but every single day this is a history of the usa america. headlines an r.t. america appeals against britain's decision not to extradite julius sanj to the united states despite growing calls for president biden to drop the case against the wiki leaks founder also to come washington is sold more than a 1000000 barrels of oil seized from iranian tankers are 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 everything that the air was going on with that death toll to their political advantage.
9:01 am
oh good evening you watch night international this saturday just gone 5 o'clock here in moscow now the u.s. has filed an appeal against a british court decision not to extradite julian a son despite a petition sent to the u.s. justice department demanding that the case is dropped altogether signatories do include rights groups like amnesty international and the american civil liberties union the indictment of mr sanchez threatens press freedom because much of the conduct described in the indictment is contact the journal the single 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 . well last month in a ruling that did surprise many a british judge brought to songes extradition over concerns for his mental health
9:02 am
nevertheless 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 well america has indicted him on 17 counts of spying and one of conspiracy to hack a government computer you faces up to 175 years in prison if he's found guilty sounds expose what some have characterized as u.s. war crimes whistleblower and former cia analyst john kiriakou told us that convicting the signs 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
9:03 am
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 seldom 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 where the sages have become standard practice for the u.s. as punishment for terrans alleged plans washington playing zoning can generate and
9:04 am
we're not going to it's fun for victims of state sponsored terrorism but it's not we do the case don't cotton reports. even idea for a side hustle put sanctions on a country pirate its oil exports and sell it that's what the u.s. 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
9:05 am
government agencies and as for what effect this all has on iran the world's 4th largest oil reservoir to run 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 but washington is telling the court to mind its own business and why not for he who
9:06 am
controls the seas it's a never ending feast of someone else's oil and mountains of profit. when international oil economists talk to mom the son i'm a told is that they say actually undermine america's great power status. well that's true it's. the same shows there's a general cerebellar see the real essentials here as it has nothing on terror national authority to know that. you is rich and generous with all of this sort of little birds and. other kind of move around its world and of course that will happen yes coalition with the united states and. it is. certainly
9:07 am
a term from which. the end of response against. their client think it is ill suited to. the responsibility is. forced. now lawmakers demanding an investigation after leak message jested a top aide of the new york governor permitted 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 the scandal escalated 2 weeks ago when the new york attorney general's report accused the cuomo administration of undercounting coby deaths in nursing homes by some 15 percent the state health department then revealed nearly 4000 previously in reported victims who had later died in hospital or at another
9:08 am
facility we got reaction from vivian say this who lost her mother to cohabit in a new york care. 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 that to their loved ones when we've been calling from mons 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 the tip of the dice. when a senior adviser did promise an investigation but blame the trump of ministration for what it presented as a politically motivated smear campaign even though says a number by a surprise this is central to reveal the truth the reality is that we needed an independent investigation with subpoena power to be able to get to the
9:09 am
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 this 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. i will sway a senior lawyers in belgium have written in one panetta warning that the government's covert restrictions they're already getting the law because they fail to get parliamentary approval 1st we spoke to one of the signatures. what we have criticized is the fact that the coverage measures in belgium have been decreed by ministerial decree we think the restrictions on the fundamental liberties shouldn't be decided. by the law an active part of that is the proper way to
9:10 am
deal with that sort measures while restrictions still in place to include a nighttime curfew across the country and restaurants remain shut while even visits to the homes of family and friends have banned citizens must also go shopping alone and work from home whenever possible imad letter the law is added that the lack of political legitimacy gives perfect grounds for public unrest something the country has repeatedly saying the lock down the government insists it will put a pandemic law to parliament however the lawyer we spoke to says that this should have been done a long time ago. we know one year from the start of the pandemic and we think as a government 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
9:11 am
all circumstances also also in particularly difficult situations like the crisis we are going to now that is what i am concerned. that to paris police officers are set to be charged over violence at the l.f.s. protest back in 2019 when is believed to have fired the stun grenade that left the activist or a murderer as blind in one eye he told this is injuries from the start of a government led attack. pretty cool 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
9:12 am
assembly members now you might find this video disturbing it does capture the moment after 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 hands from being hit by policemen and 30 were partially blinded a number of disciplined proceedings for violence by officers from massacre. i. believe that.
9:13 am
40 years ago the un human rights commission called for a probe into the possible use solve excessive force by french police during the process however the government rejected the accusations with president macro on the calling them unacceptable although the then prime minister edward philippe did admit law enforcement had made mistakes in handling the rallies drama very good as again says the lack of action from authorities there was even worse than police brutality. if you did you know when officials talk about you was mentally retarded on live television you also need to be able to deal with that says 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 gathered my eye out for.
9:14 am

9:16 am
groups are critical of the timing so as to tailor as more. 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. world. 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 breast the were no mark this wrong man could easily have been
9:17 am
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 1000 life 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 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 by testing things my heart and lungs a concious house seen breastfeeding affronts anyone enough of removing women women exist we menstruates give birth and have breasts can we keep our terminology for
9:18 am
sun this was just the cherry on top of the gender fluid biology question in cake big by. 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 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 are abolishing the female and male categories exam how wells's non-binary sam smith supposed to when everything so you know more then never women no more chair manholes certainly no man kind is the love that's going to change the future of mankind so we'd like you to look at what we are really just 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
9:19 am
that people who menstruate all women in margin and you can't be cancelled twice. now facebook is being compared to big brother after admitting it shared private data of people thought to be involved in the u.s. capitol riots social media giant has disclosed he did cooperate with law enforcement to hand over messages from those who allegedly broke into the seat of government last month 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. the storming of the capitol building has already seen a reported 221 people charged and facing up to 20 years in jail democratic party
9:20 am
officials and media are calling the offenders domestic terrorists and the f.b.i. is identifying suspects with the help of more than $200000.00 photos and videos mostly from online social networks and that's not gone though without consequences for facebook because the tech giant has lost now more than 30000000000 dollars in market value with investors spooked by the platform's coziness with the f.b.i. analyst and commentator mourns that innocent people too could have been caught up in the sweep. a lot of people really were a lot of your different feet you did it 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 betting most people i would say hundreds of
9:21 am
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 capitol 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've kind of twisted that and interpret it 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. it doesn't mean just 38 people have now been confirmed
