the hour's top stories here when i see the russian rif make him nastic team in claims as being an injustice of the goals, goes to israel, despite their athlete. dropping her ribbon during the performance of a jail taco, to expose abusive conditions of the prison. he's being held in, it's denied telephone access to his lawyer, his wife, around to move an active vengeance bureau presidents, lawyer telling them that he can only wanting to speak to them if they have upcoming court deadline. when she's not applying the requirement to any of the other in the front, says ross by protests for a 4th consecutive week quarter of a 1000000 people all across the country,

hitting the streets opposed to this coven health side. you'll need one though, in process to get into places like bars and restaurants and public transport and also in the program for you purposely. activists take a bite out of apple over to tech john's controversial plans to thought scanning the files of users for the child born. we discussed the issue with a panel of analysts. how was 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, it is just off the midnight here at moscow. this is our international already a busy evening for you. well, by headlines. welcome to the program. the tokyo lympics may be coming to an end this weekend, but there's still plenty of action making the headlines. for the 1st time since 996,

a russian athlete has been beaten to the gold and the rhythmic gymnastics. the highest award goes to israel despite their athlete dropping her ribbon during the performance. and we discussed the issue with the head coach of rushers rhythmic gymnastics team. but do you share a fla, blatant mistake, a deliberate and just as that had been premeditated as syria sarah, committed by in israel, the assets 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 ellen picked 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 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 about what's more historically 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 ash. from 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 came 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 varina, who performed a total clean performance without a single mistake with 2nd place. and by the way, making us 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. but let the r a c team to cry foul can years the border. of course you heard me, 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 america didn't happen to be at the post the revenue. could you compare the cause that these really actually to come from 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 receipt team has had about fantasy did earlier raised concerns about unfair scoring, and previous performances to protest had in fact been lodged post. 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 seen the media around them. 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 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 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. sports columnist alan moore says, actually that's been

a change to the point scale system and perhaps tripped up the balance back in 2016, what we have to understand is that the gymnastics, gymnastic organizations, 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 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 object with dropped instant or you know, it means you could to get ahead of the likely not the one that you perform telling . so we continue with special coverage of the story of martin got his veiled. he's in us prison for hacking a hospital. he says he did that to draw attention to

a custody battle between the facility and the parents of a child being held without that consent. mister goddess failed recently turn to us here at r t. after he was denied telephone access to his lawyers, me go to spells wife says communication with his lawyer was cut off foster. he wrote an article that was published on our website in the piece. he describes cases of mistreatment at the prison. he's in your thirties, those say his phone access was limited due to that covert policy. we discussed all of this with dana got his failed, and barret brown, a journalist, an activist who was himself imprisoned in connection with a data league. they read all of his mouth, 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 had multiple attorneys who were trying to get in touch with him for meetings about strategic matters. he answered in appeal and other like

just and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they can't francere voltage 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 imprisonment, has been retaliated against 4 other articles. he's written or lawsuits. he has filed against the system against individual wardens and so forth. having done for years and said myself, there are prison, the u. s. for my activism and having written, calling from prison. i've been in prisons where there wasn't a lot, but i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone. what was going to interview media interviewing, been put in the shoe 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 north gosh, where there they just did that. the record of the us saw it on this is just a mentally vile. 7 years ago, martin got his fellow hacked, the computers of the boston childrens hospital. he wanted to expose a custody battle between the facility and the parents of 15 year old justine appellate. he a, a mother and father had been disputing her diagnosis by the doctors who had changed it from a red blood disorder to a mental condition. and that meant that the girl was an forcibly separated from her family. justina was eventually reunited with her parents softer public outcry, but mr. got spell though he was arrested. he's also having a 10 year term and a so called communications management unit. those units were actually created as

part of the war on terror. they were dubbed by the media as little one ton of most old communications with the outside world, restricted and monitored. typical inmates include terrorists, so those linked to piracy and the mafia. martin got his fellow wife claims, his placement there is excessive and his treatment illegal. 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. it's likely the agency that they would have used to get just adopted into another family. remember they took the custody away from 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 a previous prison correctional officers recognize that this is a political case. i think that's why he's in c m. u, we contacted both the judge and the adoption center, a comment. we also asked our leading rights organizations both in america and worldwide for i take the european court of human rights and human rights watch both said they can't comment. i thought is daniel holcomb style reports goes fells, wasn't the 1st case. the hit headlines suits the computer fraud and abuse. the act came into force. and schwartz, 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 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 ones. hannah mode 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 voicing concerns about the treatment of inmates. among those things in the handling 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 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, that 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 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 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 quarter past the hour here at moscow and france continues to boil over. people have been out protesting for, for the weekend straight. they're all against plans to require a covert health pass, which means you need one to go into public places like bars and restaurants and transport. it is estimated, at least a quarter of a 1000000 people turned out all across the country. and that included numerous trade unions including medical groupings that have been rallying their members against the move earlier in the week. people in the french capital voice, their anger on the street, south of the countries constitutional council ruled the government's move. it's what legal are we gauge the moods on the streets of moses,

just like this is wrong today. we're not talking about deprivation of social right . this is going about an attempt on human rights. we're forced to vaccinate. this is real to tele, terry news. there's other bus because it health is divided the french people into 2 categories, vaccinated and unvaccinated. for me, it's the beginning of the dictatorship. it is the dictatorship that the pos introduce. not a mask 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 ville, 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 your helmet and, and put on the soft pepe. so it certainly themes that they are preparing for any type 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 pepper spray being used by the police. it's all being very peaceful. those incident really came. it's those areas whereby the crowd have 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 street here in paris as well as demonstrations in around 150 other french cities, is that these people aren't happy with the proposal put forward by the french governments. and that being backed up by the constitution or council that it can be put into law, the people will have to show a coven health 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, wasted, also logged 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, anywhere. 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. if they serve a said, actually they don't really mind the coven health, possibly 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 path, 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 pass to enter 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 for about a hopper through the program here on our team till the com. an investigation into the conduct of new york. governor cuomo is approaching and even his fellow democrats, including the president, calling for him to step down that story and a few more just a month. i . i is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed what will make you feel safer.

type relation, community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows, ah. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, small business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the moon

the ah could be with us for the program here on our t. huge purposely concerns about over apples plans to start scanning us. i phones for child abuse, pictures, and photos years of pressure from washington demanding increase surveillance of encrypted data. additionally, new safety protection tools will warn children and their parents when sexually explicit photos a central received. apple will automatically scan for child abuse related material even before it's uploaded to the cloud storage service. now if cases are confirmed, the uses account is deactivated and the national center for missing and exploited children is notified. meantime, however whistleblower edward snowden is waiting on the issue ultimately 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. 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 companies, leadership and privacy and security. we discuss the issue and it's our broader implications 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 except the 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 no already classified and child abuse images and which is like and that database and algorithms are used to searching computers this season, such like apple is i refuse to open the front, can be a back door to the encryption, following cases of, of terrorism, bus murder, rapes, kidnapping, 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 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 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. 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 fact that the vast majority have not got any child sexual abuse imagery. and so they don't need to worry about that old damage is gonna be scan. where are they going to go next? well they going to look for. ready 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 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 in any event there will be sharing the information with other government agencies. so. so then now becoming an agent of the state and the investigation into the conduct of new york governor andrew cuomo is drawing to a close. he's accused of sexual harassment on the miss handling of the cobit crisis and nursing homes. cuomo has been given an august the 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 biden, the president of all cold for him to step down 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. the most important thing right now is for the governor to 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 lead during the club had committed assaults against 11 women, including cases of touching, kissing on comments or the actions are considered. a violation of both state and federal law is currently no criminal investigation in the works. andrew cuomo denies all the allegations. early this year the attorney general found, the cuomo administration had quoted, attempted to hide the covert mortality rate in nursing homes. and thousands of deaths had been under reported, which led to a public outcry. but again, there has been no legal consequences for the governor to date. and we discussed the issue with a daughter of mine who died in a nursing home with the height of the covert crisis. she's quoting for lawmakers to hold mister cuomo to account 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 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. while the just about wraps up the news program for this half hour here on off into national however, for our viewers in the u. k. if you're watching onto u. k. going undergrad will be for you. and if you're in america with all t america on contact is coming your way. thanks for joining us. oh i

i, i need to talk to someone like it would be fine. but even when i got a job, when i'm in a position where you may need to check on it for me, which mobile phone bill, and it isn't about what it was, which would be me. but it was easy. i got to know how do you think you put up with me going to be as long as it doesn't

work for you need that, is that quote. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation. 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, very political time. time to sit down and talk me the news. the

who's i'm action or tense and you're 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. today, the u. s. u k. in israel ratchet up tensions with iran will guess. the 7th is also exactly 31 years since the 1st american soldiers arrived in saudi arabia as bought a persian gulf war, one and 57 years since the passing of the gulf of tonkin resolution, which escalated doomed. washington mass killing pro vietnam to allow a combo dia, the real history of these events is often missing from textbooks and history classes in nature. nations a new volume by retire.
