that happens every single day this is a history of the us. america. the headlines in r.t. america appeals against britain's decision not to extradite junior songe to the united states despite growing calls for president biden drop the case against the wiki leaks founder also this washington has sold more than a 1000000 barrels of oil seeds from rain in tankers raising questions about who actually gets the money and the new york governor's ministration comes under increasing pressure over massive under-reporting of care home deaths during the pandemic we speak to the daughter of a victim. the sad part is that they used our seniors and everything that the it was going on but that death toll to their political advantage.

hello there is 4 o'clock here in moscow you're watching international now the u.s. has filed an appeal against a british court decision not to extradite gina sanch us despite a petition sent to the u.s. justice department demanding that the case is dropped altogether signatories include the rights groups like amnesty international and the american civil liberties union. indictment of mr sanch threatens press freedom because much of the conduct described in the indictment is conduct 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 . last month in a ruling that surprised many a british judge brought to stand his extradition over concerns for his mental health over the less days later he was still denied bail and media freedom groups

were also dismayed as 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 he faces up to 175 years in prison if he's found guilty well it's expose what some have characterized as u.s. war crimes whistleblower and former cia analyst john kiriakou told us that convicting a songe 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. now the u.s. says so with more than a 1000000 barrels of oil that was seized from iranian tankers last year is part of washington's sanctions program and another captured vessel is currently on its way to an american port that the seizures have become standard practice for the u.s. as punishment for terrans alleged nuclear plans washington claims all income generating the case is 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. the enemy undrunk one of us to perish and 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 known 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. quarter there were international oil economists talk to mamdouh salim

a told us that actions like this still undermine america's great power status. that still its. imperial sanctions as a general cerebellar see these sanctions and serial has no real internal national where 32 knew that really a. euro is ditch around and generous with all of this sort of little red and blue granted there are other countries around it. and of course that will happen if you ask a russian with the united states and in their own lives the right. it is a strange behavior i'll say i'm a country which sells the end of response i'm going to serve but i think it is ill suited to bear. the responsibility is there a little

a farce. will make is the man doing an investigation are for a message to jest a top aide of the new york governor admitted withholding the correct figures on koby deaths in care homes. 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 were assured there was going to be an investigation well the scandal escalated 2 weeks ago when the new york attorney general to report accused the cuomo ministration of undercounting deaths in the nursing homes by some 50 percent the state health department then revealed nearly 4000 people previously reported victims who had later died in hospital or at another facility we got reaction from vivian say us who lost her mother to come of it in a new york. you know the sad part is that they used our seniors and everything that

they it was going on with death that death toll to their political advantage they were covering up for in order to remain in power and that's that's a travesty that they did that not only to seniors but to their loved ones when we've been calling for a monster electron ability and all we we've been met with insults ringback and with stonewalling so we're happy that this is starting to come out and we just believe this is that ship of the dice. when a senior cuomo promised an investigation but blame the trump ministration for what it presented as a politically motivated smear campaign. against says they were numb bias probe is essential 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 this press conferences has said who cares where the seniors died we care we continue to say that we care where they died here where they died and we hear how they died. in wasin you know as in belgium have written and i'm warning that the government restrictions there are eroding the normal because they fail to get parliamentary approval 1st we spoke to one of the signatories. what we have criticized is the fact that the covert measures in belgium have been created by ministerial decree we think the restrictions on the fundamental liberties shouldn't be decided. by the law an active part of it that is the proper way to deal with that sort of measures . but restrictions still in place still 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 well in their less said the lawyers added that the lack of political entity missing gives perfect grounds for public unrest something the country has repeatedly suffered throughout the lockdown the government insists it will put a pandemic law in parliament however the lawyer we spoke to says that this should have been done a long time ago. we all know one year from the start of the pandemic we think. governments are hard sufficient time to put in place a new piece of legislation that could replace the urgent ones and the provisional votes 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 extending code restrictions to at least next month the number of victims remains very high there but inspiring stories of people battling 3 while helping to raise spirits will have a look at why and in a few minutes to. see paris police officers a set to be charged over violence at yellow vests protests in 2019 what is believed to have fired the stun grenade that left activist gets blind in one eye he told us his injuries is just the start of a government led attack. the more uppity 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 in $29.00 teams 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 you might find this video disturbing because it captures the moment after intrigue as was hit in the eye thousands were injured in the yellow vest mass rallies for economic justice that broke out in 2018 a study found that 5 protesters lost hands from being hit by police munitions on thursday but partially blinded a number of discipline proceedings for violence by offices dramatically. i think. i would like to.

go to years ago the un human rights commission called for a probe into the possible use of excessive force by french police during the process however the government rejected those accusations but president macro calling them unacceptable with the then prime minister edward philippe did admit law enforcement had made mistakes in handling the rallies. again says that the lack of action from authorities is even worse than police brutality. if you did 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. were just. even britain's health services on the 5 for adult gender neutral language truly strong the pandemic but how to get the story just off the.

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 on off and spearing dramatic development the only move really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

hello again as the u.k.'s national health service faces condemnation from many sides at the moment over its new gender neutral language requirements are something you think that the pandemic is hardly the time for a huge politically correct overhaul even those meant to benefit such as trans groups are critical of the timing. explains. 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 word mark this little 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 my public sector institutions trying to be woke and succeeding only in making life much harder for the very people on whose behalf with 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 chest test

contains my heart and lungs conceive how 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 eat isn't trying 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 in the female and male categories because i know how well says non-binary sam smith supposed to when everything so you know more man 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'd like you to look what we are really just the people coming not necessarily 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 imagine and you can't be canceled twice when you're. facebook is being compared to big brother after admitting it shared private data of the alleged u.s. capitol rioters social media giantesses closely cooperated with law enforcement to hand over messages from those who allegedly broke into the seat of government last month. 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 story of course the storming of the capitol building has already seen a reported 221 people charged facing up to 20 years in jail democratic party officials and 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 but that's not gone without consequence for facebook because the tech giant has lost more than $30000000000.00 in market value with investors by the platform's coziness with the f.b.i. analyst and commentator and warns that instant people too could have been caught up in the sweep. a lot of people don't realize i mean a lot of your question on facebook your date is why don't the other 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 betting 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 on and turned over investigator were not in the capital they were perhaps on the capitol grounds but that completely equally well till 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 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 years or other types of video information is probably being looked at

as well. 38 people have been confirmed dead for him elaine tracey a brain call from destroyed the dam causing devastating floods the i left almost 200 people missing this is the moment a fast moving makes a board smash through northern india and bar mental activists who criticised government claims it was a freak accident saying they've warned for decades that industrial development of the territory was arranging the mountain range last he's going underground host afshin rattansi to speak to an award winning environmentalist from the area we'll show you the full interview threat that day and also on our website but here's a taste of what was said. both of you made of this dreadful tragedy in the himalayas involving a. well you know i am from this region of of the rack and with again she starts

i became a volunteer for should call a decade we fought and we stopped the luck but in the damn building started and in 2013 there was a disaster raunch bigger this one has lost a few lives and 200 people are missing the 2013 disaster and get that out was. nearly 610-0000 missing and we did a very g.t.s. study there were tunnels where dynamite it was being blasted all of them had related projects and all the muck from these tunnels was being dumped into the river so at that point we realized there are 3 things much. climate disaster because the glaciers are melting lakes are forming a mad development just asked of thinking the fragile mountains can take all the wilds of a war and the current disaster. deregulation disaster which is you.

just give me what it what money they want you and there's no liability there is no responsibility. some world news in brief now and offices of fire water cannon riots against police brutality in the city university are going protesters heard hold projectiles that will force an vehicles and block roads by setting street objects on fire the protest was triggered by last week's police killing of a 27 year old who refused an identity check. here in moscow we are suffering the heaviest snow falls in 40 years with weather experts warning more severe weather could still be ahead for the russian capital traffic has been paralyzed and flights grounded by a snowstorm than traditional dances and lantern shows have marked the lunar new year in china people held colorful parades to celebrate opening year the opening of the year of the op ex brazil those called off its vast iconic annual carnival amid
