Government computer and leaking classified documents back in 2010 now he has an awful lot of high profile supporters worried about. Showing everybody how totalitarian they really are by saying your crime is that you publish crimes american war crimes that you published america more crimes now that its not a crime its in the Public Interest this is what im saying america is not democracy a tall told will share what governments want to know is total control of information and that means they dont want dissidents they dont they want what looks like a free press so it can sort of tell nasty stories about footballers wives and that kind of thing but its not free at all when it comes to all the right things that matter is i think always done is provided. By. Safe place for information to go on i dont think hes committed a crime at all to people here is a question all the freedom of speech journalists have spoken out and said that. Hes doing what other journalists do they cant understand why hes in prison at the moment in belmarsh prison they seem as a hero hes already spent 70 years at the Ecuadorian Embassy for asylum wanted to avoid going to jail but now he has been arrested by the British Police breaching bail conditions his house his physical and Mental Health is apparently deteriorated quite badly experts from around the world theyve been condemning the u.

They dont believe. Me i come to street level. Well just days after accusing russia of trying to help trump and get reelected the u. S. Media is now saying of that the kremlin could be helping Bernie Sanders the democratic candidate says his team received a tip off from unnamed sources 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 his the message to russia stay out of american elections. Well one democratic rival billionaire Mike Bloomberg was quick to make light of those claims his team posted a video with the slogan feel the burn in russian and last week the u. S. House Intelligence Committee was reportedly told that russia was trying to help donald trump and that information also came from anonymoUs Intelligence sources donald trump flatly dismissed those allegations you see that i see these phoneys these that do nothing. They said today that wants to be sure that trump gets elected here we go these people are crazy. I mean mile moscow has ridiculed the latest reports of meddling the kremlin spokesman said that he expects to see many more such claims in the run up to the election taylor takes a look in her own unique way comments on the milling accusations. 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 serious. 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 the american democracy of can and theres just so much evidence to back it up this time in a closed meeting undisclosed intelligence officials told congress that most want to keep orange one in the white house for another few yes and 5 unnamed people who apparently are in the loop told us so its a shelf thing i turned on the t. V. And everyones quoting 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 reelected 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 would so panic would 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 trump thought the director of National Intelligence and replaced him with a man who supports him cant be a coincidence can it i mean thats basically admitting that hes a criminal stooge and the president of the United States is now helping the president of russia help the president of the united. 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 from moscows interests not americas and politicians are panicking to it so seriously even tweeted about it poor hillarys also chimed in still a bit saw over the whole 26 didnt tast i suppose putins puppet is at it again taken russian help for himself he knows he can win without it and we cant let it happen i mean it is so unfair the democrats are just being unlucky the mourner report was a boston pietschmann felt flat on its face but still how could anyone pick trump over that and just tick inspiring democrat candidates on offer take joe biden for example sure hes got a chance on approach but hes clearly a good parent and thats got to count for something right then theres 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 clean billionaire and Bernie Sanders are good role model was giving his honest opinion when he allegedly said a woman couldnt 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. An emergency e. U. Budget summit has been seen of the blogs leaders have failed to agree on how to make up the 75000000000 euro shortfall left by briggs. What has come out of the differences are still too large to come to an agreement unfortunately we have to suspend this summit. These divisions of we dont need britain for that they were playing around your. In the financial crisis a decade ago during the migration were now seeing them on budget issues despite calls for a compromise of fridays negotiations Member States were not able to overcome 2 key areas of disagreement the 1st Sticking Point is that of the socalled bloc socalled frugal for do not want the e. U. Budget to be higher than one percent of its Gross National income those countries are denmark austria sweden and the netherlands they also want to keep receiving rebates on the contributions they pay to the e. U. In addition there is no consensus as to how the 7 year budget should be allocated political commentator i kahana gave us his thoughts on the dispute. On the one hand it shows clearly now the division that has been only britain germany and only have one or 2 other countries that were net into the e. U. System were on the on the brakes when it came to inflating the budget and so on and this and the rest was taking and the rest was the majority but germany used to have together with britain. At the top hour and this has been lost so now there is no no limit anymore to plunder germany and i think this is this has been secretly all over the time already but now with britain it really it goes away into the open and its for everybody else. Rights groups are urging a British University to suspend a Police Training program it runs in bahrain staff from Huddersfield University regularly travel to the country to teach a masters course in security science to Police Recruits that is despite long running allegations of torture in the gulf kingdom the director of the Bahrain Institute for rights and democracy says it has testimonies from 10 prisoners who say they were tortured. We opened those testimonies which came to us that are to from this into the prism behind your prison and somebody called us to give us the details of how those individuals or thought of this is im talking about the fears 10 testimony from the victims that are detailing how they were abused to me 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 were naked that during the interrogation they were blindfolded some of them and raped and sexually assaulted had the radical to me they make threats against their families and just last weekend i happened to know that my own family including my brother in law was subjected to torture at the Royal Academy this is what i got from his last chord. In 2017 the un committee against torture filed a report on bahrain it highlighted rampant prisoner abuse and the authorities failure to investigate claims meanwhile Huddersfield University has refused to disclose how much it is being paid by bahrain calling it commercially Sensitive Information how this Field University says it is considering of the complaint and will respond in the coming days mr all day again went on to tell us his group has 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 kid did the ana said of improving the situation they just simply have them to cover up abuses the place where they teach the course is the place where the president of get tortured so its extremely serious allegations we have extremely strong evidence and can be even but if i had within Asylum Seekers in britain. U. S. Defense secretary marc esper has taken part in an exercise to determine how washington would responded to a Russian Nuclear attack in europe this according to officials the scenario included a european contingency where you were conducting a war with russia we simulated responding with a Nuclear Weapon war games come as the United States looks to upgrade its Nuclear Capabilities earlier this month the department of defense requested a military budget of more than 740000000000 dollars for 2021 and it wants an additional 4000000000. 00 for Nuclear Weapons in 1000 percent increase on the current level russia has responded by warning that the u. S. Is undermining global stability. We condemn such actions because firstly they clearly demonstrate washingtons readiness to follow the path of confrontation and further lower the trash for using Nuclear Weapons instead of focusing on efforts to strengthen the arms control system including the Nuclear System the United States is playing an extremely dangerous game peter because nick is a historian at the and the director of the Nuclear Studies institute at American University in washington d. C. He told us that while the exercises themselves are fairly routine he finds the current tensions between the u. S. And russia concerning. These kinds of war games are actually pretty common if they conduct them on a regular basis. But whats different now is the climate the relation between the United States and russia are very very shaky right now over the years theyve simulated this kind of nuclear war limited nuclear war many times what usually happens is that it escalates out of control there is almost no scenario in which a limited nuclear war and this after each side sheets off one Nuclear Weapon the much more likely scenario is that it continues to escalate and then were all finished. Police in italy have raided the room of a top russian athlete that sort of much more after a short break this is r. T. International. I cant show you my face but im going to teach you must store in 9093 this man was sentenced to death.

You know my it seems to treat. It. That. Much this is Art International now Italian Police have raided a Hotel Housing a team of russian athletes competing at the biafra line that World Championships the search targeted Alexander Logan off a champion violate who was previously hit with a doping ban his car was also reportedly searched the Russian Embassy in rome said that the policeman or results of the search found no evidence of banned Substance UseInternational Biathlon union has denied the raid was made at its request parties it was done of has.
