12:02 am
facing extradition from the u. k. off to losing the latest stage in his court battle. it could serve up to 175 years in jail if found guilty of leaking u. s. military secrets as family say, he is a suicide risk at bob reports now from the high court in london. oh, the support is of julian assange. it's a worried moment. 2 judges at the high court in london have ruled the wiki leaks, found a can be extradited to the united states, to face espionage charges, as and his partner with whom he has 2 young children, was bare to hear the decision. it's been almost a year since i stood outside court with our victory as the blocking of the extradition for the past year. and the past year, 2 years and a half julia has remained in bell marsh prison. and in fact, he has been detained since the 7th of december 2010 in one form for another 11
12:03 am
years for how long can this go on? the decisions based on assurance is presented by lawyers for the u. s. government at october's appeal hearing. they said assigns wouldn't be subject to solitary confinement or held at a maximum security prison. they also said they had diplomatic assurances he could serve any prison sentence in his native australia. judges here effectively decided there was now no reason to believe assange would be a clear suicide risk, which the original ruling had found. the u. s. once a sanction face trial over the release in 2010 of thousands of classified military documents relating to the u. s. wars in afghanistan and iraq. but amnesty international has denounced the decision saying the u. s. charges represent a serious threat to press freedom. something echoed by his supporters. we colleagues was a organization of whistleblowers that made it absolutely safe and secure for whistleblowers to her to bring the truest to the public.
12:04 am
all he has done as tell the truth and on his gen, adonis. albright is upset daily. it's but he has done his job to tell us what's going on. this decision is clearly a big setback for the campaign to free julian a science, but it's already taken years to get to the points. it could be a long time before we know definitively whether he'll be sent to the united states . the case has been sent back to the lower court, so a judge can refer the extradition to home secretary, pretty patel. but julian sound his legal team, so they'll try to lodge an appeal with the supreme court, challenging the american assurances, but he won't be treated humanely. the dean baba al jazeera london, i'm now joined by the editor in chief of where he leeks. kristin robinson joins us over skype from iceland, capital wreck, havoc the judges. they said that they accept you asked assurances that julian assange would not be kept in highly restrictive prison conditions. lord burnett
12:05 am
saying that if the assurances had been before the judge the previous judge, she would have answered the relevant question differently. so what is your reaction to this? well, i think it's outrageous so that the, this decision is based on the so called assurances, let's not forget that the, the u. s. lawyers had every opportunity in the hearing and the magistrate court to present such a so called assurances they did not only after the last in the magistrate court, they cooked up the insurances and presented it in the appeal process. now we didn't, we need to understand that these assurances have been tested. they have been scrutinized by many parties, not just julia's lawyers, but organizations such as i'm the student, the national and other and found that they are not worth the paper. they are written on. and actually in the test of the so called assurances, it says that the united states retains the right to change his little opinion at
12:06 am
any given point after he is i should i did. so it's no assurance at all. and basically the high court is saying that they are willing to risk commence life because it's not just julians timely and supportive. who are saying that julian is the suicide risk. that is the professional opinion of a psychiatrist. we testified to the court to that effect. a very prominent profession, and even though the state lawyers tried to discredit him and the high court did not even rule against him, or he argued that he was not to add that he was biased, they found his testimony. credible. so that is still the case. and so you say that all the parties independent parties of scrutinized information, the u. s. assurances about assange being kept in solitary confinement and in
12:07 am
a maximum security prison. and they have reached their own conclusions, bought the u. k. except that the united states has an independent legal system. so really, how much further can these arguments go about this being politically motivated or whether assange can be, it will be treated fairly is likely to make much of a difference. well, one thing was left out in europe unless as before i came here, that's the fact that if it goes to the magistrate court, there is an opportunity to for julia's lawyer. and julian to appeal the new decision in entirety. so there we will hear the full arguments hold the political nature, office of prosecution or persecution, i should say, the full nature of the violations. cont, julian's and his rights in the entire process of spying on his lawyers stealing
12:08 am
legal material, breaking into legal office and planning to kick knob or even assassinate julian. lessons or list will be presented than in the appeal process. initiated by julians lawyers. and that should, in any, no normal circumstances change the opinion of the courts in britain could the case end up in the european court of human rights. of course we could, but let's hope that we don't have to wait for 2 or 3 years to actually to refer that case to you of the quote us human rights. but that is the last stock. thank you very much, kristen harrison, joining us from reykjavik appreciate you joining so many thank so i have for you on the program claims of torture. an accident shall killings the i. c. c investigates the death of more than a 100 opposition protest as in venezuela cases and hospital admissions are off,

12:13 am
seen pulling bodies from the wreck. authorities believe most, if not all of the victims or migrants from central america, money for conquered are gonna some of them told us they were from one dude us of all ages. sadly, we already have some debts, mexico's president under this manuel lopez. oh, but other words, offered his sympathies and condolences to the families of the victims over twitter national immigration observers say, accidents like these are not uncommon in southern mexico. experts say policy, enforced by the mexican government that prevents migrants from leaving southern mexico, is creating overcrowded conditions at migrant camps and forcing many to grow desperate in an indefinite su, migrants having prevent that from moving indefinitely. some with 3 to 6 months, with no work on the street. a mass migrants actually having a difficult time on their inhumane conditions. migrants have been known to cram
12:14 am
into large trucks where they faced many risks, including kidnapping, extortion, and deadly accidents. my chinese, like now he's in mexico city, any update on the casualties from this accident. unfortunately, the number of people who died in that a horrible accident in southern mexico on friday did climb to at least 55 people. it's relevant that we point out where this accident took place. it happened just outside of the city of duke's law in the mexican state of jap us, which is about 300 kilometers north of mexico's border. with guatemala, this is relative because we are talking about migrants that, that died. central american migrants mainly from honduras and guatemala. now civil protection. the state of chiapas has said that what happened? what they believe to have happened is that this truck was carrying anywhere between a 10200 people crammed in the back of that truck speeding down the highway. it took
12:15 am
a band and flipped over on its side. and again, that number of dead stands at around 50, at around 55, at least 55 people who have died. now, many people in mexico who are paying very close attention to the changing immigration policies are pointing to bad policy to a worsening migrant crisis. on the, in the southern part of the countries as being symptomatic of these types of accidents. we've already heard from the un as well on friday, who said that the death toll of migrants only in 2021 has already surpassed 4470. that's already more than the entirety of 2000 and, and 20. we've heard from world leaders of we have from pope francis offering his condolences sympathies to the families. the mexican institute of for migration has offered humanitarian visas to the survivors of that crash and mexico's president of the discipline developers. over the world has said that the mexican government will cover the costs of repatriated those bodies and will also cover the cost of their
12:16 am
funerals. authorities in chiapas have said that the driver of that truck fled, but that an investigation remains under way. what do we know money about how and why as many as 200 people came to be crammed into the back of that truck? that's a great question. because when we're talking about a 100 people or 200 people, or there have been instances in the past where, where upwards of 600 people are crammed into the back of these of these trucks and they're smuggled, it leaves very little room for doubt that we're talking about a case of people smuggling or maybe a case of, of human trafficking. and we have to be talking about this accident within the larger context of this ongoing migrant crisis playing out in the southern part of the country. immigration policy experts are pointing to this policy saying that it's a policy of containment that prevents migrants for moving north towards the united states. that southern mexico has in many ways become an extension of the u. s.
12:17 am
southern border preventing migrants from moving north, trying to find a way toward that southern border of the united states. and what this is resulted in is in a bottleneck effect where thousands of migrants are crowded in the southern part of mexico in overcrowded conditions and sometimes unsanitary conditions. and when these folks get desperate, they take to the road where they're faced with many, many risks are faced with the risk of kidnapping extortion. of course deadly accidents like the one that we saw take place on thursday. thank you very much. from mexico setting manual or apple reporting to us international criminal court is starting an investigation to the venezuelan government's handling of opposition protests 4 years ago will than a 100 people are killed during months of unrest against president nicholas montero . is, is the 1st time the i, c, c has launched an inquiry against a south american nation to raise above has been to meet the family of one of the victims. a thing it call it. it's been for years since he read an aussie baron

12:21 am
i'll just cedar kodak us a world's leading nuclear inspectors saying iran has expanded its uranium enrichment program close to a level where it could produce nuclear weapons as talks which mean iran and well, powers take place in vienna, international atomic energy agency, chief raphael miano grossi is also told out there that to her on must submit to more inspections. now he's talks and resurrecting historic deal was struck in 2015 in which it agreed to restrict its program. in return for the evening of factions, the agency and iran are trying to come to an agreement on or basically 2 things. one is the capability or the ability of the agency to return to one facility, one specific facility in iran, where we need to reinstall cameras that need to be there. and it has been difficult
12:22 am
to do this. so we have been talking about this and the other thing is how to address a number of issues which need to be clarified. the agency found traces of nuclear material in places that had not been declared before the survivor slaven center. i trans few trivia ron initiative at the atlantic council. she joins me now via skype from washington. the negotiations last week were difficult and tense of the signs more positive this week. well, i think it's a little early to say, even the u. s. delegation has not yet returned to the talks. they're supposed to go back over this weekend. so there been some preliminary discussions. i think iran has gotten a loud and clear message from the remaining parties to the agreement, europeans, russia, and china. that the draft they put down last week in vienna. we're not realistic
12:23 am
that they are, as i've written the day, we're demanding more for less, more concessions. and the way the sanctions relief from the united states in return for less cooperation on the nuclear front and not rolling back all the advances that they've made in their program in recent months. so perhaps that was just an opening did. i think we'll get a better sense probably in the next few days, whether iran is willing to be flexible and whether it's willing to accept progress that was made before iranian presidential elections with a different negotiating team. 6 rounds of talks that took place from april to june earlier this year. i suppose the problem for ronnie negotiators is the fact that the united states withdrew unilaterally withdrew from the deal on the president. donald trump, the same thing could happen again in a few years time and then also the fact that they were not feeling any relief from
12:24 am
the easing of sanctions, actually even on the president brac obama. when this, this historic deal was done. well, it's not entirely true. they got access to billions of dollars in frozen oil revenues in foreign banks. they were able to sell more oil at least for a while. and you know, before donald trump withdrew from the agreement and there were a number of foreign companies that expressed interest in investing in iran, in its automotive industry, in green energy. iran got some airplane investment, never materialized, because of the certainty around shoot. some of the still materialized, the problem is that after trump was elected, a lot of people got cold feet about about these deals. some of them didn't never materialized and of course sanctions were re imposed. now iran is right to be concerned about what happens after joe biden, but in the meantime,
12:25 am
the u. s. has offered to lift all the sanctions that are inconsistent with the agree with the nuclear agreement. and iran once again would get access to about $100000000000.00 in hard currency revenues that are, that are stuck in foreign banks and be able to sell twice or more than that in terms of its oil exports, which it smuggling now out to china. so i think that they're still advantages. the question is, you know, what does iran need to do to say face? how tough did this negotiating team have to appear? what is their calculus about whether they can survive the next couple of years without sanctions relief? what about the iran's nuclear activities are just hearing from or fail grossi there in vienna? now this is an important factor in these talks, how our nuclear advance is affecting the timeframe for diplomacy. well, iran has progressed very far, and that makes the value of the j. c. p a,
12:26 am
the nuclear deal less because there is knowledge that iranian scientists have acquired, that cannot be erased, and a lot of progress made on advance machinery. what mr. grossi was talking about is that monitoring of the program by the international atomic energy agency, has also been reduced over the last few months, which means that the world is flying blind when it comes to run nuclear program. in some aspects, we're not sure of everything that they are doing to get back into the deal. iran has to also return to an agreement with the i. e. a that provides verification. that is it, that is 247 that iran is not diverting materials to weapons uses. and he referred to cameras that need to be reinstalled at a place called corrosion, where there was sabotaged of a few months back that has been attributed to israel. okay, barbara, ivan,
