Have very Young Children and let the children decide when theyre old enough maybe after the great spirit is finished with are they trying to. Address climate. Change q whats your to international with you tonight welcome to the program. Has ordered an analysis of the threat posed by a new u. S. Missile weapon was recently tested just after washington pulled out of a key arms control treaty with moscow the russian president also ordered a symmetrical response to the weapon. Has the story. There you have a and all the latest developments in statements are in essence the new reality of the World Without the intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty how murder by washington and moscow decades ago and eventually torn apart after an announcement by the us President Donald Trump at the end of last year earlier this week the u. S. State department announced that the us successfully tested a new Cruise Missile that was previously outlawed by the terms of the i. N. F. Treaty plus even before that the u. S. Secretary of defense revealed that america was working on the deployment of new missiles to the asia pacific and the head of the pentagon made it clear that he wants that to happen asap now this friday the russian president as a result of that got together with the most senior russian officials that are in charge of security in this country and now hes saying that the american tests are nothing but a clear indication that washington pulled out of the treaty now because moscow was violating something russia believes that this was a well calculated plan to get their hands on tied the americans orchestrated a Propaganda Campaign alleging violations by russia. Is now clear this was just a smokescreen to hide washingtons own breaches of the treaty and its intention to leave it this all leaves 0 doubts about americas real intentions havent got rid of the existing limits its now free to deploy previously forbid missiles anywhere in the world top american politicians say that you systems could be deployed 1st in the Asia Pacific Region but this affects our interests as well because it is situated near our borders over the last few months we kept hearing warnings from the russian capital that if here they realize that washington is rushing to develop or deploy new missiles now that they dont have to abide by the terms of the agreement moscow will do exact. The same and on friday mr putin made it clear that the russian take on this wont change and that moscow was ready to take all the necessary steps presentable and then you leave as you know weve never wanted and still dont want to get into an arms race which is expensive and destructive for a countrys economy all the latest weapons that weve been developing were response to americas unilateral pullout from the 2003 antiballistic missile treaty we were forced to maintain the security of our people and our country we are doing the same now and no doubt well keep on doing this in the future so once again the message from the russian government is they dont want to be dragged into this game but they are being forced to do it and the response from them will come quickly of the situation surrounding the collapse of the and after it was addressed that the u. N. Security council where tensions flared russia and china called for Global Action to prevent a new arms race and the rival powers blamed each other for the ongoing escalation. If you do realize that because of the u. S. Ambitions we are one step away from an arms race that cannot be controlled or regulated in any way the United States will not remain a party to a treaty that is deliberately violated by russia that with this depended only on us we would not reach this dangerous situation the United States is taking the necessary steps to address the threat posed by intermediate range Missile Forces and being deployed in ever larger numbers by russia and china are good if you but what about you are you going to avoid responsibility for what is happening in the future generations forgive you for this russias present actions are in line with a pattern of aggression that represents a clear threat to International Peace and security the Russian Federation has the sole responsibility for the reason demise of the reading because it will be my judgment do you not understand that by your responses to the americans you are returning the historical situation when missiles will target european cities from different sites the us is looking into different sorts of research into hypersonic widely calls that could be destabilizing because they can cross Decision Making already youre getting. New technology and the big dangerous and risky question is is nobody know what this will mean in the future and what this will mean for future stability and what we really need is a dialogue between the u. S. And russia as a starting person to bring the 2 sides back together because it is in everybodys mutual interests to minimize the risk of a nuclear war i think whats important to realize is that with arms control treaties that put restraints on countries where heading into dangerous and uncharted territory are on becomes a severe possibility of. Conservative activists and the u. S. Are celebrating after a court agreed to reconsider a set of a ship case against Facebook Google twitter and apple is bringing that also to carry the tech charts on. Via son of suppressing content from the conservative end of the political spectrum a controversial right wing activist the law is leading the case with a group called freedom watch shes previously been banned from all kinds of Online Platforms from twitter and facebook to. The lawsuit also alleges the 4 tech giants violated the 1st amendment and us and the monopoly laws have of course been a growing number of leaks and testimonies from those who work for big sec that allege and to conservative bias even our blacklist where is someone right shows that there are conservative theyll be blacklisted between Different Companies and different teams. That really need to change i see google executives go to congress and say that its not going to be good it is not political and im just so sure thats not true theyre telling people that oh they dont they dont have any blacklist this is all you know they dont have any political ideology they dont have any political bias but its really clear that they do the current legal consensus is that tech giants are allowed to moderate the content which appears on their sites or through their apps they have denied any censorship. Do you discriminate more on philosophy like anti conservative versus pro liberal no or policies in our rooms dont take a look consideration any affiliation for speed were viewpoint there is absolutely no directive in any of the changes that we make to have a bias in anything that we do we use a robust methodology to reflect what is being said about any given topic at any particular time and we try to do it objective lee using a set of rubrics certainly if this happened to her this is happened to a lot of people and its high time that the big tech giants were challenge to hunt this theres a confusion i think because americans love free speech and we love private property so we love for example when its a company and we say well that company has a right to do anything it wants to but there comes a point where its almost like a public utility because they have such a monopoly on communication in general especially in terms of social media so some of these giants that really do have control. Theyve changed the game you can only come to one conclusion when it seems to only happen against conservatives in general and and i think that this flies in the face of of our free speech and you know that for most of us in america we could agree that our 1st amendment speech right is critical to everything that is freedom and most of us would wish that some of these tech giants would go along with that. In australia a former defense lawyer faces jail over the leak of controversial afghan files appeared in the Supremes Court on thursday for preliminary hearings David Mcbride released classified material in 2017 alleging australian troops committed war crimes in afghanistan was charged with breaching the countrys defense act and is expected to face trial next year he claims it was his duty to the australian people to make the documents public. Ive got a few tricks up my sleeve its worth having a go i might fail but ill be happy in jail if ive tried among the incidents reported in a socalled afghan files where the killing of a civilian man and his son during a raid where it was a lead they were shot by mistake in another case an afghan detainee was shot dead while he was alone with an australian soldier whistleblower claimed that before leaking information to the media he tried to bring it to the attention of officials but his efforts were in vain were joined live now by former cia officer i must follow John Kiriakou thanks for joining us secretary on today david macwrite is facing trial now over the leak of those documents that obviously shed light on the australian on these actions do you think her jail sentence is almost certain here. Unfortunately i think it probably is almost certain and you know this is the real shame because its so typical its so common in places like the United States the u. K. Australia really the 5 eyes countries to attack the whistleblower rather than to address the crime and to punish those who committed the crime what were talking about here in this case really is war crimes or crimes against humanity but you dont hear journalists talking about prosecuting those crimes do you believe now that those incidents have come to public attention do you think the soldiers mentioned in those files are going to be investigated. I would hope so but if the United States is any example no i think that they probably wont be investigated and then again this is this is common we see this in the United States all the time rather than prosecuting or even investigating those who have allegedly carried out these terrible war crimes or crimes against humanity the only people that are investigated are the whistleblowers who made the information public. And he of course claim that before illegal and information to the media he tried to bring it to the attention of officials that didnt go anywhere why do you think they turned a broad to his appeals oh thats another very common that very typical event in cases like this you know most of the time people dont want to get involved they dont want to they dont want to rock the boat here in the United States were always taught in the Intelligence Community in the Defense Community to go through the chain of command but when its your chain of command its covering up the crime theres really nowhere else to go except through the media and speaking of the media the they a. B. C. Outlet which publish those meet documents is also facing pressure what does that say about you know the situation with media freedoms in australia yeah weve seen the same thing here in the United States where you have Law Enforcement actually carrying out raids on media headquarters and on the homes of the executives in that me in that media structure and also on the homes of journalists weve seen it in the u. K. With their official secrets act we see it here in the United States in spades with the upcoming trial of Julian Assange im afraid that this is the future and and its a dark one but what of course says those afghan files that he leaked are not National Security he described them as as nationally embarrassing how do you go straight in on me end up in the situation and what is that balance between protecting National Security protecting the safety of perhaps agents work you know abroad and cetera and bringing abuses and breaking the law to the public eye. There actually is a Legal Definition of whistle blowing and that is bringing to light any evidence of waste fraud abuse illegality or threats to the Public Health or Public Safety there ought to be pardon fast whistleblower Protection Laws there are in many countries there is not in in australia and here in the United States there is not where it comes to intelligence and and Defense Affairs but there really need to be Legal Protections so people can can go confidently to their supervisors or to their legislature or even to the media to report crimes in this case i think that that the australian soldiers involved were probably im not even sure how to say it but sucked into the same kind of of wartime situation that so Many Americans have been sucked into you think that you can get away with things you think that they are crimes and eventually theres going to be a whistleblower you know theres theres an old saying that the truth always comes out and i think that that is the case it was the case here its been the case in the United States whether its cia or n. S. A. Or f. B. I. The truth always comes out and so if you dont want trouble just do the right thing you mentioned a system for protecting whistleblowers and having you know protections in place for people that want to uncover violations how close are we to having some system not met in europe in australia in the in the United States. Well the European Union last april passed a new whistleblower protection law but it protects specifically civilian whistleblowers not those associated with defense or intelligence so if youre a whistleblower lets say in the Banking Sector or in the Agriculture Sector youre protected and your revelations will be protected but we have the United States and the u. K. And australia and other major powers just adamantly refusing to protect National Security whistleblowers theres just no indication that these are going to get better in the near future all right thanks for that former cia officer and whistle blower John Kiriakou thanks for your time today here on r. T. If you. Have german captain of a migrant rescue boat in the mediterranean has snubbed a Bravery Award from from 3 accuses paris of hypocrisy given its treatment of refugees we do not need authorities deciding about who is a hero and who is illegal at the same time your police is stealing blankets from people that youre forced to live in the streets while the rate protests and criminal ice people that are standing up for rights of migrants and Asylum Seekers well in 2017 peer clamp spoked was seized by italian authorities in the point of lampedusa which rescued with rescued migrants on board she was charged with assisting illegal immigration could face up to 20 years in jail the paris Mayors Office has reacted to her criticisms of the french or thora hes inviting her to the city to see how migrants already treated there we are waiting for you in paris to show you the different ways we are ensuring a dignified reception for migrants despite the tensions that exist on the subject with the state youll fight is ours or while the french capital is at odds with the federal government over margarets france is also wrangling over the issue with other e. U. Members of the 2 main ski digs deeper into the story. Parish has consistently lobbied for better or worse that consent is for migrants while the city was actually the 1st to open a temporary Reception Center which some 13000 migrants said to have passed through and its invested 40000 viewers in a restaurant to feed my kids if the paris mess says they would have done more but for the french government i do not understand why the government is allowing an indignity and kiryas on the capitals doorstep between 700 and the 1200 migrants are sleeping rough in the streets in makeshift camps under bridges on roadsides where theyre forced to leave inhumane conditions and does she have a point that the french state has repeatedly cleared of migrant camps in paris but when one is dismantled sure enough another soon replaces it michaels government has also been criticized for a controversial asylum and immigration bill in a bid to limit new arrivals that law double to 90 days the time in which Illegal Immigrants could be detained it shortened deadlines for asylum applications and made illegal crossing of borders as in offense with a jail time of up to a year but these funds really in a position to sort out the problem itself its been trying with germany to find consensus across the entire you for a solution to the crisis on that level brussels is slamming italy and Eastern European countries for shutting their doors to migrants very people critical where the mayor of paris is doing i dont know what went into the mind. Of mine because you see of course they dont welcome you. Here and you can see the people sleepi
