increasingly seeing read the state question, the teams right to be that american whistleblowers. daniel hale is sentenced to almost 4 years in jail for leaking information on us drug wolf that we heard from others. so it also followed their conscience and shed government secrets when we kill civilians. and then put in the official report that they weren't children, for example, they were to go. that is a war crime. it's really a war on truth. and i just with the government is at war with its own people. ah, hello, live and worldwide. this is archie international. it's sunday. so we're going to take you through some of the biggest stories we've reported on here. over the past 7 days, we've got developments in the past few hours to bring them up to speed on 1st, the crashes have wrapped it in central berlin as co skeptics protests against long
11:02 am
running restrictions to curb the disease. but it's any day since city leaders ban such rallies over the risk of spreading infections. the me, ah, the germany, these many restrictions in recent months, but some are still in place that says mandatory mask wearing on public transport. despite to relatively low number of new daily cove cases to ensure that a number is lighting agenda, the federal institute responsible for disease control says before the way of the panoramic has already begun. let's go live to hamburg now that and bring in german political analyst and be john. tell solely welcome back to
11:03 am
a we've seen some of the pictures that protested say the police response has been heavy handed, but it was getting i had to take it was warranted images for then some of the most. well, the most content track down on positions in germany, the receipt and reading memory. and they certainly are not warranted the entire, both the demonstrator shown and then like ability to read the direction and have not to believe in any way. and so it's not understandable why the government ought to lead the way. how responsible, as it protested to gather in such large numbers like that not wearing marks to many of them as we saw just as germany struggling with a new deadly wave of this disease. well, i cannot, i cannot be
11:04 am
a josh of that. but i can tell you so much that the german government and berlin regional government allowed much demonstrations of economy over a 1000 people last weekend for one of your lots of gay wife, gray to be held in the street, the presentation of the mayor. and of course, the police are not cracked out on that and they were kissing and the 3 is there i, i'm the german. but so the way the program today should have the ability to take there, right? read them off family and see if they are doing the job done. just be big signals, them as the government see the city or federal fail to get the message across when it comes to the importance of social distancing then. well, i mean,
11:05 am
i know the free guy en route and out and they don't believe that they are it to other people. and so they leave. they are taking part in a demonstration that is who keep democracy and working in germany of the election during tax. so really something that we don't leave, you know, there was no no violence to protest this claim. the rules trample over the constitution and that democratic rides as you were just mentioning that. but let's, let's be honest, writing a constitutional democratic rules don't usually take into consideration deadly pandemic. do that. how much of a point do they really have? well, had a trace, not challenging the government not to go forward and even how that that was quite
11:06 am
about the government organized by government coalition pocket to be in the middle of berlin today, only the opposing the government were taking today many were arrested with health policy everything to do with political position of the election. the emperor good to talk to you again. enjoy the rest of your weekend german political analyst, jennifer, solely in hamburg to have you on. thank you. and we will headline news now over an explosion. not a major chemical plant in germany on tuesday killed 5 people with 2 more still missing. police have opened a case of negligent homicide. initial investigation suggests there's no risk to public health from toxins, with more detailed tests expected in the coming days. the site itself is one of the largest chemical parks in europe, employing $30000.00 workers. more than $5000.00 chemicals were manufactured of the
11:07 am
site, including elements for the production of explosives, greenpeace for estates concerned over the plots impact. the situation is very difficult for mechanical point of view. it is really possible to imagine the huge catastrophe we haven't found for the incineration of hazardous waste. that is precisely those substances that, for obvious, reasons, should not enter the environment. they're collected and burned, and it is such a plan that has no suffered explosion. it was these substances which should not be in the environment that reacted with each other, burned up and spread in these clouds of gas use throughout the region. and we know that the inhabitants did not know what they might be exposed to after the explosion on the subsequent fire receive incineration plan just behind me, residents were initially told to remain inside. keep that windows and doors closed . a tentative all clear was given following tests that were carried out by the state and federal environmental protection services. those tests would be looking
11:08 am
at the quality of the the soil as well as looking at re, was set that fallen from cloud. so to feed in contact with the huge plume of smoke, the enemy emanated from the facility just behind me say they've reported so far, no elevated levels of pollution. but authorities have also said that they're pretty sure the toxins were released into the atmosphere following this fire and explosion . now we have seen a lot of messages being given out to people in the local area, warning them not to anything that's being grown in there about gardens in the, the nearby area. also telling people not to allow children to use playgrounds, don't city in garden furniture, or anybody that has a swimming pool in their garden. not to use that either. there's also being warnings about making sure that you take off footwear, outside of your home. if you're in one of the areas with london now, despite these warnings being given out, activists the sold off the, the, well, a number of people still unsure what they should be doing. house uncertainties
11:09 am
to rain. people rode to me asking whether they can go out in the gardens and whether we will take more samples. and this worries me, most of all the people remain the dog. and this is not only the fault of the enterprise. after all, the main problem is that no one knows what substances have reacted and what actually happened. and here the main question arises, isn't of an acceptable to place this as it were told the tags near large settlements. life has pretty much returned to normal in labor cruise, and i'm the surrounding area. we've had condolences being offered to the families of those that died as well as praise for emergency services and rescue as he were on the scene so quickly. but a lot of people looking towards that information we're expecting to hear about long term effects. that could be that this is the most densely populated area of germany . a lot of people living in the near by surrounding not just of labor crews and but
11:10 am
also cities like cologne in the why the area of north run with fall. yeah, that's okay. well mpeg russian athletes displaying and impressive metals hold on saturday that save a team, one gold off the victory of france. so far then it's the 11 skulls, the so called russian olympic committee, or r o c t, which is also now fits 5th in the table. however, you'd be pressed to find many to loosing that success. the russian state and sport officials put the dark cloud over themselves and in the process tragically pushed the athletes out in the storm. now these officials want to continue to lie, deny, and attack those with the courage to stand up to the the seat. and the blatant disregard for the rules and the truth. that's fine because we all know if you cheat, you have no problem lying about your teaching. in response to that statement, the international olympic committee says the very one can think whatever they want . but assured that russia's athletes are the most scrutinized at the moment. i'll teach you know,
11:11 am
neil and ask you to discuss the power of bias and reactions. the success will be lympics, should be a huge celebration and need ask, needs all discipline from all over the world. coming together at one event showcasing the skills. unfortunately, for russian athletes competing out this, he has turkey games that just hasn't been the case. the atmosphere has been so hostile, it's been filled with suspicion, criticism, and very little good sportsmanship, both from the global media and of course from photo competitive. for example, us women, ryan murphy, who love to a russian, took a veiled swipe by saying that he probably, that it probably wasn't a teen race. a comment that he later tracked on. but by that a british swim, i'd also come out and couldn't help. may, could dig about state sponsor, do you pick out the russian who beat them? he said my gold medal is the combination of nothing but life. from dedication. yes . to double the sport, i have always stood for nothing but 3 competition. have always been all my
11:12 am
documents. i've devoted my entire life to the sport and i would never be able to forgive myself if i use some job. so i don't even know how to react to mobile. how well both those comments might not seem direct to the any one particular ascii or country. others very openly was quite frankly, the epitome of soul lose one us row, for example, said that russians shouldn't even be seen the crew who shouldn't even be here. walk away with the silver is a nasty feeling really disappointing overall. and i feel for the, the f as in the, a final now tell me might be furious that she's not taking her out when that she was banking on her belief that russians don't have a right to be the cost of doesn't reflect reality. how much she wants it to. the truth is, russian athletes are allowed to compete, but under certain strict conditions as a result of an ongoing reduced number of historic clean, clean russian athletes are allowed to compete as mutual meaning that they've been stripped of them. the flag out, of course, the countries name hadn't
11:13 am
r a c and not russia. but despite this, despite that commitment to the very rules that the international olympic committee has set up, and despite the fact that they are the most tested, one of the most tested delegations that they are still daily faced with this wave of bitterness and malice. yeah, new and fair comments, direct or otherwise, as you're saying, indirectly the last number of there, including the swimmers. what's the media? how to say? well, unfortunately, the hostility towards the r a c team, it's really tenfold in western media. some of the headlines are actually pretty shocking. many of them fairly can disguise that discuss the russians have been allowed to learn with actually winning metals, beautiful music. and although window dressing such as calling itself the russian limbic committee to suggest an appearance of neutrality cannot mask the stench of corruption and appeasement. the eye sees entire plan completely backfired. it certainly didn't keep the russians. 2 out,
11:14 am
and it certainly didn't shame russia were putting, has used the band to pump up nationalistic pride. and that was us, gymnast simone biles had to pull out the media with disappointment, right. about, well, that's paid the way for the russians, which is exactly of course what happened was they deserved. so one way hoping that the media will kind of take a step back and just objectively report on the ongoing offence on the triumphs and the losses of those lempke as well on fortune. we've been disappointed. i suggest there's a little bit of back story to this as well, right? what if? well, if i didn't, people are why, but this is all the fall out from the uncovering of thought and that you don't pick scheme amongst fresh enough. he's back in 2014 washer, was bound for 4 years, many major international sporting events, and that will delay to reduce to 2 years. now, russian officials did come out, they admitted mistakes had been made in the antidote program, but they also did claim that the band was politically motivated. but the truth is, is that is the past that have been repercussions for that. what's happening now in
11:15 am
tokyo was essentially the demonized ation of hundreds of proven clean athletes who up playing by the rules down to a team who are also getting tested repeatedly in the last number of winter and summer. exactly. they all day on the 3rd, have to team off on us and china. so it's real beautification by those athletes by the media. not have to say really as a credit to those are the needs that despite all of this, that they've managed to block out all that noise and still keep mounting. when his podium dependent journalist rick sterling believes the original message of the lympics he's getting lost. unfortunately, the, the olympics has been politicized very much. you know, it's not new. there's always been a national as component to it. but of course the olympic games charter calls for bringing countries together and in its intention is to, to promote peace. we need to resist the,
11:16 am
the nationalists forces that are trying to politicize and polarize the anti doping situation and the international sport situation. i think it'll be a very good thing when russia is fully reinstated and can participate. we can see the russian flag and the russian national anthem. it's really a shame that the situation is continuing as it is, but hopefully we can get beyond this before too much longer. whistleblower in the us has been sentenced almost 4 years in prison for leaking classified information about america's drug program while serving the bag room base in afghanistan a decade ago. daniel hale help identify targets for assassination. when he returned home in 2013, he shared secret details about the drawing program with journalists from the intercept online news site. repeating the true extent of civilian casualties in the
11:17 am
middle east and africa. in march have pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents, which revealed that 90 percent of strikes have actually had civilians. and the u. s . ram tough extra program during the bomber administration. since then, it's launched more than $14000.00 strikes in nations like afghanistan, pakistan, yemen, and somalia. thousands have been killed along the way with more than 300 children among those victims. we spoke to whistleblower and former us intelligence officer john kerry are given the week who attended. hale sentencing hearing the mood was one of great apprehension and the court room was packed for daniel hale. it was all quite dramatic, but we were apprehensive because we really didn't have any indication of which way the judge was going to go. and then he surprised everyone by clearing the courtroom and sealing it for 2 hours. while the justice department argued in a classified venue for a sentence of 9 years to me, the fair verdict would have been too, too, for the judge to come off the bench,
11:18 am
shake his hand, thank him for his service to the country and let him go home to his family, i didn't think he deserved any prison time at all because he revealed a crime that was being committed by the u. s. government, the crime of, of the murder of innocent civilians. these are war crimes. when, when we know that civilians are within the strike rage, that makes it a crime when we kill civilians and then put in the official report that they weren't children for example, they were go. that is a war crime and it became a matter of course, it became something that many drone operators and their supervisors were doing not ahead of the sentence thing he wrote to the court detailing some of the things that he had witnessed in his work, including the deaths of 2 children in a drone strike. he also slammed the claim of former president brock obama burton drone killings abroad, protected americans. the policy of drone assassination was being used to mislead
11:19 am
the public, that it keeps the safe whenever i encounter an individual who thinks that drove warfare is justified and reliably keeps america safe, i remember that time and ask myself how i could possibly continue to believe that i am a good person and deserving of my life and the right to pursue happiness. me strode circle 24 hours a day and delivering deaths from the skies. i have turned most of the muslim world against us. it's been completely counterproductive and i think hail understood that and he sought to inform the american public. but we can't have a debate. we don't know the truth and we know the truth about drones because of the courage of daniel. and it's not just about going after someone like hail, it's really kind of a death blow to the press itself because it prohibits the press from shining a light on the inner workings of ours. it's really the misuse of the espionage act
11:20 am
which has been continued. another well known whistle by weight and on twitter, edward snowden, condemned the court's decision and praised hale. now we also got reaction from a former us drone operator who's also lifted the lead on what is work involved. brandon bryan says and the choice between ignoring civilian killings and making the public aware his conscience made up his mind. it's really a war on truth nicest whistleblowers. we've got people that have been propagating this war over in the middle east for almost 2 decades. now. the government is at war with its own people. if you can't, you're part of the machine. the car runs this machine, yet you have to bear witness for it. not just an unfeeling part of the machine you're dealing. and eventually you have to find yourself in the middle of that storm and be like, you know this. i have to do. i have to do this because if i don't do it, who is going to, i find it strange that conscientious individuals that are inside the program that
11:21 am
are trying to hold us accountable for the obvious blayton war crimes that we ourselves are doing are being punished and it seems that they're punishing people in order to make them an example. and that really does disturb me, especially if america supposed to be this great country and freedom fighter amongst the world, how we're punishing our own people who are trying to do that. okay, so i had this august, the 1st picture you might find upsetting and more of our top stories of the last 7 days police brutality in america captured on camera. again. the violent arrest of colorado has the officers involved facing charges as all the reports after this. ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality?
11:22 am
in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for? tyson lation, whole community. you're going the right way. where are you being that somewhere which direction? what is true? what is faith me in the world corrupted. you need to this end. ah, to join us in the depths all remained in the shallows. ah ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk
11:23 am
the hello again. another act to police brutality has been caught on camera in the united states to officers in colorado have been charged of the violent arrest of an unarmed mixed race man, please be aware that the next video contains graphic violence. oh, what do i know? what your hands are for you. okay. don't stop it. oh, oh, oh, bleeds offices identified call vincent. there's been wanted for several offences. after 2 other men fled, he appeared to initially comply with the officers commands during the arrest, but then resisted while being handcuffed. he was subsequently choked, forced to face down on the ground, and pistol whipped by an officer than some was then take him to hospital needing
11:24 am
treatment. the officers in question have since been charged with using excessive force and the local police chief condemned their conduct. does not police work? we don't train this, not acceptable. the definition of police brutality is itself is a problem. you are you, you use the force necessary to effect in a rust. you keep yourself safe to keep a citizen safe and you actually keep the person the you're arresting safe. the job of the police officer, the street cop is not the punish. that's the job of the courts. so white of dish, not a punishment for conviction. if so, if a police officer was aware, as was in the case of derrick sheldon, that he was being video camera right. your body cameras recording you and they were this comfortable with their actions. there is a serious epidemic, a serious problem. and then police officers, history needs to be looked into. we need to look at how many other times is that person been accused, or have they taken excessive force beyond the level of what they were lawfully around the allowed the use?
11:25 am
because if somebody's feels this comfortable to get this out of control on video camera guarantee is that the 1st time they've done this as an incident like us, the defined, the police movement is not properly communicated to the public de, from the police movement is a political card, it's what the politicians are using to wind up bolstering your base for more voting . it really just removes programs funding for certain areas, for police officers. most 200 illegal border crossings in one single day. that's what lithuanian is currently facing, with the total number of detained migrants spiking to $3000.00 this summer. and while the small baltic states been diagnosed for bringing and drastic measures to try to stem the flow, all t shall do been scanned. the week found out that the e u has dramatically shifted its position of light. you appear in union se said all supposed to be cool. hotness. however, for some countries being in the gang seems of more benefits done. but others take
11:26 am
the current situation in lithuania, which is going at the moment with an influx of migrant. difficult times call for difficult decisions will drastically change the way you immigration policy. it includes math, the tension of migrants, a bond on the release of those who are in detention for 6 level. they will be new, right to a translator, to obtain information about the asylum process. they will also curb the right to appeal decisions and to allow for deportation while lose appeals are being examined . do whatever it takes to absolutely ensure that only people who are persecuted for political reasons and have a good ground to look for a political shelter stay here. has been created specifically to deal with my goodness, coming over from neighboring batteries, lithuania, and you accuse. minutes could be using them as
11:27 am
a political to as relations continue to sour. critics say the law is a step to fall. the law is a potential human rights violation and it doesn't correspond to you directives, it and tries the current bad situation in lithia and in detention centers in law and lives vulnerable people in and even more vulnerable situation. there we even criticism from lithuania, form a chair of the constitutional court. the proposals which are unconstitutional are based on the premise that all foreigners who cross the border are 2nd class human beings not entitled to constitutional rights conditions in the must detention centers have also been denounced with allegations, the migrants have been stripped to fetch telephones that they can only got signed for one hour a day, pressure that some say has led to people attempting to take that law.
11:28 am
everyone detained in this building is suffering psychologically. i already ran away from iraq, since it's a prison, it is the same here. meanwhile lithuania is embarking on a massive project. the key would be migrant out a plan to cover almost the entirety of its food with batteries, with a breeze wire. so what does you think? let you and use border is an external you border which is currently experiencing an unprecedented influx of migrants and asylum seekers. these people, many of them vulnerable need urgent support, such as food and shelter. the european union and other member states will not leave with you and you're alone in this difficult situation. so very supportive doesn't do it except when another human hungry took a similar action. only use external border with serbia following a wave of migration in 2015. the tone from brussels couldn't be any
11:29 am
more different. we cannot accept the basic values of the european union, a being so seriously breached as one like hungry who built fences against war, refugees, or breaches. press freedom and the independence of the justice system should be temporarily or permanently excluded from the you. last year's top court found hungry, guilty of breaking, assign the rules. it says it mashed up the loose or protecting vulnerable migrant by denying them the right to apply for asylum and by forcibly to putting them. meanwhile, as other states, such as greece, also look to build rules only use external border to keep migrant out brussels having so much as batted and eyelid leading some to feel that in the you know, partnerships are indeed equal. okay, that's it for the wiki for now. up next, the store of the astonishingly low paid workforce that's powering all digital lives
11:30 am
the the silicon valley elite who is out of touch with the rest of the world. this is the key to understanding lucas b walks logic. although it's not the only part is workers are visible by design. you can write code and send your account. never talked to anyone is does. i'm so you can get the work back on a spreadsheet. if you need to, to see these letters and numbers of identifying the worker, you don't see a name. you don't see where they live. you don't see what their situation is. you don't see unless you keep track of it yourself. have they worked for you before?
