Parts of the western media and mourn the death of a syrian militants describing him as a rebel icon we take a closer look at the controversial figure who supported jihad is proof and praised the 911. 00 attacks. Very well welcome to you watching all of the international with me carrying. On u. S. Prosecutors have made a formal request to the u. K. For the extradition of wiki leaks cofounder julian a song he faces 18 charges including spying and computer hacking from london his short to penske. Yes confirmation today that u. S. Authorities have put it that official request for extradition will soon be in a strong state found over the week leaks web site is currently serving 15 prison sentence for skipping bail hate in the u. K. Will a junior this knowledge was sealed recently looking cool to reign in a video that a marriage belmarsh prison and take his fall but has been able to visit him on t. V. Hes been speaking to join a ship to be told this that zooms do it for making the story some problems be. Possible. But his spirit struck. Right because it might. Be. Now stabilized. Judy in a soldiers faces charges on to the espinosa active 1917 year olds to conspiracy to hack government computer is in the u. S. And thats why the former request for extradition has been made by you know which is not peace of events and many people are hoping to continue raising awareness all to himself just pace and many have been telling us why its so important at the students face remains in the public eye d. O. J. Is really really stacked high and so i think and a lot of people believe this is also a strategy there is not a guarantee that joyce on to actually be extradited to the United States so right now we have a hearing on friday which is going to be at belmarsh at the courthouse outside belmarsh prison thats an extradition hearing then its going to also go to the government as well enough. If you could have a situation where the home secretary would be charged with making that final call now does britain want that on its legacy thats a historic line to cross not only for the United States to charge a publisher a journalist on the espionage act but for the British Government to hand over a journalist an Award Winning journalist to the United States where the u. N. And other bodies have ruled pretty clearly that he will not get a fair trial its a highly politicized case but i think a lot of people believe that this this is going to be one this this battle for free press and free speech for joints on just life will be also won in the public of the spear of Public Opinion and so building awareness is absolutely essential make no mistake Julian Assange has only kramer as a key there to say no go to the high crimes and the war crimes committed in the name of western civilization but not only that hes seen or he invited us all to see you know the u. S. Isnt to punish him to make an example of and and to destroy this event to raise awareness for jews in the songs and also the ticket sales to this event going to whats his defense fees we know that there are going to be individuals such as dane 50. 00 in westwood speaking tonight and many others who have been vocal in the course of julian the souls of many people concerned that if he is extradited to the u. S. Theyre not completely deaf nailer ate the fruit in all the press. And while Julian Assange just case plays out in court his former host ecuador is refusing to extradite an alleged American Force to ecuador eone president Lenin Miranda has puzzlingly blocked proceedings fighting National Sovereignty reasons well squeaky leaks activists clock stoically why the 2 cases are being treated so differently. I dont want double standards very hypocrite always very showing of the morals and ethics of these governments you know the message that wiki leaks has been publishing as been the truth and showing that these you know major or. Government organizations are committing fraud or committing war crimes and so forth. And you know then the messenger is going to be the one that keeps going you know walk away the fact that america is as its always been a 100 percent factual evidence. Maybe people need to start reading the facts of the matter rather than those who present to us. Russian investigative journalist Yvonne Gallen of has been released from detention with all charges dropped he was only accused of illegal drug possession and officials are now saying the evidence was really examined and found to be invalid well lets look at the 1st moment thought the journalists really. Did win here i hope the investigation will continue and no one will find themselves in the same situation i happen to be a little. Sick somebody thinks a lot of information thank you right now we need time to come to tune with whats happened. They journalists arrest provoked outrage in russia and abroad not is not gallus you have looks at the 4 out from the case. The head of russias Narcotics Police has been fired the Police Officers who carried out the arrest there theyve been suspended theyre under investigation by internal affairs over how they carried out the arrest whether they used too much force whether through the legal itself theyre also investigating the investigation which led to the arrest to see whether police went beyond the scope of their powers where they were whether they had legitimate evidence proved to carry out those arrests and im sure theyll be many more people fired because this was this was a huge scandal especially in russia very very resonant nevertheless for him the trial is now over with. According to the results or forensic biological fingerprint and genetic testing we made a decision to stop the criminal prosecution of event go in of due to the lack of evidence of his participation in a crime the charges are dropped all charges dropped hes been released from house arrest the investigation is now over the investigation is switched to the investigators whether what they did was lawful and whether the went beyond the scope of their powers abused. Their powers slits nicomedia the Russian Investigative Committee will analyze the material sent by the interior ministry own Security Service in connection with the Police Officers involved in the criminal prosecution of a bungalow not the investigation will trace all circumstances related to daniel and all the detention over the illegal circulation of mexico to get drugs if the plaintiff is to be sure there are grounds for concern a lawful and reasonable decision will be taken in this case of course has provoked outrage both in the media and among the public how did it all start when he was arrested in on friday thats when the news went public 1st police. Said the jury in the arrest they found 5 packages containers with methadone a drug inside them this is all coming from the police the investigators that have now been suspended immediately after his arrest the controversy began because he said that they had been planted the drugs had been planted on him and add his house urine tests other tests carried out by medics showed that he had new drugs in his system nevertheless police tried to charge him with the accusation was that he was part of a drug ring his colleagues reacted straightaway the ones that work at medusa the outlet the publication where he works they didnt believe the charges they believed that they were falsified they knew him they didnt believe that he could do such a thing you know sell drugs hes respected journalist there was a lot of outrage with the arrested self because apparently he said he was salted by a Police Officer he was taken to hospital released with the doctor saying that there was nothing serious and then. The scandal exploded every day it got bigger and bigger and bigger went global really do believe we had politicians on the other you know in the western hemisphere talking about this 1st began with russian journalists they came out in solidarity russias 3 biggest newspapers running with the same headline front page saying we are. In total solidarity with and then it was the t. V. Channels the joined in our editing chief Margarita Simonyan she came out and supported him eventually reached even the politicians we had like me a putin spokesperson came out in support of him and you know with the pressure building in building perhaps. That is what pushed the ministry of the interior to start looking at things seriously to see whether. Somethings gone wrong because we would have protests public protests just journalists politicians public protests in front of the ministry of interior that really got things go in. A scandal as a route to didnt brazil after leaks messages suggest a Corruption Case against the countrys former president alluded to silver was politically motivated the message is published by investigative news finds the intercept appears to show a judge discussing the probe with prosecutors supporters of alluded to silver say the leak confirms their fears the case was a chip designed to prevent him from winning reelection last year the probe was part of brazils biggest Anti Corruption crusade known as operation car wash which saw dozens of high level politicians in prisons religious silvo was sentenced to almost a decade behind bars for corruption and Money Laundering including for accepting a luxury apartment in exchange for state contracts he denies ever owning it and the leaks messages suggest prosecutors themselves questions the strength of the evidence against him one of the journalists behind the revelations said they made sure the messages were genuine. We waited and waited for a response from the prosecutors for them to prove that the messages were genuine thats why we were very cautious and scrupulous checking their recipe when you work with explosive material like this you need to be absolutely certain that what you publish is true the prosecutors and the judge havent publicly expressed doubts about the messages they know theyre genuine as doing. Well leaks have also led to accusations the judge gave biased advice to the prosecutors with more details of his caliber. Who served as president of brazil from 2003 until 2010 is still wildly popular in the country brazilians associate him with good Economic Times when Living Standards were rising now a newly leaked conversation sheds some light on why he is serving a 12 Year Prison Sentence for corruption it turns out that his trial the judge and the prosecutor were in cahoots these are some of the private conversations that took place during the trial with judge mauro seemingly instructing the prosecutor about how to proceed with the case. Hasnt it been a long time without an operation you cannot make that kind of mistake now the thing called with a thats a good idea and a prosecutor asking the judge for advice what do you think of these crazy statements from the Workers PartyNational Board should with fish to rebut well into silver has long maintained his innocence he says the entire case was a set up he has named names. On how to political life and all of a sudden i was convicted for Money Laundering and organized crime it was all a law i settled on when i was by the federal police the Public Prosecutors Office someone more of who took on the investigation with more i didnt need any proof of crimes committed because they all had a plan in mind the plan was to paint the Workers Party as a criminal organization with a criminal boss who happens to be made well it seems the new leaks show that little the decision was right here is an extract where the judge is seemingly directing the prosecutor and the prosecutor himself isnt moving his case is weak. Source and for me that the Contact Person is annoyed at having be nice to see dr property transfer deeds for one of the x. President s children apparently the person would be willing to provide the information and therefore pawson it along the source is serious they will say that they were accusing bays a newspaper articles and for gyal evidence and here is what makes it even more scandalous lloyd to silvas imprisonment is what prevented him from running for president last year and take a look at the polls to silva had a pretty solid lead so then also narrow who won the election after his main opponent was blocked from running actually promoted judge morrow after he took office i salute gary moore the only man in brazil whos proving that we can do politics differently now the judge seems to think he didnt do anything wrong he says that the real crime is that these conversations have been made public it is regrettable that the person responsible for the criminal hacking of the prosecutors cell phones has not be. Identified as the source there is no sign of any abnormality or providing directions as a magistrate despite information being taken out of context and the sensationalism of the articles mo as it was also those accusations published by the intercept are not true and their origin is linked to a criminal hack even though i dont acknowledge the trustworthiness of the messages or realize that they can create some discomfort for some people who are deeply sorry about that the leaked telegram conversations give the impression that the silver was railroaded in order to keep him off the ballot and there is more to come to me and we are continuing our work on the case as we said these are just off 1st reports we have a lot of information we have analyzed i think only one percent of the conversations we will publish materials from these messages. Well the New York Times has stopped printing political cartoons after a public outcry that story and more after the break. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. For something i want to. Get it right to the press this is like the. 3 of the people. Interested always in the why. Should. Be. If you see people protesting because of the goal no case thousands of people. But people of all sorts of political views you have journalists from or a c. N. N. Russia to do the networks to. Signing the same petition. To. Come back opposed to the Mainstream Media and the Syrian Opposition all morning a controversial figure there branding a rebel icon who died in a battle against Syrian Government forces in Homs Province according to his rep and function to find his role in syrias uprising with the subject of an Award Winning documentary a goalkeeper for the countrys Youth Football Team he gained prominence for staging street protests against president assad and singing songs praising the revolution some of those things though hold loni is that seem to go completely against those of western countries fighting Islamic State in the country is donald quarter explains a warning his report contains scenes of an execution. He became the poster boy of the syrian uprising or shall we say the voice. Oh my. God. And his death in battle against Government Forces apparently made him a fallen hero in the eyes of the media syrian football and singer of revolution killed in conflict. Syrian soccer goalie who became rebel i can dies in battle syrian soccer star symbol of free vault dies after battle. That also roots was a former syrian footballer who turned rebel fighter and not just any rebel fighter oh no he became an icon of the fight against Bashar Al Assad so he wasnt shying away from speaking the truth heres one of the socalled singer of the revolutions greatest hits judge for yourself. Perhaps the lyrics dont exactly communicate the artists intended message thats all right though also it was much more articulate about his political beliefs in this 2014 interview that our vision of what we do blame Islamic State. But that blame comes with love because we know that these 2 groups and not politicized and have the same goals as us they are working for god and they care about islam and muslims no you didnt hear that wrong the same goals as Islamic State and apparently 911 was a great accomplishment to. Was good yet. There are those in the media who acknowledge its problematic characteristics but for them a little elbow rubbing with terrorist groups shouldnt stand between him and his rightful page in the history books. Some individuals celebrated as heroes make you doubt all stories of heroes in history books others like abdel baset also root not inspire of but despite his flaws make those stories highly plausible hes a true legend and his story is well documented may his soul rest in peace so if these guys got an oscar. Abdul deserves a grammy no less as in other. Kovar western operations it becomes important to to maintain this sense of plausible deniability its clearly been useful for for the us and the us media to maintain. This whole idea of there being moderate Democratic Forces among the rebels in syria but clearly most of the groups fighting the government were really extreme Islamist Groups thats the reality and these were the groups that the cia and and its allies its british and french and saudi and qatari and turkish allies were supporting and arming from the very early stages of this conflict. The New York Times has officially stopped publishing political cartoons the move comes just over a month since there was a strong backlash against a controversial cartoon featuring a blind President Donald Trump led by a seeing eye israeli Prime Minister the newspaper made the announcement after one of its cartoonists leaked the plans. The New York Times all and all political cartoons are just learned we saw through a publisher syndicated new yorker to their cause the scandal for me this is the end of an adventure that begin 20 years ago besides announcing the newspapers decision cartoonists patrick chap had complained about the lower lifting logs influencing the news rooms however he also slammed the image saying it should have a signature have run in the best newspaper in the world the New York Times issued an apology soon after the cartoon was published the cartoonist responsible for the image fired back about the control for 3 claiming the backlash was fabricated by quote jewish propaganda he also emphasized that his arts and the political had it and not its religious meaning the decision of the New York Times to abandon political cartoons completely caused an uproar on twitter. Really did fail this time decision not to run political cartoons by n. Y. T. Opinion is spineless we need political humor now more than ever 4 years ago the New York Times was all just see surely now theyre no longer publishing cartoons New York Times are not threw out to be with the bathwater yes there was a terrible lapse in judgment to print that cartoon so pollard gys and have a keener i free offensive cartoons john and art from completely a school cause who knows and all the 10 year old believes not being able to laugh at political leaders creates a serious problem for society. This is a pretty despicable series of events i mean 1st of all i dont think we need to throw an tonio portuguese cartoonist under the bus there really is but its highly debatable whether his cartoon was antisemitic or not and i think to portray him as an antisemite despite the fact that he repeatedly has denied it is really egregious and something that many of my colleagues probably should have spoken up out against to move to months ago and now you have the New York Times firing its own syndicate i mean the editors who ran the cartoons are still working at the New York Times and the and now theyre firing to cartoonist who had nothing to do with the cartoon in question so i mean ive never heard of a political cartoonist getting fired over a cartoon that he did not draw so the New York Times has literally declared nuclear war against my art form theyve decided that all the traditional editorial cartoons that depict a strong opinion about the events of the day will no longer appear there when we cant laugh at ourselves when we cant poke fun at our political leaders weve got a major problem on our hands politically. I such a thing off the International Red by confessing minutes with the latest headlines and see if. Its an officer. Told them to get up off the ground the officer began to down. Heard them freeze on the sounds of kind of fighting into a grown man like wrestling essentially the officer. Through his are trying. To push the away from the officer. Out of his crew. The obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then what happened on 3 swung at the hands didnt hit him i never saw any contact between the 2 any kind of a back to where they were so the officers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and thats when the officer pulled out his gun and he did it on 3. Recent high level controversy surrounding you tube clearly demonstrates the online universe and freedom of speech are not on the same page the plan from says it wants to ban extremism it is probably fair to say most would agree on this the problem is how you to define this concept.
