardon the wiki leaks founder. elsewhere the turkish president hit out of washington for sanctions imposed over a 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 a former military chief assassinated by the us this year gave an emotional 1st

interview to us about revealing how she learned of her father's murder. on the t.v. and i saw his picture. i. found that they tell nym's. it's so hard to believe. and renowned flossed 1st. explain to me in 5 why he believes corona virus means that our world will never be the same again. hi there live from moscow this sunday one welcome to the weekly with me kevin owen with the break up of some of the big stories as you heard there that we brought you over the last 7 days things taken the time. check in with us this 1st the head of

wiki leaks confirming the authenticity of a recording that could be a game changer for julia sanj and 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 the sons wanted to endanger lives this is what kristen have france and told us in an exclusive interview in the week 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's basically the argument that is in the narrative for the justice department in their indictment and they are trying to use it to get a much of a lovely u.k. you know talking about irresponsible behavior and putting lives at risk following

the revelations more than 400000 people around the world signed a petition calling on washington to drop the charges against the sanj politicians and activists want donald trump to pardon him before the outgoing president leaves office next month so this could tailor reported on it. 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 the high tech terrorist this disclosure is not just an attack on america's foreign policy interests it is an attack on the international community wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service is a narcissist who has created nothing of value he relies 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 that sells a new t released tape has revealed a song to 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 believe we've. become public. maybe

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 disguise. traitor a treasonist i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death i don't want to do it illegally shoot the son of a done great discredit to this nation should be assassinated he should be treated as an enemy combatant with you should be closed down permanently and decisively no instead we hear a song trying to protect those in washington the very same who now want to send him down so life. having. people here incidents more and more. we have been calling. them to the embassy. every day trying to train. 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 will be extradited to the u.s. 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 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 any possible harm to this i have no idea why this was not followed through and they took up the offer of the help 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 doubt is the cove it's impacted all our lives in one way or another and in an article for r.t. dot com in the week renowned philosophers leverage egypt said there will be no

return to normal once the pandemic is over is a ses it so i want to know more arses levine in academic to expand on what he meant why he told me 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 would be so much smarter but a lot cheaper and the same damn 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 an already desperate enjoyment like let's enjoy it while he lasts who knows what will happen i did a virus she's waiting to die. or so that although i am far measures low down and. many use d.c.

took established major museums both their own and. lebanon into what i call a post human state of being totally. me on the horizon even the prospect of so why our brain our minds process recently been dealing. with doesn't need to be i'm not exaggerating here and you. think we should. have. that we learned from. apes date me. going to. try your. interest and point to day science to seriously yes these possibilities open but they're by

gaming but they're all in the being that many many millions of go easy deny science just isolated the one with. the same. shells are going to go along me and most of them are me. and you can have. all these new all. in the week speaking to us will support you this expose a drug smuggling has been rising massively and the drug dealers now controlling swathes of the german capital our sister channel r.t. german took a hidden camera the 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 and they started grabbing me i called the police but they arrived too late so i gave a statement but nothing has changed. and. 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 so 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 freestyle 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 the acting the africans are acting out it's going to suck cock and trying to make a living but they're not alone. 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. clown activities. who are dominating certain areas and. 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. in her 1st of a t.v. interview the daughter of iran's former top military chief gave an emotional description of when she found did the u.s. assassinated general cause some sort of money in a drone strike in january son of solomon he also speaks about the water consequences of a father's death if you haven't seen it yet we want to you can see the full interview with dot com many time i got so shocked and full 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 wonder events 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 depart 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

a generosity of 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 our people are united and they will stand in front of such a dangerous powers. this is big news too in the last 7 days the u.s. imposing sanctions on turkey over its purchase of russia's 400 surface to air missile system an angry president there once said he thought washington was a friend it of a view not just a nato member it is being applied against our country for the 1st time what kind of an alliance is this if 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 went on to say too that he wasn't surprised. your solution 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 us or thora t. on the international arena where it is a responsible participant in the international division of labor including military and technical cooperation. has bought the s $400.00 system last year and the trumpet ministrations been threatening to punish turkey ever since over it claiming

the russian system is a danger to nato istanbul based political analyst spoke to us he says there were and has got plenty of ways to retaliate though if he so chooses 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 asymmetrical the various unilaterally certainly will try to reciprocate and complicate things for the united states bilateral relations and american activity in the region as well you can alter the seat by us whether it is turkey to cease producing parts for the f. $35.00 there's american presence that is there to guarantee american presidents that should it you can read our station but i don't care if you will take any very aggressive steps right now especially with a new way to ministry should come again we've already seen the turkish president called for a review of the sanctions where he told being that they could be lifted or going

forward thanks take the towns watch t.v. those big choice and this we appreciate all the more this is the thing the last 24 hours london is rushing to get out of the capital ahead of those tough new rules to fold and the disturbing developments with the covert virus itself we look at the broader covert response across the continent to all to come after this break. join me every posting on the alex sullivan show and i'll be speaking to get from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

again so london is a scramble to get out of the capitol and what's being called the biggest evacuation

since world war 2 after the city announced a new extra strict lockdown from saturday night people even jumped into a hugely expensive taxis in some places to get there the side of the country to save their christmas freedom as it's been revealed a 70 percent more infectious corona virus strain spreading fast. it will 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 as planned 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 well get even worse across the continent in germany a strict new lockdown was also introduced this week with records being set there 'd for the number of new covert cases but the problem goes even wider too as our

europe correspondent reports next. the christmas lockdown period is a policy here in germany 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 it 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 and they actually destroyed our sector by making us close our stablish 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 at cultural venues protest a shutdown on their places of work i did i was. 'd 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. an official investigation into sweden's coronavirus strategy has found that stock 0 must take the blame for its high death rate prompting the swedish prime minister to put out a statement saying the country its tactics of role. 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 this year 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 the early. hundreds of restaurant workers rallied in

central new york this week of the new city looked almost to actions came into force there which protest as war will force most of the business. to your parents through . what you are trying to refer to our friends or even on where you were after governor andrew cuomo banned indoor dining demonstrators demanded more support from the government report found that without help well then half of the city restaurants could close forever and even some of the most iconic venues may have to shut shop as caleb maupin discovered in the week. 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 kind of 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 rosa . belt except of course george w. bush and barack obama in light of the going global crisis and anticipated 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 gold is closing secular in this country my business is on hold no watch 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 it's carried everyone every day and we there are some people we have a little bit of business we can do that of these 2 little bit more right we had to bring some people back to work and it's terrible to tell them that it will give them the you know hours people working full time jobs. so that hurts. having to tell people that and i'm scared of my families i'm going to have a job you know if you move if there is nothing because we will be shutting down probably by more that's the realistic look i would bring out $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. 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. kaleb mop and artsy new york. 22 on the that's over better in 2021 and soup let me just tell you that jackie vegas here in half now with more news updates from the last 7 days when the weekly comes back and callie break throughout the evening but for now reporting
