[000:00:00;00] the ah, stories are not going to national. the russian rhythmic gymnastics team claims that it's been an injustice after the gold goes to israel, despite their athlete. dropping the ribbon during the performance of jail, taco who exposed abusive conditions of the prison that he's held in is denied telephone access to his lawyers. wife says it's an active vengeance bureau of prisons lawyer that she can only speak to them if they have upcoming court deadlines. whereas she's not applying that requirement to any of the others in the french capital rock to buy protests for

a 4th consecutive week as hundreds of parisians spend their anger at needing coven health passes to access more public places like falls and restaurants also purposely activation, take a bite out of apple over the tech giant's controversial plans to start scanning the files of users for child porn. we discuss it with a panel of experts. and how is it going to be able to determine what is and isn't appropriate effectively creates a back door to, to up to 2 devices. where are they going to draw a line? ah evening here in moscow. welcome to your news or not you to nation on rule research, the tokyo lympics that may be coming to an end this weekend, but there's still plenty of action making. the headlines that is,

for the 1st time since 1996, a russian athlete has been beaten to the gold in the rhythmic gymnastics of the highest award goes to israel, despite the athlete dropping her ribbon. during the performance. we discussed the issue with a head coach of rushes with make genetics team. but do you share a full, a blatant mistake, a deliberate injustice that had been premeditated as syria, sarah, committed by israel, the acid in no way prevented 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 ports may not exist and elliptic family in the

future be 2020 took your games have not been short on trauma. that's for sure. one of the biggest upsets has come on the ultimate day in the sport of rhythmic gymnastics now heading into the final and say already seen asking tina very not was the heavy favorite when she has oft rule. got 13 wild titles under her belt. what's more historically watching, how about dominated this sport, winning bold at the last 5 straight olympics but took here 2020 has stopped that rain a voucher and 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 who beat her to gold is 22 rolled is raining noise ash. from during her ribbon routine, she drops her ribbon. you can actually see and the video that although she keep smiling like the performance she absolutely, as she knows came down that this is a fault that will most likely dash her chances out. talk 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 point leaving a parent who performed a total clean performance without a single mistake with 2nd place on, by the way, making us from the only tim, 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, i'm glad they came 2nd, but it heard that it was unfair. it's not my 1st year in sports, and that's why you wouldn't get 1st please. i hoped, and they believed until the very last, but the america didn't happen to be at the post the revenue. so could you compare this cause that is really actually because in the prelim the 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 receipt team has had about fantasy did earlier raised concerns about unfair scoring and previous performances to protest housing facts being 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 to bride for russian athletes. they have seen open hostility, unintended skepticism all the time, that they have been that they seen the media around them even and tearing, to compete. they've had fellow sportsmen make pretty politicized gibes about doping up despite the fact that r a c. it's one of the most heavily tested contingents at tokyo, sat me in light with this. one has to hope that politics has not sealed a barrenness olympic fate. but really when you look, it was such a small point margin with also such a serious arrow. what people are such and you wonder whether the judge has made the right cool. have sports colon mister allen, more so as a recent change,

the rules may be israeli, when more possible back in 2016, what we have to understand is that the gymnastics, gymnastic organizations, they change a 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 or non dish 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 surface delay, but 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 instrument or you know, it still means you can get ahead of the clean, the one that you perform telling what we do continue here with our in depth coverage of the story of a mock and god has failed. he's done to us prison for hacking

a hospital. he says he did that to draw attention to a custody battle between the hospital and the parents of a child being held without their consent. and mister goddess l to be turned to us softly. he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. me thought a cell to wife says communication with his lawyer was cut off off that he wrote an article published on our website in the piece. he describes cases of mistreatment at the prison who then gothright. he's those say his lack of calls were simply down to changes in the coven policy. we discussed the case with dana got his failed and barren brown, a journalist, an activist who was himself imprisoned in connection with a data lake. 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 ledges and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they, catherine, sir, voltage, that bureau of prisons lawyer. and it's telling them that she can only let him speak to them if they have a coming 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 4 other articles. he's written or lawsuits. he has filed against the system against the visual wardens and so forth. nothing done for years and feds, myself or prison. the u. s. for my activism and having written, calling from prison, i've been in prison where there was no wall over. i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone. what was going to interview the interview and put in

the show for doing that interview and then release after investigation here, 2 weeks later, i was re arrested on the field. 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, north gosh, where there is just the record of the u. s. saw it on this. is just a mentally vile. 7 years ago, martin got his veiled, hacked, the computer servers of our boston's childrens hospital. he said his actions were aimed at exposing a long custody battle between the facility and the parents of 15 year old justina paulette justin. his mother and father had been disputing her notice by the doctors who had changed from a red blood disorder to a mental disorder. and then that meant that the girl was forcibly separated from her family. now just tina was eventually were united with a parent soccer, a public outcry, but mr. got his failed was arrested and its also having a 10 year term. so named a communications management unit. or are those units were actually created as part

of the war on terror were dubbed by the media as little guantanamo as old communications with the outside world of monitored and restricted. while typical inmates include terrorists, those linked to piracy and matthew members, a modern go to spell 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 started mom was at 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 just, 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 file after trial. they put him in a unit for terrorist. it makes no sense even a previous prison correctional officers recognize that this is a political case. i think that's why he's in the c m. u. we have contacted by the judge on the adoption center for comment. we also asked leading rights organizations both in the u. s. and worldwide for that. take the europe in court of human rights and human rights watch about us that they can comment on the issue that daniel hawkins now reports. golf fells wasn't on the 1st case. the hit headline seems to compute a fraud and abuse. the act came into force irons schwartz, the activist and harvard research fellow, was charged under the c. f. a 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 journalists, 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 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

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 have led to prison a death. he also accuses prisons, thought 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. i think, in general, bureaucrats was pretty total on check. power tend to not view favorably, those who question that power and any abuses of that power. so i would 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 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 what used to be due process is become increasingly clear sized. 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, 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 a 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 for the policy here at moscow, demonstrations are continuing to take place as we speak. this is in paris against plans to require cobit health passes from all public places. you've got to have them for bars, restaurants, all sorts of transportation systems to a numerous trade unions including medical groupings, all rallying that members against the move earlier in the week, people in the french capital voice, their anger on the streets after the countries constitutional council ruled the

government moved one legal, peter, all of her husband's reports from her. not a mosque in sight, really amongst the crowd. i've been with you've made their way through power as to 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. empower is said, i was with them along the way for the march and boring 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 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 in paris as well as demonstrations in around 150 other french cities, is that these people aren't happy with the proposals put forward by the french governments. and that 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 covered path is, is basically a q r code that says whether you've been vaccinated, what you've been vaccinated with it also logs and covert tests that you've had carried out. now it already was the law that you have to show one of these to get into cultural sites like cinema museums and galleries anyway. but 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. they would see 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, actually they don't really mind the cobra health class that 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 pops. 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 week that had been some violence between police and demonstrators stop having materialize this time around as the demonstration, the march here in paris is reached its final destination. but most of the come here on the program about halfway through this edition right here, build a common investigation into the conduct of new york. governor cuomo,

fast approaching even his fellow democrats, a rounding of me, including president biden, a story, and more just a month. oh, i i, i, the ah ah, i

use so 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. developments only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the good if you to join us for this program, a huge privacy concerns a bound over apples plans to start scanning u. s. i phones for child abuse, pictures. it follows years of pressure from washington demanding increase surveillance of encrypted data. additionally,

news safety protection tools will warn children on their parents when sexually explicit photos authentic received. apple will automatically scan for child abuse related material even before it's uploaded to the i cloud storage service. now if cases are confirm, the uses account will be deactivated the national center for missing and exploited children. notified a whistleblower edward snowden has a weight in on the issue condemning the tech giant's new policy. unbelievable apple now circulating a propaganda letter describing the infinite wide opposition to the decision. to start checking the private files on every iphone against the secret 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. 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. we discuss the issue and its wider 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, let's say, a bare skin rug photo or some form of accept. i don't know what acceptable 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 to be looking for? according to reports, i've seen no already classified and abuse images and which is like and that database and algorithms are used to searching computers this season. search like apple is refused to open, effectively a back door to the encryption following cases of, of terrorism,

bus 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. i think the answer is, is the police probably exploiting the subject of child exploitation in order to enroll something that it's phil. 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 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 fact that you 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, they going to look for the trigger word, so all the things or the images of all the things. where are they going to draw a line in this whole 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, there will be sharing the information with other government agencies. so. so then now becoming an agent of the state and investigation into the conduct of new york governor andrew cuomo is drawing to a close. he's accused of sexual harassment. and the mishandling of the covert crisis and nursing homes klemmer'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, his fellow democrats and even the president himself. want him gone governor andrew cuomo, sexually harass multiple women, and in doing so violated federal and state law. i never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. most important thing right now is. ready for the governor to resign, think 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 that cuomo had committed assaults against 11 women, including unwanted touching, kissing and comments of the actions are considered a violation of both state and federal law. that is currently no criminal

investigation in the planning. and you quote denies all the allegation. when i earlier this year, the attorney general found the quote, administration had, quote, attempted to hide the covert mortality rate and nursing homes. thousands of deaths were under reported, which led to a public outcry. but again, there's been no legal consequences for the governor to date. so we discussed the issue with a daughter of a man who died in a nursing home with the height of the cobit crisis. and she's quoting for lawmakers to hold quote, to account 15000 people died and everybody just cares about governor foremost 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 quit that out there to our law makers, 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. the parents of a brain damaged a 2 year old toddler have lost their appeal to the european court of human rights that tried to stop a u. k. hospital withdrawing life support treatment for the little girl. the lawyer spoke to us. ne parents would want to be in this position and they accompanied by their family and the community and they are keeping this parish office as best they can 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 be a detriment to her what we have peace at 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 parents of alta fix la who are her civic jews, say, withdrawing her life support goes against their religious faith. they want to take her either to israel or america for a set of assessment and possible further treatment that you can hospital says she has no chance of recovery. and that's such a journey would only bring her further pain. the family's lawyer again outlined his thoughts about 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. then actually getting into the minucci case and read more about that right now on line on our website r t dot com. for the meantime though, your top stories line up for this saturday program returning at the top of the hour the the,

the the, the this is the one visit show you can't afford to miss. i'm rachel blood. but i'm branch bore in washington county, several business groups have moved on lobbying the binding in ministration to resume trade talks with china straight ahead boom bus, christie, i am professor richard wolf are both on hand to discuss. and to be united states has called on major tech firms to help tackle ransomware lever report on the effort combat the recent wave of cyber attack. then crypto currencies are storing in the wake of a major development for a theory. i will bring you up to speed along with the latest comments on who has the authority to regulate crypt. we have a fact here today, so as dive right in we leave the program with the latest on the state of trade
