america appeals against britain's decision not to extradite to the united states despite growing calls for president biden to drop the case against that we can expound on. sold more than a 1000000 barrels of oil seized from iranian tankers raising questions about who actually gets the money. and york's governance of ministration comes under increasing pressure over massive under-reporting of deaths during the pandemic we speak to the daughter of. the seniors everything that the. whole to their political is.

here in moscow money welcome to world news for amati international 1st for you then this weekend the united states has launched an appeal against a british court decision not to extradite julian a song that's despite a petition sent to the u.s. department of justice demanding that the case be dropped altogether the signatories include rights groups like amnesty international and the american civil liberties union. indictment of mr sunshine 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 last month in a ruling that surprised many a british judge blocked de santis extradition over concerns for his mental health nevertheless days later he was still denied bail media freedom group for also left dismayed as the judge largely supported 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 of songs exposed while some of characterized as a u.s. war crimes whistleblower and former cia analyst john kiriakou says convicting a song 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 if 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. united states has sold more than a 1000000 barrels of oil that was scenes from iranian tank here is part of washington's sanctions program and another captured vessel is currently on its way to a u.s. port of the sages have become standard practice for the united states as punishment for teheran's alleged nuclear plans washington claims all income generated will go to it's fun for victims of state sponsored terrorism but is that really the case has done a quarter. 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 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 international oil economist octomom to son of a told the actions like this undermine american status. well that's true it's.

sanctions. to see these sanctions. has not imperil national weather service that. you know is. well aware of this sort of. and of course that will happen u.s. coalition with the united states and. it is. certainly something to which. the response i'm going to serve but i think it is ill suited for. the response agreement is. fast. lawmakers are demanding an investigation after

a leaked message suggest a top aide to the new york governor mitt it withholding the correct figures on covert deaths in care. 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 weren't sure if there was going to be an investigation of the scandal escalated 2 weeks ago when the new york attorney general's report can accuse the ministration of undercounting cope with deaths in sing homes by some 50 percent the state's health department then revealed nearly 4000 previously unreported victims who later died in hospital or in another facility i won't grieving daughter who lost her mother says new york's vulnerable elderly are being used as political pawns. 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 get to their loved ones when we've been calling for a monster and she's an 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 ship of the dice for a senior codifies a has promised an investigation but blamed the trumpet ministration for what he presented as a politically motivated smear campaign which he is i assess the some bias probe is essential to reveal 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 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'll hear how they died. senior lawyers in belgium for an unopened lesser warning the government's covert restrictions eroding the north because they failed to get parliamentary approval 1st. what we have criticised is the fact that the coverage measures in belgium have been to create ministerial decree we think the restrictions on fundamental liberties shouldn't be decided. by the law an active part of that is the proper way to deal with that sort mentions restriction still in place include a night curfew across the country bars and restaurants remain shut and visits to the homes of family and friends a band citizens must also go shopping alone and work from home whenever possible and in the letter the lawyers added that the lack of political legitimacy gives perfect grounds for public unrest something the country's repeatedly suffered throughout the lockdown the government insists it will put

a pandemic law to parliament but the lawyer that we spoke to says they should have been done a long time ago. we are now one year from the start of the pandemic and we think. governments 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 house 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'm concerned. to paris police officers are said to be charged over violence of a yellow vests protest in $2191.00 is believed to have fired a stun grenade that left activist jerome rodriguez blind in one eye he told us his

entry was just the start of government led attacks. but it's 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 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. you might find these pictures disturbing they capture the moment just after rodrigo's was hit in the eye thousands of others were also injured at the yellow vests mass rallies for economic justice which broke out in late 2018 a study found 5 protesters lost hands from being hit by police finish and 30 were partially blinded the number of disciplinary proceedings for violence by officers

rose dramatically. over. 2 years ago that the un human rights commission called for a probe into the possible use of excessive force by french police during the protests for whether the government rejected the accusations with president mccrone calling them unacceptable over then prime minister edward phillipe did admit no reinforcement had made mistakes in handling the rallies drone rodriguez describes

the lack of action from the authorities as being even worse than police brutality. if he did you know when officials talk about us 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. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation

let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development the only 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. the world is driven by shaped by our own person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.

america the u.k.'s national health service is facing condemnation from many sides over its new gender neutral language requirements of all something the pandemic is hardly the time for a huge politically correct oba hole even those it's meant to benefit such as trans groups a critical of the timing of saskia tyler 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 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 mark this wrong man could easily have been doing the midnight chest feeding all these years i don't rob it 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 resumes to speak and the 34000000 in the u.k. who identify as one while 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 women straights give birth and have breasts can we keep our terminology for sun this was just the cherry on top of the gender fluid biology question in cake big by. what warriors and companies terrified of being canceled i meet a few years back the solitude product always removed the female gender symbol so that trans man what does it feel dysphoric theaters know not gods to a decent job to learn to take their seats melted female toilets are so out self selection facilities are in i don't want shows a modern abortion the female and male categories exam how well says non-binary sam

smith supposed to when everything so you are no more men never women no more chav manal manholes. 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 a people coming to not necessarily mankind 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 can you. facebook being compared to big brother after admitting it showed private data of people thought to be involved in the u.s. capitol riots the social media giant to disclose that it did cooperate with law enforcement a 100 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 snitch in america big brother is facebook surreal farce. the storming of the capitol building is already seen a reported 221 people charged in 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 most of them coming from the online social networks and that's not going without consequences for facebook it's lost more than $30000000000.00 in market value with investors spooked by the platform's coziness with the f.b.i. analyst and commentator. for the cns and people could have been caught up in the sweep a lot of people don't realize i mean a lot of your social and 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 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 on and turned over investigator were not in the capitol they were perhaps on the capitol grounds but that's a completely equal eat 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 years or other types of video information is probably being looked at as well. 38 people have now been confirmed dead after a himalayan glassy a broke off and destroyed a dam causing devastating floods that have also left almost 200 people missing and this is the moment a fast moving mix of water and rocks smashed through northern india environmental activists have criticized government claims that it was a freak accident saying they've warned for decades that industrial development of the territory was a road in the mountain range and today's edition of going underground is from an award winning environmentalist from the area here's some of the show which you can watch it all to me dot com. what have you made of this dreadful tragedy in the himalayas involving a. well you know i am from this region of where that are kind where the ganges

starts i became a volunteer for shit called what a decade we fought and we stopped the luck but in the dam building started and in 2013 there was a disaster or actually bigger this one has lost a few lives and 200 people are missing. the 2013 disaster to get that out was. nearly 610-0000 missing and we did a very g.t.a. it's tacky there were tunnels where dynamite is being blasted all over the hydroelectric project and all the muck from the startles was being dumped into the river so at that point we realized there are 3 things much. climate disaster because the glaciers are melting the leaks are forming a mad development just asked of thinking these fragile mountains can take all the wilds of a war and turn disaster a deregulation disaster which has heels that contractors can make whatever money

they want to and there's no liability there is no responsibility. our valentine's day on the way will round off with something heartwarming and totally topical a couple proving how love can conquer even in the face of covert adversity. they went for coffee at their easily their least fruit calmly. it's their love indeed the huge affection for each other.
