longer the case, it would see now, humor is just another political weapon. and you know, it's not very funny. the headlines here will not be in a jail taco who brought the world's media attention to a custody battle between the us postal and the parents of a child being held there against will has access to his lawyers, restricted after right. because the voting conditions at the facility, these being held up, his wife, who claims that an active retribution speaks, talk live in just a moment. tensions of rising and i've gone on for the taliban claims that the fees are provincial capital, the country, the 1st and the 5 years that's off through an attack, killed the head of the government. media department, greece is battling, choose wildfires all across the country. flames have destroyed now as many as 150 heard with on the historic island of

ah, just off the 10 pm here in the russian capital. this is the international, the very wall. welcome to this evening. we do start with special coverage for you tonight. this of the story of martin got spelled. he's currently serving a prison sentence in america for hacking the systems of a hospital. he says he committed the crime to draw attention to a custody battle between the hospital and the parents of a child being kept without that consent. i got failed. i recently turned to us off . he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. ah, i go to sell the wife and the wife, he actually says that communications with his lawyer was cut off shortly after he

wrote an article that was published on our website in the p. c describes cases of miss treatment at the prison. he's being held out of the authorities that don't deny this, saying it was due to changes in that cove. it policy well sales case made headlines all around the world. thanks to what he describes as his quest to say. 15 year old justina policy a life 7 years ago got spelled hacked, the computer servers of boston childrens hospital. his actions exposed a month long custody battle between the hospital and justin, as parents had been disputing her diagnosis by doctors who upgraded a red blood disorder to that of a mental condition and forcibly separated just una from her family. now the hack attack helped draw media attention to the case sparking a debate over parental rights. the girl was eventually reunited with her family after a public outcry, but goddess felled was arrested and is now serving

a 10 year term at a so called community management unit. now these are units were created as part of the war on terror and were done by the media as little one ton of most old communications with the outside world or monitor the unrestricted and typical inmates include terrorists, so those link to piracy and mafia members. now barrett brown, a john list, an activist to campaigned, in support of got spelled and who was himself in prison in connection with a data leak says his situation is far from unique. marty himself, over throughout the entire he was 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. having done for years and feds myself. the ropers in the u. s. for my activism and having written columns from prison, 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 was going to interview the interview and been 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. no one has been involved in activism should be tried in the us, nor course where they just did the record of the u. s. on this is just a mentally vile. we asked a number of our human rights organizations to comment on go to sales, case both of us and well, why? now, joining us here life on the program, it's dana got his hell, the wife of martin got his failed and a very well welcome to you from all the way here at moscow. thanks for joining us on our team. and actually it's good to see you today. have you heard of from your husband lately? can you give us an update on his predicament? oh, thanks. good could be here tomorrow, next week. current situation at the jail that they are overcrowded. they're

forcing too many people into too small space. i think with the. ready intention of using that justification to open more stan use because right now that on the human the u. s. and he says that he could see kind of problems over crowding coming and now arrived. people are active surprised. what about what about access access to the lawyers? has he been able to access his lawyers yet now he has and he has multiple attorneys who are trying to get in touch with him for meetings about strategic matters. he answered an appeal and other legit and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they catherine sir voltage that bureaus prison lawyer is telling them that she can only let him speak to them if they have a coming court deadline. where she's not applying that requirement

to any of the other. it seems that the making up various excuses to stop your husband from getting access to the phone and getting access to as his lawyer. i mean they, they allow to behave this way. now i don't think that are, i think that they use the constitution. it doesn't matter to them what you see in the prison, it government and they won't stop until they're held accountable. it's, it's not the day has a duty or any kind of sense doing what's right. they will push the boundary as far as they can until someone stop to you and your husbands go 10 years now. he's facing 10 years behind bars g, g. do you think that's disproportionate or do you think that's? that's all right. now for, for sure that you know, they, i trial, they said the government wanted to use the, were, were a terrorist in the judge said, no, i did try to nathaniel gordon who have marty said,

you can't use that word. that's not what this was. but after trial, they put him in a unit for terrorists. it makes no sense. you know, even a previous prison prison wrap the prison correctional officers recognize that this is a political case. i think that's why he's in the c. m. u and he's gotten such a large sentence because this is a harvard case, boston children talk little and the teaching affiliate of harvard university medical school. and it's boston. well, i mean, i mean, guard against you. yeah, i mean, as, as, as you were saying he's, he's been, he's been locked up with, with reported terrorists. those who are connected to piracy and, and fast and all. also sorts of other bizarre is bizarre offences. i mean, do you think it's possible that we can still get, can you still get your husbands case reviewed at this point? do you think? so he had a trial few years ago and

n g and they had the appeal and the appeal brought up a lot of the issues with trials such as the judge closing off the court room to reporters and the public doing extensions for time on a secret docket that marty was aware of just all kinds of weird things that happened in june and now were expecting an answer and from 1st circuit court of appeal. and that answer will determine whether his case is dropped and then the government has the opportunity depending on whether it's dropped with or without prejudice, by the judge. to bring the case again. it's not the case right? so long. yeah, yeah, i mean he's, he's facing 10 years now and i mean, he's, why would, why would your husband be put into a high security maximum security prison? i mean, you know, he, he did this hacked, of his move to bring attention to this young girl who lost the use of her legs at

a hospital where allegedly there was abuse going on. i mean, it seems to me that someone might be trying to hide something don't get me started on the us presence of them. you know, there, he's never had any disciplinary measures regarding communications. he's never caught any additional charges. so it really does seem like it's, you know, not because of his conduct while we've been in jail, but it's, he was moved to the c, m. u. with a few years before the trial and grades them. then soon as you see was us. i can get the c, m u as a place at the end merican government uses to hide people, you know they, they, marty only gets to 15 minute call a week and sometimes to access the email. whereas the other,

whereas other people in prison get 300 minutes a week more he's not allowed to speak to attorneys. he's not allowed to send his attorney certain information. all of his communications with his attorneys are read . they read stuff between him and the court. this place is so off the beaten path, which is why i think to you so great for international pressure and holding america responsible because we have so many things like this. this is not in our constitution, this is not okay allowed by law law by congress. and yet this is the status quo, and when you try and fight against like where do you get it? sounds like you say, but it sounds like your husband is being made. an example out of here. as far as you know, how it is mental health, health, health, it's physical, healthy, safe. where is you know, i think the biggest threat is from not other inmates, but from the correctional officers from the staff unit manager, and see that in pardon royer. and he violates the prison rape elimination act

multiple times. and he will look at inmates while they are undressed while they are naked. he went into and on to an occupied shower on a recorded and stuck padded with inside. and there's a lot of things like that. there's also a very large islamic terrorism related population there. there is white supremacist inside even though you, according to jewish christian and also has some muslim from his biological father. but, you know, i talked to him and i'm really happy that he still has the exciting experience. he still is doing what he thinks is right. and he fights, and he work so hard. he'd like is always burning the midnight oil on working. i'm on stuff. so, you know, i personally feel like if he can keep fighting that i can keep, i think, why when i wanted to ask you this,

because ultimately your husband said that he has no regrets for carrying out the cyber attack. so though he did still carry out a violation, even if he disclosed something horrible, i mean, do you believe what he did was justified you know, it's when a child life is on the line when she could die or she could live depending on the next few days the next week, you know, you really acted prioritize life, especially a child life. and so i don't think anybody wanted this. i don't think that this was anybody 1st choice. but when it, you know, when a hospital is keeping parents away and literally going for just like from a figure skater to paralyzed below the head. she, she really was on her way out. i think it wasn't, it was a necessity. when i, how do you, how do you assess your husband's role in releasing this young girl just in

a policy a because the court actually found no wrong doing and what the boston childrens hospital, what actually happened with their actions? so what can you tell me? yeah, isn't that amazing? you know, you have a lawyer, very pollock, who is the longest serving member of the board for the prevention of cruelty to children or something similar. and he said, this place to non mississippi's, for many children, you have a registered nurse who used to work in the unit named mary, but her name is higgins. i believe. i'm sorry. and she said, you know, i worked here and i would consider some of this torture. so you have people on the inside people who represent clients, people who work there who are saying, you know, you got to look into this. what they're saying is that the official mind should not be coat anymore to protect our children. but when you hear the official line from

the government from their own governing bodies, they deny it. and i think that it's part of part for the course. and i was pretty disappointed, justine, it's family had a trial against spots in children's hospital, and i think it was last year and they dismissed the case and they didn't win. and you know, it's kind of it's and take stock your life and everything around you. how can they be doing such bad things? you will not be held accountable if there is not corruption going on. i wanted to ask you that. i mean the judge, in this case, the judge who was sentenced your husband to more than 10 years in prison. he called your husband's actions as contemptible, insidious, and loathsome. why do you think? why do you think he would use those words? oh my god, he was so mad he was so mad. i think. what really set him off? was it, marty? expose his conflicts of interest in the case. judge nathaniel gordon donate to the adoption agency that often partners and has received donations from boston

childrens hospital. it's likely the agency that they would have to get just adopted into another family. remember they took the custody away from the parents made her aware of the state. and then the next step is to get her adopted into another family. under the clinton american american say family fact the government is reimbursed for each child that they get adopted into a new family. so there's a lot of money being, being exchanged, a lot of incentives for the government to separate children from their families and get them adopted. especially kids, the rare diseases because it's very easy to blame the parents and very hard for the parents to justify with their kids have such a terrible disease. for example, they start to see if they were doing munchausen by proxy, but they never did an investigation and then in the finance of giving it back to the parents in navigating investigation or change games,

calling them that they just held up their hands. yeah. well that i wanted to ask you because apparently your husband denied phoning is lawyers from, from the 15th of july a day before the article was, was actually published. so it seems that the timing might be a bit suspicious even perhaps. yeah they, they read all the mail so they had a heads up on what was coming. they shouldn't at legal privilege mails, but i guess, i guess they were aware. well then we, we appreciate you and your husband reaching out to us here at the international way, of course kept giving you this special coverage and national also covering this as well on our website r t dot com and then go to show the wife of mock and gordon, spelled a thank you very much for joining your international. we appreciate your time. thank you very much. thank you. and we are all free monday g on facebook and

twitter. if you'd like done a free monday t dot com as well. that's where i can be. thank you for spending time with us here with our international. thank you. thank you so much. have a good day. you too. well, we will be covering martha garcia, case closely here on our team to national. we'll keep you updated on any further developments in his situation. ah, why to i've gone on now when tell about fight has reportedly made another major gain. seizing control of a regional capital. is that 1st such a victory in 5 years? now according to local media, the city of that on the center of the number of province fell without resistance. so far, the afghan government has not commented on that situation. in the meantime, a residence of another regional capital in tucker, province of fleeing their homes and market street in the city of being closed due to the threat of attack. as an african armed forces are battling taliban fighters in the area, locals describe the situation to us. 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 difficult is the security situation in caca significantly worse than the exchanges are closed, the markets are closed. the taliban have completely surrounded. earlier the head of the government media department was shot dead in kabul. we got the latest from a local journalist. what does that fact shows you that this deadly string of assassinations continues and call the thought of on the fed that they have? they were behind the killings. the attack also comes after the deadly suicide car bombing outside of the home. off i want to start 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 packed with 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 in western vine. and 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 civilian 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 high degrees now where a huge battle continues against wildfires that have ravaged forests from just

outside athens all the way to the birthplace of the limpid games. ah, one of the main hotspots is the island of every fire of destroyed as many as $150.00 houses and 4th, massive occupations, olive groves, livestock and power lines have been lost or the flame which are considered to be the worst wildfires in years. in greece, i, his report, my 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 of athens authorities believes to be making some progress in the early hours of wednesday until a shift in winds re ignited, the fire and scots are in different directions. we are standing next to the village of skip a steep 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 since they were re directed to another fire from like that of ancient olympia, the house of the olympic claim. according to authorities, the lack of winds has held by the extreme temperatures 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. an animal, the army has been added to the effort 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. a congresswoman cory bushes facing accusations of hypocrisy. after her personal god, expenses came to light. she recently made an impassioned call for the police to be defended. if i spend $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 to put that money into social safety nets. because we're trying to save lives the most talented, 28 seconds you'll ever watch. curry bush will be fine with her private security, but everyday americans should suck it up because defending the police has to happen . i think corey bush and anyone else in public life who faces legitimate threats, deserves what ever security they need. that's why it's so bizarre to hear seconds after demanding. it's demanding the funding of the police for ordinary citizens who want the police. they're also public filing show the court bush or spend some

$70000.00 of government funds in the past 3 months on personal protection services . during a c, b as interview. she said that she had received death threats while i made a call to defend the police murder rates across the us have actually been on the rise latest data suggesting that in major cities, it's worse now than it was before cove. it and new york city launched a safe summer program to try and cope the trend, but in fact, the number of shooting victims as risen markedly that we discussed the issue with journalist lauren chet. 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 not have that seem ability to afford that extra protection. so that is what is so hypocritical about this case. 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 so many americans who are behind on their right, but the idea that you can just start and stop the u. s. economy with will rent payments and expect no consequences to that. well, it's almost as laughable as trying to defend the police. the us vice president come on, harris will visit vietnam and singapore, later this month. under the slogan, america is back. it has that questions over whether the message she's bringing is entirely appropriate or even exactly what the locals want to hear. his answer to may trip out 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 due to the bombs on villages. do you think if 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 within 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,

i use the me that's all despite the assurances by washington and annoy me 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 committed 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 with ocean people and the cambodian people, i mean, we committed 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 attack, she was specifically appointed to handle yet it took her months. stephen, visit the scene, joe biden calmly. 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 dug. there's a southern border visit and still nothing has changed. fending in the least popular person, the us administration has to such a painful spot as vietnam is kind of sending mixed messages to those hoops. 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 know, one of the things you have to remember that lot of people say that the united states, as the mot, christie, 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 destroy their democracy. so we can, so we can ex, light them. that's what we do. i,

that's the program for this half hour here. like for moscow and archie international, thank you for sharing your time with us here in the russian capital. we're back soon with the so long ago humour was the domain of social critique and a means for us to laugh at ourselves. and the comic was the person who had the godson skill to say what all of us might have been thinking. this is no longer the case. they would see now humour is just another political weapon. and you know, it's not very funny. welcome to match hazards. financial survival guide, looking forward to your message. this is what happened dimensions in britain. it was kaiser report

the welcome to sophie collision or is me sophie shepherd. we are hardly been done with a cold 19 condemning, but scientists, a warning that something far worse is around the corner. to talk about this, i'm joined by professor peters calling. you actually did this position, and clinically microbiologist and a world harris organization expert on antibiotic resistance. professor peter calling you an infectious diseases physician and clinico microbiologist experts to the world health organization on antibiotic resistance. great to have you on our show today. welcome i do by having the right to tell us what is in grief happening with antibiotics. are they not working on.
