ah, ah, support is of true to an assange clay. washington's form is to allow him to serve his sentence in his homeland australia should not be trusted downtown, for you, case high court deliberates on what the to hand him over to the americans today. high profile figures have spoken in support of the whistleblower. he would spend the rest of the week, a supermarket, prison in the united states. what kind of life with no crohn. oh, good. telling the world the truth. also the sound as solution to the energy crisis and other big issues have been discussed as an economic form. and they've tendency to have verona where prominent figures shaping voices from europe and asia, and getting together on facebook. no more as mug zak

a bug announces meta is in, you name, always company. and the power in bed to distance it from the in. bustled social media drawn. and ah, this is been used on, on, seen to national was me you national provider. hello and welcome to the program. now the fate of the we can expand a jr and a sanjay is in the hands of the u. k. hi court. it's us extradition hearing is just ended. the verdict might take weeks wash. julian sanchez wanted by motions on on 17 challenges of asp. menache and one on conspiracy to hack and government computer. it convicted, he could face

a prison sentence, a 175 years we had from overseas ashanda edwards dusty who was outside the cord for us and independent journalist richard mad housed has been watering the whole hearing via a social 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 performed by the prosecution for the grounds of appeal. why they want to appeal the judge's decision not to extra songs. and there were 5 grounds of appeal in today, the defense was able to respond to these points. and the 2, the 2 main topics are 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, 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 a 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 expert 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, a songs can service sentence in australia, but australia has not even indicated if they will take julian forms. 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 a song 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, and then they, they ended up being sent to a dex 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 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 saw 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 royal court of justice has been very vocal really 48 hours now in defense of june. it's not just the louisa, the furious with washington, 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 what he needs secretary and keith went 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, lawrence in the system when the assessing the possibilities. but we certainly hope

that you all comp will be that the high quote will simply say he cannot be expedited. this is an opportunity for the them to reassert administration or li, a journalist 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 and here over the last 10 years, really. and they are a decade, all of all given the un adopted as psychological torture over the years, but also in humane treatment in what's known as a black flight. that was london's ecuador and embassy. all the evidence we've gotten, all the experience they've gotten united states is that they 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 hand, 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 a son by treating him so badly by trying to break him. but 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 on today around today. they've been incredibly vocal for their 10 hours today, 10 hours yesterday, challenging free,

free units on nothing in his trial from last year, even to now is in it every single instant than any other pool is low in anywhere in the world. this would have been for, for, for this to be continuing is absolutely ridiculous and i did say, ah prison. this is a full degradation of humans to be treated worse than any animals. certainly efforts are made to discourage kinds of bravery. and courage will someone say the insolence, the incident to the sound of the power it is embarrassing is everybody in the building. there's them involved in the high culture injustices wise become different in the laws in every way. i can just very short, a judas sizing and for the noise, i think is the plan. now pink floyd, founding member roger waters called the treatment of jr and sons, a huge miscarriage of justice. this is an absolute

nonsense that this man has been locked up for a single day. whether it's in the ecuadorian embassy or in bell marsh. this is, this is one of the most valuable human being still we, the human race have. amongst us. he is deeply, deeply important to the potential for this race to survive on this planet in my view, that is why julian sanchez in prison because he's interfering with the accounting plan to steal the plan. it sort of ripened to death and then destroy. it is a disgusting miscarriage of justice. wow. look at guantanamo bay, asked shaka, alma, my friend, i ask anybody who has been in the hands of the u. s. judiciary. and at any point, possibly since the 2nd world war with whom they did not agree. and you will find

that there is no justice to be found in the united states. i am shall angry. and i'm so bad and i'm so disgusted with the united kingdom. oh, i did a radio program last night, john ship, tim was on it and he was extremely eloquent. and i asked him how him, how he manages his grief and, and he was absolutely, he was all moving to listen to. he says, well, he puts it to one side as it goes through his life and his life is entirely devoted to the freeing of his son. so he can go home to his wife and children. and john says that late at night, he may retreat into his melancholy, and i felt my heart lurch in my chest. as i listened to this man saying, and i felt his melancholy hit me like a. i'm

a blow on my chest. we are not going on anywhere at all and our voice is going to get louder and louder and louder. julian sanchez said, free. i can promise you that green reforms and the energy supplying crisis are some of the big questions. they're going to be answered, and you've raised an economic forum. the to day band gathers together, bay head has from the business world and beyond. and is underway in northern italy . is verona, that moody's housing. what has been already sat at the for his, our correspondent, ashanti davinsky. a day full of hunches here eurasian 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 on it. 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 the own regional tradition is tiana lee. he went on to say that a u radian 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 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 allies under european 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 with china and as 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. the use energy crisis was also pulled apart with panelists, saying that the block itself was to blame. energy demand in or european markets increase sick apec significantly in the 1st half of 2020 bond. at the same time gas storage facilities that you was longer than your the last winter. you took cold temperatures that persistent into the spring. as a result, the re injection into a gas storage did not begin until date appear. 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 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 phase next parent company is changing its name to matter. it's sad part of the drive to expand the funds port failure of amps,

which kind else 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 the your name. and they also plans to build and met have as an online world and a virtual environment where people can gain work and communicate. often using v r headsets, elsie's poorly biker, took a glimpse at what it might look like, and how it's being implemented. within a matter of years, if facebook gets it, weigh a lot of us can be spending much of all. i'm looking something like this. hiring

$10000.00 people to create a met us for the low nods out there. i'll let the actual 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 v r headset 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 mess of us is just saying that kill progression from the 2 d 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 are in it and you feel present with other people that 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 slip seamlessly from one virtual world into another. so instead of flying from paris to new york, for example, you'd digital e teleport yourself from facebook, smack of us to google's, or apple's one. i'm from you. boom, as quaking in your booth at the thought of this matter 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 harry bronze have coffee and on to the fact that there's bags of money to be made in the midst of a she'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 of 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 oldest crypto waste, one is called a central and land into central land 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 uses

safety shorter, lead mazda zak, a bug alone. yeah. big bully. and we're just kind of facebook rebranding earlier with our guests. i don't think people are going to necessarily know about the it's interesting when out, when google did it without very few people talked about it. i think the reason people are talking about it with facebook is because facebook definitely gotten everyone to talk about facebook all the time. and they're using the, there is no such thing as bad publicity to get everyone talking about facebook all the time. and i think that that's why that's happening, but short term to medium term. i think that the bigger concern again, is that facebook is using this narrative of big tech is the bad guy. but why are they thing? they're the bad guy because they're letting too much freedom happen on their social media. they're not keeping people safe by controlling what it is you can or can't say. and so again, you know, they will, they will be cordially accept these controls on big tech, which only they will be able to afford the cost of complying with ensuring that

there won't be any new disruptive players in social media and ensuring that you have to go along with whatever controls facebook and twitter and the rest of them put on, well, it's partly the deflection from some of their troubles with the whistleblower 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 bird to own the matter verse to, to be the 1st company to put a stake on the matter for metal verse, 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. coming up after the break this rance of mass starvation noon. so the afghan astound would be one, estimating that over 3000000 children, undefined, our trace of dying from lung nutrition law and that story shortly. oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way?

where are you being led? to direct. what is true? wharf is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex, simon, sure. but i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh, this is anne's international. welcome back. it's been almost 2 months since the tongue of bonds return to power in afghanistan, following the cale sick. he was was tall and the challenges are piling up. and

economic crisis is now being compounded with the threat of my starvation. for many children, the brutal reality of life is clear to say, oh my god, my name is my, 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. a doctor told me that my hand will not work. i dream of continue my studies at school and becoming a doctor. one day. people turn us down some times and they say there is no work, no money, and so they can't give us bread. my name is nancy, i collect plastic race and sell it. i am 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 to 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 where 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. the un now as sways over 3000000 children under 5 r tricycle dying from malnutrition. that's a need they precarious state of the economy, which has been heavily dependent on foreign funds for yes. around 40 percent of his gross domestic product has been international aid. however, for the taliban now in control of the country, a 3rd crisis is not the only problem that had grappling with islamic stage. they taught bonds, long time, enemy has repeatedly staged the tank on the new government and religious minorities . and now the pentagon is expressed consent that tamar groups based in the country,

have intentions to attack the u. s. mainland, within a year. it's all a font crime from they supposed success held the troop withdrawal from afghanistan, that president biden held at the time. 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 k generate that capability somewhere between 6 to 12 months. i think the current assessments by the intelligence community is the al qaeda would take a year or 2 from mission to degrade the terrorist threat of al qaeda in afghanistan and kilo summer, been laud was a success. i believed that our presence left gary stand should be focused on the reason we weren't the 1st place to ensure afghanistan would not be used as a base from which to attack our homeland. again, we did that. we accomplish that objective,

whole append to insecurity. unless michael maloof told us the u. s. was draw, has made it even harder to remove is long state 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 taliban, which is what, sir? against that while they may think that they run canis, then 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, and the ordinance is 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 end 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. process this page was written as a fishing. ryan had escalated, ultra british trawler was seized of its coast and nothing u. k. brussel has been slapped with a fine. this comes out to france, announced it intends to escalation to social rather britain in a bit to gain greater access to british waters. acts the paris has, has been unfairly kept post brag, said the u. k. however, remains defined miss it to tell more. now we have to speak the language of force because unfortunately, this british government only understands that it is very disappointing. to see the comments 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 who boston we are defending our rights. we are defending our fishermen. we are defending the french coast in its economy on me when you sign an agreement, you must respect it. respect, so under the plans which vessels and goods will be effected from november, the 2nd, unless french fishermen receive more licenses to fish and the u. k. waters the measures include barring u. k fishing vessels from diss and banking at french ports and beefs how border checks on u. k. goods and congo. the dispute dates back to 2016 when britain voted to need be you in the years that followed the block and the you case truck a deal where britain offers access to french fisheries. fishers who can prove they previous have fish that paris says only half of french vessels eligible for british fishing license, have been given one, london and tanny's warning that frances ultimatum violates u. u. k. trade agreements and wide international law. busy erna,

we heard from he keeps former spokesperson for shit, fisheries. mike holcomb and mark del, hey, who's the head of norman dis, common committee on fisheries, and they offered their opposing use on the issue. i think it's a president that says that's got an election coming up on the horizon and he's, he's trying to be at the bit of the statesman there and bit of a bully by it. we can see that in bahrain, la pan is doing very well, and along that no french cost and he's look and he's desperate to get those votes back again. we have to be very, very strong, would never ever bowed down to a bullying. and we shouldn't, don't now we shouldn't allow this month of bullying or the french to buller this country. we need to get control of all war to which we were promising. the brakes it were, we promised come to my waters. i don't believe we've got that yet. on it or we've been waiting to get.
