most basic standards of accountability so it's the only thing that is clear of allegations is there is no transparency so we certainly welcome investigations of the federal police to try to get to the bottom of exactly what has happened here. >> australia policy to asylum seekers and migrants has been criticized as being draconian and reported to off shore detention centers and it's tough attitude by the government that is unlikely to change. >> we certainly have not seen any signs the government is prepared to change its attitude and i think that is very worrying and heard comments from the prime minister saying he will do what it takes and stop the boats by hook or by crook but these policyies and have caused harm to asylum seekers and seen two young men die as a result of what happened to them in the off shore detention center on the island and very

serious with consequences and another asylum seekers and young children and how far is the government prepared to go and how much harm is it prepared to inflict on vulnerable people and how many international laws is it prepared to break. >> tony abbot is helping sovereignty and saving lives at sea stopping these people reaching australian showers, is that a valid argument? >> no i think it's quite self indull indulgent and what we see in these situations is when one avenue is closed down as to australia are they push people down a more dangerous avenue and people are trying to come to australia because they are in need of protection and need of safety and security so will try to do what they can to get themselves and family to a place of safety and if we shut down this avenue as dangerous it is

faces a decade behind bars but the prosecutor asked for him to be acquitted citing lack of evidence and we have been following the story from london and we are still waiting to hear that verdict but the feeling seems to be that strauss kahn is going to escape the conviction. >> yes, i think during the trial back in february it was pretty clear that the prosecution was struggling to prove certainly that dominick strauss kahn had organized these parties and that is the accusation that would need to stick if he is to be convicted of aggravated pimping and even struggled i think to prove that he knew that the women he was sleeping with were prostitutes. what mr. strauss kahn was saying and the lawyers were saying is, look, i'm not being charged under a moral code, i'm being charged under a penal code and

this court is looking at my morality certainly many embarrassing details came out, i think these parties which took place in brussels and washington over the course of three years, 2008-2011 at the time when dominick strauss kahn was head of imf parties would be described as orgies and group sex sessions and women who took part testified back in february and their testimony was pretty harrowing and they were in tears and certainly said they did not enjoy being there. what mr. strauss kahn was saying look i didn't know these women were prostitutes. i may enjoy rougher sex than most people but i needed some form of release. i was busy i quote saving the world in the midst of the global financial crisis. >> so lots of lured detail has come out over this trial, whatever happens, if he is acquitted, what next for strauss

kahn? presumably he will not find it easy to get a high-profile job soon. >> you would have thought, would you not, that his front-line political career is over. let's not forget this is a man who was tipped heavily to be the president of france at one stage and it's not just trial that is embarrassing it's four years ago that began in may of 2011 and you remember the chase with the chamber maid in the new york hotel and eye accused of attempted rape and settled out of court but it has been a bruising four years for him and doesn't mean some form of public career is over. there have been signs of some degree of rehabilitation appearing at high-profile parties, sporting events and certainly you would have to say that his reputation as an authority economic voice, someone who people want to hear with important messages to say

about a turbulent global economy he still has that to his advantage and i would say a lucrative career in public speaking. >> thank you for that and i'm sure we will speak to you when the verdict is actually there. now chancellor angela merkel said greece and international creditors need to show a will to solve the country debt problems and keep talking and imf pulled out of negotiations with major differences and prime minister is not only resisting calls to increase austerity he is rolling back previous ones. unscripted the presentered faulted at the end of the count down if unsure they were religion air or overwhelmed with the emotion of the moment, avert go of defiance in the studio as 2 1/2 thousand people were
