happening the the, the a chilling effect on the meteor freedom, that's the reaction to a new law proposed by the u. k. government, which could threaten investigation. investigative journalists with prison, exposes state secrets. while the quarters point out the hypocrisy of the us secretary of state claiming the defense independent journalist worldwide, while doing everything to lock up julian assigned for the rest of his life. us democratic party mares of prioritize slashing police budgets. although at the same time ramp up, spending on their own private security ah,

broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our to international, i'm sure. on thomas mcguire to have he was locked up for reporting the truth. that is the fate facing journalist if a proposed british law is passed reporters and their sources could be threatened and treated like spies and publishing government secrets could see them jailed for up to 14 years. but i guess you have comments. 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 offenses, there are cases where an authorized disclosure maybe as or more serious incentive
7:02 pm
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. instead, 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'd obliged millions to abide by his own 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
7:03 pm
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 journalists 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 the harsh sentences and the least and the data bases 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
7:04 pm
to jail, but there may be a strong intelligence case to suggest as an individual is engaging 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 and make no mistake this, this new secret law would give the most or 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 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
7:05 pm
the 56 page report is that journalists can be more dangerous than spun life. obviously, the u. s. is prosecuting fe julian assigned to the b. as in jack, this secretary, 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. so journalists have to be done. that is, is the level of logical 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 reform looks to be. meanwhile, across the atlantic, the u. s. secretary state has been accused of hypocrisy when it comes to journalism
7:06 pm
. he wants wiki leagues founder gillian songs to face trial for publishing american state feed grits. but at the same time, he says 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 jordan race, whatever their 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 at lambert this comment and reference assange, but they won't because they suck messiah alina. jad has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from u. s. government propaganda, oregon, the 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 boast came in support of an iranian american journalist and a host of voice of america. she's an outspoken critic of tongue in last week said
7:07 pm
she was the target of a kidnapping plant by iranian intelligence that was foiled by the f b. i. meanwhile, journalist and ricky weeks, founder of songs, has spent more than 2 years in a maximum security prison in london. us justice department has charged him under the espionage act, accusing him of leaking classified information in 2010. and if extradited to america, he faces up to 175 years behind bars. we discussed a sondra situation with author daniela's our who thinks 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 da 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. ringback legal charges and espionage is
7:08 pm
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. america is suffering an unprecedented wave of violence mass shootings and murders with homicides up 15 percent from last year alone. it's coincided with a huge cut in police budgets backed by
7:09 pm
a democratic party mayers over claims that the force is suffering from systemic racism. but those same officials are also increasing spending on their own police protection or to kill him up. comments. one of the causes democrats appeared to be most passionate about last year. the fun to the police, many absolutely suburbs, suburbs have essentially already begun pursuing the funding of the police in that be fun school based on housing and the 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 may completely not hold them in the uploads 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 cache on their own personal protection. in 25 major us cities,
7:10 pm
officials have proposed cutting or in 20 cases already caught police budgets. however, what's open the books dot com or this is found with may as 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 as 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 and even bigger costs. eric are said, he was one of the 1st to say, i'm going to redirect, receive 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 flashed all while its ability to insure safety with question. we
7:11 pm
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 de blasio, 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 with the security detail that costs $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
7:12 pm
drug with the 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 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 nauseated. only seems to happen in democrat run cities, the violence, the, the police to funding the, the misled,
7:13 pm
misguided public that is lied to by the politicians. this only seems to be an epidemic that's happening in the democrats, cities and the numbers. the numbers prove it defined, the police may sound like a great logan, 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 mares is 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 who are lucky them the 1st place. they're not going to be catching on to this hoc received. it's just getting bad is getting worse. it's an ideology that's strictly among the are the liberal democrats, as you can see in the, in the cities. and it's just bad. it, it's nothing more than political theatre. this message arrived. they're very, are voting based, rally and brown. the more south africa is trying to recover from its most
7:14 pm
devastating riots and decades sparked by the jailing of former president jacob zoom . the chaos has led to more than $200.00 deaths, thousands of arrests and an estimated to $2000000000.00 in damage. but local sphere the situation could deteriorate further. let's take a look at how recent events have unfolded in the country. the hallway of death go 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 burning. ah, you know, the,
7:15 pm
at the moment you purchase this conflict here, this one the favorite. and this is the only place that now we're getting food strong. we just stood out there to protect all families. former president jacob zoom was sentenced to 15 months in prison for contempt of court. after he refused to appear before a traditional inquiry investigating corruption during his 9 year rule, we spoke to zoom as son who has been accused of instigating the recent violence and allegation he did not. it's a sense of what has happened and i'm talking about the level of devastation and destruction, vandalism, to the property. and just the one to 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,
7:16 pm
one of the instigators and not officially so much as making that other circle around on 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, it's completely baseless. you have certain video clips that have my voice and image which, which are real. but then 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 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 it in. secondly, denying my involvement in the real issue. the issue is the high levels of poverty and things that can neither lockdown,
7:17 pm
exacerbating the labels. because now you've got more people falling into the bracket of unemployed and, and desperate and hungry he's been charged and erased into 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 and con, just be a process that's ignored, hasn't program. the british theaters, criticize government roles, forcing them to cancel performances. if one actor gets virus more on this story after a short break, this is our, the i
7:18 pm
the democratic dominated select committee investigating the events of january 6 on capital hill has been constituted and will start proceedings next week. would be merely political theatre, proverbial lunchroom food vice on national display. one thing is for sure these proceedings will reflect deep political divisions. fagley finding the truth looks to be of secondary importance. it's like you're walking down a street in a town and in the store and windows are negative. in depression, you tend to go into the store and buy those thoughts and take them home as if they're years. in mindfulness, you walk down the street, you still see the sort storefront with the negative thoughts, but you don't go in and buy those. gosh
7:19 pm
me ah, the mattresses are too international. and one of america's most powerful politicians, house speaker nancy pelosi has been cashed in on big tech investments, which she just happens to also be regulating that the revelation from a new probe breaking down the story with commentary. here's gillian patricia. 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 while stand that nearly 100. 15000000, which is quite an increase from 41000000 in 2004. good for her. one
7:20 pm
very important disclaimer. i'm in no way saying madam speaker, is doing anything wrong or breaking the law. but i'll be moving on to a combined lesson of pelosi math with the touch of pelosi ethics for that. let me refer to an investigation by journalist glen greenwald. much of their that below cease added wealth is due to extremely lucrative and like 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 giants. they're working on something called the anti trust reform. that would propel market competition while
7:21 pm
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 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 company. she's regulating, even if she does get some of it may be, she never uses it when trading, but she's apparently very close with these big tech fios and the meantime,
7:22 pm
a bill that 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 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
7:23 pm
yourself, myself, but 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 lawmakers 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 theaters are crying foul after a huge number of performances were cancelled due to covered quarantine rules including those staged at the west end. that's a, despite england's so called reopening, that was meant to see months of restrictions lifted, reporting from the u. k. here's our teeth. martin enters it was been to be the ground. reopening with social distance thing and mosques out and theatres back to full capacity. but it's already cut down for several phase productions this week. thanks to the m h. s truck and tre,
7:24 pm
scheme over it doesn't shows in the west and across the country, having force to suck the members have tested positive, told to isolate or being seen by the cobra. fucking government has absolutely messed up all of a 1000 and bars jobs and have done nothing for the for the last 2 years. they claim to have done with the cultural recovery funds that there's only available to 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 the supermarket can stay open and faces have to close because of an arbitrary paying the 10 day isolation rule, it's set to remain until the middle of august. that's when those double jobs can judge it, even if they are in close contact with a coven case. but while most businesses can cover those often, now theater is unique. more costs and limited numbers of the 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 see it is if one member of the company test positive,
7:25 pm
the whole production company must isolate to feel that the government is completely picking on say. so all the time and if you look at something like a football match, we can have many thousands of people that if you look at everything that happens every year, a final thousands and thousands of people include from tax, but actually, and faith is good, didn't give a looking at all the thought 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. it's all the news editor of britain's leading entertainment newspaper says when it comes to their industry, the rules simply don't work. it's very difficult situation. it's on lack of 60 people testing, negative stuff that i have 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 or close or so it's very difficult to prove themselves to be very safe patients to be very, very strict rather than i've actually been african,
7:26 pm
they can to make sure that the costs. and so when you say the crowd gathering will be very hard to understand what is treated saying it's crazy how much money we say bring. ready it in extreme ration right online when it's ologist should now avoid using the word bird, while horse lovers must no longer talk about philly's. that's the conclusion by a new york gardening group that was banned by facebook for mentioning a garden tool. that also happens to be a derogatory word for women. ah,
