the a jail attacker who exposed abusive conditions of the prison he's being held in is the telephone access to his lawyers. his wife runs the move. the bureaus prisoners lawyer is telling them that she can only like to speak to them if they have upcoming reports deadline, whereas she's not applying that requirement to any of the others. also ahead and then use our privacy activist, pick up bite out of all over the tech giant controversial plans. the start scanning the file, the users for a child sex abuse. and we discussed the issue with a panel of experts. how was it going to be able to determine what is and isn't

appropriate effectively creates a back door to, to up to, to apples devices. where are they going to draw a line and the parents of a brain damage a 2 year old toddler, lose their finally to europe in court of human rights, to stop a u. k. hospital withdrawing and life support further, shall we speak to their lawyer, parents who wants to be in this position? they keeping their spirits office as best they can a bit. it is obviously a very tricky situation. oh i it's 11 am here in moscow. hope you're having a fine weekend wherever you are today. our top story this saturday and we begin with are continuing in depth coverage of the story of martin got felt he's

currently serving a prison sentence in the u. s. for hawking a hospital. he says he did bout to draw attention to a custody battle between the facility and the parents of a child being kept there without their consent. mister god spelled recently turned to us now for he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. me. mr. golf felt wife said communication with his lawyer was cut off shortly after he wrote an article published on our team website in the piece he describes cases of miss treatment out the prison he's being held it. the authorities though, say his lack of colds were simply done to changes in their cobra policy. we discussed the case with barb bryant and journalist, an activist who was in self imprison in connection with a data leak. and also dana got stop. they read all the mail, so they had a heads up on what was coming they should in at legal privilege mail, but i guess,

i guess they were aware, he had multiple attorneys who were trying to get in touch with him for meetings about strategic matters. he answered an appeal and other like just and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they catherine fairville, his that bureaus present 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. it's laurie himself over throughout the entire imprisonment, has been retaliated against for other articles. he's written or lawsuits. he has filed against a system against the visual wardens and so forth. having done for years and said 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 in the course of doing an interview with the interview and been put in the shoe for doing that or view and then release after investigation. you know, 2 weeks later, i was re arrested the orders in 2017 for getting interview device 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 a mentally vile. well, let's go through those details. 7 years ago, martin got felt hack the computer servers of boston childrens hospital. he said his actions were aimed at exposing a months long custody battle between the facility and the parents of 15 year old justina peltier. justine as mother and father had been disputing her a diagnosis by doctors which they had changed from a rare blood disorder to a mental condition. unfortunately separated the teenage girl from her family just

seen it was eventually reunited with her parents after a public cry. but mister gulf felt was arrested on there's no serving a 10 year term. it's so named community management units. those units were created as part of the war on terror and were done by the media. little guantanamo those. all communications with the outside world are monitored unrestricted, while typical inmates include terrorists, those linked to piracy and mafia members. martin got felt wife claims his placement . there is di, grimly excessive, and highlighted issues. her husband had with the judge, hearing the case. 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. most likely the agency that they would have to get justina

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. the government wanted to use the we're, we're a 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. but after trial, they put him in a unit for terrorists. it makes no sense even if previous prison, correctional officers recognize that this is a political case. i think that's why he's in the c m. u. so in terms of reaction, we've contacted both the judge, the adoption center as well for comment. we also asked leading rights organizations both in the us and worldwide for their take on the case the european court of human rights and human rights watch to list a can comment on the issue. while executive director of the human rights defense center, paul right sees the law behind martin gods fellows,

imprisonment is open to different interpretations. the problem and a lot of our laws is that it doesn't require necessarily a malicious attempt to, you know, to access a computer. and the last name is burt, fairly vague in terms of what to prescribe. the government, i think, is very happy with the act because the united states, you know, benefit greatly from bank laws that they can basically twist to meet the circumstances of the day or, or whatever it is for seeking to accomplish a moment. and the united states is, especially in the last 30 years or so, has become almost expert at drafting and imposing very broadly worded vague. was that impose, you know, fairly devastating sentences well, the case does raise questions, concerns, as well about the proportionality of us cyber law. not for the 1st time either. daniel hawkins or correspondent, husbands looking into golf. fels wasn't in the 1st case, the hit headline suits,

the computer fraud and abuse act came into force. i don't. schwartz, activist and harvard research fellow was charged under the cna with numerous violations at 1st facing up to 35 years in jail, for downloading and releasing academic journals to make them available to all the case. drove him to suicide. journalist matthew keys spent 2 years in prison for providing login detail us to a news website that resulted in the crime of a headline being altered, go through actions also had consequences, though his intentions might have been good and the resulting damage arguably minimal. this crime, he was jailed alongside the very worst in the penal system, among them those convicted of involvement with terrorism, piracy and matthew membership unit is commonly called guantanamo north, which gives you some idea of life inside the communications management unit is

established to house inmates who due to their current defense of conviction, offense, conduct or other verified information, require increased monitoring of communications with persons in the community to protect the safety, security and orderly operation of bureau facilities and protect the public. golf felt as complained of being placed in solitary confinement just for voice and concerns about the treatment of inmates among those failings in the handling of code cases which led to prison a death. he also accuses prisons thought of punitive measures. blocking is communication with lawyers and media. i was a journalist in prison for, for 13 years, for many years in washington state, i was routinely retaliated against punished for being critical of prison specials. on some respect, i think that probably goes with the territory and is the norm. i think in general, bureaucrats was pretty much total on check. power tend to not view favorably,

those who question that power and then the abuses of that power. so i was say, it was certainly would surprise me if he weren't needing retaliated by prison officials golf case will continue to draw attention and discussion. do ends justify means should activists acting on good intentions and altruism be treated equally with korea criminals? how many broken lives? does it take the reform obsolete laws? and how much difference can the actions of one person on a mission really make me another story where of course, today, huge privacy concerns of balance over apples plans to start scanning u. s. phones for child abuse pictures. it follows years of pressure from success of american governments demanding increased surveillance of encrypted data. and

additionally, new safety protection tools will warn children on their parents when sexually explicit photos or a central receipt apple with automatically scan for child abuse related material even before it's uploaded. to the i client storage service, if cases are confirmed, the user's account will be deactivated on the national center for missing and exploited children. notified with the blower, edward snowden has weighed in on the issue condemning the tech giant's new policy. unbelievable apple now circulating a propaganda letter describing the internet while opposition to the decision to start checking the private files on every i phone against the secret government, blacklist as the screeching voices of the minority. this has become a scandal to say that we are disappointed by apples plans is an understatement. apple's compromise on end to end encryption, may p government agencies in the u. s. and broad. but is a shocking about face for users who rely on the company's leadership and privacy

and security. yeah, that's the thing. the ramifications go beyond the initial, at problems with child abuse, pictures, and others. what we discussed with a panel of expert, what kind of algorithm are they going to use? that is able to scan billions of images and then segregate something that is not, let's say, a bear skin rug photo or some form of accept. i don't know what except the bull nudity is, but something that is innocent, something that is not in any way nefarious. how is it going to be able to determine what is and isn't appropriate? they'll be looking for, according to reports i've seen, known and already classified and sex abuse images, and which is al capital like. and that database and how those algorithms are used to search computers. and such like apple is refused to open affectively a back door to the encryption following cases of, of terrorism, thus murder,

rapes, kid not being what happened suddenly with this particular cause. yes, it is a good causing and important cause that makes our poll, you know, just go completely the other way in a free. the answer is, is the apple is probably exploiting the subject of child exploitation in order to enroll something that it feels. this is the only way page to sugar coated. few think you will have some kind of privacy interest in this. if you think that this photo and your cloud belongs to you, and you can tell the company that you've contract it, either through their hardware or whatever that to, to back off, stay out of your business. i mean, are we, are we serious? do we really think this even remotely as possible for us to tell big tech to back off, leave us alone stay. i don't want affairs,

it's already done. it's are the fact that they're even saying that they, they don't even have to tell us they're doing this. we know it. there are billions of users around the world. the vast, vast majority have not got any child sexual abuse imagery. and so they don't need to worry about that old damage is going to be scan. where are they going to go next? well, i going to look for trigger was all the things, or the images of all the things. where are they going to draw a line in this pole is becoming a de facto agency of the government. even though they say we're not going to hand over information to the police the 1st the will, but, but in any event they will be sharing the information with other government agencies. so. so then now becoming an agent of the state. ok, let's bring you to events in france. more than a 150 demonstrations are set to take place throughout the country today against

president microns, mandatory covert vaccination plans. numerous trade unions including medical groupings are rallying their members against the move or in the week people in paris, voice their anger in the streets of your francis constitutional a constant rule. the government's moves, legal, or europe correspondent peter oliver witnessed frances break for it until the weekend to protest to be the 4th in a row. the me on thursday, the french constitutional counsel ruled in favor of a change to the law. so will make sure that a health path has to be shown in order to and to cafe falls. restaurants even long

distance trains. those places to the list that already included cultural sites like museums, theaters, and cinemas with more than 50 people in attendance. while over half of the relation supports the use of these health passes. there is a small but very vocal minority who have vehemently opposed to them for much i see this as a betrayal for french people. it's segregation and a form of apartheid with the vaccination on one side and unvaccinated on the other . i speak on behalf of everyone alittle angry. it's not that we against the vaccine, but we have no one said because it is only 6 months old. it's called the fund it scandalous because the french don't want it. we know very well that the constitutional counsel that people are close to power will not go against power. in france, the 7 day average for new covert cases is solidly over $20000.00 per day. in germany, it's $1.00 to $2.00 and a half 1000,

but wising steadily. the health minister again spawn is to implement your restrictions before cases get to the levels seen in from a must school and negative tests should be required for essential things such as travelling on public transport going to the town hall over a hospital, but for nightclubs visiting stadiums or go into the theater, you places that the more of a luxury i can only imagine and she being granted to those people who have been vaccinated or tested for hope is that by prioritizing the vaccinated when it comes to access to public spaces, serious cases of cove, it will be reduced. mr. bucks, a 3 g approach for those that are involved which means vaccinated get tested, who are being tested or get knees and who have recovered. although that could be revised down to 2 g approach should cases rise, including only the vaccinated and those who have recovered from covert. but this policy has been roundly jumped on as draconian and overly exclusionary by

politicians, including those who are in coalition with german health minister spawn i think it is wrong and legally invalid to exclude those who not vaccinated from public life. no one should be excluded. instead, we need to convince people the berlin government policies haven't gone down well with a section of the german population who are involved in crashes with police. the protest had been found by german court and police officers are facing investigation for a heavy handed response to the crowd. italy, is it more similar situation to germany than from when it comes to code case biggest? from friday you need to present that covert pass through and through a whole rest of places. prime minister drunky pushing vaccination is the only way to avoid further locked down. but the delta, very interest threatening is spreads much more quickly than other variance without vaccinations, we'd have to close everything again. we're continuing to fly,

not only against the virus itself, but against the policies that are being put in place to try and stop it spread patrol over our fi, harris. the parents of a brain damage 2 year old toddler have lost their appeal of the european court of human rights. they're trying to stop a u. k. hospital withdrawing life support treatment for the little girl. the lawyer spoke to us, parents, we want to be in this position and they competed by their family, that community. and they are keeping this parish office as best they can a bit. it is a very tricky situation. her condition has been stable for 2 years now. we know that taking her by a transport will not be a detriment to her. what we have peace at the hospital will agree that little to

can be transferred to, to israel and to a hospital all for hi repeat to a willing to look after the parents of alta fix. lar, who are her civic jews, say, withdrawing her life support goes against their religious faith. they want to take her either to israel or to the u. s. for assessment and possible treatment. the u. k. hospitals say she has no chance of recovery. such a journey would only bring her further pain. the family's lawyer again, it lined his thoughts and by the judge's ruling, when you take the case to the european court, you're affectively taking the case against the government. because you are saying that the processes that we used were wrong and should have been, should have been better, they weren't properly applied. and so the position in a case like this is one where very often cases to the european court of human

rights successful. so it was one where you're asking the court to look at processes and procedures and it's, it's easier in a way for the european court of human rights to say, well, actually we don't, we don't find this is a problem here than actually getting into the minucci case still had in the program stealing to a new record, the highest daily figure for a legal migrant making the journey across being the shuttle from mainland europe to the u. k. is about to after this with the

the i mentioned that i saw that you know more than a month up in the last 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 to drive the car. but a 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 had happen to me. my life. the join me every 1st day on the alec 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. in

the 23 minutes into the program. welcome back. a record number of illegal migrants crossed the english channel to reach the u. k. in a single day this week, checking the total number of arrival so far this year to more than $10000.00. it comes amid reports that refugees having to quarantine in hotels, paid for by taxpayers, are not having their cobit isolation enforced. while returning british holidaymakers are facing daily calls and police checks, as you may already know, ortiz anesthesia too much over been talking to those affected, to accommodate the surgeon. a solid seekers to home office has spent tens of millions of pounds on bulk booking, full board totals to be used as a temporary housing. a number of these are located in the heart of major u. k. cities including london and manchester. many of the new arrivals have come

from the countries of the high levels of corona virus. british travelers still have to fork out nearly 2000 pounds for mandatory quarantine and the hotel is coming from a red list. country reports have also merged, claiming that hundreds of migraines thing and hotels have been breaching quarantine rules due to poor security enforcements and the premises. some security guards even admitted that they could not control quarantine because they do not know who is supposed to be self isolate, think we decided to try and catch up with some of the migraines, who's hotel stays, are being funded by the british taxpayer. and it looks like we're going to have to call the police if you'd only slight, the private property, no luck enough. first attempt, we were asked to leave the premises immediately off to kingston. removed more centrally to london, consistent district, managed to speak to refugee from libya. he told me he's allowed to leave his room for a cigarette during quarantine. to go out under the photos of the

5 to 10 minutes. most of the new come as a scattered in hotels around london. me in england like 10 months, 10 months in the summer house, in an exclusive area like this one. who does, he generally don't come cheap. we ask local what they thought the people seem to me to be very well behave. and i haven't noticed studies or problems in the area. this is offensive idea. they can only hear, you know, does that sound sweet thinking? they are eating smoking, you know, the home office insist that hotel accommodation is only a temporary solution to coping with the back of people waiting for a decision on their asylum application. but with the number of daily channel crossing, setting new records, the british tax 1st bill is only going to get bigger anastasia, so much of a r t london,

an investigation into the conduct of new york of nor andrew cuomo is drawing to a close. he's accused of sexual harassment on the miss handling of the cobit crisis in nursing homes for most been given an august 13 deadline to provide any additional material in his defense. after which the investigative committee will decide if he's to be impeached. his fellow democrats, including president biden himself, have called for his resignation, governor andrew cuomo, sexually harass multiple women, and in doing so violated federal and state law. i never touched any one inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. most important thing right now is for the governor to resign. he should be the people of new york. is there a better leadership in the governor's office? we continue to believe that the governor should resign. on tuesday, the new york state attorney general published details alleging the cuomo had

committed assaults against 11 women, including cases of unwanted tucked chink kissing inappropriate comments as well. the actions are considered a violation of both state and federal law. but there's currently no criminal investigation planned. andrew cuomo denied all allegations on earlier this year, the attorney general find the coma and ministration had quote, attempted to hide the covert mortality rate in nursing homes. thousands of deaths had been under reported which led to a public trial, but again, there is no legal consequences for the governor to date. we discuss the issue with the daughter of a man who died in a nursing home at the height of the covert crisis. she's calling for lawmakers to hold como responsible? if team fell, then people died. and everybody just cares about governor cuomo, due process. governor cuomo didn't afford my father and 15000 innocent people do processed when he signed their death warrants and sentenced them to death in

nursing homes. governor cuomo shows a deprived indifference for life. it doesn't matter if it's a young girl that works in his office, or if it's an elderly person and we need to hold him accountable for all of his crimes. i put that out fair to our lawmakers to please mention over 15000 people who have no voice. somebody needs to stand up for them and be their voice. and i do believe we're going to see that in his, in his impeachment trial, to give her a twitter page some of your scrolling time today. if you can not just news to be fine, there are all kinds of stories to keep you in the know this weekend. see said the me, a new gold rush is underway and gunner thousands of ill equipped workers flocking

to the goldfields, hoping to strike it. rich children are torn between gold education. my family was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school, which still it will have the strongest appeal. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful at the very critical time. time to sit down and talk the other stuff. and then you need to talk to someone like you could just touch base

with me and when i'm in a position, if you need questions on it for me, which mobile phone bill and it isn't about what was working for me, but it was now what you know how to choose, you can put an offer me going to be as long food one me to tell you to lose the other hand. that's why you need that because that quote actually was just i started a metal. it's not lucia for europe, a sandwich. the and i checked out the opposed to the good.
