while new charges brought against the alleged russian arms dealer are investigating . new revelations beyond mind whistleblower wiki leaks promises to release a secret cia document just a month after lifting the lid on scandalous u.s. military files. with the recent checkered history russia has left a lot of people with claims to property some ludicrous all those serious we meet a self-proclaimed royal seeking to evict the russian president from the kremlin claiming it's his family home. it's five pm in moscow and this is our to you coming to you live with me and use in our way first up this hour thai authorities say a russian businessman wanted for arms dealing in the u.s. will not be extradited immediately report said

a special plane to collect viktor boot had already arrived in bangkok considering the us are of a has been following the story. there's finally been some clarity in the case it is very unlikely that week that both will leave thailand today that is according to the country's prime minister who said that according to tile laws because the united states already has filed a new set of charges against me that approved those include money laundering but he will not be extradited until those charges are actually heard it before of course the united states realizing that they've basically set a spoke in their own wheels are now trying to do their best to withdraw those charges in order to be able to proceed with the extradition process but for now the blood remains in solitary confinement in the infamous bangkok hilton the thai prison in the capital bank called the first united states authorities are doing everything they can to extradite the man to the u.s.

as quickly as possible according to some rumors there's already a charge it is a special chartered plane stationed at an air force base in thailand that was set there just to pick up food and bring him back to the united states so he could stand trial there but so far basically all those attempts to extradite the man as soon as the ruling was made on august twentieth have failed we don't know what will happen tomorrow but for now take the bullet remains and talent he was arrested and that the tide capital bangkok in march two thousand and eight. miles by the u.s. government accusing him of international arms trafficking and specifically selling and delivering weapons to militant terrorist organizations that george bush in two thousand and four that president prohibited the united states government of from having any kind of contract with the bush and his companies but despite that request despite the order by the president the pentagon actually extended his

contract to two thousand and six so for two years the pentagon operated with the book and these companies basically outside of the. he was taken down and it's a capital by joint sting operation by the u.s. and thai authorities force that the board has always maintained his innocence. well brian johnson thomas a former arms trafficking expert for the u.n. security council believes boots extradition is a matter of when not if. i'm not quite clear why the americans have fought this case. maybe just about the money they spent on the sting operation but certainly they're very very keen to get back to the states and the consequences that will follow i think there are two points one is that the reason why they dropped the money laundering charges may be that they can concentrate purely on the sting operation where victory is alleged to have agreed to supply weapons to the far if that happens then the court in america may also be directed not to look at anything

other than a sting operation so they will not be able to bring into court and to open court the many times when victor was of some service to the pentagon or whoever else he thinks will go to america he will go on trial in manhattan and he will be found guilty on the narrow charges of agreeing to supply the park i don't think that's necessarily fur but that's what's going to happen. live from moscow here with our two we've got plenty more ahead for you this hour including. the latest in the world of barbecue factory industry all in one place along of a mosque international motor show for all that's glamorous on four wheel. the whistle blowing web site that posted more than eighty thousand pentagon files online a set of calls to star once again we cue leagues has announced it's not going to

make public cia papers but it comes while the site's founder remains under investigation in sweden over molestation claims were met has the details. well we know very little at the moment about what kind of information is going to be released later on today we do know that wiki leaks released a message on twitter saying that today would be the day that they released a new set of information make a new leak we're not sure what time that's going to happen we're still waiting for it at the moment and we're also not care about whether it's related to the afghan war diaries that were released as a huge volume of documents eighty thousand documents that wiki leaks released the afghan war details. the reporting of civilian casualties the evidence of war crimes having been committed and misrepresenting misreporting basically of what was actually happening during that war a picture of a bloody conflict that's not going to come to an end anytime soon what we do know

however is that those original documents eighty thousand of them they were came exclusively from the u.s. military there was no secret information there no you know top secret classified documentation and importantly no information from the cia but this information according to wiki leaks does come from the cia so it's not clear whether this is the fifteen thousand documents that cheated on his team when they may be original. now ready to put them out or whether this is coming. from an entirely new source which is more related to the cia this is a big day for julian i saw as the representative of wiki leaks he is not only releasing this information but it's also going to be revealed today whether he will face charges of molestation and this is really an extraordinary story came to light over the weekend and arrest warrant has been issued for a soldier in sweden to swedish women and women came forward one of them said that he had rate and another one said that he had molested her now molestation is

a lesser charge than rape the prosecutor is going to decide on wednesday whether or not he will stand charges for molestation the rape charge has already been thrown out the prosecutor in sweden said that there was no evidence to suggest that there was a rape and we have to draw a parallel between these two events happening on the same day releasing of new information and deciding whether whether he will stand charges of molestation it's possible that this was done to deflect attention from this sexual charge that he may have to face. trying to establish democracy by military force is a hopeless task some sort of political theorist john dom who believes the process of change must be peaceful he wants his full interview next hour but here's a quick preview. the process of democratization you could say is progress towards a very good outcome which hasn't actually come out anywhere in the world so far so

if you have an ambitious goal of democratization what those two experiences taken together of taught us is that it's absolutely hopeless to try to move fast in the election of that kind of bombing countries. invading them without wanting to inform yourself about. beliefs and practices of most of their inhabitants and neither. he nor the new afghanistan which is really under any one ever. told promising candidates for rapid democratization it isn't possible to democratize anywhere by bombing it and invading it. new york mayor michael bloomberg says plans to build a mosque two blocks from the nine eleven site shows a commitment to american values that's what he told gast at an annual ramadan
