[000:00:00;00] the brushes rhythmic gymnastics team claims. there's been an injustice after the gold go to israel, despite their athlete dropping her ribbon during the performance. a jailed hacker who exposed abusive conditions that the prison is being held in his denied telephone access to his lawyer. his wife friends, this an act of avenging girl's presence lawyer telling them that she can only let you speak to them as they have coming before the deadline, where she's not supplying that requirement to any of the others. it made francis rocked by protests for a 4th consecutive week as a quarter of

a 1000000 people across the country events. their anger at plans to require coven help passes for more public places like bars and restaurants and privacy activists . take a bite out of apple out over the tech giant controversial plans to start scanning the files of users for child port. we discuss the issue with a panel of adults. how are we going to be able to determine what is and isn't appropriate effectively creates a back door to, to up to 2 of those devices. where are they going to draw a line in? ah, it's 2 am here in the russian capital and you're watching r t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now the tokyo olympics may be coming to an end this weekend, but there's still plenty of action making headlines for the 1st time since 996

russian athlete has been beaten to the gold in the rhythmic and the rhythmic gymnastics portion of the highest award. goes to israel despite their athlete dropping her ribbon during the performance. and we discussed this issue with the head coach of rushes, rhythmic rhythmic gymnastics, t. but do you share a blatant mistake, a deliberate and just as that had been premeditated as syria. sarah committed bonus, railey acids 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 give them these kinds of refereeing, such as poor may not exist in darlington, family, and future may 2020 took your games have not been shown on trauma. that's for sure

. and one of the biggest upsets has come on the 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 watched how about and 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 raining, enjoy ash. from during her ribbon routine, she drops her ribbon. you can actually see the video that although she keeps smiling like the performer that she absolutely, as she knows down that this is a fault, but 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 points leaving a baron who performed a total clean performance without a single mistake with 2nd place. and by the way, making us run the only jim, nothing the history of the olympic games to win a gold despite dropping a piece of her apparatus. 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 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 1st please. i hoped, and they believed 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 caught in the preliminary rounds 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 performance. if to protest hadn't 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 even and tearing, to compete. they've had fellow sportsmen make pretty politicized, jives about doping up despite the fact that receipt, the, it's all one of the most heavily tested contingents at tokyo. the sad to me in light of with this one has to hope that politics has not sealed a barrenness olympic 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. have sports columnist, anil alan moore says there's been

a change to the point scale system that perhaps tip the balance back in 2016, what we, we have to understand is that the gymnastics, domestic organizations, the change to way of scoring. so now we're not 6, you get more points, there's no ceiling on points. so the more amazing at rage is how 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 on a boat 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 instinct or you know, it still means you can still get ahead of the likely not the one that you perform telling. and now the continuation of our special coverage of the story of martin gods felt he's in the u. s prison for hacking a hospitals computer systems,

and he says he did so to draw attention to a custody battle between the facility and the parents of a child being kept there without their consent. mister god. feld recently turned to us after he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. me got cells, wife says communication with his lawyer was cut off after he wrote an article published on our website in the p. c describes cases of mistreatment at the prison . he's currently in the authorities though say his phone access was limited to due to their coven policy. we discussed it with his wife and barret brown, journalist, and activist, who he himself was imprisoned in connection with the data week. 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, felt his, 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 him is 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 the feds myself, the prison, the u. s. for my activism and having written, calling from prison. i've been in prisons where there wasn't a lot over. i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone. what was going to interview me 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 u. s. nor gosh, where there is it. just the record of the u. s. saw it on this is a mentally vile. 7 years ago, martin gods felt hacked. the computers of boston childrens hospital. he wanted to expose a month months long custody battle between the facility and the parents of 15 year old justina pelletier. her mother and father had been disputing her diagnosis by doctors who changed it from a rare blood disorder to a mental condition and forcibly separated the teenage girl from her family. justina was eventually reunited with her parents after public outcry, but mr. gods feld was arrested and is now serving a 10 year jail sentence at a so called communications management unit. now these units were created as part of

the war on terror and were dubbed by the media as little guantanamo those. all communications with the outside world are monitored and restricted, while typical inmates include terrorists, those linked to piracy and the mafia. martin got selves, wife claims, his placement there is excessive and his treatment illegal. i think that's what really set him off. was it marty? expose his conflicts of interest in the case. judge nathaniel gordon donate to the adoption agency that often partners and has received donations from boston childrens hospital. most 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. 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 the c m u r t has contacted both the judge and the adoption center for comments. we also asked leading human rights organizations both in the u. s. and worldwide for their opinions, the europe, ian court of human rights and human rights watch told us, they cannot comment on the issue. as ortiz, daniel hawkins explains. golf fels wasn't on the 1st case headlines. 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 logging details 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, france 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 the 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 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 hassan case as, as the sort of top level. sort of case in this area. he is absolutely and political prisoner, and it's not so much about what he did. it's about what he represents and the ability of an organization to get around the powers of the state. another news people across france have been out to protest for a 4th weekend straight against plans to require cobit health passes for more public places, including bars, restaurants, and long distant transport. it's estimated that some quarter of a 1000000 people turned out. numerous trade unions including medical groupings, have been rallying their members against them. earlier in the week, people and the friends in the french capital voiced their anger on the streets after the country's constitutional court ruled,

the government moves were legal. we gauge the mood of the streets of paris measures like visitors, rooms. today we're not talking about deprivation of social right. this is about an attempt on human rights. we're forced to vaccinate. this is real to tell the terry news. but there's other, but the coven health is divided the french people into 2 categories, going vaccinated and unvaccinated. for me, it's the beginning of the software dictatorship. it is the dictatorship that the pass. 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 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 yes 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 all being very peaceful. those incidents really came. it's 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 empowers as well as demonstrations in around 100 and the other french cities is that these people are happy with the proposals 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 path 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 had to show one of these to get into cultural sites like cinema is 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 of they surveyed said, actually they don't really mind the coven health path. they're pretty much in favor of it. it is a path that we're seeing more and more across european germany. there also, they have the coven health parts. 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 on the happy about it here in front,

it does certainly seem like it's the way forward these demonstrations were the 4th week of such gatherings in from the previous weeks that had been some violence between police and demonstrators stop having materialize. this time around as the demonstration, the march here in paris is reached the final destination. coming up next, an investigation into the conduct of new york. governor cuomo is approaching and even his fellow democrats, president biden, among them, are calling for his ragged resignation. that story and more after the break. ah, ah. as we were saying shipping, all of our jobs factors to china was a bad idea. but the american people were ok with it, because although their way, cuz we're going down the stuff they were getting from china via wal mart was

cheaper than ever. okay, now the chickens have come home to roost. now, the china labor sink is finished. inflation is kicking in for real wages are going up, but not as fast as inflation is driven by drainage shaped control. so those in me who dares thing we dare to ask me.

oh, well, come back to the program. now, huge privacy concerns abound over apples plans to start scanning. i phones in the u . s. for child abuse pictures. it follows years of pressure from washington demanding increased surveillance of encrypted data. additionally, new safety protection tools will warn children and their parents when sexually explicit photos are sent or received. apple will automatically scan for child abuse related material even before it's uploaded to the cloud storage service. if cases are confirmed, the user's accounts will be deactivated and the national center for missing and exploited children will be notified. whistleblower edward snowden has waited 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 a secret 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 as a shocking about face for users who rely on the company's leadership and privacy and security, we discussed the issue and it's wider ramifications with our 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 of your 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 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 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 while they go to look for. ready trigger was all the things or the images and all the things. where are they going to draw a line in this pole is becoming a defacto agency of the government. even though they say we're 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 and or andrew cuomo is drawing to a close. he's accused of sexual harassment and the mishandling of the covert crisis in nursing homes almost 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 president biden himself have called for his resignation. governor andrew cuomo, sexually harass multiple women, and in doing so violated federal and state law. i never touched any one inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. most important thing right now is for the governor to resign. he should be 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 that cuomo had committed assaults against 11 women, including cases of unwanted touching, kissing and inappropriate comments. the actions are considered a violation of both state and federal law, but there's currently no criminal investigation planned. andrew cuomo denies all these allegations. earlier this year, the attorney general found the quote, administration had, quote, attempted to hide the covert mortality rate in nursing homes. 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. we discussed this issue with the daughter of a man who died in the nursing home at the height of the covered crisis. she's calling for law makers to hold cuomo, responsible? 15000 people died. and everybody just cares about governor cuomo, due process. governor cuomo didn't afford my father and 15000 innocent people do

processed when he signed their death warrants and sentenced them to death in nursing homes. governor cuomo shows a deprived indifference for life. it doesn't matter if it's a young girl that works in his office, or if it's an elderly person and we need to hold him accountable for all of his crimes. i put 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 2 year old toddler have lost their appeal at the european court of human rights. they're trying to stop a u. k. hospital withdrawing their life support treatment for the little girl and their lawyer spoke with us. ne periods, we want to be in this position and accomplish

by their family as a 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 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 and to a hospital all for hi repeat to a willing to look after the parents of alta fix, lar, who are has civic jews say, withdrawing her life support goes against their religious faith. they want to take her either to israel or the u. s. for assessment and possible treatment. and the u . k. 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 actively taking the case against the government because you are saying that the processes that we used were wrong and should have interest in best so 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 crohn, there's a, there's a problem here than actually getting into the many of the case. or if you'd like more details on any of those world news stories you just saw, you can always check out our website, r t dot com or follow us on twitter or any other social media platform. you like,

we'll be back with more in just about 30 minutes. so stay tuned. the, the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development only personally and get into this. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk me new gold rushes underway and gunner thousands of ill equipped workers flocking
