the, the headlining this alberto police say the use of violence is part of germany's legal system, as they defend officers rough handling of anti lockdown protests early this month was too hard criticism from a top un human rights official security and assault cases, once again in london, hi cole, it's time washington appealed to expedite him to the united states. a former british opposition leaders lending his support for the whistleblower under threat to serve his compression. what is also i'm the, is the threats of example about take my 1st helicopter right before a better reason. i'll pay joins the helicopter cru battling the devastating wildfires for the ravaged rushes fall, reese per month. ah

. are they life i worldwide? this is art. the international from moscow, i'm calling bray with the world update this. our firm for the un special rebels on torture news mounts has met with the german interior minister as well as top police officials in berlin. the expert said the authorities were open and ready to share material about the allegations of police brutality at an anti lockdown protest earlier this month. but the police have remained unapologetic about the use of force against demonstrators. the question is, violence, violence hurts, violence, injured violence, looks violent, direct coercion, even with all the picture that go with it is still part of a legal kind of cross development this out for

a se. jessica taylor. hi. that the police pretty much clearing what they've done. they said it was justified. critics, especially people have seen that video, disagree. take us through it. while one not video of a piece off, the slamming an elderly woman to the ground sauce us the wild cried police brutality that was concern and got outrage, even the balloon police department. what's that very same video and essentially came out and said. 5 0, wireless is normal, but there's nothing to see here. so it's a pretty shocking statement that's been made the following an investigation into numerous complaints about police, misconduct, of bill and protests on the 1st of all. but now many will remember on that day, 5000 people took to the streets of the german capital, and they would demonstrate and are against lockdown measures. and of course, the coven vaccine. and the randi took quite a dark ton, went off to stepped into falsely his boston crowd. we pulled them punching people

in the faces ticking and shoving demonstrates his using pepper spray in the faces. and probably the most famous infant throwing people violent me to the ground around $600.00 arrests in total were made. now the footage the fence thought to naked with so shocking that it went to the very top and grabbed the attention of the un special, rapid tower and torture nose. moussa, a number of videos have been spread that give ground for concern the clues a strong enough the human rights violations were possibly committed. well, he also added that the woman could have di, just that we understand the severity of the situation. and it's actually thought that triggered mouth to reach out to the terminal authorities requested did additional information and for them to open an investigation. now, having concluded that, having looked into the incident as we've had apparently been, and police doesn't see anything to stopping in that footage. at all, and in fact an insider who works on the lin, forth actually went so far as to praise his colleague for handling situation while

that was neatly executed, had lever hold, the officer held the woman until contact with the ground so as to avoid head injury so not only are we hearing justification with this idea, that violence is part and parcel of the legal system in a european democracy, which i think is a new and pretty astounding learn concerning ikea. and we're also hearing since the even praise offices who are tardy and a top the tuition and they were forced to rely on very extreme means to suppress route to crowd funding. what's more, the bed and police union actually came out and added that most is worry about human rights violation. having been committed would only in bold an anti lockdown protesters and quote, conspiracy theorists who want to discredit the police. so it seems very much that despite real time footage, showing these violent act, despite concern from one of the highest organizations in the world, b, u. n. the bill in pennies is not any refusing to,

to apologize. it's refusing to acknowledge any type of wrong to a little so now criticizing those who draw attention to this wrong thing, an error when police are hyper aware of the use of excessive violence, they know what it can lead to the public outcry that it can lead to this move by the bell and piece percent wash. it's hands of the situation. unclear itself is a bold move, i think is not gonna find many funds yet the question of it being appropriate or not but scape, everything's filmed, everything's out there. okay, for now. say the thank you for that. let's get some thoughts now in berlin, gym and journalist and also thomas fat. spend a join says, welcome back to our see, what's your assessment to the level of police force have justified response or too much? well, i fully agree with the previous statement that this is a troubling, a very troubling phenomenon which i personally have lived in germany for so many decades would not have expected. it is clearly excessive what we saw and i've

seen different accounts and i've also, i have witness accounts from people who i know who happened to be close. cases of police violence, very senior people who were simply shocked by what we thought. so this is clearly excessive, and it is the troubling the reaction by the burden towards the the refusing to admit that they have been wrong doing, especially if we think that one year ago, the german media, the german public. so 100 percent li condemned the violence against black people in the u. s. a. this is indeed worried. well, this is the thing. nobody's going to underestimate the difficult job. the police have, especially if you're part of a riot school, but that quote from berlin police, for all it's ugliness, police violence is still part of germany's legal system. which of alluded to that

germany previously lambasted other nations by the us, like russia. i would talk to lisa for those criticism to bring a little holler now. well, i wouldn't say the criticism is a hollow because from my point of view, at least if, as long as we look at civilized the, let's say, similar european nations which include germany, russia, the u. s. police and politicians should definitely live and be interested in limiting the, the amount of force used. but what is hypocritical is the double standards that are applied. and, and again, i fully understand if german media, german officials criticize the european countries while the us for that and for, for police force. but why do not, why do they refuse to do the same thing when their own police forces are concerned? that is the of the order. in fact, i was one thing that came up when those protests were escalated to few people. analysts in germany who pointed out that similar mass gatherings in berlin recently

got less police attention. why do you think the anti lockdown protest has got the full force of the riot squads where it was fairly one has to admit that we have a strong majority of view in germany, of anti locked down people. in particular, corona deniers as a sort of dump and not really reasonable people who can be then treated in not in, in no acceptable ways. if you look at twitter statements by people who are defending the, the government policy in terms of lockdown and vaccination, how they in some cases, in many cases, i would, i would say, open the tools to use the force. because as it is as if the corona denials are viewed by many and the german public, many people in germany as

a sort of 2nd class citizens who are so unreasonable that you can deal with them as, as the policeman did. i want to think of another police law exonerated themselves over this, the people who were affected by one of the chances of any recourse, any hearing public or otherwise the claims of brutality was this, the, the, the, the arrival of the, or the x by the un hi, representative here. i certainly will certainly justifying to expect some sort of follow up here of the police reaction direction by the burning police is the one thing. but i have read already before mister medicine was in germany, some rather thoughtful pullman here. i would say we could expect at least some of the policemen will, will feel the consequence. ok, but i got to talk to you again, thomas fast man, the journalist and presenter,

german language channel. thanks very much. a supporters of wiki leagues found a julian, a songs have rallied outside the high court in london to protest its decision to hear us appeal. it was filed against the british rule and not to extradite the whistleblower that was made back in january. well, there's demonstrated the angry that the case was even opened in the 1st place. the next hearing will take place in october. a song was arrested in 2019 for breaching british by all conditions he remains in london, jailed and is still wanted on espionage charges in the united states. more than a decade ago the we can lease co founder published thousands of classified documents, exposing pentagon war crimes in afghanistan on the rock. he could face up to a 175 years in prison if expedited to america. all these k parties reports outside the court paired the u. k is high court of justice in central london. the u. s. is being allowed to appeal against the decision not to expedite wiki leak founded julian, it's ours and action, which is broadcast. some of his supporters with what's going on during the phone

with them all purchased justice has just been thrown out the window. the u. s. government is using the u. k. tax payers money for these aberrations of justice cases. the whole thing is going to be can depend on the pressure and on this issue, you, anybody, li, 3 in the mainstream major in the you are on notice if they get behind these, they're going to be next. on january, the 4th, the british judge should rule the someone couldn't be expedited to america, fighting concerns about his mental health and the risk of suicide. any us prisoner call remained in a british high security prison. he's considered a flight risk and has spent the last decade either in the u. k. prison or the ecuadorian embassy in london. when a decision on the phone which is native hearing isn't expected. and so we often fall outside the high court to support and were protesting against his extradition,

including former opposition leader, jeremy coven, should always try and create in terms of the policy treat. think of the history of the country. the world is achieved. freedom from colonization question, always been paid to quote that again, injustice in progress. i was afraid him to be able to communicate with people, and i don't need to be moderated by or any other level. news corp generally is under threat to case one said compression. many companies that play what is happening well, what is also on the board is the threats of example. why does use corporation control of most media, television, radio and print media, and they become

a health tension on gen this behavior. good thoughts now from journalist richard matters. it was across what was happening of the court today. good to have you on our see which if you saw julian songs via the video link, but you quoted as saying that you couldn't recognize and go through. how did he look? yeah, thanks for having me on. so, you know, i, i was connected to the court remotely, and i literally did a double take. i can recognize that it was a song she looked extremely old. you know, he's wearing a white shirt, some glosses harris, his ruffled, and yet here the tie that wasn't actually on just really looks completely. i mean, you know, part of the rash assessment looks very awful and ill and which is normal because the whole point of the high court, preliminary hearing today was to discuss his health. right. so we had extensive medical witness testimony during extradition, hearing at the bailey back in september and october. and this was again brought up today and is going to be brought up again in october and not in the high court that

his health is deteriorated. he's been tortured as un special raptor, neal smelter has, has explained thoroughly various medical experts. psychiatrists of all corroborated this at the expedition hearing. i mean, there's really no doubt here and i could, i couldn't even recognize him at 1st, which is punishing. it really did take me a minute and i also heard him speak briefly at the end. again, he did not sound very well and this is absolutely normal, given the fact that he's locked up in solitary confinement. he's been an arbitrary detention now for 7 years in the ecuador embassy, 2 years now in belmont prison. and this is, i'm a journalist who is not serving a sentence. he's not a criminal, and he's in a maximum security prison in britain is one time. i mean, someone needs to explain that to me what is happening because this is completely unjust and crime against press freedoms. and it's, it's an affront against his personal health. his the hearing to place at all is something that's really sticking in the cruel of a sound to supporters. but the,

you, in the u. k. justice process has to find a long convoluted way. that is even what it is. how much of a win is it for the united states that this hearing happens? and now they've got to lock tobar to sorted out? well it's, it's a big win that it happened at all. and this is a very important point because people need to remember that this is about press freedoms, 1st and foremost, as well as it is about a phone. but the whole conversation, i was shifted to his health, which is of course, of pivotal importance. but, you know, though the united states already won in january when the judge price ruled in their favor. she said that she agrees with all of the political charges to read with 17 counts under the espionage actually agreed with the conspiracy to commit computer intrusion. and she even found equivalence of them under the official secrets act, which united kingdom is also trying to trying to mimic the espionage act with now and make wars. and she agreed with all the political charges. so now when it comes to the high court, these are not being debated. there's nothing about press freedoms here, even though there are dozens of lawyers, historians,

journalists who testified at the expeditionary, including noam chomsky andy worthington. i mean, these are really, you know, some of the biggest intellectuals and experts in their respective fields. and they all said that this isn't a front on press freedom. and this is not being discussed anymore on the countries even worse now, because united states was granted 3 out of 5 grounds to appeal regarding julian, a sancha at the high court. and today, what, what's happened is that this decision's been over and turn, so it's not 3 out of 5, it's all 5. so now they can go into the high court in october and they can question the validity of the psychiatric evaluation. they can say, well, we don't think he's depressed. we don't think there's a high risk of suicide. even though the judge agreed with this and she blocked his extradition in january. precisely because there is a high risk of suicide if he's extra safe, given the horrendous prison conditions given the steadfast guarantee he will be convicted and found guilty unfairly. there's never been a successful case for a defendant at the espionage court, and he will be put in soldier confinement whether they call administer segregation

or special administrative measures. this is torture. that's what it is. this is guaranteed and there is a very high risk of suicide if he's extra dotted and he's already in terrible shape as i just witnessed myself today. and before and given that his health was the underlying principle of the ruling in january. so pretty much all that his supporters have got to go on now it's only a sound. his worsening house is not the only thing in there. awesome. well, no, not at all. i mean, as i said, the, the most important thing about this case is press freedom because when you have someone who publishing, you know, work, documenting war crimes from united faith in genesis in iraq with people, again, they think this is something to do with 2015 absolutely nothing to do 2015. he's being charged julian songs is being prosecuted biting, i'd say, because he published documents relating to iraq and afghanistan. he published evidence of war crime of kidnapping rendition and torture policy. as a matter of fact, they even tried to take the dna of the baby at the end of the they tried to, they've spider and have not tried. they have spider and,

and even discuss the plan to kidnap and poison him at the embassy in london. and so this is what the case is about. it's about press freedoms. it's about being able to do your job as a journalist and published evidence that is evidence of government crimes and wrong doing. and he's not allowed to do that job. they're trying to make an example out of him, and it doesn't have to necessarily result in a conviction in the end. the whole process is the punishment, the fact that he's been in arbitrary detention for 7 years and 2 years in belmore, this can be dragged out for decades. and this is what they want. they want to torture, is found to make an example out of him. and so his supporters know this and, you know, they've also chunk that in support of craig murray was another political prisoner. now he's been locked up for 8 months. i mean, this is really, it's fundamentally about press freedoms, but unfortunately, does not mean discussed anymore. and it's only about us on just helping even then the court, the court fighting with united states. this is such a disaster. okay. richard, good to talk to you. thanks for joining us for us or the cortelia today could have you on program. thanks. thanks very much. next wildfires keep raging in

russia's acute here region in the far east of the country. thank smokes covered cities and reportedly reached as far as the north pole volunteers, firefighters, heavy machinery and able forces rolled involved in trying to extinguish the flames . it's also heavy and exhausting work as our team to meet republic discovered when you 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 about the situation is because right now the fires are threatening several villages. we will see just how bad 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. the views were stunning, but the closer we got to the village day became somewhat terrifying. first it's clear skies and 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 in 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 say to 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 difficulty 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 have traveled all the way from the other side of russia, from cornelia morland's 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 your career to aid their fellow colleagues. and there they go to the front line of the seemingly endless battle for when we came from mormon, to help the regions, 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 washers notice location on their maps. all anom,

not bad for my 1st helicopter flight guy. this is all to you from moscow on the way new charges for rushes, leading opposition activists correspond, will take us through it after the break. ah, hello, driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing we dare to ask in

what we 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 me. ah, ah, i got new in this hour incarcerated russian opposition activist alexi develope faced his new criminal charges my life now to i'll teach donald quarter who's across developments for a site that just took us through the latest charge then being brought against nevada. hi calling. well, the new charges that are being leveled against imprisoned russian opposition figure alec seen of all me are connected to his political organization. the anti

corruption foundation, back in june, moscow declared that it was an extremist organization. just months after it was organizing nationwide, unsanctioned protests in the country during a time of serious anti cope with measures all around the country. now, we heard on wednesday about these charges in a statement from the investigative committee that has been looking and to the organizations activities. it said that no volney is responsible for creating an organization that is infringed on the rights of russian citizens, which is a separate matter from the fraud and, and violation of probation for which he's serving time and a penal colony right now. we also heard from the all new lawyer, she said that the maximum sentence for the charges that he's currently serving time for is 3 years in a penal colony, but that this can be extended. if a new guilty verdict is introduced by how much she didn't say, but this is a developing story. so of course we'll keep our viewers updated on all the latest details. okay. i know that the reactions already rolling in on line. okay,

for now don't cool to thank you. next, it's one of the most infamous symbols of the vietnam war, agent orange, the extremely toxic herbicide and d foley, and used by the us military in that campaign. the chemical course was suffering of hundreds of thousands of people and the last effects have passed down across generations. now, 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, the elbow down and my left leg from the knee down. and the hospital that i was

born in, i had never seen anything like that before. so they weren't sure if i was gonna 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 u. s government still doesn't accept responsibility for the damage done by a korean. it states that there's no scientific evidence linking the toxic substance to adverse health effects in vietnam. the son of veteran josh kelly, who we just heard from, told us of his deep frustration that lead us 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 age and or 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 defects that you can't even really name a law because it's just so many pets, again has been routinely bullying hollywood movie makers in portraying the us military and a favorable life according to newly obtained documents. it also often demand script at it with one tv series, even getting its wings clipped by us top brass as constantine broadcast report propaganda on the silver screen. so the d. o. d 's been waging war. the creative freedom is scrape writers and directors. perhaps the most blatant case is the 200-1900 c b s. trauma serious, the code about marine corps lawyers,

which was canceled soon after release school pack, were headed towards the as it turns out, the military saw the 1st after i was before they went on air and was upset about a storyline show and a marine turned congress man, accused of brutally execute and then 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 had cost to filming community. remember, homeland and american long run and ask the thriller the

carrying, cobble for a week or 2. when, according to the files, the producers asked with army to support the final season, filming, but initially were turned down by the military. after they saw the script on the entertainment office is currently in talk of the producers of homeland. who have 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 them. sounds like something that american army bosses might like. the pentagon doesn't always get its way though the same internal reports, jas. 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 request. it includes use of all spray and chin . f frames and g b. an air force of indicated interest if military characterizations are rewritten, emphasizing military mission request for support of chris nolan thriller, merry go round working title. seemed to have stopped likely causes that produce a direct, were reluctant to make changes needed to gain d o. d support. others like captain marbles co director, as an a, bowden and wine flag had to cozy up to the defense department reporter leave. they had lunch with air force top command and took part in a professional development session. whatever that means before the film's release. now wondering, marvel movies are being branded as military propaganda in the media more and more. the internal report.
