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 authorized disclosure maybe as or more serious incentive intent and or damage. what's more, the legislation seeks to remove with blue protections, even if what they leaked is in the public interest. and stead it's 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 the government is engaged in something immoral or illegal trays is an interesting question. what if it's their boss that's doing something immoral like the health secretary and leaks video kissing a coworker after he 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 secrecy. lou has nothing to do with the resignation of hancock officially, but it would have made the scandal very nearly impossible. see any journalist to share this with your shed. anything that they received problem with blue could 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
11:04 am
the harsh sentences and the least than 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 spies. if the government doesn't have enough evidence to jail, but there may be a strong intelligence case to suggest if an individual is engage in hostile activity, but will 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 and make no mistake. this, this new secret law would give the most authoritarian regimes in the world a run for their money. in the past, we feel 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 $66.00 page report itself fundamental to the $56.00 page report, journalists can be more dangerous than spotlights. obviously, the u. s. is prosecuting fe julian assigned to the, the as been jack. this own secretary. secretary is backing a consultation document that suggest 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. so journalists have to be done. that is, is 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
11:06 am
that have been created and modified over centuries. so that's, that's quite how dangerous the official secrets act reform looks to be. and on a related issue across the atlantic, the u. s. secretary of state is accused of massive hypocrisy after anthony blink and claimed unwavering support for independent journalists around the world. the upshot of the ongoing trump by the prosecution of julian sons in the united states, believes old jordan louis, whatever the 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 jet, has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from u. s. government propaganda organ, voice of america, to agitate for regime change in iran. in the bazaar logic of us empire,

she's an independent journalist. andrew and assange is a criminal. lincoln's post came in support of an iranian american journalist and the voice of america host who is an outspoken critic of to run. last week she claimed to be the target of a kidnapping plot by iranian intelligence that was apparently foiled by the f. b. i . as i've mentioned earlier, critics laughed at the hypocrisy and blinking statement, given washington's attitude to the likes of julian songs. just a reminder of the journalist and wiki leaks, founder has spent more than 2 years and a maximum security prison in london state side. the us justice department has charged him under the espionage act, accusing him of leaking classified information back in 2010. if extradited to the u . s. a. san faces up to 175 years behind bars. we discussed a sanchez situation with author. daniel was there who thinks that no reporter is now safe. every american journalist will be under threat. i mean, it's a, it's a,
11:08 am
the prosecution of massage is a dagger aimed at the heart of us journalism. and that's what the by da ministration is doing. and that's what antony. blanca stands for. if the sarge prosecution goes forward, then every journalist will be threatened with a similar legal charges and espionage is a very dangerous thing. espionage guy 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, it's our global viewpoint is distorted by a narcissistic pers national personality on the part of the political lead, which sees everything through a pro u. s. lens. the u. s is always. busy 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 have killed dozens and forced a quarter of a 1000000 people from their homes and what's being called the heaviest strains in a millennium. whole streets of this city have turned into river. authorities are ramping up rescue and recovery operations. and many people are still being reported missing. you can see on the map behind me in the worst hit region in red hin on province. its largest city is on the yellow river. the banks of which have burst and forecasters predict grim days to come with dangerously heavy rain and winds typhoon making the havoc worse is also expected to hit coastal regions which you can see marked in yellow. and in that region, among them is shanghai reported for, for chinese, for china's c g t and news outlet paints the picture in the provinces biggest city. yesterday

11:12 am
furious reaction and claims 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 thing is that they just do not understand the quality point once. is that even possible? can you please stop the 4th beginning on since at your beach handbook? games, it's embarrassing, disgraceful and sexist. your ruining birth is port and your own reputation. make the international handbook federation. officials where bikini bottoms for a week. the rules will be changed quickly. why do you force women to, to be hands born outfits that sexual, objectify and expose them? come back to the 21st century and immediately bullish this outdated rules. the rules allow male players to wear shorts, but not females. a federation spokes person admitted that she herself did not know the reason for this while insisting that the issue was not
11:13 am
a priority ahead of the olympics or way has campaigned against this rule for 15 years now. and the teams short wearing is a deliberate protest. it's not the 1st time though that sportswear has caused such controversy earlier this year at a beach volleyball tournament and guitar. players were infuriated after being asked to swap pakenio for shirts and trousers. though her then backed down and said it was not to requirement at the upcoming tokyo olympics, swimmers have been banned from wearing special caps, designed for people with afro hairstyles. after the backlash came up, that decision has come under review. and last week, a double para olympic world champion, express disgust after an official complaint that her sprint briefs were too short. my colleague, rory, sushi discussed the rights of athletes with a panel of guests. they should give them the money back and say, to get the whole thing. we're going to exercise a bit of common sense flexibility and get in sync with desired god. it's only just
11:14 am
over 1516 years ago that then president of thief, soccer's governing organization. ready set black with encouraging female football as to our time skimpy clothes because he felt that it would make them more marketable. ready this is almost unthinkable to ask a women, a serious women's 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 insurance at this competition were well aware of the rules. you can have a duration where one of the same abuse is the role is because remember, a precedent for all other schools. if you're going to data sort of thing you got to cooperation with seems it seems that those are the for women. this change,
11:15 am
this change, we need scenario, how many opportunities actually won't change as well room from there, stupid like this rule that can be not abide and actually well done to this brave women that finally they showed the sexism in there for duration. you have to stop the thinking that to women's bodies are for the show and they have something sexual with them. so of course, it's a problem to have a bikini, you know how much you have to move when you play football. the beginning 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 quest and setup for other sports teams, say post tons and then pines, funds. they may be getting 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 they've got to read. the news
11:16 am
is a sexualization of women. whether they stages or not, if irrelevant is if you demand of a woman that she is in a bikini rather than 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 that is all for the pool. women's chains of complaint does that mean, but the rest of the famous all quite happy. why katy boffins baby and the son the atmosphere and by applying in that they find it more comfortable to where the katie 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,
11:17 am
of course not. we wanted the atlas to be comfortable with their plane. we want them to perform at their best south africa recovering from its most devastating riots and decades sparked by the jailing of former president, jacob's zoom up. the chaos has led to more than $200.00 deaths, thousands of arrests and an estimated $2000000000.00 in damages. but local fear the situation could deteriorate further. let's take a look at how recent events have unfolded in the country. the highway of death go for this. what it looks like down, you know, if you carry on further down the road, because burnt out, recalls the roads loose and everything. actually the burning way out of the burning
11:18 am
. the you know, the, at the moment you purchase this one favorite. and this is the only place that now we're getting food from. we just stood out there to protect our families. former president jacob zoom was sentenced to 15 months in prison for contempt of court. after he refused to appear before judicial inquiry investigating corruption during his 9 year rule, we spoke to my son who has been accused of instigating the recent violence and allegation that he personally denies. it's unacceptable what has happened and i'm talking about the level of devastation and instruction vandalism, to, to property. and just the one to looting is something that should not be celebrated,
11:19 am
should be denounced, which i have done. and i'll 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 them use networks which is the side of things on the tree. if you look at the basis of those allegations, that's completely baseless, you have certain video clips that have my voice can image which, which are you. but them, they taking, 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 it. and secondly,
11:20 am
denying my involvement in the real issue, the issues on the high levels of poverty. and then secondly, the lockdown, exacerbating the level of it. because now you've got more people falling into the bracket of unemployed and, and desperate 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 trial, 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 and con, just be a process that's ignored. one of america's most powerful politicians. how speaker nancy pelosi has been caching in on big tech investments,
11:21 am
which she just so happens to also be regulating. that's the revelation from a new probe. breaking down that story for you is r t 's ilia patricia go. well, did you know that the top democrat in the house is also a top notch stock trader, a true talent together with her husband, a bit of pelosi math for you, her personal wealth. stand that nearly $100.00. 15000000, which is quite an increase from 41000000 in 2004. good for her. one very important disclaimer. i'm in no way of saying madam speaker is doing anything wrong or breaking the law. but i'll be moving on to a combined lesson of pelosi mass with the touch of pelosi ethics for that. let me refer to an investigation by journalist glen greenwald. much of their that below c's added wealth is due to extremely lucrative and like you decisions about when to buy and sell stocks and options in the very industries and companies over which
11:22 am
pelosi as how speaker exercises enormous and direct influence. oh, there's so much context to dig into. it turns out close to 3 quarters of the couple of stock trading over the last 2 years has been in big tech. and i'll tell you what, right, at this point the us lawmakers are in the midst of revamping legislation that could really make life much more difficult for the tech giants. they're working on something called the anti trust reform. that would propel market competition while taking install on monopolies. so have a guess which super powerful executive has made a personal call to madam speaker, to talk the house out of proceeding with the reform. apple. c o, tim cook. and what about the company in which the clothes he traded most often? it's apple trading has always been controversial because it's basically
11:23 am
a victimless crime. no one is hurt by it. and the only argument against that could be made in the one that has been made is that a reduces faith in the securities markets. this entire episode where congress has been engaging what the rest of us would be thrown in jail for shows that it's regulators and congress not markets that are not worth the public trust. nancy pelosi may well not be receiving any insider knowledge from the companies she's regulating. even if she does get some of it, maybe she never uses it when trading, but she's apparently very close with these big tech fios and the meantime, a bill that's supposed to fix a loophole. and the legislation that favors these very knowledgeable executives has been revived on capital hill. corporate executive shouldn't be allowed to trade on significant information ahead of the public and invest those. but that's exactly what's happening because of this legal loophole. hoops. so for god knows how many years big bosses with close ties to very powerful people on the hill have legally
11:24 am
been able to get away with what looks very much like insider trading. is started, trading is supposed to be handled by the security securities exchange commission. but since those officials are approved by congress, and since congress makes the laws that apply to itself, where every year americans are treated to the spectacle of congress giving themselves raises, for example, it's reasonable for americans to strongly doubt that anything lasting is going to be done inside trading can be regulated and it has been for the common person yourself, myself. like so much else, congress does. and the security regulators do. they enjoy the privilege of exempting themselves. busy when and how they watch, whether it's fair to allow law makers to get richer from buying and selling stocks because they know stuff that nobody else does. has long been up for debate in america. well, experts often come to the conclusion that current laws don't give prosecutors
11:25 am
a chance. that's the news for this. our stay tuned for more and just about 30 minutes. me the the who's, [000:00:00;00] who's ah, ah,

11:30 am
campus. and he had a felony against him and they haven't charged him with it yet. but he was pending to all these deliveries since they took place on campus. both on their hands, so they're passing on and then he told us that andrew was a competent, short form. it asked for you to do is to do some buyers for me that were you that to where wire, you have to go buy marijuana. i didn't even know what that was, and i had no idea what he was even talking about what that meant. me each individual we do, we have to do 2 deals. okay, so you are thinking, well this is susan the andrew. how can he, how can this have you been talking about the same guy?
