julia sanchez case is back before the high court in london and a pale file. but the united states is being heard against the refusal by a british judge to expedite the wiki lakes found the decision to hear america's appeal has drawn anger across the board. support has gathered outside the court to protest what they believe to be an unjust appeal. and say to case that you'd never been opened in the 1st place. i'll t spoke to british, i'm paying for my labor party to jeremy kobus, asked the demonstration under threat to his confession, dominican what he, what he's also for is the threats of example was youth corporation, huge control of most media, television, radio and french media. and they become a pension on jen this behavior on

cutie region in the far east of the country. thick smoke has covered nearby cities and reportedly reached as far as the north pole. for the 1st time, volunteers, fire fighters, heavy machinery, and able forces are all involved in trying to extinguish the flames. and it's heavy, exhausting work is our team. dmitri polk discovered when he joined one helicopter cru heading to the front line. so i'm about to take my 1st helicopter right before a better reason. we're going to take a look over the fires of the region, just north of the capital. of course, we're going to see how bad situation is because right now the fires are threatening several villages. we will see just how about it is and deliver supplies to the people on the ground fighting it and well take off. this isn't scary at all.

on the way to the village of the views were stunning, but the closer we got to the village day became somewhat terrifying. first, it's clear skies in an endless horizon. and just moments later, it's a wall of smoke. soon as we land, we see a whole bunch of heavy machinery. mister defense has a lot of military equipment, vehicles, and trucks and everything to this region because it's the most under threat right now from the flyers. armored personnel carriers, a couple of heavy duty diggers and several trucks. their purpose to create a mineralized zone there which the fire will not be able to pass, but no less important. are the human reinforcements, fearless, volunteers, and professional firefighters. they too are getting ready to head out to battle the fires. we, on the other hand are moving on. we travel to a nearby field where 2 trucks full of firefighters are having difficulties getting

through the dense forest fires. so we lend them our helicopter right now and taking all the stuff out of all these firefighters that have been deployed here to help with the efforts. by the way, these are 40 firefighters that traveled all the way from the other side of russia, from cordelia mormons, car, hunger. they who have battled wildfires in their home regions this summer. but now that they have finished the job at home, they've traveled to recruit yet to aid their fellow colleagues. and there they go to the front line of the seemingly endless battle. we came from more months to help the region. we will work to extinguish the fires, we will do everything we can when we go back to your goods. and on the way we are once again reminded of just how chaotic situation is with the several more fires and even a new one apparently as we circle around it and the fire watchers note as location on their maps. all in all,

not bad for my 1st helicopter flight or russia isn't the only country battling wildfires right now fall into some fire fighters increase are also still fighting the flames there. and this drone of footage shows the extent of the damage caused by fire in recent days. thousands have been evacuated from the region in the greek prime ministers apologize saying they've done everything humanly possible, but that it wasn't enough. he also described the situation as a natural disaster of unprecedented proportions. almost 600 wildfires burning across the country right now. and several european states been dropped into hell. greece battle the flames. i gave them an evaluation order was sent to move or should we do just get the pin go. we can't. if we don't save our houses, who will? they're doing nothing. today is the 4th day and there are no aircraft yesterday. they only carried out to water drums that gather the local people, save the place to rest with little children left of course, but we are not leaving. even if the fire reaches to see we will not leave our

village. we will stay for as long as we can and do whatever we can do. we're going to stay here and try to save our place. we need to stay strong for our children or the other. so it's one of the most infamous symbols, since the vietnam war agents all ridge, the highly toxic herbicide, anti foley, and teased by the us military and campaign, the chemical course of suffering, of hundreds of thousands of people and the lasting effects of even being passed down across generations, and just a warning that you might find the next images upsetting me. ah, the news. i was born in

1975 and i was missing both of my arms that the elbow down and my left leg from the knee down. and the hospital that i was born in had never seen anything like that before. so they weren't sure if i was going to live or die. so immediately after i was born, they took me from my mom and flew me to denver colorado. and put me in childrens hospital and put me in the incubator with all kinds of needles and monitors and stuff to make sure that everything was going to be okay. and it's made my life pretty difficult growing up because i had to adjust to everything. the us government doesn't accept responsibility for the damage done by the agent orange. it states that there's no scientific evidence linking the toxic substance to adverse health effects found in vietnam. now the southern veteran john josh kelly, who we just heard from the told us of his deep frustration that leaders won't accept their role in the suffering if my mom would have been the veteran,

my disability would be a 100 percent covered by the v a. and they would take full responsibility for it, but since it was my dad, they said that there is no way that it could've affected me. i'm not sure why they won't take responsibility, but as it is right now, over 8000000 people have died from the effects of agent orange. and there's countless numbers of people born that were disfigured and deformed and they have cancer, tumors, and just a list of so many different birth, the facts that you can't even really name them all because it's just so many or johnson found himself in the firing line. off the downing street spent nearly a 100000 pounds on to paintings for the british prime ministers, official london residence, leverage purchases come after the government approved a 20 pound a week, cut to the universal credit benefit system, which was intended to support low income families during the pandemic is also on

top of a pe freeze for teachers and police officers, as well as the payroll of only 3 percent. for those covered in battle health care workers position had a field day the prime minister spending priorities. it's always about himself as this government cuts universal credit and freezes, frontline nurse police pay. johnson has found more money to treat himself again, and it is in desperate need of funding on the pay rise in order to be able to recruit and retain staff and catch up with the enormous backlog of work. so i, i think the issue about the paintings is something covered irrelevant. my understanding is it's largely paid for through public money rather than donors. as the government has suggested, that government is going back down stairs at the root. whereas at the beginning of the coven, we were able to see that when money was needed,

it could be found. and in fact, the treasury came up with a lot of money and its initial time efforts to help the n h s. response of the crisis. and now it wanted to turn the top off again, was the 1st time that the british piano found himself in trouble for his expensive home improvement. earlier this year, he faced questions about how pricey downing street renovation were paid for back then probe concluded that he'd acted quote wisely, but he didn't break the ministerial code. this time the purchase was justified, as the paintings in question were paid for with a dedicated fund. the government ought collection, helps to promote the creativity of british art and culture. it acquired new works after consulting and securing the approval of an independent expert panel and the majority of funding for acquisitions comes from philanthropic sources, not taxpayer money. we spoke to a former head of wanting to health service trust,

who told us that the timing of this latest scandal couldn't have been with i think is a very poor decision on this occasion. i think there are 2 reasons why bad judgment . firstly, we've just recently gone through a pay or a pay round without nursing stuff where the, the government have been pretty mean in the way that they've approached it. and secondly, of course is the overall economic situation. so whether or not these are good paintings and whether or not that good value for money is not as important as what does it look like? what do people think when they see the economy is not very good. we've just denied frontline and h. s staff, a decent pay rise, and the prime ministers hanging to expensive paintings in the sitting room. number 10, a chest looks, but there's still plenty ahead. the pentagon's, apparently been pressuring hollywood movie makers in portraying the us military and

a favorable lights, according to nearly obtained documents, will take you through the blockbuster plus after the break. ah, the ah, me. what we've got to do is identify the

threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk me ah ah, the pentagon has been routinely bullying hollywood movie makers inter portraying the us military and a favorable life according to nearly obtained documents. it also often demand script headaches, with one tv series even getting a wings clipped by the u. s. top ross has constantly rose calling out report propaganda on the silver screen. so the d o. d 's been waging war. the creative

freedom is the script writers and directors, perhaps the most blatant cases, the 200-1900 c b s. trauma. serious the code about marine corps lawyers which was canceled soon after release got back. we're headed to the as it turns out, the military saw the 1st after i was before they went on air and was upset about his story line showing a marine turn congress magic. he's the brutally executed and iraqi civilian and another service man who killed a spanish citizen while drunk driving. marine corps leadership was apparently provided advance copies of several of the episodes and was displeased enough that they communicated what they sore serious shortcomings in the depiction of the marines. cbs television has indicated a desire to correct the problems in future episodes by accepting deer de assistance as a 1000 pentagon's official web page. the department has a long standing relationship with hollywood. what it keeps quiet about is how many trade offs it costs to film in community. remember,

homeland and american long run and espionage thriller, the ne, carrying, cobble for a week or 2. when right away, according to the files, the producers ask the us army to support the final season, filming, but initially were turned down by the military. after they saw the script, tommy entertainment office is currently in talk of the producers of homeland who've asked the modern army support, initial request is declined due to a storyline, that was not an accurate portrayal of soldiers. sure, in a responded with some significant edits to the problematic areas. army has agreed to provide support as requested. show runners responded with significant ad. it's what they were. we don't know why. what we do know is that how one's final season speculates on a full story that the russians funded tally about insurgence and also plays off the consequence of the us withdrawal from against then. sounds like something that

american army bosses might like. the pentagon doesn't always get its way though the same internal report suggests christopher no one a hot shot hollywood director, simply snubbed the military as they showed their appetite for a script at its continued discussion. supportive chris nolan thriller, merry go round working title support requests that includes use of all spray and shook frames and g b. an air force of indicated interest if military characterizations are rewritten, emphasizing military mission request for support of chris. know them thriller, merry go round working title seemed to have stopped likely causes that produce a direct, were reluctant to make changes needed to gain the o. d support. others like kept marbles co directors and a bowden. l. y and flag had to cozy up to the defense department report leave. they had lunch with air force, top command, and took part in a professional development session. whatever that means. before the films release, wondering, marvel movies are being branded as military propaganda in the media. more and more,

the internal reports coverages, 2 years of pentagon, hollywood cooperation from 2017 to 2019. yet they side scores of famous movies and tv shows that gain support or a green light from the military, including as former is the last night fast and furious. a tom cruise is top, gone to the list goes on. but those are the films that made it to the big screen despite the it is a lot of stories like a documentary on the guantanamo bay trials have been rejected completely and never came to be a this fall out after tuesday's resignation of new york governor andrew cuomo, he quit after new york's attorney general, concluded that the governor had sexually harris to let him women. now president biden's being dragged over the coals for his previous support for colombo, your governor, new york, on one hell of a job. i think he's sort of a goal standard for the hell of a job. and i mean both on everything from access to voting to

infrastructure, to whole range of things. that's why it's so sad. can you really say, until he's accused sexually harassing? the question is, did he do a good job of infrastructure? i was a question he did. i'll try those personally. ok. separate, you know, and i was asked a specific question. undercover most been under fire from the me to movement. the very calls that he had. it's funny, democrats been backing equipment would previously give an impassioned speeches about respecting women and their personal space to sheep in or ridicule the pain. a woman suffers from the sexual attack is disgusted. i often will give them a grip of the arm, a pad on the face of touch on the stomach,

a slap on the back. it's my way of saying, i see you. i appreciate you. and i thank you to 2nd guess how a woman should have acted after a sexual attack is sexist and disgusted. i do hug and kiss people casually. women and men. i have done it all my life. and the not so distant past, cuomo was going to women's marches, and speaking up in support of the me to movement condemning sexual harassment, talking about the rights of women. but at this point, we have 11 women who are speaking up and saying that andrew cuomo engaged in inappropriate behavior with them. now. andrew cuomo has resigned, but insist that he is innocent. he says he did nothing wrong. it would simply be

impossible for him to continue governing in this atmosphere created by these allegations. the situation and moment. i'm not about to fax. it's not about the truth. this is about politics. and our political system today is too often driven by the extreme twitter has become the public square for policy debate. there was a new phenomenon with its happening today. lawsuits. 7 involving sexual dalliance is occur when somebody denies them. so then you follow up with defamation suit. you don't so anymore for what they did you. so for them denying what they did. so there are, he had said some pretty interesting things as far as the various women who have come forward and said he touched me here and did this. so this is not in any way done there. there this is, i hate to say it's epstein, leon black,

clever. i mean this is, this is what we're used to in our zeitgeist. now, cuomo says this is politically motivated and that the only evidence is a bunch of tweets on social media. however, while most supported this very same movement, the me to movement in similar situations, and many critics of me to have pointed out that all it takes in order to have a politician, step down is allegations the word of accusers, as well as social media outrage. there's really no procedure, there's no way of determining guilt or innocence. the accusations, fly, and careers are destroyed. now, many have pointed out at me to seem to be primarily targeting, you know, republicans and conservatives, donald trump. but cuomo is a democrat, and his accusers are democrats and the new york state attorney general leticia james, who issued the report that seems to have been the last straw, was also a democrat, as damaging to the democratic party. and the,

and the democratic party mil. yeah, the democrats weaponized the me to movement, they used to devastating effect against red cavanaugh. it was a very powerful weapon that was brought to bear. and now it's been brought to bear on one of their own is acutely embarrassing to have cuomo, who was a cheerleader for the me to movement down to fall the him to the movement. and i think these, these, these accusations are backfiring, people are going to be very careful if for bring in charges like this again. and this whole episode leaves a very bad taste in everybody's mouth. it's been here to the day since the sputnik ve. coby vaccine was registered here in russia since then. almost 70 countries have adopted the job and that left continues to grow.

ready but despite its proven track record and the ongoing threat of new overland to cover, all of our restraints splitting agree continues to face problems getting accepted. the job still hasn't been approved by the world health organization or the european med since agency. we also trailer and epidemiologist, michael to why it's taking these organizations so long to give the vaccine the green light it's not particularly clear why. for example, the world health organization hasn't provided emergency authorization. they have done so for 2 of the chinese vaccines kuranda back and sign up for their politics. and that's why i agreed to, to speak to the australian journalists about me,

because i felt it was important that people in the west understood that is a very good next thing produced in russia. it was developed by an excellent world renowned research institute access to make things not tried or is not as good as it should be, given our ability to purchase them. i think the government acted too late last year to order enough things to we're in the situation of only about 20 percent of the people in the strike have been fully vaccinated. that 40 percent received $1.00 sitting using lockdown, melvin's in lockdown, says both health and economic logic to going in hard fast, and then coming out of locked down. pretty quick court. okay, that's the way it looks for moscow. so far this wednesday, the 11th of august, so i'm calling bright back with you next global update in around half an hour and see me

in the news . ah me one of the worst m a nash shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little of the real last vegas,

where many say elected officials are controlled by casino owners. the dangerous shooting revealed what? the l v m p d really is. and now it's part of the stand machine to the american public barely remember that it happens, that just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic had the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care to, here's caroline goodman, offering the lives of the vegas residence. to be the control group, to the shiny facade, conceal a deep indifference to the people, the vice could of been saved. if they were to take an action, absolutely keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing. they use as a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost.

when i would show the wrong, when all just don't rule out, the thing becomes the attitude an engagement equal betrayal. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in the after 10 years in office. and governor cuomo is stepping down as almost a dozen different women came forward with the charges of sexual harassment. but it is the end of the prosecution of the once rumor to be a presidential candidate. we will answer this as well as bring you all of the events on this very historic day, american politics and a story about a call for help from one single mother facing eviction.
