Censors conservative. Documents tain raised serious questions about whether these companies are neutral platforms or publishers wouldnt. Be getting thanks for joining us this is r. T. Internet. Whistleblower Julian Assange could be facing more than a century and a half behind bars in the United States but he wont find out whether that will happen until at least next february after an extradition hearing in the u. K. Was postponed until the. More. But it really was crunch time for 2 in the sun just this extradition request was being hurt here at Westminster Magistrates Court though he was given a glimmer of hope he will not face the full extradition until february of next year and 2020 its understood that a 5 day hearing will take place at a later date off to february the 24th which his lawyers have agreed to the timetable now of course it to follow indeed yesterday the u. K. s home secretary such as shafiq signing that crucial order that paves the way for this edition of procedure now he believes that this was the skewing the right course of justice but protest as an activist here outside westminster much to say school think that this is not the course of justice in fact completely goes against justice and simply they believe that this is the gangs freedom of expression prize you know there are more journalists here come the. Investigative journalism is under now we should be released and i think this know enough people will realise this is such an attack on freedom and also just to do everything for the right of us to know whats going on the things that he exposed the american model machine thats what we should be checking in so well today might be slightly more symbolic in terms of laying out the procedures and the very next step it does actually set the ball rolling towards extradition to the United States for 2 innocent we know in the United States theyve been directed to on to 17 counts under the espionage act 4 have classified documents related to the iraq war on the war in afghanistan but also one of conspiracy to hack a government computer to actually these secret classified documents while some say his crimes his socalled alleged crimes awful whistle blowing and indeed posing a National Security risk and threat many say that he will not face a fair trial in the United States and thats an opinion thats been held also by the wiki leaks editor in chief i do believe that we are going. To win this with legal argument there is no chance that julian will get a fair trial here in the u. K. Or in the u. S. Of course unless theres a change of reporting that people actually start speaking out were not talking about a prosecution were talking about a persecution opposed to misunderstand back into the public on this year in april when he was pulled out of the Ecuadorian Embassy by British Police he was there for a low amount of time in fact 2 and a half 1000 days which is the sum amount of 7 years in that confinement he was a full seeking political asylum that he then moved to belmarsh prison where he was serving out his 50 week sentence for skipping fell in 20 trout now this is actually a video filmed inside got belmarsh prison that was obtained by alex he brought me which is the video agency and in this footage you can see your innocence the king someone may see it didnt go to trial its known that hes not a dramatic amount of weight you know something that his father has voiced concerns of earlier this week and we know that he was also sent to the medical ward in prison there but on top of all of this its not just the United States wants to decide hes also wanted for swedish prosecutors far locations of Sexual Assault something of course good asuncion selfimage lead to noise and he also believes its a pretext to extradite him to the United States earlier i was doing fine Award Winning australian journalist john pilger he was also in the court room behind me when that ruling was indeed and now says he told me that this is an incredibly difficult moment the freedom of expression you know best me and i have a direct impact on journalist well why charges will be made up the charges. To the 1st debate to the us going situation. What they found to you is that he is a publisher. Released of information which he has a right to do under the us. Sponsorship of the u. S. Wants to see itself as a great bastion. Of free speech no its not when it arrests which of us and thats why so Many American term us are now so nervous about this. Because it applies to very close to you guys to be close to everybody who is a journalist who is what they call the 1st to get it. It means that journalists when they are almost certainly be intimidated from doing their job. We spoke to tracy was the duchess of both for turns to lose his friend she believes he may not get a fair trial if hes extradited to the states june in a sign shes not an american he goes to the americans he wont be covered by free speech 1st amendment of their constitution so its gets very dangerous for everybody who in any way is working towards revealing the truth whether you are a journalist or a human rights expert or an environmentalist and any time that you criticize the American Government its secret Service Since its military you could be deliberately extradited by the British Government why cant we stand up on our own 2 feet and say no hes a hero he has allowed us to have information which is precious we need to know if i government is committing crimes in war we need to know if its true committing crimes in the democratic process. This man is a beacon of hope for free speech. Among Julian Assange to supporters is laurie love loves a well known british hacker who was charged by u. S. Authorities for stealing classified data from Government Agencies including nasa and the army 2018 he won a landmark appeal after a british judge ruled against loves extradition to the states citing fears he commits suicide while in the custody of american or thirties now hes speaking out in support of a sanch free fighting and we will succeed again he will be worried that it will not be accepted by us they just think its none of us should be able to live with. The training that youve been eating and of that courage. That we would have betrayed journalism and she had with these things and if you could bring. Washingtons claim iran was responsible for attacking 2 oil tankers in the gulf of man downcast on it earlier the u. S. Presented a video claiming to show iranians removing an unexploded mine from one of the vessels the tankers owner says that his crew reported the boat being hit by flying projectiles more than a good job with the crew see they were headed by a flying object we dont think it could have been a bomb attached to the boat was mentioned the u. S. Militarys Central Command claims the video here shows irans responsibility iranian leader Hassan Rouhani has accused the u. S. Of d. Stabilizing peace and security in the middle east but secretary of state my compost said no one else in the region had the capacity to carry out such an attack. Islamic republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman no proxy Group Operating in the or has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. Over the last 2 years the us has been implementing an aggressive approach violating International Law and using its financial and military clout this poses a serious threat to the region and to Global Security irans foreign minister branded the claims his country was behind the attacks sabotage diplomacy russias foreign minister said that the us was creating an artificial escalation of tensions in the region with more details his aunties killing more people. So there were 2 or oil tankers that were hit. Back after we had rewarded. And weve learned. From a bit of time to from folks there you know. Is. Going on with a company here to go and hes going to go out and be our new. Group or everybody but by the book the doc is going to be civil but that appeared in the in the did it will get on the. Lets go over the facts now the 1st one belongs to John Frederick 2 so hes a long time norwegian trading partner of iran his relationship with iran goes back to the 1980 s. One biography even refers to him as the ayatollah as lifeline so at a time when washington is using all kinds of pressure to try and stop or running an oil exports it really doesnt make sense for iran to then lash out and attack one of its oldest friends now the 2nd oil tanker to be hit is even more interesting this is a japanese owned chemical tanker and it was hit at the same time that japans Prime Minister shinzo abbay was in tehran meeting with irans Supreme Leader is that. Iran from the ancient times of the persian empire into the present day has been the great country of the middle east and will remain so i mean the future so were to believe that at the time that iran was making nice with japan while japan was helping them to find ways to help their oil exports keep flowing despite u. S. Sanctions that iran then turns around and decides to bomb a japanese vessel in fact iran has been rather nice to the United States in the last few days a us resident who is charged with espionage was just released as a gesture of good will so why would they then choose this moment to fire tar paedos in the gulf of oman the Iranian Foreign minister judge zarif is describing these events as suspicious reports of the tax on japan related to tank use occurred while pm was meeting with ayatollah for extensive and friendly talks suspicious doesnt begin to describe what likely transpired this morning while iran is struggling to keep its nuclear deal intact and keep its economy afloat by selling its most prized resources on the International Market like bomb peo would have us believe they then flipped out and torpedoed their 2 key Business Partners now why exactly would iran do that well because theyre the bad guys of course dont ask too many questions hale bopp and r. T. New york the 2 vessels call far in one of the worlds key oil routes near the strait of hormuz its the only way in and out of the gulf the incident prompted all prices to surge to around 3 has threatened to shut the waterway in response to u. S. Threats about sanctions to mr a senior lecturer from Lancaster University thinks that theres no evidence the tankers were attacked by iran. Remember that the food is that we see a grainy black and white pictures and it doesnt say whether these are iranians because there is no evidence to suggest that it is indeed an iranian battle board and how do we know that the people who are on board are iranians in fact and if the iranians did it why would they be so silly. To kind of open themselves up to criticism when the noid very well that there are surveillance cameras satellites going around taking these pictures thats number one and number 2 is the fact that we have harder jubilantly pointed out. When evidence of been doctored and we have. Kind of some mis and hooch and not actually revealing the truth and that is the reason why i would use the very phrase weapons of mass deception. You tube has removed a video by project veritas which and covers the way social media pinterest allegedly senses conservative views twitter also chanted temporarily banning the group for sharing internal communications from pinterest the founder of project veritas as accuse each tube of waging war on journalism.

Troops over from war groups so what did this whistleblower get in return for shedding some light on social Media Censorship the boot from his job and the backlash didnt stop there. Twitter also suspended project veritas after the organization leaked pinterest employee chats publishing conversations without permission violated the terms of service they said but the published talks revealed employees calling ben shapiro a white supremacist the pinterest insider also saw how quote white supremacist unquote content like ben shapiros commentary for instance goes from identified to censored and somehow his name found its way to pinterest sensitive terms list alongside cocaine and some not so very tasty sandwiches see the connection and to be honest this isnt the 1st time project veritas has so controversially done what journalists are supposed to do.

Licenses for the over 70 fives lotties might get as the of has been respecting and. Elders looking out for them is one thing but moneys money if a 75 year old can watch t. V. They sure as heck can pay for it says the b. B. C. Currently all households with people over 75. 00 are entitled to a free t. V. License that government funded scheme which is expected to cost 745000000. 00 pounds by 2021 slash 22. 00 comes to an end in 2023 teles over the grandpas and grandmas time to cough up in short millions of pensioners many of the disabled and living on very modest incomes are going to have to sponsor the b. B. C. Because the corporation doesnt feel like shutting some of its hugely expensive projects the b. B. C. Did the math right what they got wrong was the public reaction outrage boycott the b. B. C. There is disgrace money grabbing all sound a 5 year old should be exempt from pains a license fee. So over 70 fives have served their country and worked for decades to make our country a better place will not be church 154. 00 pounds for a t. V. License a week after d. Day commemorations shima new b. B. C. Petitions popping up left and right anger frustration a feeling of injustice why of those who worked serve the nation for decades being put in the same level as everyone outs where are your manners even government ministers Party Leaders are upset pensioners have spent their lives contributing to our society providing over 74 hours with 3 t. V. Licenses is not too much to ask here is the kicker the b. B. C.

Of today the quality of their programmes dont justify the billions that go into it with the latest public hits show hosted by a cartoon Vladimir Putin who has what appears to be a middle eastern accent.

Needs more money the poor fellows cant even afford a russian voice actor public patience is wearing thin for those that are getting tired of the scandals of the scandal coming out of the b. B. C. Be it ridiculous salaries for the top guys or lack of objectivity so many british people are asking openly why are they still paying to own t. These in the age of the internet almost certainly this idea of a t. V. Being a separate box that different to your computer will completely disappear. From many many households and then the question do you have a t. V. Will become a weird question to ask by the way the b. B. C. Is still 250000000 pounds short of keeping the all of its stuff on there so if you have any ideas of who else to squeeze for a few more quid immigrants gingers centenarians dont hesitate get in touch ill appreciate it of the b. B. C. s decision comes after the u. K. Government passed the cost of funding for the licenses for over 70. 00 fives onto the broadcaster the b. B.

And it is extraordinary the 10 percent of the people who go to court in britain are going to court about t. V. Licensing issues and that most of those people are little old ladies and some of them may even end up in prison for not paying a t. V. License i think there is an argument that people are deeply concerned about the elitist liberal direction of the b. B. C. Theyre concerned because it pursues certain agendas for example its very positive on Global Warming this is a major issue for the b. B. C. It doesnt like mr trump it doesnt like wrecks it and a lot of people feel theres been a huge political bias not just in b. B. C. News programs but in b. B. C. Comedy and in other output i mean this is a very big issue.
