12:03 pm
american secret services have proof big to boot have been alarming the terrorists behind the times will find more in the claims we're going to. be live so what are the details of these new allegations. all this is a very unexpected twist in the saga of victor boot and his future of course on august twentieth the thai appeals court ruled in favor of the united states already to what field for his extradition to the united states where he will face a life behind bars for arms trafficking money laundering and of violating international trade laws but today a tight television channel showed a small. story that was actually more similar to a short propaganda style documentary that basically documented the life and alleged dealings of the. business network and also quoted some unnamed american authorities
12:04 pm
who are allegedly in possession of evidence that proves victor booth was involved or somehow is somehow involved in the nine eleven terrorist attacks in the united states of course this is something that has just surfaced there has been no mention of it whatsoever leaving many analysts to wonder why exactly is the united states had this evidence before hand they didn't make it public because surely that would have strengthened their case against with their blood and maybe have even made the criminal court which earlier refused boots extradition to swing the case their way and actually believe the evidence that they have so the fact that this evidence has just appeared when the united states are clearly facing difficulties with the extradition process this elsley of this is leading many to wonder what kind of evidence this is what who what kind of sources. is the thai television channel actually relying on and why this information is surfacing just now of course if the
12:05 pm
boot is waiting for a decision from the thai authorities about his extradition date the united states wanting to extradite him as quickly as possible following the decision on august twentieth allegedly and especially chartered plane traveled all the way to thailand and it is currently stationed at a u.s. air force base in the country waiting specifically to transfer mr boat back to the united states however thai authorities do say that because the united states filed new charges against the russian businessman those charges now have to be processed criminally in order for the man to be extradited the united states of course realizing that they've basically tripping up their own case are now trying to withdraw those charges but what this will lead to and how this story will develop nobody knows so far too many times about that was always going to be known as out of our reporting for us from moscow. will love brian jones and thomas a form almost half a gag for the u.n.
12:06 pm
security council believes that extradition is a must when no say. i'm not quite clear why the americans have fought this case so tenaciously maybe just about the money they spent on the saying operation but certainly they're very very keen to get addicted to the states and the consequences that will follow i think ritu point one is that the reason why they're now dropped the money laundering charges may be that they can concentrate purely on the sting operation where victor is alleged to have agreed to supply weapons to the fark 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 i think the victor 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 power i don't think
12:07 pm
that's necessary for the last was going to happen. you're with me still got plenty more ahead for you this hour including. thousands are flooding out of the metro ready to fill up the eighty five thousand feet luzhniki stadium for tonight's u two concert. the head of russia's federal security service says newly discovered don't commence link the man believed to be behind the mosque. with international terrorist organizations with the evidence was found. killed in a special operation and weak. housen ruled out publishing the documents by gallup all thought was a fool to have planned the deadly twin blasts in moscow in march that killed forty and injured a one hundred he was on the federal and international wanted list for over two years. or more than forty people have been killed in
12:08 pm
a string of bombings that have rocked iraq in baghdad alone over twenty bombs exploded and twelve separate incidents where the attacks come just a day after the u.s. announced it had withdrawn the last of its combat troops however fifty families and remain to advise around the forces although it's the lowest number of soldiers since the start of the warranty of the three but today's bombings are raising questions of iraqi government's ability to deal with going insurgency. in the arab noisy c.c.h. and says the bombings may actually be the iraqi government's way to get u.s. troops to stay. there are a variety of reasons why it should happen and various theories but one of the i think one of the more credible one is that the government is actually involved itself in it in order to prevent the americans from pulling out or at least the troops they leave they must be engaged in military and use of force not just
12:09 pm
training as it was claimed by the americans although people are talking about forming a government whether it's allawi whether it's meineke and what have you that is really not the situation iraq has been dismantled there is no government there is no authority in iraq the prime minister cannot leave the green zone there is no military or police in iraq because they are all militias who have been recruited to wear the same uniform but that allegiance is not a national one but their allegiance either to their faction or to their group or to their tribe. now trying to establish democracy by military force is a task so you says a political theorist dong dong who believes the process of change must be peaceful where you can watch the full interview later this hour but here's a quick preview. so democratization you could say is progress towards a very good outcome which hasn't actually come out anywhere in the world so far so
12:10 pm
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 action of that kind. of bombing countries. invading them without informing also. practices of most of their inhabitants. of the. new afghanistan which isn't really under any one ever were told promising candidates for rapid democratization it isn't possible to democratize anywhere by bombing that invading it. now the whistle blowing web site that posted more than eighty thousand pentagon falls' online is set to cause
12:11 pm
a stir once again where he has announced it's now going to make public cia papers but it comes while the site's founder remains under investigation in sweden over modest station claims for emmett how the. 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 that 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
12:12 pm
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 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 julian assange and his team started when they may be originally now ready to put them out or whether this 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 in a rest warranted been issued for a soldier in sweden to swedish women and women came forward one of them said that
12:13 pm
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 charges already be. 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 from a station it's possible that this was done to deflect attention from this sexual charge that he may have to face. new york mayor michael bloomberg says plans to build a mosque just two blocks from the nine eleven site shows a commitment to american values that's what his old gas and. attended by muslim community has. basically defined as they were over the project with some claiming the same is driven by politicians hoping to gain votes in upcoming elections. if

glance but actually the reasons for the decline are mainly expected by us and by the market and so i think about all the another moment a largely up price at the moment so we should not expect any significant pressure on the burbank surprise because for the first. russia is parting to so fragile bones with a ten month expiry date it will be the shortest the government has issued in seven years the finance ministry is optioning a roughly one a billion dollars of the paper it's turning to short to maturities as investors have demanded higher yields to counter the risk of rising inflation the worst drought for fifty years is expected to significantly outta food prices for the rest of the. ukraine is once again raising the thorny issue of the price it pays for russian gas the country's prime minister nikolai as zorro told his cabinet the
