Islamophobia is prevalent in the West and has a negative impact on young Muslim people's identity.

That negatively impacts how they see themselves and their faith. Muslims all live in a complicated world and they all have to get through different stages and different phases of their lives and they're always asking about what religion has to offer in this mix. There is an emptiness in the Muslim communities in the West when it comes to their enrichment and their empowerment.

A British High Court has granted the United States limited permission to appeal a judge's decision from January not to extradite Julian Assange. The Australian journalist and WikiLeaks founder is facing 175 years in prison for publishing evidence of US war crimes.

The US will be allowed to appeal the judge's decision not to extradite Assange on health grounds. She agreed with all the political charges such as espionage and conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, effectively criminalizing journalism.

A key witness for the prosecution recently admitted to fabricating their testimony against him. Sigurdur Thordarson, a key witness for the US prosecution, admitted recently that he fabricated his witness statement against Assange in exchange for immunity from the US.

The UK decided the appeal can move forward, regardless. The US said it provided assurances that Assange might not be placed under Special Administrative Measures (SAMs) nor would he be jailed in ADX Florence, a super-maximum prison in Colorado.

The US also allegedly offered Assange the possibility to serve his sentence in Australia. These reassurances are not to be taken seriously, Assange's fiancé and partner Stella Moris said. At the same time, the British government has proposed reforms to the Official Secrets Act that could see journalists and whistleblowers punished with much harsher sentencing for publishing things the government doesn't like.

We look back on 73 years of Palestinian resistance against the Israeli occupation and the international support for it or lack thereof for the Palestinian cause especially as violence from Zionist mobs unfolds against Palestinians in the heart of Palestine's capital in the Holy City of Jerusalem.

More than 30 web domains linked to the Axis of resistance one of which is our own Press TV were blatantly seized by US agencies last week.

The US seized sites operated inside Iran, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon as well as social media channels affiliated with the Iraqi Resistance the PMU. The seizures come as the Biden administration is in the midst of negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program and follow the election of a new president who has been criticized by Washington for being a staunch detractor of its imperial foreign policy.

The Iranian government condemned this act of censorship as unlawful and part of an influence campaign against the Islamic republic of Iran. Meanwhile, it seems that death in PA custody no longer differs from the Israeli occupation's use of ruthless excessive force against Palestinians during incarceration.

An outspoken critic of the Palestinian Authority who intended to run in parliamentary elections before they were cancelled earlier this year died during his arrest in Hebron by PA forces on Thursday.

Nizar Banat, 44, was a harsh critic of the Palestinian Authority, which governs parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, and called on Western nations to cut off aid to it because of its growing authoritarianism and human rights violations.

The United States has abruptly seized the websites of Press TV and 33 outlets in total, belonging to Iran and its allies, in an outrageous attack against the foreign press. US President Joe Biden used emergency powers and sanctions imposed by Trump against Iran, to seize the .com domains of 33 foreign news sites.

What do these sites all have in common? They're Muslim, Arabic, Persian and form part of the Axis of Resistance. They go against the US narrative, hence why they were targeted. This brazen act of piracy and authoritarianism constitutes one of the most serious affronts on journalists and foreign media in recent times.

Since episode 1, the world has undergone many changes. The Emiratis put their first mark on Mars, the Israeli regime held about three thousand General Elections, and Donald Trump has been safely released back into the wild. But what hasn't changed is the United States presence in Afghanistan. Yes, they're still on duty after all these years. The children of soldiers who invaded Afghanistan are now grown up and applying for university, while Uncle Sam is still out there, 20 years after they first invaded. If they'd been that slow after World War II, the Americans would still be occupying Germany - which they actually are doing!

After years of expressing concerns over global warming and climate change and doing almost doing nothing, the EU is finally on the verge of doing something about banning hijab at work.

The European Union's top court has just ruled that employers are permitted to forbid the wearing of visible symbols of religious or political belief, such as hijab, headscarves, and just about anything else Muslim women might use to cover their hair.

This is a big insight. Because this means European Union has therefore revealed the three things which most endanger the future of life on Earth firstly Russia, secondly China and thirdly and most importantly Muslim women who wear hijab at work. But let's be fair; the EU consists of a couple of dozen countries and we must not tar all of them with the same brush.

This week, we're going to take a ride on a wild horse that's stampeded on privacy across the world. Pegasus, a beast from old Greek mythology, is also a horse that's been trained at the technological stables of an Israeli company that goes by the name of NSO Group.

This Pegasus does its tricks in the mysterious showground of the digital world. It's military-grade spyware, and the good news is, if you're being spied on, it's free! That's because Pegasus can be secretly installed on your mobile phone and turn it into a wonderful 24-hour surveillance device.

It can copy messages you send or receive harvest your photographs and record your calls. Pegasus can also secretly film you through your phone's camera, or activate the microphone to record your conversations. This is fantastic news if you want to keep a diary and are too lazy to do it yourself, for absolutely zero financial cost, Pegasus will record everything you do or say in public or private.

You know the phrase Just Google it? Well Pegasus is a kind of state sponsored Google, but better. Can't remember what you did last summer? Just Pegasus it! Want to remember where you spent Saturday night? Pegasus it! Want to know where your partner spent last Saturday night? That's right, just Pegasus it! No more guessing because Pegasus gallops where Google fears to tread.

Looks into the life of asylum seekers who fled their war-torn countries in search of a better life in Germany.

In this edition, Spotlight interviews Thiagarajan Sundararaman global project coordinator of EACT (Equitable Access to Care and Health Act) out of New Delhi and Gloria Taliani infectious disease specialist from Rome to look at why Covid-19 vaccine distribution is not reaching many poor or developing countries and why vaccine inequality is persisting. The World Health Organization has described global imbalance in access to Covid-19 vaccines as 'disgraceful', calling for moratorium on Covid-19 vaccine booster shots, at least until September.
