[000:00:00;00] the story here when i see the russian a rhythmic gymnastics team in claims as being and justice off of the gold goes to israel. despite their utterly that tweet dropping her ribbon during the performance a jail taco who exposed abusive conditions of the prison he's in is denied telephone access to his lawyers. his wife runs the move with an accident. vengeance bureau of prisons, lawyer telling them that she can only speak to them if they have upcoming court deadline. whereas she's not applying that requirement to any of the others

in france is rocked by protests for a 4th consecutive week as a quarter of a 1000000 people across the country. vent their anger against the plans. require coven health passes for boss restaurants on transport or through the program. for you, preface the activists take a bite out of apples over the tech john's controversial plan. so it's all scanning the files of all users with child porn. and we discussed the issue with analyst 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 in the news? what it is, archie international live for moscow from a rotary to show you in the entire news team here. a very welcome to you. so the tokyo olympics may be coming to an end of the weekend,

but there's still plenty of action making that headlines for the 1st time since 1996, a russian athlete has been bay. i should have been beaten on the way to the gold this occurring in the rhythmic gymnastics. this time the highest award goes to israel, this by the athlete, dropping her ribbon during the performance. but we discussed the issue with the 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 preventive from winning gold? i've never in my life made a single protest in history, not attending 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 give them these kinds of refereeing,

such as port may not exist in their limbic family in the future. the 2020 tech, your games have not been short on trauma. that's for sure. one of the biggest upsets has come on the ultimate date and the sport of rhythmic gymnastics. now heading into the fine on sunday, 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 gold at the last 5 straight lympics 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 to beat her to gold is 22 rolled is really annoy shram. 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 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 believe until the very last, but the miracle didn't happen. you know, the tv or the post, the 70. some call you to 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 routine brilliantly and deserved her 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 fairness and it raised concerns about unfair scoring and previous performances to protest. how do 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, 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 politicized gibes about doping up despite the fact that r a c. it's all one of the most has we tested contingency at tokyo to meet in light of with this one has to hope that politics has not sealed and foreigners olympic fate. but really when you look at 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 sports columnist alan more he says, well actually that has been a change to the point scale system, and that perhaps tipped up the balance back in 2000. and 16, what we, we have to understand is that the gymnastics, domestic 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 it has been reduced to kind of like a circus. it is like kind of surface olay, but in your lympics. so the more difficulty you show you perform, i'm sorry, say tricks, but it's like the moves that you make. you get more points. it does even with object with dropped instrument or you know, it still means you can still get ahead of the likely not the one that you perform

team and this is our team to national. let's continue now with our special coverage of the story of martin got his felt he's an a u. s. 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. mister god has failed. recently turned to us saw that he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. mm. got us failed 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 of the prison. isn't the authorities though? say his phone access was limited due to the coven policy. we discussed all of this with barret brown, a journalist, an activist, who himself was in prison, a connection with a data leak and data got his 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 they're like just and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they, catherine fear voltage that bureaus, prison lawyer is 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. we're going to the visual warden's and so forth having done for years in the feds, myself, or 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 the course of doing interview interviewing and putting the show for doing that interview and then release after investigation. 2 weeks later, i was re arrested on the field. these orders in 2017 forgetting 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 the record of the u. s. saw it on this. is a mentally vile or 7 years ago mock and got us held hacked the computers of the boston childrens hospital. he wanted to expose a month long a custody battle between the facility and the parents of 15 year old justine a policy 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, which meant the girl was forcibly removed from her family or just seeing it was eventually we're united with the parents after what became a pretty severe public outcry, and mister gods failed was arrested. and he's now serving a 10 year term and

a so called communications management unit. what are these units were created as actually part of the war on terror? they were dubbed by the media as little one ton of mos old communications with the outside world, restricted and monitored. while typical inmates include a terrorist, those linked to piracy and even the mafia. a martin called his health wife claims its placement. there is excessive. his treatment illegal. i think that's what really a mock was that 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 used to get just adopted into another family. remember they took the custody away from just parents made her aware of the state. and then the next step is to get her adopted into another family. the government wanted to use the we're, we're

a terrorist in the judge said, no, i 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 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 cmu. we've contacted both the judge and the adoption center of a comment. we've also asked leading rights organizations both in america and around the world for that take the european court of human rights and human rights watch told us they can't comment on the issue. i thought he's daniel hawkins. now reports goes felts, wasn't the 1st case. they hit headlines suits the computer fraud and abuse act came into force. i don't schwartz, but 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 as 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 one's hannah mo, 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 failings and 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 you favorably, those who question that power and any abuses of that power. so i was sessions go through those case will continue to draw attention and discussion. do ends justify means should activists acting on

a 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 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 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 assange case as, as the sort of top level. that's sort of the 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 for the past, the hour here in moscow, france continues to boil over. people have been out all over the place. it's a 4th weekend straight, and they're all look and plans to require coven health, taffy's from all public places, bars, restaurants, public transport, decimated, that roughly quarter of a 1000000 people turned out. it's included numerous trade unions including medical groupings that have been rallying their members against the move and the weak people in the french capital voice,

extreme anger on the streets off to the countries constitutional council suddenly ruled. the government moved one legal well. we gave the mood on the streets of paris. message. 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. but there's other, but some of the coven health says divine to the french people to, to cancer vaccinated and unvaccinated. for me, it's the beginning of a dictatorship. it is the dictatorship that the pass. introduce. i'm 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. and next to the world famous hotel, the vill the order just went out shortly before i came on to talk to the police,

they were near by telling them to take off the the big why yes. helmets and, and put on the soft pepe. so it certainly seems that they are preparing for any type of bio 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 incidence 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 proposal put forward by the french government and being backed up by the council. traditional counsel 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 basically a q r code that says whether you've been vaccinated, what you've been vaccinated with that also logs. and he 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 past that they're pretty much in favor of it. it is a pass 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 here in front, it just certainly seemed 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. you'll become here with the program on our team investigation into the conduct of new york. governor cuomo is fast approaching even as fellow democrats, including president biden rose calling for him to step down. that story and more in about 65 seconds. ah,

i need the i use so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have is 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 time time to sit down and talk the i appreciate your joining us for the program here are not see, huge privacy concerns abound over apples plans to start scanning u. s. i phones for essentially child porn. it follows years of pressure from washington, demanding increased surveillance of encrypted data. now additionally, new safety protection tools will warn children on their parents when the sexually explicit photos are sent or received. if cases are confirmed, however, the uses account will be deactivated and the national center for missing and exploited children. notified whistleblower edward snowden has weighed in on the issue. he's condemning the tech. john's 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 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 piece 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 the issue with a panel of guests. what kind of algorithm are they going to use? that is able to scan billions of images and then segregate something that is not, let's say, a bear skin rug photo or some form of accept. i don't know what acceptable nudity is, but something that is innocence, 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 sex abuse images and which is like and that database and how those algorithms are used to search computers and such like apple as i refuse to open the front 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 an 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 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 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 going to be scan. where are they going to go next? well, they going to look for trigger was for the things or the images of all the things. where are they going to draw a line in this pole is becoming a de facto agency of the government. even though they say they're going to hand over information to the police. the 1st the will. but in any event,

they will be sharing the information with other government agencies. so. so then now becoming an agent of the state an 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 coven crisis and nursing homes across being given an august 13th deadline to provide any extra material in his defense. after which the investigative committee will decide if he has to be impeached. meantime, his friends and allies, his fellow democrats, and even the president himself, telling him to step down governor andrew cuomo, sexually harass multiple women. and in doing so violated federal and state law. i never touched any one inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. most important thing, right? now is for the governor to resign. he should 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 the chroma committed assaults against 11 women, including cases of touching kissing and comments. the actions are considered a violation of both state and federal law that is currently no criminal investigation in the planning and requirement. meantime, denies all the allocations. early this year the attorney general found the co cuomo administration had, quote, attempted to hide the covert mortality rate in nursing homes. the thousands of deaths had been under reported, which led to a public outcry. but again, there's been no legal consequences for the governor to date. but we discussed the issue with a daughter of a man who died in a nursing home with a height of the covert crisis. she's calling for lawmakers to hold quote, to account 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 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 a brain damaged 2 year old toddler have lost their appeal at the european court of human rights, trying to stop a hospital shutting off life support for the girl. we spoke to their lawyer,

they 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 good it is obviously very tricky situation. her condition has been stable for 2 years. now. we know that taking her by a transform will not be a detriment to her what we have. peace at the hospital will agree that little to can be transferred to, to israel, and to a hospital all for hi repeat to a willing to look after the parents want to take the child either to israel or america. if a possible treatment the u. k. hospital says she has no chance of recovery in 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 actually taking the case against the government because he was 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 crime. this is a problem here, but i'm actually getting into the minucci case for joining us here on athens and all that wrapped up a news program for now and for me. but my colleague don quarter here are the desk and half an hour's time with more of your weld headlines.

oh, i use me one of the worst ever nash shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little of the real last vegas where many say elected officials are controlled by
