julian assange resumes in london u.s. governments the u.s. government sees him as a criminal who revealed more secrets but others around the world regard him as a heroic campaigner for transparency. plus local media report the arrest of a position figure in bella ruse and hundreds are arrested after a mass rally against. the weekend. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program another breaks it showdown between britain and the european union british prime minister boris johnson says the u.k. will pull out of talks aimed at striking a deal free trade deal with the block if there is no agreement october 15th in a statement released to the press johnson said there needs to be an agreement with

our european friends by the time of the european council on the 15th of october if it's going to be enforced by the end of the year so there is no sense in thinking about timelines that go beyond that point. and he goes on to say if we can't agree by then then i do not see that there will be a free trade agreement between us and we should both accept that and move on. or britain of course formally left the e.u. in january but the transition period was agreed until the end of the year more correspondent joins us from london barrett we've got boris johnson there delivering an all to made him all the future trade deal and there's also that report from the financial times saying that the u.k.'s planning to override parts of the regs withdrawal agreement what is going on here. well with this new deadline obviously rose johnson is trying to put pressure on the

european union to bring some new into the negotiations that have really stalled in the south however much more provocative in my view is this new legislation that the british government is expected to publish in the middle of this week so this is the u.k. legislation however it is fear that it could contra really in this so-called devos agreement what the u.k. and the european union had agreed on when the u.k. started negotiating the exit out of the european union and this is an international treaty so if the u.k. government indeed goes back on the water has signed this agreement that of course is a huge issue of trust because boris johnson has always said that britain wants to be global britain and he wants to be this good nobody wants to see new agreements with the rest of the world not just be bound to the european union however if this global britain then cannot be trusted and the case like this that actually has many

experts and many critics of the government has got people really worried as to what's going on that. should the u.k. go back on its agreement spirit with brussels the major ramifications not least for the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland irish foreign minister simon company has been tweeting about this he says this would be a very unwise way to proceed. he's obviously understating it big it should be u.k. go back on its agreement tell us again what the consequences of this would be for the irish border region. well we have to of course wait until this bill is really published and it's said to be happening in the middle of this week the government. itself said a government minister said it's just about technical details so they're saying that

not going to go against the withdrawal agreement however we just need to keep in mind how politically sensible this is this northern ireland protocol reads organizes basically how the republic of ireland indeed you and the northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the rest of the u.k. how old this works together and how trade disorganized and it's politically very very very very sensitive we've had on the rest. in the ahl and in northern ireland for 4 decades and really within the european union this is all being very very peaceful wreath now had peace for decades but many people on the island of bali really fear that if this is not tended handled carefully that there could be a threat to this still quite fragile peace process on the island of holland and you can thank you very much that was do you know these big boss in london. a court

in london is due to resume hearings in the extradition case of wiki leaks founder julian assange the u.s. wants to stand trial for breaking into classified computer systems and leaking information about wars in afghanistan and iraq and sensitive government operations assange faces up to 175 years in jail if convicted there in the u.s. the hearings were delayed the extradition hearing delayed because of the pandemic and are expected to last up to 4 weeks. at that court in london is our correspondent sean chel some pills charlie what can we expect from julian songes defense team. currently this hearing where you where there is. through this campaign the free speech or whether he is a criminal. the united states now his lawyers will argue in this hearing that the

prosecution a politically motivated they're expected to say that a song just think it's used because he feels evidence of war crimes and human rights to do this which in paris to the u.s. government through that he was behind one of the launches leaks as a classified material i his defense team as well as expected to argue that his own health grounds he should be extradited to the u.s. to spawn and has said in a series of interviews over the last week or 2 that to the innocence is also a lot of weight while he sits behind bars as a high security so much as prison and his defense little so if you got to get us on was it accident watching as a journalist and what he was doing a lot of people look express concern in the media was not just in the u.k. but around the world to the exhibition that do you know songs with the president saw the gentleman essentially that the gentleness do each classified material pertaining to national security and the execution of it's not

a sauce with future jonas at risk i spoke to the school the editor at the guardian alan rusbridger a short time ago he was of course said that the health of the body which was very heavily involved in the wiki leaks material and he said just because duty in a song is a decisive sink it doesn't mean that the world shouldn't pay close attention to that case. well the problem with the case is the whatever the weather we like hearing the sound on all we approve all things he's done. he has done and is being a few things that all journalist. the judge is. the author of who succeeds prosecuting extraditing jailing things that sets. a tricky president who could. miss doing very similar

things ok charlotte what's your role does this journalistic angle play in the case does does a case hinge on whether or not chilliness on just work can be considered journalistic. but i question really is it the halt to this case and it is also why it is proving so close about why so many people a watching so closely this isn't just about one fan on the 1st told me it's a balance and leaking and how to say to it take going forward this must be pointed out that this hearing isn't about finding him guilty at this stage it's just about establishing whether or not the case the qualification for the ek to ask him to the united states of course that he's going to try and undermine any suggestion that it's on the tennis they will say that the fact that to be key published under directed material on its platform could find out where.

that is what the u.s. will all be like to be a barrister and the expedition senate session is done you'll send back at the expense those that know what the prosecution the the u.s. . well the u.s. will be looking to poke as many holes as they can in the defense's case that will be hotly contested each and every issues being raised in challenging i expect every witness that's being called they will be saying this is a straightforward case of espionage in particular the new indictment that's been issued relates to assistance that mr songe is alleged to have given to chelsea manning you know hacking top secret information from u.s. government computers and they will say this isn't about journalism this isn't about freedom of expression this is about a crime against national security and that none of the defenses arguments mean that he should be extradited. so how's it looking then charlotte how likely is it that a son will be extradited to the u.s.

should it is stage is very difficult it's a bit cheeky given the fact that this is expected has all a very long time not only is this that it is the area that for a week is expected but is also why do you believe that there are going to be if you got a list of how the hearing plays out now we could go one yes or several years because charlotte thank you very much for a new something date there that was shot chance in pill in london. so you look now at some of the stories making headlines today british police have arrested a suspect in connection with the stabbing rampage in birmingham one man died and 7 other people were wounded 2 of them seriously authorities said the victims appeared to have been chosen at random and that there was no indication the attacks were terror related. the korean peninsula has been hit by its 3rd typhoon in this many weeks typhoon haiyan knocked out power to thousands of homes flooded roads and
