11:01 am
a presidential elections has to be held within 50 days. the very will welcome to you because all the international with the latest wells news update is great to have you with us. as always, our top story, this, our, the chief prosecutor of the international criminal quotes has applied for arrest warrants for these way, the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and the homeless leader in gaza for war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the october 7th attacks on as well, and the ensuing conflict in dawn, so i have reasonable grounds to believe the 3 senior leaders of how a mass you know, yes. and while i'm at dice and she may need a, a back criminal responsibility for the following international crimes committed on
11:02 am
the territory of these rail. i'm the state of palestine from at least the 7th of october 2023. i can also confirm today that i have reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office. that is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu administer of defense. you, i've got and a back criminal responsibility for the following international crimes committed on the territory of the state of palestine from at least the 8th of october 2023. the panel of the international criminal coal judges is yet to consider the chief prosecutor's application. but several was fairly politicians have already commented on the news. one reaction is stronger than in other former and baffled into the un coles of the course as theater of dogs, the den so, so the tunes of the terrorist,
11:03 am
israel's national security administer sat. the movie shows that it was a mistake to send is really representative to the hague advising, prime minister and defense minister to ignore quote, the answer submits a case of icy feet and continue with the operation in gaza. israel's finance minister now and for his strongly ride when views and openly and to probably seen in position describe the move as an end to submit to comparing the course with nazi propaganda. let's say can listen. we have not seen such a show. he bought christine hatred of jews like that display, but according to hague, since nazi propaganda. now this also spoke in the name of morality and there was nothing there besides and so i assume it is addressed warrants for them auto arrest warrants for all of us taking in bad faith. this one sided move represents a union lot. so political stop doesn't bolton's terrace around the world and violates sold the basic rules. so the courts,
11:04 am
according to the principal of complementarity and all the legal norms. a drawing parallels between the leaders of a democratic country determined to defend itself from despicable terror to leaders of a bloodthirsty terror organization is a deep distortion of justice and blade and moral bankruptcy. the prosecutors position to apply for arrest warrants is in itself a crime of historic proportions to be remembered for generations. the warrens against this really politician is more of the 1st time the icpc has targeted the literacy of all the close ally of the united states. there was no yes, official reaction from washington, but this is what the white house had to say earlier. let's take a listen. so we've been really clear about the icbc investigation. we do not support it. we don't believe that they have the jurisdiction and i'm just going to leave it there for now. earlier are the same court issued and the rest for and against russian presents? what am i putting for most goes special ration and you re and all,
11:05 am
only there was no negative reaction to the move from washington. it was welcome to by the us. russia sees it as a clear example of western. the park we're seeing here is russian foreign ministry spokeswoman slamming washington for its double face fall, let's say, let's take a look. to be honest, this is evidence of the stratification of consciousness among the white house strategists. let me remind you. on the one hand, the i c. c. judges are under us sanctions. on the other hand, washington fully supported, is not stimulated the issuance of i c. c. warrants against the russian leadership. at the same time, the american political system does not recognize the legitimacy of the structure and relation to itself and its satellites. the sense of absolute permissive. this leads to the absurdity of mental constructions. just to clarify, back in 2020 washington ing date imposed sanctions on senior i. safety officials
11:06 am
when the quotes was investigating whether us forces to meet with the war crimes. and if dan, it's done, it was not the 1st time that america attacks the international criminal court. but again, criticism only comes as washington itself. or if any taurus or its allies are in the spotlight of the international prosecution, and what it is is not double standard approach. while a mazda has pushed back the possible, the rest of its leaders and saves the entire leadership events well on this military and involved in the operation in gaza, should be issued, warns will be, is waiting for a ministry has announced it will create a crisis headquarters to find any i c, c actions against the next and you all who owns a lot. i have instructed the immediate establishment of a special command center at the foreign ministry with all professional entities aimed at fighting against the decision intended primarily to shackle israel's hands . and prevent it from exercising its right to self defense as well published on
11:07 am
relations, expedited sides, numerous saves the west, has to set the rules for cases that the eyes easy. and this is the exact example of the simple garcia and the, the rest of the window and just shooting them. it's fine. and now i guess is i've gotta send it to the uh, the judges. i see at the america called, you know, the sanctions on some of the judges. so when it comes to there, are you running against them or i guess you have some of the allies like is, was, and you know, the nice guy see, i'm talking about if these aren't any one entity is you know, they're in 1st going to be get t i z is great sound and everything is clear, like what happened in the case of, of this dental thing. so i think it's like of us now we are talking about this
11:08 am
emotional community that inspires is somebody on the united states and some of these in some. ready states and in order to work for you guys for the the julian assaults has been growing to the right to appeal hayes extradition. see the us way faces up to a 175 years in prison. if convicted, that was a blow was renewed. sean is defined for his for you to discuss these latest developments in the lens. the song song go with auntie correspondence. marina calls her and of course the ruling a means that assigns will not be expedited within 24 hours, but essentially which is good. but essentially doesn't change anything because it means that he can continue appealing, which he has been doing for years, and he's being persecuted from all the way back in 2010. when all of this started
11:09 am
after his website, which leaks of released the information a bit, which basically expose the us military's actions abroad in particular and the rock and the status on what's we'll get to and the 2nd and all of a sudden after that rate charges random rate charges appeared in sweet and where he was at the moment at that moment. and after that that prompted his move to the united kingdom. and then the courts there ruled that he should be expedited to sweden. the were appeals, which he failed. and then he entered the ecuadorian embassy in 2012, seeking this solemn, which was granted in these spent 7 years there. now fast forward to 2009, seeing that we're doing and the c. uh, typically wages asylum status. and that's from goodness authorities arrested in face on him breach. and his um, the bail conditions all the way back in 2012. so he had to, he was sentenced to 50 weeks and prisoners. at the same time,
11:10 am
you saw ortiz were always on this case, the one that had expedited to the us where he of course spaces as spin us charges, now pass or the again, the 2021, the courts and the u. k. a rules that no astonish cannot be expedited to the united states because there he risk losing his life based on the harsh us present conditions. the us government been filed in the. busy and convinced the port there that he would be treated humanely. now there was another appeal and now it's been finally sets that he can continue appealing in the u. k. because the only other option was so if today it wasn't negative response, he could only appeal to the european court of human rights. so he's continuing to peeling uh, within the u. k. so it doesn't really change the fact that his persecution continues on good news, of course, for the family that he's not in the united states. let's hear more from his wife outside. the 4th, what she said, we spent a long time hearing the united states putting lipstick on a pig. but the judges did not quiet. the united states
11:11 am
should read the situation and drop this case now. now is the moment to do it. just abandon this shameful attack on journalists on the press on the public that has been going on for 14 years. yes, absolutely. in the united states have indicted him on 18 charges mainly on espionage. and he places a 175 years in prison there. as long as his wife selections become well known face for her, you know, impassioned speeches and fight for a songy is released. and she's been very critical of the us who were really hounded . a julian, a sons that i've had numerous, he is like you said, but it's close to the song. he's not an american citizen. you know, he's australia. and he also holds ecuadorian citizenship in networks. and so it is determined to secure his expedition to the us just took us through the logic of
11:12 am
this yes, of course will because it's their secrets that julie and the sons' expose not even the he expose that it was his website with leaks because it's a wistful blowers who go on there and basically upper. busy low the, the, the information that they got or that was linked. so this is basically the persecution of a publisher or a journalist. the few will thoughts washington does accused him of conspiring with us on the intelligence officer chelsea manning to hack into pensive on computers and access those military files and diplomatic cables and then release. and then uh, and also just to take you through some of the revelations that we saw again in 2010 in 2011, was really the main leaks there were actually describe the afghan and iraq war diaries were described as the largest security features of the client and us military history and they expose the truth of a space under the us military's actions in iraq and have gotten a sinus huge. that's all target, think of civilian. so of course,
11:13 am
and this was picked up by all was the western press that was very damaging and also very embarrassing information on the surface because the leaks continue, the x was a and then there were also a secret diplomatic cables that were leaked and 250000 miles from embassies, us embassies around the world. so for a lot of people, a lot of diplomats, us and military officials and us officials in general now was very angry and embarrassed by what came out. and then add to that. also the guantanamo based files where they expose the torture and unnecessary detention of hundreds of people who received 0 no fair trial. there was, happens essentially in secret. so of course, this was very, very damaging for, for the united states. i'm just wondering, you know, how today's decision is going to impact uh, as long as long term prospects. it like we know a songy is a health conditions and know is physical state as mental state and know in tip top
11:14 am
shape. and we've been talking about that for a number of years now. so although this is a positive step, is it's, is a lie to the end of the tunnel. can we say, well, it's, the tension is being prolonged. so yes, you can appeal, but he's still in detection and he's been in detention really for over a decade. if you calculate 7 years at the embassy, and now the last few years where he's been in prison over a decade to lock stop, so naturally. so this has had an extreme effect on his health. his family had been more than that. his health is bracket and the a record live, it's here, right. and we even saw that at one point recently. he couldn't attend one of his own trials because he wasn't, he wasn't feeling well and his wife has said that he will not survive the expedition to the united states. where by the weather was at some point so that he could face the death penalty there. so of course, that's one of the many, many reasons. well, we're also seeing human rights organizations fighting against this expedition. let's hear from amnesty international for exam a hi. court's decision is
11:15 am
a rare piece of positive news for julian assigned. and all defenders are press freedom. the high court has rightly concluded that if extradited to the usa assigns will be at risk of serious abuse, including prolonged solitary confinement which would violate the prohibition on torture or other ill treatment. also, a lot of people are having an issue with the fact that washington is using the espionage act and charging them with espionage. because before this was used, not when it comes to during the less the publishers, if a government work or for example, links and information to a government work of another country. but here you haven't, a publisher being persecuted for something releasing information that was acquired by someone else. so that's why a lot of people are so sites and the freedom of speech of washington is all about freedom of speech and the for freedom of expression. them, what is this all about? so that's what, where we're hoping that it will come down to that and we'll see a change because last month, joe, by then the us president did say that he's considering at the request of the
11:16 am
australian government to drop the case a drop the charges and allow him to go back home to australia. we'll see if that happens again, election season. this would look good on joe biden, especially now with everything that's happening in the world around as well. let's . let's see what happens. but the appeal process continues. well, but griffith says the general secretary of the communist policy in person in the phase, given the case, political subservience to the us, sol, as is charles, is for a favorable legal outcome of slim as well as the welcome sign. is that all that you get should be in written, which is supposed to be independent of the content to go. our place that we've actually seen a small spark of that independence with today's ruling. but of course, nobody should, nobody who values the free speech and freedom of the media should should, for a moment imagine that we are on the way to victory. and the release of fusion has
11:17 am
found we've seen previous decision for this 5 bridges polls. and therefore, i think there's absolutely no room for complacency. i'm afraid, i've given dreadful don't say in foreign affairs of military matters as a loyal total of the united states. and that is still a serious prospect that the united states will get its way across the only, the only justifiable reason for it i found go to the united states square feet. there has changed, for example, a, a congressional metal overall uh, uh, forward it should be in exposing what is, what is a wash system of mass surveillance? um should version of state violence um the, the united states and cultures be practicing so many decades. the only real trying
11:18 am
in america is always that says, i found just committed instance these paul lew about this and he's not going to be forgiven any time soon to doing it wrong. supreme leader has announced 5 days of morning off the president abraham bracy and foreign minister. his saying i'm in the law here on watkins phone to have died in a helicopter crunch in north west in iran. but same accompanying them also perished . when the helicopter came down on sunday foot, it shows emergency workers retrieving bodies from the side of the crash. the red crescent task reported that everyone on both the helicopter died within the 1st moments onto the crash. the rescue on retrieval operation has been ongoing for several hours. severe weather conditions, rain and heavy falls as well as the difficult to rain have complicated the search. meanwhile, be ready and government has a show. they the because the crash will not effect as was racing. you know,
11:19 am
fatigue in these tragic incident. the rent in nation lost a sincere and valuable servant for him. the welfare and satisfaction of the people was preferred over everything. so he's annoyances from the ingratitude and tones of some you wishers. did not prevent him from working day and night to improve affairs . according to the constitution, well, how much must there is in the position of managing the executive branch. and he's obliged to arrange with the hands of the legislative and judicial branches to elect a new president. within a maximum of 50 days. it wanting a president has lost his flight on his way to the east azerbaijan provincial capital tab breeze midway. that incident happened and abraham lucy, along with 7 other top officials of were killed in that crash, then that leaves a heavy burden on the shoulder office. a successor spokesperson of the iranian
11:20 am
guardian council to hong that's even just announced that the iranian vice president is, has officially started its role to take over the presidential responsibilities for up to 50 days. and this means that a, that counsel that we spoke about earlier will be held as soon as with the presence of the iranian parliament speaker mohammed the both as well as the judiciary chief, messer se, along with the vice president. so the 1st vice president, why must move back to um, arrange that election to choose the new iranian president within that time frame of 50 days. so what's next for iran is to also observe dropped massive, unexpected, massive funeral ceremony students of the icon ic universe. if you up the wrong gather today at the campus to hold a memorial service for the late abraham,
11:21 am
where you see the light, they're wanting presidents and brian were you see, and his companions who died on sunday, i brought him lucy for space repeated visits, 2 different iranian universities, including the university of toronto, trying to bring about this connection and contact between the science and knowledge, as well as the industry students here say that brian bracy was a person who are spearheaded their wands shift from reliance on ties with the was to the eastern blog, he took really practical actions practical steps to try to fulfill his ambition of trying to gain self efficiency, trying to shield the country's economic economy from the western sanctions and the impacts of the western embargo on different iranian industries. overall, he was a special ed, a heavy weight politician that brought about a real change uh for
11:22 am
a wrong socio political in iran, socially political scene. and he's going to be miss a lot by the iranian nation. all across a wrong people, a gathering symbol. the death of the presidents and foreign minister locals have flocked to most succeeding drives, praying for those killed. and the crash funeral ceremonies will be held near the crash sites on choose day laying. the statesman on the other victims to rest. we spoke to the secretary general of the asian mess for him, who stays a wrong house emergency mechanisms on the country will have a new lead us and less than 3 months. one has done many difficulties. uh, that illusion have been many estimations explosion and incidence of war uh, many bad news, i mean, actually experienced in the wrong uh for the last nearly 5. so that before he's added to that, and the point is that the union nation has the experience of dealing with such
11:23 am
situations. and usually at this level of now has no events, an incidents, the nation is usually united around the corner of that. so they join hands to share the same, but the, and to be do you compete together? and they, you know, more than before. so this is going to be one of those moments that even, and those will be a part of successfully it gains if there's already sandy then what's more, they are going actually to say they're starting with the others. it's not a word that about it, or there's an issue. it's not just the president of those who voted for it wasn't present for the own nation. and that is a sort of that is tragic. every want to renew one and the only people are actually staying in gathering your own that sorrow to support more in order. and also there is the rule is and the laws that have already defined what is going to be. so based
