A shared with exposure when he was also make initiators and detonates is. Very well welcome to you know watching r. T. International with me. Our top story this hour imprisoned u. S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning is recovering in hospital after attempting suicide in jail she was due to a parent court on friday morning has been in prison since may for refusing to testify against wiki leaks before a grand jury found taylor got more on the developments earlier from correspondent. 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 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 the Chelsea Manning doesnt want to do she further says that this is a she has already testified she has said what she had to say earlier on attempting to corus me with a grand jury subpoena is just 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 it 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 progressively larger fired every day at this point shes been fined a 1000. 00 for standing by her principles essential and 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 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 essentially 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 authorities simmered just talk us through whats happened whats led to this moment his sentence initially which is many years over a decade was commuted by barack. 7 years or so Chelsea Manning was jailed back in 2010 for providing we could leaks for leaking to wiki leaks thousands hundreds of thousands of classified documents from the pentagon. 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 said by the principles they are incarceration in these huge winds and the pressure it all builds up journalist daniel is and says there are dangers in pursuing wiki leaks and with us. 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 of songe 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 a him on trial of your house 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 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 of the up in arms or he or government is doing too. Little some markets are continuing to suffer blows off the World Health Organization officially classified the cowrote a Virus Outbreak as a pandemic 114 countries now have confirmed cases the number of affected countries. We have therefore demanded be an assessment that could lead 19 can be kind of raised as a pundit mix. Well in europe italy remains the biggest concern with more than 12000 known cases of corona virus r. T. Met an emergency room doctor to learn more about the difficulties facing medics. No not just that 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 us. Not to clear that if the community doesnt follow 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. Across the e. U. The number of corona virus cases has topped 28000 our europe correspondent piece all of a looks into how the block is struggling to establish a joint response. Concern over the coronavirus is ruining it for you the picture in the year right now its now caught up in the coronavirus panic sweeping the globe major concepts and Sports Events could well be canceled in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus 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 back to the order of the population italy could be justified in promoting a lack of unity from their neighbors earlier this week the italians pleaded with brussels for more help rome should not be left horrible 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 multibillion 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. To get that italy support to 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 us of protective clothing facemasks 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 that beleaguered neighbor it be in. Focus is 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 uncle or merkel 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 truth of course 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 a r. T. As the Coronavirus Crisis deepens in italy an association of lawyers there has requested humanitarian assistance from the russian authorities saying the e. U. Is not doing enough we spoke to the president of the union. The problem is that population especially in the safe parts of the country. Population has not at the necessary kit we are in a very and desperate situation government is completely unqualified to you know some cargo march group from anywhere and that is. A reason that our us to see asian made to do is a strong step to contact to the russian government or to us to our newman humanitarian corridor really between moscow and solder leads only italy is not even on the necessary harked. All the counter is especially germany and france are sure we have a very strong politic problem we think that Italian Government must be legitimate to ask france Ship Partnership to all countries included rush of course. In an unprecedented move Britain Supreme Court has found that experimenting with explosives that can be legal is after a man was cleared of terror related charges and 22 year old Chaz Copeland who was diagnosed with autism was arrested in 2018 are thought to making homemade bombs and conducting experimental explosions in his backyard he was initially charged with thinks counts of possessing information likely to be useful for an act of terrorism copeland was earlier handed a 22 month prison sentence but has now been cleared of the more serious terror charges as a matter of law personal experimentation and self education are lawful objects so we discuss the ruling with former Police Officer and lead to Beckett University Law School Senior Research David lowe and also a human rights lawyer so a car. 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 than they are nazis and the 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 curtail 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 and investigated 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 not agree with the. 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 military presence in the far north the vessel was taking part in a u. S. Led drill aimed at improving operational capabilities in the region. Earlier 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 back to plan for no less than 6 more in 2018 thousands of american soldiers took part in a large scale nato drill in norway well meanwhile moscow has approved its new arctic state policy through 2035 now that sets out the countrys main objectives tasks and National Interests there the plan say is russia is primarily focused on Economic Issues from improving Living Standards for local russians to fostering development on protecting the environment but u. S. Officials remain unconvinced by fielding advance a long range missiles and expanding its military presence in the region russia has left us with no choice between proven Homeland Defense capability and capacity director of the Oxford Crisis Research Institute mark almonds believes the potential for conflict in the arctic has reached a dangerous level. I think there is a danger of a 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. Term there i can found 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 gave 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 to american soldiers and one bush 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 and they were fired some are some are some are. Not working or. So out it goes with our garden and reappear 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 certain 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 because some sort of money short time ago and since then weve seen these tensions escalate. Were talking to u. S. Air force Lieutenant Colonel karen quick koski says u. S. Military violations abroad have 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 can be a target any country can be an enemy and we do not need hundreds our constitution we do not need congressional declarations of war before we bomb industry other countries you know the American People are not well informed on Foreign Policy in general we only hear generally one side of it its not just that we its not just that we take a lawn chair our hands that we invade and bomb other countries without warrant without a legal or rational justification for it we also lie about it before during and after. Supporters of one u. S. Election candidate who dropped out of the race have given themselves a permanent reminder of their efforts by getting tattoos reflecting elizabeth warrens Campaign Slogan but but designs are causing offense take a look. I. Think. If youre thinking of getting a holocaust style tattoo you know on or off your favorite politician please dont. Look like or whatever but my grandparents had concentration camp tattoos and it just seems insane that they wouldnt think if it werent supporters branding themselves with holocaust and crypto fascist imagery it was not the turn i expected but in retrospect the postmodern world system is collapsing so. Thanks to all who called me on this i didnt want to evoke or make light of the holocaust i apologize for a mission to mars. And you all im sorry as well and will be making modifications i would recommend for fall short of thinking of a similar to to please look filter so you can look at it from 2 perspectives the answer is on 1st level no you shouldnt be you should not be spared because of ignorance on the other hand we need to come to grips with the fact also that were in an age where the last of the survivors are beginning to die off and so unless the capital perpetrators have also die and to a young person its very hard if they havent steeped in it to really understand the meaning of it and we need. Tend to stand that there have to accept the fact that someones really dont get it at this point its an historic event its beginning to fade into a stark memories and we need to find ways of making it real to these people so i dont think they can be totally forgiven on the other hand we need to keep in mind the fact that you know we do with a generation that is beginning to not to know what this was all about and we need to find the right the right balance but obviously. No one should be doing things like that. When they get in touch and let us know your thoughts on this story and Everything Else by following us on social media were back at the top of the hour with the latest for you that. I. Was going to.
