You know since learning to disagree you know we were talking about an individual in a shed with expose i mean he was also make initiators im just an h. Is. Midday here and moscow from everyone in the news room thanks for joining us this. Story for you this hour imprisoned u. S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning is recovering in hospital after attempting suicide in jail she was due to appear in court this friday morning has been in prison since may for refusing to testify against wiki leaks before a grand jury while ali i got more on the developments from our correspondent give. But it was allegedly a very very close run thing because the guards when they found her she was hanging by a sheet in her cell unresponsive unconscious and blue already blue they got there in time fortunately the they took her down administer 1st aid she was still breathing they rushed her to the hospital and then i think is now 5 there is no danger to her health shes shes responsive shes talking to her lawyers and unfortunately for her to appear in Court Tomorrow a day after you know a near death experience ms manning is still scheduled to appear on friday for a previously calendared hearing she remains unwavering in her refusal to participate in a secret grand jury process that she sees as highly susceptible to abuse her actions today evidence the strength of her convictions as well as the profound harm she continues to suffer as a result of her civil confinement and give us a bit of back story i mean what has landed manning behind bars again well over the last she has been a seesaw for Chelsea Manning a very unpleasant one so last year she was ordered to testify before a grand jury a grand jury is a panel of citizens who have been called by the state to investigate whether a crime has been committed and more to do about it whether to prosecute or whether to let it go and the Court Ordered Chelsea Manning to testify before this panel about her ties to Julian Assange and wiki leaks about the documents that she had handed over in 2010 something that she says she has already done so she said to the judge no i wont do it this is getting you know this is the government abusing the law in order to go after whistle blows to go after journalists to muzzle them to shut them up which is something that Chelsea Manning doesnt want to do she 1st. Says that this is a she has already testified she has said what she had to say earlier or attempting to chorus me with a grand jury subpoena is not going to work. I will not cooperate with this or any other grand jury the questions are the same questions that i was asked before the Court Martial in my. 78 years ago theres nothing new theres not theyre not asking anything new theyre out there theres no new information that theyre trying to get from me in fact that the questions are very much the the same things that ive gone over the judge didnt like that at all so he ordered her to be indefinitely detained incarcerated behind bars until she talked she was let go for a few months then ordered back to prison until she talked furthermore theres a fire as well a progressively larger fired every day at this point shes being fined a 1000. 00 for standing by her principles essential that you talk there about how its been a kind of tough a few years for us probably an understatement i mean we know she spent such a long time in jail 7 years before then back again in march 29th teen i mean have human rights reacted to their son and what what has been the reaction of those theres been all sorts of reaction from from of variety of organizations from Rights Groups from journalists unions and. Many organizations have come out and said what is happening is simply unacceptable the u. N. Says that what the United States is doing keeping her president till she says whats the what they want to hear is essential to torture the continued detention of manning is not a lawful sanction but an open ended progressively severe coercive measure remembering to torture and should be discontinued and abolished without delay 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 and the order of judicial authority. So mark just talk us through whats happened whats led to this moment as a sentence initially which is many years over a decade was commuted by Barack Obamas 7 years so Chelsea Manning was jailed back in 2010 for providing leaks for leaking to wiki leaks thousands hundreds of thousands of classified documents from the pentagon. Obviously she tried to kill herself so the pressure must be getting to. You know no matter how no matter how strong someone is how how how set by their principles they are incarcerated in these huge lines and the pressure it all builds up but we also got reaction from china who says that are dangerous and assuming wiki leaks and whistleblowers. The Chelsea Mannings attempted suicide shows the highly punitive nature of this entire u. S. Investigation into wiki leaks and they are essentially theyve accused julian masonic of attempting to hack. Top secret u. S. Computers which is a very strange thing because he really only functioned as a journalist not as a hacker if they succeeded next year out in june a songe and and putting on him on trial. And then convicting him then essentially any journalist who receives any information at all from any kind of government source will be in grave danger of being accused of encouraging and thereby abetting the leaking of secret information so essentially its a its a its a direct threat to journalism as we know it and that if assad is convicted then really half of journalism will be shut down so i think its very serious its very dangerous. And i think that any journalist worth his salt should be up in arms over his work government is doing. Corona virus infections have now been registered and 114 countries eating the wild Health Organization to now classify the socalled covert 19 as a pandemic the number of affected countries. We have that for many of the system and that could feed 19 can be kind of as a pundit mix well in europe it does remain the biggest concern with more than 10000 known cases of corona virus automat and imagine serum dr to learn more about the difficulties facing medics. 2. To turn up the rest of the night was very exhausting just like all night 7 the past 2 weeks around here we saw dozens and dozens of people of varying ages that arrive at our emergency room with coronavirus like the amount of. Clear that if the community doesnt fall of the restrictions on the numbers continue to rise at a certain point our ability to help people will reach its limit. Ringback and there are a approximately 40 patients that are waiting to be admitted over the same problem which is coronavirus like. So that was in its name but all across the e. U. The number of corona virus cases has topped 20000 our europe correspondent peter out of a now looks into how the block is struggling to establish a joint response. Concern over the corona virus is running at fever pitch in the year right now its now caught up in the corona virus panic sweeping the globe major concepts and Sports Events could well be canceled in an effort to stop the spread of the corona virus so i think its a very impactful business staff productivity but also limiting travel tourism a large public event is a new cases reported in europe a huge spike in cases italy italy on lockdown the sweeping quarantine affected order of the population italy could be justified in promoting a lack of unity from the e. U. Neighbors earlier this week the italians pleaded with brussels for more help rome should not be left toggle this crisis alone this is a crisis that requires a global 1st and foremost a European Response we are thankful to the European Commission for its positive engagement but its time now for the e. U. To go beyond engagement and consultations with emergency actions that are quick concrete and effective while the European Commission announced a multi 1000000000 euro aid package for Member States to help them deal with the crisis there was no specific aid for italy announced leaving the hardest hit in europe to rely on the hardest hit in the world for the aid they sorely need. For good that italy supported china during the most difficult times of fighting the pedantic now we also want to stand by the italian people although china still has a large demand for medical supplies will step up our efforts to export urgently needed materials and equipment to eataly literally told those of protective clothing face masks globes and all important lifesaving ventilators from china are expected to be in italy by the weekend meanwhile the e. U. Nations cant decide what to do with italy with some fencing themselves off from their beleaguered neighbor it be in its. It was shot focus what we dont want things to get out of proportion as you fly because it needs to be useful and because this is only the beginning of the epidemic and if we take disproportionate measures they will be unsustainable in the long run and theres counterproductive because i sincerely believe that these are bad decisions european carbonation is much more efficient efforts at confinement postcodes are more efficient measures requiring patients to be responsible and stay home quarantine measures are much more efficient. And if youre expecting that powerhouse of european politics until a miracle to bring some calm to the Current Situation youd be disappointed the german chancellor is expecting things to get worse before they get better by the muslim 1st in the us you will start we have to understand that the population have no need to the virus there is no vaccine so far no treatment experts say about 60 to 70 percent of people in germany are likely to be in fact it if the virus continues spreading. The cost more people will die here too perhaps recognizing the disjointed response from the European Union the chancellor also called for solidarity and unity between the Member States but all the e. U. Members were left only impressed i dont want to comment on the situation in germany although i believe that such statements rather cause panic in any case we have adopted strong measures for such worst Case Scenarios to be out of the question with the coronavirus and trenching itself in europe so it seems is division in how to tackle it peter all of r. T. And father feel the current virus crisis has also reached the greek island of last boss while one case has now been confirmed that is concerned that an outbreak wolf the stretch Public Services on an island thats currently sheltering more than 20000 in a crowded refugee camp conditions in the shell. The are notoriously poor with a lack of basic hygiene and Health Care Provision locals are less was now worried that will only accelerate the potential spread of cobra 1000. 00. If it gets like italy will be doomed because the island only has one hospital it is good if they managed to isolate one or 2 of those infected with corona virus who would have the feel and let the infection spread further you can imagine what will happen if they begin to move them there will be many issues and they will be big the virus is likely to spread very fast it will only be maria thats affected but also mightily the whole island of lesbos will be in trouble i have family on the island and of course im afraid here we have our homes our farms our jobs they say many bad things about us but it dealing with this issue. In an unprecedented move Britains Supreme Court has found that experimenting with explosives can be legal its after a man who was cleared of terror related charges so just a bit about him 22 year old Charles Copeland who was diagnosed with autism was arrested in 2800. 00 after making homemade bombs on conducting experimental explosions in his backyard he was initially charged with 6 counts of possessing information likely to be useful for an act of terrorism copeland was earlier handed a 22 month prison sentence bock has now been cleared of the more serious tera charges as a matter of law personal experimentation and self education are lawful objects where we discuss the ruling with former Police Officer leaves Beckett University Law School Senior researcher david gallo as well as human rights. Obviously every case is different and we have to look at the facts of each case and this case the explosive substance that this 22 year old at that time perhaps even younger had made in in the unit in the garden shed in his house was just less than 10 grams of that substance my main question is why would anyone want to have explosives in the 1st place you know i look at it from from the the aspect of terrorism this country the u. K. Faces a terrorist threat from 3 fronts theres a missed the extreme far right the neo nazis i dont lessons to give given this defense of experimentation and and education i think this over use and over Expansion Expansion of terror offenses i think this is a good at least a good 1st step to say that no not everything where you see explosives or where you see something we dont quite understand what that person is doing or what their motives are it doesnt mean that theyre they should be treated as a terrorist suspect the fact is that you know terrorism legislation has to be why when youre investigating you want to prevent with a small plane you want to prevent an attack from happening just because someone has in their possession you know any amount of any explosive substance doesnt mean that they should be guilty of a criminal offense or a tariff fans because of his condition he might have had you know it does cause a person to become antisocial perhaps he was withdrawn perhaps he was an introvert he was unable to join the army as he wanted to because of this condition you know it was just experimentation it was just learning as the Supreme Court said you know self learning i mean if anything perhaps its a benefit but i dont see any harm that came from it i have to disagree you know we were talking about an individual in a shared with explosive when he was also make initiators and detonators and i want to know why would anybody just want to have explosives on their own property theres no legitimate reason its like with firearms moby thought issues in the past weve introduced legislation to protect the use of firearms we know why he was doing what he was doing now of the. In another case where someones trying to hide it were not quite sure of someones motives then they would question uninvestigated in a different way but the whole point is that it can be an innocent pursuit it can be an innocent hobby it can be just for self learning is that that is not impossible to me is the legal point of the fact that you have these explosives and ok that could be a defense but with the 2 dissenting judges you need a lawful purpose and thats what they said no agree with them. The americans on one british soldier have been killed and at least 12 others injured in a rocket attack on an iraqi air base near baghdad the coalition has confirmed the incident but given no further details. 3 Coalition Personnel were killed during the rocket attack on camp taji iraq on march the 11th the names of the personnel are withheld bended next of kin notification in accordance with National Policies the attack is under investigation by the coalition and Iraqi Security forces petition rockets were fired on a military base to the north of baghdad that houses American Military personnel 2 american soldiers and one british servicemen have been killed 12 people have been wounded and are being treated for their injuries now the following video purports to show the moment of the attack but it is unverified some are some are some arent. And not work or. Know what it cause of our garden in particular but the vehicle that launched the rockets has been found an investigation has been launched now we are hearing of strikes that are happening in the iraqi province and in the syrian area of book near the border it is not so to whether these are telling a true text for the strikes on the air base but it certainly does seem that way at the moment at the same time we can tell you that tensions in the region and particularly in iraq have been increasing ever since the assassination of a top in rain in general cause some sort of money so short time ago and since then weve seen these tensions escalate retired u. S. Air force left handed colonel Karen Kwiatkowski says u. S. Military violations abroad of any created hostile conditions you know we have International International law and traditions of international conduct that we honor. That we expect other countries to honor in the United States we dont honor them at all apparently consider that any country in be a target any country can be an enemy and we do not need a 100 our constitution we do not need congressional declarations of war before we bombing the story of the country you know the American People are not well informed on. Foreign policy in general really are generally one side of it its not just that we its not just that we take along your hands that we invade and bomb other countries without warrant without a legal or rational occasion for it we also lie about it before during and after. A u. S. Nuclear submarine has been caught on camera breaking through ice in the arctic with critics saying its a clear sign of an increasing minute to presence in the far north the vessel was taking part in a u. S. Led trail aimed at improving operational capabilities in the region. This week u. S. And canadian fighter jets intercepted 2 russian Reconnaissance Aircraft off the coast of alaska the u. S. Has been raising concerns over claimed threats in the arctic region last Year Congress approved funding for 2 new icebreakers and backed a plan for no less than 6 more and 2800. 00 thousands of american soldiers took part in a large scale nato trial that happened in norway meanwhile moscow has approved its new arctic state policy all the way through to 2035 it sets out the countrys main objectives tosk National Interests the plan says russia is primarily focused on Economic Issues from improving Living Standards for local russians to fostering development and protecting the environment but u. S. Officials remain unconvinced. By fielding advance long range missiles and expanding its military presence in the region russia has left us with no choice but to improve our Homeland Defense capability and capacity director of the Oxford Crisis Research Institute thats mark almond believes the potential for conflict in the arctic has reached a dangerous level i think there is a danger of militarization of the arctic region and. That in turn raises questions of security for everybody concerned because weve got used in a sense to this grassed area being a relatively low tension area but now if youre going to have Nuclear Submarines perhaps sensible minds in moscow and washington could talk through this and come to some arrangement to regulate the presence of military forces and the use of them but sadly in recent years weve seen the United States withdrawing from arms control agreements so having a new one for the arctic region is in maybe talk to mr. Hope that is too optimistic. And finally for many nations colonialism might be seen as a dirty word but apparently not so in britain a survey that has found that a 3rd of brits hanker for the long lost days of empire as arties k. Partridge explains. It was deemed the empire on which the some never set such was its past size but for those on the receiving end of britains imperial ambitions it was often a dark chapter in the history. Yet the colonial crimes of the British Empire seem to be fading from modern memory a recent poll in the u. K. Suggests this nostalgia for the old days with almost a 3rd of britains proud of the empire and its achievements i think we did a lot of good just well for other people for the other countries britain isnt alone over a quarter of the french approve of their old empire and hauffe of the dutch are proud of that as imperialists claim literacy infrastructure such as well ways and Democratic Values as positive effects on the conquered nations but others think its a brutal system that was inherently unfair but depends very side of the fence he said on obviously if you were late saying it is a good idea if youre on the other side of that it was i guess it was good for us im not sure hes good for the people of the empire necessarily while the sun has set on most of the old empire there are still pockets of dispute london is currently involved in an ongoing battle with militias which condemns the u. K. For controlling the che goss archipelago in the indian ocean mischas has called britain an illegal colonial occupier and is backed by the un but the u. K. Disagrees the u. K. Has no doubt as to our sovereignty over the British Indian ocean territory which has been under continuous British Government least since 814. 00 there are 6 other vestiges of empire which still cause. Offense such as the massacre in india in 1919 colonial troops killed around 600 armed people in what was incorrectly believed to be an uprising the British Government has never formally apologized while the current Prime Minister has his own view of colonialism the best fate for africa would be if the colonial powers or their citizens scrambled once again in her direction on the understanding that this time they will not be asked to feel guilty Boris Johnson later apologized for his comments yet according to the latest poll the sentiments are why do you felt in britain and across europe as a time when britain is searching for its place in the world after practice it someone looking to the past to forge an idea of its future take partridge ot london thats how things are looking for now up next here its one of our Award Winning documentary is enjoying. We have to realize we are all living on a small fragile spaceship together and its really no different than a bunch of people in a harsh environment trying to you know rely on each other to survive we are interconnected and on this planet we rely on each other or who are around the world to survive as a species. So she and i as a nation established the social thing to us and investors but there it. Is a little shes a mother could offer you a forward which will come through for.
