passes for more public places like bars and restaurants and privacy activists. take a bite out of apple over the tech giant controversial plans to start scanning the files of users for 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 wherever they go to draw a line into this. i 3 am here in the russian capital and you're watching r t international. i am 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 1996 or russian athlete has failed to win the gold in rhythmic gymnastics. the highest

award goes to israel, despite their athlete dropping her ribbon during the performance. we discussed the issue with the head coach of russia's team. where do you share a fla? 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 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 took your games have not been short 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 her belt. what's more historically watching, how about dominated this sport, winning bold at the last 5 straight olympics, but took her 2020 has stopped that rain. a baron has gone home with soba 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 performer that 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 on, by the way, making us from the only tim, nothing the history of the olympic games to win a gold despite dropping a piece of her parameters. and it's all of this combined. that's lead the r a c team to cry foul can years 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 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 qualm, the receipt team has had about fairness and it earlier raised concerns about unfair

scoring. and previous performance is to protest having facts being lodged both what rejected and of course, the wider atmosphere has to be taken into account here. the tokyo games have not been the easiest to bride for russian athletes. they have seen open hostility, unintended skepticism all the time that they have been that they seen the media around them even and tearing, to compete. they've had fellow sportsmen make pretty politicize jives about doping up despite the fact that r a c, it's all one of the most heavily tested contingents at tokyo, sat me in light with this. one has to hope that politics has not sealed a barrenness olympic fate. but really, when you look at it with such a small point margin, with also such a serious arrow, people are such and wondering whether the judge has made the right cool. sports columnist alan moore says there's been a change to the point scale system that perhaps tip the balance back in 2000. and 16, what 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 he has been reduced to kind of like a circus. it is like kind of surface ole, but in your lympics. so the more difficult you show you perform on, i'm sorry, say tricks, but it's like the moves that you make. you get more points. it does even with the object with dropped instrument or you know, it means you can still get ahead of the clean, the one that you perform telling. and now the continuation of our special coverage of the story of martin gods felt he's in a us prison for hacking a hospitals computer systems. 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,

felt recently returned recently turn to us after he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. me got childs wife says communication with his lawyer was cut off after he wrote an article published on our website and the piece he describes cases of mistreatment the prison. he's currently in the authorities though say his phone access was limited due to their coven policy. we discussed it with his wife and barret brown, a journalist, and activist who was himself imprisoned in connection with a data leak. they read all of his mouth, so they had a heads up on what was coming. they shouldn't, it's legal privilege ma'am, 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 a coming 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 the visual wardens and so forth, having done for years and the feds myself. the ropers in 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 the interview and been put in the shoe for doing that interview and then release after investigation. you know, 2 weeks later, i was re arrested of the field,

these orders in 2017 for getting interview advice. after i got out of prison. no one has been involved in activism. should be tried in the us, north gosh, where they're just the record of the u. s. saw it on this is just a mentally vile. 7 years ago martin got to spelled hacked the computers of boston childrens hospital. he wanted to expose a months long custody battle between the facility and the parents of 15 year old justina paulette. here. 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 mister god feld was arrested and is now serving a 10 year jail sentence at a so called communications management unit. those 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's got martin got selves, wife claims his placement there is excessive and his treatment illegal. i think that's what really said mom was at marty. expose his conflicts of interest in the case. judge. nathaniel gordon donate to the adoption agency that often partners and has received donations from boston childrens hospital. and 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, we did 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 cmu. we've contacted both the judge and the adoption center for comment. we also asked to 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, goes fells, wasn't the 1st case, hit headlines suits 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 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, 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 have been life among those failings in the hiring 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 then the abuses of that power. so i would say it was certainly would surprise me if he were 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 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. people across france have been out to protest for a 4th weekend, straight against plans to require coban health passes for more public places, including bars, restaurants, and long distance transport. it's estimated around a quarter of a 1000000 people turned out a numerous trade unions including medical groupings, have been rallying their members against the moon. earlier in the week, people in the french capital voice, their anger on the streets after the country's constitutional court ruled, the government moves were legal. we gauged the mood on the streets of paris. but that's not, it gives you the rooms 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. as all, there's other than 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 pos introduce. i'm not a masking site 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. they 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 re, 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 incidents really came at those areas whereby the crowd to move in a direction at the police wanted to go in the crowd, didn't want to go into that direction. and the police made sure that they went in the direction the police wanted them to go in. but the reason these people have been out on the streets here in paris as well as demonstrations in around 150 other french cities, is that these people aren't happy with the proposals put forward by the french government. and that being backed up by the concentration of council that it can be put into law, the people will have to show a coven health path in order to enter things like balls, restaurants, cafes, as well as go on long distance train journeys as well. what this covert puffs is, is basically a q r code that says whether you've been vaccinated, what you've been vaccinated with it also logs and covert tests that you've had carried out. now it already was the law that you have to show one of these to get

into cultural sites like cinema museums and galleries anyway. but there would be more than 50 people now it's being expanded out, so it'll include much more locations on the health possible really be a part of people's life here in front. they would see those people not happy with it. it's worth pointing out. they are in the minority when it comes to the french population, over half of they surveyed said, actually they don't really mind the cobra health class that they're pretty much in favor of it. it is a path that we're seeing more and more across european germany. there also, they have the coven health pops. they're looking to make it, perhaps more used in more locations in italy as well, from just friday. they've said that you're going to need that pastor and a whole load of different areas. so while these people particularly happy about it here in front, it does serve 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 materialized this time around. as the demonstration, the march here in paris is reached that final destination. coming up next, an investigation into the conduct of new york governor cuomo is approaching. and even if the fellow democrats, president biden, among them, are calling for his resignation at story and more after this short break ah ah ah ah ah ah,

ah, will i so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. 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 welcome back to the program. now, huge privacy concerns abound over apples plans to start scanning. i phones in the

united states for child abuse pictures. it follows years. the 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 materials even before it's uploaded to the icloud storage device. if a cases confirmed, the user's account will be activated 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 internet white opposition to the decision to start checking the private files on every iphone against the 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 uses, have relied 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 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 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 abuse images and which is like and that database and how those algorithms are used to searching

computers. this season, such like apple has refused to open, effectively 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 fact that you have not got any child sexual abuse imagery, and so they don't need to worry about that. old damage is going to be scan. where are they going to go next? well, they don't to look for the trigger, was the things or the images of all the things. where are they going to draw a line in this whole is becoming a de facto agency of the government. even though they say we're not going to hand over information to the police for the will, but, 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 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 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's to be impeached, his fellow democrats and even us president joe 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 anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. most important thing right now is for the governor to resign. i think you should the people of new york, is there a better leadership in the governor's office? we continue to believe that the governor should resign. on tuesday, the new york state attorney general published details alleging that cuomo had committed assaults against 11 women, including 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 of the allegations. earlier this year, the attorney general found the cuomo administration had, quote, attempted to hide the coven 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 the issue with the daughter of a man who died in a nursing home at the height of the covert crisis. she's calling for law makers to hold cuomo, responsible? 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 his in his impeachment trial. that's all for this our join us again and just about 30 minutes for more world news. oh, the german adrian shaped by those vision in

me. i think we dare to ask me. ah, a new gold rush is underway, and gunner thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the goldfields, hoping to strike it. rich children are torn between gold education. my family was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school, which still will have the strongest appeal. join me every 1st day on the alex summon show, and i'll be speaking to guests in the world. the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me

sexual foster just last time at all. it's not always a 5 year up with ambush. the night checks out the the good, you know, mean we just would you cash or vision, composure else? not through which kind of re another bunch of probably going, but he crossed emergency much the the post on that or you saw storm less your mac. you mean we at the when you buy he day

and you mean you proper stick excel. he has 10 of his very own lions. you save them from death a few years ago. and recently he decided to talk about them on his youtube channel . the aspiring youtube bloggers, toughest job, is sneaking a chair into the enclosure. she has much more news. i'm yet, but here's the chairman's tradition of all the news with the heart and then you thought it was you cold t g u haul store some really close to the store, which is the new york condition was off. it was all.
