A person be in court with being able to interact communicate with his lawyers who are representing his interests. And residents. Across the board. Studios and. Certainly glad to have you with us. Now for employees of a news agency in turkey have been released after questioning the editor in chief along with 3 others were detained. On saturday allows nationalists where this follows excuse me nationalists trying to break into the homes of 3 sputnik employees and we spoke to. The head of the Turkey Office and he. A group of about 20 people came directly to each of our employees had their residential addresses they shouted threats and accusations against them after our colleagues went to the play station to report the incident we could not then reach them for many hours however according to the place their phones had not been taken from them right now we want to know how this crowd of nationalists found out the addresses of all our employees their names and names and the story did not end there today a group of Police Officers arrived at is down below office as well as to the editor in chief of sputnik turkey now the police are making copies very employees hard drives as i understand it our article on the turkish problems of has served as the basis for the searches given the recent events i want to say that we will now take measures to maximize the securities of the employees working in our office or to sofitel or has been across the story for us she spoke earlier with my colleague neil harvey. Because he has been grabbing headlines in recent days youve seen this picture of migrants flooding across its border but this is another story from that its been slightly over looked so you 3 journalists who work for russias sputniks news agency in ankara have been released now off to several hours in Police Custody and thats because after questioning no reason was found to hold them for i originally they actually went to the peace of their own free will because they wanted to file a complaint about an alleged attack that theyd been victims to in that own homes on saturday and after that nothing was heard from them until now of course which understandably sparked a concern from. The turkish authorities to intervene provide safety to the Russian Media and ensure that all circumstances are clarified its also said that the editor in chief of the Istanbul Bureau was also detained by police and what some are calling a flagrant violation of Media Freedom its now being confirmed that he too has been released and that happened is also thought to have searched the offices of the bureau interest of the attacks in the homes of the euro zones sinister what details do we know about those well its alleged that they were not spontaneous attacks but rather a coordinated a fact that they were instigated by turkish nationalists there are some reports saying that these nationalists gathered outside the private homes of these 3 journalists some of them even allegedly broke into them and they were chanting nationalist slogans and they also according to some stories versions they allegedly accuse these employees of betraying that country because they walk for the russian news outlet but why would that be such a still a t towards these 3 wall unfortunate some in tukey are blaming russia for the deaths of dozens of soldiers and in a syrian recently thats despite the fact. That and quest come out and very clearly said that we know that the Russian Air Force was in no way its also worth mentioning lets quickly listen to another motive that was suggested i condemned last nights threats an attempted attack against 3 turkey based sputnik journalists outside their homes in ankara also concerned that they were reportedly detained today over an. Authority to ensure the safety of foreign correspondents now the article in question is one in which 939. 00 disputed referendum in the now tucker province of the thai is discussed with some suggestion that potentially it was waged by the tux but i do want to say that that has not been confirmed or stop just as a motive for these attacks but it is briefly was just saying that this is unfortunate not the 1st time that sport has faced problems in 2016 for example the news website was temporarily blocked by the countrys Telecom Regulator as this latest turn of events would of course be keeping an eye on it and see how it all plays out turkey is not a model country regarding the treatment of its own journalists thousands have been thrown in jail. There are dozens remain in exile because they know that they too will be imprisoned if they do go back so the fact that they also do it to foreign media is not surprising the reason convention regarding the door to diplomats and most countries respect. And boy is better goes but for journalists. Not so clear and reporters are usually working democracy of the host government and if the media cannot operate just because their country of origin is no. Friction with the other. Country thats very wary some and perhaps he has something to hide. Well athens is deploying extra soldiers to its border with turkey in a bid to prevent refugees from crossing into greece this is as thousands continue to mass on the frontier tensions have escalated over the weekend with clashes erupting between police and migrants following turkeys decision on saturday to open its doors to europe 7. Oh god the. Roles of tory have been arrested in the. I mean my mind this is me go away during one country. Turkey has seen a growing sea of migrants crossing its borders after a decision to step up its intervention in the northern part of syria despite a deal reached with the e. U. In 2016 turkey now says it will no longer restrain hundreds of thousands of Asylum Seekers on its territory from reaching the e. U. Meanwhile greece says it has a bloc some 10000 migrants from illegally crossing its border but thousands more remain massed along it the greek government has accused turkey of using the migrant surjit to pressure europe over the syrian conflict a spokesperson for athens called the development a quote threat to the National Security of the country the escalating situation now poses the toughest test for greece since the 2015 financial crisis middle east analyst tomorrow cough believes the refugee problem will not end as long as the fighting continues in syria were urged to the turkish authorities find some cover for they operate sions immediately they want europe to become a stakeholder forth their operation in europe saying apparently that they want to make sure that no more refugees will cross the border between syria and turkey and that in a sense just defies for them arming the likes of journalism a strong. Against the syrian army profile and getting the problem rather than solving the problem because the only way this problem is going to be solved by sea rather storing its you know territorial integrity and people going back to their homes as long as there is fighting and they wont always be fighting as long as there is a bit of syrian outside Syrian Government control as long as there is fighting there will always be a few g. s. The 1st phase of joining us extradition case wrapped up this week the decision on whether he will be handed over or not will be reached in may when further hearings are scheduled for the prosecution argued that a songe knowingly put hundreds of lives at risk when he published a trove. Of classified u. S. Military files without redacting names and other Sensitive Information washington claims that following those leaks in 2010 sources disappeared in iraq afghanistan and iran the wiki leaks founder is also accused of encouraging the whistleblower and Army Intelligence analyst to Chelsea Manning to hack the pentagons Computer Network now in a songes defense his team has sought however to counter those allegations buttressing their case with previously undisclosed information to take a look at that they claim the publisher actually warned of then secretary of state Hillary Clinton about the leaks so as to ensure the safety of the individuals whose names appeared in the documents theyve also stressed that assad has activities are protected by the principles of press freedom and his lawyers have strongly rejected the assertion that he encouraged manning to hack the pentagon furthermore they say extradition would undermine their Clients Health during the hearing was held in a glass cage he was also prevented from talking to his lawyers we heard from one of them. A songe was in a grave condition before court but during the extradition proceedings had got even worse he was being held in a see through a room without any access to his lawyers while he was being delivered to this room he was handcuffed 11 times he underwent a full body search twice and went through 5 different rooms before he finally entered the court moreover a songe couldnt take part in the Court Process he was deprived of any kind of interaction with his lawyers he tried to reach out to be by passing a piece of paper through a gap in the glass box he was being held in and he was told off by the guard because of that i mean this is inconceivable how can a person be in Court Without being able to interact or communicate with his lawyers who are representing his interests. Throughout the week joining us on to supporters have been protesting outside the court claiming the case is a test of fundamental press freedoms and called on london and washington not to quote shoot the messenger. Into go the next admitted and in chose the many straws the body had been for the release why arent we discussing the harm that was released there was revealed by the releases of which is in 20102011 why arent we here talking in court about the war crimes yes as a nation of innocent civilians by the military the slaughtering of reuters journalists that is what we should be talking about in a courtroom in this country and in america you know you say what why is everybody here today they hear because they dont believe mainstream narrative we spoke to a politician broadcaster and former british m. P. George galloway about concerns surrounding the freedom of the press. Do then our sons is a friend of mine and thats not the Julian Assange sitting in the courtroom this man is mentally and physically shrunken and how could it be otherwise after a whole decade of this cruel and unusual punishment who will volunteer to be the next julian our son who will receive the evidence which checks out as being true of high crimes and misdemeanors by the Us Government or any government for that matter including our own and then report it to the public there will be had there would have to be either foolhardy or extremely brave because if they did so they run a very high risk of ending up in a bulletproof box in woolwich ground for facing extradition and the rest of your life in prison in the United States trust me that wont have a Chilling Effect on free journalism in the world it will have a killing effect. Theres a dirty story for you tons of garbage from belgium is being illegally dumped across the border into france in the mountains of trash have left the locals fearing for their health dubinsky picks up the story. This may look like part of a landfill site but its not all of this waste has been dumped here illegally were just a few miles from the border with belgium and luxembourg and the french town of all call mu 9 is one of many struggling to cope with what you can see mountains and to mountains of garbage that have appeared since october in nearby its a similar story trash both household and commercial has been dumped under the cover of darkness city. At 1st we thought it was regular waste but it turns out people are illegally dumping their washing machines. They have thrown everything away. Yes but here we see its far more serious we estimate around 200 tons of waste its enormous as far as the pollution we dont know whats inside it could be tons of who knows what type of products. Chemicals. We dont know we see cleaning products plastics but more could be hidden it didnt take long before calls track down where the waste was coming from what if we did i was looking through the trench piles and piles of it it all had signs of being from the same place we searched and found out it was from on turnip. And that if there is an envoy to it is it and. Im very near it says. So of s o o n when the company was contacted it didnt need any knowledge of illegal waste dumping but the local resident jessica told me that since that statement the fly tipping has continued its been described as dumping on an industrial scale and you can see why back in the local Fishermans Association is also concerned. On the water source or close to this pollution so there can be a problem because it could affect our pond this is the 21st century there are designated places to put waste like this on its an acceptable and people are doing this and regulate the Mayors Office says the cost of cleaning this up is beyond its means no and if you know so on a financial level for us this is impossible to solve we have a Small Community of 1000. 00 people it would cost the equivalent of the whole annual budget to get rid of this. A criminal investigation into this problem with cross border dumping has we know you print and customs agents have stepped up their patrols now in 2017 they reported 7 metric tons of waste like this was illegally trafficked into france in 2018 that shot up to 130000000 metric. Tuns now although there are no figures yet available for 29000. 00 it is clear that this issue is escalating the communities here are fed up of being a dumping ground for other peoples waste they want more regulation and are calling on the e. U. To step in to solve a problem that some believe europes open borders are helping to facilitate schalit do you can ski for r. T. In mosul. Germany has lifted a ban on the commercial practice of euthanasia but critics fear that the right to die will now be exploited for profit hes peter all over takes all. Almost 5 years after it was banned the highest court in germany has ruled that blocking assisted suicide is unconstitutional and making its ruling on wednesday the Constitutional Court in culture is said everyone has a right to live and a right to die article 217 of the german criminal code outlawed euthanasia as well as the advertising of the services what this ruling from the Constitutional Court means is that thats being overturned and not only could Companies Offer euthanasia but that advertising for the day could also stop being seeing the thinking behind wednesdays court ruling is that this will allow those in extreme paying and suffering from terminal illnesses to end their lives on their terms however senior voices within Palliative Care are warning that this could perhaps only to the normalization and indeed the commodification of suicide in society now the facilitation of suicide for the sick and tired of life is turning into a normal Service Anyone who allows you to nature will sooner or later make it compulsory to die especially in this society is economize designers knowledge of experience across all other countries shows that supply creates demand immediately following the ruling politicians are asking what situations this will be allowed in also what the commercial implications will be for companies wanting to get involved in the euthanasia business i want clear rules about when medical assistance in particular is allowed and when commercial offerings are excluded it is perfectly normal for people who have a terminal diagnosis to feel suicide in fact some of the studies show that i have 80 percent go through a period of depression with some sort of sidle thoughts and so what we should be doing is trying to find ways to assist those people in getting through that period and actually. Being there lives rather than promoting assisted suicide and Euthanasia Services so we would be extremely worried about any commercialization all round of the process or indeed promotion that would lead to many fine reports people feeling that their lives were not worth living and actually ending them prematurely highest people here in berlin what their thoughts d are on the ruling of whether this is right for germany its not a commercial thing dying it its something that needs care security it needs. Yes professionalism i think there are certain things that you cannot put to sale to people like its not a business you pay for yes i know want to commit suicide but im suffering i want to end my life you cannot do that to pay for it seems to me there was very bad incentives there if for example that advertising was actually targets people who were already having a hard time it could lead to people considering suicide more strongly i dont disagree with their physician assisted suicide just because like there are certain aspects that are beneficial for it but in terms of the advertising i could go either way like a really it depends on who is in control of that promoting this kind of fings for me is that a progress currently within a year of belgium the netherlands looks a book and switzerland all allow assisted dying but with germany said to joy in the concerns are about that what is one of the most sensitive of subjects could be set to become a Business Opportunity peace for all of. 4 years after they lost the white house to donald trump the democrats are still paranoid about russian collusion and even suspect their own Bernie Sanders is now being targeted by the kremlin argued on quarter as unique commentary. Good news comrades our agent Bernie Sanders is doing better than we expected in the primaries are planned to have 2 agents fight over the presidency Operation Hammer and sickle is a go but we have one problem some in the Democratic Party establishment are becoming savvy to our strategy Vladimir Putin thinks donald trump should be president of the United States and thats why russia is helping Bernie Sanders get elected so hell lose to trump it doesnt help that just last week western media published information about our top secret operation exposing the connection between agents trump and sanders with our center in moscow as you learned tonight and today and yesterday the day before is going to have were going to help coming from learn to be prudent. For health for 102 new one somebody who didnt think can be from at least agent trump was able to follow orders i admit nothing deny everything and make counter accusations it was highly exaggerated. And frankly i think its disgraceful and i think it was a leak from the Intelligence Committee our house version and i think that they leaked it i think probably shipley good agent sanders on the other hand really dropped the ball he panicked and that is the ugliest thing theyre doing is they are trying to cause chaos the trying to cause a truth in america its an ugly business and all of us have got to say sorry youre not going to do this in the selection and again is present in the United States. You will not interfere in our elections the order was to deny sanders deny but he broke under pressure blowing the cover of our moscow back to bernie bros i design these people they are not part of our movement all of us remember 2016 and what we meant what we remember is efforts by russians and others to try to interfere in our election and divide us up. Im not saying thats happening but it would not shock me the center has good reason to believe agent sanders has been compromised were losing control over his actions and hes praising our strategic allies too openly you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a Massive Literacy Program its not a bad think its only a matter of time before they discover the interview agent sanders gave to profit i mean r t what effect do you think you can have on your voters it was so close here in iowa well i just hope that people take a hard look at the real issues impacting their lives to make matters worse we may have a mole in our midst how else could the footage have been leaked remember when the comrades recruited sanders at the new years party of 1908 bernie spent his honeymoon in there in soviet russia i mean i think youre going to go back and forth about whos more in the tank with russia its a really hard one between barney and rob we have made too many tactical blunders as it is and western pundits are already undergoing a campaign to discredit our agent obviously we know the russians are continuing to try to choose our next president like they chose our last president the russians dont want me to be the nominee who spent a lot of money on bots on facebook and theyve been taken down say biden is a bad guy they dont want biden rule in politics pick your opponent and putin and trump are picking their opponent the happiest person right now its about one thing time this thing is going very well for blatter we have to promise you. Probably stay up watching us right now how you doing but i had our rivals already know too much comrade commissar i think its time to extract our agents. Are that does it for me and i would back with one more look at your weekly at the top of the hour youre watching our International Lead with us. Banks guys are financial survival you know they say money to the relatives who live close to it is it this is the central perk support dying at the moment i dont call them i know its a stop to that. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. For. A long while come to worlds apart 17 years ago de walt was convulsing with protest against the war in iraq one even sat a Guinness World record for the largest war rally ever but now that the 3000000 in drone nor the over 13000000. 00 protesting across the globe could stall the Bush Administration from launching Operation Iraqi freedom which would law could be country in fratricidal violence for years to calm whats really take. For iraq to recover from it all to discuss that im now joined by a far higher. Chairman of the Iraqi Advisory Council and a former political advisor to iraqi president mr walden its so good to talk to you thank you very much for your time. Thank you for having me now next month as you just heard me mention will mark the 70th anniversary of the Bush Administrations decision to invade your country on false pretenses and while nobody these days there is to defend the rationale for that why i think there is still a discussion going on about whether the american intelligence was so bad by accident or by design doesnt even matter as far as you are concerned or clearly of invasion of iraq on the liberation of what we call it of iraq has been a turning point in iraq as history. Also was a chance for iraqi liberation from tyranny. I have been exposed to for a good 35 years or so that the iraqi people lived under persecution torture. And political persecution that they were subjected to a very bloody regime for years and years so we as iraqis most of us would see it as a liberation although it was termed later talking persian and led to a lot of unrest and conflict but in its core the tours are a cause for celebration for iraqis well its interesting you say that this liberation as you just alluded to came at the at a very high cost and i would argue that many people in iraq are still paying that cost with the main risks and insecurities and our own life so are you saying that it was all worth it historically that it was the prize acceptable for iraq to pay to be free from tyranny. Well the thing is i dont think its a qantas fireable argument to say this is worth a dollar not worth it in terms of we we dont look at a bad way what is clearly sure as irag was living under. Very to ironic that the dictator who who was holding to power at whatever cost and we have seen the cost of hundreds of thousands killed we called in to an aid to year bloody war that more than a 1000000 iraqis were killed in the war as well as 1000000 or plus iranians were killed on the did the rest of you see in the region is all to do with that regime. We have seen so its not a comparable situation room one for one but for iraqis they injure a lot more freedom than they ever had and the saddams regime at the same time the welfare of the iraqi people is by far better now than then and what it was yes there are setbacks in terms of security and some of the stable it is due to new factors that got into the
