a 1000000 people across the country events. their anger at plans to require coven health passes for more public places like bars and restaurants, and privacy activists. take a bite out of apple over the tech giant's controversial plans to start scanning the files of users for child porn. 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, ah, for i am here in the russian capital and you're watching our international. i'm your health donald quarter. welcome to the program. 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,
9:02 pm
the russian athlete has failed to win the gold in rhythmic gymnastics. the highest award goes to israel, despite their athlete dropping her ribbon during her there, the performance and we discussed the issue with the head coach of russia's team. but do you share a fla? blatant mistake, a deliberate and just as that had been premeditated syria. sarah committed bonus, railey 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 whole form 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, and darlington family in the future may 2020 take your games have not been shown on
9:03 pm
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 lympics but took her 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, enjoy 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 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,
9:04 pm
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 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 let the r a c team to cry foul can years the border? of course you heard, 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 america didn't have the post. the 70 some, could you compare the cause that these really actually 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 nice. this isn't the fast quam,
9:05 pm
the are. if the team have had about fairness that it raised concerns about unfair scoring and previous performances to protest had in fact been lodged both. what rejected and of course, the wider atmosphere has to be taken into account here. the tokyo games have not been the easiest ride for russian athletes. they have seen open hostility, unintended skepticism all the time, that they have been that they seen the media around them, but even and tearing, to compete. they've had fellow sportsmen make pretty politicized gibes about doping . that's the, despite the fact that receipt athletes, one of the most heavily tested contingents at tokyo, sat me in light of with this. one has to hope that politics has not sealed a baron as a limb. pick fate, but really when you look, it was such a small point margin with also such a serious arrow. people are such and wondering whether the judges made the right cool. sports columnist alan moore says there's been a change to the point scale system that perhaps tipped up the balance back in 2000
9:06 pm
. and 16, what we have to understand is that the gymnastics, the gymnastic organizations, the change a way of scoring. so now we're not 6, you get more points, there's no ceiling on points. so the more amazing at rages or 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 tricks. what is the moves that you make? you get more points. it does even with object with dropped instrument or you know, it means you could to 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 u. s. prison for hacking a hospitals computer systems. he said he did so to draw attention to
9:07 pm
a custody battle between the facility and the parents of a child being kept there without their consent. mister gods felt recently turn to us after he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. me got selves, wife says communication with his lawyer was cut off after he wrote an article published on our website in the pc describes cases of mistreatment at the prison. he's currently in the authorities though says say his phone access was limited due to their covert policy. we discussed it with his wife and barrett brown, a journalist, an activist who was himself imprisoned in connection with a data leak. they read all of his math, so they had a heads up on what was coming. they shouldn't at sweden 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 an appeal
9:08 pm
and other and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they catherine, sir, 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 the visual wardens and so forth. having done for years and 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 your doing interview media interview and been put in the shoe for doing that interview and then release after investigation. you
9:09 pm
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 there and it just did the record of the us saw it on this. is just a mentally vile. 7 years ago martin gods felt hacked. the computers of boston childrens hospital. you wanted to expose a months long custody battle between the facility and the parents of 15 year old justina paulette here. her mother and her and her 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. now these units were created as part of the war on terror and were dubbed by the media as little guantanamo those. all
9:10 pm
communications with the outside world are monitored and restricted, while typical inmates include terrorists, those linked to piracy and the mafia. martin got feld's 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
9:11 pm
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 leading human rights organizations both in the u. s. and worldwide for their opinions, therapy and court of human rights and human rights watch, told us that they cannot comment on the issue. as ortiz, daniel hawkins explains, goes, else wasn't. in the 1st case, the hit headlines. the computer fraud and abuse act came into force. i don't schwartz, 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 for all the case. drove him to suicide journalists, matthew keys spent 2 years in prison for providing login detail us to
9:12 pm
a news website that resulted in the crime of the headline being altered, go through actions also had consequences, though his intentions might 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, offense, 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 world has complained of being placed in solitary confinement just for voice and concerns about the treatment. have been my among those failings in the handling of code
9:13 pm
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 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 he abuses about power. so i would say it was certainly would surprise me if he weren't needing retaliated by prison. officials also case will continue to draw attention and discussion. do ends justify means should activists acting on good intentions and altruism be treated equally with
9:14 pm
korea criminals? how many broken lives? does it take the reform obsolete laws? and how much difference can the actions of one person on a mission really make the harm, should be proportionate to the sentence, not the potential harm. and increasingly, what we see, certainly in the us justice system, is this kind of trend of symbolic convictions and symbolic sentences, whereby the politicization of the justice system and the what used to be due process is become increasingly politicized. and i think we can see that in so many different cases, especially with the area of cyber crime or hacking, it seems that and i think maybe this just really speaks to the ability of hackers or hacked of ists to threaten the power structure which has become increasingly dependent on digital networks,
9:15 pm
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 covert health passes for more public places, including bars, restaurants, and long distance transport. estimated around a quarter of a 1000000 people turned out a numerous trade unions including medical groupings have been rallying their members against them. earlier in the week, people in the french capital voiced their anger on the streets after the country's constitutional council rules. the government moves were legal. we gauge the mood on the streets of paris. most cation is wrong. today, we're not talking about deprivation of social right. this is about an attempt on
9:16 pm
human rights. we're forced to vaccinate. this is real to tele, terry news. there's other button because it health has divided the french people into 2 categories, vaccinated and unvaccinated. for me, it's the beginning of the software dictatorship. it is the dictatorship that the pos 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 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 peppy. so it certainly themes that they are preparing for any type of violence with the crowd who have reached destination here in paris,
9:17 pm
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 in 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 empowers 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 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 pump 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 with. it also logs and he covert tests that you've had
9:18 pm
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 classes. 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 pass to enter 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
9:19 pm
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. 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 icloud storage service. if a cases confirmed, the user's account will be deactivated and the national center for missing and exploited children will be notified. whistleblower edward snowden has weighed in on the issue condemning the tech giant's new policy. unbelievable apple. now circulating
9:20 pm
a propaganda letter describing the internet white opposition to the decision to start checking the private files on every iphone against a secret government blacklist as the screeching voices of the minority. this has become a scandal. to say that we are disappointed by apples plans is an understatement. apples compromise on end to end encryption, may p government agencies in the u. s. and broad. but is a shocking about face for users who rely on the companies, 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 innocent, something that is not in any way nefarious. how is it going to be able to determine
9:21 pm
what is and isn't appropriate to be looking for? according to reports, i've seen no already classified and sex abuse images and which was like and that database and how that was algorithms. a used to search computers this season. search like apple is refused to open, 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
9:22 pm
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 vast majority have not got any child sexual abuse imagery, and so they don't need to worry about that. old damage is going to be scan. where are they going to go next? well, they don't to look for trigger words for other things. well, the images of all the things, where are they going to draw a line in this whole is becoming a de facto agency of the government. even though they say we're not going to hand
9:23 pm
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 and investigation into the conduct of new york governor andrew cuomo is drawing to a close. he's accused of sexual harassment in the mishandling of the covert crisis and 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 used 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 any one inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. most important thing right now is. ready for the governor to resign,
9:24 pm
you should receive 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 co mo, 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. and andrew cuomo deny all these are accusations. earlier this year the attorney general found the cuomo administration had, quote, attempted to hide the covert mortality rate in nursing homes. thousands of deaths had been on 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 the nursing home at the height of the kobe crisis. she's calling for law makers told cuomo,
9:25 pm
accountable. 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 fair 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 is his impeachment trial. the parents of brain damage 2 year old toddler have lost their appeal at the european court of human rights. they're trying to stop
9:26 pm
a u. k. hospital from withdrawing life support treatment for the little girl. their lawyer spoke to us earlier. they parents want to be in this position and they competed by their family as a community and they are keeping this parish office as best they can a bit. it is obviously a very tricky situation. her condition has been stable for 2 years. now. we know that taking her by a transport will not be a detriment to her what we have peace at the hospital will agree that little to can be transferred to, to israel, to a hospital all for hi repeat to a willing to look after the parents of alta fix, lar, who are acidic jews say, withdrawing her life support goes against their religious faith. they want to take
9:27 pm
her either to israel or the u. s. for assessment and possible treatment. the u. k. hospital says she has no chance of recovery, and that's such a journey would only bring her further pain. the far, the families 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 say, well, actually we don't, we don't crime. there's a, there's
9:28 pm
a problem here than actually getting into the minucci case. that's all for this. our stay tuned for more news and just about 30 minutes the me the new gold rushes underway, and gunner thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the goldfields, hoping to strike it. rich children are torn between gold and education. my family was very poor. i thought i would do my best to get back to school, which still will have the strongest appeal the i mentioned that i saw that you know more than a month up in the last arctic. and when i got back, i had just totally refrained how great we now have it in modern life. so before i go up there,
9:29 pm
it's like i use hot running water every day. never thought about how great that is driving carver day. never saw great. that was don't have to go out and walk 5 miles down hill the stream and bring it back up to get my water right. but after alaska, like i had to do all those things. and so when i get back into my water, my modern world and i turn on the faucet and hot running water comes out and hits my hand was like, oh my god, this is unbelievable. this is the most amazing thing that i've ever had happen to me in my life. the welcome to redact to deny this is a show are american in america covering american news are called foreign agents. by now, you probably know that the eviction moratorium, which has been going on since the beginning of the pandemic expired last week. that
9:30 pm
meant that upwards of 15 1000000 people were at risk risk of eviction. ironically that's roughly the number of houses nancy pelosi owns as the moratorium expire to congress left for vacation. and why shouldn't they? they weren't off the day, they made sure the minimum wage wasn't increased. they fought hard against universal healthcare and they allow the bombing of somalia in theory and again of this without the slightest peep, with the possible exception of senator grassley brake and wind, but hard to call that a vibrant protest. but congresswoman corey bush led in the occupation all the steps of congress to get the moratorium renewed. ultimately they did win a partial extension of the moratorium for next 60 days, which is not nearly enough, but better than nothing. oh, and after the congress people left, some protesters stayed to fight for housing for all all the time. and they were
