is the largest most powerful employer in such a situation. it's remarkable. the civilized head world has really turned upside down. and what we see now is blatantly bonner study. when was the last time you had a verifiable truth from the united states government that they put out to the public? it is being called a dark day for journalism julian assange supporters lash out at the london hi court's ruling to allow his possible extradition to the united states. yet another hearing is now needed to decide his fate. devastating tornadoes at tara through parts of the us with the death toll in kentucky, alone feared to be more than 70 people. we call on our shop to return to diplomacy and to the escalate. the west urges russia to take the heat out of the ukrainian crisis while sending $60000000.00 worth of

day. we condemned today's u. k. high court decision to allow the expedition of julian so on. so the u. s. which will prove historic for all the wrong reasons. we fully believe that julian saw and just being targeted for his contributions to journalism i now the now people gathered in front of the court condemning the decision. previously, a lower court had blocked sanchez extradition over concerns about his mental health . but it was ruled on friday that that was no longer concern after the u. s. gave assurances that he would not serve any sentence in a maximum security prison or solitary confinement. assumptions. lawyers describe those pledges as vague and unreliable. meanwhile, wiki lakes has just confirmed, the psalms suffered a stroke commit a hearing and october. after the court's ruling, his fiance made an emotional statement 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 form of publisher, journalists of the past, 50 years in a u. k. prison. accuse publishing the truth about or crimes about c, i killed teams. here's a brief recap of the recent back story and 200-1900 1000000 songs was forcefully removed by british police from ecuador to embassy in london. after the country terminated his 7 year asylum there, he had sought refuge after sexual assault. allegation in sweden, which were later dropped the british authorities arrested to him on a separate charge of jumping bail. america wants to be with the legs founder extradited on claims of conspiring to hack a government computers and publishing classified material. we spoke with us

national security agency whistleblower william binnie about the case and also with rafael korea. the former president of ecuador, whose administration gave us on political asylum, brianna and according to what a gift to london court gave to the united states on the human rights day. that's grim irony when human rights nature, the rights of the journalist, are relate hensley lightly. and his sin was telling the truth. even sancha grantly, of the secrets of china, russia, or left wing latin american governments such as mine. carol, if you would be applauded by the mainstream media 100 in the united states congress and the cape parliament. but if you went against the had you money of the united states, you was called a criminal to me, the press is white. looks the other way or even supports this greg down on their colleagues. i mean, it's completely incomprehensible. it could be understood if it was secret information about the location of troops or intelligence facilities is what we're talking about. war crafts. this cannot be a state secret. the world has to know about that can be there must be transparency

. that's what assange day is. that's why he's been punished since 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 date, a violation of the espionage that we're now that the united states law is not a world wide law, is not a law in other countries. so there's a real problem with this to, to bring to court ruling on that issue of the as the espionage extra spending 1st amendment rights. they said that it was justified in time of war blot, as you well, i would point out, we're not in a war now, congress is not declared war and we had no declared war. why are they indicting the a senior editors at least of the, of the guardian, the new york times the washington post. all them who have also published this kind of maturity. 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 did 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 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 laws that they pass. 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. it has not gone unnoticed at the extradition ruling against join us on came not only on human rights day, but also on the same day. the u. s. wrapped up in multinational summit for democracy at which president biden pushed for people to be able to breathe freely. it didn't take long then for the criticism to role in that he was not applying the same principles to join us such. and as we close out the 1st gathering, let's, let's together reaffirm our determination that the future will belong to those who

embrace human dignity. not those who trampled one wish to potential other people at those who stifling and who give her people the ability to breathe free, not those who seek to suffocate their people with an iron hand. this shameful, vertical political case against journalistic and public figure is another manifestation of the cannibalistic worldview 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 a sondors, the disgrace. meanwhile bite in his holding his cynical democracy summit and the hypocrisy and the cruelty. and then there's this while the u. s. is busy promoting democracy and other countries its own seems to be at risk. a stock home base to the think tanks, annual review of democracies around the world has for the 1st time put the u. s. in the back. sliding category. assange freedom campaigner john reese says that

supporting democracy in other countries doesn't mean the u. s. is doing the same at home i think it's remarkable that especially on human rights stays at the judges. in this case, i should've fired, but it would be safe to extradite union assigned to the country where it's security service leave. cia has previously been threatening to hit that old, kill him, the problem with many multiple sites. they're all for a democracy and freedom of speech and a free press, you know, the people's countries but not necessarily in their own. and until we get pass back and forth for see and understand, but freedom of the price is a universal human right? because it's part of freedom of speech. we won't be making very much progress. devastating storms and parts of the central and southern us with the most damage in kentucky, joe biden said it might have been the most disastrous tornado outbreak in us.

history. rescue workers have already found more than 40 missing people amid the damaged buildings. but there are concerns the death told there could exceed $100.00 individuals. shelters have been opened with the help of the red cross. and kentucky's governor has declared a state of emergency inc. local reporter edgar costa has the latest this is the severe destruction that we can see in many places across different states where several tornadoes have. he did really part the worst part. here in mayfield, kentucky. the governor of the state to announce that 70 people lost their life on these trials. you get the so this has been the most devastating tornado event in our states history. the level of devastation is unlike anything i've ever seen. satellite far too many homes, that people were likely an entirely devastated this will be, i believe, the deadliest tornado system to ever run through kentucky. the devastation we can

see here to see the center. he says something that will take a long time to recuperate. but many people took the streets. we can see lots of citizens that got together to do all. they can wendy's hard time. now these images showed the destruction at what was once a candle factory. it's roof collapsing after the tornado struck. authorities say as many as 110 people were inside when the building was hit by the store. now, tornadoes have also re tavin in other parts of the central and southern us. in arkansas, one person is thought to have been killed and 5 seriously injured after a storm damaged nursing home. there many others were trapped inside that building. the severe weather has also claimed at least 3 lives in tennessee. tensions over ukraine are running high with russia slamming of the west for fueling, the escalation and voicing concern at nato's actions in the region. moscow says

they could potentially lead to a large scale conflict. the 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. us revealed on thursday that 30 javelin anti tank missile systems were delivered to ukraine in october as part of a $60000000.00 military aid package. and a further $200000000.00 could be donated. this comes as ukraine accuses russia, sending military assistance to the self proclaimed republics in the east of the country, and claim that moscow denies. however, russia is still being urged to respect borders by both nato and the e military build up in on their own ukraine. this racist tensions undermined security in europe. we call on russia to return to diplomacy and to the

escalate. the about, we expect russia to deescalate and refrain from any aggression towards his neighbors and respect the rights of sovereign state list. to the escalation happened after a ukrainian navy ship called the dumbass, approached rushing waters without authorization on thursday. 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 an unarmed search and rescue vessel that never entered restricted waters or posed to any threat. the vessel did eventually change course. to give you some more perspective, the ship is named after the eastern ukraine region of dun bass, which has been making headlines since 2014. when war broke out there. that unrest has become a seed of discord between kevin moscow and on thursday, russian president vladimir putin compared. what is happening in that region to a war crime? border still is she, i should say that we're supposed be as 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 situation, at least in ukraine at the moment. so i could liken it to the human. it's area and catastrophe. the ward, there's been happening for the last 8 years and i'm there at least $56.00 times a year. i'm going back there in december again. and when talking to people, generally they're saying that we are really tired of this least tell us when is this going to stop? we are talking about the 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 it between the to the size, 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 mask records 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 years here. shelling continues every day and i sometimes further away sometimes closer. but every day when heavy machine guns anti aircraft missiles and heavy artillery with we go down to this basement, we do not go further because it is wet over there. here sitting on the box, my son recently spent almost an hour. but in general, we have not hidden in this basement for a long time. and because now we are used to constant machine gun and artillery shelling and my id is video. the house 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 are they want to link their future with russia more than 300000 so dunbar. so 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 some are the very often the contradict. each other in their mess as their ways how to unite the country once again. for example, just recently, their foreign minister said that the only way to, to stop the conflicts is not dialogue,

but it is through force. so there advocating violence once again. meanwhile, a president zalinski earlier on saturday, he did not exclude a referendum regard regarding the status of both crimea and don boss, so i'm even in t if there isn't a single opinion. so meanwhile, the people continue to suffer in van, but journalist and author thomas fast pender told us that there is a real risk of a full scale european war. there is something that has not been here for decades. that is the perspective of the re perspective of a major european war. so he and now the key for a potential war in europe lives now 100 percent with the, the key of government if key, if the sites to provoke russian invasion. and there will be a russian invasion as soon as g 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 the ukrainian side. so the wisdom narrative says that whatever crimea, whatever key it does to reclaim or even reconquer the breakaway republics, or even crimea, would be executing their sovereign rights on this over in territory. we should hope that, that both washington and moscow and of course, also also paris and bold and understand that there is a real risk of a european war here. an american billionaire and has been forced to surrender stolen antiquities, that he had kept for decades. the case of hedge fund pioneer michael steinhardt has shot archeologists and historians around the world and his collection of plunder, the art is estimated to be worth about $70000000.00. let's now have

a look at some of those items, many of which were apparently stolen and smuggled. they included this one which dates back to 5, b, c, and is worth 3 and a half $1000000.00. and other rare masterpiece is the lar, next a small chest for human remains with an impressive price tag of $1000000.00. and also among them a set of dust masks, dating back to 7000 b. c. steinhardt gave up the treasures as part of a deal, which means he will not face criminal charges. the origins of the looted antiquities stretch across 11 countries. among them, italy, greece, and israel, all robbed of their cultural heritage. experts say the damage inflicted is immeasurable. tombs 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. our common sense passed and this is the,

the biggest crime that it is being performed by looting on the global level. the loss of history, the loss of information. all right, the only hardship for michael steinhart though is a lifetime ban on acquiring any other relics in the future. his lawyer says the collector is very pleased the investigation concluded without any charges, but there is public outrage had what is perceived as a remarkably lenient ruling with most respondents to a poll, insisting that he's gone away too lightly. the justice system in the u. s. was constructed primarily for 2 reasons, punish the poor, protect the wealthy, know 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 sure that all will bits answers to pick up the case. again, my preference would have been to be pressed saturdays and having possibly 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 collective study that these of the objects she was acquiring, or at least should have had very, very strong indications about the possibility of being looted as america is in the grip of surging inflation, not seen since the 1980s with prices rising across many sectors for 6 months in a row. in november, prices for us, consumers jumped nearly 7 percent compared with little more than one percent

a year ago, triggered by the credit virus pandemic, inflation has hit everything from food and energy to house rentals and cars. but the u. s. federal reserve is still hesitant to take serious action to curve this bike, such as raising interest rates. economist peter earl says that higher inflation drives people to take on debt. there's a view that low level inflation is, is good to be 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 of the panoramic is the main factor. that's great. in place right now, last year the federal reserve increased the years money supply by between 30 and 40 percent. and the root cause inflation is lots of money chasing the same or fewer goods and services. so that's the main one that is going to try to lift interest rates due to tamp down of 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 promotes higher levels of debt, which is also a bad thing. here's a weird one. a shop owner in the state of massachusetts is turning the public dislike for joe biden into dollars. unfortunately, selling some unique anti biden merchandise with the slogan, let's go brandon. he says people want to express their discontent with what is happening in the country with a

lot. yeah, i bought this had a lot. this is really cool that i got some other things. insurance in office making a good quality affordable still granted. black, my very dollar with oh

a. i think it's fantastic. i've run out of town and i absolutely love with absolutely job. i'm glad that people are started and defend the right people. my surprises for them and, and you know, college is high school to be. it seemed to be catching on really well. and our customers because we had some news on the truck stores our customers were asking for it. so we started carrying it and it went over, it was taking up 80 percent of our sales. so i said, let's just do it themes store, just let's go brandon sir. and that's how we started. but despite his view that it's all about having different opinions, polls tell us a different story. it turns out that for some in the us, your voting choice may actually be

a good reason not to date you or even talk to you political commentator and our tea contributor lauren chen reveals her own take on who is 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 stands 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 russians 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 so seat 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. take a swing around the globe and look at from other headlines in brief this our yellow vest. protestors have begun a new round of rallies in france. speaking out against mandatory vaccinations and coated passes for entering public places. the movement took off in 2018 again to be my problem that governments social policies such as high in fuel prices.

the someone mass, raleigh to another 1000, hit the streets of vienna on saturday to protest against some of europe's harshest covered restrictions and vaccine. mandate demonstrators held banners calling for freedom against compulsory inoculation. several people were arrested from february 1st. every austrian, over the age of 14 must get a virus job. the 1st country in europe to bring in such was a 4 story residential building in italy has collapsed. apparently, due to a gas explosion, it happened around midnight in the sicilian town of revenue, so the blaze also reportedly spreaded to 2 other nearby buildings before being contained by firefighters. rescue workers are searching the rebel for up to a dozen people,
