An american journalist claims the u. S. Is trying to steal his freedom and silence him after his recent arrest concerning an alleged attack on a woman during protests at the Venezuelan Embassy in washington in may fall has told r. T. He believes its linked to his reporting in which hes critical of u. S. Support for political change in venezuela. Why 5 months after the incident alleged in the Court Documents and this false charge did i have a team of Police Officers show up and demand entry to my house and take me to prison for 2 days without access to a lawyer i was told by someone who has very good inside knowledge of this case that a judge already rejected the warrant and i for the last 5 months have been able to walk free i have traveled in and out of the country if there had been a warrant at any point i would have already been arrested furthermore. Why didnt they notify me that there was a warrant so i could turn myself in and show up at my own arraignment because i have nothing to fear im completely innocent im not a flight risk why didnt they do that its an attempt to persecute me for the journalism that weve done at the gray zone because at the gray zone we have been at the forefront of exposing the u. S. Against venezuela of exposing one team for the covert and overt u. S. Support theyve received and for the massive corruption and now theyre trying to steal my freedom. Police say the woman in question identifying the identify the journalist from a photo shes a supporter of the venezuelan opposition identify the journalist from a photo shes a supporter of the venezuelan position was reporting from outside the Venezuelan Embassy where the woman claims she was badly beaten. They kicked me pushed me to the 2 of them then they tried to grab me and take me to the passage so i started to pull police for help but they would beat and beaten me. Early this year u. S. Backed opposition leaders in venezuela tried in vain to oust elected president Nicolas Maduro and their moshing to supporters of the opposition attempted to install themselves in the countrys embassy during the tussle for control with progovernment activists the alleged assault took place explain the films attorney told us more about the political prosecution plan. They decided to arrest him right after the gray zone had republic a story that showed that. And his team were receiving funding from usa id now are those 2 things related it certainly would seem like this is some form of retaliation if you sit in a court for arraignment youll see 3040 people come up and their cases if its a simple assault allegedly. Will be whats called a no paper the prosecution wont bring a case here we have a dynamic where one individual was arrested in may and now 6 months later. They are now bringing a case against Max Blumenthal on the same matter where i do believe that there are political motives i mean how else does one explain a case but you know is brought 6 months after the fact. You know what was going on in those 6 months prior why did they not bring the case then because theres not evidence this man didnt do this so here we have a journalist on this topic and others who has been critically reporting inconvenient facts about powerful people you know both in the u. S. Government and in the u. S. Interests and you know its been reported critically on those which is a journalist is supposed to do and now hes being retaliated against and now you know this is his punishment for speaking out that is what this looks like but weve contacted the Prosecutors Office in washington but its not up on to is with a comment yet its. Still to come another nation facing a huge protest movement to take a look at how things are unfolding in iraq after this very short break stay with us. What holds if you should continue to. Put themselves on a lot. To get accepted or rejected. So when you interviewed president interim. We still want to be rich. But youd like to be closer but she wasnt before were able to get. Into st pauls at the waters edge. There should be. You know we all take a language that we speak for granted its like the air that we breeze we dont notice that and the fact most of us believe that we simply perceive reality the way that it is in fact we know after many years of psychological experiments the best narry far from the truth we dont see things just the way that they are instead the world that we think internal world we live in is highly constructed by the structures of our brains but also by the structures of our languages and cultures that tell us how to put things together. Welcome back here to antigovernment protests continuing to buffet a raucous kohls growth for a radical overhaul of the countrys sectarian political system and the capital baghdad demonstrators have been blocking major roads and burning tires for some government offices and businesses to close major rallies have also been taking place in the. When shes predominantly shiite south we focus destruction transport networks in the bachelor iraqs government is accused of endemic corruption and of showing an inability to resolve the countrys economic problems and provide for its citizens basic needs adding to the anger it has also launched a violent crackdown on demonstrators doing over 250. 00 since the uprising began. To love all of the University Students in baghdad taking part in this protest its for our countrymen also most of the people here are deeply patriotic. These protests are sending a message if our demands are not mad we will hold even bigger demonstrations. Lead the people decide for themselves but the people form the government please. People are protesting and so the government should resign everyone is taking to the streets students young people the elderly when everyone is in the streets. Lets find out now across live to middle east expert a risk that maybe can help explain to our viewers why it is that 16 years after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein the situation is so dire for so many iraqis. Well you know the doesnt act is that you do who are d spread corruption in iraq this is something which. These iraqi citizens have complained of time and again you know ive visited iraq on numerous occasions and this has been a common complaint that you know the people are stealing money people are still in iraqs wealth you have to remember that theres a lot of a lot of resources in iraq iraq is a very rich country you know. The resources you have how the. Really just shrines which will also a huge source of income so iraq should be a prosperous nation and if you take all those doctors in mind you know its economic strengths the your revenue its as i said a religious tourist source place where many sheet of pilgrims going to visit so iraq does indeed suffer from this problem now some people might ask is there going to be foreign to that shit you know foreign intervention is always a possibility but i think that any foreign role would basically be taken advantage but. There is it has to be said there is a problem which is. You know imbedded or implanted and that is the corruption which has come about ever since of dont to say it was toppled from power we have this problem which the iraqi people have been suffering through that have had these huge demonstrations but how likely is it that the protesters demands will be heard and there will be an eye of the whole of the post 2003 sectarian system. Well you know its certainly interesting question this Security System in iraq isnt that old i mean its was put in place after the towplane of so dont say so were talking about you know 2000 people it wasnt school so it isnt a whole system like it isnt level by the way a level 6 there and system is much much older and in 7011. 00 or no protests escalating or something tonight but going back to iraq. I still think that it would be quite a difficult process to get rid of the Security System you know our tower is divided between a shia ours and some news and that system which was placed by the americans had by paul bremer. I think it will be difficult to be put in place and i think it also might be difficult for the protests this whole sorry its all the those in power dealing elite to meet the demands of the people some demands might be met some demands rates are too corruption related to Economic Reforms and those demands could possibly be met and when it comes to changing or carrying out a little hole in the system you know sectarian war is it making it one nation where there are some just sick very differences i think that is quite a difficult task and be something be sold or not. Really sticks but only risk thank you for your time. Was Donald Trumps former National Security adviser pushed into pleading guilty to lying to the f. B. I. In 27. 00 tane where u. S. Federal prosecutors have refuted those claims but Michael Flynns new legal team claim evidence against him had been manipulated flynn how did ms tippett right misrepresenting conversations it had with russias u. S. Ambassador at the time and was prosecuted as part of the investigation into suppose that russian meddling. Michael flynn lied to the f. B. I. Flynn is a proven liar practice liar Michael Flynn is a liar why did the f. B. I. Lawyer general flynn casualty number one of the russia gate saga is calling out the f. B. I. He claims they changed the wording of his responses to their questioning and did so to arrest him we also have information that the agents did manipulate the 3 o 2 you know it was long in a quote deliberative state as they called it which is highly unusual in a novice self we have taxes exhibit 11 to our document the comparison of the february 10th and february 11th. That show the addition of substantial additional claims that were not in there before and are not supported by the notes. The f. B. I. Uses 30 tuesday keep an official record of their interviews in flynns case the form was used by the f. B. I. To claim he lied but did he really its not so clear anymore flynns defense team just released a Court Documents suggesting something very different happened that the f. B. I. Actually significantly changed the meaning of what he actually said. The f. B. I. Wanted to know if len had ever discussed sanctions with the Russian Ambassador he said he wasnt sure he had spoken to many investors and didnt really keep a tally although the record showed he said this. Flynn stated he did not the narrative of flynn the liar was born but that wasnt the only problem with the interview some of which were there from the get go. The f. B. I. Wanted to send agents into the white house itself to interview senior official you would work through the white House Counsel and the discussions and approvals and it would be there and i thought its early enough to send a couple guys over so who did call me sundown over agent peter strock who was fired for sending messages to his f. B. I. Girlfriend funny enough its those messages that shed some light on how flynns 3 o 2 was apparently tampered with a major edits and summoned to joe i also emailed you the 3 o 2 a live this was proven to be a lie it was a set up and there is an investigation that is going on by attorney use the f. B. I. For political purposes in order to manipulate or to target certain people like Michael Flynn by using countries like russia and others as scapegoats as enemies of the people as as those not to be trusted all of this was set up in order to harm political opponents and these notes that were typed up later were altered in edited even so much so that the written word in it was altered later it would be as if somebody say you are either normal person was questioned by Police Officers about a robbery and you say i did not commit this robbery but instead the officer writes down they committed the robbery and then you have to go before a judge and argue that your statements werent lies within the notes of the officer thats what this case is talking about thats why this is so important.

Linked with a showing of the skeleton is lost when the church. Has no particular ship. Youre pushing 30. Boat of shipping. Up and most of the book is the work of the books in your book which still mostly notes i dont know what the move. Was the latest news in the us. Stuff no worries im all right so you have put this was going to so. Listeners through the summer in the store oh yeah. Its a. Pretty. Alone welcome to worlds apart the limits of my language mean the limits of my world the loss of our living. In 920 why then the following century of booming linguistic studies have only confirmed that if our language is indeed shapeless as much as we think we shape them do we ever really speak our mind well to discuss that im now joined by letter but i didnt ski associate professor of cognitive science at the university of california san diego professor bard its a pleasure and honor to talk to thank you very much for your time thanks so much for having me now i know that you have long been studying the relationship with the mind through language and the world around us and i think you come to some very humbling conclusions as much as real like to see ourselves as the masters of our thought and our boards it works in the opposite direction to our language shape our experience in some very profound ways how does that work well of course we all have many years of experience speaking a language and we absorb so many habits and so many important structures from the language each human language is exquisitely structured there are about 7000 languages and all of that experience of speaking the language hearing the language around you and trains your mind to focus on some things and not others theres always potentially an infant. It said of things you could notice about the world you could potentially try to remember about the world and language streamlet and to think about only some of those things to focus on only those things that the people before us who built the language over many generations those things they thought were most important those things got built into the language and so now those are the things that we tend to focus on and the structures that we tend to conform and the heat works also in very subtle ways we do not necessarily we kind of appropriate to ourselves to our own free will but without necessarily realizing that there are forces that imposing certain structures on ourselves you know we all take the language that we speak for granted its like the air that we breathe we dont notice it and in fact most of us believe that we simply perceive reality the way that it is in fact we know through many years of psychological experiments so thats very far from the truth we dont see things just the way that they are instead the world that we the internal world we live in is highly constructed by the structures of our brains but also by the structures of our languages and cultures that tell us how to put things together you often talk about this symbiotic and reinforcing relationship with bin language and culture and its very hard for me personally to resist thinking about that relationship in cheek in that terms enough to sort of struggling with it for some time i wonder if its actually a fitting metaphor or not in terms of what comes 1st but in terms of how the to encapsulate reproduce one another yeah so i think of language as a part of culture language is a really good way to make a part of culture very long term and universally distributed so if i make Something Like dramatically gender a part of the language well all speakers of that language are going to have to use that structure its not going to be optional if youre speaking russian you cant just speak russian and not use grammatical gender no ones going to recognize you as a real russian. Speaker and so it becomes something less than universally distributed through the culture and then of the languages can lose genders can add genders that process is going to have to take a very long time whereas other cultural practices can come and go much more fluidly and may only affect some portions of the motley but how far do you extrapolate from that relationship the fact that english and to some extent russian have both added to their
