fumbled the lock on the none of my new metals charged on top of the headlines and i see a chilling effect. so media freedom that reaction to a new job. why the u. k. government, which could threaten investigative journalist prison if they expose the secret report. the point that the, the pope received the us secretary of state claiming the defend ms worldwide. while doing everything we can to lock up to the songs for the rest of his life. and us democratic party med prioritize, slashing police budgets for the same time ramp up, spending on their own private security. ah,

i welcome good. even just going 11 o'clock in moscow, you without international. i looked up for reporting the true fence, the fate facing june. this, if a propos, british law is passed, reporters on their sources could be treated like spies and publishing government secrets could see them jailed for up to 14 years were cast the f. as the story a journalists can do as much harm to britain as a foreign spot to 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 offences, there are cases where no stories 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 in the least 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 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 who shared this video shared anything that they received problem 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 on 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 than the databases of potential threats, there are special powers that the government wants to give itself the power to punish and restricted the vigils be they journalists or foreign spies. if the government doesn't have enough evidence to jail them, there may be a strong intelligence case to suggest as an individual is engage in hostile activity,

but to 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 that make no mistake. this, this new secret law would give the most authors area and 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 press 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 page report. journalists can be more dangerous than spice. obviously the u.

s. is prosecuting fade junior sans on the espionage act. this own secretary, secretary is backing a consultation document and 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 seriously the level of logic and deduction that is being used here by the british government in 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 reform looks to be. meanwhile, across the atlantic, the us secretary of state has been accused of hypocrisy when it comes to journalism, he wants wikileaks found a jewelry massage to face trial for publishing american state secrets. but at the

same time, he says that he supports the work of reporters around the world. the upshot of the ongoing trump by the prosecution of julian sons, is the united states, believes old george las, whatever the nationality wherever they are, have a legal duty to keep the u. s. government durgy secrets. now, i'm sorry, but that's not support. enjoy unless every us media outlets had lambert this comment and reference assange, but they won't because they suck messiah alina. john 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 bazaar logic of us empire, she's an independent journalist and drew an assange is a criminal opening cans boasted. come in support of an iranian american journalist and host of voice of america. she is an outspoken critic of iran, and last week said that she was the target of a kidnapping plot by raining intelligence that was foiled by the f b. i. i mean,

while journalist weekly found san who has spent more than 2 years in a maximum security prison in london, the us justice department has charged him under the espionage act, accusing him of leaking classified information back in 2010 and if expedited to america, he does face up to 175 years behind bars. we discussed julius on the situation with the author. i know his are. he does think now that no reporter is safe. every american journalist will be under threat. i mean, it's a, it's a, the prosecution of a sergeant, the dagger aimed at the heart of us journalism. and that's what the, by the ministration is doing. and that's what antony. blanca 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 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 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. marycris, suffering. an unprecedented wave of aisles. the moment mass shooting the murders with homicides up 15 percent from last year alone is coincided with a huge cut in police budgets by democratic party mares reclaims the force is suffering from systemic racism. but those same officials are also increasing

spending on their own police protection can. i'm often picks up the story. one of the causes democrats appeared to be most passionate about last year. the fun to the police, many off absolutely suburbs, suburbs have essentially already begun pursuing a d funding up the police in that they fund school based on housing. and they found health care more as their number one priority in many cities in america, over one 3rd of their city budget goes to police. so we have to have this conversation. what are we doing? we made completely not. so let me upload police department. but some democratic mares around the country seem to have mixed feelings. while they did cut the police budget, they certainly did not have a problem splashing cash on their own personal protection. in 25 major us cities, officials have proposed cutting or in 20 cases already caught police budgets.

however, what open the books dot com auditors found with the mayor and city officials still enjoy personal protection of a dedicated police detail costing taxpayers millions of dollars. let's compare and contrast baltimore mayor shopped a huge chunk off of his police force is spending. we can re allocate funding, making efficiencies in our police department. but he was more than happy to allocate $3600000.00 to his personal protection in 2020, the san francisco mayor brown of even bigger cuts. eric are said he and i was one of the 1st to say i'm going to redirect reef funding from the police department to programs and the african american community. i instantly i was like to do that. she also gave herself an even bigger budget for her personal guard, a cool 12000000. now in chicago, the force was slashed all while its ability to insure safety with question. we can't rely upon the police to provide public safety at the same time,

not just the mayor of chicago, but unnamed city officials felt pretty safe in the windy city. they had $17000000.00 allocated for just that. and here's new york city mayor, bill diblasio. we will be moving funding from the n y p d to youth initiatives and social services. still, he was perfectly fine travelling around the country on a presidential campaign where the security detail that cost $350000.00. now these democratic mayers may feel safe and snug, but a lot of the people they serve don't as violence and crime source. it's so bad that when you look at the recent numbers, more people are dying of gun violence. then of course, the me

when people think of defining the police, you're going to be taking away training programs. community programs that are police related and the crime is going to go up its paramount that our residents are . business owners are visitors of the cities are the ones who are protected more than the politicians. so it's, it's a slap in the face to build the voting base who voted these elected officials in to see their police being the funded, or the, the proposition for them to be funded. but then the privatized boosted the security being bolstered around them. that's hypocrisy. and it's nauseating, only seems to happen in democrat run cities, the violence, the, the, the police to funding the, the misled, misguided public that is lied to by the politicians. this only seems to be an

epidemic. it's happening in the democrats, cities and the numbers. the numbers prove it defined, the police may sound like a great slogan, but it seems to have been a decision made in the heap of the moment. because judging by their own action, that seems like the personal protection of many mayor, that something they don't want to cut back on anytime soon. sadly, i think it's dumb. i think it goes back to the political theatre and they, the politicians think that the, the citizens that they represent will look at them the 1st place. they're not going to be catching on to this apocryphal. it's just getting bad. it's getting worse. it's, it's an ideology that's strictly among the, the liberal democrats. as you can see these in the cities, and it's just bad. it, it's nothing more than political theater as methods arrive there, there are voting based, rally brown. the more now south africa is trying to recover from its most devastating rights and decades sparked by the jailing. a former president,

jacob sigma the chaos has led to more than $200.00 deaths and thousands of arrests and an estimated $2000000000.00 in damage. but lycos do fear that the situation could deteriorate further. so let's have a quick look at how recent events have unfolded in the country. the hallway of def golf for. that's what it looks like down. yeah. if you carry on further down the road because burnt out, recalls in the road, abuse and everything that actually the burning of the burning. ah, you know, the at 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. while the former president jacobs, who was sentenced to 15 months in prison for contempt for contempt of court after he refused to appear before judicial inquiry, investigating corruption during his 9 year rule. now we spoke to him, his son, who's been accused of instigating the recent violence and allegation, he denies. it's unacceptable what has happened and i'm talking about the level of devastation and destruction, vandalism, to, to property. and just the wanton looting is something that should not be celebrated, 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 the news networks, which is the 1st thing from the truth. if you look at the basis of those allegations, that's completely baseless, you have certain video clips that have my voice and image which, which are you. but i'm 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 if that was done at a time where the beginnings of it had, but it happened that this was 3 days into, into what had happened. we understand our country. so it was my way of trying to deal with the situation by 1st denouncing authentic and lead denying my involvement in the real issue, the issues of 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 desperate and hungry he's been charged in a recent without of a federal 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 a process that's ignored. international still had to decide british, this is criticized government rules, forcing them to cancel performances. if just one single actor gets corona virus, we'll have a look at the details on this story for service to just after the news

. i me ah ah, i use join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the

world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the the, the, the ah. welcome back. now one of america's most powerful politicians have speak, and nancy pelosi has been cashing in on big tech investments, which she just happens to also be regulating. and that's the revelation from a new investigation breaking down the story. is it for tracking? 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 a 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 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 joins. 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 posies traded most often? it's apple trading has always been controversial because it's basically a victimless crime. no one is hurt by it. and the only argument against that that could be made in the one that has been made is that a reduces space, 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 that when trading. but she's apparently very close with these big tech ceos. 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 been able to get away with what looks very much like insider trading. is started trading is supposed to be handled by the secure is 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 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 a chance. london, it is a crying foul after a huge number of performances were cancelled due to co. we'd quarantine rules including those stage, the west end. that is despise england. so called reopening that was meant to see month restrictions lifted, reporting from the u. k. his martin enters, it was meant to be the ground reopening with social distance thing and mosques out

and see it is back to full capacity. but it's already cut down to several face productions this week. thanks to the m h. s truck and tre, scheme over it doesn't shows in the west end across the country, having force to suck off members have tested positive towards the eye. so they've all been seen by the cobra. fluttering out. yeah, government has absolutely stopped paying all of a 1000 and bodies. johnson have done nothing for the, for the last 2 years, they claim to have done with a cultural recovery fund that is only available with very few people. it doesn't mean the whole of everything, and it also includes museums. they've done absolutely nothing and it just seems incredibly unfair that supermarket can stay open and people have to close because of an arbitrary pink. the 10 day isolation rule is set to remain until the middle of august. that's when those double jobs can judge it, even if they're in close contact with a coven case. but while most businesses can cover those often, now theater is unique. small cost and limited numbers are under cities. mean, it's just a couple of people are told to isolate the show has to close. there's also another

unique policy to theaters if one member of a company test positive the whole production company must isolate, to feel that the government is completely picking on face all the time. and if you look at something like football matches, we can have many thousands of people there. if you look at everything that happens, but there's a year and final thousands and thousands of people in front tax without and faith didn't get to looking at all. the fact that you can have all the people that wimbledon you can have, just you have loads of people, but the theater, you just can't have anyone at all. well, the news editor of britain's leading entertainment newspaper does say when it comes to their industry, the rules simply don't work. it's very difficult situation is on lack of going to have 60 people testing negative stuff at home and unable to work for 10 days is just really produces are very good at finding ways around things, but it's costing them money each time and having to reset the records or hassles, it's very difficult to have proved to be very patient to be very,

very strict measure them. and they can to make sure that the costs. and so when you say the crowd scattering will be very hard to understand why it isn't treated, saying it's crazy how much money we say bring it in extreme radiation, right? this time it takes us, suffered another major blow because after being delayed a year, because of the pandemic, a total of 80 athletes to compete of non tested positive for cove it. however, despite the country being in a state of emergency mid sparling, new infections organizes, do insist, the venues are safe haven today, several national teams have reported new code cases among their competitors,

with one athlete warning that the infection is actually ended. her korea. we're taking organizing committee says it is still, it still could cancel the games the last moment and we'll monitor, hired a virus situation develops. we spoke to sports columnist as well as the japanese doctor on the risks of suspending the olympics for a 2nd time diesel. people who say no to the last you do or they want to again, they're being charged as possible. will be great to be thinking or maybe already need a lot of people backing in every sense for is better law. you're going to go ahead, go ahead. i mean, i did just probably delete your list, the real blue. i think i actually dr. watson because this is going to be, it has to be unique. i think the job i should do,

whatever the job is to minimize the risk of exposing transmission longhand you know, the oriented should be so so, so i just tried and of course people very willing to welcome the visitors that on the other hand, i'm very confused by the crime state of infection and transmission and through the measure of the job of the people are opposing to hold, you know, and then picks all the years. that instruction will lessen. whereas in fact, grow though actually each and shows. so in a sense, the people very confused and frustrated. i find that online or not ologist should now avoid using the word bird and horse lovers must no longer talk about philly's. that is the conclusion by new york gardening group that was banned by facebook for mentioning a simple garden tool that also happens to be

a derogatory word for women. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

ah, ah, just notified by facebook the photo used for all walla walla onions the over the sexual and therefore cannot be advertised to be on their platform. can you see it? i'm not sure lot for this i that's havanese is looking at our table back again about 30 me. ah, me and i make no, you know, board is my number t's as emerge. we don't have authority. we don't actually the whole world.
