why would you need that? because that quote, the hour's top stories are not see the russian rhythmic gymnastics team claims as being an injustice off. the gold goes to israel, despite the athlete dropping her ribbon during the performance of jail, haka, who exposed abusive conditions at the prison he's being held in. it's denied telephone access to his lawyers. his wife brands the move as an active vengeance bureau of prisons lawyer told them that she can only let him speak to them if they have come in the courts deadline where she's not applying that requirement to any of the other inmates. at franklin heaving its rock, now by protests for a 4th consecutive week, a quarter of

a 1000000 people across the country, offending their anger against plans to require these so called coven health policy . so you can go to a place like a boss or even a restaurant also in the program for you purpose. the activists take applied how to baffle over the tech. john is controversial plan to start scanning the files of all users for the child porn. we discussed the issue with a panel of analysts. how is 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 i welcome to it's not that i program here. when you inter national, the entire news him, he has been loading up your top stories for this hour. so welcome to the tokyo

olympics. may soon be coming to an end. that will be the weekend, but there's still plenty of action making the headlines for the 1st time since 1996, a russian athlete has been beaten to the gold and the rhythmic gymnastics. the highest award goes to israel, despite the athlete dropping her ribbon during the performance. we discussed the issue with a head coach of rushers rhythmic gymnastics team. but do you share a blatant mistake, a deliberate and just as that had been premeditated as syria. sarah, committed by israel, the acid in no way prevent her 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 short on trauma. that's for sure. one of the biggest upsets has come on the pin ultimate date in the sport of rhythmic gymnastics. now heading into the final and say already seen asking tina very not will be heavy favorite when she has off rule got 13 wild titles under her belt. what's more historic p watching how about dominated this sport, winning bold at the last 5 straight lympics but took here 2020 has stopped that rain. a baron 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. i shrum during her ribbon routine, she drops 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 leaving a baron who performed a total clean performance without a single mistake with 2nd place. and by the way, making sure the only jim 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'd heard you, 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 the 1st please. i hoped, and they believed until the very last, but the miracle didn't happen to be at the post the revenue. could you compare the 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 quam the are. if he team have had about fairness that it raised 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 to ride 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 . that's the, despite the fact that receipt athletes, one of the most heavily tested contingents at tokyo, sat me in light of with this. one has to hope that politics has not sealed a baron as a limb. pick fate, but really when you look, it was such a small point margin with also such a serious arrow. people are such and wondering whether the judges made the right

cool. have. we spoke with our sports colon just alan moore. he says there's been a change to the point scale system that perhaps tipped up the balance back in 2000 . and 16, what we have to understand is that the gymnastics, the gymnastic organizations, the 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 are large 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 ole, but in your lympics. so the more difficulty you show, you perform, sorry say trick. what is 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

this is r t n to national. we do continue now with our special coverage of the story of martin got us felt he's in a 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 that consent. i got his failed recently turned to us after he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. me got a sales wife says communication with his lawyer was cut off after he wrote an article that was published on our website in the p. c describes cases of mistreatment at the prison. his in the authorities, those day his phone access was limited due to the coven policy. we discussed it with a dana got his failed underpowered, brown, journalist and activists to himself was imprisoned in connection with a data league. 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 and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they, catherine fairville, who's that bureaus. prison lawyer is telling them that she can only let him speak to them if they have upcoming court deadlines. whereas she's not applying that requirement to any of the other. it's laurie himself over throughout the entire he was 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. having done for years in the feds myself, the ropers in the u. s. for my activism and having written, call them 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 the course of doing, interview media interviewing and putting the show 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 us, nor ca shredded there, and it just did that. the record of the us saw it on this is just a mentally vile. 7 years ago, martin got us held hacked, the computers of our boston childrens hospital. he wanted to expose a months long custody battle between the facility and the parents of a 15 year old justina, paulette d. a. a mother and father had been disputing her diagnosis by the doctors who had changed from a red blood disorder to a mental condition, and then they forcibly separated a teenage girl from her family. now justina was eventually reunited with parents after a public outcry. but mr. got his failed was arrested. he's now serving a 10 year term and a so called

a communications management unit. of these units were created as part of the war on terror adopt as a by the media. as little guantanamo those old communications with the outside world monitored and restricted, all typical inmates include terrorists, so those linked to piracy and my fear often got us felt wife claims his placement there is excessive and his treatment illegal. i think that's what really a mock 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. most likely the agency that they would have to get just 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 wanted to use the we're, we're a terrorist in the judge said, no, we did try to 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 terrorist. it makes those times 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 contacted both the judge and the adoption incentive, a comment. and we also asked our leading rights organizations both in america and worldwide for that, take the european quarter of human rights and human rights watch. both said they can't comment. i thought daniel hawkins now reports golf. fels wasn't on the 1st case headline. so the computer fraud and abuse act came into force and 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 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 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 and 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 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. i think, in general, bureaucrats was pretty much total unchecked. 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 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 a 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. well, there's no common side in front, so people across the country have been out to protest for a 4th weekend straight. it's all against plans to require these are so called covert health policies, so you can go to public places and bars and restaurants and certain public transport just to make some quarter of a 1000000 people turned out all across the country. this includes numerous trade unions including medical groupings. they've been rallying their members earlier in the week. people in the french capital voice, their anger on the street softer the countries constitutional counsel ruled. the

government moves were legal, a praetor, all of us all this report a short time ago from the streets of paris. 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 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 that were near by telling them to take off the the big why it's helmets and, and put on the soft happy. 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 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 main reason these people have been out on the streets here in paris as well as demonstrations in around a 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 constitutional counsel that it can be put into law, the people will have to show a co would help us in order to enter things like balls restaurants, cafes, as well as go on long distance train journeys as well. what this cobra pass 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 the law that you have to show one of these to get into cultural sites like cinema is museums and galleries. anyway 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. 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 europe in 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 unhappy 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 demonstrators stop having materialize this time around. as the demonstration, the march here in paris is reached, the final destination. stories are lots of stories billed to come here on the

program on your international, including an investigation into the conduct of new york. governor cuomo, fast approaching, even as a fellow democrats, including the president. want him gone the story and quite a lot more interest about one minute time. ah, join me every thursday and 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 this is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for the

tycer relation community? are you going the right way or are you being direct? what is truth? what is in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah ah, ah, ah. 20 past 9 saturday evening here at moscow. huge privacy concerns abound of apples plans to start scanning u. s. i phones for child abuse, pictures,

and follow here to pressure from washington, demanding increased, so valence of encrypted data. additionally, new safety protection tools will warn children and their parents when the sexually explicit photos are sent or received. a whole will automatically scan for child abuse related material even before it's uploaded to the icloud storage service. now if cases are confirm, the count of the user will be deactivated. a call will be made to the national center for missing and exploited children. it was a blow. edward snowden has weighed in on the issue. he condemned the tech companies, new policy. unbelievable apple. now circulating a propaganda letter describing the internet white opposition to the decision. to start checking the private files on every iphone against a 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. apples compromise on end to end encryption,

may p government agencies in the u. s. and broad. but as a shocking about face for users who rely on the companies, leadership and privacy and security, we discussed the issue and that's why the ramifications with august. 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 except 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 and already classified and sex abuse images and which was like, and that database and how that was algorithms a used to search computers. this season search like apple is refused to open the

front can be a back door to the encryption following cases of, of terrorism, bus 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. i think the answer is, is they are police 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 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, 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 don't to look for trigger words for other things. well, 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 they're going to hand over information to the police for 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 and investigation into the conduct of new york governor andrew cuomo is drawing to a close. he's accused of sexual harassment on the mishandling of the covert crisis

and nursing homes. he's been given an august the 13th 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 and even the president himself, a calling for him to go 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 for the governor to resign 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 public details alleging their quantity committed assaults against 11 women, including cases of touching kissing and comments. the actions are considered

a violation of both state and federal law. but this county no criminal investigation in the works. andrew cuomo in the meantime denies old allegations. well, earlier this year, the attorney general, the found, the quote administration, had quoted, attempted to hire the cobit mortality. right in nursing homes. thousands of deaths had been under reported, and that of course, if you remember, lead to a huge public outcry. but again, there's been no legal consequences for the governor to date. and we discussed the issue with a daughter of a man who died in a nursing home with the height of the covert crisis. and she's calling for law makers 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 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. the parents of brain damage to a 2 year old toddler have lost their appeal at the european court of human rights. they're trying to stop a u. k. a hospital withdrawing live support treatment for the little girl. the lawyer spoke to us. no parents would 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 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 is that 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 what other parents of our alta fixed la who are her civic jews say with joy life support goes against their religious faith. they want to take her either the israel or america for assessment and possible treatment. the u . k. hospital it says she has, she has no chance of recovery and such a journey would only bring her father 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 than actually getting into the minucci case and more discussion on that right now online at our p thought. com was also where you can investigate any stories of videos you think you may have missed. for the meantime, we're back soon with more of your saturday program. the

the the, the news i'm action return senior watching a special episode of going underground, looking at imperialism, had gemini in the history buried by the victor. exactly 232 years since the creation of the united states department of war has today the u. s u k. and israel ratchet up tensions with iran will get for 70 also exactly 31 years in for 1st american soldiers arrived in saudi arabia as part of persian gulf war one and.
