many people are forced to leave their homes just outside the great capital. and mass evacuations are being carried out on the nearby island of every i look at these pictures right here. hundreds of people of fleeing be in front of a mix of any boats available. on friday, the nation said he was struggling to contain more than a $150.00 wildfires. a prime minister warned that a heat wave had turned all of grief into a powder keg. also described as the worst in decades. enormous plays is causing

havoc in turkey. at least 8 people have been killed around 10000. evacuated amid extreme wildfires burning all along the coastline. a popular tourist destinations like both roman motus have been hit. one local describe the scene. there was raining ash on top of a heavy rains port. at least some relief to some few parts of the country. for the meantime, there were some surreal scenes in california this week. one town in plumas county looked like an apocalyptic hollywood movie. attend to dr. education strong winds, or the dixie fire. it's been named a rip through greenville the remains of homes and cars, burnt out, or come inside. a building stating from the gold rush area, completely destroyed along with a school gas station, church hotel and a museum. but it's not just these countries, russia as well and rushes, siberia, also being whacked by wildfires. there are large scale evacuations of villagers

with firefighters battling in the front line. a while in the russian republic of your kuta fires that blanketed large areas in a group smoke. computer engineer is currently serving a prison sentence in america for hacking a hospital. a martin got his failed, says he did that to draw attention to a custody battle between the facility and the parents of a child being held at the hospital without their consent. mr. cortez failed recently turned to us here at r t after he was denied telephone access to his lawyer. ah, mister goddess fell to wife claims communication with his lawyer was cut off shortly after he wrote an article published on our website. in the p. c described cases of mistreatment of the prison. he's in the authorities. those say his lack of phone access of what he called miss treatment was simply down to changes in that

coven policy. the activists wife isn't buying it. they read all his mail. 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 an appeal and other legit and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they catherine fear voltage that bureaus prison lawyer and it's 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 inmate. we contacted the officials and living rights organizations for the take on got his felts case, the here being called human rights and human rights watch both said they can't comment. well, just for a moment here on the program, let's take

a brief look back at how this entire situation unfolded. i please let me know right now i needed you all my family in. she has been totally medical use, finally. common sense prevail? who's i just don't know how it's really happening and it doesn't feel like it's real. i feel so good

news . the we talked with geopolitical analysts, patrick hennington, and mister byron brown, a journalist who was himself in prison in connection with a data league. marty himself over throughout the entire was imprisonment, has been retaliated against 4 other articles. he's written lawsuits. he has filed against the system against the visual wardens and so forth, having done for years in the feds myself, the prison,

the u. s. for my activism and having written columns from prison, i've been in prisons where there wasn't a lot. i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone what the course of 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 because 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. 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, 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, so it's been called a stock warning from the united nations. it's

a special envoy for us, honest on. so it's the country, it's descending into a situation of catastrophe, so serious that it would have very few parallels this century. meanwhile, the u. s. and the u. k, urging the citizens just to get out of afghanistan. and as the latest taliban offensive in the country seized the terror group making sweeping territorial, gay, in fact, after a series of rapid advances in rural areas and just the last few weeks in surgeons and now targeting the big cities we're talking about couldn't duce for toppled here up in the northern region that has just now become the 3rd provincial capital seized in the last 3 days. the taliban has taken the governor's office and police headquarters with battles still ongoing in some parts of the city. now, according to report, at least 14 people were killed, including women and children, and more than 30 others injured. there are scenes of just destruction and conduce with buildings in ruin or ablaze. on the meantime, at least $700.00 former taliban fighters were released off the group captured

another regional capital. we're talking about up here in the central northern region northwest the ship oregon region. this is a, this all went down actually on saturday in the past 24 hours. and despite us, heavy bombers being sent to the country here where they are striking so called taliban positions along the northern border of afghanistan. there's also been heavy fighting between security forces and the taliban in another northern african province that of the 2 in our province right over there, left around 50000 people in the region displaced in just the last 60 days. thousands of families from cooled off, found sheltering a local school women and children not having to make due and pretty tough conditions. and we had a chance to speak to them that husband know wasn't we had a good life in our village. we had everything but due to the fighting between security forces and the taliban, everything has been destroyed. the bottom of the wall says on the taliban detect

our area and we had to flee a village. we saved only ourselves without any belongings or clothes. now we are living in this school building in the jungle, actually the taliban block, texas all village around 2 months and was heavy fighting with leather holmes due to the fight in and out of hunger after working for tonight we arrived here. we spent the 1st night in the talk, then we came to the school. here we are facing problems. meanwhile, as we understand, the capital cobble right here is now in the taliban side. so the number of attacks targeting prominent government figures, in fact, the capital is you're seeing the funeral of the country's government media chief. he was just gun down on friday as folks posted for the tara group, so as it had punished him for his quote, de claiming it had sent a special unit to conduct the. the execution is killing came days after another targeted taliban assault on the afghan defense ministers, home and cobble. and we got the latest on the spiraling situation from local

reporter belong, saturday. the fall of going to the city where the taliban have been able to take control of most of the city as well as government buildings come in, a quick succession. the city of fall upon which is the capital of the province just next door, also fell to the taliban. and what we are also hearing from one officials in a place like condos in the hot. there are also strikes by the americans, as well as by the african government. the cause of this war for ordinary ones for businesses, is simply too much. we also heard from the tall about issuing a statement in the city of telephone, instructing its fighters not to take revenge, not to torture anyone, and not to go to people's homes. telecom is a city which was the home of former normalized leaders and commanders who fought against the taliban in the 1990 s. these are also provinces that have provided

soldiers to the african nations security forces. but the worry of ordinary ones, even in a place like call is quite clear. john of the americans made a bad decision because the left abruptly and paved the way for the taliban to launch an immediate attack. the taliban don't differentiate between the government and public property and infrastructure. they burned down. in the current situation, the withdrawal of americans is pretty very costly for us guns. the fighting has gained the ferocity. it spread with high intensity across all of our gas stem. i'm going to school at one time when the americans came to the dentist on, they came to defeat terrorism for 20 years, have passed and the americans haven't defeat the terrorism. said terrorism has strengthened, regional, and global terrorism has tons of spanish down into a hub of terror. the people of afghanistan are being looted and mercilessly kills, and public infrastructure is being destroyed. now you're seeing people standing up

to the taliban is some areas. these are former normalized leaders and commanders not necessarily only nor in other parts as well. that gets mile hahn is fighting against them. now, 4 weeks actually in the city, hit odd. as well as the african government and then the americans are carrying these strikes. but it is important to point out that urban attacks are becoming more and more regular for the taliban will. after that discussion, i also assess the situation with an anti war activist. mr. kennestone the americans are continuing their bombing in order to try and halt the taliban in advance, but it's not working. and they're trying to prop up their government in kabul. such that the taliban might find it useful and important to make a coalition. ready government with them. the important thing to remember is that for the, from the point of view of the entire world is that the reach of the u. s. empire is

shrinking. so now the u. s. m. part has failed in trying to subdue afghanistan, and they couldn't, couldn't continue. it's illegal occupation because it was unpopular from the very start with the afghan. he's and it was a violation of international law. and i was still come here on the weekly, including accusations of german police brutality, a protest. now seeing the un special rapids on torture, saying there are grounds for an intervention story. and a few more, at least for the weekly and just ah, was driven by a dreamer shaped by those with me

in me. i think we dare to ask me ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. developments only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the the, the, the

ah, it is good to have you with us for the weekly here. we're now t now but you ends special wrap. a tour on torture. says there are grounds for an official intervention against police in berlin. it follows numerous accusations of brutality against those recently protesting the tightening cobra to restrictions. a disturbing footage has emerged from last sunday's demonstration. the, these images of an officer throwing a willing to the ground went viral, left burning police confirmed an investigation into the suspected bodily harm has been opened for the head of the german police union told us criticism and pressure exerted on the officers might be unfair. since a hold of a surface man, 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 and such deployments. that's something we're used to society is becoming ever more polarized politics that cultivate anything but peaceful conversation. have come to be routed to that. and the police done 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. around 5000 people that caught him protests and berlin last weekend with more than 600 arrested . officers use backbones and pepper spray against them. one german lawyer we told to believe the use of force was grossly disproportionate. just like you do

when we seen in the video with quite shocking, at least to me, 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 or the next, really tempted to ation with 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 disproportionate freedom of assembly. the constitutional rights can be restricted. for instance, in a pandemic like the one we're seeing, there may be restriction that 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 though the peaceful, 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 protestors took the streets of france on saturday to vent their anger plans for mandatory cove and health policies. it is the 4th weekend in a row of such demonstrations being staged. now, numerous trade unions including medical groupings, have been rallying their members against the controversial possible. earlier in the weeks, people in the french capital really made their feelings clear off the countries so called constitutional counsel rule. the governments moved were legal. well, we gave reaction on the streets of the capital. because like this is wrong today, we're not talking about deprivation of social rights. when about an attempt on human rights, we're forced to vaccinate. this is real to tell terry news. there's a button. the coven health says divider 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

pass. introduce. the problem next week, people in france will have to show a coven passport to get into restaurants, bars, cafes, even hospitals, while health workers face mandatory injections by next month, a seemingly perpetual theories of furious rallies over pressure to vaccinate and pandemic restrictions to so many scenes like this in late july, the money even before demanded reformation was introduced. there had been more than 10000 lay off in french hospitals. but can the local health care system afford to lose all these ladies?

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 specialists refused to comply with the vaccination order and say, whatever of my job, i choose to work as an independent specialist, so stop working on the united states recently hit its self imposed debt ceiling. that's certainly not stopping democrats from pushing ahead with a huge infrastructure package worth a trillion dollars. the senate has even silenced any debate on this legislation. on top of that democrats feeling bullish enough to ask for another spending package totaling 3.5 trillion. it will all ultimately require having to increase the debt ceiling. and republicans having none of it, if they don't get more of a say on how the money is spent, if they don't need on our input, we are help with a debt limit increase that recklessly. as he's reckless planned for will require

that ceiling limits the amount the u. s. government can oh, it was reinstated last week after a 2 year suspension. it was automatically recalibrated for equal the current debt level, forcing the treasury to cough up for government bills. a short time ago, i spoke with max kaiser kaiser report. he told me the us has no choice. it has to keep on borrowing the u. s. economy in conjunction with most of the west is one enormous ponzi scheme that need fresh money to keep that ponzi scheme going, if you take the contacts, you understand that 0 percent interest rate and global debt to g. d. p is over 300 percent and the ability to pay back any of these loans is virtually darrow. you can understand why. now the debt in the u. s. is going to start to become hyperbolic. and this is having an interesting corollary. and that is causing

a real inflation because it's all about money printing attempting to tamp down the debt, which is causing people at the shops of the gas station. and notice that the price of living is going up per separate this way. and this is causing a real, causing a real damage in america right now. i think they're going to get to the point where they're going to eliminate the idea of it's dealing. and they're just simply going to say that we're going to engage and unlimited. and encumbered money, print thing, and debt creation, you can stop upon the game. there's only one way to this ends, and that is through a massive default. and because the us doesn't want to experience that, there's simply going to print to infinity. so the us, the us dollar becomes like that as well and all of our or other hyper inflationary currencies. and that's what we're looking at right now in the u. s. and other countries. do you think any other countries around the world are starting to scale

by from the usage of the dollar? we just have to look at the usage of the dollar global. and you notice that in the last 20 years has come down every year, every 2 years has come down. russia has completely out of the us dollar. and this, that's them up to be in an interesting situation. as you see more of cooperation with china, russia, iraq, they don't want to be involved in the dollar because the us weaponized the dollar by sanctioning by interfering and swift, the global money transfer mechanism. and by playing politics and by getting in the way. so these countries that you know what we need our own system, so they're creating their own system. so you can watch that entire discussion i had with max kaiser online at ortiz youtube channel for the meantime. the weekly returns at the top of the hour, with more highlights over the past 7 days of your worldwide headlines. ah, 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 dana here what's makes the person we give money if you don't have them when you move somebody over our country, it just once it gets me and we don't have any fighting here. we

don't make.
