look at that happen every single day. there's a history of the u.s. . a major development in the julius sands case as america of peel's britain's decision not to extradite to the us despite growing calls for president biden to drop the case against wiki leaks. washington has sold more than a 1000000 barrels of iranian oil seized in raids on vessels with much more potentially on the way too but questions he's actually getting the money from. the new york governor's administration comes from the rising pressure of a massive underground porting of death and. we speak to the daughter of the victim . everything that the

ever is going on with that. to their political advantage. good morning from russia this is art international with me kevin no instead of the morning's headlines in more detail and starting with this key moment for the wiki leaks julian assange and his bid for freedom the u.s. has filed an appeal against a british court decision not to extradite him is despite a petition sent to the u.s. justice department demanding that president biden drop the case altogether signatories include rights groups like amnesty international and the american civil liberties union. indictment of mr sanchez threatens press freedom because much of the conduct described in the indictment is contact that journalists routinely and that they must engage in in order to do the work the public needs them to do in our view such a precedent in this case could effectively criminalize common journalistic practices

so in a ruling that many didn't anticipate a british judge blocked to silence his extradition over concerns for his mental health nevertheless days later he was still denied bail and media freedom groups were also dismayed at the judge largely supporting america's case against the whistleblower america's indicted him on 17 counts of spying and one of conspiracy to hack a government computer he faces up to 175 years in prison if found guilty exposed to what some of characterized as u.s. war crimes were simpler and former cia analyst john kiriakou told us convicting a son would pose a threat to journalism in his view. you know this is not unusual actually even in my own case amnesty international and the american civil liberties union asked the obama administration to drop the case on me and they would even discuss it they don't want to look weak and at the same time they really don't have respect for the wishes of these human rights groups and civil liberties groups i agree that the

justice department does not think this is about press freedom i think it is about press freedom but the justice department refuses to acknowledge that julian assange is a journalist were a publisher but i think the real disappointment here and the real danger here is the fact that mainstream journalists in the mainstream media especially organizations like the new york times the washington post the wall street journal have not come out in support of julian assange stats where the dangerous because of julian assange is convicted then any reporter in america doing his or her job is in danger of being charged with espionage for publishing information that is embarrassing to the u.s. government. the u.s. a sold more than a 1000000 barrels of raney an oil scenes last year as part of washington sanctions program while another vessel with to runs into set to crude also is on the way to

sell to american poets and more on the way the sages of become standard practice for the u.s. as punishment for to runs alleged nuclear plants washington claims all income generated will go to funds for victims of state sponsored terrorism but makes little quarter looks at who will actually get that money. need not idea for a side hustle put sanctions on a country pirate its oil exports and sell it that's what the us did with a 1000000 barrels of iranian oil seized under its sanction regime last year and suffice it to say there were some handsome profits to be made while the value of the seized fuel has not been announced compared to european gasoline prices the sale could equate to tens of millions of dollars while washington says the revenue will be used for the greater good the u.s. victims of state sponsored terrorism fund cording to its website victims are embassy workers who were held hostage in iran in 1989 and anyone who won a lawsuit against those who the u.s. considers state sponsors of terror but who exactly are these people has anyone ever

seen them we're talking about tens of millions of dollars here don't worry until we find out who gets the money washington says it will be safely in the hands of government agencies and as for what effect this all has on iran the world's 4th largest oil reservoir taran claims it's not flinching in the face of u.s. sanctions. to the enemy and trump one of us to perish and our experts to reach the room we set the highest record of vax ports in the history of the will industry during the embargo period still the country is fighting tooth and nail to get those sanctions lifted and revive the iran nuclear deal which the trumpet ministration pulled out of in 2018 biden though seems no more willing to cooperate than his predecessor will the us lift sanctions 1st in order to get iran back to the negotiating table. now the international court of justice is claiming it has jurisdiction over iran challenging u.s. sanctions the same ones that were imposed under former president donald trump but

washington is telling the court to mind its own business and why not for he who controls the seas it's a never ending feast of someone else's oil and mountains of profit. international oil economists talk to mom to sell them a told us such u.s. actions undermine its great power status. that's still it's. imperial sanctions there's a general sale pelosi there are these sanctions and certainly has the intel national know where 32 lou that. jurisdiction. down is. really all of this sort of little mess. america has run its world and of course that will happen if you ask a question that will be united states and. the right.

if there is. the i'll sell me something which sells the end of response i'm going to serve but i think it is ill suited for. the response agreement is. you your lawmakers are demanding an investigation after a leaked message suggested the governor's top aide admitted withholding the correct figures on care home covert death basically we froze because then we were in the position where we were unsure if what we were going to give to the department of justice was going to be used against us while we weren't sure if there was going to be an investigation the scandal escalated 2 weeks ago when the new york attorney general's report accused the cuomo administration of undercounting covert deaths in nursing homes where some 50 percent the state health department then revealed nearly 4000 previously reported victims who'd later died in hospital or another

facility we go reaction from vivian sayas who lost her mother to covert in a new york care home. the sad part is that they used our seniors and everything that they it was going on with the death that death toll to their political advantage they were covering up for in order to remain in power and in that's that's a travesty that they did that not only to seniors but it to their loved ones when we've been calling from mines for answers electron ability and all we we've been met with insults and with stonewalling so we're happy that this is starting to come out and we just believe this is that step of the dice. the senior adviser promised to probe but played the trumpet ministration for what it presented as a politically motivated smear attempt of incise against as an unbiased probe is essential to find out the truth the reality is that we needed an independent investigation with subpoena power to be able to get to the communications that were happening before the election if they're going to play political football with our

seniors and with this information then we're still not hopeful that they'll be held accountable governor cuomo this press conferences has said who cares where the seniors died we care we continue to say that we care where they died we care where they died and we hear how they died. in lawyers have written an open letter warning the government's code restrictions erode the law as they fail to 1st 'd get parliamentary approval for the whole we spoke to one of the signatories what we have criticised is the fact that the coverage measures in belgium the create by ministerial decree we think is the restrictions on fundamental liberties shouldn't be decided by parliament by way of the law an act of parliament that is the proper way to deal with that sort mentions. restrictions still in place include a night curfew across the country bars and restaurants remain shut while even

visits to the homes of family and friends are bad citizens must also go shopping alone and work from home wherever possible in the letter the belgian lawyers added the lack of political legitimacy gives quote perfect grounds for public unrest which the country's repeatedly suffered through the law the government insists it will put a pandemic law in to parliament sometime soon but the lawyer we spoke to says this shouldn't of dragged on so long and should have been done a long time ago. we know one year from the start of the pandemic and we think the government sufficient time to put in place a new piece of legislation that could replace the urgent ones and the provisional could be taken in march so it is it is sad to see that this house has not happened we live under the rule of law and we want the rule of law to prevail in all

circumstances also also in particularly difficult situations like the crisis we're going to now that is what i am concerned. portugal's extending coverage restrictions to at least next month as the number of victims remains worryingly high but inspiring stories of people battling through help at the races spirit lovely story coming up to speed later in the program. this next though to paris police officer said to be charged over violence and a yellow vest protest in 2091 was believed to have fired the stun grenade that left activist jerome rodriguez blind in one eye but regas told us his injury was just the start of government led attacks. i joined the political opposition at least in relation to mark rowlands policies considering what is happening in many countries it is obvious that they are trying to silence me it is not only about a bullet or a grenade as

a result of which i lost an eye on january 26th and 2019 but also about everything that followed the pressure i was subjected to subsequent problems accusations that were brought forward against me from the government or certain ministers and assembly members awarding us from these pages disturbing the captures the moment after rodriguez was hit in the thousands were injured in the yellow vest mass rallies for economic justice that broke out in 28 a study found 5 protesters lost hands from being hit by police munitions 30 were pushed partially blinded the number of disciplinary proceedings of violence by officers rose dramatically.

in march 29th the u.n. human rights commission called for a probe into possible use of excessive force by french police during the yellow vest protests the government rejected the accusations at the time with president mccollum calling him an acceptable however then prime minister edward felipe admitted mistakes and law enforcement handling of the rallies but the roma drinkers again says it's the lack of action from authorities in his view that's even worse than police brutality. you know when officials talk about us mentally retarded on live television you also need to be able to deal with that that has

lasted 2 years and of course there is no way i can fight back against that the pressure that these people the government the state put on me personally and on my family cost me much more harm than the police who gallops to my out. reduce health services under fire for adopting new gender neutral language rules at this time the world's going through the pandemic the priorities right now what how serious it is what we gauge opinion about it after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you.

3 headed vigilante coming our way the bond vigilantes are coming back and drug dealers shorting bonds down. is going to try to force. like we saw in 1903. the bond vigilantes back he's talking about gold. others just a gold. coin vigilantes have been here since 2009. they're growing exponentially now and the price of course as it goes under a trillion this year 2021 it'll be worth more than 4 trillion so those are the 3 vigilantes that are now coming for the dollar the dollar is just sitting ducks.

the u.k. national health service faces condemnation from many sides over its new gender neutral language requirements while something the pandemics hardly the time for a huge politically correct overhaul even was meant to benefit such as trans groups a critical of the timing. do you think the national health service in a country in lockdown in the middle of the you grading pandemic would have other things to do than go on a rampage of political correctness but no you'd be wrong in fact here's a list of the new lingo you need to brush up on. and i just trust has come up with a roadmap to inclusive it and apparently this is just the start fast off so many

revelations so tons out that all those people since the very beginning of time who thought they had breasts the word must this wrong man could easily have been doing the midnight chest feeding all these years out of a robot to be a row way ahead of his time but irony of ironies this trans friendly policy didn't even win over all the people it specifically set out to include this is an absolutely classic case of a public sector institution trying to be woke and succeeding only in 1000 lives much harder for the very people on whose behalf and presumes to speak of the 34000000 in the u.k. who identify as one well they were not impressed. excuse me how is raising women's words to describe their lives experience anything other than exclusive i breastfed my children with milk from my breasts not from my chest my

chest contains my heart and lungs i can see how soon breastfeeding our fans anyone enough of removing women women exist we menstruate give birth and have breasts can we keep our terminology for sanders was just the cherry on top of the gender fluid biology question in cake big by woke warriors and companies terrified of being canceled i meet a few years back the sanitary products crowd always remove the female gender symbol so that trans man what does it feel dysphoric theatres no longer ask a decent job to learn to take their seats mellow female toilets are so out self selection facilities are in i don't want shows a muslim abortion the female and male categories exam how else is non-binary sam smith supposed to when everything so you are no more murder never women no more chair manal manholes certainly no man kind is the love that's

going to change the future of mankind so we like you to work with we like to see people coming not necessarily mankind well i'm just waiting to hear what j.k. rowling says about with us i mean she's got nothing to lose really sure he suggested that people who menstruate all women imagine and you can't be cancelled twice. that's a good tailor facebook spring compared to big brother after admitting it showed private data of the alleged to us capital rioters the social media journalist as close to quote cooperated with law enforcement to hand over messages from those who allegedly broke into the seat of government on gender the 6. we were monitoring this out in real time and made appropriate referrals to law enforcement this includes helping them identify people who posted photos of themselves from the scene even after the attack was over we're continuing to share more information with law enforcement in response to valid legal requests as they continue their

investigation number one snitch in america big brother is facebook surreal farce is holding of the capitol building it's already seen a reported 221 people charged in facing up to 20 years in jail democratic party officials and media are calling the offenders domestic terrorist the f.b.i.'s identifying suspects with the help of more than 200000 photos and videos mostly from online social networks and that's not going without consequences for facebook the tech giant has lost more than $30000000000.00 in market value with investors spooked by the platforms coziness right now with the f.b.i. analyst and commentator earl rasmussen warns innocent people could well have been caught up in the sweep. a lot of people don't realize i mean a lot of your. your data is why don't you know the thing is that. facebook

changes your policy and what may have been acceptable. 6 months ago may not today and in they may come back and go oh you did this and that's against our policy so we're banning for most people i would say hundreds of thousands of people really did nothing illegal whatsoever there you had if you had some absolutely but but the majority of people in fact some people that are being turned in and turned over investigator were not in the capitol they were perhaps on the capitol grounds but that's a completely equally well until recently completely legal and open and public space so there was really no violation of any type of war whatsoever but we kind of twisted that and interpreted differently and facebook seems to be and i would gather other social media platforms are turning over extensive amount of information and probably you've probably got a lot of business probably review of

a lot of c.c.t.v. drone footage is or other types of video information is probably being looked at as well. you're paying police agency you're oppose assisted in the arrest of 10 hakas suspect to the stealing $100000000.00 in crypto currency the queues allegedly used a process called sim swapping to get access to victims phones. the attacks orchestrated by this criminal gang targeted thousands of victims throughout 2020 including famous internet influencers sports stars musicians and their families the criminals are believed to have stolen from them over 100000000 u.s. dollars in crypto currency s. after illegally gaining access to their phones sim swapping of also tricking a phone company into deactivating a sim card and then transferring its functions to one controlled by hack is written the u.s. belgium ulta canada all took part in the probe subsequently expert told the such

attacks of sold in the pandemic. in general what is important in fact we always should care about our privacy yes so whenever we perform transactions we're going to be throwing that kind of market but definitely very bumpy we need to use precise coalition precise wallets for example that could alter our good security solution in the privacy settings and different ways how we're able to use for example our where our money would pay for it to be so if we are getting into this kind of area it's definitely recommended to use the good reputation service that currently what we see is that for example during the pandemic attack they have brought by 569 percent which is a crazy amount to take into consideration what we have in a class that's meaning that the kurds are actually increasing that but the 6 because they speed of bali to do the odd and the follow for example within they run somewhere else so we can expect more of that question is are we prepared because
