i know it when i bought in my limit the other. headlines this hour a major development in the doing a sanch case american repels against britain's decision not to extradite was a blow it to the united states that despite growing calls for president biden to drop the case against the wiki leaks founder also to come washington has sold more than a 1000000 barrels of oil seized from a rain in tankers raising questions about who actually gets the money and the new york governor's administration comes under increasing pressure over massive under-reporting of care home deaths in the pandemic we speak to the daughter of the victim. the sad part is that the seniors and everything that the that what's going on with that death toll to their political advantage.

hello there good afternoon just gone 3 o'clock in moscow you're watching r.t. international now that has been a key development for wiki leaks founder julian assange engine his bid for freedom u.s. has filed an appeal against a british court decision not to extradite him despite a petition sent to the u.s. justice department demanding that president biden drops the case altogether signatories to include rights groups like amnesty international i mean american civil liberties union the indictment of mr assange threatens press freedom because much of the conduct described in the indictment is conducted jan the single routinely and 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. well in a ruling that many people didn't anticipate last month

a british judge blocked songes extradition over concerns for his mental health nevertheless days later he was still denied bail and media freedom groups are also dismayed to which the judge largely supported america's case against the whistleblower america has indicted him on 17 counts of spying and one of conspiracy to hack a government computer that has faced up to 175 years in prison if he's found guilty or signs exposed what some have characterized as u.s. war crimes whistleblower and former cia analyst john kiriakou told us convicting assigned would pose a threat to journalism. 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 assigns that's where the danger is 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. is sold more than a 1000000 barrels of oil that was seized from iranian tankers last year as part of washington sanctions program and another captured vessel is currently on its way to an american port well the sages have become standard practice for the u.s.

as punishment for terrans alleged nuclear plans washington claims all income generated will go to his fund for victims of state sponsored terrorism but is that really the case his don't court. 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 exports 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 and

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. but international economist talk to mamdouh salim a told us that actions like this actually undermine america's great power status well that's true its. imperial sanctions there's a general cerebellar see the essentials. has no internal national authority that really. you know is. generally a 2nd. rate of this sort of. i'm going to kind of move around it's well and of course that will happen if the u.s. coalition with the united states and. the right. if there is. certainly. the

end of response are going to serve but i think it is ill suited to. the response agreement is for us. lawmakers demanding an investigation after leak message jested a top aide of the new york governor admitted withholding the correct figures on covert deaths in care homes basically were 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 were assured there was going to be an investigation but the scandal escalated 2 weeks ago when the new york attorney general's report accuse the cuomo ministration of undercounting deaths in nursing homes by some 50 percent the state health department then revealed nearly 4000 previously unreported victims who had later died in hospital or at another facility

we got reaction from live in say a single mother to cope with in a new york care home. you know 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 to their loved ones when we've been calling from mines for answers and accountability 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. where senior cuomo adviser did promise an investigation but blame the trumpet ministration for what it presented as a politically motivated smear campaign if you can say it again says a number by a surprising business sensual to reveal the truth the reality is that we needed 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 in this press conference is has said who cares where the seniors died we care we continue to say that we care where they died we hear where they died and we hear how they died. how elsewhere senior belgium noirs have written an open last have warning that the government there is sorry the government's covert restrictions there to erode the bill because they failed to get parliamentary approval 1st we spoke to one of the signatories what we have criticized is the fact that the covert measures in. the create by ministerial decree we think of the restrictions on fundamental liberties shouldn't be decided by parliament by way of the rule an active part of it that is

the problem to deal with that sort mentions. well restrictions still in place include a nighttime curfew across the country bars and restaurants remain shut while even visits to the homes of family and friends are banned citizens must also go shopping alone and work from home whenever possible but in their letter belgian lawyers added that the lack of political legitimacy gives perfect grounds for public unrest something the country has repeatedly suffered through the lockdown the government insists that it will put a pandemic law in parliament however the lawyer we spoke to says this should have been done a long time ago. we know one year from the start of the program nick we think the government had sufficient time to put in place a new piece of legislation that could replace the urgent ones and the provisional ones that could be taken in march so it is it is sad to see that this has not

happened we lived 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. meanwhile portugal is sending covert restrictions to at least next month the number of victims remains worryingly high but inspiring stories of people backing 3 are helping to raise spirits a little bit we'll have a look at one of those a bit later in the program. to paris police officers are set to be charged over violence at a yellow fest protest in $2191.00 is believed to 5 the stun grenade that left activist your own rodriguez blind in one eye has told us that his injury was just the start of a government led attack. more uppity i joined the political opposition at least in relation to my crohn's policies considering what is happening in many

countries it is obvious that they are too. 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 in $29.00 teams but also about everything that followed the pressure i was subjected to the subsequent problems accusations that were brought forward against me from the government or certain ministers and assembly members i find this video disturbing because it does capture the moment afterwards as was hit in the eye thousands were injured in the yellow vests mass rallies for economic justice that broke out in 2018 a study found that 5 protesters lost from being hit by police munitions on 30 partially blinded a number of disciplinary proceedings for violence by officers rose dramatically. i. believe.

or 2 years ago the un human rights commission called for a probe into the possible use of excessive force by french police during the protests however the government rejected the accusations with president macron calling them unacceptable although then prime minister wood for the pay did admit that law enforcement had made mistakes in handling the rallies drummer guess again says the lack of action from authorities is even worse than police brutality. if

you did you you know when officials talk about you as mentally retarded on live television you also need to be able to deal with that since 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 my out. would you be watching i see still to come see the sad britain's health service is on the fight for adopting gender neutral language for rules during the pandemic we'll have a look at the story because of his take on a couple of us. join me every 1st day on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to get us through the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

we'll get a 3 headed vigilante coming our way you got the bond vigilantes are coming back they're stranded drug dealers shorting bonds now it means that he is going to try to force bond collapse like we saw in 1993 so the bond vigilantes back big he's talking about gold then so are others just a golden jewel auntie's and the big point vigilantes i've been here since 22009. and they're growing exponentially now in the price of course as it goes under a trillion in this year 2021 it'll be worth more than 4 trillion so those are the 3 headed vigilantes that are now coming for the dollar the dollar is just sitting ducks.

with r.t. now the u.k.'s national health service faces condemnation from many sides at the moment over its new gender neutral language requirements while some think that the pandemic is hardly the time for a huge politically correct overhaul even those meant to benefit such as trans groups a critical of the timing saskia taylor expects. do you think the national health service in a country in lockdown in the middle of a you raging 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 increase of 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 were no mark this wrong man could easily have been doing the midnight chest feeding all these years out of the rubble 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 making life much harder for the very people on whose behalf it presumes to speak and the 34000000 in the u.k. who identify as one well they were not impressed excuse me housing racing women's words to describe their lives experience anything other than

exclusive i breastfed my children with milk from my breast not from my cast my test contains my heart and lungs a concious house seen breastfeeding affronts anyone enough of removing women women exist when menstruates give birth and have breasts can we keep our terminology for son this 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 these summits you product always remove the female gender symbol so that trans man would feel dysphoric theatres no longer asked to learn to take their seats mellow female toilets are so out self selection facilities are in i don't want shows are abolishing the female and male categories exam how else is non-binary sam smith supposed to when everything so you know more men never women no more chair man will manholes me no man kind is the

love that's going to change the future of mankind so we are like you till what we are really just people coming not necessarily current well i'm just waiting to hear what j.k. rowling says about rufus i mean she's got nothing to lose really sure he suggested that people who menstruate all women in margin and you can't be cancelled twice. facebook is being compared to big brother after admitting it shared private data of the alleged us capital rioters the social media giant disclosed that cooperated with law enforcement to one day the messages from those who were allegedly broke into the seat of government on january 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 in america big brother is facebook surreal farce well the storming of the capitol building has already seen a reported 220 people charged i'm facing up to 20 years in jail democratic party officials the media are calling the offenders domestic terrorists and the f.b.i. is identifying suspects with the help of more than 200000 photos and videos mostly from online social networks and that's not gone without consequence though for trace but because the take giant has lost more than $30000000000.00 in market value with investors spooked by the platform's coziness with the f.b.i. analyst and commentator on warns that innocent people could have been caught up to in the sweep. a lot of people don't realize i mean a lot of your position on facebook your date is wide open the other thing is that.

facebook changes your policy and what may have been acceptable. 6 months ago may not today and and 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 capital they were perhaps on the capitol grounds but that's 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've kind of twisted that and interpret it 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. in other news today 38 people and are confirmed dead after himalayan place broke off and destroyed the dam causing devastating floods still left 200 people missing this is the moment a fast moving mix aborter and rock smash through northern india environmental activists have criticised government claims it was a freak accident saying that they have warned for decades that industrial development of the territory was arranging a mountain range arties going underground house afshin rattansi spoke to an award winning environmentalist from the area show you the full interview 3 of the day here in our team is also available at r.t. dot com but his is a taste of what we're saying. what have you made of this dreadful tragedy in the himalayas involving
