ah, the chilling effect on media freedom that is the reaction to a new law proposed by the u. k. government, which could threaten investigative journalists with prison if they expose the secret. while reporters point out the hypocrisy of the us secretary of state claiming he defends independent journalists worldwide, while doing everything to lock up the songs for the rest of his life. your democratic party mares prioritize flashing police budgets, although at the same time ramp up spending for their own private security. ah
9:01 pm
. our broadcasting lab direct from a studio mosque of this is art international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. locked up for reporting the truth. god is the fate facing journalists. if a proposed british law is passed, reporters and their sources could be treated like spies and publishing government secrets can see them. jailed for up to 14 years, ortiz model guns. do 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 and also disclosure maybe as or more serious in terms of intent and or damage. what's more,
9:02 pm
the legislation seeks to remove with her blue protections, even if what they leaked is in the public interest. and stead 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 which raises 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 up version of the secret little has nothing to do with the
9:03 pm
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 the 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 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,
9:04 pm
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 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. are 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 6 major poured into
9:05 pm
journalists can be more dangerous than obviously the u. s. as prosecuting play juanita found that the jack this secretary secretary is backing a consultation document. that suggests that journalists that much worked in spite 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 it created and modified over centuries. so that's, that's quite how dangerous the official secrets act before looks to be. meanwhile, across the atlantic, the u. s. secretary of state has been accused of hypocrisy when it comes to journalism. he wants ricky lease founder gillian assange to face trial for
9:06 pm
publishing american state secrets. but at the same time says he supports the work of reporters around the world. the upshot of the ongoing trump by the prosecution of julian sons in the united states, believes old journalists, whatever their nationality, wherever they are, have a legal duty to keep the us government's 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. 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 joanna sons is a criminal. lincoln supposed to came in support of any iranian american journalist and host of voice of america. she is an outspoken critic of iran in last week said she was the target of
9:07 pm
a kidnapping plant by running intelligence that was foiled by the f b. i. meanwhile, journalist and wiki league sandra sanchez, 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, new faces up to 175 years behind bars. we discussed this on just situation with author daniela's arm 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 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 guy could land you a life sentence and
9:08 pm
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. land. 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, suffering an unprecedented wave of violence, mass shootings and murders with homicides up 15 percent from last year. alone is coincided with a huge cut in police budgets, backed by a democratic party mares over claims that the force is suffering from systemic racism. but the same officials are also increasing spending on their own police
9:09 pm
protection or to kill them up and comments. one of the causes democrats appeared to be most passionate about last year. the fund, the police, many us actual suburbs, suburbs have essentially already begun pursuing a d funding up the police in that they fund school based on housing and they for health care. more as their number one priority in many cities in america, over one 3rd, their city budget goes to police. so we have to have this conversation. what are we doing? we made a group, we did not tell them the upload police department, but some democratic mares around the country seemed 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 called police budgets.
9:10 pm
however, what open the books dot com or this is found with that 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 of his, his police forces spending. we can re allocate funding, making efficiencies and police departments, but he was more than happy to allocate $3600000.00 to his personal protection. in 2020, the san francisco mayor brown, even bigger cuts. eric are said, he 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 would 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 ensure safety with question. we can't rely upon the police to provide public safety at the same time,
9:11 pm
not just the mayor of chicago, but on name the city officials felt pretty safe in the windy city. they had $17000000.00 allocated for just that. 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 the the when people think of
9:12 pm
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. it's paramount that our residents, our 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 defended, 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, the misled, 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
9:13 pm
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 is getting worse. it's an ideology that's strictly among the, 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 as methods arrive, there are voting based rally and brown. the more south africa is trying to recover from its most devastating riots in decades, sparked by the jailing of former president jacob zoom up, the chaos has leaded to more than 200 deaths, thousands of arrests and an estimated $2000000000.00, some damage. but local sphere the situation could deteriorate further. let's take a look at how recent events have unfolded in the country. the
9:14 pm
highway 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, but due to everything. factory the burning of the burning. ah. you know, the at the moment you approaching this complet, there's one chain of favorite and this is the only place that now we're getting food from the we just stood out there to protect all families. former president jacobs, who was sentenced to 15 months in prison for contempt of court after he refused to appear before a judicial inquiry investigating corruption. during his 9 year rule,
9:15 pm
we spoke to zoom a son who has 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 the 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 side of things on the trip. 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
9:16 pm
entirety and the message 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 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 denying my involvement in the real issue, the issues of 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 unemployed and, and disparate and hungry, he's been charged in a restaurant with out of trump. and i find that very, very, very suspicious. and the reason i say that is let him out. let him go through
9:17 pm
the, the rigmarole in the processes of a child, whether you like him or not. who knows? you might end up getting 15 years or not 15 months, but you know, you need to go through that process of conscious the process that's ignoring 911 victims families are outraged at media claims that the capital right was a bleaker day for america saying it is a deliberate dehumanization of their tragedy for political gain. i would like to see january 6th as burned into the american mind as firmly as 911, because it was that scale of shock to the system. january 6th was worse than 911 because it's continued to rip our country apart and give permission for people to pursue autocratic means you cannot equate the last will be more like 911 to generate it does raise
9:18 pm
a lot of concern for the victim and survivors from the handful of people who suddenly died on the rectum of generally sick to more than 3000 people that died on 911. that makes no sense and not counting the people, the hundreds of thousands of people that i know rack. and i can use them because i'm wearing carts into the work because of 911 doesn't make. and then the $911.00 terror tag claim to almost $3000.00 lives and left many more injured. but while victims relatives believe comparing it to other violent incidents, downplays what happened? some politicians find it appropriate to use the same rhetoric while speaking about the right on capital hill. today we've had a national and i've ordered that the full resources, the federal government to help the victims and their families. and to conduct a full scale investigation. to hunt down and to try and those folks
9:19 pm
the committee again, january 6, was one of the darkest days in our nation's history. and so now 3 times, it is imperative that we establish the truth of that day and ensure that the task of that time cannot happen and that we root out the causes of it all. william rodriguez again says the tragedy of 911 is being used and manipulated by politicians to pursue personal game. they have full of people that handles the government. i have used many 11 success every time that they put year that these could happen again. our tragedy has been used and manipulated by the american psyche for every single act that needs to be changed. it is the same theater, the same play, and the same drama play over and over again using $911.00, a plus b u b or $911.00 for everything that was fuse change last week, savage,
9:20 pm
new requirements, the politics of theater. he's a very, very effective things in the flock of 911 to create a political agenda. one of america's most powerful politicians, house speaker nancy pelosi has been cashing in on big tech investments, which she just happens to also be regulating. that is the revelation from a new probe. breaking down the story with commentary. here's our daily katrinka. 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? welf. 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
9:21 pm
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 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 peck. 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
9:22 pm
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 space 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. they're 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 tax ceos. and the meantime, a bill that supposed to fix a loophole and the legislation that favors these very knowledgeable executives has
9:23 pm
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 yourself, myself. like so much else, congress does. and the security regulators do. they enjoy the privilege of
9:24 pm
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 theaters are crying foul after a huge number of performances were cancelled due to coven quarantine rules, including those staged at the west end. this is despite england, so called reopening that was meant to see months of restrictions lifted, reporting from the u. k. here's martin enters it was been to be the ground reopening with social distance thing and mosques out and see it says back to full capacity, but it's already cut down for several phase productions this week. thanks to the m h s truck and trace 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
9:25 pm
all been seen by the cobra. fucking out, government has absolutely messed up all of a 1000 and bars. johnson 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 people have to close because of an arbitrary pick. the 10 day isolation rule is set to remain until the middle of august. that's when those double jobs can dodge it, even if they're in close contact with a coven case. but while most businesses can cover those often, now theater is unique. more costs 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 see it is if one member of the company test positive, 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 football matches,
9:26 pm
you 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 class from tax, but actually, and faith of good didn't give a looking at all the fact that you can have all the people at 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 is unworkable. you can see people testing negative stuff at home and unable to work for 10 days. it's just really produces are very good at finding ways around things, but it's costing them money each time and having to reset or cold or a house. so 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
9:27 pm
to understand what is treated saying it's crazy how much money we say bring it in extreme radiation right online or in the fall just should now avoid using the word bird. while horse lovers must no longer talk about fillies, that is the conclusion of the new york gardening group that was banned by facebook for mentioning a garden tool, also seen as a derogatory word for women. ah ah ah
9:28 pm
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah, ah, ah, just got notified by facebook the photo used for all walla walla onions the it over the sexual and therefore cannot be advertised to be sold on their platform. can you see it there haven't here watching our teacher national be back in, let's say 31 minutes with another full and fresh. the good news. say with
9:29 pm
9:30 pm
a place in the market and the marketplace of ideas in 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 pullman dialogue through the magic of free free. so what do you, as the thing is that they no longer have the confidence 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 the 1st amendment the. there's a world to have a right to know about the origin of the crowd of ours. well, china doesn't think so, as they will not allow the world health organization to continue their investigation. this is federal agencies say a chinese hackers have a decade long history of hacking american pipelines.
