for you to find something to believe on, story is a story of ho story, victory, whatever i can do to help him. i went to a new york times and other mainstream media outlets. long quizzes, size whistle blow julian songs, and now calling for the government and toby's case against him, say as an affront to freedom of the press. no good if i was. busy within russia, i'm the u. s. a less than a day before they're supposed to begin without any explanation kenya, host, yet another round of people seeking to and, and never faith in conflict. the democratic republic of congo near the rwandan border with

their wandering around really where ever you are the world. welcome to international is just policy our. it's great to have you with us. i'm at my mommy. let's take a look at today's top stories. julie nathan, who was facing life in prison for a publishing secret u. s. documents that he says exposed american war crimes has found some unlikely allies in the mainstream with the media. the new york times the guardian and several other outlets that long insisted a fond was. no hero, backtracked, and at now saying the u. s. government must end it's case this group of editors and publishers, all of whom had worked with the sancha, felt the need to publicly criticize his conduct in 2011. but we come together now to express our grave concerns about the continued prosecution of julian, a sorry for obtaining and publishing classified materials. this indictment sets

a dangerous precedent and threatens to undermine americans 1st amendment and the freedom of the press. plesco flood as i think our islam and caleb movement is in new york. caleb great to see. so was this sudden backtracked by some of these with some media outlets? well, it certainly makes sense that major news outlets would speak up about the fact that a journalist who published information has been stripped of his human rights as being threatened with extra dish and prosecutes and under the espionage act in the united states. but what many have note it is that this statement seems to very much contradict the town of these publications earlier. and we will note that when julian assigned was being held up in the ecuadorian embassy and when he was dragged out of the ecuadorian embassy, these publications weren't speaking up on his behalf. rather they were helping to build the case by this marching his character running him through the mud. this is

what they were saying at the time. he has proved a highly problematic even embarrassing champion for the principles of press freedom in the public's right to information. even mister a sanchez friends have described him as difficult a narcissist with an outside view of his importance. it's probably too late for assange to recover his former glory. but if you could give up his futile struggle against extradition and show a little respect to the spirit of justice system, that would at least be a 1st necessary step. now it's also important to note that these words from these publications that now say they support mr. sanchez, they echoed a full blown media campaign to essentially demonize during assigned to justify any state repression levied against him. it was a full blown mainstream media assault to justify what was happening. let's review what was being set on television at the time. for a decade, oh,

governments of the world have tried to shut, we can leaks down. and today, julian assange, the head of wiki leaks, and draco malfoy, biological father has finally been arrested. you can tell that living inside the m c for 7 years has taken its toll here he is back in 2012. yeah. not compare that to today. i mean, oh amazing. the guy went in looking like draco malfoy came out with like dumbledore wiki lease founder julianna's songs was also arrested in london where he was dragged out of the ecuadorian embassy, looking like santa claus with a manifesto. ah, you're all not a i haven't on my right look, look at him, look in just a few years. he went from bond villain to crowd surfing hobbits. now while focusing on obscure criticisms of hassan just personality or his appearance, mainstream media seemed to have forgotten what he reveal. review the revelations about real crimes and real scandals that came to light duty to work

a wiki leaks in a

now the biden administration has given no indication that they have any intention of dropping the charges or the expedition case against julian a saw the u. s. department of justice as they continue to pursue ex extradition and that they will continue to pursue extradition for the time being. now the you carry home secretary did approve the extradition of julian assange because u. s. officials have promised to treat him humanely, whatever that me. so at the moment you innocent is legal team is appealing that decision that he would be expedited to the united states. okay, thanks so much the rest of the stayed on la. oh is that so can do. thanks for joining us. you can say this but now in nuclear disarmament tells us in russia and at the u. s. over unexpectedly, the spurn. just a day ahead of a scheduled meeting in cairo. rashanda us would you to discuss resuming mutual

inspections on the, the new strategy teams arms reduction, treating commonly known as thought. now ortiz maria phenomena has the details. when i hear from russia's foreign ministry, that the session of the bilateral consultative commission on the russian american star treaty, there was supposed to begin its work on tuesday in cairo. and last for 8 days has been postponed to a later day to the ministry does not indicate the reason for that. but i have to say that it was very unexpected. our tea crew may, including what's supposed to be there on the ground covering these important talks . and we only learned about it cancelled 5 hours before the flight to the egyptian capital. and we are now waiting for the new dates to be announced. and i have to say that these talks have been very much anticipated by both sides and by the rest of the world. of course, there were some positive vibes from moscow and washington ahead of the meeting. the new start treaty is, is the only agreement to date that he's left out there,

regulating the world's 2 largest strategic arsenals. the key nuclear arms control agreement, of course, very important. it was last extended back in 2021 for the next 5 years. and according to this agreement, moscow and washington was supposed to inspect each other's weapons size, but 1st, the inspections had been cancelled due to pandemic. and then earlier this year, again, there were obstacles, obviously, because the relations between the 2 countries deteriorated dramatically. following russia's special mil to reparation in ukraine. the main objection of the making between the officials from america and russia, both military personnel and diplomats in cairo was of course to make sure that these very important on site inspections, resume. and now with the talks postponed, there is no immediate or clear answer to when or east the 2 countries can back to discuss this important issue. kenya up next arcadia has begun hosting

yet another rather piece talks to try to resolve a conflict in the democratic republic of congo mirrors border with rwanda. and she says include ro under and several other countries within the east african committee . but notably the major in certain group fighting in the conflict the n 23 was not invited to this plan of talks. after previous of cold clenched in the angolan capital of luanda failed to take hold. now local reporter armande altino sent off this report from the gathering in nairobi. it's hardly double when he's done oh amory for increase on security. either eastern b or c us just kicked off in there will be today. these come to the week of the pending and hopefully we can put out fees and now posing other corrected if a thin ability of the in that he's up, we can community the, if he had to physical mid to lucky to get into that into a, in the region,

meanwhile, the country that i'm saying they want a piece, i thought how committed to working together to ensure that conflict escalade in the east and yet see the m t m b 3 level groups have also expressed interest in making the for president, looking at the inmate of missouri and we have never attacked the state armed forces at all times. it has been the coalition of various military groups that has attacked our positions. we are respectful of the ceasefire. we want a peaceful outcome for this crisis. and we take note of the summit in lawanda. we must tell the government to respect the ceasefire because we have taken note of this road map. we ask the facilitators to come and communicate with us because we want to communicate with them was we demand that they also listen to us. the people on the ground and hoping that the sort of unity by their leader. we'll just let it decrease in the eastern vfc is done yet. see now we heard from caroline on dearie, a conflict management and international politics expert act kenyata, university,

nairobi. and she expressed high hopes for the folks we are treated well, that is going to be quite substantial. latimer, it comes all wow. the development of the piece. and we owe that of course, basically b c t. now that is a member of based africa corporation, of course they suffered operations. all the ad pool is to see that the members are strong in there or need to go. i did find a a. now these are some of that absolutely necessary to let you know that to eat, we want to say so that a strong strong yes to like other members because it is in that way that they suffer under region able to grow and the movie

authorities have pulled dana stud sheila 19th century gym and murphy leda. but i'm could this have slammed the symbol of course oppression, but the law monster moved removal has actually elicited mixed feelings from local residents. i personally feel like a stitch of good from friendship was supposed to be taken down lee, so he became independence when we became opinions and i really do in the power to minority in people to suffer it. i don't personally think it's a good idea to remove statues and things that are kind of a long history. but i can understand of your point of people who feel it doesn't represent the countries and it's nothing we want to portray. so i, i can see that point of view and you know, if it gets removed to probably go somewhere where we go to a few history like them, like a museum. we should still have a place to for people to see those to see what the past was.

a message to committing genocide in namibia during the colonial era. and promised to pay more than a 1000000000 euros as a gesture of a talent. but namibia has been trying to negotiate the deal saying it's insufficient. local journalist jim, my, my booker says, germany has not yet made adequate payments in the bins who deserve restitution. there's an overwhelming demand from young people wanted the colonize the street, and they feel that especially given that germany has not played or is refusing to pay at a price, as is to modify the affected communities and to communicate directly to the effects of communities. they feel that you need to move the youth in particular, feel sad. i'm all set all colonial. i see. just need to be moved. people need

to understand why it is taken down because it, when it was taken down, it started and people started asking why even some people didn't even quite understand good when friends it was. so people started to ask for some friends or was those that, that you know, and those who didn't know that he was responsible for the death of many now women and children and know in a movie a you do not need any form of reminder in the end, you remind in the form of a statue of a german or colonial commander to be reminded of the genocide that took place returns on the economist magazine says the winter cold could kill more europeans and all the combat deaths in ukraine. as the content struggles with energy shows, that is all the worse for me to try to pin the blame on russia all to contribute to rachel miles and look further into the claims economist decided to calculate how many more deaths there could be in europe this year. as

a result of the skyrocketing cost of heating. now, according to this model that they came up with the number of people dying in the e u because they have a higher chance of catching a virus or if they're immune systems are run down from the cold. and they're all huddled inside together to keep warm means that they could probably facilitate the spread of the virus among them. well, they're saying that all of that is probably going to be higher than the total number of soldiers who have perished in the ukraine conflict. very different messages than we've been hearing from europe, ian officials, who despite kind of panicking that we're beginning, get gas from, keep repeating that the blah doesn't need russian energy. but is the economist pointing fingers at european officials for mismanaging the situation are not doing enough to help households in europe? no, of course, it's not. instead, they're referring to the quote death toll from mr. putin's energy weapon,

and blaming him for cutting off the top. nice revisionist history there, but it's no doubt easier to deflect. blame for the use own misguided policies on to vladimir putin rather than take responsibility. here's a german member of parliament from the left party. however, placing the blame squarely on the german government and you officials back in september did send off the high energy tariffs much higher than manny. all the european countries did not pull from this chi. now the result of policies truly have the dumbest government in europe. when you look at it, the biggest problem is yolk from the idea to unleash an unprecedented economic war against our most important outage a supplier. how soon we forget about all that. now, if you dare to blame berlin for poor foresight and management or lack of courage in standing up for the interests of its own citizens and industry, rather than selling out to a super national way mister agenda dictated by the bureaucrats in brussels. or if

you ask why berlin has let things get so dire that germany industry is literally bailing out to the us, where they, you know, have actual energy. well, the german economy minister, robert, how back will apparently now just accuse you of not having her facts straight or of being straight up. brainwashed as us to show from truly must provide a replacement for the russian gas that we have not received. and it puts in cost of the gas supply from so much for the north streets. you obviously you've watched too much archie. you have to admit the fact that there was no gas coming from russia, even though there were no sanctions imposed. not sure how high back expects gas to flow in to europe when all kinds of financial sanctions imposed by the west prevent moscow from being paid for it. then nord stream, one into gas pipelines were mysteriously blown up, leaving the e u to over rely on the us for gas at exorbitant costs. and that's brings us to

where we're at today. now, russian president vladimir putin has said that there are still parts of the north street network that function, but that the e u isn't turning the tap back on. so really what this is, is another attempt to get europeans to blame prudent instead of their own leaders. as the disastrous consequences of mate in europe, policies risk taking hold and blowing up in their faces as winter, very rapidly approaches. us republican lawmakers who recently won control the lower house of congress, won't bind administration to provide ferrara oversight of his arms supplies. you claim washington authority sense nearly $20000000000.00 worth of weapons to give, but any 10 percent of those shipments of actually been monitored by the americans. the fact is, we are going to provide more oversight, transparency and accountability. we're not going to write a blank check. we have

a voice now, and we're going to do this in an accountable way, which transparency to the american people. these are american taxpayer dollars going in quarter of a because of not a cold for an end to u. s. arm supply, c grain. they say most of the weapons are not being accounted for the white house cranes. it simply has a very limited budget for providing enough oversight. however, according to the washington post, joe biden has resisted sending an increasing number of american inspectors deeply into ukraine, supposedly after fear provoking a tough response from russia and escalating the conflicts. now some of the weapons and to you, great. are any up being sold on the black market where they can be acquired by terrorist that's according to a top floor enforcement official from the u. k, which has also been sending guns the cave. ukraine had been well known as

a notorious hub for arms trafficking, even before russia's military operation began in february, former pentagon security policy analysts. michael maloof says by the administration's reluctance to thoroughly truck the weapons and soci grain can lead to drastic consequences in europe. they cannot keep track of what is being sent and they have no intention of it. so good luck to the republicans or when they get into the house to get any kind of information. yeah, they could use the budget as a weapon, but ok, so a little bit will be eked up, but they're not going to get the satisfaction they want. and this is what we're going to have again, we break which this is the scheme we send in the advisors and, and before long, it escalates and biden may for once have some ability to understand that that concern and may be reluctant to do so. when you

have contractors in there, you us train contractors from the united states. great. let's say retired military out of the iraq war. busy out of afghan war and they have that it, that they had that experience, they could be going in and actually providing training of ukrainians within the country. and of course that makes them and that at u. s. government expense, i, my dad, and as a consequence of the europeans, as well as the us, are going to suffer in the us is actually profiting from there, from the european misery. and that's what we're seeing right now. russia has successfully deployed another movie satellite into orbit to assist the countries on 4th. if the launch was conducted in for nolan, russia near the arctic circle of the city, primarily used by the countries on fulls, if russia has of it. finally,

it is number of men, few signs of life in orbit. this launch was the 2nd this month. ah, right, this move to will companies. now a camera rudin footballer has responded to the west images scathing criticism of his decision to wear boots berryanne depiction of the russian flag of the world cup and made the the conflict. so you claim made feel the galle endure highest pointed out that he grew up in russia and displaying the fire and displayed the flag, has long been a tradition of his i want to emphasize that the russian flag depicted on them is a sign of respect for the country in which i grew up and received my football education. i've been playing it boots with the russian flag for many years, and i am not going to break this tradition. this flight to the western media criticism faith,

the officials have decided not to step in the football or has claimed his boost, assign a respect for both his homeland and the country where he was res. check out our website, r t dot com for more details on the story. many others from around the world. ok, let's move on to other we'll cut belated news, riots of broken out in belgium and the netherlands. also moral has shocked victory of the belgium team at the will cup in katara. ah, ah flooring morocco's 1st when the world cup since 1998 tales rocketed in brussels with fans, lighting fires and through bricks at the police. thirties had to close off areas of the building capital and the port city of antelope, security for his use water, cannons, and gas to disperse the rises,

and dozens were arrested by his patient seats was sealed off to contain the violence. meanwhile in 3 dutch cities, riot police dispersed american football fan so, but in that he was troy of video, showed police with better homes and shield, sweeping through central amsterdam the port city of rotterdam. the officers attempted to break up a group of about $500.00 foot will support his sewing fireworks and glass security forces. in other world cup controversies, the u. s. soccer federation has come under fire from briefly altering the iranian flag as social media post to support a protest movement in the is that make republic. that was a head of a match between the 2 countries. measures taken regarding the islamic republic of iran flag are against international law and morality. and we'll pursue this defeat as morality committee. they must be held responsible. obviously,

they want to effect a rounds performance against the u. s. by doing this, it comes from the usual american america. they feel that they are exceptional and that they can decide for the rest of the world. there are many protests in the united states, whether it's black lives matter, or the 6th of january protests that we're in washington. and the iranians never use that opportunity to change the american flag in solidarity with any particular group. if you run in the right hand side, does something russians do something, they'll be punished for westerners, they, they will, they will and don't that. i mean, when it comes to iran, that sort of thing doesn't happen. all americans do they just remove the tweet or the chains, the flag again. and the problem is, if it's, if they buy the westerners violate the rules. nothing happens if non western

countries obey the rule, but they become disliked by western. they can be expelled altogether. scandals in salt lake as it rolls manager has demanded the resignation that includes one from the fee for technical study group. offer the full, the job a national team player analyze employ that does he tricks a part of a rainy culture during his 1st much analysis on the b, b. c. they had a lot of little incidence that they did not even see out here this, this is that culture and they, they kind of make you lose the focus. they make you lose your concentration. we look at 40 cultures and comment on the, i do it myself. we speak even in russia, you know, the canadian, hockey culture, their vicious, their vital. they're very, very real canadians. it's the same thing. i think that he was, you know, he was led into the 3rd pointer and gabby logan, who is the host that p. c of the coverage. she led an interest and of course you
