Checks we discussed the background. On the life. Of the program 1st for you a correspondent with the america had her twitter account temporarily suspended with the social network only agreeing to lift the blog after she removed a video of alleged u. S. War crimes which she tweeted now were about to show you parts of that footage so please people that you might find it disturbing it was 1st released by wiki leaks in 2010 this once classified u. S. Military video appears to show the indiscriminate shooting of over a dozen civilians in a baghdad suburb from an american helicopter among those killed the 2 employees of the Reuters News Agency wiki leaks said it had managed to obtain a video from a number of whistleblowers. What she was told by twitter. So i was simply given a notice in which is that i was locked out of my account and the only way to get back into my account was to take down that tweet without video and now they said that they were doing this because i violated their graphic content policy essentially because in that video you were watching civilians and journalists lose their lives and the context that they give behind that is to say that for the families of those victims that would be hard to watch that would be hard for that footage to be out there and to that extent theyre correct about that i mean this is disturbing footage this is graphic and yet at the same time its also even more disturbing for those families to know that even though that footage has been out there the attackers the murderers who are responsible still have not been brought to justice and so i wanted to put that video out there to service their own minder even though it has been a live in gears since this footage was released those pilots those u. S. Soldiers you see in that video who are literally murdering citizens civilians and journalists in broad daylight has no consequences for those actions over the years the video that twitter claims breaks its rules has been posted by many of the users but its hope post journalist to get the system Michael Blevins them insists the graphic the footage still needs to be brought to the publics attention. Something that is a reminder of just what us orange has accomplished because here in the United States our major media organizations like say c. N. N. Or fox news they dont show you for it its like that they dont show you how horrific it is a when the u. S. Military commit these terrible war crimes in other countries they dont tell you what is actually going on with this socalled war on terrorism and yet its People Like Us on to have taken the steps to put that information out there to bring the actual footage to light to show the Public Public that and now at the same time you see the u. S. Government going through promote. By even talking a saw and going after him trying to get his head on a platter moralize as a notice to anyone else who may try to do the same who may try to bring other footage to life i think that what were seeing is. Increasing moves on the part of these digital corporations and we know nothing about them theyre completely opaque they know everything about us as forms of censorship for the ruling elite in particular the establishment elites in the republican in the Democratic Party who are blocking their critics on the left or the right you have to remember that during the Obama Administration and Barack ObamasVice President was of course joe biden expanded the targeted assassinations through militarized drone drones and theres complete continuity between republican and democratic administrations on this issue which is why the biden ministration has supported the appeal in london to get julian a songe extradited to the United States. A former u. S. Intelligence analyst faces up to 10 years in prison for blowing the whistle on washingtons talk of the Drone Assassination Program daniel hale pleaded guilty to transmitting and retaining National Defense information his case comes amid mass disclosure of similar crimes allegedly perpetrated by the u. S. I have to tell you when he called me a few hours ago he was surprisingly upbeat and optimistic and he he remarked about how much press this issue has been getting since he decided to plead guilty so in the end i think that he thinks that this is been worth it that americans know more about the Drone Program now than 8 they did 6 months ago or a year ago and even though hes likely going to go to prison it was worth it the u. S. Is flying these drones or at least it was until recently that were used ostensibly to kill terrorists or would be terrorists but in reality to kill anybody who might resemble a terrorist and that included women children the elderly and anybody else who happened to be on the ground i believe that were were a nation of laws and we have to abide by those laws whether we like them or not if we dont like them we should change them go through the process and change them if congress has not declared war on a country we dont have a right to attack it we just cant decide that we dont like the politics of whoever happens to be in charge in a place like yemen or pakistan or afghanistan and then launch drone strikes against them its a violation of international law. The data which gave to the online news site the intercept back in 2014 was made available to the public now hes accused of disclosing classified intelligence information his supporters say these kind of exposures are necessary for a strong society. Using the espionage act in this way to prosecute journalists sources and spies chills newsgathering and discourages sources from coming forward with information in the Public Interest particularly when it relates to National Security where government secrecy is at its height these documents detail the secret unaccountable process for targeting and killing people around the world including u. S. Citizens through drone strikes there are vital public importance and activities related to their disclosure is protected by the 1st amendment 2 years ago who was arrested and charged with violating the espionage act and related offenses when joe biden came to power the public anticipated changes in the Drone Program but now there are reports he aims to boost the exports of amount of weapons to countries including those with poor human rights record of former cia analyst john kerry aka who you heard from earlier told us that the terms of the espionage act leave hale with little hope. This is the really the worst part of the of the espionage act this is the reason why ed snowden cant come home this is the reason why i couldnt go to trial this is the reason why jeffrey sterling the other cia whistleblower was convicted because there is no affirmative defense we are prohibited by law from going into court and saying i did it but i did it for this reason and in in the case of daniel hale this was a war crime he did it because he was exposing a war crime hes not allowed to say that and so he really doesnt have any chance of acquittal the best thing to do for daniel as it was for me as it was for so many others here charged under the espionage act is to take a deal and to hope for the lightest possible sentence the decision that was made early on even before joe biden was inaugurated to pursue the appeal against julian his son it was that decision that made it clear that joe biden was going to pursue National Security leaks just like barack obama did and just like donald trump did after him and you can see a full interview with john kerry all caught on the latest edition of watching the hawks which is online now at all tito. The connection between the astra zeneca covert vaccine and blood clots doesnt exist so says a senior official from the European Medicines Agency but its cause is yet to be defined meantime the agency itself isnt rushing to link the 2 shot a tube and explained. Well this fear of the confusion. Of the safety over astra zeneca 1st of all we had this indictment from an e m a european medicines agencies top official one of the top officials saying that in his opinion there was a link in association between the astra zeneca job and the rare form of blood clotting this is blood clotting in the brain mary a cover larry made accusations in an interview with an italian newspaper and those accusations have now gone the viral around the world this is what he had to say were trying to get the precise picture of what is happening to define in detail the syndrome due to the vaccine in my opinion we can now say it is the reason association with the vaccine what causes this reaction however we still do not know now despite that being his opinion he said that the risk benefit ratio was still on the side of astra zeneca and he suggested that any change in advice on how that job is used would be in regards to age groups rather than anything else thats already something thats taken place here with france germany and norway where astra zeneca now isnt being given to young age groups however a within hours of this interview came out and said itself in a very brief statement that despite that claim it is not yet itself reached a conclusion as to whether there is an association between astra zeneca and these incredibly rare blood clots and it is continuing of course to monitor the situation in regards to that so it doesnt appear as if the invoice is going to change from the d. M. A direct plea today but these need to top official from the board the are likely to just heighten the concerns that there are about the job already there are complaints is. Manslaughter case. In france after a 38 year old social Worker Health worker received one dose of astra zeneca and then died less than 2 weeks later a rare type of blood clotting so theyre all about this job and if youre somebody whos just trying to astra zeneca new or in one of these Younger Age Group categories do you to have your vaccine in the next few days and this really now must be a worry because once again the safety of this vaccine in question now if i say if the official here may advice change in the next few days or the next few weeks that might also pose questions with people wondering whether they can trust the safety of whats being approved by the way and it will raise. Questions about the process it has undertaken when it came to approving vaccines like astra zeneca. While the World Health Organization says theres no link so far between astra zeneca blood clots highlighting the positive benefit Risk Assessment of the vaccine whats happened is that there are a number of committees right now and regulatory agencies and regulatory authorities looking at data and new data is coming every day and assessing the data so there is no link for the moment between the vaccine and the throne political. Trial of the astra zeneca job on children in britain has also been put on hold while the u. K. s medical regulator makes its own checks we have people in london if theyre concerned about the vaccines potential link to blood clot. I had my 1st box in on the good book problem moms not getting it because she saw this some Health Condition shes not getting it simply because of the little clots and we do actually know someone whos had a stroke since get in the vaccines im not all of them are that you know because they love you for has been vaccinated there ok this probably even more side effects that we dont even know about this is just one thing that we can now they have no idea what this can cause i guess the fear is a bit bigger dont do you actual problem weve got a Good Public Health system that keep an eye on these things and obviously theyll be looking at the latest research but while the advice to still take the vaccine i would still take the vaccine at the National Health campaign and i only burn it believes the e. U. Regulators should act immediately to not put lives at risk. I think it would have been very useful to treat this is very seriously because were dealing with the lives of people so i think from the moment there was any doubt they should have acted very quickly on that and of people are very worried and they obviously prefer him to go for a different type of rats in a nation but yet the general feedback that im receiving is that people are unsure on what to do because theres so many different complete guidance is given out so its very difficult for people members of the public to make their mind up definitely need some confirmation of the risk and we need to know how serious and how dangerous is the vaccine if it is dangerous or if its not what we need. Rather than just allowing people to be getting pigs and just allowed to be given these facts in 1000 without that assurance and reassurance i definitely hope that they learn from this and they start listening to peoples feedback and concerns you know what if they can reassure us entirely then i guess it will be a different thing so i filmy it be wanted to get the sure its from them because recent not long ago they said that there was no connection with blood cause and then today surprisingly weve been that weve learned that they could be or maybe a connection with this red type of brain. And thats the issue and thats the concern because always the we just need to get beyond says and be able to make informed decisions about which friend of vaccination to youve. Said ill stay on the way italian business is pushed to the brink by knock down things tempers fray and rubber atomic story after the break. A lot of people speculate why theyre not god exists. Ill tell you one thing that i can guarantee does not exist financial regulators. March in support of struggling italian businesses has turned violent in rome protest its have clashed with riot police in front of them and. I can rest was sparked by an extension to ease the coronavirus restrictions until the end of april thankfully the closure of all nonessential shops and take away only service for restaurants and cafes many venues have already gone bankrupt unable to withstand the financial pressure of a 3rd lockdown and here the founder of an italian conservative think tank told us he believes government inconsistences are driving people to despair. It seems that people are frustrated because we dont have the form to hand off the lockdown or we dont have a plan for the next. Day to hold the next we certainly dont know if theyre locked down the roof i dont know in the head of we dont know if the look down would finish in the hand of me every week and have every day to go in there to change it in the laws and every week of the government to see that the long now not eat it for next weeks and this is mission is try to difficult for the end of the world is the 1st article of our work as usual say that italy is a democratic county based on the noble so if the normal people eat the city since 10 opening their shops cant call me in the restaurant how they can sleep so i hunger stand he called me understand the people that grew up in the street said it was free and try to see the rows and the problem in our country this is the government dont have the money to this people so thats why the people who are angry today it was from wish to research what are. Important each time he says you see that from the last year. We lost in 1000000 jobs in our country so you can imagine how these difficult Economic Situation is this is called economy in this one so the government has to have also. Been seen several nights about rest with protesters hurling petrol bombs of police and anger over post trade roles shoddy Edwards Daschle has the details. Weve seen Numerous Police officers injured and as these violent clashes as well as dozens of people being arrested some as young as 13 and 14 years of age and so now police are really appealing to Community Leaders to try and stop this disorder and stop this on the breast as well but it all follows on friday decision not to prosecute leaders of the irish nationalists the shin fein party for allegedly breaking coronavirus restrictions for attending a funeral of a former. Leader last year that funeral was in june and allegedly around 2000 people attended so that is one part of the narrative but also receiving rising tensions due to post of bricks issues as well as a specific part of the threats that Withdrawal Agreement thats the Northern Ireland protocol is coming under fire today what were seeing is it all boils down to the fact that these new trade barriers between Northern Ireland and the rest of the u. K. Essentially creates a defacto border on the irish sea quizes that goods entering the night and from britain will have to go through specific checks a century treaty a completely different to the rest of the United Kingdom its always been a huge Sticking Point in both theories of mays attempted brets that deal but also Boris Johnson signed sealed and delivered bricks it deal that is a huge Sticking Point officials in brussels dublin and london just on technical terms but actually what were seeing is a real a motive behind it its an erosion of sovereignity for some its a betrayal by the British Government and all acutely rips up the good friday agreement all together and all the promises of peace within it as well it does seem like neither the shin fein for that matter nor the d. P. Are in the mood for to taunt any time soon when it comes to these violent clashes old to do with that Northern Ireland protocol and it seems all of this stoked up tensions is accelerating by brecks at seeing the appetite to unify Northern Ireland an island really increase in the last few weeks if not more. Its to its highest level of around 42 percent not just confined to the wish for nationalists either but that appetite is also growing amongst the devolved nations too we know that over in scotland that appetite has been growing for years but nicholas sturgeons reenergized efforts are seeing that trajectory continue as well even though looking at wells which is the 2nd smallest nation of the 4 nations theyre jumping on the independence bandwagon too with around 25 percent in the polls saying that they would vote for independence which is double what it was around 6 years ago so it seems like these recent clashes over the last few days in Northern Ireland really are just real reflect real concerns when it comes to the disUnited Kingdom postbreakfast. Fast based political commentator for he says that its futile to try and that really goes he ate the Northern Ireland protocol. Has always happened here. By a political response to the destabilization of Peace Process here and continue to proving positive. Using violence to try. To renegotiate the whole amount of whom its not going to happen anytime soon so its a completely. Normal as flexing their muscle trying to use violence who shouldnt be able for political results represent because it was. Only. So use rocketeers imposition of a large part at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in kazakhstan its due to blast off for the International Space station on friday it also comes as russia prepares to mark the 60th anniversary of yuri gagarin becoming the 1st human in space arties constantine rushkoff is following this latest mission. Well for those who are not involved in the Space Program itself this is arguably the best moment to see the rocket up close when they transfer it from an Assembly Hangar to the launch pad and you know i mean wow just look how look how big it is and you know i got to tell you something that i watched this on t. V. Many times but this is absolutely different when you see Something Like this in person by the way the sawyers rocket is 50 meters long and it weighs over 300 tons and of course it takes a base to retrain even to haul it they move it slowly and carefully because as you can see we can move along in more alaska pop with it theres no need for haste at this moment because its important not to disrupt the assembled rocket just days before liftoff the reason why the soyuz rocket is so big because it needs a lot of fuel to overcome gravity and thats what a space rocket basically is is just a massive fuel tank up to 90 percent of it burns out during the flight sequence in the past and then used parts simply fall back to earth and thats why by the way that was one of the reason why baikonur was built. In sparsely populated steps of kazakhstan because you dont want used parts of rocket to fall on someones house the spacecraft itself is much smaller if you compare with what the rest of the rocket sits right on the tip of the rocket inside a capsule lets go in to protect the space crew while theyre going to make blast their way to orbit. And this time we have 2 russian cosmonauts and want to merican astro. Despite and ask me how badly in space is Dragon Program they still dependent on russia and pay the country to stand its astronauts into space anyway the preparation is in full swing now has specially for russias peter dubrovsky this is going to be his 1st ever space flight 11 of the skin of the russian crew member and space ships captain on the other hand has more experience hes already has 2 Space Missions under his belt the same goes for mark bonner hey whos not only been to the i sat in the past but also perform several spacewalks now if everything goes as planned they will be in space in a few days the launch comes at this 60th anniversary of your gardens flight which made him the 1st average human in space and sat the space age which we live in today just over 550 people have been able to visit earths orbit ever since but thanks to your garden and other pioneers of space travel we know that this is possible and that gravity is not in our limits. And thats how it looks from moscow for now the kaiser report is next. Was a pandemic no certainly no blood is just blood into nationalities. Is a word we dont cover to be we dont have the facts and the whole world needs to be ready to. Judge a comedy crisis we just listened to want to use we can do better we should. Err. One is concerning. But we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is quick to respond because for so many good people who are helping us. It makes us feel very were in it together. By social class. People world poverty by 1st. If youre born into a poor family i. Born into a minority family if youre born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life chances people die. If youre born into generational poverty. Its a. Fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. Max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know a lot of people speculate whether or not god exists or not ill tell you one thing that i can guarantee does not exist financial regulators stacie right i mean it is beginning to look a lot like 2008 to us we were around and reporting back then on the beginning of the Global Financial crisis which we believe is still kind of ongoing but at the time of course it was and around the same time of the year march of 2008 where bear stearns had to hedge funds that collapsed and set in motion what would later few months later 6 months later become the Global Financial crisis when Lehman Brothers also collapsed you started to see that again the debt crisis has risen again you might say bill lang of arc ago he 5 you know his fund collapsed in a spectacular fashion with massive margin call up to about 30000000000. 00 margin call he received and it looks like hes really impacted not only did like c. B. S. By viacom c. B. S. Fall by like 27 percent as all his shares are if i had to be sold off by the counterparty banks but the banks themselves i Credit Suisse have been hit Credit Suisse warns and premarket statement of a highly significant hit to its 1st Quarter Results after it began exiting positions with a large Us Hedge Fund that defaulted on margin calls last week so played
