so suck it up. and be fun in the police has to happen. we need to defend the police . us congresswoman cory bush is accused of hypocrisy, as it revealed her security detail. cross tax payers, some $70000.00. she's been calling to defend the police as murder rates across the us. so ah, bringing the news from around the world. this is our teens are national. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. we start with special coverage of the story of martin gods felt he's currently serving a prison sentence in the u. s. 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 felt recently turned to us after he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. as my colleague, rory su,

shay reports, me 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 covert 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,

catherine fear voltage that bureaus prison lawyer is telling them that she can only let him speak to them if they have upcoming court deadlines. where she's not applying that requirement to any of the other inmates. got of else case made headlines of the world over thanks to what he described 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, its actions exposed a month long custody battle between the hospital and justine, as parents had been disputing her diagnosis by the doctors who upgrades with 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,

tell him 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 link to piracy and even might be a members to we discuss the conditions in which martin got 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 was imprisonment, has been retaliated against 4 other articles written lawsuits. he has filed against a system against individual wardens and so forth. nothing done for years. and the feds myself, the prison. the us 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 doing, interview media, interviewing, and put an issue 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 u. s. norco shred there, and it just did that. the record of the us saw it on this is a mentally vile i trial. they said the government wanted to use the were, were terrorist in the judge said, no need to catch you. nathaniel gordon who hates marty, said you can't use that word. that's not what this was. by after trial, they put him in a unit for terrorists. it makes no sense even a previous prison correctional officers and 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 more than 10 years in prison. he called your husbands 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. ready that often partners and has received donations from boston childrens hospital, it's 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 a judge on the adoption center to comment on the allocations. we'll let you know what they have to say. in the meantime, we also offer a lead in human rights organization. you can see right here from america and all around the world to comment on goddess 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 it is, a national data wraps up our special coverage for you. we will bring you more developments on this story as they happen both on air and online. ah, to go now to afghanistan, where taliban fighters have reportedly made another major advance. they've saved seized control of a regional capital, which has not happened for 5 years. according to local media, the city of iran at the center of the numerous province fell without resistance. so far, the afghan government hasn't commented on the situation. meanwhile, residents of another regional capital into car province are fleeing their homes. market streets in the in the city have been closed due to the threat of an attack. as afghan armed forces are battling taliban fighters in the area, locals describe the situation to us. when 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. but tell you about have completely surrounded asian earlier the head of the afghan government media department was shot dead in couple. and we got the latest from a local journalist there. what does that shows you? that this deadly string of assassinations continues and cobbled a thought of and said that 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 charlotte,

on the capital of jose done province. the home of marshal dose 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 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 corrie 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 defined it. 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. current bush will be fine with her private security. but every day 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. there also, public filings show that cory bush has spent some $70000.00 of government funds in the past 3 months on personal protection. services during a cd cbs interview, she said she'd received death threats amid her calls to defend 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. cobit new york city launched a safe summer program to try and curb the trend, but in fact, the number of shooting victims has risen markedly there. we discussed the issue with, with journalists, lauren, gen. 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 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 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 american intelligence services reportedly got their hands and the genetic research database of the chinese, veronica g institute. and will hon with cnn suggesting that a hack may have been involved? the revelation comes amid global efforts to establish coven 1900 origins. earlier the world health organization and the u. s. slammed china for supposedly withholding access to data. but a special mission concluded that it was unlikely that the virus was artificially created. former president donald trump frequently used inflammatory rhetoric, branding at the china virus. while in may us president joe biden ordered us intelligence services to accelerate their probe into the origins of the virus and to report back in 90 days. we spoke with a former us intelligence officer, scott ritter, who thinks it's an attempt to deflect attention away from the problems closer to

home. i think there is a tendency to find a convenient cas blame on china by an ordered this intelligence review. it was, it was after turn leaks to the press about intelligence information that were cherry picked by my state department as part of sort of a, 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. now talk to some world update. so 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 agitation and fanned by strong winds, the dixie fire, as it's being named tor, through greenville buildings dating back to the gold rush era were completely

destroyed. along with a school gas station, church hotel 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 through the golgi plateau were 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, the locals have been forced to run their own rescue and fire fighting operations. while thousands have been forced to flee the area, hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets of melbourne, australia as the country's 2nd largest city entered its 6th pandemic lockdown 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 vaccinated. the america was back. that's the message. the u. s. vice president is taking on the road to vietnam, but are those the words local there want to hear the story add more have for the short break? ah, ah ah, ah. ah, i will.

i join me every 1st a on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the, the me ah, welcome back. now the world health organization wants wealthy nations to temporarily forego giving out coven vaccine booster shots. so the 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. we feel that it's a false choice and that we can be off 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 nearly a 3rd of the world's population has received at least one dose of the 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 saskia taylor gut reaction from guests. 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 soon 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 live in the supply to only allow 5 maternity produce the successful vaccine. we need to flock the world news 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 deliver vaccines to the rest of the world. globally. we're going to need more different types of faxing. 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 baron is because we're filing to vaccinate the 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 the government have to very now 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 resistance. 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 faxing, billionaires in the last 6 months, the shareholders of pfizer are making more money than they can ever dream of. meanwhile, were failing back from a city and the people that, that isn't pulling pulling failure on the part bridge country before the signing on the pharmacy company. 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 this message is something people in that part of the world really want to hear as ortiz,

dmitri polk explains, 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 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 to t bombs on villages. do you think if camera was off, how many vietnamese civilian and soldier deaths america was responsible for over 25 year period? that i guess would be even with an 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, an 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 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 people, but ocean people and their camp body of 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 civically 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 biting 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 us administration has to such a painful spot as vietnam is kind of sending mixed messages to those who fil, 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

a lot of people say that the united states is that 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 the 3rd world countries and we destroyed their democracy so we can, so we can exploit them. that's what we do. that's all for this. our stay tuned for more world news and just about 30 minutes. the me just doesn't need to look i just was off the field. she was all kinds of

good actually use them she she says i to build me up with your vehicle, but yes, i would continue to tell you with a dinner each came from a credit issued by both of us people to choose . ah, i mentioned that i sat, you know, more than a month up in the last can arctic. and when i got back, i had just totally refrained 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 . dr. carbonate never saw. great. that was, i don't have to go out and walk 5 miles downhill 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 in my life. ah, the the know what was, what was the good and you can measure can while we're on by now i was and i know i should know moment a little moan on the sofa

on layer like hold on and then that will allow you to go for have an initiation and with much i should look at it and wanna keep it in but no, no, i mean, i mean i saw it and it went out on my in my name is c o one, and i make no certainly no borders and the blind number please. as emerge, we don't, we don't actually, the whole world needs to take action and be ready. not a joke. people are judge crisis,

we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges wait for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in the other stuff. and then you need to talk to someone who actually put back in touch with anybody when me and i got a job when i'm in a position

where you may need which can go on for let me know which one you want to do about what i was looking for the day join me what it was. i got to know how to choose. you can put up with me going to be as long food. i want to tell you that he hand up. why would you need that? is that quote the this is the one visit sure you can.
