here to do the work. so suck it up in the fun in the police has to happen. we need to defend the police. us congresswoman corey bush is accused of hypocrisy, as it's revealed her security detail called tax payers some $70000.00. she's been calling to defend the police as murder rates across the country. so ah, bring you the news from around the world. this is our international. my name's donald quarter. welcome to the program. now we begin with special coverage of the story of martin god has felt. he's currently serving a prison sentence in the us for hacking the systems of a hospital. he says he committed that crime to draw attention to a custody battle between the hospital and the parents of a child being kept there without their consent. gods failed recently turned to us

after he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. here's my colleague, rory sushi with all the details. ah, go to sales, why if it says communication with his lawyer was cut off shortly after he wrote an article that was published on t's website in the piece describes cases of mistreatment at the prison. he's being held in the authorities that don't deny this . they say it was due to changes in the coven policy. the goddess felt wife isn't satisfied without explanation. they read all of his mail. so they had a heads up on what was coming. they shouldn't, it's legal privilege mail, but i guess i guess they were aware he has multiple attorneys who are trying to get in touch with him for meetings about strategic matters. he answered an appeal and other ledger and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're

telling him that they can't francere voltage that bureaus. prison lawyer is telling them that she can only let him speak to them if they have upcoming court deadlines. whereas she's not applying that requirement to any of the other. it may go to phillips case, made headlines of the world over thanks to what he describes as his quest to save life or 15 year old justina policy a 7 years ago. go to spelled hack the computer servers of boston. childrens hospital is actions exposed a month, long custody battle between the hospital and justin. his parents had been disputing her diagnosis by the doctors who upgraded a red blood disorder to that of a mental condition, and then forcibly separated justina from her family. back to help to draw media attention to the case sparking a debate of a parental rights. the girl was eventually reunited with a family, also

a public outcry, but called us failed was arrested right now. so having a tenured, so i'm at a so called up community management unit. well, these units were created as part of the war on terror and are actually done by the media as little one ton of most, all communications with the outside world are monitored and restricted, and typical inmates include terrorists, so those linked to piracy and even mafia members to we discuss the conditions in which martin has failed is being held. we did this with his wife and with byron brown, a journalist and activates to campaigned and supportive gulf has failed and who was himself imprisoned in connection with out of a data leak. marty himself, over throughout the entire imprisonment has been rejected against 4 other particles. he's written lawsuits. he has filed against a system against the visual wardens and so forth. having done for years and feds myself, the prison, the u. s. for my activism and having written,

calling from prison, i've been in prison where there wasn't a lot. i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone. what was your doing interview media interview and been putting to shoot for doing that interview and then release after investigation. you know, 2 weeks later i was re arrested the orders in 2017 for getting interviewed advice after i got out of prison. no one has been involved in activism should be tried in the us, nor gosh, where there is it just did that. the record of the us saw it on this is just a mentally vile i trial. they said the government wanted to use the were, were a terrorist in the judge said, no, we try to nathaniel gordon who hates marty. said he 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 even the previous prison correctional officers recognize that this is

a political case. i think that's why he's in the c. m. u. the judge who 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? i think that's 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. and likely the agency that they would have used to get just adopted into another family. remember they took the custody away from just, parents made her aware of the state. and then the next step is to get her adopted into another family. we are both the judge and the adults incentive to comment on the allocations. we'll let you know what they have to say. in the meantime, we also offer a leading human rights organization. you can see right here from america and all around the world to comment on god as feld's case of the european court of human

rights told us they cannot comment on the issue as there was no application to it. well, for now, here on our teams in national that wraps up our special coverage for you. we will bring you more developments on the story as they happen, both honor and online. ah, we now go to afghanistan, where taliban fighters have reportedly made another major advance. they've seized control of a regional capital, which has not happened for the past 5 years. according to local media, the city of serrano at the center of the numerous province fell without resistance . so far, the afghan government hasn't commented on the situation. meanwhile, residence of another regional capital in talk, our province are fleeing their homes. market streets in the city have been closed due to the threat of an attack. as afghan armed forces are battling taliban fighters in the areas,

locals described to us the situation. 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. the security situation in caca significantly worse than the exchanges are closed. the markets are closed. taliban have completely surrounded earlier the head of africa, of the afghan government media department was shot dead in couple. and we got the latest from local journalists there. what does that fact shows you that this deadly string of assassinations continues in cobble? the thought of on a fed that they have, they were behind the killings. the attack also comes after the deadly suicide car bombing outside of the home, off of on his defense minister as well as a 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 of major attacks inside major provincial capital,

a cities packed with civilians. the latest is in the city of chevron on the capital of joseph 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 have also seen very intense and heavy fighting and 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 attack, 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 us congresswoman corey bush is facing accusations of hypocrisy. after her personal guard expenses came to light.

it came after her recent impassioned call 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. and the fun in the police has to happen. we need to defend the police. they put that money into social safety nets. because we're trying to save lives the most talented, 28 seconds you'll ever watch. career bush will be fine with her private security, but everyday americans should suck it up because the funding that police has to happen. i think corey bush and anyone else in public life who faces legitimate threats, deserves whatever 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 that corey bush has spent some $70000.00 of government funds in the past 3 months on personal protection services. during

a c b s interview. she said that she'd received death threats. i met her calls to do fun, the police murder rates across the us are actually on the rise with the latest status suggesting that in major cities it's worse now than before cove. it new york city launched a safe summer program to try and curve the trend, but in fact, the number of shooting victims has risen markedly there. we discussed the issue with journalists, lauren chen. 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 dangerous situation and who do not have that seem ability to, or 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 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 laughable as trying to be fun. the police american intelligence services reportedly got their hands on the genetic research database of the chinese verola gee institute, and woo hon with cnn. suggesting a hack may have been involved. the revelation comes and made global efforts to establish coven 19th origin earlier the world health organization and the u. s. slammed china for supposedly withholding access to that data. but a special mission concluded that it was unlikely that the virus was artificially created. former us president donald trump frequently used inflammatory rhetoric, branding in the china virus. while in may us president joe biden ordered us intelligence agencies to accelerate their probe into the origins of the virus and to report back in 90 days. we spoke with former us intelligence officer, scott ritter,

who thinks it's an attempt to deflect attention away from problems closer to home. i think there is a tendency to find a convenient cas blame on china when by an ordered this intelligence review. it was, it was after turn leaks to the press about intelligence information that were cherry picked by mike pump state department as part of heard of a go a gotcha paper. they were preparing to target, trying to your there's a need to seek some sort of deflection away from your failures in the u. s. policy. so they're, they're looking for a culprit. china is the logical corporate. now it's time for some world updates a wildfire that's been raging for 3 weeks, has now decimated a tiny california mountain community. leveling most of its historic downtown area and raising blocks of homes. aided by tinder dr education and fanned by strong

winds. the dixie fire, as it's being named tor, through greenville, now building, stating back from the gold rush arrow were completely destroyed along with a school gas station. church, ho tell and museum residents have been told to leave the area along with those in another tiny mountain community. called taylorsville wildfires are also continuing to prove a problem in southern turkey. they've now spread to the gold joke, plateau where herds of wild horses famously, rome people are demanding immediate help from the authorities to protect the animals and safeguard remote villages in the mountain valleys. locals have been forced to run their own rescue and fire fighting operations, while thousands have been forced to flee that area. hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets of melbourne, australia as the countries 2nd largest city, entered its sic pandemic, walked down following new reports of covert cases. the statewide locked down in

victoria will last for 7 days with people only allowed to leave their homes for a handful of reasons, including exercise, grocery shopping and getting back from america back. that's the message the us vice president is taking on the road to vietnam. what are those the words locals there want to hear that story and more after the short break, 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 guts and skill to say what all of us might have been thinking. this is no longer the case. it would see now, humor is just another political weapon. and you know, it's not very funny. this

is your media reflection of reality. the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. tyson lation community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? the direct? what is true? what is in a world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah, welcome back to the program. now the world health organization wants wealthy nations to temporarily forego giving out coven vaccine booster shots,

so that poor nations can get those supplies. instead, the initiative has faced strong opposition from the u. s, which says it's already provided enough medical help to other 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 chase, calling for a moment moratorium on boosters until at least the end of september. they feel that it's a false choice and that we can resolve the hit, an important milestone of over 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 that nearly a 3rd of the world's population has received at least one dose of a coven vaccine, with the majority of those inoculated living in higher income countries. but despite around 42000000 doses being administered around the globe every day,

one percent of people in poor nations have received a shot earlier. my colleague, soft gear, taylor got the reaction from our guests. isn't it? no, it's not sure that countries will always provide for their own before helping others . yes it is, but i think was particularly true as they are also protecting the monopolies of big pharmaceutical phones. 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 manufacture in the world in south africa and india, and left in america to mass produce these facts. and 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 faxing, and we're 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 baron is because we're filing to vaccinate and majority of the world. now you 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 back to india, africa, low cost. so that's why government have to be, have to force these companies to open up their recipes, open up their titans. these are publicly funded vaccines. remember the immunity does wayne,

and we need to have vaccines the all 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 here, you know, is that we dive sci fi, the 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 and 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, were fading back from a city and the people that, that isn't pulling pulling failure on the part bridge country, the pulling, signing on, the pharmacy, come to us, vice president, kamala harris will visit vietnam and singapore, later this month. under the slogan,

america is back. it's lead to questions over whether the message is something people in that part of the world really want to hear. as ortiz, dmitri pollock, explains. america is back in vietnam. not exactly the best 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 plan 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 d t bombs on villages? do you think if camera was off?

how many vietnamese civilian and soldier dest america was responsible for over 25 year period. that her guess would be even within a 1000000 of the actual numbers. 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 annoying 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 unemployment for victims of agent, orange, dioxin, in vietnam. vietnam has certain weight not forgotten. countless people are to this day living with the consequences of the atrocity of 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 war was horrifyingly, brutal against the vietnamese people. united states was responsible for committing atrocities every single day during that war. not only did the people but the 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 u. s. 1000 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 he dug. there's a southern border visit and still nothing has changed, sending in the least popular person, the u. s. administration has to such a painful spot as vietnam is 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 know, one of the things you have to remember that lot of people say that the united states is a lot for city. 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. or if you'd like more details on any of those top new stories you just saw, you can always check out our website, r t dot com or follow us on your favorite social media platform. we'll be back with more news in just about 30 minutes. so stay tuned the

keep him in. but no, no, i mean, i mean, i saw it and the one on my in my name is join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guests in the world. the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then, in the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interest. while you see in this, these techniques is the state devising message to end to essentially destroy personality of an individual lifetime. means this is how one doctors, theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed

a danger to the state. and that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation, psychological torture, disseminated within the us intelligence community, and worldwide among allies for the next 30 years. been to the victim, say they still with the consequences. today the i mentioned that you know, more than a month up in the last artic, and when i got back, i had just totally reframed how great we now have it in modern life. so before i go up there, it's like i use hot running water every day. never thought about how great that is to drive the car, but they never saw great. that was don't have to go out and walk 5 miles down hill the stream and bring it back up to get my water right. but after alaska, like i had to do all those things. and so when i get back into my water, my modern world and i turn on the faucet and hot running water comes out and hits my hand was like, oh my god,

this is unbelievable. this is the most amazing thing that i've ever that happen to me, my life. ah ah, ah ah, ah. hello, welcome, the cross od we're all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle, not 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 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. the cross, i can humorless humour. i'm joined by my guest at ro in new york. he is this indicated political cartoonists and writer, as well as the author of the stringer in los angeles. we have wrongful cone. he is a comedian host of the youtube, sho, get your news on withdrawn. and in honolulu we go to graham elwood. he is a regular the jimmy door show, as well as host of the political vigilante podcasts on youtube. right? gentlemen, cross so close in effect, that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate, graham, i'm going to go to you 1st because as you're speaking it is 4 o 3 am in the morning. ok. that is that that's, that is a real heroic effort. we all appreciate it. graham, i have this observation. i want you to confirm it, agree, disagree with me. but why am i going to online comics to get the news? but when i watch news outlets, i get some kind of comedic propaganda about the news. have you noticed the trend
