thoughts will take the home as if they're yours. in mindfulness, you walk down the street, you still see the start storefront with the negative thoughts, but you don't go in and buy those gosh. ah, the chilling effect on media freedom, that's the reaction to a new law proposed by the u. k. government, which could threaten investigative journalists with prison if they expose state secrets. meanwhile, reporters point out the hypocrisy of the us and secretary of state, claiming the defense independent journalist worldwide, while doing everything to walk up join us on for the rest of the life. you have the democrat party mares and prioritize flashing police and budgets. although at the same time ramp up, spending on their own private security ah,

broadcasting live direct, more studios, moscow. this is our international. i'm showing thomas certainly glad to have him with us locked up for reporting the truth. that's the fate facing journalists. if a proposed british law is passed reporters and their sources could be treated like spies and publishing government secrets could see them jailed for up to 14 years. but i got to have comments. a journalists can do as much harm to britain as a foreign spot threw 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 authorize disclosure offenses, there are cases where an authorized disclosure maybe as or more serious in terms of intent and or damage. what's more,
10:02 pm
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 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,
10:03 pm
but it would have made the scandal very nearly impossible. see any journalist to share 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. 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 restrict individuals, be the 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 engaging hostile activity,
10:04 pm
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 make no mistake. this, this new secret law would give the most authoriz area and regimes in the world a run for their money, a pass, 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 page report itself fundamental to the 56 page report is that journalists can be more dangerous than obviously the u.
10:05 pm
s. is prosecuting fe juanita sons on the espionage jack. this own secretary, secretary is backing a consultation document that suggests that journalist 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. journalists have to be done. that is me 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 reform 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 wiki league founder julia sancha to face trial for publishing american
10:06 pm
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 jordan las, 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. 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 bizarre 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 host of the voice of america. she is an outspoken critic of a rung and last week said that she was the target of a kidnapping plant by iranian intelligence that was foiled by the f
10:07 pm
b. i. meanwhile, journalist and wiki, the founder of sanchez, spent more than 2 years and 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 assigns with situation with author, daniel lazar 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 massage is a 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, 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
10:08 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 pers 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 homage adds up 15 percent from last year alone. it has coincided with a huge cut in police budgets, backed by 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
10:09 pm
protection or to kill them up in comments. one of the causes democrats appeared to be most passionate about last year. the fund, the police, many off absolutely suburbs, suburbs have essentially already begun pursuing a d funding of the police in that they 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 made so completely this, not all the minneapolis 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. the splashing cash on their own personal protection. in 25 major us cities, officials have proposed cutting or in 20 cases, already called police budgets. however, what open the books dot com auditors found was that may as and city officials still
10:10 pm
enjoy personal protection of a dedicated police detail, costing taxpayers millions of dollars. let's compare and contrast baltimore's mayor shopped a huge chunk of his. his police force is 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 and even bigger cuts. eric are said, he was one of the 1st to say, i'm going to redirect re 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 can't rely upon the police to provide public safety at the same time,
10:11 pm
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. 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. a when people think of defining the police,
10:12 pm
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, our business owners, are visitors to the cities are the ones who are protected more than the politicians . so it's, it's a slap in the face of 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, 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 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 mares is something they don't want
10:13 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, we're lucky them the 1st place. they're not going to be catching on to this apocryphal. it's just getting bad. it's getting worse and ideology that's strictly among the, the liberal democrats. as you can see me in the cities and it's just bad. it's nothing more than political theatre. as many things arrive there are voting based, rally and brown. the more and some news just in our newsroom, 2 men have been shot just kilometers away from the white house. and the suspect remains at large. the incident happened in washington dc at $815.00 local time with passers by, claiming dozens of shots were fired. the shooting happened just weeks after a fatal incident in the same neighborhood. the 2 injured men are understood to be receiving treatment at the theme. of course, we will keep you updated with information as we get information here into the
10:14 pm
newsroom. switching gears now 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 led to more than 200 deaths, thousands of rests and an estimated to $2000000000.00 in damage. but locals fear the situation could deteriorate further. let's take a look at how recent events have unfolded in the country. ah, how way of diff go for this what it looks like down? yeah. if you carry on further down the road, because burnt out, recalls in the roads, bluetooth everything. actually the burning way out of the burning. ah
10:15 pm
ah, at the moment you purchase this one. the favorite. and this is the only place that now we are getting food from. we just stood out there to protect our families. former president jacobs, who 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 him a son who has been accused of instigating the recent violence and allegation he denies. it's a sense of 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 i'll continue to do so. not being
10:16 pm
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 real. 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 it was done at a time with the beginnings of it, but it happened. 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. and secondly, denying my involvement in the real issue.
10:17 pm
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 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 and con, just be a process that's ignoring 911 victims families are outraged at media claims that the capital right was a blinker day for america saying it's a deliberate dehumanization of their tragedy for political gain. i would like to
10:18 pm
say january 6th as burned into the american mind as firmly as $911.00, 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 law. school. people were like 911 to generate. it does raise a lot of concern for the victim and survivors from the handful of people who suddenly died on the rectum of generally, more than 3000 people that died on one level. that makes no sense. i'm not counting the people, the hundreds of thousands of people that i'm racking up because i'm already into the work because of 911 making sense. the 911 terror attack claimed almost 3000 lives and left many more injured. but while victims relatives believe
10:19 pm
comparing it to other violent incidents, downplays, what happens is some politicians find it appropriate to use the same rhetoric while speaking about the right on capital hill. today we had a national trainer and i've ordered that the full resources, the federal government to help the victims and their families. and, and to conduct a full scale investigation, to hunt down and to try and those folks committed. 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,
10:20 pm
they have full of people that handles. the government 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 plus b, u, b for $911.00 for everything that is houston, change laws, work, stablish, new requirements, the politics of figures. he's a very, very effective they using that block of 911. so create a political agenda one of america's most powerful politicians, house speaker nancy pelosi has been caching in on big tech investments, which she just happens to also be regulating that is the revelation from a new probe. breaking down to the story. here's our team, lead pacheko with commentary. well,
10:21 pm
did you know that the top democrat in the house is also a top notch? talk 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 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 a 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
10:22 pm
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 could be made in the one that has been made is that reduce a space in the securities markets. this entire episode where congress has been
10:23 pm
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, maybe she never uses it when trading, but she's apparently very close with these big tech ceos. in 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.
10:24 pm
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 a chance. london theaters are crying foul after a huge number of performances were cancelled due to coven quarantine roles,
10:25 pm
including those staged at the west end. this is despite england's so called reopening, that was meant to see months of restrictions lifted, reporting from the u. k. his martin enders, 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 for several phase productions this week, both to the m h. s truck and trace scheme over it doesn't shows in the west and across the country. having force to shut off members have tested positive, told to isolate or being seen by the cobra. factoring 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 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
10:26 pm
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, more cost unlimited numbers of other cities means 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 the 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 that if you look at everything that happens every year, a final thousands and thousands of people in contact with you and faith is good. didn't give a 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. it's all the news editor of britain's leading entertainment newspaper says when it comes to their industry, the rules simply don't apply. it's very difficult situation. it's on workable. you
10:27 pm
can see people testing negative stuff that i've been unable to work for 10 days. it's just really produces all very good at finding ways around things, but it's costing money each time and having to reset or cold or hassle is. it's very difficult to have proved to be very patient to be very, very strict, rather than to make sure that it's incorrect. so when you say the crowd scattering will might be very hard to understand what is intriguing, the saying, it's crazy when even monday we say bring it in extreme radiation right online on a fall just should now avoid using the word bird. while horse lovers must no longer talk about fillies, this is the conclusion of
