Election. A very warm welcome to you youre watching r. T. International with me nikki. Now a former u. S. Intelligence analyst is facing up to 50 years in prison for allegedly leaking Sensitive Information about washingtons covert Drone Warfare Program to the media daniel hale who was arrested on thursday served as a language analyst and for the air force between 292013 in 2011 he was also assigned to work for the National Security agency and given top secret security clearance its alleged that during that time he established communication with a reporter and later provided him with the documents stolen from n. S. A. Computers well hell was indicted under the espionage act on 5 charges related to the theft retention and transmission of classified information each carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison the press Freedom Organization Reporters Without Borders has sharply criticized the arrest arguing it represents a direct threat to investigate Investigative Journalism with more now on the story his kaleb open. Many observers are noting that the information provided in the indictment seems to indicate that its possible he could be the person that leaked information to the intercept and reporter Jeremy Scahill that was later published in his book the drone papers however the intercept has refused to confirm or deny that this was indeed their source this is what was said by the intercept the intercept does not comment on matters relating to the identity of Anonymous Sources these documents detail the secrets on accountable process for targeting and killing people around the world including u. S. Citizens through drone strikes they all revised to limp or since the alleged whistleblower faces up to 50 years in prison no one has ever been held accountable for killing civilians enjoying strikes now the information that was published by the intercept seems to indicate that there is a high civilian death toll in the u. S. Drone warfare operations that have been waged for the past 14 years in afghanistan somalia and yemen they say the high death toll is due to the fact that there is a preference for killing targets rather than capturing them furthermore it is difficult for u. S. Intelligence agencies to extract the information they need from terror suspects and those that they have in custody the military is easily capable of adaption to change but they dont like to stop anything they feel is making their lives easier or is to their benefit but they have become so addicted to this machine to this way of doing business that it seems like its going to become harder and harder to pull them away from it the longer theyre allowed to continue operating in this way. Now there has been quite an ugly history of the u. S. Drone Strike Program many civilians have been killed lets review some of what has gone on as the u. S. Carries out targeted assassination with drones. Many are observing the situation saying there is a big crackdown on whistleblowers being carried out by the u. S. Government recently Chelsea Manning was released from federal custody but its expected that she could return if she does not testify against wiki leaks furthermore wiki leaks founder Julian Assange just now facing the possibility of being extradited to the United States to face charges of computer intrusion whatever tolerance there was for those who leaked classified information about government malfeasance seems to be gone there is supposed to be a lot actually that prevents classification of information evidencing a crime and so a lot of the classification over classification is actually to prevent people from learning about crimes which is completely illegal its very difficult to explain to people because they dont understand that youre not supposed to be able to commit a crime and then be able to cover it up and weve gone so far and pressing freedom of speech and freedom of the press that people really are pretty ignorant about all of the stuff going on except for the so cation oh you know documentary or book written or newspaper article with the help of whistleblowers and the government is definitely trying to stop all whistle blowing in all Investigative Journalism that would lie sign any insider information. A military source in pakistan say the Security Guard is being killed off the several gunmen stormed a 5 star hotel in the south. Half the lecture building is part of a chinese funded multibillion dollar project and popular among tourists Officials Say the attackers were cornered near the top floor earlier we got an update from an expert on International Terrorism in islamabad. The Baluchistan Liberation Army be as a has taken this responsibility distribute brief background into the pakistani chinese relationship that is the chinese Pakistani Economic corridor or its the 600. 00 kilometer long corridor and governor there is the center point or the entry point of that order so that was very obvious target of the terrorist activity that was there but according to the recent of course that are coming and the police and the armed forces have cordoned of the area well they have been insurgency going on in this largest in terms of its geographic province of pakistan and even in baluchistan just last month the Security Forces officials were attacked and it was claimed that some of the insurgents were crossing over from the iranian sorry all the attack so the overall situation it appears that the relative calm that has appeared to come back in pakistan has been disturbed i must have some to our guard this is a security failure as well because in the article just on in god that there is no big Building Infrastructure of the this is such a big hotel the only international doubt there are national and International Stage and National International dignitaries come there journalists to come there is no on that obvious building in that area so if that has been a doubt that is a serious question mark about the overall security of greatness. The balkan nation of albania has been rocked by a mass protest in the capital city around of a saturday opposition parties that are staging an antigovernment rally against what they call widespread corruption. Was going to the was the end was. The with her also dead. Straight against organized crime allegations the government though denies theres a heavy security presence at the scene which has seen sporadic fires break out as opposition figures could be heard chanting antigovernment slogans from a makeshift podium in the quelled. Of the many people vying to be the next u. S. President theres one which donald trump seems to be watching pretty closely former democratic Vice President joe biden transported a few similarities between early successes in his 2016 campaign and that of his rival today and thats not all that soon maybe opposites on the political spectrum but it seems theyve also got more strategic fix more than strategic success in colo a video from 2006 has resurfaced showing then Vice President biden saying he voted for a Strong Border fence partly due to migrants from latin america bringing drugs or rather different from his tone later on. For a. White on white most Democratic Society lot like our other 700. Blue dogs are focused. Right across the border. Here. Very wired what is really. Important here. Theres a lot of use to actually say we. Lost the problems are not bound by border drug. Climate you. Know. Item is not the only democrat to argue for stronger border defenses while running for office barack obama and Hillary Clinton working on the 2 bill before us will certainly do smell good. There will authorize some badly needed funding for better fences and better security along our borders maybe theyll need a moat. They didnt want alligators in the might now secure our borders with Technology Personnel physical barriers if necessary and some places we will not build a wall instead we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one journalist and author daniel is on hold is that that hypocrisy in the democrat count when it comes to Border Security was really difficult to criticize trying to call him or her strong the border this was the same time as our recognizing that the more liberal border arrangements promoted by nafta haseltine and the the transport of a lot of drugs and other assumptions is across the border so democrats enjoy playing both sides of the sets they they have tried their best to keep immigrants out they have contributed to a Business Conditions and Central America which are generating waves and waves of refugees you know the same time they want to blame trump for not having the right or left rather a humane attitude a bit of both major parties are really implicated in this in this border disaster which is reaching truly. Unprecedented proportions theres an example hypocrisy on this issue. The African National congress has returned to power in south africa berts with every deuced majority and what is its worst result since taking office 25 years ago it confirms the a. N. C. Took 58 percent of the vote from wednesdays general election the party has ruled in south africa since the countrys 1st free election back in 1904 and the victory means president Cyril Ramaphosa will have another 5 years to appease those who have accused him of failing to address the issues in the country like corruption the Main Opposition Party the Democratic Alliance picked up 21 percent of the vote while the leftist Economic Freedom fighters took 11 percent double what they received 5 years ago in the last election now heres a look at some of the reasons voters may have turned on the a. N. C. Failing to combat high employment which currently stands at 27 percent is one issue in the spotlight theres also serious concern over theft or murder rates which are on the rise land reform has triggered debates with one of farmers holding the vast majority of private farmland we were joined by south africa based political analyst howard felt men who told us corruption is the main factor in the a. N. C. Losing support. The a. N. C. Has been taught a little bit of a listen the last round about 19 seats which obviously will impact on them and one of the main reasons one of the main reasons for that is the the level of corruption so what were seeing is that there has been a movement on both sides towards the the more right of center and the more left of center being the if and the and the freedom front really for me that Julius Malema is not calling for white people to be killed yet do see racial tension existing you do see i work a lot in corporates you use it most companies are trying to move away from any racially based issues theres nothing obviously official but but there is a subtle form of racism that does exist in the environment and we have to work very very hard South Africans have to work very very hard to get beyond where we were it hasnt been that some pull and one of the theories i have is that we were so quick South Africans really wanted to move forward on a nonracial basis but sometimes we dont have those difficult and comfortable and pleasant conversations that we should have head for that reason it still exists. With the Parliament Elections fast approaching debate has broken out in the union over the process that determines who takes the top job at the blokes executive branch has our europe correspondent peter oliver. Reform versus the status quo when it comes to who will be taking the European Commissions top job next under the Current System called spits in candidate or leave candidates that job goes to the preferred choice of the Parliamentary Group that takes the most seats in the Upcoming European parliamentary elections if we have a look at the most recent polling what this means is this well the a p ps munford verba is the heir repair and to john claude young in all but name. Not so fast says the money will. Do the things we did get it out that you cannot now artistically produce no i have been clear from the beginning on this subject so i dont think this is the right approach in fact this was something of a theme for mr throughout this weeks e. U. Summit in remain yes he wants to see a change to the Current System. If we should in any case avoid agreeing on the least good candidate which can happen in certain situations we must opt for the best possible candidate in order to ensure a strong european project it will be the problem is while the french president has the backing of dutch Prime Minister mark rita and others there are those leaders in the e. U. That think the Current System works just fine thank you very much because i believe the process of electing lead candidates should be accepted by the people. German chancellor Angela Merkel has also given her blessing to manfred for the e. U. Commission president however its not known exactly how cold cream that is should a better option come on the table list of better though well hes already talking hes got the job so the future European Commission on the my leadership well insist the principle of sort of rule of law a solution is going to have to be i undoubtedly a european summit which will take place in june after all of entry elections to which time because its. Not just the e. U. Commission job that needs to find a successor soon they also have to find replacements for European Council president donald tusk and chief of the European Central Bank Mario Draghi by the end of this year earlier this year the money said he wanted to see a new written a song take place in europe well if he can reform the way directly elected positions are filled in the e. U. Institutions well the us may be more akin to a revolution peter oliver altie early. Still to count Cambridge University in the u. K. Says its facing some hairy issues in getting students through the door was how you why among other stories off that plane. Its a church our economy theres teacher for the world that unless i just in america sound if i go into a Big Bank Bank of america citibank Wells Fargo Bank and i say i want to borrow a 100 1000. 00 and i want you to charge me is 0 percent Interest Rate on that and then i want to deposit that 100000. 00 at your bank and i want you to pay me 5 percent and i want to therefore collect all that income i get a tax free ok can i do that now but it back to do that. We have a situation that is very new and thats why. Its like a 3 legged stool there were 2 people who were in the morning and there was no go to school or go to do so the boy it was through to the right of to do. Because of the as the medical and good to be widespread simplicity is good clue to people today. In many diseases because you just would you coolly broke up with. Welcome back ok last years have broken out in several french thirtys between yellow vests protesters and police in what is the 26th consecutive week of demonstrations across the country. I. Think it. Was a little bit cynical because god. Thank you. Thank you thank you rally in paris this saturday got caught in the rain in many could be seen carrying on braless the governments days fewer than 20000 people turned out across the country which would make this weekends the weve kissed turnout since the beginning of the movement protest organizers however claim over 37000. 00 took part. Several lawmakers have been injured and one hospitalized after hong kongs Legislative Assembly descended into chaos but a brawl was triggered by a meeting on plans changes to the islands extradition policy. Was thinking. The proposal was announced earlier this year by the regions probating leader it comes after a case involving a man from hong kong who allegedly killed his pregnant wife while on vacation in taiwan coming home on card to extradite people to jurisdictions with which it has no agreement critics believe suspects could be sent to Mainland China which has free speech advocates concerned parties however say the changes needed to ensure justice. There are many things which might deter students from applying to top universities the expense of strong competition or fear of failure but britains Cambridge University has uncovered another a lack of decent local pestilence weve been doing some quite Detailed Research particularly with black students particularly in london looking at obstacles to applying to cambridge and thinking about cambridge a number 3 on the list was hairdressers its unexpected but we need to look at applying to cambridge from their eyes for those students this is their concern the internationally Renowned Institution has also been canvassed in current students as part of efforts to encourage more applicants for more diverse backgrounds in 2017 only 2 percent of cambridge is intake of black or ethnic origin or to terence were a fear of student debt and not fitting in although the undergraduates featured in the universitys promo video say they found college life more diverse than they expected. I think i realize what my original question came it was but thats a stereotype i see when i came here i found there are spaces from out what park under from our very sort of us coming to cambridge ive met so many different people and people who look like me but people who. We heard from lee jasper full make qualities advisor to the marrow of london these days the talk of hairdressers is just it is a diversion from the relay shoes facing the university there are too many white men running the show at Cambridge University and from a particular class a particular culture the elite of British Society and they maintain within them an academic culture that is profoundly classical. And whose culture in terms of the sex press values. Inimical really to black students who want to critically engage with academia to study issues of philosophy history and others you go to a black professors you could have a curriculum that reflects a multicultural britain and moreover youve really got leadership from the very top of the university that demonstrates its commitment to race equality and unless cambridge really takes the issue seriously then they will forever focus on. Dresses and steel pan and samosa nights to cure their problems suffering from a lack of peoples a small school in rural france has taken a somewhat bizarre measure to stay fairly open turning to it flush postures to make up the numbers. But i thought it was a symbolic protests organized by the parents of the students with a certain amount of humor the action showed that since the School District is only interested in numbers we symbolically enrolled sheep since our children are being treated like rabbits. To all good so we the teachers regret the reduction of the number of classes to go since we will need to have more students in each class next year the initiative does not come from the teaches but from the parents and this action made us smile if anything. By september 1st we will definitely have one class closed it will be difficult to survive this means that the rest of the classes are going to be overstretched all those other world headlines for a base our way back in 30 minutes with the latest for the. What is it call and. The coin is magic internet a new type of digital currency. Digital scarcity chancellor on the brink of 2nd for a bank thats called that got us a lot for a reason to coin a civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial death any its just a new way of coming to consensus its a game changer in the Human History of this columbus discovering the new world this Paradigm Shifting Technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing on to the backs of stacy. During the Great Depression which are old enough to remember there was most of my family were employed. There wasnt it was bed much worse objective listen. But there was an expectation that things were going to get better. There was a real sense of hope.

Crazy but investors you know it did pop by what was that 176 percent on its own printing and ellens i. P. O. And this is beyond crazy. Me that theyre they have a vast herds of unicorn that they raise on the wild plains of north dakota and then they harvest those unicorns and they packaged them into patties and theyre sold as beyond meat you know and of course its worth 4000000000. 00 because in an era fake news and fake money why not have fake make so fake has become the new real and real has become too expensive no 1. 00 can afford meat Going Forward i mean the idea of getting a poor house steak will cost 500000. 00 and only Warren Buffett will be there smith and wollensky every year having lunch with a billionaire eating a real meat that was taken from a cow that will be 500000. 00 meanwhile and also be eating bug incrusted bug dogs or bug meat and you know harvested from the locusts that are invading our daily lives in a biblical nightmares and then frying that up as an upside of having uniform basic locust meat baddies out there be Bernie Sanders and nancy pelosi get everyone is going to get and andrew yang universal basic yak may not even the acme as the acme you are to me no nick.
