And billionaire Michael Bloomberg is set to take the stage and the Democratic Party president ial Election Debate for the 1st time i made chris is im from a main rival that has affected lean buying the vote. Youre watching our to International Coming to you live from the russian capital where its just turned 10 am up to the program. Australian m. P. s have called on the u. K. Government to stop Julian Assange has extradition to the us they visited the Australian Citizen and the london prison where hes being held head of an extradition hearing one of the lawmakers George Christensen told us about the wiki leaks founder is deteriorating condition. Spike in this wake with professor mills mels of the u. N. Special repertory on torture. Come to the opinion along with a number of medical experts that Julian Assange was exhibiting the symptoms of psychological torture visited Julian Assange. And are going to side theres nothing that i saw or that actually. Discredited what those doctors and what mills melzer said he is exhibiting signs of disorientation. He did tell us about being kept in severe isolation and ongoing loss a large negative sign technically within belmarsh prison the conditions of the subject to apparently when you kept by yourself for 20 to 22 as a guy with that minimal human contact youre effectively oss alloted so all of that has led to i guess at the plated state of health for julian a songe and i dont think its fair atoll to extradite an Australian Citizen. At of one foreign country into another foreign country to face charges for what for reporting on the facts. That comes as doctors around the world also condemned the u. K. s handling of the case warning a songe is being subjected to psychological torture in jail while the 100. 00 medics signed a joint letter urging authorities to take action they also called on the Australian Government to intervene to protect its citizens now before such letter from doctors. Meanwhile the Guardian Newspaper has published a feature article on plans to tackle media repression penned by britains special envoy on press freedom amar clooney how one key detail has been left out clooney has links to join a songe arguably the most high profile media repression case in the world today clooney proposed to sanction all those who take part in jailing journalists for their work including ministers and prosecutors but says nothing about the fact that no such action is being prepared for the treatment of the we can expand or the article did not even mention that clooney was actually a saunders lawyer in the 2015 swedish extradition proceedings against him many have been angered by the guardians convenient mission. Congratulations are in order to the guardians Patrick Wintour whos managed to write a whole article on global media suppression without mentioning the phrase Julian Assange the Foreign Office will no doubt continue to be delighted the u. K. Currently has Julian Assange has looked up at the behest of the us because he exposed war crimes the guardian publishes an article on press freedom failing to mention this unbelievably and unforgivably no mention of julian a songe journalist and broadcaster neil clark believes the a songe case is too shameful for the u. K. Government to bring up to the journalist apparently apparently not 100 percent sure but apparently didnt see the need to actually brace the is the case of the most famous persecuted journalist in this interview about the persecution of this massive elephant in the room its quite extraordinary how anybody could write an article about the persecution of journalists without mentioning. A sound for the establishment this whole case now is a big embarrassment. If you had a song its either someone who could be attacked or to be ignored surprised to be ignored and waved good talking about it this context press persecution. Is a nonperson you know journalist being persecuted oh lets talk about a cup trees official any countries that thats fine but not what weve actually got the guy just a few blocks away down the road with us back at the jail for doing journalism. On a trip to brussels the us house of representatives speaker has warned against while way and see palosi insist the Chinese Corporation is a major threat to security and should be barred from developing 5 g. Telecom networks in europe but palosi mention nothing about the far more wide scale and proving Us Global Surveillance Network are just come up and explains. Now that the impeachment debacle is all wrapped up guess whos going to europe in order to promote one of the trumpet ministrations key policies its the speech ripper herself nancy pelosi the speaker of the u. S. House of representatives is urging European Countries to drop plans to use while away as their 5 g. Carrier for the benefit of a few corporations you cannot sell the privacy of the people of your country down the river as i said before its like having the state police write the Chinese State police right in your pocket you see nancy pelosi just cares about your privacy awed that shes one of what Edward Snowden called the gang of 8 key figures that are overseeing surveillance in the United States this far and snowden he did as you know in the in the in disagreement with you he did violate the law in terms. Of releasing those documents we dont know i understand and i understand odd timing as well its just been revealed that the cia was the secret owner of a Swiss Company that was offering people encrypt peoples privacy was compromised because the cia had a backdoor what the u. S. Government speculates that china might be doing they have been caught doing themselves while the e. U. Might be more apt to listen to a top democrat then to the donald it seems they still arent buying nancys song and dance her euro 2 were is a flop. While he will be continuing on with the beaks good like he believes he said so in the district of texas i see so we decided to ask people what they think of this supposed danger of china spying on them are they more afraid of china spying on them or the american probably us and im not so much worried about. China im worried about anybody had to having access to our data to be more. Ready to spy on you to the chinese it could come from anywhere in the world u. S. You can you would if i guess just the u. S. Given say the alignment of interests that program for the u. S. Probably you know well the u. S. As far as im concerned. Can go to hell but i dont know trump along with them its a common pattern of Human BehaviorSigmund Freud called it projection nothing drives us crazy or thinking that someone else might be doing that naughty thing that we know we are doing ourselves. Are to see new york. Arties boom bust spoke to wall way usa is and a party who notes the u. S. Has been spying on the world for years not least one way itself you can watch the full interview on r. T. Dot com but heres a quick preview. It was interesting the u. S. Government says that the declassified the information so we welcome the opportunity to see what the evidence is but we really have to look at this in the broader context of the ongoing geo political dynamic between the u. S. And china the u. S. Has some major issues with china and right now the u. S. Wants to hurt china so badly that theyre going to hurt america in trying to her way and thats really a shame you look back some years ago when i brought snowden revealed information about the u. S. Program prism and about the 5 Year Campaign of the u. S. Government to spy on operation shop giant where they monitored all while why not work for 5 years and could not find any Improper Communications and in the Prism Program they found that the u. S. Government used for example cisco equipment to spy around the world most recently the Washington Post crypto a. G. D. A Swiss Company that turned out is controlled by the cia so theyve been monitoring encrypted communications of all the countries in the world except for china and russia so the fact is it is important to recognize the role of the equipment vendors and the telecom and mobile operators there is a lawful backdoor by the telecom the mobile operators that is triggered by lawful action by governments such as the u. S. Government or china government we dont have that access we dont control that data. U. S. President ial candidate Michael Bloomberg will sell his media empire if he becomes president that announcement came ahead of the latest round of democratic debates being held on wednesday in las vegas well for the 1st time face rivals who criticize the billionaires and massive spending on campaign ads its estimated bloomberg has splashed out more than 400000000. 00 on Television Radio and online ads thats 10 times more than Current Party front runner Bernie Sanders donald trump for example spent around 325000000 on his whole 2016 campaign my colleague and her former discussed voters views on Bloomberg Campaign legal analyst jennifer and a master at libertarian president ial candidate arvind bora and political analyst dakota lily. Dakota if i could start with you. Says that bloomberg is buying is that a fair comment i do think its a fair comment even if you look at the rules that the d. N. C. Has instituted this is a complete change of what theyve done so far this complete you know this late runners coming into their Campaign Spending 400000000. 00 with perhaps hes spending so much money and so that he can make up for the fact that he doesnt have any real grassroots support but i think it definitely amounts to vote buying its not so problematic that bloomberg of spending money on his own campaign the bigger problem is the d. N. C. What rules is the Democratic National committee Democratic National committee making with superdelegates and with Everything Else because the way the d. N. C. Seems to be operating is that youre allowed to run for president play if you have the money or if we at least approve of you its not against bloomberg its not its not his fault that hes need to spend this kind of money because thats the way campaigns are the Bloomberg Campaigns views would be massively unpopular with a lot of the Democratic Base and a lot of the American People and by fixating on this sort of minor nonissue i mean in politics you ought to spend as much of your own money as you want to by trying to get people to fixate on this nonissue the Bloomberg Campaign is affectively distracting america from the positions that bloomberg holds that are at odds with the majority of both the Democratic Base and the American People this is a very unpopular person with very unpopular opinions according to the Democratic Party base and also the general population hes polling you know i havent seen one poll where hes polling above 5 percent this is really showing the corruption of the d. N. C. What there is nothing illegal about what hes doing but i think really thats part of a larger indictment of the american political system more than anything else as well as the rules of the d. N. C. As has been stated that this is an indictment that was a perfect description of the american political system of course you can look at the Republican Party a lot of republican candidates had a. A lot of money back in 2016 and yes donald trump spent his own he was not favored to when he was not going to when Hillary Clinton had tons of funding between hollywood between lots and lots of billionaire billionaires so the American People could still vote but that also raises the question when there are lots of different candidates within one party like were seeing with the d. N. C. And i think the American People deserve to see who the candidates are and what their actual viewpoints are and how they stand on things democrats and republicans they control the president ial debates they change the the commission on president ial big debates has changed the debate threshold they do everything they can to keep their parties and independents out of the debates and you can see this in the way that they mistreat any candidate that opposes a massive military overage so theyve shut out sanders gathered all the 3rd Party Candidates to oppose it the United States is definitely an oligarchy and i think that most of the people the United States know this a lot of these people who voted for obama and that are voting for trump but both of these people received plenty of money from fossil fuel companies from Banking Institutions from Financial Institutions from all these different entities but in a true oligarchy not much has been done about it. British Environmental Activist GroupExtinction Rebellion has vandalized the lawn outside Cambridge University college 3 activists have been arrested with others in custody arties no dear to their reports. Digging up the lawn of a world renowned college stopping traffic and a whole week of protests is this a way to gain support this is normally one of the busiest roads right here in the center of cambridge but as you can see its pretty quiet today apart from the music playing behind me a mask because Extinction Rebellion have blockaded this road but what do the locals think about this is just fine it is an absolute basis and its not what so all theyre doing is a native people theyre not getting anybody on their side of this they just annoy people fundraiser Trinity College is ties with fossil fuel Companies Investments of around 9000000 pounds or whats driving the anger of the activists Trinity College has invested 9100000 pounds in oil and Gas Companies the most of any of the 45 oxbridge colleges they are complicit in the climate and ecological crisis Trinity College responded with this the college respects the rights of free speech and nonviolent protest but draws the line in criminal damage and is liaison with the police and the police have had to control the uproar. The right to peaceful protest wish police have a duty to facilitate needs to be balanced against the other responsibilities of the police to promote Public Safety maintain public order prevent crime and protect the rights of others but how has the actions of the group encourage the poor is this the moment where Extinction Rebellion muses sympathy very laudable return troops from. The really inconvenient. Books they dont want they want to do right therefore they should crack up and go on to the us over half of it after coming here to cambridge today its clear that there is a them and us situation between the protesters and locals a full week of disruption and rebellion in the rich altie.
