like balls and privacy activists. take a bite out of apple over the tech jobs, controversial plans system scanning the files of users, but child competence. we've got the issue with a panel of how we're 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 i had a great have you with this is on the took care of and picks may be coming towards a conclusion this weekend, but the plenty of action making lots of headlines, for example, for the 1st time since $996.00, a russian athletes been pitt, to gold in the rhythmic gymnastics, the highest award going to israel,
12:02 pm
despite their roughly dropping the ribbon during her performance. and that caused a storm of control oversee with the head coach of rushes, rhythmic gymnastics team going so far as to suggest. it was a deliberate provocation, but do you share a blatant mistake, a deliberate injustice that had been premeditated as syria. sarah committed bonus, railey acid in no way preventive from winning gold. i've never in my life made a single protest in history not attend the olympics. a world cup or any other competition. now, i filed 3 protests against politics, but this was just awful. and it's hard to explain it in any other way. perhaps these can be explained by the fact that russia has been winning for 20 years. and that it was important for someone to remove russia from the witness list. it was done in the most disgusting way. i think we will turn to thomas bog. but given these kinds of refereeing such as port may not exist and elliptic family in the future may 2020 take your games have not been shown on trauma. that's for sure. one of the biggest upsets has come on the pin ultimate date and the sport of rhythmic
12:03 pm
gymnastics. now heading into the final and say already seen asking tina very not will be heavy favorite when she has off row got 13 wild titles under her belt. what's more historically watching, how about dominated this sport winning gold at the last 5 straight lympics but took here 2020 has stopped that rain. a foreigner has gone home with silva and now there are questions being raised as to whether she was in fact robbed. so what's the drama here? well, the thing is, is that the gymnast to beat her to gold is 22 rolled is raining noise ash. from during her ribbon routine, she dropped her ribbon. you can actually see and the video that although she keeps smiling like the performance she absolutely, as she knows down that this is a fault that will most likely dash her chances are gold medal. but no, apparently the judge has decided otherwise. because despite that serious hours, she went on to claim fast paced by margin of not point $15.00 points,
12:04 pm
leaving varina, who had performed a total clean performance without a single mistake with 2nd place. and by the way, making out from the only gym, nothing the history of the olympic games to win a gold despite dropping a piece of her parameters. and it's all of this combined. that's lead the r a c team to cry foul. can use the voice. of course you heard lou, i'm glad they came 2nd, but it heard that it was unfair. it's not my 1st year in sport, and that's why you wouldn't get the 1st please. i hoped, and they believe until the very last, but the america didn't have the post the 70. could you compare this cause that is really actually because in the preliminary round, without that error, they were the same as what she got today with the error and didn't very know who performed 13 brilliantly and deserved a higher grade. got a lower one. and last, it was a disgrace to the judges that were assigned to dina. very now, this isn't the fast qualm the our team has had about fantasy did earlier raised
12:05 pm
concerns about unfair scoring and previous performance. if to protest had, in fact been lodged both. what rejected and of course the wider atmosphere has to be taken into account here. the tokyo games have not been the easiest ride for russian athletes. they have seen open hostility, unintuitive skepticism all the time that they have been that they've seen the media around them. but even and tearing, to compete, they've had fellow sportsmen make pretty politicize jives about doping up despite the fact that r a c, i think it's all one of the most heavily tested, contingent at tokyo, sat me in light of with this one has to hope that politics has not sealed a barren as a limb pick fate, but really when you look at it with such a small point margin, with also such a serious arrow, people are such and wondering whether the judges made the right cool. suppose color mr. moore says, a change to the rules is downgraded the importance of the perfect performance back
12:06 pm
in 2016, what we have to understand is that the gymnastics, gymnastic organization, they change the way of scoring. so now we're not 6, you get more points. there's no ceiling on points, so the more amazing at rages largest moves you make, you get more points. now, money people would say that he has been reduced to kind of like a circus. it is like kind of start to so labeled in your lympics. so the more difficult you show, you perform, sorry, say tricks, but it's like the moves that you make, you get more points. it does even with the object with dropped instant or you know, it means you could to get ahead of the likely not the one that you perform telling we continue with our in depth coverage of the story of martin gods felt he's currently serving a prison sentence in the u. s. for hacking hospital, he says he did that to draw attention to
12:07 pm
a custody battle between the facility and the parents of a child being kept there without that consent. mr. goats felt recently turned to us after he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. me now mr. goats found why says communication with his law was cut off shortly after he wrote an article that was published on ortiz website and did not p c describe cases of mistreatment of the prison where he's being held the authority. so say his lack of calls was simply down to changes in that covey policy. we discussed the case with parent brown, a journalist, an activist who was himself imprisoned in connection with a data li will suspect, with dana goals felt they read all 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
12:08 pm
other legit and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they catherine, sir, belt his that bureaus prison lawyer. and it's 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 he was a prison, meant, has been retaliated against for other articles. he's written or lawsuits. he has filed against the system against individual wardens and so forth. nothing done for years. and feds myself the prison, the u. s. for my activism and having written, calling from prison. i've been in prisons where there wasn't a lot. i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone, what she's doing, interview media, interviewing and putting the show for doing that interview and then release after
12:09 pm
an investigation or 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 gosh, where there is it just did the record of the u. s. on this is just a mentally vile. 7 years ago, martin goes felt hence the computer serve as a boston childrens hospital. he said his actions were aimed at exposing a non san custody battle between the facility and the parents of 15 year old justina. paulette just seen his mother and father had been disputing her diagnosis by doctors suits changed it from a red blood disorder to a mental condition and forcibly separated the teenage girl from her family. justina was eventually reunited with her parents after a public outcry, but mr. golds felt was arrested. he civic a 10 year term now and a so named communications management unit. now those units were created as part of
12:10 pm
the war on terror. they would dub by the media, little guantanamo, or communication with the outside world monitor. restricted typically mates include terrorists, those are the piracy mafia members. i think also the wife claims his placement. there is staggeringly excessive and highlighted issues. her husband had with the judge hearing the case. i think that's what really fed 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 it's likely the agency that they would have used to get justina 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. the government want to use the we're, we're a terrorist in the judge said no. need to try to nathaniel gordon who hates marty, said you can't use that word. that's not what this was. but after trial,
12:11 pm
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, we contacted both the judge and the adoption center for comments. we'll so leading rights organizations, both in america and worldwide. so that take on the case, the european court of human rights and human rights. what so does that, they can comment on the issue the case, those raise public concerns about the proportionality view as cyber laws and not for the 1st time with all not is are these daniel hawkins goss felts, wasn't on the 1st case headlines. so the computer fraud and abuse act came into force. i don't schwartz, the 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
12:12 pm
journalists, matthew keys spent 2 years in prison for providing logging details to a news website that resulted in the crime of the headline being to go through actions also had consequences, though his intentions may have been good and the resulting damage arguably minimal this crime, he was jailed alongside the very worst in the penal system, among them both convicted of involvement with terrorism, piracy, and matthew membership. his 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, fence 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
12:13 pm
complained of being placed in solitary confinement just for voice and concerns about the treatment of inmates among those failings in the hands of code cases, which have led to prison a death. he also accuses prison, staff of punitive measures blocking his 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 and punished for being critical of prison officials on some respect. i think that probably goes with the territory and is the norm, 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, gospel case will continue to draw attention and discussion. do ends justify means should activists acting on good intentions and altruism be treated equally with
12:14 pm
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 the harm, should be proportionate to the sentence, not the potential harm. and increasingly, what we see, certainly in the us justice system, is this kind of trend of symbolic convictions and symbolic sentences, whereby the politicization of the justice system and the what used to be due process is become increasingly politicized. and i think we can see that in so many different cases, especially with the area of cyber crime or hacking, it seems that and i think maybe this just really speaks to the ability of hackers or hacked of ists to threaten the power structure which has become increasingly dependent on digital networks,
12:15 pm
we only have to look really at the julian assigned case as, as the sort of top level sort of case in this area. he is absolutely and political prisoner, and it's not so much about what he did. it's about what he represents and the ability of an organization to get around the powers of the state. demonstrations are taking place in parish right now against plans to require cobit health passes for more public places, including balls, restaurants, and long distance transport. him is trade unions including medical groups and laying their members against, moved and earlier in the week, people in the capital voice that answer on the streets after the countries constitutional council had ruled, the government moves were legal over. for instance, the latest from the streets, a path not a mosque in sight, really amongst the crowd i've been with. you've made their way through power as to
12:16 pm
where i am right now, right in the center, just me a to the big tourist destinations of notre dom cathedral. and next to the world famous hotel, the vill, the order just went out shortly before i came on to talk to you to the police, they were near by telling them to take off the the big why you tell them it's and, and put on the soft peppy, so it certainly seems that they are preparing for any type of violence with the crowd who have reached their final destination. here in paris said i was with them along the way for the march, and following a few incidences of pushing and shoving and at least one time where i saw a pepper spray being used by the police. it's all being very peaceful. those incidents really came at those areas whereby the crowd to move in a direction at the police wanted them to go in the crowd didn't want to go into that direction and the police made sure that they went in the direction the police wanted them to go in but the reason these people have been out on the streets here empowers as well as demonstrations in around 150 other french cities is that these
12:17 pm
people aren't happy with the proposals put forward by the french governments and being backed up by the concentration of council that it can be put into law. the people will have to show a coven health path in order to enter things like balls, restaurants, cafes, as well as go on long distance train journeys as well. what this covert puffs is, is basically a q r code that says whether you've been vaccinated, what you've been vaccinated with. it also logs, and he coven tests that you've had carried out. now it already was low. so you have to show one of these to get into cultural sites like cinema museums, on gallery, anywhere that there would be more than 50 people. now it's being expanded out, so it'll include much more locations on the health possible, really be a part of people's life here in front. it would seem those people not happy with it . it's worth pointing out. they are in the minority when it comes to the french population, over half of they surveyed said,
12:18 pm
actually they don't really mind the cobra health path. they're pretty much in favor of it. it is a path that we're seeing more and more across european germany. there also, they have the coven health paths. they're looking to make it, perhaps more used in more locations in italy as well, from just friday. they've said that you're going to need that pastor and a whole load of different areas. so while these people particularly happy about it here in front, it does certainly seem like it's the way forward these demonstrations were the 4th week of such gatherings in from the previous weeks that had been some violence between police and demonstrates is that haven't materialize this time. around as the demonstration, the march here in paris is reached the final destination the for the sound investigation into the conduct of new york, governor cuomo is approaching even his fellow democrats, president biden, among them, a calling for his resignation. story and more of the the
12:20 pm
the the, the, the, the welcome back. huge privacy concerns abound over and those plans to start scanning us. i phones the child abuse, pictures that fall as years of pressure from successive us government's demanding increased surveys having corrupted data. additionally, new safety protection tools will warm children in the parents. when sexually explicit photos are sent or received, ample will automatically scan for child abuse related material even before it's
12:21 pm
uploaded to the icloud storage service. and the case is a confirmed the uses account will be deactivated and the national center for missing and exploited children. notified whistleblower edward snowden weighed in on the issue condemning the tech johnson the 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 black list as the screeching voices of the minority. this has become a scandal to say that we are disappointed by apples plans is an understatement. apples 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. we discussed this issue and this, why the ramifications with our guests. what kind of algorithm are they going to use? that is able to scan billions of images and then segregated something that is not,
12:22 pm
let's say, a bare skin rug photo or some form of except i don't know what except the bow 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 already classified and sex abuse images and which is like and that database and how those algorithms are used to searching computers and such like apple is refused to open, effectively 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,
12:23 pm
just go completely the other way in. i think the answer is, is the apple is probably exploiting the subject of child exploitation in order to enroll something that it's filled. 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 and 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 out of fairs, 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 majority have not got any child sexual abuse imagery,
12:24 pm
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 one of the things, or the images of all the things. where are they going to draw a line in this pole is becoming a defacto 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, but in any event they will be sharing the information with other government agencies. so. so then now becoming an agent of the state, the parents of a brain damage 2 year old toddler have lost their appeal at the european court of human rights. they're trying to stop and you can hospital with drawing life support treatment for the little girl. the lawyer spoke to us ne periods, we want to be in disposition and they competed by their family as a community and they are keeping this parish office as best they can
12:25 pm
a bit. it is obviously a very tricky situation. her condition has been stable for 2 years now. we know that taking her by a transport will not said be a detriment to her. what we have is that the hospital will agree that little to can be transferred to, to israel, to a hospital all for hi repeat to a willing to look after the parent self. alta fixed la who are acidic, jews say, withdrawing her life support goes against their religious faith. they want to take her on the to israel or america for assessment and possible treatment. you get hospital says though that she has no chance of recovery and such a journey would only bring her further pain. the family's lawyer again outline his thoughts about the judge's ruling. when you take the case to the european court,
12:26 pm
you're effectively 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 than actually getting into the minucci case. ah, an investigation into the conduct of new york govern. andrew cuomo is drawing to a close, he's accused of sexual harassment. and the mishandling of the kobe crisis in
12:27 pm
nursing homes come, he's been given an august 13th deadline to provide any additional material in his defense. after which the investigative committee will decide if he is to be impeached or not. this fellow democrats even president bond himself 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. think he should resign the people of new york deserve 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 cova had committed assaults, i guess, 11 women including cases of wanted touching, kissing, and inappropriate comments. the actions are considered a violation of both state and federal law,
12:28 pm
but this currently the criminal investigation planned and giacomo denies will allegations. early this year, the attorney general found the cuomo administration had quotes, attempted to hide the coven mortality rate in nursing homes. thousands of deaths have been under reported, which led to a public outcry. but again, there's been no legal consequences for the governor to date. we discussed the issue with the daughter of a man who died in the nursing home and the height of the covey crisis. and she's calling for law makers to hold cuomo, responsible? 15000 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
12:29 pm
crimes. i put that out there 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 is, is his impeachment trial. ok. you're up to date, don't forget the last one you stories covered on a website. want to check them out by going to r t dot com. the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interest. what you see in this, these techniques is the state devising message to end essentially destroy personality of an individual by scientific means. this is how one doctor's theories
12:30 pm
were allegedly used in psychological warfare against the prisoners deemed a danger to the state. 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. and how the victim say they still live with the consequences today. actually foster just kind of not familiar with amherst the night shifts at the the good you know, mean we just would you cache or vision composure else? not which kind of 3 another bunch of probably 3 cross motions the much the.
