7:09 pm
7:10 pm
a data leak. marty himself, over throughout the entire was imprisonment, has been retaliated against 4 other particles. he's written or lawsuits. he has filed against a system against individual wardens and so forth. having done for years and said myself, that roper's in the u. s. for my activism and having written, calling from prison, i've been in prison where there wasn't a lot. i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone. what was 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 interview device after i got out of prison. no one has been involved in activism should be tried in the us, north gosh, where there is it just that the record of the us saw it on this is a mentally vile. the harm should be proportionate to the sentence,
7:11 pm
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, the 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
7:12 pm
represents and the ability of an organization to get around the powers of the state. ah, how a stark warning from the un special envoy to afghanistan says the country is descending into a situation of catastrophe, so serious that it would have few parallels in the century. meanwhile, the u. s. and the u. k. are urging their citizens to get out of afghanistan as the latest taliban offensive in the country sees the terror group making sweeping territorial gains. after a series of rapid advances in rural areas. over the past several weeks, the insurgents are now targeting big cities with the key northern town of conduce come becoming the 3rd provincial city provincial capital rather seized in the last 3 days. the taliban has taken the governor's office and police headquarters under its control with battles still going on in some parts of the city. according to
7:13 pm
reports, 14 people were killed including women and children, and more than 30 people injured. there are scenes of destruction and conduce with buildings in ruins or set a place. meanwhile, at least $700.00 former taliban fighters were released after the group captured another regional capital of ship bergen in the north of the country on saturday. that's despite us bombers being sent into the country to strike at taliban at taliban positions. there is also heavy fighting between security forces and the taliban in another. northern afghan province of coon are in slept around 50000 people in the region displaced in the last 2 months, dozens of families from who are found shelter in the local school. women and small children are making due and cramped classrooms with the poor lit, with their living conditions, being quite poor. refugees told us about their plight. money that, you know, wasn't we had a good life in our village. we had everything. but due to the fighting between
7:14 pm
security forces and the taliban, everything has been destroyed. the bottom line of all says and 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, i think in this is young initiative, taliban block, texas, all village around 2 months and was headed 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 park, then we came to the school. here we're facing problems like it was. meanwhile, the capital also is also in the taliban sites, as you can see on the map here just around our contested areas with a number of attacks targeting government figures. google has just seen the funeral of the countries media chief. he was shot dead in a raid on friday, the spokes person for the tower group said it had punished him for his quote, deeds claiming it had sent a special units to carry out the assassination. his killing came days after another
7:15 pm
targeted taliban assault on the afghan defense ministers home in couple. we got the latest on the spiraling situation from local reporter bill, all star worry. the fall of condos city where the taliban have been able to take control of most of the city as well as government buildings come in. quick succession. the city of title upon which is the capital of our 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. title cotton is a city which was the home or former normalized leaders and commanders who fought
7:16 pm
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 cobble, is quite clear. john of the americans made a bad decision because they 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 below. in the current situation, the withdrawal of americans is pretty very costly for us guns. the fighting has gained and ferocity. it spread with high intensity across all of afghan. i'm going to go from when the americans came to the dentist on, they came to defeat terrorism, but 20 years have passed and the americans haven't defeat the terrorism. instead, terrorism has strengthened regional and global terrorism was turned to finish down into a hub of terror. the people of afghanistan are being looted and mercilessly kills,
7:17 pm
and public infrastructure is being destroyed. now you're seeing, you know, people standing up to the taliban is some areas. these are former normalized leaders and commanders. not necessarily only in north, 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. we also assess the situation with anti war activist 10 stone. 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
7:18 pm
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 try to subdue afghanistan, and they couldn't, couldn't continue. it's illegal occupation because it was unpopular from the very start with the guy and he's, and it was a violation of international law. still the com accusations of german police brutality and protests have seen the un special wrap, a tour on torture. say there are grounds for intervention for on that after the break. ah ah
7:19 pm
7:20 pm
the welcome back. now the us recently hit its self imposed debt ceiling, but that's not stopping democrats from pushing ahead with an infrastructure package worth for one trillion dollars. the senate has even silence debate on the legislation. on top of that, the democrats are feeling confident enough to ask for another spending package totaling 3.5 trillion, and will ultimately require an increase to the debt ceiling. and republicans are having none of it. if they don't get to more of a say on how the money spent, if they don't need on our input, we are help with a debt limit increase that wrecked actually. as he is reckless plans, you will require the debt ceiling limits the amount that the u. s. government can
7:21 pm
oh it was reinstated last week after a 2 year suspension. it was automatically recalibrated to equal the current debt level, forcing the treasury to cough up for government bills. max kaiser, host of the kaiser report told us the u. s. has no choice. just has to keep on borrowing b u. s. economy in conjunction with most of the west is one enormous ponzi scheme, need fresh money to keep the ponzi scheme going. if you take the contact from, you understand that 0 percent interest rate and global that the g d p is over 300 percent and the ability to pay back any of these loans is berkeley 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 all that money printing attempting to tamp down the debt, which is causing people at the shops of the gas station. and notice that the price
7:22 pm
of living is going up, precipitate 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've got to eliminate the idea of its dealing. and they're just simply going to say that we're going to engage and unlimited on encumbered money printing and dec 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 are 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 assess
7:23 pm
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's, that you know, what we need our own system. so they're creating their own system. un special repertoire on torture says that there are grounds for an official intervention against the police in berlin. it follows numerous accusations of brutality against those recently protesting the tightening of coven restrictions. disturbing footage has emerged from last sundays demonstration. the after these images of an officer throwing a woman to the ground when viral berlin, police confirmed an investigation into suspected bodily harm had been opened. but the head of the german police union told us criticism and pressure exerted on the
7:24 pm
officers may be unfair. affordable took this money. i am sure that my colleagues acted in 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 to, to that. and the police turn right between irreconcilable fronts that are no longer ready to engage in dialogue and all that doesn't make our 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. which for on 5000 people took part in anti locked down protests in berlin last weekend with more
7:25 pm
than 600 arrested officers used baton and peppers fray against the demonstrators and a german lawyer we talk to believe the use of force was grossly disproportionate. that's what we've seen in the video is quite shocking, at least to me, that if you assess it from a legal perspective, you'd ask yourself if there were the threats, but from what it looked, it's just an elderly lady trying to pass by the policeman. i don't think it was an extremely tense situation, which just before 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 officers conduct, quote, disproportionate freedom of assembly. the constitutional rights can be restricted. for instance, in a panoramic like the one we're seeing, there may be restrictions, but they shouldn't be a difference where the people have notified of their rally beforehand or not. they
7:26 pm
should be able to gather spontaneously, to that pietro and unknown in the open in citizens shouldn't be inferior be 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 france on saturday to vent their anger at plans for mandatory cobra health passes. it's the 4th weekend in a row. such demonstrations have been held. numerous trade unions, including medical groupings, have been rallying their members against the controversial passport. earlier in the week, people in the french capital made their feelings clear after the country's constitutional council rules that the government's moves were legal. we gauge the mood and power message. 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 tele. terry news. there's other bus. the coven health is divided the french people into 2 categories,
7:27 pm
vaccinated and unvaccinated. for me, it's the beginning of the dictatorship. it is the dictatorship that the pos introduce. from next week, people in france will have to show a covert passport to enter restaurants, cafes, and even hospitals, while healthy workers face mandatory vaccinations. by next month, a seemingly perpetual series of furious rallies over the pressure to vaccinate and pandemic pandemic restrictions to saw seems like this. in late july. the even before the mandatory reformation was introduced, there had been more than 10000 lay offs in french hospitals. but can the local
7:28 pm
health care system afford to lose all this employee? 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, you know, thanks for watching the weekly on our t international. we'll be back with more in just about 30 minutes. so stay tuned. the ah ah, ah.
