ah, ah, supporters of shooting a sons claim? there's no reason to believe washington promised that he will be allowed to serve any us sentence in his homeland australia. pants as the u. k. high court deliberates on whether to hand him over to the americans throughout the day, high profile figures of spoken out in support of the whistle. never. he would spend the rest of his life, a super max prison in the united states. what kind of life is that? somebody can give me a crime. i've been telling a world the truth solution to the energy crisis for this and other big issues are being discussed on economic forum when it's on an searchable, rona, today a prominent future shaping voters from europe and asia all getting together to brainstorm facebook. no more plasma sick, a bargain out his matter is the new name of his company in an apparent bid to

distance it from the battled social media join. ah, why from moscow? thanks for joining us tonight on our teams national and daniel hawkins. rather, you want to night. welcome to the program. now the fate of the wicked weeks found julianna's songs. she is in the hands of the u. k. high court. and cus, extradition hearing has just ended though a verdict might take several weeks. ah, i didn't assange is warranted why washington, on 17 charges of espionage on one of conspiracy to government computer is convicted . he could face a prison sentence of 175 years. we had from all he shot it was dashed to. he was

outside the court for us, an independent journalist which should met us. he's been watching the whole hearing via a special life st. the judge has just said they will take everything into consideration, but no ruling was handed out immediately. yesterday, the entire day was devoted to hearing arguments before by the prosecution for the grounds of appeal, why they wanted to appeal the judge's decision not to extradite the songs. and there were 5 grounds of appeal in today. the defense was able to respond to these points and the, to the 2 main topics, or of course, a phone, just health and the assurance of the diplomatic assurance is given by the united states. now, in terms of health, what the prosecution have been trying to do is accuse a key medical, extra witness professor compliment of being disingenuous of misleading the court by just by refusing to disclose by concealing the identity of a son, just partner selim morris. and the 2 children. busy and today in court, we finally heard the yahoo news story, the investigative journalism that was done a few weeks ago where 30 us officials confirmed what we already knew from anonymous

testimony, that the c i was discussing, plans to potentially kidnap or poison julie massage in london, and so this was brought up in the context of why a couple of men why professor coleman did not disclose the identity of a son, just partner and their 2 children because he feared for their safety. right. and in fact, one of the export medical witnesses called by the prosecution doctor blackwood also knew a lot of phones as children, but didn't disclose that in his medical report. they didn't seem to care about that . so they've been trying to chip away at his expertise and integrity because of a technicality. when it comes to the assurances that the united states is giving, they say that julian funds can service sentence in australia, but australia has not even indicated if they will take drilling farms. this is a process that could take many years, which he would spend either an administrative segregation, which is effectively solitary confinement or special administrative measures sounds . so the question is, who will be in australia by then will they want to take julian songs? and when it comes to a story, assurances the united states has previously previously given

a short and says to that, to mendoza from spain, people who were extradited to the united states on a promise of being given psychiatric medical care. they were, they, they ended up being sent to a d x lawrence where, you know, this is an, essentially a federal super maximum prison where assange will most certainly go. so they're been trying to play this point, that administrative segregation is not the same thing as, as sam's. but the truth is that you and assange will most definitely be placed in at least administrative segregation. and if not, he'll be sent to a special housing unit. so there's a wide array of tools that the united states can use to break him once he's on us soil and they most certainly will. they're richer, they're already many analysts to who are suspicious, or perhaps this will be dragged out weeks, months, even years. and julian assigns will just live perpetually in some sort of a prison, whether it's a bell marsh in the u. k. of potentially in america, or even as you say in australia, your life there in vienna, you are watching the hearing through a special live stream. now let's cross over to london outside the u. k. high court ortiz at shot, it was dashed, he's still the shadow. you've had

a busy day with lots of a song, just support his way you want out today. tell us about how it was today. i know you were speaking to friends and family of julian assange, people outside of the rural course of justice has been very vocal really 48 hours now in the sense of the linux is not just the loser. the theories with the people here on the streets as well, particularly in regards to the fact that the united states was totally discrediting units on just psychiatric evaluations. done assessments. and when you make secretary and he said to me earlier today, and he said that they're still living in some high that justice and will be sad on the medical ground. common sense and justice seems to be often far away. so i have to retain a certain level of skepticism loans in the system when the assessing the possibilities . but we certainly hope that you outcome will be that the high court will simply say he cannot be expedited. this is an opportunity for the 19th and to reassert

administration or lee a all around the world. well, it's not just campaign is, but in fact, members of parliament here in the united kingdom came out in full today. arguing that all of this evidence presented today is prove that this case is 100 percent politically motivated, specially considering all that junior scientists into over the last 10 years, really near a decade dol. i'll give leave and the un adopted as psychological torture. over the years, but also in humane treatment, in what's known as a black fight, that was london's ecuador, and embassy, all the evidence we've gotten, all the experience they've gotten the united states is that he would go just for a max prison on a sentence, 175 years, he would spend the rest of his life in a super max prison in the united states. what kind of life is that to look through

with no crime? i've been telling the world the truth. it is a total injustice. we send this man to america, to the time, to the lot of assess in many of the park when people have said he should be killed . so they won't treat him as a human being. so they want to make an example of giving the son by treating him so badly by trying to break him. so that gives a lesson to all the gym with . how do not want to go. mom did not want to come out and continued. didn't want to suppress many campaign is a hailing janice onto the hay round today. they've been incredibly vocal for their 10 hours today. 10 hours yesterday chanting free, free units on nothing in his trial from last year even to now is it every single instant than any other pool is low in anywhere in the world?

this would have been for now for, for this to be continuing. is absolutely ridiculous. and i did say prison system is an a form of degradation of humans to be treated worse than any animal to be treated. certainly efforts are made to discourage particular kinds of bravery. and courage will someone say the, the insolence, the impedance to the stand up to power a st. barrison is good to hear, barrison to be english, involved with the high coach of injustice is wise to become a friend in the laws in every wide i chan just to ensure to julian sites in until he died. something is the plan option returns a in his latest episode of going underground discuss the sanchez case with mills meltzer the given the special operator on torture. you can watch the full interview on saturday. i doing this and, and i have to specialize forensic doctors with me in

a psychiatrist evaluating him for hours and you know, all independently from each other kinda those conclusions. at that time, his life was in danger, and he sure enough, a few days after we left the prison, he entered the downward spiral. he was, as we all know, isolated in the health care division, our prison and stabilized with strong medication. and, but the thing is, you know, you can't do it in the sand is not mentally ill. so if he has a mental issue now it's because of use that he has and you cannot, you cannot get someone to recover from torture by continuing, continuing to torture him. and that's exactly what they do. they isolate him by keeping in that limbo, even if you, even if we assume for the purpose of the argument that yes back extradition proceeding is the did image,

we have to somehow secure his presence. it can be in house arrest green reforms and the energy supply crisis has some of the big questions looking to be answered at today's erasing economic forum. the to day then gather together because it is from the business world and beyond. and is underway in northern italy's verona with more details and what's been already said at the forum. he is out. he correspondent shouted davinsky a day full of hunches. here, new region, economic forum with state taxes and big businesses having their say about the state of the world, day one. so trade and energy in focus with many criticisms of the use agenda and of how the west continues to push it own agenda on to the world. the idea to globalize the western model is, what is now the mainstream doing it is to believe that we have to spread our western model of running countries and running the road to make it

a global standard. but it still is from history of essence senate. and when everyone is stick to it, then there will be peace and everyone who is not willing to stick to it, but to remain and their own regional tradition is the enemy. he went on to say that a, you ration block was essential to balance the power of china. and the us and relations between the e. u in russia were being hampered by washington. they'll have to super powers the united states on the one hand and, and china on the other hand. so if you create a block in the middle, and if you ration block could be strong enough to balance it out, it could have exit distance to boost to united states on the one hand. and china, on the other hand to china is in support. is supporting our plans to have a closer integration between russia and its alliance. and europe in union, by the united states do quite critical to wanted because they want to maintain

western europe in their cold war state as, as a strong ally. that helps them in their competition, which china and there was a competition, not primarily on, on economics, but it is primarily on power and on politics. warnings about how important trade was globally. and the dire consequences of not working together. also came in the form of a reference to shakespeare or through verona, is where romeo and juliet was based digital. where now in the seat of your honor, which is the setting for the renown tale of feud between the montague and calculate klan. well know how that ended here is a serious lesson. we should take from that story when the ambitions of some people begin to prevail over common sense tragedy may occur. we need to ask ourselves, are the ambitions that we are fighting over to day worth? what happens after forums like this help us to rethink the things we can lose if

well, the quarrel, we should have dialogue and bill mutually beneficial relationships that use energy crisis was oh, so pulled apart with panelists, saying that the block itself was to blame energy demand in all european markets, increase sick he practically financially in the 1st half of 2021. at the same time gas storage facilities that you was longer than your the last winter. you took cor temperatures. that persisted into the spring. as a result, the re, injection into gas storage did not begin until at 8 approval. now, nearly months later than the average in previous years. these factors let to higher prices and stronger demand. during the summer months,

the transition to green energy is necessary. they said, with that transition had been badly plant out and poorly managed. the main theme from the 2nd all mc forum was dialogue and b. improvements over relationships are needed, particularly with russia. many suggesting that both russia and the new would benefit from this day to we'll see further discussions that we'll be looking at the digital economy and how to overcome the neo liberal, socio economic system. charlotte, even ski r t verona. facebook's parent company is changing its name to mess up. it's part of a drive to expand the firms portfolio of app. so it's currently also includes instagram and what's up. facebook is one of the most used technology products in the history of the world. it's an iconic social media brand. right now,

our brand is so tightly linked to one product that it can't possibly represent everything we're doing today, let alone in the future. over time i hope we are seen as a met averse company. and i want to anchor our work and our identity on what we're building towards. or the new name unveils plans to build a metaphor for an online world in a virtual environment where people can gain work and communicate often using virtual reality headsets. and he's probably take a look at what that might look like in the future and how it's being implemented within a matter of years, if facebook gets its way, a lot of us could be spending much have online looking something like this. hiring $10000.00 people to create a met us for the low nods out there. all let virtual poly explain to make of us is basically the make tricks. you create digital avatars of

yourself like me and then you put on your ve. i had set and away you go, you can walk around a virtual world and interact with people in real time. they're doing things like shopping and dancing and studying together in a virtual space. the real world may struggle to compete. facebook founder and ceo mock sucker bug says that the max of us is just send that kill progression from the to the internet to the 3. the one you can kind of think about the meta verse as an embodied internet, where instead of just viewing content, you're in it and you feel present with other people as if you're in other places having different experiences that you, you couldn't necessarily do 2 d app or webpage like dancing, and talk about not buying to monopolize the mass of us. it is far too late for that . the idea is that uses will flip seamlessly from one virtual world into another.

so instead of flying from paris to new york, for example, you'd digitally teleport yourself from facebook's massive us to google's or apple's one. i'm from you. boom. as quaking in your booth at the thought of this mess of us, the future is already here. back in 2020 rock and travis scott played a virtual concert within the full night wold which attracted over 12000000 viewers . which was a record at the time not carried bronze coffins on to the fact that there's bags of money to be made. he's in the midst of us. he's already unveiled a virtual collection on the roadblock platform. while valencia olga is creating a bunch of clothes or skins as they're known for fortnight. there's even companies flipping virtual real estate in the met us. if you're struggling to understand how this works, you're not alone. there is a building, boom, breaking out,

but it's not happening in your backyard. it is happening in a fake world. so there are many met versus there isn't just one. but the, the oldest one, the, the oldest crypto vs one is called a central and land into central and was selling for about $500.00 a parcel in 2019 today. those same parcels are trading for about $7800.00. whether you're ready for life in the cloud or not facebook announcement that it's hiring an army of developers to build. this met us has been a rating success by one measure, at least i just spent 3 minutes talking about facebook virtual plans instead of the company's real world problems such as the whistleblower that's just come out and said that the company puts profits over use as safety shorter lead mazda zak, a bug alone. yeah. big bully. let's get more insight now from mark reduction of old altro retired professor of liberal arts at new york university. thanks for coming on. so good to have you with us this evening. what do you make of this rebranding?

i guess the question really is what's in a name? well, partly this deflection from some of their troubles with the whistle blower ex, today. and the, you know, the, the lawsuits and so forth about their monopolization of the, of the internet. but it's more than that. it's really a move on the part of facebook and soccer per to own, the matter verse to, to be the 1st company to put a steak on the matter for metaphors as it were in order to control the real estate there. and this is really a sort of parallels what google did when they re branded from google to, to alphabet. it's a way of expanding their portfolio and to, to frame it in terms of this matter verse altogether and using to the average

customer, the average person who uses these companies and apps it's, we're going to make a lot of difference. i mean, if you think about google, that parent companies alphabet, no really talks about that's will really knows anything about it. well, it will make a difference because they're going to try to reframe social media in terms of this matter so that it will be a matter of fully immersive virtual reality experience. this is what they're moving towards and what they want to establish. and this is kind of like living in a virtual simulation, if you will. and this is very significant because this has been on the table from this technocratic a lead for some time. this way of sort of not supplementing, but you might say replacing the actual physical world experience with this bird totally immersive virtual simulation of experience. and so this is something that

they've been intent on the establishing for some time. and zach herbert just wants to be 1st to do it. and there was a lot of hyper on votes throughout a couple of years back. it never really took off beyond a sort of small mission. playful. really? do you think that's where the future actually lies? now is mark super sick about claim. apparently they believe, you know, and i think that's mostly what counts, whether they actually think this is going to be where the future lives, because they have the power to determine that. so this is where it's after burke and company think that the future lives in the matter versus the future of social media and probably a lot more. it could accelerate and become part of basically everyday living where you're moving around in virtual reality, your body's moving around in space. but your experience that as a virtual reality of fully immersive simulation of, of the world and kind of

a way of blade and replacing the physical with this virtual experience. yeah, indeed. what times we live in marco racks, an old retired professor of liberal arts at new york university. thanks so much for your time here with us today. sure. now it's been almost 2 months since the taliban returns of power and i've got to start following the chaotic us draw on the challenges are piling up. and economic crisis is now being compounded with a threat of mass starvation for many children. the brutal reality of life is clear to see. my name is mike, i'm 7 years old. i'm here to collect bread. sometimes people help us, sometimes they don't. i don't have a father. i take care of myself. there is no one else to feed us. there are 6 people in our family and i'm the eldest boy at home, so i have to support them. i can't work because one of my hands is paralyzed. adults told me that my hand will not work. i dream of continue my studies at school

and becoming a doctor. one day people tell us down some times and they say there is no work, no money, so they can't give us bread. my name is nancy, i collect plastic weiss and salad. i'm here at the baker to collect a few non bread. i have 3 and will now go home. my father died there is no one at home to earn money. i have my mom, a younger brother and sister, and the only one who takes bread home till a family. i want to be a doctor, but there is no one to help us. it was better before. at least we could find bread easily, but things are in good to day. now we don't have any one to support us if there was, i wouldn't be here. no, no, my name is nadia. i'm collecting non bread were helpless at home. we have no work. few people help us, we're often left hungry. i don't want to be here begging i want to stay at home that you are now estimates over 3000000 children under 5 are at risk of dying from malnutrition, as some in the precarious state of the economy,

which has been heavily dependent on foreign funds for years around 40 percent of its gross domestic product has been international aid for the taliban, however, never control of the country. a food crisis is not the only problem though. dealing with islamic states, the televisions long time enemy has repeatedly stage of the tax on the new government and religious minorities. now the pentagon is expressed concern at tara groups. waste in the country have intentions to attack the us mainland within a year. so a far cry from the supposed success of the troop withdrawal, but president wide and the hales at the time. 7 i think the intelligence community currently assess that both isis k and al qaeda have the intent to conduct external operations, including against the united states, but neither currently has the capability to do so. we could see isis, kate generate that capability somewhere between 6 to 12 months. i think the current assessments by the intelligence community is that al qaeda would take a year or 2. our mission to degrade the terrorist threat of al qaeda in afghanistan

and kill osama bin laden was a success. i believed that our presence in afghanistan should be focused on the reason we went, the 1st place to ensure afghanistan would not be uses a base from which to attack our homeland again. we did that. we accomplish our objective form appends. insecure journalists, michael maloof, told us us withdrawal has made it even harder to remove islamic states from afghanistan. isis is now imbedded in a highly remote mountainous region. would make it much more difficult to try to extract them. and isis k has as demonstrated to tell a bomb, which is what sir, against that while they may think that they run canis them, they actually control events. and they've demonstrated that with their suicide bombings, the united states is unable to get any basis in the region. the

over the horizon concept really doesn't work all that well. and in the ordinance it's flowing against isis or all kinds of targets now has to come from the gulf. it was biting who wanted to get out and the and bite and also. busy what against the best advice of his, of his national security team to, to, to stay there until certain conditions could be met. frances this feet with britain over fishing, right, said escalated after a british followers seize off its coast and other vessels being slapped with a fine. this comes off the front without that intense the sanction britain in a bid to gain greater access to british waters. access that paris as has been unfairly curbed post practice in the u. k, remains defiant mis it took the most. now we have to speak the language of force because unfortunately, this british government only understands that it is very disappointed to see the

comment that came from france yesterday. we believe these are disappointing and disproportionate and not what we'd expect from a close ally and partner. i've heard the british see that we acted disproportionately to them. now we are just sending our right. we are defending our fishermen. the are defending the french coast in its economy. me, when you sign an agreement, you must respect to respect all of the plans. british vessels and goods will be effected from november the 2nd, unless french fishermen receive more licenses to fish in water emergency food barring fishing vessels from this, and balking at french ports and beefed up board of checks on u. k. goods on congo. well, the dispute all way back to 2016 when bush and voted to leave the e. u in the year that followed the block and the u. k. struck a deal where burton offers access the french fishers who can prove they previously fish there. paris says only half

a french vessels eligible for british fishing license have been given one london in turn is warming, frances ultimate and vonn. it's e u. u. k. agreements and indeed, water international law. we heard earlier from you could form a spokesman for fisheries mark him, and mark de la, hey, who's the head of normandy, committee on fisheries. they offered their opposing views on the issue. i think it's a president that's got an election coming up on the horizon and he's trying to be a bit of a statesman. they're a bit of a bully by we can say that the moraine finding doing very well along the know french cost and he's not going to be desperate to get those books back to you. again. we have to be very, very strong with never, ever down to bullying and we shouldn't. now we shouldn't allow this month of bullying to that, the french to this country. we need to get control of our walls to which we would promise in the same way we promised control. and i was just, i don't believe we've got that yet and we've been waiting to get access to those

waters for more than 11 months. now it's time to do something about it. after all, we're aware of what the other party is trying to project. everyone is trying to flex their muscles, but i don't think it will end in a naval battle between the french and british. this is not so much of an economic issue as a symbolic one. the way we resolve this problem will determine how breakfast is settled in other sectors of the economy. just come up to $130.00. i am here in moscow. that's all for this hour. the attic simons show coming up in just a few moments time and they go to shop. all of us will take the hot seats in 30 minutes to guide you through the nights global news headlines. join us again here in arlington. national ah, ah

. mm. well kind of to the alex salmon. sure. when we look at the feature of the planet, a bite to be determined at cop $26.00 in glad school. is this as the american special climate? and by joint katie says, the last best hope for humanity, or is it just another summit? low and rhetoric on short, on delivery. well, we ask doctor to hunt of cambridge university where the engineering and science can offer a solution to planner to warming. and on the eve of the summit, the prime minister delta huge below to scotland hopes of leading the dash to the hydrogen economy by prioritizing 2 english projects over the scores cluster. alex asked.
