only increased what us present. there were a lot of them with prison tattoos. convicts can easily be recognized by their behavior. we were picked up at the bus stop. i didn't have my passport with me. they checked us with some were released, but some were not as a result and i was on my knees in my former school. they tied my hands. i stood like that from 6 am to 8 pm. what one of them would come

claim to be the biggest leak of classified se documents in history? the whistleblower disclosed information about the agency software used to hack smartphones and spiral people weld white when shulty began to harbor resentment toward the ca, he covered li, collected those tools and provided them to wiki leaks, making some of our most critical intelligence tools known to the public and therefore our adversaries, schulty has been convicted for one of the most brazen and damaging acts of espionage in american history. joshua sheltie has been convicted of lying to the f . b. i other charges all stemming from the allegation that he leads classified information. the information that was included in the famous wiki leaks vault sabbath. now this was his re trial 2 years ago, he was brought to trial and us federal courts. and at his 1st trial, the jury only agreed to conduct him on 2 charges, and they were hung about the remaining 6. joshua schulty, at this trial, has been convicted on all a charges lying to the f. b. i and other charges related to the staff and leaking of classified information that was included in the wiki leagues, ball 7, the biggest intelligence leak in history. ricky leaks, vault 7, contained all kinds of information about these surveillance apparatus of the american intelligence agencies. the mechanisms through which they listen to people's phone conversations, spy on people on which they hack into people's computers and otherwise violate what many considered to be the civil liberties of americans. it's not surprising that he was convicted because at this point, the conviction rate in us federal courts is roughly 95 percent 95 percent of cases that go to trial and u. s. corps result in conviction. and it's important to note that very few cases actually go to trial. most of them have plea bargains that prevent a trial from taking place. regardless, we can recall the chelsea man. it was convicted of leaking classified information to wiki league. spent 7 years in prison before brock obama ultimately commuted her status. and in addition to that, this conviction comes on the heels of julian, a saw the founder of wiki leaks to whom walt 7 information was leaked. comes on the heels of the decision to expedite julian, a sorry on the part of u. k. officials, while the officials claim the whistleblowers actions, but the country security endanger. independent journalist jo, laurie a disagrees in the shelters, leagues were beneficial for the public by reading this material on rekey leaks is released of all 7. you can't use this software to rack somebody, so they protected all the information. what they did was in the public interest to let the public know that she was doing these kinds of things. so there was no national security risk whatsoever, not just hogwash from the government, typical. and in fact, the materials, according to children who represent himself, these materials were out and about for a year before the shy even knew that they were that they were loose, that they didn't lost control of them because they got back doors. i phones, android phones, in fact, this led to most of the big tech companies making changes to their software to close these back doors. but they would not have known about that went out this week so that the user of these phones at least initially were more secure because of the revelations, whatever whoever is guilty. and the jury said he is, he says he's not, he's a hero, because he revealed crimes committed by the united states by the cia and that is, or by elation of the 4th amendment. british opposition parties are calling for a probe into allegations revealed by a b b. c. investigation that's uncovered evidence of unlawful killings by the special ed service. or i say yes. during missions, enough gone is done. the last night's panorama with the joint investigation with the times newspaper has exposed yet again, more evidence of unlawful killings by special forces. this time in afghanistan, when this came up before the government and in particular, the m. o. d was determined to sweep this under the carpet u. k. minister defense dismissed the allegations, calling them on justified the investigation uncovered the personal details of individuals who served with the esa yes. who allegedly witness troops killing anom detainees during nitrates, as well as punting weapons at the scene to justify their actions or the units. so bras apparently knew of the possible atrocities, but failed to properly look into the evidence. ah, with with too many people being killed on night rates. once somebody is detained, they shouldn't end up dead. it was clear at the time that something was wrong with them when they walked back into a different building with another fighting h mail to open the curtains. he grabbed your grenade from behind the curtain and stood at the essay assault him. fortunately didn't go off, this is the 8th time this has happened. you couldn't make it up with, they didn't necessarily translate into, let's kill them all. but suddenly, there was a pressure job again, which basically man pass in our judgments on these people quickly with col, okay. the pool bearing vision here for the last 20 years was completely illogically . what while he was a violation of international law and the standard set within the international code of ethics, this is a poor country attacked by all those forces africans from all segments of live, including the taliban, were attacked in presently tortured and killed while their businesses and properties were damaged, all these actions were cruel, illegal, and violation of human rights charter. dfcs is an elite units of the british army with much information about the regiments classified as specializes in missions connected with counter terrorism, direct action, and hostage rescue. yes, he has also played a role in the war in afghanistan, and we spoke a war veteran at the colts. he believes that such a situation should not have been allowed to happen. special quarters church, i don't go in on willy nilly kill people. you know, they haven't got pranks at the shelby's, they quote, to get specific targets that are deemed as threats a life and daughter can kellen, ma'am they going to and the killer capture those individuals the mimic, wait and try and capture them. if you can capture them, you can bring them back. you can try and get as much information as you can to help . she will arrive. so pretty special portion do not go out to kill people, they want to capture and bring back the intelligence. you gotta understand that the british forces are like every other forces. are we have our own standers. we know that it's wrong, the point to weapon it's somebody isn't an immediate threat to life. it's wrong to do so. i've never seen it happen in my company. i've never seen any that men around me do it, as we know right for wrong, we're not, we're not killers. we also spoke to the international editor of the morning star newspaper, steve sweeney who claims that there have been other similar precedence and was reminiscent of what happened in islands. now we know that the british armed forces run a mock that killing hundreds of innocent civilians in collusion with loyalist paramilitaries . and we know that there's been a long struggle for justice for the people of body murphy in west belfast. and for the people of dairy, where bloody the bloody sunday kings took place, they pointed something very rotten in the procedure forces. an ultimately the person stay. yeah, what we're talking about here is some very serious war crimes that have been covered by the state. and of course this has been carried out with impunity. and, you know, the invasion of afghanistan itself was something that was, was bitterly opposed to 20 years of or in this crimes it took place. we saw similar allegations made against australian soldiers. and their commission of inquiry was, was to do with a ship for you. most of the guy that were made joe biden has arrived in israel at the start of the 4 dates hall of the middle east. the u. s. president's trip didn't get off to the best of starts. i will once more return to holla, round of yod chavez, the sham doner. 6000000 jewish lives were stolen into genocide and continue which we must through every, every day. continue to bear witness to keep alive the truth and honor of the holocaust. horrible, holler, god honor those we last will that the stake of joe biden has been picked up here. ivy is waiting in palestinian praise of co site and has made mistakes in the past. he once mixed up sweden and switzerland, if you remember before that it was south korea and once he got syria and libya confused. so that is something that has the social commentators talking about here tonight. at the same time, biden is going to receive a rather reluctant, and i would go as far as to say, a rather angry response on the palestinian st. they are all banners and package that have been placed, particularly in cities like bethlehem. way he will be meeting with the palestinian president of not where the best in the coming days and those plaque cod say, mr. president, this is a parties. it is in line with the recent publication by a palestinian christian organization who conducted an investigation and reached the conclusion that israeli actions can be classified as a poll tate at the same time. many people here are waiting for a potentially different response from washington regarding the recent killing of a high profile. al jazeera journalist, shaheen abil place, soaking. her family once on says and palestinian officials and palestinians civilians themselves have said that the us says response and that the soldiers actions were to quote unintentional, is simply white washing the crimes conducted by israel. as for these rainy side, we have heard from the temporary israeli prime minister, yet yellow pit, and he has said that you is the number one topic on the agenda. there has been criticism against this with many people saying that joe biden is in the region to store up some kind of alliance against he ran. and that, that is his primary focus of this trip. and so he, the iranian president has commented on it more if the goal of the u. s. officials trip to the region is to consolidate the security of israel and normalize israel's relations with regional countries. we are declaring vigorously that their actions would not bring security for israel, and by no means are they peace providers for israel. now biting in the past has also said that he is looking towards some kind of middle east and nato. this has not gone down well here, particularly with many people pointing fingers as how be common to nato has contributed to the conflict in ukraine. so anger and frustration on the palestinian st. we are placing ourselves for demonstrations. they are in the coming days. and i would say here in telephone, where i am, although these way the officials are saying all the right things. and there are speech lined with american in his way, the flags talking to his radio. there's almost a kind of lack luster moved amongst people here. no one really believes that that's visit by joe biden. the 1st that he's making as president of the united states is going to yield anything or radio host and political commentators. steve gill told us he's not optimistic the true will be a success. as tensions in the region remain high. tensions are high in the region. they remain high in the region, and i don't think that we're looking for any real success coming from this trip in terms of either new trainees, new movement towards peace in the, in the middle east, both between israel, the palestinians, and saudi arabia, or even in the broader region with iran still threatening, more threatening, military action, threatening to disrupt thanks. so i would be very surprised if there's anything really positive or substantial that comes from the president's visit. you know, i think the a gap by biden, in confusing honor and har when referencing the holocaust, when they pretty much everybody in the world recognize it was a horrific loss of 6000000 lives. is by biting standards a relatively minor gap. but when you're trying to embark on a foreign visit and you want to put your best foot forward tripping as you get off the plane verbally, is not the way to start your business. he's trying to thread a needle of being able to meet with the israelis and then meet with the saudis and not appear to be showing a preference for one or the other. i think he's looking desperately for anything that can make him look more presidential, more like a world leader. but again, the fact that he looks fragile, he can't really communicate very effectively whether it's domestically or whether it's internationally that is not adding any any stature to this particular president. in the news, a small yamini island currently occupied by the united arab emirates consume play host to parts of the u. s. lead missile defense system. but critiques claimed that would undermine washington's opposition to taking territory by force with the civil war raging in yemen. u. a e troops landed on sir culture in 2018 and began to expand the influence even establishing a military presence. abu dhabi plans to put missile defense senses on the island, which would support an emerging us let a lions made up of israel and several are states. i should german founder and president of the given relief and reconstruction foundation. believes this move may inflame tensions in the region. the way i see it, it's actually going to create more instability in the end engine. it's getting, you know, make a lot more wars in the region that's already on fire. so it is creating instability. it's going to create more wars. the u. s. is really not going to benefit from instability in the middle east. as we know, fuel prices are more instability in the middle east would even make that work. it's not just for the us, but for the international community as well. so we have, we see a behavior of supported by the u as impacting the international community. and countries that are on the globe, both a u. e and saturday has committed war crimes in yemen. so we have countries that have committed war crimes being brought together by the next stage to form an alliance. so i feel sorry for the region. if an alliance like this for criminals is going to be established, and again, that will lead to a lot of food scares in the region. a large number of military personnel have flooded the streets of columbia, and this comes amid mass unrest in shall anchored despite the nation wide curfew. a large number of soldiers and military vehicles are patrolling the streets with tanks and fences placed along city roads. the military presence was expanded after yesterday's demonstrations when protested, angered at worsting economic and social conditions broke into the prime minister's office. ah, with the least used water cannon and sir gus against the protesters, but were unable to stop them taken over, run ill with remiss in his office demonstrations continued despite the country's president, seeing he would resign from his post, at least 30 people were injured in the clutches ortiz correspondence rondon sharma, reports the situation and sri lanka is going from bad to worse to. i'm thinkable does a complete sense of chaos and anarky. tens of thousands of people are out and about on the streets of colombo. despite a state of emergency being declared, and a cough you imposed after president calls by roger puck, shall fled from minister donald wickham. cindy has been made the acting president, but that has not helped matters. she lumpkins want both the prime minister, as well as the president to resign. immediately, security forces use tear gas and water cannons at the protest as earlier. but dad did not stop them from breaking through the gates and flooding. the prime minister's office. the taking all the prime minister's office city, i asked all filling the gap between the select reach. i don't want to list everybody else in the county. strangely, door does a sense of order in this disorder, men, women, children, all take turns to see a quick look at the prime minister's office from the inside. these 2 have emotional under toys of anger betrayal, but it was so if you look at the history on the appreciated from off wanted to go, leaders are actually the mom. we have 225 employees that do not represent that name . honestly, people, so they go to produce a 1000000000 the people's movement has just gotten to this point because a representatives have failed to serve. johnson failed to do right by the people who live in the state of the people that are taking mca. we don't stop because we need justice. we don't stop. 7 this is not only for us, it's for the next generation to where it's coming up and you can see how, how you all yesterday or do. and yes and they know all did like, everything is down now, right? so even some people are losing their job income, right over the income. yeah, it's looking off, right. everything is going high, the prices are higher, so we need no solution. the clock is ticking while we await the feet of the current government and the future direction of the entire country. region sharma, reporting for r t in colombo. the chinese foreign minister has accused the u. s. of using us ian countries as chess spawns, and it's attempts to put pressure on chinese presence in the pacific region. we should insulate this region from geopolitical calculations and the trap of the law of the jungle from being used as chess pieces in major power rivalry and from coercion. this comes a mid rising tensions between beijing and washington in the indo pacific area with u. s. existing pressure on the 10 asean countries. meanwhile, u. s. secretary of state antony blink and has accused russia of creating a world where big nations can bully small nations, citing the russia ukraine conflicts. but many have called out the hypocrisy of such a statement coming from the u. s. official. if russia is allowed to do what it's doing, that means that we're going to go back to a world in which might makes right in which big nations can bully small nations. that's the opposite of the rules based order. or you heard from marco gosset, internal affairs international, excuse me, affairs commentator, who says that the u. s. has been bullying small nations since the end of the cold war blinking the recent statement is absolutely ridiculous, only shows the one eyed nature over the way the u. s to seize the world because the us, as we know, as soon as the end of the soviet union since the end of the cold war and secular been bullying small, ations interminable lee as a way of projecting its own power worldwide. the stages of the us is undisputed believe is the thing that the us wishes to maintain. and any nations that do not sign on to us protection will that receive the us punishment. and that's what we call bullying. and that's what we call progression and false and isn't illegal to false, which the u. s. has already demonstrated initially, and you flavio and when that when they got away with that u. s. demonstrate to the, in iraq and libya and so on and so forth. it's the u. s. game plan. you will do it nicely if you agree, and if you don't agree we're going to believe. so the idea of lincoln that he wants to stop this kind of system in the world is, is ridiculous. what we can wants to do is to confine bullying to the us and the u. s. power. no one else. the main stories this our do you head over to r t dot com or our social media pages for more money speak to scott and he's been great. have you with us? ah ah.
