From the abuse of power. Helps release the full potential of a nation the global conference for Media Freedom is under way in london. Russian News Agency Sputnik barred from entering. A federal judge washington that its got to stop alleging that a russian firm that accused of election meddling was funded by the kremlin or face a range of potential sanctions the court found that such unsubstantiated claims against the Internet Research agency which are not included in the 28. 00 indictment against it risk prejudicing the jury where i guess they have reports. The Mueller Report the u. S. Investigation the media everyone accuses russia of carrying out a sweeping systematic. Campaign meddling campaign in the u. S. Election into in 2016 they did it via 2 methods the 1st one was. Intelligence Agency Hackers g. R. U. Haggis who broke into the d. N. C. Systems they allege stole a bunch of embarrassing democrat emails and then released them causing again embarrassment for the democrats all again allegedly russia denies all of this the 2nd part of the operation is the scribe William Burns the special counsel report outlines 2 main efforts by the russian government to influence the 2016 election. First the report details efforts by the Internet Research agency a Russian Company with close ties to the russian government to sow social discord among American Voters through decision from asian and social Media Operations he said Russian Operations or russian state the russian government operation the Internet Research agency theyre called the troll farm in the United States in the media theyre accused of spreading disinformation of Backing Trump denigrating Hillary Clinton spreading fake news meddling in the election theyre currently fighting a legal battle against the United States government and the judge has ordered the government to refrain from linking these companies the Internet Research agency and the russian government because in the Mueller Report said in the new report that they link this company to the russian government theyre carrying out orders on behalf of the russian government they offered proof saying the head of this Internet Research agency is an ally of lied to me a putin that theyve had a number of government contracts and they leave it at that thats supposed to establish that the company was acting on behalf of the extension of the russian government in the indictment. Legal documents with the charges with the accusations they make a new search link they call them a private entity a private company a federal judge now ordering the government to stop trying to link this private company me into the Research Agency which theyve called troll and the russian government because it is significant and prejudicial until a trial in the future stablish is otherwise if it does so a new york based journalist daniel is told me earlier that he believes the ruling is problematic for them your report the court has pointed up a great contradiction or a weakness in mueller muellers whole methodology the americans assume that russia and russians are the same thing but theyre not the half of that Mueller Reports thesis is now been invalidated by the other half of the special counsels. Case also very likely untrue because the scenario that mueller outlines in his report just doesnt make sense the chronology does not add up so essentially what happens we have the 2 parts muellers case now really just dont add up to anything at all theyre both equally weak. British ambassador to the United States of kundera has announced that hes stepping down after a series of highly critical comments he made about the Trump Administration which will link to the press in confidential cables sent back to officials in london the diplomatic describe the white house as dysfunctional inept and chaotic. Since the leak of official documents from this embassy there has been a great deal of speculation surrounding my position and that your ration of my remaining term as ambassador i want to put an end to that speculation the Current Situation is making it impossible for me to carry out my role as i would like britains most senior diplomat has been forced to resign and that comes after donald trump the president of the United States that he no longer be able to deal with him hes emails to the United Kingdom they in fact were leaked and they describe Donald Trumps administration as inept now this political scandal has been on ruffling over the last few days Prime Minister to resign may and the labor leader Jeremy Corbyn they were able to publicly back him in fact they said it was regrettable that he was forced to resign and theresa may went a step further in the house of commons earlier today explaining that british diplomats and politicians should be able to stand up for the principles they believe and if indeed they feel theyre under attack this is a matter of great regret that he has felt it necessary to leave his position. The. Whole cabinet rightly gave its full support to the kim on tuesday so kim has given a kidney has given a life time of service to the United Kingdom and we owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. Now it must be said that these robust assessments are in fact routine in secure Diplomatic Communications but of course donald trump has taken to his favorite platform of social media of twitter to vocalize his anger in fact calling for kim few fit guy i know it must be says that number 10 has tried to distance itself from 2nd direct assessments and communications by saying that they do not really support the u. K. Governments opinions having said that its not up to number 10 nor theresa may and what they have to say in fact all eyes are now on Boris Johnson or jeremy how. And of course one of the 2 will become the next Prime Minister and both of them have very different opinions when it comes to this political saga the wacky ambassador that the u. K. For we stood upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with a very stupid guy he should speak to his country and Prime Minister may about their failed breaks in negotiation and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was handled donald trump friend speak frankly so i will these comments disrespectful and wrong to our Prime Minister and my country you said the u. K. U. S. Alliance was the greatest in history and i agree but i need to treat each other with respect histories im a is always done with you ive got a Good Relationship with the white house and ive had no embarrassment in saying that the United States is has been will be for the foreseeable future our number one political military friend well there you had the gaffe prone guy Boris Johnson with his usual explicit flair and of course this has angered many in the house of commons who are deeply critical of Boris Johnson stance in fact that also includes the foreign 1 Office Minister sir alan duncan and hes accused mr johnson of throwing the ambassador under a bus now we do know that the British Government has announced a full scale investigation into how these unvarnished thoughts of the kim derek ended up on the front pages of a National Newspaper over the weekend following that many really are enraged and they really do believe that this is a very bad day for british diplomacy a very bad day for angloamerican relations because they consider the former now ambassador of the u. K. To the United States as a man who has been hailed with the height of professionalism and class when the latest edition of going underground which you can watch on r. T. Dot com a former White House Communications director tells Afshin Rattansi that he believes the British Ambassador was the victim of a political hit job inside the Foreign Office where were asked after the earlier who if anyone. Might stand to benefit from seconds departure. Well because Boris Johnson presumably the new Prime Minister of this country in jew weeks time was the foreign secretary and had access to all manner of the intelligence operators but of course in a sense this is also mysterious and i did ask and hes going about this we knew through Edward Snowden who is daken asylum in moscow that the 5 eyes project indeed the National Security agency they have access to encrypted emails all around the world why did it take a leak from london to a british newspaper to inform donald trump the britains man in washington had such a low opinion of donald trump do they not know these things without people here for whatever political reasons for whatever whatever hit me and reasons they can they just get it from surveillance do they really need it leaked because of internal politics here that is about the succession after to resume in downing street. Day one of the global conference for Media Freedoms being held in london cohosted by britain and canada however not all media were allowed through the doors r. T. In Russia Sputnik Beauty Agency were barred from the party. A free media both protects society from the abuse of power. And helps release the full potential of a nation signing factors and making speeches is an arson they must make sure that their laws respect Media Freedom this former like to reduce journalists is simple and effective and government in many countries are Getting Better at destroying different bricks. Than that was. Still lists. And thats. The use against the politicians if we dont stand up and fight for Media Freedom 60 minutes is the thousands of reports and thousands of esteemed members of Civil Society and academics are all due to attend this inaugural conference on Media Freedoms around the world its hosted by the u. K. And the canadian governments here in london one of the special guests is a certain a mole clooney the International Human rights lawyer also the wife to the hollywood Actor George Clooney shes been appointed britains special envoy on Media Freedoms here at this event the gates to which are just behind me but guess who isnt going to be inside thats right its me here i am billy no mates outside left out in the cold because myself and my artsy colleagues and also colleagues at sputnik which is the other russian News Organization that broadcast in english weve all been banned from attending the global conference on Media Freedoms we applied in good time for press accreditation like all the other Media Outlets and we received a pretty standard stock reply i said unfortunately we have been unable to approve your application to a credit as media i think that should have been a warning sign but we thought maybe we just theyve run out of space theres nothing specifically about us in that reply but behind our backs other news channels got a very different message we have not accredited or sputnik because of their active role in spreading disinformation well its not possible to accommodate all requests for recruited fiction journalists from across the worlds media are attending the conference including from russia the russian government is. Impressed with this lack of hospitality to say the least the Russian Embassy here in london has written to the Foreign Office to express its expressed resolute disagreement with what has taken place and Russias Foreign Ministry spokesperson marie as a heart of us also weighed in take a listen. Has demonstrated their true intentions and to to me to freedom by turning the event into the means of achieving opportunistic political and we believe other countries and responsible journalists will draw their appropriate conclusions and we hope the human rights n. G. O. S and Relevant International agence hes will not shy away from stating their position. And the r. T. News organization itself has released a statement take a listen it takes a particular brand of hypocrisy to advocate for freedom of press and inconvenient voices and slandering alternative media. The world has learned to expect just that from the u. K. Foreign office are not the only journalists that cant attend the global conference on Media Freedoms i dont want to compare myself to Julian Assange but the editor of wiki leaks is currently incarcerated in a prison in his london and there is a small demonstration here calling for his release chanting freedom to Julian Assange and now julian the songes mother found out about r c not being allowed to attend and shes tweeted her response take a listen to why she thinks we havent been allowed maybe r. T. Will still listen practicing Media Freedom by reporting the facts of the political persecution of my son journalist julian the sunshine nor to north dont you realize you are supposed to get Us Government clearance 1st then and only then are you free to publish one more important thing to note here which i think is quite curious. Is that although russian state funded news outlets which broadcast in russia so some colleagues of mine here in london have been allowed they have been accredited and they have been inside attending the conference as for me im out here ive got my eyes on this restaurant. Former british piste from wolves as far as he sees it the b. B. C. And t. V. All the different london is sending a clear message to moscow. Well i think altie is being singled out of the sea because its seen by the Foreign Office many politicians both here in the United Kingdom in europe and the United States as being the voice in vehicle of the russian government will want to could argue that the b. B. C. In many ways is the voice of the british establishment particularly if you look at the way that the European Union and the referendum and the brics issue is being discussed upon by the b. B. C. So i think while that is is the Foreign Office is very clearly making a statement to president putin and the russian establishment that we will not have your voice listened to in new york and we will try and stop if we can. Increasing numbers of people with diabetes in the United States say they have no choice but to go to canada to get affordable in chile a group we spoke to spent 15 hours on a bus trip to buy their medication but it costs a 10th of what it does in the u. S. So this is when i just went to c. V. S. In minneapolis minnesota and the retail price of that vile is 340. 00 when i saw a london ontario to pick it out at the walmart pharmacy there. In u. S. Dollars the retail price was 26. 00 so there is a huge price discrepancy and so for so Many Americans they just simply cant afford it i have never had to personally ration insulin but from the high cost of insulin i have had to go into debt because of it ive had to put it on credit cards ive had to reach out to family members to help me pay for it because it has gotten too expensive that i cant cover it. Because that astronomical cost but i also realize there are people that are not as fortunate as me and they dont have family members they can reach out. So you can help bail them out. According to the Diabetes Association in the u. S. 30000000 there are diagnosed with the illness while more than 7000000 rely on the insured and the remains the treatment for diabetics to control their glucose levels has been around a while though it was 1st produced in 921 interim so in canada back then the paper was sold for just one dollar with the hope of making the treatment available to anyone who needed it but a spike in prices between 20122016 hours for some to start rationing their medication nicole smith told from the Diabetes Charity Team One International told us about the tragic consequences of having to limit doses. The price is raised over 200 percent the past 20 years and theres just no reason why its been increasing to the point where people just theyre dying because they cant afford their insulin my family has paid the ultimate price of the pharmaceutical Companies Price gouging their patients in 2017 my 26 year old son passed away. From diabetic ketoacidosis from rationing as insulin and he was rationing it because he couldnt afford it the Monthly Price for his insulin and diabetic supplies was 1300. 00 is good and to such an extreme that people are resorting to some really drastic measures to be able to get affordable insulin and people are traveling outside of the United States and going to other countries to purchase it where its actually affordable. The director of the Washington Pain Management Center told us hes calling for fair competition in the United States pharmaceuticals industry. Sometimes it happens the United States the f. D. A. Requires pharmaceutical industry to have a certain standard of care and standards are great but sometimes Small Businesses cannot enter that market because its such a barrier by making a 1000 dollars or 3000. 00 a year in a product when i as a company want to get into that maybe we need 6 companies maybe you need a company and the way that you do that is again make sure theres a less of a barrier to make this product if you use competition then me as a patient im empowered to understand how much is this medication cost this product equally as good why i want maybe you know take the lesser expensive medication and the other. Its been revealed that one of the alleged mastermind of the 2015 paris terror attacks was offered 500 euros compensation for illegal terms of detention cell or was in a prison cell and a permanent surveillance which is in violation of european human rights law our correspondent in from shot to do bensky has been looking into the case. So a lot of dislike and infamous name and the last remaining member of a group behind the worst terror attack in frank. Just months later 32. 00 people were killed in cold water native bombings on brussels major transport tops is now serving a 20 Year Prison Sentence yet its in now and there is this selfconfessed the hardest has found himself on the right side of the legal system of the french stay. I was forced to pay him 500 euros why do you bring abdul slums incarceration here france he was subjected to stop surveillance back in 2016 then Justice Minister explained why that decision was taken i made a ministerial order authorizing Video Surveillance 24 hours a day and on the basis of this decree which i took after consultation with the National Commission on informatics and liberty i took an individual decision on mr disallowed to be put into Video Surveillance even the unions supported the governments position why is that scope of surveillance was justified. In this case Video Surveillance was an effective means of ensuring that the individual did no harm himself and if needed stand trial for what he did but does loans continue to challenge it and they won in 2017 these mr to court agree that his detention conditions were illegal but this information has only just come to light and its causing outrage. The french judiciary has condemned the state to pay 500 euros to a terrorist who caused the deaths of more than 130 people and left 400 injured on the 13th of november 25th seen this is a disgrace im appalled by the court order to pay 500. 00 euros to so obviously this legal outrage must be reviewed urgently this french stay owes nothing to islamist barbarians so what do people here in paris make of this case that more honestly i dont think that 500 euros is a lot and i also agree with the human rights side of it but he didnt respect the human rights of the people either i believe that when you are. Creating crime that is so horrific that perhaps you should just lose all of your entitlement and a privilege is president. Absolutely not thats not normal he committed a crime and now we have to pay him its not normal see really amazing that the french government or 2. 00 previous few 100. Votes if we are looking to do a side of the justice weve got some rules weve got some lows and we need to respect the law. Is no good at all because hes still a terrorist and should be the other way he should be charging condemned some very diverse opinions on a subject that many people were simply shocked by it seems though that does lamb has no intention of taking the money so far hes refused it charlotte do you can ski off to see paris or we asked our guests whether laws need modernizing in the face of terror or change sets a dangerous precedent to long held judicial norms. The issue around how we was treated by the french authorities is an important issue regardless of ones background regardless of ones you know situation in terms of what theyve been accused of the rule of law applies equally to the same case in belgium actually where they receive compensation because they are a restricted area within prison and they get one euro per day i mean this is ridiculous its not the fact that theyre received one euro its the fact that the court goes as far as losing time on this issue i mean in middle Eastern Countries there is none of that well the reality is somewhat different the people who carried out those a terrorist attacks in paris and in brussels some of them have got very serious sentences theyve been given life sentences of 20 plus years you know we look here in the u. K. Theres been many terror plots that have been foiled and the people involved have been given long custodial sentences but i think that the sentences should be the real sentences that the judge pronounces if it is 2030 years life it is life it is 30 years or 20 years people in the street. Should not get emotional about this but they dont understand the system they have the impression that the victims are penalized while the Justice System defense criminals but youve got to take your own emotion out of it and said that the law applies equally to every single citizen and if the authorities the police are not above the law in western societies and if theyve done any particular action which is brought their authority into disrepute then there should be consequences and thats what the judge awarded damages to this individual. Germanys rejected an official request from washington to send Ground Troops to Northern Syria to support the United States anti terror operations that the decision appears to be aligned with chancellor Angela Merkels position that there can be no military solution to the war torn countries words. We remain convinced that only a political process. Based on u. N. Mechanisms is capable of ending the bloodshed in syria given the Syrian People the opportunity to decide their countrys political future in free elections together with the un and our International Partners do many will continue to make Real Progress the u. S. Request to germany was made by a senior diplomat on friday he said washington seeking trainers logistics specialists and technicians to replace some of its personnel adding that they would not necessarily have to engage in direct combat despite islamic states collapse america maintains a troop presence in syrian kurdistan to prevent the terror groups resurgence a member of germanys the left party told us though that he believes berlin made the right decision. You cannot just be president of the territory of another country without being invited by its legitimate government and since germany has not been invited by president assad we cannot just send troops there so the government was in fact right and its not a central german voters i dont want any foreign intervention in syria german voters want their army to stay here and not to intervene and are that so it is a bit unusual for her not to follow through with any request from washington but you have to understand in the context of the growing Peace Movement throughout germany jonis for now get alerts rather talk with the r.
