12:02 pm
that i have reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office, that he's really prime minister benjamin netanyahu administer of defense. you, i've got 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 sure consider their chief prosecutors, application, but several was rarely politicians have already commented on the news. one reaction is stronger than in other former and baffled as to the un calls of the course. s, theatre dogs, the dentist to the tunes of the terrorist, as well as national security administer, sat. the movie shows that it was a mistake to send is really representative to the hague advising prime minister and
12:03 pm
defense minister to ignore the and to submit a case of i. c. c. and continue with the operation in gaza. pedro's finance minister now and for his strongly ride tween views and openly and to probably seen in position describe the move as an end to submit to comparing the course with nazi propaganda. that's 2nd, listen. we have not seen such a show. he bought christine hatred of jews like that displayed, 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 an s lawrenceville. 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 violate, sold the basic rules. so the quotes according to the principal of complementarity and all the legal norms. the drawing parallels between the leaders of
12:04 pm
a democratic country determined to defend itself from despicable terror to leaders of the blood. there is to tell organization is a deep distortion of justice and blade and moral bankruptcy. the prosecutor's position to apply for arrest warrants is in itself a crime of historic proportions to be remembered. for generations, warns against this really politician is more of the 1st time the icpc has targeted the leadership, 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 gonna leave it there for now. earlier or the same court issued an arrest warrant against the russian president. why am i putting for most goes special ration and you re and all, only, there was no negative reaction to the move from washington. it was welcomed by the
12:05 pm
us. russia sees it as a clear example of western the park we're saying here is the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman slamming washington for its double face. paul, let's say let's take a listen. 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. it's 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. c. c. officials when the court was investigating whether us forces to meet with the war crimes. and if dan, it's done,
12:06 pm
it was up the 1st time that america attacks the international criminal court. but again, criticism only comes as washington itself, or it's any tourist or is allies are in the spotlight of the international prosecution. and what it is, is not double standard approach. these, where the foreign ministry has announced it will create a crisis headquarters to fight any. i see, see auctions against netanyahu, and galani a mazda is pushed back to the possible the rest of its leaders and saves the entire leadership of these well on. this military conduct, seeing the operation in gaza, should be issued. warrens is where the officials are being accused of crimes against humanity by starving civilians as a method of wolf or while the mouse is wide scale taking of hostages on october. the 7th constitutes they will run for the city and national initiative, positive and stuff about duties. so he's washington supposedly as well as a credible stand this. and i hope that dakota does not the sky owe you and does not
12:07 pm
show, and you call a miss under american pressure, which is absolutely hypocritical. but on one side, there will come the court decisions against pressure and now the other condemned and the code for issuing these decisions about the 0. that shows how much they and i took the states as for the total and complete the started because the american lead the student grab the what it should look i've gotten. so there was and they think that the court of justice on the court of justice in the world is very united states senate congress, which is by the way, and now some of its members out of sorts of things to take a punitive acts against the international court of justice. something unbelievable . uh they don't believe in international lawyers are united states, the ultimate, even international. it below it committees in the law of the jungle. and in general start whoever has the power can do it. they're like the judy and
12:08 pm
a song john is being cr onto the right to appeal is extradition to the us, where he faces up to a 175 years in prison. if convicted, there was a blow as it were neutrons to fight for his freedom. i discussed these latest developments and these men see a song as long saga. we don't see correspondent marine a closer. 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 after his website, which leak so released the information. but it was basically expose the us military's actions abroad in particular in iraq and of ghana sound which we'll get to. and the 2nd and all of a sudden, after that rate charges, random rate charges appear in sweet and where he was at the moment at that moment.
12:09 pm
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 we're appeals, which he failed. and then he entered the ecuadorian embassy in 2012 seeking asylum, which was grand. so the nice spend 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, breeching his bail conditions all the way back in 2012. so he had to, he was sentenced to 50 weeks and prisoners. at the same time us a forty's were always on this case. the one that had expedited to the us where he of course spaces, espionage charges, now pass or the again, the 2021, the courts and the u. k. a rule 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 court there
12:10 pm
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 was a 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 finally 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 should read the situation and drop this case now. now is the moment to do it. just abandon the shameful attack on journalists on the press on the public that has been going on for 14 years, coasted into songs,
12:11 pm
is 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 extradition to the us just took us through the logic of this yes, of course will because it's their secret that julie and the sons' expose not even the he expose that it was his website which leads because it's a wistful blowers who go on there and basically up. busy the, the information that they got or that was linked. so this is basically the persecution of a publisher or a journalist if you will, bought washington does accused him of conspiring for the us army intelligence officer chelsea manning to hack into pencil 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 ask and, and iraq of war diaries were described as the largest security features of their
12:12 pm
client and us military history and they expose the food that was based on the, the us military's actions in iraq. and i've gotten a some huge desks all targeting of civilian so of course, and this was picked up by, oh, was the western press that was very damaging and also very embarrassing information on the surface because of the leaks continues, the x was a and then there were also a sequence diplomatic cables that were leaked and 260000 miles from embassies, us embassies around the world, so forth. 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 bay 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,
12:13 pm
how today's decision is going to impact uh, as long as the long term prospects. it like we know i sondra is a health conditions and know is physical state has mental state and know in tip top shape. and we've been talking about this a number of years now. so although this is a positive step, is it 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 detention and he's been in detention lately 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 last 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 rapidly deteriorating. 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 chocolate he could face the death penalty there. so of
12:14 pm
course, that's one of the many, many reasons. well, we're also seeing human rights organizations fighting against the sex with additional let's hear from amnesty international. for example, the high course decision is a rear 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 acts and charging them with espionage because of before this was use not when it comes to during the less the publishers, if a government worker, for example, links and information to a government work of another country, but here you haven't, a publisher being persecuted for, simply releasing information that was acquired by someone else. so that's why a lot of people are so slight and the freedom of speech of both of them is all about freedom of speech and the freedom of expression, them. what is this all about?
12:15 pm
so that's one of where we're hoping that it will come down to that and we'll see a change because last month, jo, by them the us president did say that he's considering at the request of the australian government. so dropped the case, a drop the charges and allow him to go back home to australia. a wrong supreme leader has announced 5 days as moaning off their presence at the upper hembry see on the farm. and as to his saying, i mean after law he and would consent to have died in a helicopter crash in north west in a wrong the team accompanying them also perished. when the helicopter came down onto on sunday, the red crescent tiles for food at the f, one on both the helicopter died. and as those moments off to the crash, the circumstances surrounding the cross was still on the spot racing claims that the crash could be attributed. to a technical failure, the west q on retrieval operation has been complicated by severe weather conditions and emergency workers,
12:16 pm
and now we are treating bodies from the crash sides. meanwhile, the arabian government has assured that the accidents will not affect his what racing, you know, fatigue in these tragic incident. the rented 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 evil 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 is obliged to arrange with the hands of the legislative and judicial branches to elect a new president. within the maximum of 50 days, yvonne and president has lost his flight on his way to the east also by john provincial capital, tad breeze midway. that incident happened at abraham lucy along with 7 other
12:17 pm
top officials were killed in that crash, then that leaves a heavy burden on the shoulder office, a successor spokesperson of the are wanting guardian council to hong as we've 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 in that counsel that we spoke about earlier, i will be held as soon as um, with the presence of the iranian apartment speaker, mohammed bulger, volleyball f, as well as the judiciary chief, messer se, along with the vice president of the 1st vice president, well, how much more fare to arrange that election to choose than new and ronnie and president, within that time frame of 15 days. so what's next for iran is to also observe dropped massive, unexpected,
12:18 pm
massive funeral ceremony. students are the conic university up the wrong gather today at the campus to hold a memorial service for the late abraham where you see the light there wanting unprecedented brian, where 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 bryan bodies, he was a person who are spearheaded, everyone's shift from reliance on ties with the was to the eastern lodge, he took really practical actions practical steps to try to fulfill his admission of trying to gain self sufficiency, trying to shield the country's economy or economy from the western sanctions and the impacts of the western embargo on different iranian industries. overall,
12:19 pm
he was a special and a have you weighed politician that brought about real change uh for a wrong socio political in iran, socially political scene. and he's going to be miss a lot by the iranian nation. well across the wrong people, a guy the ring to moon, the death of the precedence on foreign minister, locals of floats to most extend drives, praying for those killed. and the crash funeral ceremonies will be held near the crash sites on tuesday, laying the statesman on the other victims to rest. we spoke to the secretary general of the asian mess for him. who say wrong, has imagined seen mechanisms on the country will have a new precedence within 2 months. one has done many difficulties. uh, that illusion have been many estimations explosion and incidence of war uh, many bad opportunities i mean, actually experienced in the wrong uh for the last and the only part of the day. so
12:20 pm
that before needs and it's bad. and the point is that the union nation has the experience of dealing with such situations. and usually at this level of national events, an incidents, the nation is usually united all plan on that. so they join hands to share the same, but the, and to be do we can be together and a, you know, more than before a. so this is going to be one of those moments that even and always will report a successfully it gains if there's already some and didn't, was more, he was a good they are going to be to say there sort of will be the others is not a word that about it, or there's an issue is not just the president of those who voted for it was the present for the own nation. and that is a sort of that is tragic. everyone here when you want, and the only people are actually staying in gathering your own that they're
12:21 pm
starting to support more in order. and also there is the end of those that haven't already defined what is going to be. so based on the guidelines of the policies, according to the constitution assemble, whereas the best buy's present is going to take off this, we go to one of the supreme leader and in mind and only 2 of 3 people in the summer. and also just figure out what's going on and on the judiciary, we actually gather to arrange the everything for elections within 60 days from today. and there should be some of the actions to pick the next president for these don't have to call me on exist on 2 months from now a wrong pakistan on 11, on how to collect a national state of morning following the crash, where the countries are expressing that's the polls and that the tragic death of the rainy and president, remembering him, is
12:22 pm
a strong politician. and i was standing individual among them fellow brooks member, south africa of industry and department is deeply sho, inside and at the reports of the policy of these excellence, the prison, tracy of the. so i'm make republic, i'll be wrong, as well as my colleague the minister of do, i mean the minister of foreign affairs of these lumnick republic. i'll be around their policy and very tragic circumstances. just causes us to express our deepest condolences and sympathies to the government. the people of these let make republicans run as well as to the families of these excellent see the late president crazy and the late minister of july had tony's farm and a so long a has expressed as deep sorrow at the desk of the president on the foreign minister
12:23 pm
of a wrong russian president vladimir putin has also extended his condolences, praising, apprehend gracie's contribution in forging the most go to wrong partnership. said abraham lacy was an outstanding politician whose entire life was devoted to serving the motherland. he rightfully enjoyed high respect from his compatriots and significant authority abroad. as a true friend of russia, he made an invaluable personal contribution to the development of good neighborly relations between our countries and made great efforts to bring them to the level of strategic partnership. some us, it'll make us more quick to gloats over the rainy and president staff even before it was officially confirmed. good riddance, right. you see was a murderous human rights abuse or before and during his presidency. but look for the reigning regime to blame israel and the us for an assassination. as another excuse to support terrorism. the phrases that the world is now is safer and better
12:24 pm
place the evil mind was inside and instead of just, he was not lost or suspected. and he will be missed by no one is gone. i truly held the money and people have the chest and say either come to back from mergers dictates us. that's not cross to it's a wrong university professor. it's, i hate a saw the money. thanks for joining cuz other programs get to see up 1st of all the what does the tragic death of president who i see mean for a radian society and politics a row. first of all, let me begin with the express. think my whole hearted condolences to the families of people who have lost there's a lot of it's in this class and also to uranium people who are deeply touched by the events. and now we see the atmosphere in bass. it's o. sadness and 5 days of morning was announced recently by the supreme leader of the country.
12:25 pm
so the, sorry country is shocked by this events. but then it comes to the impacts on the political arena. what we see is a smooth transition. uh no, not months of any kind of controversy. and then just if you just take a look at the statements mentioned by the convenient offices at the top of which i can refer to the statement by the supreme leader. you can see this the nature of this month. the vision's only hours after some reports for published on the incidents this opinion that came out to say that everything is going to be run is mostly there, is going to be no disturbance on the state of affairs. and also people should not warranty. so all in all, i think a box be observed today in addition to the emotional feelings in the, in addition to the big sorrow that people you,
12:26 pm
pertaining to this heavy loss or the country is in terms of politics in terms of the, let's say political calculation we see just the support transitions in which we have a wide spectrum of people among the letters from right to left, from extreme right to assume that what is shared is a sense of solidarity. i think it's too early to talk about the competition, the election down the road because of this on people are very much of thinking about the i the this, the fact that they have lost 2 g segers alongside the 7 others. and this crash, which was of course, vantage comes to the posts revolution, history of these damage and public very unique. i think it's the most tragic the most is that there is a catastrophic moment in the history of foster of allusion bothers still. we see
12:27 pm
that the country has shown a good capacity in handling this critical situation and did the news is still very fresh. a lot of people that are still in shock, especially the families of the victims of clothes, that however this is already speculation about what comes next for a wrong. the economist, a media outlet is claimed that the officer, the death of the radian presidents, that will be a power struggle. how likely is such a scenario? oh, just small points pertaining to the best certain mainstream media. i have been following this story on a different out list. and so i have seen a lot of, uh you rather than nonsense materials there. uh, a lot of statements by the united states. the officials of these are, these are not to be related conversations because if you just take a look at the reality on the ground, the inside iran, it's
12:28 pm
a totally different story. now, i don't think there is going to be a struggle for power. and then people are talking about the implications, the impact of this incidence. i strongly convinced that advantage post the big issue spanish problems to cheat this say foreign policy behavior, domestic policies, fundamentals of let's go system. these are not dependent on bunk person or to these are on the basis of a consensus, therefore i don't have the answers to pay a big shift. it paradigm shift or the wakes down the road. whoever comes bottom is best for and is, this is the eros at foss, pertaining to say, negotiations with the west and the united states in particular. they flooded, rejects rate for more than 10 years. they stay on a net. and then there was a consensus amongst all political edits,
12:29 pm
and they should change that to reject 3 or foreign policy shifted towards regional powers neighboring countries. this is a fixed policy, so we don't expect it to be changed or another. and as far as how iran deals with the really routine and dates cruelty, i don't think it's a matter of this present or that it's going to be a continuation of the same policy. but back home, if you're talking about the, the strongest. as i told you earlier, it's a bits early because the cost 3, it's of shots. the has to be accomplished for so some which to see what happens. competition is a natural part of any election. we can expect that, but it's not like a big strong go 8 be concert or so let's say parts over different parts the parts here, i can see this consensus based on the diets in this unity among us. so alex, at the time being, thanks for speaking to us today. i really appreciate your time and your inside. so
12:30 pm
wrong university professor to hate a saw the thank you. thanks for having. well, as we make sure you stay with us the international for our continuing coverage, we will always keep you fully updated on all the latest developments, both on that and online. thanks for joining us. the the action or can see what.
