the moon, the the headlines here on our teeth, the kremlin last year's out, had allegations over atrocities carried out by russian army instructors in the central african republic. it's in a new un security council report obtained by the new york times a potential death blow to the u. s. case against julian, a sausage. as washington's main witness appears to admit in an interview with icelandic media that he gave false testimony. 9 death taught confirmed and more than a 100 are still missing in miami, after the collapse of an apartment block. it's the merge that engineers raised the alarm over the complex 3 years ago. and on the program, we report from the st. ah,

and lots of stores for you on this monday program here on the international welcome to the program. the kremlin has blasted alleged abuses by russia and the central african republic. it's all in a report by the un security council now obtained by the new york times thinking among russia military advisors could not and did not participate in the killing. so, robberies, this is another lie. well, a pretty strong denial to some pretty serious allegations. the charges have all that russian mastery is deployed in the central african republic killed civilians. they looted homes that even shot at wash. suppose in a mosque we're hearing this via the new york times from you and investigators who penned to report that's already been submitted on already. in fact, very it took me discussed by the security council. now these legit abuses

atrocities really are said to have taken place in january and february of this year during an operation to drive rebels out of several towns. now what is the proof full of power, a bat of photographs and witness testimony? all that is at the moment available to us now is, was mentioning that the are indeed russians in the c. a r y country has been going through tunnel since 960, when it 1st gained independence from france, but really tensions fled in 2017. that's when the rebels gained the ground violent spite, thousands were killed. hundreds of thousands were displaced to the government, turned to russia to help and invited instructors less than $550.00 to come and train the local army. and, you know, she gave its blessing to that mission, has its own peacekeeping forces in the country to. so laska says it's train is not involved in any military operations that for security and training purposes, able to provide a pass and protection to see a leadership. so you can see

a number of foreign actors in this one country and out very conflicting reports as to what each actor was actually up to the sky. when did these allegations actually come out? well, when this news broke, what's interesting is that russia's deputy ambassador to the un denounced it as an anti russia political hit job and the fast one. so she referenced me to reference to constant dubious attempts to be spread. russians in the central african republic, especially with an american and french media use anonymous sources, plus the sort of more the general, factual, most recent, either the see and also publish an article that had a code of the you and, and report. so again, firing out civilians the finding of home, so also instances of rape and torture, apparently based quote, no cool claims have seen all of this personal information of those locals has been changed. so it's almost impossible to verify. so also one cap,

one side of the story. what's interesting is that when the other side of the story is not just russia, as we've heard, but so the un fact c, a r leadership, the president of the republic would like to point out that cnn and sentry did not be that the central african republic to confirm these facts, the cnn report is a deceitful and defamatory report based on rumors circulated on social media. now while, as we had seen, that might not have visited the c a r to sort of see what's actually happening on the ground already correspondent, konstantin roscoe. did, and this is what he found moving forward in disability to talk to the local. and they were like really severely brutalized and harassed by by rebels in less than a month. and village was free. man, sadly, his father was murdered by military because he received the money thing. it was not much you can take from these people. this is what a typical village house looks like inside jargon ramp. the only furniture is small

that the children sleep right on the floor. those stupid asleep. when the russians came, what did they do here? no problem. we came to protect the russian. have they been impressive? no, they haven't. well, of those was, or indeed the was of the see all president himself fit in with the findings of the un remains unclear. but one thing is absolutely clear. and that is that according to moscow, these latest explosive claims, in no way reflect reality. the main witness and the u. s. case against julian sanchez admitted. he gave false testimony. speaking to an i slender newspaper, he said that you found out never asked him to get any phones or any computers. somebody calling this a blow for washington, with some seeing the admission as fatal in his case against assange, among them fellow whistleblower edward snowden. this is the end of the case against

julian sanchez. if biden continues to seek the extradition of a publisher under an indictment poison top to bottom, with false testimony, admitted by its own star, witness the damage to the united states, reputation and press freedom would last for a generation. it's unavoidable for the better part of a decade. the united states and its allies wanted at sunjay. they came up with allegations and grand juries and smear campaigns to get to him. we knew that what we didn't know is how many of america's charges against the sods charges that could lambda signs in jail for 175 years. a reportedly made up the main witness and the charges against the san to the extra decent request father in the u. k. gave an interview to stand it and i standing publication. his name is siegel do you for this? and he apparently has a piece of work charges were piling up against thought,

a send with the sunday co authorities for massive fraud forgeries and theft on the one hand and for sexual violations against under age boys he had tricked or forced into sexual act from the other, during his time as a volunteer wiki legs way lied and claimed to be almost none, but 2 after a sons. he said to rob them of $50000.00 in donated funds and stole hard drives packed with documents. when we really started asking questions, guess who? he cooled. thorsten saw a way out on august the 23rd. he sent an email to the u. s. embassy in iceland offering information. the prosecutors and f. b. i were quick in responding and within 48 hours a private jets landed in reykjavik with around 8th agents who quickly set up meetings with thought us and thought if it was willing to say anything, he lied to them. he now says about assigned to asking him to break into government systems. he admits the lying about that,

but that is all ready in the charges against the savage. right now this activity was said include attempts to hug into the computers of members of parliament and recalled their conversations. in fact, thought us. and now mister stunt in the songs never asked him to hack or access phone recordings of n p's. moreover, the british judge reviewing the extradition request agreed with the charges charges, many of which are now said to be live, such as when thought this and claim that he accessed a police vehicle database legitimately while working as a volunteer for rescue services and blamed it on a sods. more deceptive language emerges in the upper mentioned judgments where it states a song use the unauthorized access given him by a source. it's access a government websites of iceland used to track police vehicles. there was more much more about stolen band fall than hacking, all of which was twisted by thordis and, and the f b i who must have known how unreliable he was. but what one wouldn't do for

immunity? yes, the f b i offered for the son, immunity from prosecution for all the things that they knew he did. furthermore, the f b, i told him it wouldn't share anything with the police. you think he learned his lesson? if this, the offer of immunity had encouraged torrison to take boldest steps in crime, he started to fleece individuals and companies on a grander scale than ever forgery. bo kraft, vice shell companies, and much, much more lives, his main weakness than the prosecution and persecution of julian assad. this is the best that they could do if verified these interview will be a serious blow, if not the dennis of the case against the sarge. and the case that has riled rights and press activists for years, in case that may well criminalize journalism, as we know it. and the case that will ma america for years to come like are they

must get left with. we remember that the judge prohibited sonjee is extradition only because of his carry a health situation. danger might commit suicide in the us prison. at the same time, she essentially agreed with the argon and fabricated by the us and based on the testimonies of a person who as we know, said himself that he's testimony was fictional false. and of course, this must have consequences for the extradition presentation for fuel. but i think the finding that the ministration must once and for all right, this case on a criminalization of journalism and united states doesn't look for justice in the judy and look for revenge and revenge against the journalist who help us to reveal its all crimes and that's why they will use any means possible to punish julian assault and make an example of india that no one else will dare say that they can see. despite the new alleged revelations by the icelandic newspaper,

a former un special repertory on arbitrary detention month. and dennis believes that washington wants to punish assange no matter what these are very serious allegations and they do fit into the larger picture where you have authority is to, you know, take huts or law very seriously. they want to punish mr. sanchez and they have largely succeed in the icelandic article. a newspaper article shows the day he was lying, that there was no truth to the statement by this past. and that is what the u. s. o. parties should have known but probably did not take too seriously. they have wanted to punish mister sanchez for his exercise or freedom of expression, poise, disclosure of war crimes. all abuses with terrible crime. and the hope now

must be that the english and the u. k. course now, lock an extradition. i really hope they do this the most recent story and just add to the various holy grounds for refusing to extradite me. just united states for what is an exercise home or freedom of expression which has provided us with a basis for understanding military actions and human rights abuses in the iraq war . and many other important issues which we have not known about if it hadn't been called the disclosures of all week leaks. and mister orange british state secrets apparently ditched at a bus stop in kent that's according to the b b. c. it says it was handed the files

by someone who wants to remain anonymous. now the documents relate to the recent journey of the royal navies. hfs defender, russia claims that destroy a breached its waters in the black sea last week. and moscow was left rather unimpressed by the bbc's bus stop scoop in fact, till london has demonstrated another provocation and around of life to cover it. the double. 07 agents are not the same as they once were. and now a quick riddle for the british parliament. why do you need russian hair kiss when there are british bus stops? on wednesday a russian patrol ship fired a warning shots as a master offender, as it sailed within 20 kilometers of the crimean and coast. that is a region regarded by russia as its territory. the u. k though, says it was in international waters. now, according to the bus stop trove, the destroyers route had been deliberately chosen to irritate moscow. an alternative route was considered, which would have kept h m. s defender well away from contested waters. this would have avoided

confrontation of the presentation noted, but ran the risk of being portrayed by russia as evidence of the u. k. being scared, running away. or let's say this further with john list on broadcast a neal clock, a great to have you on the program. how are you today? neil? through work very well. pretty dark and gloomy day in the u. k. today you wouldn't think it's the 28 to june, the 28th of october, which time you must know the sounds long ago. and it's been stormy all day. neil, let's discuss this issue with the defendant. this story, and else, according to this treasure trove of documents, the h. m asked if it had alternative routes, it didn't have to choose what would end up being the confrontational route. why do you think it did? i think we've got to focus really on what's happening here and you tell him that because the government's been in trouble the last the last week or so we were supposed to have freedom day. busy the majority, freedom day on the 21st of june, that was delay. people are getting more fed up with the never ending code

restrictions. and of course, also last week you have to scandal them. i called the health secretary finally resigning after the scandal of him. we will know what happened to court on camera kissing away with, with a colleague having told everybody else to wear massive social distance. so it's very embarrassed the government and what better, i think have a great diversion in, in the crimea. the story which promoted the gay in a very anti rushing way. more time and time again. we see that when, when the british government is in trouble at how, then they bring up something involving russia. and so there's always corny, you know, it's always cool. just how predictable the, all the history secret documents left at a bus stop by an anonymous dropper, the documents go straight to the b b. c. what was the purpose of this? do you think? is there a mold in the u. k. government, what do you think? it's interesting, isn't it? because when i 1st read the story, oh my god,

the 1st of april already is it quite surreal. bus stops and, and leaks any important documents for the ministry defense. you know, a couple of points through the 1st of all the person who found them, they said they wanted to remain anonymous. you could argue, well. 1 then the public walk, the dog by the bus. stop the dog sniffing away. what's the stop? oh my god, top secret, i'm going to get on to the b, b. c. that's quite interesting that the person decided to send them to the b, b, c. and not press go to the police, which is what probably most people would have done had they stumbled across top secret documents like they. so it's pretty fishy where you, i think and, and there's a lot of questions that still have to be, to be answered. i mean, as far as i go over, really, you know, w 7, i mean, who needs russian? because when you got bus stop leaks like this, i mean, really, quite sure, isn't it? that's right. that was, that was more of a hot of. that's right. so the rest of. busy the she defended crosses russia's territorial maritime border around crimea. of course, this is territory that russia claims and parts of the international community

question these claims. it was seemingly done deliberately, but then on this boat on the she, if you have correspondence from the b, b, c, and the daily mail on board, do you think they were there by chance, or perhaps were they preparing something? absolutely not. i mean, clearly this was stage, we know the document that they could have gone a different route. it was deliberate the stage to get a response from russia, which would then be leg with the story about russia threatening the u. k, etc. which would be the headlines of the papers and it was, as i said, it's a very convenient time for the u. k. government to do this kind of a gumbo diplomacy. again, the timing, which is poor. why now? why now did this happen from leaving newspaper newspaper and the b, b. c on board? tell us everything we need to know about this. it was clearly stage publication for domestic consumption. and i want to, i also interesting was in the document. it says what we could go a different route,

but the russians would take that weakness. i would go about it as if russia would make a big story out of a british ship, taking the correct route in the black sea. why? why would they do that? he simply doesn't make any sense or does it neil in the past few days i've had a number of guests here on the program. when are you into national and what are 2 of them have said look, you know, countries do they do this to each other all the time. the always testing each other among that regional borders. ready you know little bouts or brinkman ship, it shouldn't be taken too seriously. neil moscow has taken this very seriously. is there an end game to these kinds of bouts? so brinkman ship for example. what's the true purpose? i think we have heard from source is that actually was the prime minister boris johnson. you authorize this and not a foreign secretary, donnie ross, which makes it even more serious. really we have got a government, a british government now, but he's packed with russian. neil codes,

you can call them, and he's always said the case. whenever the british government in trouble 8 kind of kind of played they said, trying to provoke, washington tries to have this and you can call plate. so there is, what is the ultimate again, it will clearly britain has, has signed agreements with ukraine. brittany is very much, probably ukraine's strongest out. i now, in europe, britain as a pretty actually both pretty boasted being out of the you means that they can take more independent, independent vertical line on this and to offer more support for countries like ukraine and to stand up too much more in that curves. so i think we have to say in that context of really one hand, yes, it's a perfect excuse for diversion, for the british government, but also it's about britain trying to trying to make a new car. the foreign policy, even more hawkish, perhaps than the foreign policy you had before, outside of the you,

to show that we can out court the you on subject psycho iris rough from ukraine. and i think that is the worry. but this will actually get worse. but outside of the you now will be the sort of outlier taking a much more aggressive stance. and it did what you could argue. the more call it corneal contractually. british government were kind of restrained by the more moderate voices in the e u. before journalist and broadcast at neil o'clock, very interesting conversation, thanks so much for your time. we appreciate it here at all the best times. bye. thank you. 10 people have now been confirmed dead after an apartment complex collapsed in miami. however, more than a $150.00 are still missing its off. the part of the building came down on the 1st day. correspondent john hardy's sent this report from the st. this. it continues to be a search and rescue operation. it has a switch to

a certain recovery operation. so obviously people are holding out hope that perhaps rescues will find any and all signs of life. but that hope is really for a miracle at this point. and earlier we did speak with some people here about the ongoing operation about the overall atmosphere and my grandmother. she's lived here since 2001. and the last time i spoke with her was the day before the collapse on the phone. i'm praying for the miracle, the millennium, where my grandmother is alive and well underneath the rubble against the odds. i'm concerned about my mom. i wonder if she was leasing. i wonder if she didn't call any of our phones on the voicemail. terrible strategy. i mean, i came out here basically to lend moral support virtual support, but it's crazy, obviously, while hope remains, it's really hope for a miracle and a law with miami dade search and rescue cruise. there's also crews with fema

federal emergency management agency, also investigators from washington d. c. federal investigators rory are on the scene working with local authorities and investigating how and why this happened at this point is looking like a confluence of factors. a perfect storm, if you will. there was it back in 2018. a structural engineers report that was commissioned by the condo association as part of their recertification process for this building, pointing out structural deficiency structural degradation in the building problems with the concrete, basically crappy cracking. and along with that report, there was also in 2020 and report a study done by florida international university environmental scientist at the university, pointing out with shifting erosion and soil and basically san loved land subsidence . as you pointed out. and this particular building, the champlain tower south, was right basically in the warning zone in the red alert zone, as he said, as he reported in this study. so there is

a number of contributing factors leading to what is now a catastrophe. we talked with miami based, loyal christian, man cetera, who believes the tragedy will have huge legal repercussions for the entire city? well, i think that the building association was aware of what's going on. and the people in charge of hiring the services of these building administrators who were the ones who had the responsibility of making sure that these repairs would be properly applied, please walls and structures and pillars. they were not done. and we also have to remember that the you engineer, board about 30 years ago had already worn that the pillars and the building would be thinking at a rate of almost like 2 millimeters per year. due to be sub terrain which was before the building was built, a actual leak. and i think that what we're going to see in the future days and

months is a bunch of lawsuits not only against the building association or whoever is responsible for not taking care of these repairs in time and also against the city and the county of miami. dade, and i'm sure that whoever is the building or the company that has that administers this condominium will have to answer some like you know, precise questions. you knew there were issues with the building. why didn't you have a plan and store anybody have a plan? stuart, how much money do you have? where was the money invested? who was hired to take care of the job? and you had about 30 years to take care of this problem. i melting with a major fire has broken out near the elephant and castle station in central london, a picture showing a huge plume of thick black smoke and gulf in the building and rising into the sky above the capital. a nearby building has also been evacuated at the far, reportedly started in ga rogers house in the are 2 of the station. attending fire

engines and around $75.00 fighters were sent to the scene around the sun. no reports of any injuries, and the fire is said to now have been contained the a participant in the miss new jersey contest has taken a stand against what she brands as all well ian censorship on campus during the pageant. justin murray delivered a fiery speech on stage while answering a question about the biggest problems facing the youth of today. our generation is experiencing an epidemic of censorship and entitlement. we're watching free speech get hammered to the ground by the very institutions that are supposed to promote diversity of thought. i think experience on my own college. and i know people who have the same experience on their college campuses where they've experienced censorship to the point where it becomes borderline violence. i couldn't return to

campus my senior year because i received death threats for my views and for my jewish views. and for my political views, they were deemed unholy. they were deemed on the world and i was attacked on line by my own professors targeting online and harassment person to the point where one time a professor even came up to me in the star. she didn't know who i was, but she grabbed my shoulder and through the i better watch out. she was like a secret please. this is straight out of order. well baris a speech came in the same week. the florida gulf and assigned a bill to tackle alleged indoctrination in schools requires more than 30 public colleges and universities to conduct yearly surveys on the beliefs of students and faculty that determine levels of intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity. just enough. all right, again outlined more of the difficulties she experienced on campus. things got worse and they were already bad enough when i started my university career. even

during my freshman year, i was banned from a dormitory floor in my, in my home called the multicultural living in learning community for dressing up as our for a former 1st lady, maloney, a trunk for me. there are so many politicians right now who claim that there for free speech, but only one. it supports their own ideology, so they get annoyed when people criticize them for their speech. us stripes and syria targeting iranian back to militia have left a child dead and several civilians injured. that's all. according to the syrian media. the pentagon released this video showing the bombing of a number of so called weapons facilities in the iraq syria border region. the us state department justified the strike by citing the right to self defense had claimed it was the response to an ongoing series of attacks by iran backed groups.

the united states took necessary appropriate and deliberate action designed to limit the risk of escalation, but also to send a clear and unambiguous deterrents message as a matter of international law, the united states, arts and person to the right of self defense. the strikes are both necessary to address the threats and appropriately limited in scope. back in february, the u. s. carried out a similar are talking eastern syria, some in congress at the time question this legality. and iran claim the strike actually targeted units fighting terrorists and only strengthened. i feel along the border a damascus deems the american presence in syria illegal. that one's the troops to leave and middle east affairs export ali risk believes the us doesn't want to withdraw from the region, fearing and other power might step into the void. even the killing of a child we've been accustomed to the united states using the language or the term collateral damage record. on one occasion, years ago, the americans bomb the hospital stern. of course,

this was within or within the framework of the war on terror and time and time again, whether deliberately or non deliberately, many, many civilians had been killed off the up the arnie's. you can also iraqis, you can ask others as well. this is our general american policy, and i think there are other states doesn't want to withdraw from these regions because it is that it would ripple, its influence would be replaced by chinese and russian influence, along with the reigning influence, our that's our news program for this out here on our tea international nearly half past 7 now. monday evening. thank you so much for joining us. my colleague union o'neill is here with the desk and a half an hour time. i hope you can join him and join me every thursday on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then.

me ah ah. hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things considered 9? peter labelle. well, it didn't take long days after the shooting bio summit. the u. k. committed some very under pro magic acts in the block. c will tell you why. also after heated debate, the e. u is proven unable to find the unified voice to engage russia whose fault is that. i.
