Good evening welcome to the program just 17 pm here in moscow now live from the r. T. International worldview center is criminal in this hours round up hope you can stick around of the next half hour so the 1st hour breaking news of more detail the Turkish Parliament has voted to back the un recognized government in libya giving a green light to a Troop Deployment president eduard and donald trump have already discussed the development apparently in a phone call lawmakers approved the motion during emergencies session on thursday but the history here libya has been in a state of war since protests in 2011 and the ousting of the countrys leader Moammar Gadhafi in recent months though the u. S. Backed government has been losing ground to the rival administration of general Khalifa Haftar who leads the Libyan National army becomes a National Accord formally requested military aid from ankara last month a mystery once you consider it thats now happened but general have to as forces currently control most of libyas territory including crucial oil and gas resources. So mark colvin from the Crisis Research institute a spoke to him about this move last hour he told me the possible reasons behind the turkish vote and how it might affect the situation in libya now thats all ready heated. Some people say that its just going to be kind of Technical Assistance advisers to the forces of the Libyan Government to tripoli i will say that quite serious are the Turkish Forces troops themselves or perhaps some of the fighters whove been involved in syria and have lost control of turgeon ordnance or of the turks maybe going to ship to tripoli to do the infantry work on the ground either way its going to raise the stakes of the conflict in this area were when gas or big issue but also tensions between turkey and its nato allies like crowns and greece are really sawing over this potential direct intervention i think what the turks perhaps hope is that the threat put some serious Turkish Military power is going to be deployed will make how torah his supporters agree to some kind of peace settlement there is a proposal by the u. N. To have a peace conference in berlin but these have come and go in libya over the last few years and they havent really settled issue and thats partly because there are really deep seated tensions. You know these today city u. N. Officials launched a scathing attack on the United States over its ongoing detention of whistleblower Chelsea Manning saying had treatment amounts to torture special represent news meltzer made the claim in a letter to the u. S. Government which was written back in november buttons only just come to light. The practice of coercive depreciation of liberty for civil contempt involves the intentional infliction of progressively severe mental and emotional suffering for the purposes of coercion and intimidation at the order of judicial authorities such deprivation of liberty does not constitute a circumscribed sanction for a specific offense but an open ended progressively severe measure of coercion for filling all the constitutive elements of torture or other cruel inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment Chelsea Manning was a u. S. Military Intelligence Analyst but was arrested in 2010 for supplying classified information to wiki leaks for that she was convicted in 2013 and sentenced to 35 years in prison and another twist president obama commuted his sentence just before he left office but she was arrested again last year for declining to testify against wiki leaks publisher julian a songe Global Affairs analyst Patrick Henningsen told us this un lets and there will be a boost of things for supporters of both manning and the sanj or lower an activist kevin zeese explain to us a bit more detail to how he thinks this law is being used to coerce manning. In a grand jury which is a secret process before someone is indicted or you before it prosecutions occurring to determine whether someone should be prosecuted this is a power of the court to coerce someone into testifying now this law can allow a person in the United States to be held for the length of the grand jury in order to coerce them to testify before the grand jury and no longer serves the purpose it was intended to serve its now become a weapon of prosecutors it was initially designed to protect people who are being investigated the reason theyre kept secret because theyre trying to protect people being investigated before theyre indicted so you dont know that theyre being investigated but no motor serves our purpose and now serves the purpose of being a tool for prosecutors thats abused and i think Chelsea Manning is a victim of that abuse the report by nils meltzer does give an Additional Air of legitimacy to the case of manning to really back up all of the think that manning supporters that its functionaries have been saying mel for over 6 more absent that this is unjust this is unfair the trying to create something new this is the whole point of coerced trying to coerce manning to come up with something that the o. J. Can use to make a real case against the sunday shows you how flimsy this is this is the degree degradation of the Justice System in the United States and also in the u. K. As well in the case of the songes more like more resembles a Banana Republic style facade of a state judicial apparatus this is all part of a campaign to reframe you can to reframe julius on and we as a from a journalist and a publication to being a cyber criminal and a hostile Foreign Intelligence Agency the entire case all the indictments against dishonor are based on that we frame in principle. And they are trying to get Chelsea Manning to give them something a key to actually make that marriage work and shes not shes not volunteering anything and this is frustrating the u. S. System tremendously. Meantime heading into another decade joining the songes affair much better hes also behind bars in a british prison after being dragged out of the door an embassy where hed spent the previous 70 is the latest on him then saskia taylor. Few buildings in the wilds have ever come under as much scrutiny as this one here at quick tour and. In those 4 walls for 7 long years possibly the most famous whistle blower who time to get a sandwich was hauled up until a court 2019 to 48 year old was sensationally tracked out by british authorities. That work for the wiki leaks founder this was a huge betrayal by the latin American Country that had sheltered him since 2012 aquittal said the relations had soured with the sand and his bad behavior triggered them opening the door to the police and revoking his asylum but its worth noting that just a bit acquittals bank account got an almighty boost with a 4200000000. 00 loan from the i. M. F. Where the u. S. Has huge Voting Rights a staunch is currently sitting in belmarsh prison in the countrys capital sucking up to meet sentence but jumping bail in 2012 but many are saying that what hes actually been handed is a death sentence because over 60 doctors wrote an open letter to the u. K. Government saying that he might die in prison britain for its part denies any wrongdoing the allegations mr son she was subjected to torture and founded and hold false the u. K. Is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that no one is ever above it but londons defense rings hollow in light of the reports by Many Organizations including the new web which claims that as a Scientist Health continues to deteriorate authorities are simply standing idly by the blatant and sustained arbitrariness shown by both the judiciary and the government in this case suggest an alarming departure from the u. K. s commitment to. Rights and the rule of law unless the u. K. Urgently changes course i believe yes the inhuman situation mr songes continued exposure to arbitrariness and abuse may soon end up costing him his life but his songes battle for his well being is not only fight on his hands ever since wiki leaks exposed gross misconduct by the Us Government washington has been pushing for his extradition on espionage charges giving him a helping hand the British Government despite International Outcry the u. K. Home secretary signed a us extradition request putting us on one step closer towards being charged for publishing classified information and conspiring to hack a top from a computer the 18 charges that washington has put forward could carry a maximum sentence of 175 years behind bars the reaction all over the wild people are crying foul they say that this is not a case about punishing a crime but of silencing a voice surely in a singled out for special treatment for one reason only heres the truth hes such an innocent important man is because he is a Freedom Fighter however much you dislike. His case is the most important for me give you freedom this is just. Miss rule of law and operation. Washingtons bid to get us on stateside was also helped by not the european country sweden the scandinavian nation was investigating a Rape Allegation against the whistleblower and would have been within its rights to request his extradition to face trial since that case predated the us request london would have been obliged to send a songe to stockholm fast but sweden has now closed that investigation conveniently removing the. Final obstacle for the americans funny how it all wiped out a sanchez extradition hearing is set for factory 2020 but in light of these recent talents of the bands fears are growing that does little chance of play this close to sure i mean what and of course what news most of the United Nations special report on torture is certain how corrupt and how in stress that the entire system in the u. K. Including the judiciary and the media has forgotten when it comes to julian. You know before you call course earlier this year and this sort of was a confirmation that what neil smelters said seems to be true that you. Just love to have a potential for severe trial into while one always hopes that may lead to justice and will prevail u. S. Authorities have rather spared a kind wired for a start so it might well turn out that when a country is dirty secrets are risk of being exposed justice is a word thats up for interpretation sastre taylor r. T. Hong kong saw in the new year with more violent protests with rally organizers putting the turnout they thought around a 1000000 there were around 400 arrests with police blaming radical protesters for causing the trouble. I think i. Think i think the. Because you can see again things really heated the real face awful Hong Kong Police say. Recklessly vandalized public facilities as they put it in several areas the authorities then moved in to try and rally early to quell things but thats when it kicked off the clashes erupted over washington lets bear this in mind i supported the protest from the outset but Hong Kong Based political scientist joseph chang thinks its more to do with building why the political leverage against a change here. Did United States puppets we will support hong kong but dont know its from administration most likely to hold on to shield and gave me as human rights issues in china as bargaining chips to exert pressure on china people would like to see a novel nice asian process a reconciliation process but the parents. And the Hong Kong Government have maintained their stand and they have feels to me any concession is the protestants and to do for their moccasin. This is all to the break we look at the health push in france has been described as an attack no d less a look countrys culture. What politicians do. They put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and she. Want. To go right to the pros this is what im up for 3 of them cant be good. Im interested in the waters of. The city. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing dramatic to follow through the only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Possibly leaving high russias state run sputnik News Agencies announced that it shutting down its bureau in the capital tallinn off to dozens of its employees resigned saying they fear criminal prosecution developing stories tell us more we did a concert of. This but i think agency published a statement on the 1st of january saying 35 of its staff and a star on the air had terminated their labor contracts and resigned fearing possible criminal prosecution now the Sputnik Agency in astronomy is controlled by the russian state Media Organization that i. C. C. Avoid unfortunately experience dictates that despite the apparent absurdity of the governments threats criminal prosecution of journalists is a reality in todays europe last month a telling a story just told. That stuff members could be prosecuted due to the european sanctions against russia and if that would have happened they would be facing up to 5 years behind bars and moscow sees this demand as an obvious attempts to silence the russian president commented on the situation he offered support to the journalists who work for the agency. You do a lot. Of its you can go unnoticed im very surprised because russia is always accused of including pressure on independent media and they do this they accuse us of this is cynical measures such as restrictions cant work because you will hold those who do schooled between countries we cant allow its you must try to work in those countries the risk of your information the is done in government continues to insist that it is not doing anything wrong with the countrys foreign minister said that targeting sputnik was about enforcing e. U. Sanctions and in our town is stalling and officials also froze the assets and asked. To vacate the offices that they were ranting by the end of february now or a sport meekest on the us said that they plan to appeal to a number of International Organizations we consider the actions. To be boys. To be used to such International Organizations as the un the council of europe unesco and e. C. H. Are demanding the proper amount of this unprecedented case of violation of freedom of speech in recent years and measures to ensure the right about journalists to carry out their professional activities and concerns about this situation have been forced by a number of european officials in particular at the o s c e representative on freedom of the media called honest anya to refrain from against journalist meanwhile sputnik us danny has a website will not be completely shut down it was reported that the website will continue its work as it will be reorganized in a way that avoids permanent pressure from the Estonian Authority this. But in a culture of over that report the time of year we like to take a breath look back now with 21. 00 thing done and dusted lets take a look back at some more of the events to find the year with a big memory machine. So lets give it a spin should 29 tell you so many stories to tell you about socially politically and beyond 21000 calls a fair bit of upheaval to our lives worldwide but for some this march of modernity as we head into the 20 twentieths is particularly difficult if we hit this button well tell you the next story is left a lot of people fearing for the much loved heritage of the case in point is a story in france we take a look at her tradition there thats really under threat it comes on the dry january in our little file here in france theres anger over a proposal to adopt draw a german yury it is what it sounds it is abstaining from alcohol good for your health or for the excesses of the holidays french why there was of course as much a part of the dinner as the food on the plate so this health preserving plans proving very. Hard to swallow for some shallow dubin skiers some other ideas in home maybe we can all freshen up from the new yang over without putting too much of a cork in our culture. When you raise a gloss of wine or beer in florence its customary to say soul say which means health but if you waking up with this sore head off to celebrations on new years eve you may be wondering if all those salt days have done you any good after all and instead of trying a hair of the dog here you might think that its time to join the millions of others across the world in having a little bit of a breather from alcohol thats right its time for de roy january a month of alcoholic abstinence its been so popular in the anger from world that there were even plans to introduce it in france but do the french you are famous for their love of a little plonk even you know whats right january is trying. No its not. Possible it doesnt exist in france dry january i have not heard of it i have heard of many other traditions like move imber is that it move into Something Like that but with wine i dont think its possible no no no not at all no with free no no i dont understand it this really exists so a person much or resoundingly no perhaps all the more reason to kick start the idea given that alcohol kills tens of thousands of people in frogs every year thats exactly what Francis Health agencies solti public schools. Do but after explaining to prisons what dry january is what they think about it and what. A month without drinking out whole its difficult for the french. I could try it but id rather not it would not be too pleasant without wine. The french are going to die. What would be the reaction i mean why. Its like not eating because theyre not used to it he drinks more than me i dont know how to respond it seems for once president mccall really has his finger on the pulse of what the french are thinking for hes said to have fiercely opposed to promoting a moratorium on alcohol in january or perhaps it any time of the year and given the choice will parisians be raising a normal colics all day for dry january well if they slaughter anything to go by probably not really i would prefer some tea maybe mixed with a bit of alcohol just a bit im like those women who drink discreetly in the kitchen. Wash my ip for a while and frankly all this was in a small meal and even when you had ted i prefer why you know. What wine is it if its a very good wine then wine. Well that settles it to dry it january is definitely not a french thing and all not no from us here in paris bone is salty. And the very same as you charlotte thank you very much or best well known looks a change of focus to the silver in the small screen highlights of the year just gone show way it was in the war protests demos and trade wars although it was off reported we managed to escape into some decade defining t. V. Series and movies as well lets print snow directors cut see what comes up what its saying goodbye to some long running blockbuster favorites along the way while others things that we saw left audience is deeply divided daniel pops open his popcorn and takes a look. Its been a long hearing global news entry scandal uncertainty and cliffhangers weve seen it all at least we could all wind down with a good movie everyones favorite pastime bringing people together in the cinema or on the sofa well ok 29000 hasnt quite been like that. Spring arrived bringing a monumental conclusion and epic game of thrones saga it won millions of fans around the world i mean do you even know anyone who hasnt seen at least one episode it even became a feature in International Twitter diplomacy. It took 8 years to get literally everyone to jump on the west the rose by and wagon but just one series to get people fuming about the finale game of thrones season 8 has to be the most disappointing Season Finale of the decade Merry Christmas to everyone except the people who like the game of thrones series finale. Thinking about how cursed we are to live in the timeline where both the game of thrones finale and star wars finale sucked people even launched a petition to reshoot the final season nearly 2000000 signatures and still rising and if you thought breaks it was divisive dont get me started on that file episode did you see. How do you think. That i was just really. After such division of viewers would desperate for some unity and in came should noble people flock to see the latest hit stand aside game of thrones the draw more about the worlds Worst Nuclear Accident shot right up the t. V. Rankings. Is on fire. And every atom of uranium is like a bullet. For the mini series struck such a chord with viewers in both east and west it also struck some bones of contention why were there no ethnic minority actors how accurate was the science why so many cliched stereotypes you know so noble couldnt please everyone either and with every new episode came a new take on just how accurate the drama was or wasnt their characters are distorted and misrepresented as if they were villains they were nothing like that the plan work is a shown as though they are scared of everything this does not reflect reality in reality they were quite decisive very decisive not one of the operators fled after the explosion is a composed calm intelligent man who never denied his responsibility also became the knight screw darker and so that our screens walk in phoenix is joker delved into the murky depths of society and the human mind. When you bring me down. Introduce me as joker. I and as the height grew so did the panic yeah people actually got worried that film could provoke members of the socalled incell Community Self pitying missiles or mystic lonely online trolls into violence alarm bells even rang in the us military soldiers aboard about the risk of attacks during screenings it was all right on the night there was no Mass Violence critics loved phoenix but would divided over the film itself and whatever you thought of it some people suddenly took inspiration from the character mixing fantasy with the reality and certainly sparking debate. Nag nag nag nag and back. Listen of joy because the radical change is needed this is not enough and this is what all those democratic leftists im not aware of this dissatisfaction the grows today is a serious one this is the channel deal with it with gradual reforms more tolerance to health care now its a lot of themes of dystopia you know people dont really know where society is headed some people are loving the direction some are very scared and thats why movies like joker really speak to people another thing were seeing is is that people are so sick of politics that they also just kind of what design now and they want something thats just just Pure Entertainment the number one movie this year was a bender is the end game and i think that also speaks to it as well is that theres not really a political message in that its just kind of eye candy and something to zone out to its mindless entertainment and thats important i think to. People who are just sick of hearing about politics all the time because it affects everything right. Now well thats enough control to see for tonight christmas is off to rule the season of goodwill to all it seems as though people just love to have a good old squabble over things even the magical world of cinema just cant please everyone unless of course you happen to be baby go to.
