[000:00:00;00] the ah, an actual retaliation. that's how the wife of my he got fail to describe new to the imprison us. cyber activist has been denied access to his lawyer. she says it's because he's tried to expose mistreatment inside the prison. there's a woman there. prison attorney who's blocking called the time it worked out with when the last article read at r t, exposing what she's doing there and what's going on tensions. right. and i've got this done where the taliban claims that sees the provincial capital in the country . it's the 1st and 5 years about after an attacked by the militant leaves, the head of the afghan government media department,

dead. grief is battling rapidly. wildfires all across the country, a flame destroying as many as a 150 homes on the island of every numerous villagers evacuated. ah, welcome to the program here on the international, the new teams being rounding up your top stories for this hour. i'm going to show you in moscow just off the apn and imprisoned american activist who's serving time for hacking claims. he's been denied telephone calls to his lawyer. shortly after an article he wrote was published on our t's website in the piece or mighty gods, fell described cases of mistreatment and stories of a state approved execution taking place in the penitentiary way. he is currently serving his sentence. the prison claims restrictions were placed on phone calls to

inmates due to changes in cove at policy for the act of his wife is sure that his article is the real reason. there is a woman there. bureau of prisons, attorney named catherine fear valve, whose blocking calls she's asking for an immediate court deadline to allow an attorney call. but meanwhile, other prisoners you have no such deadlines are having calls. and i think that it also the timing works outweighs when the last article ran at r t, about exposing what she's doing there, what's going on in the prison? i think it's an act of retaliation cuz it's only against marty and not against other people. and she's also doing other things like opening his legal male outside of his presence. she's delaying his legal male and sometimes the male disappears altogether enough for me to be attorney finance. kristen backdrop here. my god,

spelled as a former computer security expert. he was found guilty of a cyber attacks and sentenced to 10 years in prison, taken down the network of health care facilities back in 2014 got spelled claims, he was motivated to expose abuse and medical kidnapping in boston childrens hospital. however, the prosecution are cute. the hack put the lives of children at risk. now his actions exposed to a months long custody battle between the parents. so 15 year old just in paulette and the hospital. the teenager was initially diagnosed with a red blood disorder. however, boston childrens hospital, later upgraded to a mental condition. justina was forcibly separated from her parents who were accused of medical child abuse, a parents claim misdiagnosis, and a subsequent lack of proper medical care resulted in that daughter losing the use of her legs. and the girl was eventually reunited with her family after a public outcry. but marty gods failed was arrested and prosecuted for the heck. his wife dana says, drawing attention to the case of justina was

a matter of life and death. i think it was honestly a matter of life and death for jessina. she had already been there for almost a year and her parents linked to the media and said, were afraid, our daughter is going to die. they just asked for help from anybody. i don't think that we would have gotten involved my you would have gotten involved the way he did if it wasn't a life and death matter. and justine had already become parallel. they'd already cause just seen it's become paralyzed below the hips. and her parents weren't really allowed to be involved in medical decisions. you know, i don't think anybody wanted to go to the length that i got to buy, you know, she, the live, she's back with her family. she's trying to recuperate and recover from you know, a years torture. i. i don't think anybody regrets that i think that as we heard

it, marty sent him saying his biggest regret is that he didn't act sooner. we have a contact with the us department of justice for comment. now in the meantime, we did speak to byron brown or a journalist and activist who was himself in prison in connection with a data leak. he actually campaigned in support. martin got failed and says his, his is not an isolated case. nothing done for years and feds, myself of the prison. the us for my activism and having written, call them from prison. i can tell this kind of behavior bob. bureau of prisons is very common to the extent that one is engaging activism or, or simply pursuing one's own civil rights in the prison system. marty himself, over throughout the entire imprisonment has been retaliated against 4 other articles. he's written or lawsuits. he has filed against the system against individual wardens and so forth. he was shipped to a communication unit about 2 years ago in one of his actual evaluation. this is

where the new federal units were for and you are not allowed to communicate with anyone a day to day. right. and so this, this is not an unusual development in so much is going to do process violation. this is very common, b, o, p, no one has been involved in activism should be tried in the u. s. nor course where they're just the record of the u. s. saw it on this is just a mentally vile. i've been in prisons where there wasn't a lot over. i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone, what she's doing, interview the interview and put in the shoe for doing that interview and then release after investigation. you know, 2 weeks later i was re arrested because these orders in 2017 for getting interview advice after i got out of prison the us because it has sort of past reputation as a stalwart of human rights. you know, whether or not it was even deserved then,

is able to get away with a lot that even in other, other you know, in part control democracies. you would not see very often if at all, the u. s. is not germany, us, not france, spain, all those places have problems with us has very particular many problems that center on retaliation against those who, who challenged power struck canister. now where taliban fighters have reportedly made another major gain, seizing control of a regional capital, it's the 1st such victory we understand. in 5 years, according to local media, the city of zion, the center of nym routes, province fell without resistance. so far, the afghan government has not commented on the situation. meanwhile, residents of another regional capital in tucker, the province of fleeing their homes and market streets in the city had been closed due to the threat of attack as african armed forces of battling taliban fighters in

the area. we spoke to some of the locals that i left my home and came to to car. i don't know where we ought to go, where to live, why we are suffering such difficulties. much of the security situation and car significantly worse and exchanges are closed. the markets are closed. the taliban have completely surrounded. earlier the head of the afghan government media department was shot dead in campbell, not far from the russian embassy. the security of the building has since been increased. we got the latest from a local journalist. what this actually was you that this deadly string of assassinations continues and cobbled a thought on the fed that they how they were behind the killings. the attack also comes after the deadly suicide car bombing outside of the home, off of on the side of defense minister, as well as part of our member of parliament from babylon province. there is

a climate of fear in cobble because of the attack that took place, as well as these constant assassinations. you have major attacks inside major provincial capital, a cities pack but civilians. the latest is in the city of chevron on the capital of jose. john, province, the home of marshal those them. this morning the taliban reached the security belt in the city and they got inside several government buildings, setting fire to homes. we've also seen very intense and heavy fighting in the city of herat and with an honest on some people have also been fleeing from the province of numerals, which is just on the iranian border. so as we see urban warfare as we see the deadly attacks. why practically, for the one civilians, casualties and fatalities are going up. and people are forced to basically flee and leave their homes where they can. but in most cases, quite frankly,

people just don't have the option of just leaving. for example, our here in the russian capital to greece. now we're a huge battle continues against wildfires that have ravaged forests from just outside athens all the way that to that over the birthplace of the olympic games. the one of the main hotspots is the island of area where the fires of destroyed as many as 150 homes and force. many evacuations, olive groves, livestock and power lines have been lost to the flames were shock considered to be the worst wildfires in greece. and many years. i heard a report from

a local journalist, firefighters aircraft, municipal crews and volunteers have been trying to contain the blaze that started on tuesday in forest land near the seaside village of living out of yes, in the i don't know, very ne, authorities believe to be making some progress in the early hours, wednesday, the village of skip i see where inhabitants are scared or because they're in different directions and we are standing next to the village of skip us. the way inhabitants are scared for their properties. sends a fire right behind us is a few meters away from their houses. the situation has become worse since airplanes and helicopters have not been flying in the area. seems the way we directed to another fire from like that of ancient olympia. the house of the only declaim, according to authorities, the lack of winds has held by the extreme temperatures up painting 45 degrees centigrade have worse than the situation altogether. most of the villages of the area have been evacuated. however,

people do stay behind to protect their houses and the army has been added to the efforts of patrolling and management of the extinguishing the forest fires. which shows how dramatic the situation is in greece. isaac no move for r t in the island, greece u. s. congresswoman acore bushes facing accusations of hypocrisy. after her personal god, expenses came to light. she recently made an impression cold for the police to be defended. if i've been $1010.00, and more dollars on it, you know what i get to be here to do the work. so suck it up in the fun in the police has to happen. we need to defend the police, put that money into social safety nets because we're trying to save lives. well, public filing show the corey bushes fund around $70000.00 of government funds in the past 3 months on personal protection services. during the cbs interview,

she said she had received death threats. well, let me to call to defend the police motor rates across the us have actually been on the rise, the latest data suggesting that in major cities, it's worse now than before. the pandemic. new york city launched a safe summer program to try and cope with the trend, but in fact, the number of shooting victims has risen markedly since then. let's find out a little bit more about this now across life, much less to lauren chain. joining us here on our secret to see you today, the woman miss bush is accused of hypocrisy. given the high profile nature of our job. is there a case though to be made in her defense? do you think? personally, i think no one was so frustrating about representative bush's stance, that she does not seem to understand why people are calling her hypocritical. i don't think people disagree that if you are a high profile figure, you might need additional security or to show. so shocking here is that miss push is simultaneously saying that she needs arms, security guards, nor to take her safety. but she is denying that same right to safety to law enforcement,

to so many people across the country who are depended on just your local police force because they are not able to invest in private security like representative push it. or i, but she's been making these calls at the, from the police, but apparently she has been getting death threats though. and i guess, you know, you've got to react if indeed she's receiving death threats. right. well, absolutely. she is entitled to extra security if she feels that that is necessary. but the problem is that there are people in so many cities across united states. i'm talking about chicago, detroit, new york, increasingly, who are in dangerous positions and dangerous neighborhoods who are in danger. situation and who not have that seem ability to afford that extra protection. so that is what is so hypocritical about this case. no one is saying that cory, but should not be able to pay for private security. but it's the fact that she is denying this security right to the people of, of the united states who are dependent on local police forces who aren't able to shell out for extra security. and might i add that this policy also extends to the

democrats attack on 2nd amendment rights, where a lot of people, rural people, especially it's not just that they need to rely on local police forces. they may be in a position where a police officer is at most 20 minutes away, heck, even 30 minutes away. and it's in situations like that where people do need their 2nd amendment rights to protect themselves because they can afford on body guards to all of them. everywhere, like representative bush or lower and, but perhaps a korea is a humanitarian or a philanthropist. you know, she what she wants to find the police and then redirect money into a social welfare program. so me, that's the great idea, isn't it? she perhaps going, i'm not want to pay it on social programs and i think there's a valid discussion to be had about the need for more rehabilitation services in the criminal justice system. however, when corey bush herself received some of the death threat, i don't think she would have been very happy recovery status instead of an armed guard. we sent her a social worker in order to maybe try to start a dialogue, people who are threatening her life, and that's what badly a lot of people,

that's the position that they are in. their stores are being run, they're being shot at held at gunpoint. they don't need a social worker, they actually need real life enforced by police officers. well, so she's made course to have the police to fund it. then she says, she's been getting death threats, then she spend $70000.00 of us taxpayer money on personal security guards. i mean, i just, i just wanted to ask me basically, she's a politician. do you think she's full of harder? i unfortunately do you. she's either full of plot air or sadly, you know, not, not possessing the social skills required to understand why people are that. and i'm not going to make judgements as to which it is. but we should also remember that this is a person who has been campaigning to make housing a human right and to cancel rent. again, i'm not trying to dismiss the plight of sony americans who are behind on their rent, but the idea that you can just start and stop the u. s. economy with rent payments and expect no consequences to that. well, it's almost as laughable as trying to be fun. the police journalist a lauren chain,

joining us here when it's a national, thanks a lot. we appreciate it. thank you. well, america, it's back that semester. the u. s. vice president is taking all the roads to vietnam, but all those, the words, the locals want to hear a story and more back in just a moment. the kaiser's financials to live with no money. there's a girl. i want to be support on the problem. i know they stopped ah, with

me ah ah, i use the, the me ah, good i'll be with us for this program. the world health organization, once wealthy nations, to temporarily full go, giving out coven vaccine booster shots, so that poor

a nation's can get those supplies instead of the initiative has a strong opposition with us, which says it's already provided enough medical help throughout the countries during the pandemic, we need an urgent reversal from the majority of vaccines going to high income countries to the majority. going to low income countries, w h h calling for a moment more i told him on boosters until at least the end of september. we feel that it's a false choice, and that we can hit an important milestone of over a 110000000 vaccines donated to the world. we also in this country have enough supply to ensure that every american has access to a vaccine. data suggests nearly a 3rd of the world's population has received at least one dose of a cobra vaccine. with a majority of those in collected living and higher income countries. but although around 42000000 doses are administered around the globe every day,

only one percent of people in poorer nations have received a shot early. my colleague saskia taylor gut reaction from gusts. isn't it almost natural that countries will always provide for their own before helping others? yes it is, but i think was particularly on that turn as they are also protecting the monopolies of the big pharmaceutical phone. so it makes sense. they want to vaccinate their own people, but to forcibly limit the supply to only allow 5 maternity produce the successful vaccine. we need to flock the world as with safe and effective vaccines for everyone. for the primary thing we need to do is break these monopolies and allow every successful vaccine manufacturer in the world in south africa and india, and left in america to mass produce. these factions, instead of waiting for the charity rich nations, while they protect their pharmaceutical john, 1st priority is to protect your own population,

but not at the expense of other people. we know you've heard a lot through the pandemic about the fact that none of it's a safe until all of us can deliver vaccines to the rest of the world. globally. we're going to need more different types of bag thing. i'm going to need more local manufacturing capacity, and that's indeed what the, what the rich countries should be supporting. the reason we have these mutations, the reason we have the delta baron is because we're filing to vaccinate the majority of the world, new people that benefit from page to show the pharmaceutical industry who get to continue to sell year in year out for huge amounts of money phase to, to the rich world, and i have no interest in vaccinating india, africa, low cost. so that's why the government have to intervene. i have to force these companies to open up their recipes, open up their titans. these are publicly funded vaccines. remember immunity? does wayne,

and we need to have vaccines that are covering the potential variance that might be vaccine resistant, but as mac, so what he says, you know, one of the issues here is the, if we don't vaccinate the rest of the world, then we all going to have to have the vaccines and so it's a cyclical thing. what's important, hey, you know, is that we dive si, fi the, a number of vaccines that are available. there are already a number of different vaccines approved across the world. and we should be focusing on improving the manufacture distribution of those vaccines. we've created, knowing new vaccine, billionaires in the last 6 months, the shareholders of pfizer are making more money than they can ever dream of. meanwhile, we're favoring facts that in the people that, that isn't pulling pulling failure on the part of rich countries and for the signing on the part pharmacy companies. or some other headlines in brief, for, you know, a wildfire that's been raging for 3 weeks as decimated

a tiny california mountain community leveling most of its historic downtown area and raising blocked at home. if i tend to drive agitation and find by strong winds, the dixie fire, as it's very name talk through greenville buildings. i think the gold rush area were completely destroyed along with a school at the gas station, church hotel and a museum. a residents have been told to leave the area along with those and another tiny mountain community that a taylorsville multiplies are also continued to prove a problem in southern turkey. they've now spread to the gulf, took cato, where herds of wild horses, famous, the rome, people are demanding immediate health from authorities to protect the animals and also safeguard remote villages. the locals have been forced to run their own rescue and fighting operations, while thousands have been forced to flee. and hundreds of protesters are taken to the streets of melbourne as australia as a 2nd largest city, and it is 6 locked down off. the new covered cases were reported. the statewide

lockdown in victoria will last for 7 days with people only allowed to leave their homes for a handful of reasons, including exercising groceries and getting injected the u. s. vice president, kamala harris, will visit vietnam and singapore later this month. under the slogan, america is back. it has led to some questions over whether the message she's bringing is entirely appropriate given the events and long lasting effects of the previous century is onto to major park. america is back in vietnam, not exactly the bus wording to use, considering its appalling legacy of carpet bombing the country in the sixties and seventies. but vice president, kamala harris's 1st ever planned visit to vietnam, is claimed to have a noble aim. keep in mind the biden harris's administration, main message to the world is not supposed to make you cringe. but really though, can you help it?

at least that was the reaction on line vietnam. the nation we destroyed and who is still dealing with the aftermath of our last visit there. kamala is an imperialist, saying, americans back in vietnam, can juris images of b, 50 twos, dropping d to t bombs on villages. do you think your camera was off? how many vietnamese civilian and soldier deaths america was responsible for over a 25 year period. that her guess would be even with an a 1000000 of the actual number. i mean, seriously, america is back that the wording the u. s. went with when visiting a country, it ravaged with a hideously toxic agent orange in the decades long conflict. it's been almost 60 years since the chemical was widely deployed and the vietnamese are still dealing

with the aftermath. me the that's all despite the assurances by washington and annoy, of their cooperation to clear up the heretic effects, it is necessary to continue to mobilize resources to accelerate the progress of dioxin decontamination and be an apple area. seek more appropriate methods to provide medical care and employment for the victims of agent, orange, dioxin in viet nam vietnam has certainly not forgotten. countless people are to this day living with the consequences of the atrocities us admitted during his campaign. what the united states government did to vietnam over 50 years ago. we all know what the united states government did in that country. you know,

it was that more was horrifyingly, brutal against the vietnamese people. united states was responsible for committing atrocities every single day during that war. not only did the enemies people, ocean people and the cambodian people, i mean, we met a mass murderer in those 3 countries on a daily basis. and really sending kamala harris. that's just adding insult to injury so far. her track record hasn't been all that great. so i would say it's been disastrous. her most spectacular failure so far. being the us father and border crisis a task she was specifically appointed to handle. yet it took her month stephen, visit the scene, joe biden, comma harris, screwed this up. and let's not make the pandemic worse by making this crisis at the border, even worse than it already. and it's been a month since fighting borders are. kamala harris hopped off of her jet for 90 minutes for a photo shoot near the border, which she dubbed as

a southern border visit. and still nothing has changed, sending in the least popular person, the us administration has to such a painful spot as vietnam. it's kind of sending mixed messages to those who still suffer. but either way, watch out america is back. or, you know, i'm not sure the intricacies of what probably harris is supposed to accomplish there. but you, one of the things you have to remember that other people say that the united states as the mot, christy, you cannot absolutely cannot be a democracy and a global empire at the same time. because the united states goes in to 3rd world countries. and we destroyed their democracy so we can so we can exploit them. that's what we do. more analysis and discussion on that topic, author dot com right now for the meantime,

your friday evening stories lie from moscow. return at the top of the hour. the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck, rather than fear i would take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, we have so many with demon a robot must protect its own existence with exist so long ago humor was the domain of social critique and

a means for us to laugh at ourselves, and the comic was a person who had the guts and skill to say what all of us might have been thinking . this is no longer the case. it would see now humour is just another political weapon. and you know, it's not very funny actually, who was just kind middle, it's not lucia for europe sandwich tonight. checks out the the, you know, mean we just would you sure. i think a bus else knew not which kind of 3 another bunch of 3 cross emotions much
