1:01 pm
in this weekend money welcome to world news from international 1st for you this hour the u.s. has launched an appeal against a british court decision not to extradite julian assange that's despite a petition sent to the u.s. justice department demanding that the case is dropped altogether signatures include rights groups like amnesty international and the american civil liberties union. the indictment of mr sunshine threatens press freedom because much of the conduct described in the indictment is conduct 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 british judge block to sound his extradition over concerns for his mental health nevertheless days later he was still denied bail and media freedom groups were also left dismayed as the judge largely supported
1:02 pm
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 assault expose what some of characterized as 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
1:03 pm
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. united states is sold more than a 1000000 barrels of oil it was seized from iranian tankers last year as part of washington sanctions program and another captured vessel is currently on its way to u.s. paul right now the sage is a become standard practice for the u.s. as punishment for 10 alleged nuclear plans washington claims all income generated will go to fund victims of state sponsored terrorism but is that really the case is the whole cold. need not idea for a side hustle put sanctions on
1:04 pm
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 address to perish and our experts to
1:05 pm
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 controls the seas it's a never ending feast of someone else's oil and mountains of profit international oil economist octomom to sodomite told us that actions like this undermine america's status. well that's true it's. the same
1:06 pm
chance. to see these sanctions. as not internal national. that. you know is. well aware of this certainly. other countries on its. u.s. coalition with the united states and. it is. certainly. the response i'm going to serve but i think it's not going to have the rest. of us. the makers are demanding an investigation after a leaked message suggested
1:07 pm
a top aide to the new york governor of method withholding the correct figures on covert deaths and. 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 administration of undercounting covert deaths in nursing homes by some 50 percent the state health department then revealed nearly 4000 previously unreported victims who later died in hospital or in another facility i want grieving mother who lost her mother one grieving daughter who lost her mother says that new york's vulnerable elderly population are being used as political pawns. but 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 in that's
1:08 pm
that's a travesty that they did that not only to seniors but that 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 for a senior cuomo divisor has promised an investigation but blame the trumpet ministration for what it presented as a politically motivated smear campaign over the n.s.a. or says an unbiased probe is essential to revealing 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. any lawyers in belgium
1:09 pm
have written an open letter warning the government restrictions are eroding the more because they fail to get parliamentary approval 1st what we have criticised is the fact that the coverage measures in belgium being to create by ministerial decree we think the restrictions on fundamental liberties shouldn't be decided by parliament by way of the rule 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 and visits to the homes of family and friends are banned citizens must also go shopping alone and work from home whenever possible in the letter of annoyance added the lack of political legitimacy gives perfect grounds for public unrest something the country has repeatedly suffered throughout the lockdown the government insists it will put
1:10 pm
a pandemic law to parliament but the lawyer we spoke to says they should have been done a long time ago. we are now one year from the start of the pandemic we think. government's 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 how. we live under the rule of law. and we want the rule of law to prevail in all circumstances also in particularly difficult situations like the crisis to now that is what i'm concerned. to paris police officers are said to be charged over violence at a yellow vests protest in $2191.00 is believed were fired a stun grenade that left activity room rodriguez blind in one eye he told us his injury was just the start of government led attacks. i joined the
1:11 pm
political opposition at least in relation to my crohn's 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 in assembly members. cameras capture the moments off the rodrigo's was hit in the thousands were injured in the yellow vest mass rallies for economic justice the broke out in late 2018 a study found a 5 protest is lost hands from being hit by police munitions and 13 were partially blinded the number of disciplinary proceedings for violence by officers also rose dramatically.
1:12 pm
2 years ago the u.n. human rights commission calls for a probe into the possible use of excessive force by french police during the protest however the government rejected the accusations with president calling them unacceptable although then prime minister eduardo felipe did admit lower enforcement had made mistakes in handling the rallies to rome rodriguez describes the lack of action from the authorities as being even worse than police brutality.
1:13 pm
