some of the images is not on the, not a monumental charges on the, on the you want, you all can national, in today's headlines. a chilling effect on press, free to not have john list, describe a new law proposed applied to your problem, which threatened john left with a lengthy blank, the prison tubs. if they just close the front of the devastation in china and what a said to be was plugged in in a 1000 it's called just white outcome put into structure and reached the situation space. or you think i didn't want this well cover up no way to be count. we'll

team is fine still wearing, sold, rob them bikini, bottoms during a weekday. and we also got all the faxes should i get to to what they was? well done to this brave women feel set up for other sports. she was supposed crimes may be done. it is a secularization of women. ah, it's not good morning. it's 9 am here in moscow. welcome to auction national, and let's jump straight and take a look and i'll talk to her the day. so while locked up for telling the truth reporting it stops the faint but could be awaiting john if the proposed law in the u. k. gets passed through reports on the sources would be treated like spies and publishing government secrets could result in imprisonment for up to 14 years. the

news has caused a pool over in the u. k. has ortiz, where i can steer, explains a journalists can do as much harm to britain as a foreign spot. so argues the british government, in this 66 page proposal, which erases the line between investigative journalism whistle, blowing and spies are all the same under the proposed new secret law. although there are differences in the mechanics of and motivations behind espionage and unauthorized disclosure offenses. there are cases where an unauthorized disclosure maybe as or more serious in terms of intent and or damage. but more the legislation seeks to remove without blow protections, even if what they leaked is in the public interest. and stead it advisors would be whistleblowers to, to go and talk to their boss if they have a moral issue with something that they're doing rather than reveal it to the public

that their government is engaged in something immoral or illegal trays is an interesting question. what if it's their boss that's doing something a moral, like the health secretary and leaked video kissing a coworker after he'd obliged millions to abide by his soon strict social distancing measures. i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made that you have made. and those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them. and that's why i've got to resign. officially, this new beefed up version of the secret. lou has nothing to do with the resignation of hancock officially, but it would have made the scandal very nearly impossible. see, any journalist who shared this video shared anything that they received from a, with blue, couldn't face a sentence of more than a decade behind bars. due to the new way of defining espionage,

including obtaining sensitive information, as well as pass it on journalists, whom are simply working. their stories can potentially face up to 14 years in prison by receiving some secret information. there's much more to it. aside from the harsh sentences and the least in the databases of potential threats, there are special powers that the government wants to give itself the power to punish and restrict individuals, be the journalists or foreign spas. if the government doesn't have enough evidence to jail them, there may be a strong intelligence case to suggest as an individual is engaging hostile activity, but limited evidence that could be openly used to support criminal prosecution. the civil order could include a range of restrictive and preventative measures, including measures to prevent an individual associating with certain people or from visiting specified sensitive locations. currently, these proposals are being polished off at the foreign office but could soon be in

parliament make no mistake. this, this new secret law would give the most authors area and regimes in the world a run for their money, a pass whistle blowing, and investigative journalism as we know within the u. k. dead. this is one of the biggest wide ranging attacks on breaths. freedom, perhaps, since since democracy came to britain, the definitions in the report are very old indeed. in fact with journalism doesn't come up once in the 66 page report itself fundamental to the 56 major poured into journalists can be more dangerous than spun life. obviously the u. s. is prosecuting for junior sans on the b as jack. this secretary of secretary is backing a consultation document that suggests that journalists that much worse than spies supplies after all,

can work for one government or another government or one actor jones. if they publish the material, everyone can see it's a journalists have to be done. that is seriously the level of logic and deduction that is being used here by the british government in a raising freedoms and rights of the free press here in this country that have been that have been created and modified over centuries. so that's, that's quite how dangerous the official secrets act before looks to be. meanwhile, in the us, secretary of fate and he blank and has vowed unwavering support for independent journalists all around the world. i think that's fine thing what intimidation won't be tolerated. the comment, however, caused a wave of disbelief on occupations of double standards. the upshot of the ongoing trump by the prosecution of julian, a sons is the united states, believes old jordan race, whatever their nationality, wherever they are, have

a legal duty to keep the u. s. government dirty secrets. now, i'm sorry, but that's not support. enjoy unless every us media outlets at landber's this comment and reference assange, but they won't, because they suck messiah alina job has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from u. s. government propaganda, oregon voice of america to agitate for regime change in iran, in the bizarre logic of us empire. she's an independent journalist, andrew and assange is a criminal of lincoln's, was came in support of massa island jobs. she's and rain, an american john, this voice america host who is an outspoken critic of iran government. last week she claimed she was the target of a kid not being plot organized by iranian intelligence that was foiled by the f b. i. now critics pointed out the hypocrisy and lincoln's expression of support for janice. since it hasn't been extended, for example, to the case of juliana staunch or just remind to john the son which we found

a song house by more than 2 years in a maximum security prison in london. the us justice department has charged him onto the aspinall jacked school, accusing him of leaking classified information in 2020, if expedited to the us, the psalms could face up to 175 years behind bars. we discussed this with john list and also daniel, as all, who thinks that no john list is safe. every american journalist will be under threat. i mean, it's a, it's a, the prosecution of a sizes, a dagger aimed at the heart of us journalism. and that's what the, by the ministration is doing. and that's what antony blake and stands for. if the prosecution goes forward, the every journalist will be threatened with a similar legal charges. and espionage is a very dangerous thing. espionage scott could land you a life sentence and a maximum security prison. so that will definitely have

a most serious shilling effect america as a country that has completely lost the ability to engage in any kind of self criticism whatsoever. it's a, it's a global viewpoint, is distorted by a narcissistic person. national personality on the part of the political lead, which sees everything through a pro u. s. lens. the u. s. is always right. everybody else is always wrong. so the u. s . never persecutes journalists on the other countries to do, but the reality is quite different. devastating floods in central china with at least 33 people killed annella 250000 if not to waited from their homes. and what is said to be the heaviest rains in a millennium the who's

well, let's take a close look what's happening across the country here and brad, you're going to see the was region. this is china, central canada providence. now its largest city, joe pointed out that is located on the yellow river, the banks of which have bused full cost as predicts a grim few days to come with more heavy rain strong. when's and the typhoon, the schools and all of this havoc is also expected to hit the nearby coastal regions. they're the ones in yellow among them, the city of shanghai. well, let's want to take a look joe, specifically, which has seen some of the most dramatic events. now what you can see here is what looks like this enormous waterfall flooring. through the roof of the cities is a such dramatic images. now the hum was unable to accept the close of thought incoming flights for 26 hours. parts is while you can see those tools that of the local subway system was completely submerged needs and for me to terrified and on

the ground. and that was to be completely shut down at the same time and east 10 trains carrying about $10000.00 passengers. what halted with some travellers reported the straw this up to 40 hours. well also we could safe cause seen floating it down flooded streets which more resembled rivers, while sections of more than 2 dozen highways were closed. now, by some estimates, 1200000 people have been affected by the floods. so far, we managed to get this insight from a local reporter. i'm here add to want to say that it has been blocked by the to actual way in a capital city of central china as a whole. probably where the rescue was due on the way that has a re for a capital role has left, it's called the only one se ring you have for the funds is right now. the weather forecast say it will last until tomorrow. the latest from a local. i'm sorry to say the rainfall in a capital city, a realistic time,

little bit of 3 days while it's year rainfall remains around $614.00 millimeters, which means that they have witness ho year ring for each of the 3 days. the central theatre people's liberation army said on wednesday morning, it has sent more than 3000 men and a defects of equipment to fight to the plot. to carry out the rest, your walk in the city, emergency response level, a flat being raised to level one. the railway operator carries out mercer us to insure safety, such as the stopping services and the lowering the operation speed at some residential area. so you must have to be caught up water supply and electricity. the providential flow control and draw to relieve headquarters reported up more than 140000 residents have been affected by 2 racial rings and who and i seems to

live 16th and 10000 half the relocate to the state police so far. it's very different story control the see now in the sports world, often new ways beach handful team was fine for opting for shorts, instead of bikini buttons and a recent championship match the disciplinary. masha provoked an angry reaction. accusations of sexism. this is completely ridiculous. how many attitude changes are needed in the old fashioned matcher? world of international sport. oh my god, the worst i guess that they just do not understand the quality point once. is that even possible? can you please stop the 4th beginning onset said, your beach henberg games. it's embarrassing. disgraceful and sexist. your ruining birth, this port, and your own reputation. make the international handball, federation. officials where bikini bottoms for a week. the rules will be changed quickly. why do you force women to play beach

hands borne outfits that sexual objectify and expose them? come back to the 21st century and immediately bali should they sell dated rules? while the rules allow male players to wear shorts but not the fema keeps a federation. spokes passed and admitted that she herself didn't know the reason for this thought stress that this issue wasn't a priority ahead of the picks no way has campaigned against the rule, the 15. yes. so the teams, so wiring one, it's a deliberate protest, but it's also not the 1st time that supports why house calls control the see. for example, any of this year at a beach volleyball tournament and kept on play is what infuriates went off to swap the keys for shots and trousers, but don't hold on, said it wasn't a requirement. and the team supported by usual bikinis, also at the upcoming toko olympics swimmers being found from wearing special caps, designed for people with afro has styles a severe backlash to see that decision colon to review. and also last week, a double para olympic, while champion express,

discussed after an official complaint that has spread brief what too short my colleague wars to shade, discuss the rights of athletes with a panel of guests. they should give them the money back and say, get the whole thing. we're going to exercise a bit of common sense flexibility and get in sync with design guys. it's only just over 1516 years ago that then president of thief, soccer's governing organization. ready set black with encouraging female football as to a time skimpy clothes because he felt that it would make them more marketable. this is almost unthinkable to off the women. a serious women sport contests to abide by laws. the rules that were drawn up some time ago when they weren't offensive, it's 2021, isn't it time that women were allowed to wear shorts instead of bikinis in sport. and she said this competition were well aware of the rules. you call them have

a duration where what seems to be the role is because remember such a precedent for all other schools. if you're going to data sort of thing. you got cooperation with james. it seems to me for women, this change should come hiding. perverse challenge, we need to value how many opportunities actually won't change as well. rule from there, stupid like this rule, that can be not abide and actually, well done to this brave women that finally, they show the sexism in their for duration. they have to stop the thinking that to women's bodies are for the show, and they have something sexual with them. so course, it's a problem to have a bikini, you know how much you have to move when you play football. the key can was, wow, you can show more than you want to show. what do you think is they said, definitely not because you'll suffer past and you'll setup for other sports

teams. post tons and then pines, funds. they may be different, this done. maybe it's not a standard, i don't think it's, it's done. i just think it's some bureaucrat, he's laying the law down to the fine print head like we've got to read again is it is a sexualization of women. whether they say it is or not is irrelevant, is if you demand of a woman that she dresses in a bikini raga the sport scare, then that is only one way to interpret that. and it's almost what it is preposterous now. almost. it actually is preposterous to try to impose this perverse dress code on women in the 21st century was concerned about is all, but is it the path for the pool women's chains of complain? does that mean but the rest of the famous all quite happy. why became the bathrooms

baby and the sun the atmosphere playing in that they find it more comfortable to where it became the also did we ever thought, you know, maybe other women and we watch more, you know, football players, if they play with a tight, you know, shorts of they show their chest. no, of course not. we want the atlas to be comfortable with their plane. we want them to perform their best. still has often years of threat food functions, the us to find in the maids down its arms over the nord stream to pipeline. we'll see what triggered back here. turn off. this will break. ah join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me

in democratic society with free speech rights, words are spoken freely in those words that catch attention and result in something that is beneficial to all have a place in the market in the marketplace of ideas. and those words and ideas that don't benefit society as a whole tend to get discredited or weaned out of the conversation off through the magic of coping dialogue through the magic of free free. so what you saying is that they no longer have the competence to respect the 1st amendment. they are not a competent nation, they see the rise of china, and they've lost all their confidence. and they're going to repeal that delay the 1st amendment the the, the, the,

the hello again. now, the years of resistance, it seems that finally washington has accepted the, the north stream to gas pipeline to europe is going ahead. though the u. s. on germany has agreed that dependence on russian and she poses a security threat. while that means that support for ukraine, which is bypassed by the pipeline is provided. and the agreement has been that the 2 sides ensure that moscow and key of will extend a gas transit agreement. and moscow would face war us and use functions if small string to is used for political gain on teams. europe correspond to peter oliver. how's the details the united states and germany are steadfast in their support for ukraine sovereignty territorial integrity, independence, and chosen european pass. the united states and germany are united in their

determination to hold, rush her to account for its aggression and malign activities by imposing costs of our sanctions and other tools. just a few weeks ago, it was announced that the construction phase of north stream 2 would be completed next month. after that, it takes around 3 months for certification and safety checks to be carried out, and then the gas can start flowing all the way from siberia, under the baltic sea and into germany through this new pipeline. the u. s. saying that they're not going to stand in the way openly of the project is one thing, but we've certainly heard all coming out on wednesday. is that, well, they're still not particularly happy about nodes stream to you told this committee that you believed to nordstrom to pipeline would have disastrous effects on u. s. national security. that it would have disastrous effects on european security by making them subject to economic and energy blackmail from russia,

and that it would enrich and power to carry out that blackmail. you continue to believe that i do sen. it's clearly a very political issue in the united states as far as rusher is concerned. bo, strictly business attempts to portray us as an aggressor and the country, carrying out malicious activities have long been a hallmark of fruits of folks, threat stores. russia are groundless and useless. we have repeatedly stressed that the north stream, too, and other russian export pipelines are business arrangements with the countries that by our gas a, with this deal between berlin and washington, it seems that the north stream to should start providing death at some point before the end of 2021. i economist jack cross my says the agreement between washington and belin could be a side of bite and considering that the us tactics hadn't walked i think you got to

look at the context of the recent meetings and discussions between biden and europeans, particularly jeremy, you know, the germans, the europeans, considered us position on the global tax, and not taxing us tech companies. i think this is probably a quid pro quo to some extent of biking, can feeding what as everyone knows, it's already a done deal and allowing the germans to continue and get the cheaper gas. you got to understand that this whole sanctions over a gas began nordstrom to began under trump, when the us had a lot of natural gas and prices were falling. and you know, the industry, oil industry, which trouble is running interference for their solution, was to make the europeans forced them to buy us gas. that would cause prices arise in the us as well as more volume sales in europe. but the problem was,

the gas was just too much more expensive and the pins just waited out. doing that now you got to know the done deal and they got to cover up somehow, you know, buyers coming back with his tax concessions and they position a whole thing with regard to ukraine to make it look like the u. s. is still being tough and isn't considered in russia. germany is scrambling to overcome the aftermath of the was flooding in western europe in years. hundreds are still missing as hopes faith that moves survivors will be found underneath the rubble of the flash floods struck quest in germany, part of belgium, the netherlands on luxembourg. in germany, though the death tolls was 200 people, with more expected to be identified. critics have blamed the deaths on deficiencies in the storm warning system. the german government has a mocked 400000000 euros in immediate age for the victims. and and alarming escalation,

sewage has been mixing with drinking water as waste systems have been disrupted by the floods. we heard from german hygiene us to raise concerns about the threat of poisoning and the to the my dog. we have never had such a situation in germany, at least not in this extreme. we don't have a clean separation between drinking water and sewage at the moment. the water that flowed through the streets in the villages was a mixture of extra mint, and rainwater termination is very high. we do not know what is left in the flood zones. don't inhale anything and don't swallow anything because there are also environmental toxins and things like that. of course, the danger of illnesses or poisoning is great. we have had the safest drinking water in the whole world, almost sterile. that's over now. the big question is, what comes out of the water pipes of the houses if they are still standing? the people will certainly be supplied with water canisters, bottles and bottles, water. all this has to be brought in by trucks. that is also a huge problem because we hardly have any roads that are passable flows. the

situation is improving day by day. in the beginning, it was certainly a big problem for the south africa is still reeling from its most devastating riots and decades sparked by the recent jailing of former president j consumer. and while the chaos has led to more than $200.00 deaths and thousands of arrests, local says the situation could father deteriorate economic losses. i estimated almost $2000000.00. well, let's quickly take a look at what's been happening in the country. in recent weeks, the highway of death, golf for that's what it looks like down. yeah. if you carry on further down the road because burnt out,

recalls the roads due to everything that actually the burning way out of the burning. ah, now you know, the moment you have this one favorite and this is the only place that now we're getting food from, we just stood out there to protect all families. well, just to recap, former president jacob to see him, i was sentenced to 15 months in prison for contempt of court. that's up to he refused to appear before traditional inquiry, investigate and corruption. during his 9 year rule, we want to speak to zoom, a son who's been accused of instigating the recent violence. but he categorically deny allegations it's unacceptable what has happened and i'm talking about the level of devastation and

destruction, vandalism, to, to property. and just the one to looting is something that should not be celebrated, should be denounced, which i have done and continue to do. so not being labeled as is one of the people, one of the instigators and not officially so much as making that other circle around social media commentary and some of the news networks, which is the side of things on the trip. if you look at the basis of those allegations, it's completely baseless. you have certain video clips that have my voice can image which, which are real. but then they taken, taken out of context in relation to the video in its entirety and the message that i was trying to, to put across. so if you look at what i was saying, and i was saying it was done at a time with the beginnings of it, but it happened. this was 3 days into, into what happened. we understand our country. so it was my way of trying to deal

with the situation by 1st denouncing its in. secondly, denying my involvement in the real issue. the issue is the, the high levels of poverty. and then secondly, the lockdown, exacerbating the level because now you've got more people falling into the bracket of some unemployed and, and disparate and hungry. he's been charged in a restaurant with out of a fair trial. and i find that very, very, very suspicious. and the reason i say that is let him out, let him go through the rigmarole in the processes of a child, whether you like him or not. who knows? you might, he might end up getting 15 years or not 15 months, but, you know, you need to go through that process conscious. be processing, as well as that from the teacher facade. but remember, we continue all walk on

r t dot com. we got so many stories waiting for you to do, take a look. but as for me, i hope that you stop by soon the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter does that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is too great truck rather than fear i would take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with exist.
