8:10 pm
. the we talked with geopolitical analysts and patrick senningson and barret brown, who was a journalist who himself was imprisoned in connection with the data leak. marty himself, over throughout the entire imprisonment, has been retaliated against 4 other particles. he's written lawsuits. he has filed against the system, we are going to be visual wardens and so forth. having done for years and said myself, there are prison. the u. s. for my activism and having written, calling from prison, i've been in prison where there wasn't a while over. i've been in prisons where, you know, i was, i was pulled off the phone. what in the course of doing an interview with the interview and put in the shoe for doing that or view and then release after
8:11 pm
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 they're just the did 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 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 and i think maybe this just really speaks to the ability of hackers
8:12 pm
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. oh, in and now a stark warning from the un. it's special envoy to afghan a stand says the country is descending into a situation of catastrophe. so serious that it would have few parallels in this century. meanwhile, the u. s. and the u. k. are urging its citizens to get out of afghanistan as the latest taliban offensive in the country sees the terror group making sweeping
8:13 pm
territorial games. 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 couldn't do it here. becoming the 3rd provincial capital 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 that city. according to reports, 14 people were killed, including women and children, and more than 30 people injured. there are scenes of destruction and conduce with buildings and 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 northern part of the country on saturday. that's despite us bombers being sent to the country to strike at taliban positions. there's also heavy fighting between security forces and the taliban in another, in another northern afghan promise of coo nor it. so it's left around $50000.00
8:14 pm
people in the region displaced. in the last 2 months, dozens of families from coon are found shelter in the local school. women and small children are making due in cramped classroom classrooms with poor living conditions . and the refugees told us about their plight. mongrel, no, hasn't we had a good life in our village? we had everything due to the fighting between security forces and the taliban. everything has been destroyed. the bottom line off, isn't the taliban detect our area? and we had to flee a village. we saved only ourselves without any belongings or clothes. and now we are living in this school building. again, this is young connection in future taliban loc, 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 2 nights, we arrived here, we spent the 1st night in the talk, then we came to the school here with ice and problems like it was. while you can
8:15 pm
see on the map here that the capital of coal is completely surrounded, either by contested areas or taliban controlled areas. with a number of attacks targeting government figures, the capital has just seen the funeral of the country's media chief. he was shot dead and arrayed on friday. the spokes person for the tower group said it had punished him for his quote, deeds claiming and had sent a special unit to carry out his assassination. his killing came days after another target taliban assault on the afghan defense ministers home and couple. we got the latest on the spiraling situation from the local reporter below, sar. 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 had also hearing from one officials in
8:16 pm
a place like condos in the hot that 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, a new one, 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 national security forces. but the worry of ordinary ones, even in a place like caldwell is quite clear. john of the americans made a bad decision because they left abruptly and paved the way for the taliban to launch in immediate attack. the taliban don't differentiate between the government and public property and infrastructure. they burned down. below. in the current
8:17 pm
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 the afghan stem. i'm going to school at one time when the americans came to the dentist on, they came to defeat terrorism. this 20 years have passed and the americans haven't defeat terrorism, said terrorism has strengthened, regional and global terrorism was turned of can. it's down into a hub of kara, i like the people of afghanistan being looted and mercilessly kill us, and public infrastructure is being destroyed. now you're seeing people standing up to the audience area as these are former northern lives leader than 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 of head 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
8:18 pm
regular for the taliban. we also assess the situation with anti war activist kennestone. the americans are continuing their bombing in order to try and hold 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 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 to come, the accusations of german police brutality protests have seen the un special
8:19 pm
repertoire on torture. say there are grounds for intervention. more on that after the break i use what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy for an taishan, 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, a very critical time time to sit down and talk rather driven by dreamers shaped by those in
8:20 pm
me. ah, who dares think me? we dare to ask me. ah ah welcome back to us recently hid its self imposed debt ceiling, but that's not stopping democrats from pushing ahead with an infrastructure package worth a trillion dollars. the senate has even silence debate on the legislation. on top of that, democrats are feeling bullish enough to ask for another spending package totaling $3.00 trillion dollars. it will all ultimately require having to increase the debt
8:21 pm
ceiling. and republicans are having none of it. if they don't get more of a say on how the money spent, if they don't need on our input, we had our help with a debt limit increase that recklessly. because he's reckless plans, you will require that ceiling limits the amount of money that the u. s. government can oh, it was reinstated last week after a 2 year suspension and then automatically recalibrated to equal the current debt level, forcing the treasury to cough up for government bills. now mark's kaiser, the host of the kaiser report told us that the u. s. has no choice, it just has to keep on borrowing money. the u. s. economy, in conjunction with most of the west, is one enormous ponzi scheme, need fresh money to keep that ponzi scheme going. if you tend to contact you understand that 0 percent interest rate and global that the g d p is over 300
8:22 pm
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 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 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've got to eliminate the idea of a stealing. and they're just simply going to say that we're going to engage and unlimited on encumbered money, print thing, and debt creation. you can't 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
8:23 pm
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 as 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, i said, you know what, we need our own system. so they're creating their own system. and special wrapper tour on torture says there are grounds for an,
8:24 pm
for an official intervention against police in berlin. it follows numerous accusations of brutality against those recently protesting the tightening of coven restriction. disturbing footage has emerged from last sunday's demonstration. the after these images of an officer throwing a woman to the ground, went viral. berlin police confirmed an investigation into suspected bodily harm had been opened. the head of the german police union told us criticism and pressure exerted on the officers may be unfair. since affordable talked 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 fast and 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
8:25 pm
but peaceful conversation of contribution 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. around 5000 people took part in anti lockdown protests and berlin last weekend with more than 600 people, arrested officers used protons and pepper spray against the demonstrators and a german lawyer. we talked to believes that the use of force was gross fetus. proportionate that's like the doors and we 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 looked, it's just an elderly lady trying to pass by the policeman. i don't think it was an extremely tempt situation which justify the police of the throwing the lady to the
8:26 pm
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 pandemic 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 should be able together 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 protestors took to the streets on front of france on saturday to vent their anger at plans for mandatory coven pappas. it is. it's the 4th weekend in a row. when such demonstrations have been held. numerous trade unions,
8:27 pm
including medical groupings, have been routing 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 governments moved were legal. we gave the mood and power moses as long as it is wrong. today, we're not talking about deprivation of social right. this is going about an attempt on human rights. we're forced to vaccinate. this is real to tele. terry news. there's other button. the coven health is divided the french people into 2 categories, going vaccinated and unvaccinated. for me, it's the beginning of the dictatorship. it is the dictatorship that the pass introduced from next week, people in france will have to show a covert passport to enter restaurants, cafes, and even hospitals, while health workers face mandatory vaccination. by next week, a seemingly perpetual series of furious rallies over the pressure to vaccinate and pandemic restrictions to saw things like this. in late july,
8:28 pm
the money to do even before demanded to a resignation was introduced. they had been more than 10000 lay offs in french hospitals, but can the local health care system afford to lose all these complete? 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 it. and those are the main highlights of this week's news. stay tuned for a repeat of the weekly and just about 30 minutes bye for now. the
8:29 pm
look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great truck rather than fear take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence real summoning the theme in a robot must protect its own existence. with the i mentioned that i saw that you know more than
8:30 pm
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, it's like i use hot running water every day. never thought about how great that is to drive the car, but they 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 that happen to me in my life. ah ah ah.
