Breaking the law to try and get him. Either this is r. T. International welcome to weekend world news with me colleen bray 1st for you this saturday then the u. S. Media is already pointing fingers east this time going after the democrats front runner for the 2020 president ial election thats ahead of crucial primaries in the state of nevada sanders is leading the polls the Washington Post claims through unnamed sources that hes receiving russian help for his campaign and that hes been informed about it. It was not clear what role theyre going to play we were told that russia maybe other countries are going to get involved in this campaign and look heres the message to russia stay out of american elections the do nothing democrats using disinformation hawks number 7 dont want Bernie Sanders to get the democratic nomination and they figured this would be very bad for his chances its all rigged again against crazy Bernie Sanders of one democratic rival billionaire Mike Bloomberg has jumped on the report to target sanders online posting 826000 president ial Campaign Slogan feel the burn in russian. Meanwhile the New York Times claims the us president is also a benefactor of alleged russian help dismissing the report and said it expects similar claims to multiply in the run up to the election. These are just the usual paranoid claims which unfortunately we will be hearing more of as the us elections approach of course they have nothing to do with the truth of Saskia Taylor now looks closer at the election meddling claims. Dear diary i know i can be a bit of a warrior you know better than anyone but this time i really think we might have a fear e s. Situation on our hands it is the conclusion of multiple Us Intelligence agencies that the Russian Federation is once again trying to interfere in our 2020 alexion our president ial election again to try to elect donald trump the russians off to american democracy again and theres just so much evidence to back it up this time in a closed meeting undisclosed intelligence officials told congress that moscow wants to keep orange one in the white house for another flu year is and 5 unnamed people who apparently are in the loop told us so its a soul thing i turned on the t. V. And everyones calling it a bombshell revelation just makes me panic more than americas democracy once again under attack by a foreign adversary new revelations about russian efforts to interfere in the 2020 election with the hope of getting the president president through a real look and also to make americans doubt the integrity of the election process this is not a 4 year ago flashback folks this is 2020 and the media wouldnt so panic to jump on the bandwagon just to boost their ratings that would be unconscionable wouldnt it i know youll say im im spiraling but can you see how burn up proof this latest report is i mean i agree i did read the article which published the info for us and there isnt a single concrete fact a piece of evidence provided but they promise it will all come to light soon both republicans and democrats the intelligence agencies to hand over the underlying material that prompted the conclusion the rush is again favoring mr trump selection how soon the House Committee might get that information is not clear and if that wasnt convincing enough triumph id the director of National Intelligence and replaced him with a man who supports him i cant be a coincidence can it i mean thats basically admitting that hes a kremlin stooge the president of the United States is now helping the president of russia help the president of the united. States to get reelected now i dont want to exaggerate or anything but this is a National Emergency we are now in a full blown National Security crisis by trying to prevent the flow of intelligence to Congress Trump is abetting a russian covert operation to keep him in office for moscows interests not americas. And politicians are panicking to it so seriously even tweeted about it point hillarys also chimed in still a bit saw over the whole 2016th test i suppose putin spotted is at it again taken russian hope for himself who knows he can win without it and we cant let it happen i mean if you saw one fat the democrats are just being unlucky the moon report was a boston pietschmann fell flat on its face but still how could anyone pick trump over that and the jets to conspiring Democratic Candidates on offer to take joe biden for example sure hes got a on approach but hes clearly a good parent and thats got to count for something right then does Michael Bloomberg sure he made a few crude comments apparently about women back in the eightys but these were different times now hes just a good old 2 clean billionaire and bernie some. Good old bunny moe was giving his honest opinion when he allegedly said a woman could become a president no no the more i think about it the clearer it is a trump 2020 victory could only have the kremlins fingerprints all over it. Diary what a disaster there is no truth to this theres not one shred of evidence and this is pretty pathetic that they have to try to restart this fake witch hunt yet again what is happening to President Trump right now is that hes at an all time popularity the democrats see that now theyre stuck with a socialist obviously and in burnie and the democrats are desperate so theyre trying to dredge up the old story the initial vague rich. And the russia story that didnt work the 1st time its not going to work this time and for them to go back and pursue it only tells me that they are scraping the bottom of a very empty barrel and they have nothing else to run on. A little dip. Is facing a backlash to the for overplaying the importance of the late said of the us election we got more on that for you when r. T. In a little over 10 minutes from now. Leading politicians in germany have lashed out at the anti immigration alternative for Germany Party in the wake of wednesdays racially motivated Mass Shootings in 2 bars in and out in which 9 were killed the lawmakers argued that the a. F. P. Has helped create an atmosphere of hatred. But in the 1st glance it looks like it was a lone wolf attack one man carried it out but there were those who had provided him with ammunition and the a of these definitely among them used in germany struggles to come to terms with the events of this weeks tragic slayings in hand now weve seen politicians from the Christian Democratic Union the social democrats they are part of the Ruling Coalition as well as the left party on the greens as well coming out and using alternative for media if they are funding the flames a far right extremism in the country of course theres a direct connection between the growing strength of the a. F. D. And the increase in right wing violence citizens of foreign descent are being denied their Human Dignity its so dangerous because it brings someone to a point where they commit a crime here we have a fatal disinhibition at work and the a. F. D. Bear responsibility for that too 9 people were killed this week 2 shooting incidents at 2 separate she should bars in the city of homs now all of those that were killed were from an immigrant background most of them were young people as well we heard from one eyewitness who describe for us the scenes of that night. The man came in and started shooting at a kiosk then he came to us he shot the 1st person in the head then shot of the 2nd person well drop down to the ground i pretended to be dead we all pretended to be dead we all fell down and he the shooter had emptied his magazine and by then and just run away. From my eyes i was ok i was still. Alive i just didnt want to believe it was real i asked units of everything was ok he groaned he got me he got me there was a hole in his neck i shouted the other guy to ask if he was ok he hadnt seen a bullet in the shoulder yet he didnt see the blood as he was wearing a coat he said yeah im ok i stood up and saw idris lying in his brother nasser he was down there in the others were lying there too so i went out and peeped into the kiosk the people in there ruled out i didnt know what to do i just couldnt believe it was happening or police have confirmed that the main suspect had killed himself his body was found along the side of the 7 but that the 42 year old owned 2 weapons legally the handgun that he used to carry out the time had been modified to allow it to release bullets quicker is that alongside calls for tighter security and more surveillance of far right to vittie in germany there are also calls for tougher gun laws in the country peter oliver in berlin there well and i have to Spokes Person we talked to claims that the german establishment is desperately trying to link the atrocities to his party. Killer was a paranoid he was sued is because of. The police said it very soon on twitter. This guy had no connection to any any Political Group to any. Extremist to any right wing groups and what does the world as terrible as the situation that the the all Political Parties are trying to stick it somehow to the a. F. P. This is the only way how can they manage to fight against us because they have no real political arguments and pull in the political discussion so therefore they are always just trying to push us into a right to in corner sort of that people are afraid even to talk to ours to listen to our political arguments we are we are living in a. Very heavy political oppression in my mind but we are not free. To express what we want our people are permanently under a tag of left extremist and. You know what what happened now is that we are putting in the corner where we dont belong. Leaks founder Julian Assange to set to begin his u. S. Extradition hearing at a london court on monday meantime his supporters have planned protests over the weekend with veteran british rocker roger waters heading the rally assad is facing charges of hacking a u. S. Government computer and leaking classified documents back in 2010 he spent 7 years in selfimposed exile in londons Ecuadorian Embassy before being removed by police we spoke to the former pink floyd from a man about the importance of saturdays protest. Committed no crime apart from a minor by oh it fridge man he did it its absolutely clear now that he didnt rape anyone in stock that was a pull up thing to try and get it he was so right when he said he was frightened of going to sweet because they would extradite eyes to see exactly what they would have done is this is being blown out completely by whats happened now here in the United Kingdom where the u. K. Government have decided to feed him to the wolves. Theyve almost killed him in belmarsh hes really sick if you read Craig Murrays description of him in the in the last hearing before that awful matches straight. Its really really moving craigs a friend of his and hes in a chilling could you could hardly remember a zone name. He maybe that got drugged a law which they probably have to probably go on a concert you know trial lawyers to see as well but. Now hes been in prison for 7 years now in the Ecuadorian Embassy and now in the spice security place at boma its disgusting he hasnt committed a crime. Julian assange should america getting a fair trial 00 charges theyre breaking the law to try and get him there that would there is an extradition treaty between the u. K. And the United States which has a number of articles of the forethought sokolowski is that no extradition proceedings should even taught if there is a political motivation to it this is a political course it is isnt 100 percent political so a legal proceeding its all its a job and its disgusting and and and for english prudence to fail an ordinary journalist doing his job properly like this. Makes me ashamed to being. The case is crucial only if you believe in the rule of law and freedom of speech and if you believe that the press and journalists have a responsibility to inform the public if they kill the song its going to be at the back of everybody elses oh my god they killed him theyre going to kill me too if i step out of line where were searching thorazine so that nobody will report on anything. So power. Human Rights Groups are demanding that a British University suspends a Masters Program that is running with bahrains Royal Academy of policing others feel university flies academics out to bahrain despite rights campaigners condemning the kingdom as a torture for prisoner abuse a director for the Bahrain Institute for rights and democracy says it has detailed allegations from 10 prisoners who they allege of being tortured tortured. We opened those testimonies which came to us directly from the Central Prison behind your prison and somebody called us to give us the details of how those individuals or tortured this is im talking about the 1st hand testimony from the victims detailing how they were abused. There is a consistent account on many of them where subjected to physical and psychological torture some of them were subjected to electric shocks some of a lot of them where naked the during their interrogation they were blindfolded some of them raped and sexually assaulted at the rate they make threats against their families and just last weekend i happened to know that my own family including my brother in law were subjected to torture at the Royal Academy this is what i got from his last chord. 2017 a u. N. Report called for torture in the ill treatment of prisoners to be more thoroughly investigated because previous complaints made by Rights Groups were not reviewed independently at the university refuses to confirm just how much is being paid by bahrain saying that that information is commercially sensitive but it does say it will give consideration to the request and respond in the coming days weve also asked the bahraini government and the university to comment the institute says that its repeatedly called for the course to be dropped the British Government got to stop their own go and get training with Security Forces because if it did anything did the enlisted of improving the situation they just simply had them to cover up. The place where they teach the course is the place where the prisoners get tortured so its extremely serious allegations we have extremely strong evidence and can be even better fired within Asylum Seekers in britain. Without safe from moscow still ahead the New York Times latest contributor to the taliban will get on to that among our stories after this. The world is driven by dream shaped by phone person. Of the day or thinks. We hear him to ask. This whole business about blaming russians by americans is getting really pathetic because heres a guy who is effectively trying to dehumanizing whole group of people slavic people in this case this is remarkably ironic coming from white flight. Again next week that saturday the Washington Post has altered a headline which originally suggested elites should play a key role in picking the countrys president it comes after the outlet found itself in the spotlight online. Democracy dies in darkness unless darkness is what the elites need to regain election in which case maybe democracy isnt all that. Anyway though close to run the headline that says silence presents the wealthy are speaking of the current us election system primaries take place at the beginning of an Election Year to select candidates and in some states every citizen can vote but in others its only registered voters however its not just the votes that secure the nomination its also down to the number of delegates they get depending on the size of the state legal or media analysts lionel believes the article is simply a bold move for attention. First of all it was one of the most poorly constructed arguments ever i read it and i thought to myself i dont understand what this is suggesting so i gave it to a couple of by learned colleagues they dont know what it is either we dont know what exactly this is suggesting who are these elite this is a College Professor a ph d. Ph d. Stand for something this far as the Washington Post goes it is a rag it is a hospital mop it is it is it is nothing it it though the glory days of yore from watergate its over with not only that the print media in this country newspapers are closing the New York Times is a joke so what you see right now is one last gasp effort to put something in it will get people to talk about it. But article in another leading us newspaper written by a taliban deputy leader is not going down well in afghanistan with officials there strongly criticizing the New York Times for publishing it it is that the New York Times has given the platform to an individual who is on a designated terrorist list he and his network are behind ruthless attacks against some foreigners the how can he and the taliban are responsible for the deaths of dozens of american soldiers and atrocities against afghan civilians the New York Times should be ashamed of itself for enabling this blatant propaganda from a designated global terrorists all in the name of diverse reviews sarojini carneys and tourist war crime suspects being investigated by the International Criminal court why does the New York Times give him or put space the author is among the worlds most wanted man in the f. B. I. Office 5000000 dollars for any information that could lead to his arrest so rigid in a county has a designated terrorist in the United States is described by the agencys website as armed and dangerous. After the backlash the New York Times defended its decision to publish the article it claims its essential to represent all viewpoints on the conflict especially to highlight the progress being made in peace talks weve discussed whether having a voice on such a public platform should be open to absolutely everyone i think the Editorial Team at the New York Times or to think very carefully about the decision i think they should think about whether they would publish an article for example by a far right terrorists and question whether or not they would apply their principles universally but nonetheless i think its a defensible position its all about free speech being open to debate and discussion. Of negotiations and discussions with groups in Northern Ireland things can change but youve got to be open and youve got to be able to listen to the discourse everything of course were in favor of absolute freedom of speech but i think the decision to publish this is an op ed perhaps cannot be understated you know the New York Times is arguably one of the most woke newspapers in the world and i think there is something extraordinary about the decision to publish this almost without question a piece which is largely without much journalistic mary i would say you know the piece itself is basically propaganda for the taliban sometimes the dialogue has to be opened in some direction and this may just be that. Which may be out the norm but it may just be a route that theyre looking at we have no idea whether this represents an accurate portrayal and in fact it could do more damage to the negotiations long term and you know why is it that they are so willing to publish the leader of in these islamic terror organizations so openly as though they were right for their own stuff this is really a no platform situation with them if you keep no platform in them then people get the wrong view of them soon as you open it up debate to find out how the shoulder in the eyes of the public so yes lets freedom of speech let it all be out there. Lets debate it. And then move forward you know if you dont like the debate then go somewhere else and listen to some of the news. Us a slap yet more sanctions on iran this time over fridays parliamentary elections washington earlier blacklisted 5 members of the council the vets candidates but one of them has now hit back saying the restrictions have nothing to do with supporting democracy even without boycotts and sanctions on members of the Guardian Council the us regime has so in that it has nothing to do with democracy its a bisan is to stop this dictate to sit and milk the region like a cow we are now more determined to learn to old boots to the people some 7000 candidates were vying for the 290 seats in parliament the result will be announced later on saturday its the 1st nationwide ballot since u. S. Sanctions against iran were reinstated in 28. 00 in washington stepped up its pressure on terror and after withdrawing from the 2015 iran nuclear deal. The election comes as to her own struggles with economic recession and spiraling tensions with washington over the killing of irans top military general a middle east analyst we spoke to says the sanctions are a way of openly interfering in foreign elections i think that its fine for the west to be pointing the finger at iran because that when theyre actually quite 104 fingers at themselves showing because the world now has come to laugh at america at the elections that theyve been holding the farce and the lies and the complete gadget but i think theres also a dark message in the us and i think that is to actually take iranians inside iran and polarized. The United States wants to give the impression that is on the side of the people who have who are pro west and their dark reformist theres nothing more outrageously open than obvious about the interference with these sanctions because the sanctions insults as well as the monetary things girl doesnt make any difference its just the message theyre sending and theyre saying how do you not pick the candidates that we would approve of more thats basically what it is.

Freedom of speech is one of the pillars of democracy and also one that in the west is perceived as being in greatest peril with the left claiming that its become a vehicle coopted by the right to spread hate and the right to riding the lift as sinister snowflake sense its just what the balance of free speech. Is or this is the kaiser report remember bill black. The best way to rob a bank is to buy a bank or therefore Something Like that this is all going to make a lot of sense stacey well for those who dont know william k.
