a computer engineer is currently serving a prison sentence in the us for hacking a hospital mountain. goats felt says he did it to draw attention to a custody battle between the facility and the parents of a child being kept without the consent. goals felt recently turn to us after he was denied telephone access to his lewis. me the sickle cells wife claims communication with his lawyer was cut off shortly after he wrote an article published the nazis website. in the face, he described cases of mistreatment of the prison where he's being held. the authorities say his lack of calls were down to changes in that over staffing policies and to his wife, those and satisfied without explanation. they read all of his mouth so they had a heads up on what was coming. they shouldn't at 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 in appeal and other legit and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they catherine fear, vault is that bureaus? prisons lawyer is telling them that she can only let him speak to them if they have upcoming court deadlines. where she's not applying that requirement to any of the other inmates. we contacted officials and leading right. so goodness ations, get that take on mr. go self case. the european court of human rights and human rights watch told us they can't comment on the issue. so let's take a look back at how the situation unfolded me. i please let me know

right now i needed the whole my family ah, in. she has been totally medically abused. ah, ah, ah, ah, finally, common sense prevails. ah, ah, i just don't know how it's really happening because it doesn't feel like it's real good to be home with bruise

the we discussed the story, the geopolitical, unless patrick heading, son and barret brown, the journalist, an activist who was himself imprisoned in connection with the day to marty himself, over throughout the entire imprisonment has been retaliated against 4 other particles. he's written lawsuits. he has filed against a system against the visual wardens and so forth. having done for years and feds myself, the prison. the us for my activism and having written, calling from prison. i've been in prison where there wasn't a lot. i've been in prison where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone, what she's doing, interview media, interviewing and putting the show for doing that interview and then release after

investigation. you know, 2 weeks later, i was re arrested the orders in 2017 for getting interviewed advice after i got out of prison. no one has been involved in activism. should be tried in the us, nor gosh, where there is it just did that. the record of the us saw it on this is a mentally vile. 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, 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, 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. ah, now lets you aim there is offering illegal immigrants. a golden handshake of 300 euros is an incentive to leave. the country comes as the baltic state bottles, a surgeon illegal, immigration along his board with bella roost. the money will be paid once the person has boarded their flight. out of lithuania, it can only be claimed once more than $4000.00 migrants. most of them from iraq

have crossed into lithuania from by the race so far this year. now it's a 50 fold increase in the total number of migrants crossing into the country in 2020 is to a near him. poland of us theater being commission to stepan. louis weekly sees water cannon against my grants, rioted over poor conditions at a detention center. if any bored or gone, say capacity to accommodate new people is a breaking point. in the suitcases, in walking straight into crisis in retaliation against this response to bella from protest in 2020 let us know was to build a wall along with border with dollars that an estimated cost of a 100000000 euros join out of the line by ron road 1st year political, unless the good afternoon to run or is it fair to say that when it comes to immigration? some countries are just departing from any kind of traditional e you approach it?

and this is another example. you know, what we see here is of course the abuse of migrants in the sense of weapons of my migration provide. kelly greenhill has called it in her study at the clear proof of yeah, consequence of your political conflict going on of a totally different kind. when you, when we hear all the stories about how much immigrants refugees of everyone, school people pay often to get traffic is to smuggle them into a country. is it likely that they're going to take a bribe of just 300 year rose to get back and well, that's not really what i thing what i would assume. even the german government pays $1000.00 euros per person for voluntary returning migrants. and in the recent studies, we have seen that a large number of those migrants returns to germany sometime later.

and yes, of course, if you pay up to $10000.00 euros to make it to the european union than $300.00 euros, it's not worth of thinking of going back. but what we see now in this case of the, my grand coming from mostly iraq and trans passing through a lot was shows that they may not come into the european union by human smugglers, but just by plane. and this is facilitated by the bella and russian government, as we can see. and therefore, yeah, it's a sign of the use of migration at a certain instrument in a geopolitical struggle. but of course, we also have to look at the situation on both sides because the european union, although went into a struggle with over the last election presidential election

to mike and sanctions putting a bill out with under pressure. and so it seems that this is just a certain kind of retaliation because it doesn't have other means to respond to anyone pulling the cold on the you've some kind of of help. surely that's what being part of a blocker. a political family is all about will be, you come to their assistance. do you think? i could imagine because the countries have similar stands on migration, the rather conservative and try to protect the borders much more and much better than other countries in the southern part of the european union. and of course, that's their right that even their duty to protect the shang and area borders. we would have needed much more protection in the southern part of the european union of those borders in the past years. and we would have needed much less of harm

being done by the european countries with the assistance of the united states in the countries of origin of those migrants, iraq, syria, libby, ags, et cetera, where the intervention military intervention regime change operation has mostly life millions of people and made them suffer a loss. have been listening to the source of geopolitical analysts run a road for rhonda, thank you. you're welcome to come for this. our ac is ations of german police brutality. a process they've seen. the un special rep will turn on to just say that there are grounds for intervention. i'll explain all after the short break the the i mentioned that i saw that you know more than

a month up in the last and ard. and when i got back, i had just totally reframed how great we now have it in modern life. so before i go up there, it's like i use hot running water everyday. never thought about upgrade, that has dr. car, but they never saw great that was don't have to go out and walk 5 miles down hill to a 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, that happen to me, my life. the join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then

in the welcome back on thursday, the is really a full stroke ground targets in southern lebanon, in response to what it called terrorist attacks coming from the neighboring territory. the worst escalation between the countries in the past decade and a half shilling came to on the grim anniversary of lebanon, exactly a year since the devastating explosion and by root claimed the lives of more than 200 people. thousands gathered in the capital to mark that tragic events. they held up pictures of the dead and demanded justice please. frontier gas demonstrate is doing it heated exchange occurring. and so the government building people are still angry about the government's failure to specify what triggered the glass and who was responsible was one of the largest non nuclear explosions history. you may find these pictures coming up the stuff in

the us human rights group, amnesty international condemned lebanese officials for quote, shamelessly, obstructing an investigation into the blood lab on this hospital was devastated by the explosion on the died while a baby was born during the very minute of the blast and one year on the child reported to be doing well. we spoke with the nurse who worked on the maternity ward on that tragic day. she told us that panic wasn't an option. there was simply too much to do. i was calling my mother about my day and i do remember my cleaning alone feeling very bad that i did not know if i was okay to be able to be kid and didn't have an idea what had what has happened. so i,

when i take my hands and i was able to say, i thought to be, you want to be where, where are they are? they are okay. i happened to babies the company in the go, they doing very well. and i went to the parents every day being admitted to it and they send me everything they how they, how they feed the training. so they doing very well. thank you or rebuilding efforts have a long way to go in the port city. they come as the country faces huge challenges from a plummeting currency. the power outages as well as medicine, a few shortages because of the most of the reconstruction works been funded privately or carried out by non governmental organizations. the only one the story property left gutted by the blast told us he's been let down by all sides of the last 3 and my house is a heritage building, but we didn't get any help from unesco or anyone else. the only people who've been

helping a one kind strange that god sent to us and recently won n g o. no one else. the government didn't help her to have given us nothing but faith promises them all. i've witness many was i was born in 1944, but i've never seen the situation so bad. everyone keeps saying we've never seen such a crime and so much damage. if there was a war, it would've been easier. at least we could have had the option to escape at times of war, we were always notified to leave our homes. but this time we were left to die. the un special rap or turn on torture, says that there are grounds for an official intervention against police in berlin. well as numerous accusations of brutality used against those recently, protesting timing of covert restrictions, disturbing footage has emerged from last sundays demonstration. the last of these images of an

officer throwing an elderly woman to the ground went viral. the police confirmed an investigation into suspected bodily harm had been opened, but the head of the german police union told us criticism pressure exerted on the officers might be infer that affordable us money. i am sure that my call exactly than accordance with the law. in addition, more than 60 police officers were injured, they clearly did not stumble but suffered during the protests. which by the way, were far from peaceful because they violated public orders. since they were banned, the police are the center of criticism in such deployments. that's something we're used to society is becoming ever more polarized politics that cultivate anything but peaceful conversation have come tribute to that, and the police on right between irreconcilable fronts that are no longer ready to engage in dialogue and all that doesn't make up police work any easier, i don't have any other opinions about this colleague say they have been under pressure and these events a lot of colleagues have been injured and that doesn't make the situation easier.

we'd like to see politics being used to calm people down on all sides by 5000 people to the parts and protests in berlin last week. and more than 600 people were arrested. officers use patents and pepper spray guys, demonstrators. a german lawyer we spoke to believes that that use of force was grossly disproportionate. that's what we've seen in this video with quite shocking, at least to me, that if you assess it from a legal perspective, you'd ask yourself if there was a threat, but from what it looks, it's just an elderly lady trying to pass by the policeman. i don't think it was next to the 10th situation which justify the police of the throwing the lady to the ground like that. if you look at the standard legal definition of a threat, it just didn't look like one of the policemen wasn't being attacked. and there was no gross disturbance of the peace and public security that lady just wanted to pass by. from a legal perspective, the officer conduct, quote, disproportionate freedom of assembly. the constitutional rights can be restricted.

for instance, in a pandemic like the one we're seeing there may be restrictions, but they shouldn't be a difference with the people have notified of their rally beforehand or not. they should be able to gather spontaneously, to those that pietro and unknown in the open in citizens shouldn't be in fear of being subjected to this kind of treatment. when going to protest and a huge show of people power. a quarter of a 1000000 protesters took to the streets of paris on saturday to vent around and go over plans for banditry, coven health passes before the weekend in a row such demonstrations of occurred. you miss trade unions including medical groups have been rallying members against the controversial passport. and earlier in the week, people in the french capital made their feelings clear. the country's constitutional council rules. governments means legal. we gave the mood in paris. most. this 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. there's a button in the covert health says divided french people into 2 categories, vaccinated and unvaccinated. for me, it's the beginning of the software dictatorship. it is the dictatorship that the pass introduced. from next week, people in france will have to show a coven passport, to inter restaurants, cafes, even hospitals. well, hopefully it is face mandatory vaccination as of next month, a series of angry rallies over the pressure to vaccinate and pandemic restrictions . so seen such as this in late july, the

money because even before the mandatory reformation was introduced, there had been more than 10000 lay offs in french hospitals. but can the local health care system afford to lose all the simply, many people now say that they want to leave their work and not only in hospitals, if you have a closer look at what's happening now, you'll see that some special is refused to comply with the vaccination order and say whatever my job, i choose to work as an independent specialist. so stop working on that event. and i wrap that up for this news. i don't, thanks for your company. stay with auntie. i'll return with more in half an hour. ah ah ah me 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 and education. my family was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school, which still it will have the strongest appeal. was driven by dreamers shaped by those with the in me thing. we dare to ask me

o me. the me are a welcome joy, depart from the early days of culture. humans have known that too much of anything is good for nothing. every major religion was give gluck to me and all sorts of excesses which poisoned the soul and enfeebled the body worship. 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, a. visiting lecturing journalism at the university of las vegas and also also the

conference crisis. michael, it's great to talk to you. 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 fate 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 and on and on. we avoid risk, but in our past environments, they are actually kind of dangerous. they no longer are. and so now that we've tipped into this world of comfort in a lot of ways, if you think about the things that most influence your daily lives are all new within.
