S. Request is politically motivated before a 2nd session begins in may it could then just be months before a judge makes a final decision of whats happening as for songes father he said he believes this case is of major significance for journalists everywhere. The torture of julian as witnessed by no mills of you know the nations repertory and. All of those records are viable that is what will happen to journals. Publishers and public life if this next edition this political exhibition julian the sons of his successor. Produce supporters gathered this monday to protest against assads use detention extradition rallies are being held never court in london ready day the where the hearing is taking place and also tell you sydney to similar kind of thing a strike a democrat investigative journalist and human rights activist attending the demonstration today saskatoon and looks next how is sizes for themselves closer than ever to a traditional. Camera or enemy number one you decide either way judy in the song has become a name and a face recognised all over the wilds but not for the Death Penalty so if im not for the Death Penalty i want to do it illegally shoot the son of a. Terrorist he should be treated as an enemy combatant. Her 6. Walks like a Hostile Intelligence Service and talks like a Hostile Intelligence Service by defeating the jury in the sun we just feed them or see for brights the 48 year old australian put a target on his back when he leaked a truckload of classified u. S. Documents lang bad views of powell at the very highest levels with the u. S. Justice department hot on his heels as some sort of saddam in londons Ecuadorian Embassy the 7 long years but full suddenly and unceremoniously being dragged out by british police. A stab in the back perhaps coincidence that aquittal is bank account had just been credited with a 4200000000 dollar learn from the i. M. F. The u. S. Has huge sway so from the 4 walls of the embassy to the 4 walls of a jail cell a songe was taken to Londons Belmarsh prison and handed an exceptional sentence in britain by of violations seldom need to prison sentences they are generally subject only to finds. By contrast was sentenced in summary proceedings to 50 weeks in a Marksman Security prison clearly a disproportionate penalty that only a single Purpose Holding his son should be long enough for the us to prepare the espionage case against him he and his lawyer had just 15 minutes to prepare for the trial which itself also just lost it 15 minutes betrayed by ecuador feeling let down by the legal system a songe now claimed his fundamental human rights were under attack he was put in solitary confinement for up to 23 hours a day at the u. N. And Rights Groups were in disbelief and some feared for more than just his freedom we have real concerns on the evidence currently available that mr a staunch could die in prison the medical situation is there or by urgent there is no time to lose against this backdrop is it surprising that suspicion swallowing around the extradition trial especially given the u. S. U. K. Treaty clearly states no citizen can be extradited the political purposes which many tame at the says washington says this case is strictly about National Security it seems Queen Elizabeth the 2nd didnt get the memo. I must tell you however that theres a constitutional sovereign majesty acts on the advice of him ministers and remain strictly nonpolitical at all times this is therefore not a mess that you wish the queen would intervene if the u. K. Kowtows to its allies request as might be doubt not just a life sentence without parole but even the Death Penalty if washington to side step out on thought the charges in the future that if it finds a willing jury which apparently wont be a problem assigned will receive a trial by jury in alexandria virginia the natori is Espionage Court where the u. S. Tries all National Security cases the choice of location is not by coincidence the cases are always tried in front of the same judge behind closed doors and on the strength of classified evidence nobody has ever been acquitted in a case like that that is a prearranged of a show trial to make an example of Julian Assange and the point is to intimidate other journalists global outcry human rights the law the right to a fat trial turns out there all week adversaries in the face of a government who will fight tooth and nail to keep a lid on its dirty secrets the us special report to her own talk show just quoted the polls today is going underground that this case amounts to a battle of basic freedoms during the sun is not a whistle blower. He did not leak information it was illegal publish he was leaked to him so u. K. Authorities here are they basically deciding on whether a show trial should go ahead absolutely yes i think this is not what its its about whether the soul trial should go ahead because theres not going to be nothing else than a show trial in the u. S. Theres no chance its going to get a fair trial its not just about your innocence in this is really is a battle over press freedom over the rule of law over the future i would say even of democracy. Or the news or check in today for the Israeli Defense forces have said the country south has been attacked by 6 missiles launched from gaza it comes after the defense minister said tel of eve had plans to radically result of longstanding crisis there. Were preparing a plan to fundamentally change the situation in the gaza strip i really understand the situation of the people in the south they deserve peace and security well it certainly seems as if a skeleton is on the cards we have heard from the israel Defense Forces home front come on that all roads or schools and the train line along the israel gaza border are closed until further notice now this follows a deadly night of the tell a true air strikes conducted by the israeli army on several occasions in northern gaza and on the syrian capital damascus now the Israeli Army Says that these included sites belonging to the Palestinian Islamic jihad group and amongst them were weapons facilities and training sites it also says that 4 people were injured however we hearing from Islamic Jihad that 2 people have been killed and it has vowed to avenge those deaths the zionist aggression against damascus and the murder of 2 of our members as a result of the bombing is something that must be stopped and will not go unnoticed well this is comes after the american president Donald Trumps socalled deal of the century which was supposed to see a long lasting peace between israelis and palestinians but has been slammed as the slap of the same tree by the palestinians all of this coming just a week before israel holds its 3rd parliamentary election in a year the country is in a political deadlock now at the same time the americans have to recognize israeli sovereignty of the Golan Heights and also put in place plans for israeli enix sation on the west bank all of this is being seen here by many as attempts by israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu to win political points. While the exchangeable still it is came after Israeli Forces shot and killed a palestinian from the Islamic Jihad group there the gaza perimeter fence on sunday the idea of there in the stands out an armored bulldozer to retrieve his body this is video of it coming up which you may well find upsetting. Oh. Yeah yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah according to local media reports 2 other palestinians were wounded by israeli life fire as they attempted to recover the body the i. D. F. Said the man along with another alleged terrorist had been plotting to plant an explosive device near the separation barrier a mass though which governs the besieged gaza strip said no they said he was an armed either which way this way defense minister praised his soldiers handling of the situation palestinian rights advocate is some eunice told us the instance showed callous disregard he says for palestinian life. What we have seen is very very degrading cruel and inhuman i think nothing can justify this regardless of the kind of people or what they have done and those who all do it all but if you treat it such as should be brought to court the army on the one hand feel that greenlight put this as provide. Political cover. Just praise such incidents which amount to war crimes because if you feel that you are above the law you would have me on as many would provide you. Cover with their legal or political then soldiers will continue to do we expect the israeli army to investigate this incident. The number of corona virus patients located far from the deadly epicenter in china has suddenly spiked we can report today italy now is put emergency measures in place over the weekend 150 reported cases there and thus far 4 deaths it is europes 1st major outbreak trouble to over in iran that country seen the highest number of deaths outside china with officials there raising with number 12 earlier this monday the authorities back in italy of cancel big events including huge carnival in venice major sporting events for perspiring too as entire towns and communities were put into locked in asia cases of infected patients surged in south korea on monday with another 161 confirmed ill taking the total there to almost 800. 00 now the governments also temporarily shut down religious movement and a cult whose members made up a sizeable number of the known infections are in south korea meantime cite for the us is accusing russia of spreading alarm and coronavirus conspiracy theories by spreading disinformation about coronavirus russian malign actors are once again choosing to threaten Public Safety by distract you from the Global Health response the u. S. State department claims thousands of fake social media accounts are advancing socalled russian talking points the messages apparently label it an american biological weapon being used to wage economic war on china accounts link back to russian proxies are also being accused of undermining the Global Response wrapping of all this that now shes becoming the side from the big stories daniel hawkins. Its hard to find almost any modern day referendum election or protest movement that hasnt been tied in some way by government officials intelligence reports all Media Outlets to russian meddling it seems virus pandemics are no exception to the rule russias intent is to sow discord and undermine u. S. Institutions and alliances from within including through coercive mind influence campaigns this miss the allegations as a deliberate Smear Campaign it will be hard for most of us to find out what exactly russia is accused of the answer apparently lies in the report prepared for the state Departments Global Engagement Center strictly not for public viewing which details evidence of russias alleged bad behavior and if one compares the charges against russia in the secretive report to what moscow has actually done you get 2 very different pictures. But if its conspiracy theories u. S. Officials are looking to find looking closer to home could do the job u. S. Officials publicly cause doubt on official information coming out of china though some later retracted allegations that the corona Virus Outbreak actually came from a chinese Bioweapon Lab were quick to emerge stateside just a few miles away from the food market is chinas only biosafety level 4 Super Laboratory research of human Infectious Diseases why its this way about this virus to me Senior Administration official told me that the United States does not have quote high confidence in the information coming out of china at this point the show has called for all sides of take extra care with trading barbs and the chinese envoy to the u. S. Has warned of the damage inaccurate information can cause. The 2900. Responses being accompanied by a massive info demick an overabundance of information some accurate and some not that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it so very harmful its very dangerous to stir up suspicion rumors and spread them among the people for one thing or this will create panic fana Racial Discrimination as you know phobia all despite the warnings at least the u. S. Officials can in their own way look on the bright side of the situation and take the positives from the global panic the fact is that does give businesses there yet another thing to consider when they go through their review of their supply chain so i think it will help to accelerate the return of jobs to north america this is a wake up call for an issue that has been latent for many years but is critical to u. S. Economic and National Security we cannot necessarily depend on other countries even close elyse to supply us with needed items from facemasks to vaccines some would say u. S. Officials are doing a good job of undermining their own institutions without russias help. Russia serves a very important purpose in and american politics these days rather than analyzing its own problems and and trying to figure out how the you know how they arose and how to fix them americans find it much easier to blame someone else and that target is usually russia the us i just the Us Intelligence agencies feel that they are they can only benefit if they attack russian accused russia of various malign activities but i believe i dont believe russia has any any desire any interest in spreading this information about the coronavirus because. If you spread this information that causes that that allows the the disease to spread all the more rapidly and russia is vulnerable as well so why would russia want to burn down its own house when we come but keep in check a great secret for jolie this hour also this 2 story of a woman whose fled to russia claiming her children living abused by their father. Coming up. The chrono virus now has proven this point because even though all supply loan supply lines are choked and deliveries of critical parts are not happening stocks are still stable or going higher because its fed by cheap money right its all cheap money that cheap money is is created out of nothing to create the simulation going. The world is driven by general shape the interceptors both. Dares thinks. We dare to ask. Again the german chancellor is christian democrats have suffered a devastating blow in state elections in hamburg with support for the party plunging to a meager 11. 2 percent the c. D. U. Finished in a distant 3rd place them behind the social democrats in the greens leaving its leaders in disarray. I will get straight to the point and not beat around the bush it is a better day for the german c. D. U. Its a historically bad election result for the c. D. U. In hamburg with proper support for the c. D. U. Slipping of a meter of mockingly dubbed the part of the Chaotic Demoralized Union now arguing that its suffering its deepest crisis in 2 decades unions woes being compounded further too by this months dramatic announcement that its leader and a great carroll is set to resign once replacements found once seen as only americas handpicked successor for the chancellorship the moves raised doubts about the political course being charted by both the party and the country i asked political commentator Steve Meissner just last hour how dire the situation is than for germanys christian democrats right now. Its looking pitch black for the c. P. U. Theres basically seems to have missed out on our exit time and the whole game is starting to fall apart right before very eyes she is in the process of destroying the city you hear its i would place this whole disaster basically firmly on her shoulders shes not left enough time for a successor to really move in and fill her boots and take over their place themselves again some experience and place themselves in a position to be able to fight and win an election 2021 so shes just not left enough room for people and shes missed her exit point basically shes really missed it. On a stone and woman says shes had to flee to russia to protect her daughters shes claiming asylum after her husband was acquitted of sexually abusing their children. Is a story. That falls out of its ability my older daughter started scratching her face i would ask her why do you scratching yourself you should hurt yourself and she would reply oh mom i feel guilty about what did turn us then we went to psychologist after several sessions she told me the girls are telling the truth about what they want to its a classic reaction in serous and has taken her 2 daughters to russia to keep them away from the norwegian father she accuses him of molesting the girls something he strongly denies according to her it started back in 2012 in norway when the girls were aged one and 2 particular sweatshirt when our younger daughter was born he offered to be their older daughter and he is something from the bathroom so i walked in without knocking i opened the door they were not washing the not even in the bath they were just standing there naked and i went on to describe the horrific details of that incident was from a story near obtain just story new passports for the girls and took them to her homeland but the husband hired a lawyer filed for custody and won the right to see the children for a week every 2 months. And it was legally unable to prevent him from taking the children to norway the other way by year after the 1st trip to the children would come back and tell me wed made naked with dad or where we slept naked with dad in the same bed sometimes the older one would wake up screaming for a long time i could in the to myself what was happening and make 2016 he once again brought the children back from a weeklong stay there i saw a very strange scene when we were saying goodbye i asked my daughter whether they played like that when they are in norway and my youngest one said yes. After that on a went to the store and police on a criminal case was opened she says a gynecologist examined the girls and found evidence suggested would be the father was then arrested and charged on a visit to the psychologist who gave some advice on how to get the truth from her own daughter although that was a survey of all the psychologists said i needed to talk to her in the home environment and when she started talking it was a nightmare she told me that her dad tickled there that it was painful but later at the trial they cues me of teaching my children what to tell the investigators and social workers despite the girls testimony the istari new court said there was insufficient evidence to convict you or steyn fencer us and so he was acquitted he then sued his wife and in 28000 managed to win custody of the children mr finster us and denies all the allegations against him my father was accused of doing something to a 1314 year old started losing and thats the leverage that my father was like that i have to be like that im a launched a legal appeal and turned to human Rights Groups for help but she was unable to overturn the ruling in january this year yourself insourcing was due to take the girls to norway. So ana decides to flee to russia taking the girls with them now being looked after while on his asylum claim is being processed. So.
