journalism bears how julian santa's support is reacted to the british high court ruling that the wiki next founder can be extradited to the united states, washington wanted to appeal against a previous decision blocking, aside from being sent to america to face trial on espionage charges. campaign is slammed the latest ruling which was handed down on the un human rights day. we condemn today's u. k. high court decision to allow the expedition of julian so on, so the us, which will prove historic for all the wrong reasons. we fully believe. but julian saw and has been targeted for his contributions to journalism. back in october, those a to day, harry, i was the united states trying to appeal over numerous grounds, including the fact that it offered an unprecedented package of assurances, as i saw it would not be held under the maximum security the strictest, maximum security conditions in prison. over there and that he isn't on well, this thing he's made out. well, judas sanchez of continue to say that he is indeed after suicide risk. and that all
5:03 am
of these assurances are meaningless and vague as they put it. they said that the united states can reverse any decision, not any point. class is also concerned about the trustworthiness of america's guarantees to pointing to one of those reports in the year that the cia had prompted to kidnap during the saw and put it to kill him. speaking outside the high court here this morning, we've heard from stella morris to partner who is incredibly disappointed and she is saying why and how is this happening for? how long can this go on today is international human rights day? what a shame, how cynical to, how this decision on this day to have one of the foremost the foremost publisher journalists of the past, 50 years in a u. k. prison,
5:04 am
accused of publishing the truth about or crimes about cia killed teams. many people have been supporting her outside here. many, many protests is that also are similar questions. who is a glimmer of hope that you know, the british justice system might actually prevail for once? the british judiciary. this is on every level with the u. s. campaign to get a 10 years, 10 years in the streets of london. public opinion in size a sound. but obviously the judge's decision is not on the side of public opinion. it's absolutely devastating. so she, this time of year to another christmas without doing that is children without their dad stay on the fight to free judy. massage, the choice, we will prevail. eventually, many people outside the high court say, where is the human rights?
5:05 am
in the case of jr and assange, obviously we're still on the foreground of the royal court of justice, that they call it the royal court of injustice. a, just as i said, it was being announced a protest even through eggs at the side, directly behind me, which just goes to show the sentiment and feeling here on the streets of london. well, here's how we got to this point in 2019. julianna's sauce was forcefully removed by british police from ecuador embassy in london. after the country terminated his 7 year asylum there, he saw refuge following sexual assault allegations in sweden, which were later dropped the british authorities arrested though on a separate charge of jumping bail. america wants to wikileaks found,
5:06 am
or expedited on claims of conspiring to hat government computers and publishing classified material. in january this year, the british judge ruled against extradited him over fears about his mental health, but also rejected his bail application claiming he may flee, sharing their reactions with an essay whistleblower, william benny and rafael korea. the former president of ecuador, whose administration gave us on political asylum and of course, what a gift the london court gave to the united states on the human rights day. that's grim irony on human rights state. the rights of the journalist are blatantly violated and his sin was telling the truth. if a sancha revealed the secrets of china, russia, or left wing latin american governments such as mine, he would be applauded by the mainstream media 100 in the united states congress and the cape parliament. but as he went against to had you money, the united states, he was called a criminal. and the press is quite, looks the other way or even supports this crack down on their colleague. it's completely incomprehensible. it could be understood if it was secret information
5:07 am
about the location of troops or intelligence facilities, but we're talking about war crimes. this cannot be a state secret. the world has to know about that. there must be transparency. that's what assange did. so that's why he's being punished. the world has really turned upside down. and what we see now is blatant hypocrisy. it really both bad for freedom and democracy around the world. publishing data in violation of the espionage that. what on that is the united states law is not a, a world wide laws, not in law in other countries. so there's a real problem with this to, to bring court ruling on that issue of the, of the espionage ack. suspending 1st amendment rights. they said it was justified in time of war, but i would point out, we're not in a war now. congress is not declared war. we had no declared war. why aren't they indicting the a senior editors at least of the, of the guardian,
5:08 am
the in new york times the washington post. all them who have also published this kind of material? why aren't they doing that? that's a violation of our laws. they're not equally applying. the law, when was the last time you had a verifiable truth from the united states government that they put out to the public? when, when can you just divide from through other sources and means and method that ability of what they've been telling you can't, they've lied. they lie to congress directly. they get caught lying and they just ignore it. nobody does anything. i mean, they're exempt from the own laws that they pass, that that's why we have here in the united states, 2 sets of laws, one for those of the people and the rest. and those in power have a different set of laws. so can on notice that the extradition ruling against union assange came not only on human rights day, but also on the same day as the us wrapped up. it's a multi national summit for democracy of which president biden pushed for people to be able to breathe freely. during criticism in the process for doing the opposite towards the wiki, next found it. and as we close out, the 1st gathering, let's let,
5:09 am
let us together reaffirm our determination in the future will belong to those who embrace human dignity. not those who trample one wish to potential other people on those who stifling and who give people the ability to breathe free, not those who seek the suffocate their people with an iron hand. this shameful verdict, in a political case against a journalistic and public figure is another manifestation of the cannibalistic world view of the anglo saxon tandem. the west marks international human rights day and the end of the summit for democracy with dignity. this news is devastating. the persecution of julian assange is a disgrace. meanwhile, biden is holding his cynical democracy summit and the hypocrisy and the cruelty. how well the grass is busy promoting democracy in other countries its own seems to be a risk. a stock on base think tanks, annual review if democracy around the world has a for the 1st time, put the u. s. in the backsliding category. a san freedom campaign,
5:10 am
a john reese says that supporting democracy in other countries doesn't mean it's doing the same at home. i think with it's remarkable that especially on human rights day that the judges in this case is, should have found that it would be safe to extradite julian assigned to the country where its security service lead cia has previously been threatening to kidnap or kill him. the problem with many modern states, they're all for a democracy and freedom of speech in a free press, in other people's countries, but not necessarily in their own. and until we get past that hypocrisy and understand. but freedom of the price is a universal human right. because it's part of freedom of speech, will be making very much progress. pensions over ukraine are running high with russia, fleming, the west for fueling, the escalation and voicing concerns at nato's actions in the region. moscow says
5:11 am
they could lead to a large scale conflict. a course has been set to draw ukraine into nato. such irresponsible behavior is an unacceptable threat to our security provoking serious risks for all parties involved up to a large scale conflict in europe. and he has prevailed on thursday. the 30 javelin anti tank missiles systems were delivered to ukraine in october. there's part of a $60000000.00 military aid package. with another $200000000.00 donation, still an option on washington's table. while rushes big out to respect borders by both nato and the a. you miller build up in on their own ukraine, this racist tensions and undermined security in europe. we call on russia to return to diplomacy and to the escalate the about, and we expect russia to de escalate and refrain from any aggression towards his neighbors and respect the rights of sovereign states. on his comes after a ukrainian navy ship that dumbass approached russian waters without authorization
5:12 am
on thursday evening. a move that russia regarded as a threat to the navigational safety of other vessels in the area. ukraine denied all allegations and insisted the ship was just an unarmed search and rescue vessel that never entered restricted waters or post any threat. the vessel did eventually change course and sail away from crimea coach straight to give you some broader perspective. here the eastern ukraine region of dumbass has been making the headlines since 2014, when war broke out there. the rest has become a seat of discourse between care for moscow ever since our senior correspondent morale as they have discussed events in the region with andrew farmer. a some background to all of this. i mean, his latest incident does come against the backdrop of a rapid escalation. hasn't it intentions? in recent weeks between ukraine, m, russia? well, an escalation both rhetorically. we would, we have seen this hysteria reach fever pitch about the situation over ukraine, about potential plans to invaders, some country se,
5:13 am
but the situation on the ground in ukraine is perhaps worse to war because that is where people are dying. people are dying, people are suffering. people are going through hell and have been going through hell for many years now. we have, we have seen the united states pacifically, pumping weapons into you credit for the ukrainian military and these weapons b, b, b, they a javelin miss are supplied by the united states or by iraq thought drones supplied by turkey. these are weapons that are flowing into ukraine and immediately going to the conflicts of where the civil war is being fought in the east of ukraine. there are more than 2000000 civilians are trapped in the conflicts own in east the new crate. and they're just having to break it out, people going to sending their kids to school. they will have to worry about a tang cello, a motor around landing there on the grounds of the school. vladimir putin is like and what is happening to a walker source. let's see,
5:14 am
i should say that russo phobias the 1st step towards genocide. what's going on and on bass now very much resembles genocide. we see it and we know about it. the western narrative on this is potential rush and aggression. amassing it shapes within its own borders on the edge we with ukraine, but very little said about ukraine's actions in recent weeks. or we hear about is these potential plans emanating from the she i of the white house, the british government. these plans that no one previously knew about that russia was planning to invade. a huge area of ukraine does unclear how they would be able to achieve this with, with, even if we believe the c i and others with, with such a small force. but let's look at what is happening again on the ground. you have the o. s. c. that reporting on sees fire violation, so their work is constant and round the clock. ukrainian, artillery and forces destroyed or damaged 5 times more civilian infrastructure
5:15 am
at schools at workplaces, people's homes. 5 times more infrastructure was destroyed and damaged by ukrainian forces, the vice versa. you also have the situation in which ukraine still still 6 years on, refuses to negotiate with the breakaway republics. aside from that, they're also all manner of promises and assurances that ukraine keeps on hearing from, from britain, from the united states that they've got their back, that thou help them, that they'll keep the russians awake. and what i, what that does is it emboldens you credit. and unfortunately, the situation is such that aside from very one sided coverage, you have a situation in which piece simply isn't desirable journalist an ortho thomas fast vendor explained to us that there's a real risk of a full scale european war. there is a something that has not been here for decades. that is of the perspective, the real perspective of. busy a major european war, so he and now the key for
5:16 am
a potential war in europe lives now 100 percent with the key of government. if key, if decides to provoke a russian invasion and then there will be a russian invasion. as soon as key of starts a major offensive against the break of a republics, in that case automatically. busy the blank check will be full of western support for your brain inside. so the western narrative says that whatever crimea, or whatever a key if does to reclaim or even reconquer the break away republics, or even crimea, would be executing their sovereign rights on their sovereign territory. and we should hope that both the washington and moscow and of course, all to also perez and berlin understand that there is a real risk of
5:17 am
a european war here without saying all the way bad news for american shoppers is price is search to where they are 40 year hide, we'll tell you about that among our stories after the break. with no, we've talked about the rising cancer, civil war and american. and it can either be between the have yards and the have nots. it could be between the big coin staves, like texas or florida, between the non bitcoin states. but the rising tension is capital because the rise in clinical efficient as is now in a spread between the very top and in the bottom is getting extremely wide. ah
5:18 am
ah ah, another of our headline stories and an american billionaires be forced to surrender antiquities that he'd been hoarding for decades. the case of hedge fund, pioneer and philanthropists, michael steinhart, and so shocked archaeologists. and historians of the world over his collection of plundered art is estimated to be worth about $17000000.00. let's take a look. so those precious items there,
5:19 am
many of which were looted and illegally smuggled one is the stags head right and crafted in the 5th century b. c. today worth around 3 and a half $1000000.00. another ran masterpiece. was the lawn acts. it's a small chest of human remains a to has an impressive one, a $1000000.00 price tag, and among the ancient artifacts, a set of these gorgeous death mask stating back to $7000.00 b c. now the rub for his critics is that style hard gave up the treasures as part of a deal, which means that he won't face any criminal charges. the geographical origins of these looted antiquities, stretch across 11 countries. among them, italy, greece, israel, all robbed of part of their cultural heritage. now experts say that the damage inflicted is immeasurable. jim stubbs has been done to the countries of origin. you're looking to call sites. the main damage is cultural in the sense that we are losing the history of his objects out of common set of past. and this is the,
5:20 am
the biggest can i am that it is being performed by looting on the global level, the loss of history, the loss of information on how to michael steinhoff though is a lifetime ban on acquiring any other relics in the future. and this public outrage at that with the overwhelming majority of respondents to uphold, insisting on greater punishment for the billing at the justice system in the us was constructed primarily for 2 reasons. punished the poor, protect the wealthy. no jail for the rich and powerful. this country has been sold to the highest bidders. our country's legal system as a joke, stolen 70000000 in art, and no jail time. i remember again louisiana getting 40 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread because he was starving. there is no justice if you're rich, i'm sure that all there will be chances to pick up the case. again, my preference would have been to be breasts are, do some carving,
5:21 am
could possibly earn a conviction as well. i'm not very happy or above. the final result, it is demonstrated very clearly that michael's thank other knew that there were serious problems with the provenance the collect the history that these off the objects she was acquiring or at least should cup god very, very strong indications about her the possibility of being looted there's objects of talking a painful price as america's in the grip of surging inflation levels not seen since the 1980s. the price is searching across many sectors for 6 months in a row. in november, prices for u. s. consumers jump nearly 7 percent compared with just 1.25 percent a year ago, triggered by the corona virus pandemic inflation set. everything from food to energy and from health rentals to cars. but the u. s. federal reserve is still hesitant to take serious action to curb the spike,
5:22 am
such as raising interest rate. economist peter earl told us that higher inflation drives people to take on debt. there's a view that low level inflation is, is good for the economy. i'm not sure. i subscribe to that, but certainly the kind of place we're seeing now is a very pernicious that makes life doubt as many aspects of the economy in many ways in the pandemic, or rather, the central banking response of the pandemic is the main factor that's creating in place right now, last year the federal reserve increase the years wanted to supply by between 30 and 40 percent. and the root cause inflation is lots of money chasing the same are fewer goods and services. so that's the main one that is going to try to lift interest rates to, to tamp down of this in place. but they can't do they stop to open market bond purchases? nate said they won't stop back until april or may of next year. so it's gonna be a while this employees may get a bit higher before they're able to do that. it will really benefit from high inflation, systematically r, r, r r creditors. because you take debt and inflation rises, you wind up paying off that debt in cheaper, which is a mess,
5:23 am
less valuable currency, whether it's dollars or pounds or whatever. so in a sense, we should hires a inflation rather promotes a higher levels of debt, which is also a bad thing. longer of the president, biden's handling of the economy isn't bad news for everyone. putting entrepreneur in the state of massachusetts is tending that this likened to dollars, and i went up a shop selling some unique and dividing merchandise. the owner says his customers feel deeply unhappy with what's going on in that country. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm mm mm mm mm. mm mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. yeah, i bought this hat. i thought this is really cool that i got some other things in the office making
5:24 am
a good quality affordable still granite black. my there a dollar a a oh oh oh oh no. i think it's fantastic. i'm from how to tell and i have a absolutely job. i'm glad that you are satisfied with people most surprises
5:25 am
for them. i know that people have always had different views, but this is not about the division. this is about unhappiness with our president and what's going on in our country. there are some liberals that are definitely on board, unhappiness that they have with our leader right now. our president is not doing what he said he was going to do and what the people want. and there's a lot of different major topics that are issues with our president. people were chanting in the stands and you know, colleges. busy high schools, it seems to be a seem to be catching on really well in our customers because we had some new england for trump stores our customers were asking for it. so we started carrying it in. it went over, it was taking up 80 percent of our sales. so i said, let's just do a themed store. just let's go brandon store. and that's how we started close
5:26 am
my case view that it's all about having different opinions polls tell a different story. it turns out that for some of the us, your voting choice may actually be a reason not to engage with you at any level. artie contributes a lauren chen reveals who's selling the division today. the progressive left and really democrats in general, loved to think of themselves as the party of tolerance, openness, acceptance, and just in general, good things, sunshine and rainbows. and so predictably, when it comes to discussing polarization in america, or who exactly is responsible for increasing harsh political sentiments, it's very easy for people on the left to point the finger at their conservative counterparts. i mean, clearly the political environment is getting more and more hostile and if the left stands for all of these positive things, then it must stand to reason that the right is behind all of the bad things. but now one poll, which asked respondents whether they would be willing to engage in different types
5:27 am
of relationships, both personal and professional, with people who voted for a different presidential candidate than they did is chipping away at the idea that the left is necessarily the group that is most tolerant and open when asked whether they would go out on a date with someone who voted for an opposing presidential candidate. 31 percent of republican said no compared to a whopping 71 percent of democrats. who said that they would not go out on a date with someone who had voted for the opposing party, even when we look at less personal relationships. the divide between who democrats and republicans are or are not willing to engage with, remains pretty stark. when asked whether they would shop at or support a business of someone who voted for the opposing presidential candidate, only 7 percent of republicans said no compared to 41 percent of democrats. additionally, 5 percent of republicans said that they would not be friends with someone who voted for the opposing presidential candidate. meanwhile, a massive 37 percent of democrats said that they would not want to be friends with someone who did not vote for the person. they voted for 7 percent of republicans,
5:28 am
said that they would not work for someone who voted for the opposing presidential candidate, compared to 30 percent of democrats, who said the same as you can see regardless of the specific type of relationship involved, whether it's a personal or business, one, democrats are consistently more likely than republicans to say that they would reject someone who voted for a, for a presidential candidate than they did. and i think it's pretty obvious to say that refusing to go out on a deal with someone or shop at their store or be friends with them because of who they voted for, isn't a very tolerant or open thing to do. and so looking at this data, many of us, especially those of us who are republicans or conservative, might say that a kind of seems like if there is division in this country, it is mostly being driven by democrats who refused to engage or have relationships with or be friends with people who have different political opinions. so essentially, democrats may very well believe that they aren't the ones driving division. they are simply standing up to the unacceptable behavior and views that are displayed amongst republicans. well, that is an interesting theory,
5:29 am
but to that i have another survey that once more leads democrats holding the short end of the stick in his book, the righteous mind, social psychologist jonathan. hi, did some very illuminating research into how different people perceive opposing political parties. the results were clear and consistent moderates and conservatives were most accurate in their predictions, whether they were pretending to be liberals or conservatives. liberals were the least accurate, especially those who described themselves as very liberal. and i continued to note that the biggest errors in the whole study came when liberals answered the care and fairness questions while pretending to be conservative. so ultimately, yes, political division in america is very real and much of it is being driven by democrats and people on the left. and what is so frustrating about all of this? no one should be forced to associate with someone that they really don't want to. but if you are choosing to cut ties with someone over political differences, in my opinion, the least you could do is make certain that those political differences are in fact
5:30 am
real. ok, that's it for me. thanks for watching. in the next half hour, margaret, all t programs for you that under pharma will be here to up that you are the world stories were across this week. oh, a breaking coil. forced labor stress. industrial injury corporal punishment.
