it's all about strategic polarization. an attempt at values based diplomacy world has really turned upside down and what we see now is blade and he bought it and when was the last time you were a verifiable truth from the united states government did that they put out to the pub is being called a dark day for journalism, the julianna's sanchez support is lashing out of the london high court ruling to allow is possible expedition to the united states. yet another hearings now needed to decide his fate. we fall on russia to return to diplomacy and to the escalating, the west heard his russia to take the heat out of the ukrainian crisis while sending at the same time $60000000.00 worth of military aid to keith and his reportedly considering more plus the curious tale of the american billionaire forced to return $17000000.00 worth of stolen antiquities. he'd been hoarding for

decades. but there's big anger after it's been revealed. he won't face any criminal charges. ah! why from moscow? welcome to art internationals, world news at 11 with me. kevin, how it so than a dark day for journalism, that's how supported during the sounds of reacted to the british high court ruling . the wikileaks found that can be extradited to the united states. washington won its appeal against a previous decision blocking assange from being sent to america to face trial campaign. a slammed this latest ruling which was handed down on the u. n's. human rights day. we condemn today's u. k. high court decision to allow the expedition of julian songs to the us, which will prove historic for all the wrong reasons. we fully believe that julian

assault has been targeted for its contributions to journalism. now now people gathered in front of the court condemning the decision. previously, a lower court had blocked the sizes, extradition of the concerns about his mental health. but since this ruled on friday, that was no longer a concern. after the u. s. gave assurances that he would not serve any sentence in a maximum security prison or solitary confinement. sounds as low as though described. those pledges as vague and unreliable. his fiance made an emotional state, but after the analysis for how long can this go on today is international human rights day? what a shame, how cynical, how this decision on this day to have one of the foremost the foremost publisher journalists of the past, 50 years in the u. k. prison. accuse of publishing the truth

about or crimes about the i killed him. is a brief recap of the recent history and 2019, during the songs was forcibly removed by british police from ecuador embassy, london, after the country terminated his 7 years solemn. these pictures, by the way, from roughly video agency, they went around the world of the time he saw refuge after sexual assault allegations and sweden, which relate to dropped the british authorities arrested him on a separate charge of jumping bail. now america still wants the wiki league, sand extradited on claims of conspiring to her government computers and publishing classified material. we spoke with us national security agency, whistleblower william benny about the case and also with refilled career for the former president of ecuador, whose administration it was the gave assange political asylum only according to what a gift du 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 assange 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 the had you money of 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 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. 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 and violation of the espionage act. what on that is the united

states law? it's not a world wide laws, not in law in other countries. so there's a real problem with this to debrief court ruling on that issue of the, of the espionage ack. suspending 1st amendment rights. they said it was justified in time of war. well, 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, 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 methods that validity 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. and it's not gone unnoticed of the extradition ruling against children. assange came not only on human rights day, but also on the same day. the u. s. wrapped up its multinational summit for democracy, which president biden pushed for people to be able to breathe freely. didn't take long them for the criticism to role in that he was not supplying the same principles to julian, the son. and as we close out the 1st gathering, let's let us together reaffirm our determination in the future will belong to those who embrace human dignity. not those who tramp, one wish to potential other people on those who stifle and who gives 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 the 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. and then there's this while the u. s. is busy promoting democracy in other countries, it's own the same as to be at risk, stockholm based. think tags, annual review of democracies around the world has put for the 1st time, the us in the back sliding category. assange freedom campaign, a john reese telling us that supporting democracy in other countries doesn't mean the u. s. is doing the same at home. i think with it's remarkable that are especially on human rights day that the judges in this case should have found that it would be safe to extradite union assigned to the country where it security

services sleep c i a has previously been threatening to hit that all kill him the problem with many modern states. they're all for our 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 press is a universal human right because it's part of freedom of speech. we won't be making very much progress more than 70 people or thoughts have died after parts of kentucky were devastated by the worst tornadoes in the states. history with fairs that the overall death toll could exceed a 100 before the end of the day. storms tearing across parts of the central and southern us with the kentucky governor, declaring a state of emergency. this has been the most devastating tornado event in our state's history. the level of devastation is unlike anything i've ever seen.

satellite far too many homes that people were likely entirely devastated. this will be, i believe, the deadliest tornado system to ever run through kentucky. one of the worst places is the city of mayfield and kentucky. one of these pictures, what you're looking at there was a candle factory before the storm struck its roof collapsing after the tornado. according to officials, as many as 110 people were inside. the building when it was hit by those winds. meantime, the state of illinois workers were trapped inside an amazon in warehouse. we think still our offering roof was hit by a tornado and collapse. local media reporting that some employees have been rescued, but up to 100 people are inside of the time. there are reports a possible death, but the number of victims is not yet known. and neighboring are console one person's thoughts have been killed and 5 seriously injured off the same storm damage the nursing home there many of those trucks inside the building,

the severe weather is also playing 3 lives in tennessee. tensions over ukraine are running high with russia, slamming the west of fueling, the escalation and voicing concern nato's actions in the region. moscow says they could potentially lead to a large scale conflict. a course has been set to drop ukraine into needs. such irresponsible behavior is an unacceptable threat to security provoking serious risk for all parties involved up to a large scale conflict in europe. the u. s. revealed on thursday that 30 javelin anti tank missile systems have been delivered to your credit tobar as part of a $60000000.00 military aid package. and for the $200000000.00 could be donated. its coming as ukraine accuses russia of sending military assistance to the self proclaimed republics in the east of the country, a claim that moscow denies. however, russia is still being urged to respect borders by both nato and the

e. u mil to build up in their own ukraine. this races tensions and undermined security in europe. we call on russia to, to turn to diplomacy and to de escalate the about, and we expect russia to de escalate and refrain from any aggression towards his neighbors and respect the rights of sovereign stated. the escalation happened after a ukrainian navy ship approached russia was as couple of meetings ago with that. authorization was thursday evening movement. russia recorded as a threat to the navigational safety for the vessels in the area. ukraine denied all allegations that assisted ship was unarmed to search and rescue vessel. they said that never entered restricted waters. all posed any threat vessel did eventually change course, but there was a fuss over it. give you more perspective to, it's called the bus that ship named and after the eastern ukraine region of dumbass, which has been making all those headlines since 2014, when war broke out, the rest has become a see the discord between moscow and on thursday,

russian president vladimir putin like and what's happening in the region to a war crime, sorta. so she, 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, which is the situation, at least in ukraine at the moment. so i could liken it to a human, its area and catastrophe. the war there has been happening for the last 8 years and i'm there at least 56 times a year. i'm going back there in december again. and when talking to people generally, ah, they're saying that we are really tired of this least tell us when is this going to stop? we are talking about escalations there from time to time, but said to tell you honestly, the escalation hasn't stopped in the last 8 years. people that live along the front lines, they're constantly being shelled out of the the with artillery. there's

a small arms fire bill between the 2 sides, both sides of blaming each other for violating the truce. um, you know that there are minsk records that are in place there that are supposed to prevent the sides from worrying against each other however, and has been proven recently as well. ukraine continues to violate those minsk accords by using a heavily armed drawings along the front lines. are they using a high caliber artillery and of course the people there. i mean, they see with their own eyes that sir have a listen to what the people are saying. there's be your machine and continues every day. sometimes fed away, sometimes closer. but every day, heavy machine guns and aircraft missiles and heavy artillery. good. we go down to this basement. we do not go further because it is wet over there. here sitting on a box. my son recently spent almost an hour. but in general,

we have not hidden in this basement for a long time. because now we are used to constant machine gun and artillery shelling . only it is video. the i am living in was simply given to me by ordinary people because my real house was bombed in january 2014 and my daughters in july. people have a different opinions as to how this conflict with and so once again i'm talking about a regular people. i, this conflict is very close to my heart because i do have relatives there as well. the majority, a large majority of the people they want to link their future with russia more than $300000.00 so done, boss, residents have already received a russian citizenship now ukrainian officials, they're still hoping for a united country, but people in the government serve there are just as many opinions regarding this, the solution of the conflict as there are officials, but the very often they contradict each other in their methods their ways how to

unite the country. once again. for example, just recently, their foreign minister said that the only way to, to, to stop the conflict is not dialogue, but it is through force. so there advocating violence once again. meanwhile, our president zalinski earlier on saturday, he did not exclude a referendum regard regarding the status of both crimea and don boss, so even in t, if there isn't a single opinion. so meanwhile, the people continue to suffer in van, but jealous, north of thomas fast band are telling us is a real risk of a full scale european war. maybe there is. so something that has not been here for decades. that is the perspective, the real perspective or for a major european war. so he and now the key for a potential war in europe lives now 100 percent with the key of government. if key,

if decides to provoke a russian invasion and that 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 shack will be full of western support for the ukrainian side. so the western narrative says that whatever crimea, or whatever a key if does to reclaim or even reconquer the breakaway 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 wall. so paris and berlin understand that there is a real risk of a european war here on the way this is coming. tis the season to be jolly bad.

bad news for american shoppers is price is search to any a 40 year high. we're going to talk more about the spiraling inflation there. what is going to me as well where it's going to go after the break off international? ah . oh, driven by dreamer shapes bankers are those with dares sinks. we dare to ask

ah ah the logan and american billionaire, now the story about him has been forced to surrender stolen antiquities that he can for decades. the curious case of hedge fund pioneer. michael steinhart is shocked archaeologists, and historians around the world. his collection of plumbed it out. his estimates be

worth but $70000000.00 though. well, let's look at what we're talking about here. many of these items were partly stolen, smuggled they include it, we go big list coming up. one item, which dates back to 5, b, c is worth 3 and a half $1000000.00. then this, this red masterpiece called the lawn x. the small chest of human remains with an impressive price tag of a $1000000.00. and what about these stun as a set of death masks dating, but to 7000 b c. while ok steinhardt gave up. the treasures is part of a deal, which means he will not face criminal charges. the origins of the looted antiquity stretch across 11 countries, bring them up, let's see where from italy, greece also from israel to experts say the damage inflicted is measurable stubs has been done to the countries of origin, sociological 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, the biggest can i am that it is being performed by looting on a global level. the loss of history and loss of information seems the only hardship for my co steinhardt though is a lifetime band and acquiring any more of these kind of things of the relics and future is low. it says the collector's, very pleased, the investigation concluded without any charges, but this public outrage, it was perceived as a remarkably lenient ruling and sentence. with most respondents to a poll, insisting he got away far too lightly. the just the system in the us was constructed primarily for 2 reasons. punish 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 a guy in 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 sort of on the will bits, answers to pick up the case. again, my preference would have been to be pressed saturdays and having a possibility, a conviction as well. i'm not very happy about the final result. it has demonstrated very clearly that michael stein knew that there were serious problems with the provenance, the collecting study that these of the objects he was acquiring, or at least, should have had that a very strong indications about the possibility of being looted his objects. the american river surging inflation not seems, is the 1980s with prices rising across many sectors for 6 months in

a row in november prices for us consumers junk, nearly 7 percent compared with a little more than one percent a year ago. all triggered mainly by the corona virus, pandemic inflation sid. everything from food to energy, the house rentals to cause. but the us fed reserve still hesitant to take big action to curb this spike like raising interest rates. i spoke to economists, peter earl, he says the higher inflation drives people to take on more debt. there's a view that low low level inflation is, is good to the economy. i'm not sure i subscribe to that, but certainly the kind of inflation we're seeing now is very pernicious and it breaks down as many aspects of the economy in many ways the pandemic, or rather the central begging response to the panoramic is the main factor that's creating in place right now, last year the federal reserve increased the years. one is our supply by between 30 and 40 percent, and the root cause inflation has 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 due to

tamp down to this question, but they can't do they stop to open market bond purchases and they said they won't stop that until april or may of next year. so give me a while, was in place, may get a bit higher before they're able to do that. they don't even really benefit from high inflation, systematically or creditors. because if you take debt and inflation rises, you wind up paying off that debt in cheaper, which is a mess, less valuable currency, whether it's dollars or pounds or whatever. so in a sense, hires inflation rather promote higher levels of debt, which is also a bad thing. but seems an grove of president biden's handling of the economy isn't bad news for everybody still when the blows nobody, any good. they say a budding entrepreneur in the state of massachusetts is turning the dislike into dollars and has opened a shop selling some unique anti by merchandise. the oldest says his customers feel deeply unhappy with what's happening in their country at the moment. 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 and i thought this is really cool that i got some other things insurance in office making a good quality order. still granted labrador with

oh a. i think it's fantastic. i'm from out of town and i absolutely great, absolutely job. i'm glad that people are and defend their right people, most surprises for them. and in colleges high schools, it seems to be, it seemed to be catching on really well in our customers because we had some new england but from stores our customers were asking for it. so we started carrying it and it went. busy over it was taking up 80 percent of our sales. so i said, let's just do a theme store just let's go branded store. and that's how we started. but

despite his view that it is all about having different opinions, poles, tell us a different story. it turns that for some in the u. s. u voting choice may actually be a good reason not to date you even told to political commentator, nazi contributed lauren change across that than really sewing 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 ends for all of these positive. 7 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 of relationships,

both personal and professional, with people who voted for a different presidential candidate than they did. 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. 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, 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 one liberals answered the care and fairness nations 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 real. lauren chin, no fear the headlines and brief like to tell you about. finally, yellow vest protests is seeing here, beginning a new round of rallies in france, demonstrates his demands include the removal of mandatory coven inoculation. they also want to scrap requiring the,

requiring houses to get into public places. the movement took off in 2018 against them across government, social policies, such as hikes in fuel prices, but continued variously since then. oh, i'm from one mass rally to another thousands of hit the streets of vienna saturday to protest against some of the europe's harsh as cobra restrictions and vaccine mandates demonstrate has held banners, calling for freedom against compulsory nor collation several were arrested from february. the 1st next year, every austrian, over the age of 40, must get a corona virus job. the 1st country in europe to bring in those con rules. while in mexico, around $200.00 central american migrants are reported to be marching to mexico city water, march studies. what a long trek, where they hope to eventually travel further north and get into the u. s. each. here thousands of people, flake,

poverty and violence. cross mexico southern border from guatemala, many marching in large numbers for safety. the president, guatemala, is blamed. president biden, for these kind of caravans highlighting the democrats lukewarm rhetoric on illegal immigration of us are te internationals world news at 11 with me, kevin, and thanks for watching this weekend and take the time to check in. stop by for the man on the show. they call the guys a report on there. just 90 seconds away with scientific knowledge has never been so readily available to everyone across the globe, but overwhelmed by information. can we distinguish the real science from the one being imposed upon us? we're living in a world where there are many people who have a vested interest in finding information, finding scientific evidence, and discrediting even the notion that science could provide the truth about the

natural world in the pursuit of business. go.
