begin the program with a developing story from north western russia where a passenger train has the real injuring at least 40 people. 3 of them are said to be in a critical condition. dramatic footage of the immediate aftermath of the crush has been posted by one of the passengers. what's happening here is awful. this is our real car. we managed to get out. several other cars are scattered nearby. this train crash took place in the north western russian republic of call me a going from bar code to another cbs concurring uh, 215 people on board. the number of injured is still being confirmed. there may be more in the future as more information becomes available. this is as a result of glass and blunt trauma from basically beds and tables flying around in the train cars that overturn the n word the rail as a result of this incidents. but luckily,

no debts have been reported now emergency services are working hard at the scene. they've set up so far to temporary aid points to assist the passengers affected by this crash. and we've also heard from the local authorities that another for medical brigades are still on their way right now by train. and another to medical helicopters have been deployed to the area because it's essentially impossible to get there right now. uh by any sort of uh, car or land vehicle now in terms of what actually caused this tragedy to take place . one of the main series right now is that the weather conditions created a situation in which the rails became so slippery, due to heavy rains that it caused the trained to the rail. but of course, we're gonna have to wait for the results of an in 5th official investigation to get to the bottom of what exactly happened here. the voice of the kenyan people as being heard, those were the words of the countries president, announcing the scrapping of a tax hike,

bill that spark days of protest in the country. a deadly one of that at least 22 people were killed and 160 more injured in the unrest. here's what else will be able to to said about the i am asked by bill during his concession speech. hunting, dependent on this 1 of january include position that i ended up going to end of the plan has to be 2024. i left the drawing for people to have started without being but they were nothing to do with these by non speed of 2020 for going feet and therefore i would not sign the trend. attentive to finance, building and subsequently been withdrawn so often on president

a few days of chaos. sunday at the vidas present william who to has reduced to the tech store while addressing the nation for the 2nd time since the protest broke out . the present state to the king is due to has reduced by a tremendous amount of uses. it has become quite evident that to members of the public still insist on the need for him to make more positions. she runs a government, but also these people and the people have spoken. those are some of his words asked me to see that she will not be signing the boat into move. what do you mean by this city became in parliament costs to be controversial, fine as full, which would have increased the taxes and price is a face of goods and as a social items, following that protest brought to the capital of nairobi and police opened fire on crowds around parliament, some protest as even menace to enter upon them in the

also ball to keep the demonstrations going until the high schools. and i meant those classes with and to ride for these in the capital off can yeah, the medical association even confirm that's at least 13 people have been killed in that protest. the move by the president could be seen as an attempt to try and de escalate tensions, but essentially, the presidency is kenya as in paul. to listen, it states burden. we have pete. can those to be here? the better of the word and try to for pin, for us as the own government make would pay them not to installment of $500000000.00 last week today, found out that by the much with lots of data on the

demo, comes in from the discomfort of debt that full really aim to integers, unpopular attached proposals that to the reason for so much and the across the nation. the proposal consisted off with tax reforms and increases on monetize digital content creation, tax and fees, and digital payments like bank transfers and digital money payments, which will take increases on braid and visible. and those are particularly all teaching in the country this quite reliant on the mobile mind. me and this is the reaction from some of those citizens. we are here to the best interest of or to the problem. we want to walk you through this. this is the pause this finance bill. there will be demonstrations every day until the government gives us accountability of all taxes

. we just want them to be accountable. we have going on this phase. i'm here, the government, the government, which kind of how people are not. we're not really close to the president this constant tax increases in can, you know, one of the many reasons why the bite and administration the if and as the international financial institutions, we're quite happy with prisons neutral. at the same time, he has been between the competing demands of, of linda, such as the item april, which have it's the government of kenya to cut, if this is to obtain more financing any hard to push the population. so it will be quite interesting to see and hear how deluxe will be if will react to, to this move. the hey, let's stay with this story because the kenyan presidents also said the government will adopt a security measures to slash spending nothing towards the travel and hospitality sector as well as vehicle purchases ahead of william bluetooth address must protest

spread across the east african is the best for they just from the western in the city of not crew, where demonstrators tried to enter the state house, police report to the views to your desk. tell us to this 1st crowd as they attempted to block roads and hindered truck. several people receive fatal wins. the protesters could be seen carrying the body of a person, reportedly shop by security forces. while we spoke to booker olay, who was the national vice truman of a communist party of kenya, he sees the, i am a, i'm the world by which continue to pressure. can you to implement the controversial fiscal reforms versus ultimate responsibility for the finance as really for me, uh, maybe a more complex that might say yes to be in the streets. we must make it clear that

they have a lot is in their hands. so i am in one thing that is continued to impose, they have policies on and they email sends king and population be i am historically how the order is probably one call interest, not just to qualify to you know, loans that i'm sustainable, but also use the leverage in terms of the financial capital to the our international, our internal affairs, and even to use them to manipulate what it's going to be this. see this m, i am made sure that the q, the only problem is to do the relation. i'm 11. i'll invest in 2

days was actually cute or this did want enterprises in this country's once meetings on that i am a fund loveland for this. so this is a to for the for the, for the united states and canada, neo colonial. it has to be understood that even though the, that there is a solution that's v i in less than one is more violent because the use of the file design and telephone lines our lead us to implement unemployed. people on say for policies. but yesterday, been very low, non violence from the assault of technique was actually exposed to industry. so i am, you know, on a p me, on, i'm from, it's a story called

a behavior. it's under the colonial approaches that they want to, one of the ones, most of the african countries, including canyon to be some mission, to only one of the advocates we must foster will be with external to continue just on the net. all political discourse plus leads all independence. i'm from there. i'm now, but can people do shop? yeah. on distance. okay, breaking news, coming into the program from the left and the american state of bolivia. the country president has the knowing what he's called on a regular mobilization of some army units in the capital city of la pause, former bolivian leader, even morales has called the ongoing military movements a who attempt,

though he is demanded a national mobilization to tackle the apartment mutiny the reports say that some bolivian units have taken the presidential palace under at control. what we're seeing here are heavily armed soldiers and armored vehicles gathering in the capital of central plaza. and what are you and those? what do shirt on social media at y lee? also believe that a general in the nation to the local tv station, and there will be a new cabinet of ministers. quote, surely things will change, but a country cannot continue like this any longer. so very much at developing issue there in the capital of bolivia. housing with more details emerge as to just what is occurring. we will bring it to, you know, after a 14 year long legal bottle found almost 2000 days behind bars. julian,

a solid and has war rate, he's not home in australia, and this is the moment he was met by his family, a camera or the the, the, the, the wiki leaks found or made a necessary pit stop on a remote pacific island, where he appeared in court and that guilty to a single charge of conspiracy was per a deal struck with washington. the us judge there sentenced him to time served on the bill to be a free man. yeah,

sounds could be seen leaving the courtroom as we heard there are being shouted a free man after over a decade of bottling extradition to the united states. and while his saga is finally over, his legal team must say he's the face has had a shilling impact showing the lens, washington will go to and that's attempt to quote, criminalize journalism, the president it in the united states, to use the guy's act to criminally, prosecute the journalist for a publisher, it's in the more than a 100 year history of that law. it has never been used in this fashion. julian spent years in bill marsh. no one should spend a day in prison for giving the public news worthy and important information. in this case, information that the united states government had committed war crimes. underneath that, there's an issue of you know, how he changes for you. what do you have to do?

how we have to bend his knee if you like, to accept a criminal conviction? and this goes to the heart of the debate now. um, you know, uh, the united states will maintain that. uh julian hassan just noticed as the a 7, a criminal this has huge impact on a journalism on a global scale. the united states, of course, was the engine of the case against the julian assign. so it's understandable that amount with health problems with the young family who had spent, you know, you know, almost 15 years, essentially imprisoned 7 years, the ecuadorian embassy, remember at, and then a bell and marsh, why security prison, anyone who knows that the, the bill of march our security prison. this is a very green place, rapists and murderers and terrorist, it's a bit as secure a place you could put anybody have journey into such as a journalist with a gentle mind. so this ed, so the dom match the brutality of the whole engine behind this one of his lawyers at outlining the reality of the deal on the impact that this deal will have going

forward on, on global journalism for years. the us government has claimed that these publications do great harm. today in court of the united states government admitted that there was not a single person anywhere that they can produce that was actually harmed buddies, publications. so in order to when he's freedom, joanne pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit espionage for publishing. evidence of us will crimes, human rights abuse, human rights abuse, and us wrongdoing around the world. this is journalism, this is the criminalization of journalism. and while the plato does not set a traditional president, that's not a court decision. the prosecution itself sets a president that can be used against the rest of the media for the process in a very dangerous place. it's not, it's not evidence that it will move towards more protections,

but rather less that would have been the only good outcome for the preston general. if, if the us government had to abandon this case entirely, nobody from the united states a culpable in the crime is the wiki leaks expose the julian assign. she has dedicated his life to expose it. nobody has been charged with anything. you've got well over a 1000000 civilians dead in afghanistan, iraq, syria, libya, the, the list goes on and on and on. so the mind who expose the crimes is never criminal . the people try it out. the crimes which he exposed are completely blame is as it seems. so again, it's gonna come back to the mechanism by which the max of taking their pound of flesh you feel like you most things you need to us your most accepted or criminal. and it's very difficult to see how anybody wouldn't have accepted this deal after such a long time in solitary confinement, most local conditions that he had to take the deal due to his health. but the big

issue here is, what does this mean for global journalism? what does it mean for the pursuit of truth a while interesting leave a true book more than 44000 emails on the with the leaks website, has mysteriously gone offline just hours after julian assault and was released. the files detailed hard leading us democratic party figures conspired to support hillary clinton over bernie sanders for the 2016 presidential nomination or t corresponding caleb up in in new york, picks up the story. as julia sanchez, 14 year ruling legal battle reached its conclusion, we now see that thousands of hacked emails from the democratic national committee have been removed from the website. if you go to the website and try to look at them, you'll see internal server error. that is the message that you will see,

and these are emails that came from 2016 when wiki leeks revealed information, showing that the democratic national committee that leads the us democratic party was not acting and partially, and was actively working to make sure that bernie sanders did not get the nomination and that hillary rodham clinton did get it. and wiki weeks was provided with 19000 emails as well as 8 attachments to show that. and they've all gone missing. in the immediate aftermath of julian hassan being released and the 14 year long legal battle coming to an ap, now, you'll recall that it was shortly after these emails originally were published by wiki, reeks that hillary clinton is reported to have discussed killing julian a saw that's recall, why can't we just drone this guy? clinton openly inquired, offering a simple remedy to silence to sondra in some other week you weeks via a plan to military drone strike,

according to state department sources. that there was quite a bit of outrage about these remarks in us media after all she was calling for the extra judicial murder of a journalist. now hillary clinton denied that she made these statements and this happened as mainstream us media went into an overdrive saying that the packing of the emails had been akins, we received from russia, emmet. julie amazons was somehow a russian agent. let's recall the media hysteria back in 2016 and the n c was hacked. they believe by the russians. communications were likely fees by a group of tied to the russian government at cyber security experts are blaming the hack attack on the intelligence agencies of russian president vladimir potent russian state. actors broke into the dnc, stall these emails. now, no evidence was ever provided to prove that somehow russia was involved in the events, or the julian assad was working for russia when he published. i'm out. but these

claims were repeated all across us, the media to feed what became known as the russian gate narrative that hung over the trunk presidency, much of which was completely and thoroughly debunk by evidence that continued to serve as throughout the trump administration. now, after a 14 year long grueling legal battle, julian hassan was forced to plead guilty to one count of violating the espionage act. he is now selling in the united states. but he has been released to return home to australia. and many people around the world are looking at the case as a pretty blatant example of hypocrisy when it comes to western leaders and their calls for transparency and human rights, and the protection of journalists and freedom of the press, etc. of the us embassy and ukraine has confirmed the death of one of its stoffers in key of the body of the all named diplomatic natasha was

found in a hotel room on tuesday. the american embassy has not this low as of this stage. any additional details? well, let's discuss this with investigative journalist edward zone. joining us live from new york city edward. good to see you. the details here are interesting. the reports of the american diplomats death 1st emerge them tuesday. why do you think it took the us embassy nearly 2 days to making a 9 spent on this or so i think 1st of all their, their shots are, they're certainly shots and you're, you look at the time they're saying they found the body. it was at 11 am. that's usually at the checkout time. maybe when the maids are coming through to check the rooms and the clean. and they said they found his body inside the hotel room. and i think the, the embassy, if you think about the state department general right now, it's not a shock and they don't with watching

r t international knows that the us and know israel are, are preparing right now, potentially for an invasion of lebanon. so the state department officials, they're hyper focused on an issue and i bring this up and in this context because 2 countries right now are drawn massive aid and support on popularly from you know, america and it's israel and you create i would wonder if i was ukraine and i want spect, what too far is that i know we want to talk about. so i will tell you one thing i found so far in regard to where they found the body is it is on the very, very small information. there was one piece of information that did release which started kind of ridiculous. they said the man had high cholesterol. i don't know about you, but i hope they were find me dead in the hotel room. they don't say, well edward just, he just wasn't very healthy. it's the very peculiar and the fact is we had to edward, but he actually just arrived about a week or so mid june brand new to, you know, if somebody is chronically ill on his health. i suppose isn't the jeopardy work

where he could die, and it just raises so many questions as to why he would be there. and i'll go down that route 1st of all. sure. one thing i found the hotel he was staying in specifically is known to have sound proofed rooms. now this could be nothing. ok, but there is this discussion of there was no violence found on the body that was one of the apart from the uh, the statement put out officially by the state department. but it was also found that a sound proved room and there's no discussion about the cameras. you know, hilton's made on notice. maybe you do. it's a very expensive hotel, very, very high class. they have cameras for each of the hallways. there is nothing about any visitors that they made very clear to not make talk about any kind of his actions before the night before the day after a while it's possible a heart attack or some kind of natural illness due to poor health could be to your point, why would they put someone so unhealthy? you know, wars though. okay, that's, that's what, yeah, it's, it's, uh, it's, of course, when did you want to put one of your best people?

well, maybe they don't have many good people that's. that's where some people might go in their, their logical analysis of us. what i looked at, i looked at the place, it sat right, john kirby, he's the spokesman for the national security council. he said today that there will be no backing of this piece plan. that's been proposed by president trump's respective officials. now, according to the economist present, trump has a very good chance of winning. so if you're key of your, the zalinski administration, you're looking at the saying there's a high chance that the administration coming in maple funding may pull help at a time when we can't even keep our grid up. we can't even protect our citizens. because by the way, uh, the temperature right now the felix in ukraine, that clearly but they are not very happy with americans, especially for the pulling of of aid. there was also reported an attack on a us security official in the capital. this happened. it's kind of been overshadowed because of the debt. so obviously this man thinks on that there's a couple things that i 0 another on a lot. what while you're talking while you're leading that odd washington,

we know as also being staffing up the pressure and key of the track done on corruption among top authorities not is expected to ramp up. if a president trump takes charge of the oval office, edward hall is that's been going so far in your view. and i think that it's certainly been going poorly because every time they do hold some accountable, that seems like they get maybe a very leading incentives. those recently, i believe a, an energy official that was arrested for, for corruption. but here's the thing, every time the rest of it also proves the counter, which is that we've been supporting a corrupt darren leg. so a shadow state to a state that's not really even the state of state that's being run by proxy to the united states and other allies by nato. i think when i look at this, all i know is i know the temperature here, americans are, are hurting right now. we don't have money to send. so you can, we shouldn't be funding or what, but that's right. how many american taxpayer dollars are capable of being sent? don't they, even though they know the rump and corruption that has been openly talked defied by

american officials about that money is being sent on? it's, you know, hand over fist is not an overstatement. oh, sure. and that, and that's that maybe it brings critters to possibly this man he died for natural causes because he was looking at the great mass that he was about to have to inherit is natasha chase and united states. so you claim i want to know more information about this stuff, but on the card to the corruption and the state of the relations been to us and ukraine. ukraine, as we said, for for months, if there was no age united states, you create almost overnight would have to surrender. and i think from the president who is a states a dress that just from a couple weeks ago. very fair, very fair that i know the russian people, they see war crimes committed on the russian soldiers. we've seen how they've been a desecrated for an a p r standpoint. internationally, the russian people stuck with it. but i sure they want something more harsh. the

investigative journalist edward is all edward, thank so much for your take on the program today on the news that a us a tashay to the embassy in key of has been found dead more and not when we know it. ok. another story. other it is our breaking news to day from bolivia and electric, who appears to be under way in the capital city. la pause the country's president house. the 9th was, he's called uh, quote, a regular mobilization of some army units there, essentially gathering and a major at central square of the capital. soldiers and military vehicles were also hearing, have reportedly stormed and entered the presidential palace. speaking on local tv, army, general one, what was it? as a nigger said, quotes, there will be a new topic of administer. surely things will change, but our country cannot continue. like this any longer,

are talking about economic issues. i would surmise that the country has been in the state of flux over that by the way, former bolivian liter eco morales has urged his supporters to rally against the crew at 10 p. r as former allies, but they helping strain some want so is to he has the monday, the national mobilization to tackle the a part of the community. so very much together on this issue, the incumbent, the libyan government has urge the international community to support the countries of socrates against the insurgency. the president of honduras has also convened an emergency session of the sea lock at regional lock. let's discuss it now with a mountain. mendez revise, medical scientists, the communicator. joining us from ecuador, thanks for your time. at short notice as well. your take on watson folding in bolivia. this a part in miller.
