to, to, to free our article in our accounts and, and now we have people in, in the roof because somebody called me from a turkey to the united states and russia to italy. devastating wildfires are raging throughout the world in greece. this week, 2 people were killed and surging, fires me the

many people were forced to leave their homes outside. the green capital, massive accusations are being carried out on the nearby island of via, with hundreds of people fleeing the inferno via boats. on friday the nation said it was struggling to contain more than $150.00 wildfires. while the prime minister has warned that a heat wave had turned grease into a powder cake. described as the worst in decades. massive blazes are causing havoc in turkey as well. at least 8 people have been killed and around. $10000.00 evacuated amid extreme wild fires burning across the coastline. popular tourist destinations like bo drum and the mar morris have been hit on local. describe the

scene as raining ashes on saturday, the heavy rains brought at least some relief to the country. there were also some surreal scenes in california. this week one town employed county looked like an apocalyptic hollywood movie tinder. dr. agitation and strong winds the dixie fire as its being named tor, through greenville the remains of homes and abandoned cars. totally burnt out. there are a common sight. buildings dating back to the gold rush era were completely destroyed along with a school gas station. church hotel at the museum and russia. siberia has also been hit hard by massive wildfires. there were large scale evacuations of villages with firefighters battling the infer notes while in russia in the russian republic of your kuta fires blanketed large areas with thick smoke.

the computer engineers currently serving a prison sentence in the united states for hacking a hospitals computer network. martin gods felt says he did that to draw attention to a custody battle between the facility and the parents of a child being kept there without their consent. mister gods feld recently turned to us after he was denied telephone access to his lawyers. me, mister gods tells wife claims communication with his lawyer was cut short shortly. court cut off shortly after he wrote an article published on our website. in the p . c describes cases of miss treatment at the prison in which he is being held. the authorities though say his lack of phone access or miss treatment, were simply down to changes in their covert policies. the actress wife doesn't by that explanation. they read all his mail. so they had a heads up on what was coming. they shouldn't, it's 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 they're like just and other stuff in court and they just can't reach him. they're telling him that they, catherine sir veldt his that bureaus prison 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 human rights organizations for their take on mister gods feld, case european court of human rights and human rights watch both told us that they can't comment on the issue. let's take a look at now at the situation and how it unfolded me. i please let me know right now i

needed you all my family ah, in she has been totally medically, abuse, finally common sense prevails. ah, i just don't know how this really happened. it doesn't feel like it's, it's real. i feel so good to be home with bruise

the we spoke with geopolitical analyst, patrick kenning, son and barret brown, who is a journalist who he, himself was imprisoned in connection with a data leak. marty himself, over throughout the entire was 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 fed myself the prison, 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 in the course of doing interview with the

interview and been put in the shoe for doing that or view 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 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 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 that he is absolutely and 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, i and now a stark warning from the united nation special envoy to afghanistan says the country is descending into a catastrophic situation so serious that it would have few parallels in this 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 induce 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 battle still going on in some parts of the city. according to reports, 14 people were killed, including women and children, and more than 30 people were injured. here are scenes of destruction and conduce with buildings in ruins or set ablaze. 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 positions. there is also heavy fighting between security forces and the taliban in

the, in another northern province of coon. or as you can see there, it's left around 50000 people in the region displaced in the last 2 months. and now dozens of families from coon are found shelter in a local school. just recently. women and small children are making do and career in cramped classrooms. with poor living conditions, the refugees told us about their plight. mongrel that has, you know, wasn't we had a good life in our village. we had everything we do to the fighting between security forces and the taliban. everything has been destroyed. the bottom line that all says on the taliban detect our area and we had to flee village. we saved only ourselves without any belongings or clothes. now we are living in this school building. i think in the jungle initiative taliban block, texas all village around 2 months and was heavy fighting with leather homes due to the fight in and out of hunger after working for tonight we arrived here so we

spent the 1st night in the talk. then we came to this cool thing here with ice and problems like it was, you know, as you can see on the map here, the capital is entirely and circled either by contested or taliban controlled territory with a number of attacks targeting government figures taking place over recent days couple was just seen the funeral of the country's media chief. he was shot dead in a raid on friday. as focused person for the tower group said it had punished him for his quote, deeds claiming it had sent a special unit to carry out the assassination is killing came days after another targeted taliban assault on the afghan defense ministers home in couple. we've got the latest on the spiraling situation from a local reporter named 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. and 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 or 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 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. in the current situation, the withdrawal of americans is pretty very costly for us guns. the fighting has gained ferocity. it spread with high intensity across all of afghan. i'm going to school at one time 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 has turned of can. it's down into a hub of kara, the people of afghanistan being looted and mercilessly kills, and public infrastructure is being destroyed. now you're seeing people standing up to the taliban is area as 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 said jeff, 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 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 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 and us recently hit its self imposed debt ceiling

. but that's not stopping democrats from pushing ahead with an infrastructure package worth one trillion dollars. the senate has even silence debate on the legislation. on top of that, democrats are feeling confident enough to ask for another spending package totaling $3.00 trillion dollars. it will alternately require having to increase the debt ceiling once again, 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, when we had our help with a debt limit, increase that recklessly as he is reckless plans, you will require the debt ceiling limits, the amount of money that the u. s. government can oh, it was reinstated last year after a 2 year suspension and then 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 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 that need fresh money to keep a ponzi scheme going, if he said to contact, you understand that 0 percent interest rate and global that the gdp 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 them is dead, 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, printing, 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 are simply going to print to infinity. so the us, the us dollar becomes like that as well and all of our, our 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 have said, you know what, we need our own system. so they're creating their own system. and special repertoire 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 of covered restrictions. serving 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. consider phone of this month. i am sure that my colleagues isn't 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 contributed 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 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. around 5000 people took part an anti locked down protests in berlin over the over last weekend, with more than 600 arrested officers used protons and pepper spray against the demonstrators. and the german lawyer told us that he believes that the use of force was grossly disproportionate. just like the doors and we've seen in this video is

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 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. and from a legal perspective, the opposite conduct, quote, disproportionate freedom of assembly, the constitutional rights can be restricted. for instance, in a pan, they make 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 continuously to 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 france on saturday to vent their anger at plans for mandatory cove. it help pass it is the 4th weekend in a row that such demonstrations have taken place. numerous trade unions, including medical groupings, have been rolling their members against the controversial passports earlier in the week. people in the french capital made their feelings clear. after the country's constitutional council rules, the governments move legal regains the mood on the street tatters. was that there's no, there's no room 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 tell terry news. there's other button because it helps says divided french people to going vaccinated and unvaccinated. for me, it's the beginning of the dictatorship. it is the dictatorship that the pass

from next week, people in france will have to show a covert passport to, to restaurants, cafes, and even hospitals, while health workers face mandatory vaccination by next month, a seemingly perpetual series of furious rallies over the pressure to vaccinate. and pandemic restrictions as well. so seems like this in late july the money didn't even before demanded to a resignation was introduced. they had been more than 10000 lay off 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 my job i choose to work as an independent specialist, so stop working on, you know, watching the weekly on our international will be back with more in just about 30 minutes. so stay tuned. the ah, the ah, ah,

the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interest. while you see in this, these techniques is the state devising message to end to essentially destroy personality of an individual lifetime. means this is how one doctors, theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against the prisoners deemed a danger to the state. that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation, psychological torture, disseminated within the us intelligence community, and worldwide among allies for the next 30 years. send out the victim, say they still, with the consequences today. the,

the, the news i'm action returns you were getting on the rad, exposing the corruption of the rich and powerful coming up in the show who is the aggressor after israel allegedly attacked syria, iraq and lebanon, britain and the u. s. accused run of terrorism. we speak to ca, whistleblower jeffrey stern and convicted, revealing time time plot against iran and ahead of a t u in somebody's own food in a so called decades of action. we are losing one of our 5 a day to corporate interest when it comes to global food security. we speak to the woman who is both president of a bill gates, finance, food program, and envoy for un secretary general. and so you get some more coming up in today's

going underground. but 1st, while israel arguably continues to define, to national law, accused of war crimes, major media and bars, johnson's government is vowing a response to iran for crimes. the islamic republic denies all this as x, and i say drone whistleblower daniel hale. he sentenced 2 years in jail. the 1st major espionage act conviction in the us under president joe biden. joining me now from st. louis in missouri is a ca, whistleblower convicted. the revealing us steady tricks against iran, jeffrey sterling, author of unwanted spy. jeffrey, thanks so much for coming back on. i should just say before we get to daniel hale, we bought johnson. it's his word against the president raising runs the word about what happened in the gulf of amman, in the, in the persian gulf. i mean, how, how much should we trust the authorities when they talk about iran, given your experience to see a dirty tricks against the country?

i think you should question anything.
