that i've ever had happen to me, my life with awe rushes rhythmic, gymnastics team claims. there's been an injustice after the gold goes to israel, despite their athlete. dropping her ribbon during the performing a jail tacker who had supposed abusive conditions that the prison he's being held in is denied telephone access to his lawyer and his wife. friends. the move in the act of vengeance. girls present lawyer telling them that she can only like to speak to them as they have come in. the court said one whereas she's not applying that requirement to any of the other. frances rocked by protests for a 4th consecutive week as a quarter of a 1000000 people across the country vent their anger. at plans do 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 the panel of and 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? the 5 am here in the russian capital and you're watching our international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome the program. now the tokyo, the tokyo olympics may be coming to an end this weekend, but there's still plenty of action making the headlines for the 1st time since 1996,

a russian athlete has failed to win the gold in rhythmic gymnastics. that's the highest award, goes to israel, despite their athlete dropping her ribbon during the performance. we discussed the issue with the head of with the head coach of russia's team. but do you share a fla, blatant mistake, a deliberate injustice that had been premeditated as syria, sarah, committed by an israeli acid in no way prevent her from winning gold? i've never in my life made a single protest in history, not attorney 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 be 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 will be heavy favorite to when she has off 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 here 2020 has stopped that rain. a baron has gone home with the silva and now there are questions being raised as to whether she was in fact robbed. so what's the drama here? well, the thing is, is that the gymnast to beat her to gold is 22. rolled is raining noise ash from during her ribbon routine, she drops her ribbon. you can actually see and the video that although she keeps smiling like the performance she absolutely, as she knows came down that this is a fault that will most likely dash her. chances are gold medal, but no, apparently the judge has decided otherwise. because despite that serious hours,

she went on to claim fast paced by margin of not point $15.00 points leaving varina who performed a total clean performance without a single mistake with 2nd place. and by the way, making us from the only gym, nothing the history of the olympic games to win a gold despite dropping a piece of her parameters. and it's all of this combined. 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 america didn't happen. you know, the tv or the post, the revenue could you could compare this cause that is really actually because 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 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. the r a c team have had about fairness that it raised concerns about unfair scoring. and previous performance is to protest how do box being lodged post. what rejected, and of course, the wider atmosphere has to be taken into account here. the tokyo games have not been the easiest ride for russian athletes. they have seen open hostility, unintended skepticism all the time, that they have been that they've seen the media around them for even and tearing, to compete. they've had fellow sportsmen make pretty politicized gibes about doping up despite the fact that r a c. i think it's one of the most heavily tested contingents at tokyo, the satiny in light with this one has to hope that politics has not sealed a barren as a limb pick fate. but really, when you look at it with such a small point margin, with also such a serious arrow, people are such and wondering whether the judges made the right cool. sports columnist alan moore says that there's been a change in the point scale system that perhaps tip the balance back in 2016,

what we have to understand is that the gymnastics, gymnastic organizations, they change the way of scoring. so now we're not 6, you get more points, there's no ceiling on points. so the more amazing at rages 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, so labeled 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 instrument or you know, it still means you could to get ahead of the likely not the one that you perform telling. and now the continuation of our special coverage of the story of barton gods felt he's in the u. s. prison for hacking a hospitals computer system 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 gods felt recently turn to us after he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. mm. got shelves, 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 due to their coven policy. we discussed it with his wife and barret brown, the journalist, an activist who he himself was 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 in appeal

and other like just and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they can't francere voltage that bureaus. prison lawyer is telling them that she can only let him speak to them if they have upcoming court deadlines. whereas she's not applying that requirement to any of the other inmates . 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 prison, the u. s. for my activism and having written, calling from prison. i've been in prisons where there wasn't a lot, but i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone what she's doing interviews, media interviewing, been put in the shoe for doing that interview and then release after investigation

. you know, 2 weeks later, i was re arrested 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 is just the record of the u. s. saw it on this is just a mentally vile. 7 years ago, martin, god felt 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 pelletier. her mother 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 got spelled was arrested and is now serving a 10 year jail sentence at a so called communications management unit. now those units were created as part of

the war on terror and was dubbed by the media as little one ta tomatoes. all communications with the outside world are monitored and restricted while typical inmates include terrorists, those linked to piracy and the mafia. martin, god felt wife claims that his placement there is excessive and his treatment illegal. i think that's what really said 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, and likely the agency that they would have used to get just adopted into another family. remember they took the custody away from the 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 word were terrorist in the judge said, no, i 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 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 reached out to 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. the europe and court of human rights and human rights watch told us that they can't comment on the issue as r t. daniel hawkins explains. golf fells, wasn't on the 1st case, the hit headline suits, the computer fraud and abuse act came into force. and schwartz, activist and harvard research fellow was charged under the c f. a with numerous violations at 1st facing up to 35 years in jail. for downloading and releasing academic journals to make them available to all the case, drove him to suicide journalists,

matthew keys spent 2 years in prison for providing login detail us to a news website that resulted in the crime of a headline being 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 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, offense, conduct, or other verified information, require increased monitoring of communications with persons in the community. so 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 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 total unchecked power. tend to not view favorably, those who question that power and any abuses of that power. so i would say it was certainly would surprise me if he weren't needing retaliated by prison officials golf 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 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 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 cobit health passes for more public place, including bars, restaurants, and long distance transport. it's estimated around a quarter of a 1000000 people turned out. numerous trade unions including medical groupings, have been routing their members against the move. earlier in the week, people in the french capital voice, their anger on the street step to the cot countries. constitutional council rules that governments moves were legal. we gauge the mood on the streets of paris.

migration is wrong 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 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 the software dictatorship. well, 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 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 pepe. 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 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 pet, the 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 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, 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 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 certainly seem like it 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 that final destination. huge privacy concerns abound over apples plans to start scanning. i phones in the u. s. for child abuse pictures, and follows years of pressure from washington demanding increased surveillance of encrypted data. additionally, to 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 account 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 internet white opposition to the decision to start checking the private files on every iphone against a secret black list as the screeching voices of the minority. this has become a scandal to say that we are disappointed by apples plans is an understatement. apple's compromise on end to end encryption, may p government agencies in the u. s. and broad. but as a shocking about face for users who rely on the companies, leadership and privacy and security, we discuss the issues 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 what is and isn't appropriate? they'll be looking for, according to reports i've seen know already classified and sex abuse images and which was like and that database and how that was algorithms a use for searching 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 that apple is 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 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 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. cuomo has 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. ready for the governor to resign, he should be 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. as andrew cuomo denies all of the accusations. earlier this year, the attorney general found that the cuomo administration had, quote, attempted to hide the covert mortality rate in nursing homes. thousands of deaths had been under reported, which led to 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 coven crisis. she's calling for law makers to hold cuomo accountable. 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 his, in his impeachment trial. our last story for this news our over to f ganeth

stand where the taliban advance shows no signs of slowing down with the militant group claiming the capture of a 2nd provincial capital in as many as days. the strategic northern city of cher bergen was overrun on saturday afternoon with government forces retreating to the local airport. resident say the city was almost completely deserted on saturday afternoon with many locals fleeing to neighboring provinces. some of those who managed to escape shared fears about the taliban resurgence. catch it. it was done . i said on the situation said the same. it's like the taliban will seize more serious. not on the hub. the northern provinces like the city of conduce bergland. there all besieged the telephone, have advanced close to the cities. lots of people have been displaced because of the war, and they have moved to cobble. my husband wasn't the wife and our village was good . we had everything, then it was destroyed,

talbot looted our homes at the bottom of the taliban area. so we fed our village. we just managed to save ourselves. we have no belongings or close. all the afghan government has vowed to launch a counter offensive to push the militants out of shall bergen. before the fall of the city comes after the taliban took control of the south western financial hub of iran, john friday. local media claim it fell without resistance. and earlier the head of the afghan government media department that was shot dead in couple not far from the russian embassy security around the building, has since been increased all if you want the latest updates on what's going on in the canister, you can always check out our website r t dot com or follow us on twitter. i'll be back with your world news headlines and just about 30 minutes. so stay tuned. the

the didn't know what was the good them and i knew him by the can can while we're on by now i should know i should know moment a new york on mon, on the search bar on my like on them and i, you know, but i do need an initiation and much i don't know how the community i bit off more than 100 people and i mean,

i mean i saw it and they went out and my my name is the the me the me ah oh you're welcome joyce. apart from the early days of culture, humans have known that too much of anything is good for nothing. every major religion once again gluck from me and all sorts of excesses which poisoned the soul and in feeble the body. pushing before our ancestors scarcity used to take care of

that, but what are we supposed to do in this era of ever increasing abundance? well, to discuss that i am now joined by michael easter visiting lecturing journalism at the university of me by that las vegas and author all of the conference crisis. michael, it's great to talk to congratulations on the grade book. hey, thanks so much for having me on. i'm excited to chat. now let's start with it's a subtitle which tells people to quote, embrace discomfort to reclaim your wild, happy and how faith self. why does it need to be reclaim? well, i think you hit it in the beginning and the intro there, it's that we evolved in these environments of scarcity. and so we developed these drives to always do that, which was most comfortable. for example, we avoid movement. we are wired to be lazy. when we have access to food, we have incentives to over eat it on.
