in the rescue mission to retrieve the shit start brushing. plays with the ice but is now close to achieving that final share. of the business mergers and acquisitions activity him more than double the twenty ten poor in twenty minutes. very warm welcome to you this is all to do you love me from moscow with me allies have but the wiki leaks founder has appeared in a long time course as he continues his battle against a extradition today in the films he is wanted in sweden to face a sex crime allegations will that laura measures close some developments for us let's pause live to her now laura it was a relatively short hearing wasn't it do we know what happened. it was

a relatively short hearing as we expected it would be it was essentially what they call a case management hearing today which is when they set the date for the main hearing and just check that all the evidence is in course of being prepared in a timely fashion which we do now know when the full extradition extradition hearing is going to be that's going to take place on the seventh and eighth of february so we've got to wait another sort of three weeks for for the full hearing to happen judy that's all it is here he was here in court and we are now waiting for him to make a short statement either him or one of his lawyers we are expecting to appear very shortly about sort of fifty yards behind me and i'm joined to talk more about the details of this case by gerald batten who's a member of the european parliament for the u.k. independence party he's also a very imminent opponent of the european arrest warrant which is of course the legality under which julian's ourselves his extradition to sweden is being requested joe budden thanks very much for talking to us hi now you have sat in on

europe a european arrest warrant hearings before what took place today i don't this is a technical hearing that i just set the conditions for biologically so you can live anywhere. and this is as you say this i very quickly but i've sat through quite a few of these hearings now and listen to what happens and of course there are very narrow grounds for opposing an arrest warrant and what most people don't realize is what it's come out in this case because it's a high profile is that the court cannot consider the evidence against the accused person in fact it's not extradition anymore it's now called judicial surrender because it's based on this concept of mutual recognition which means every legal system across the european union is deemed to be equally valid as any other and now it's just a bit like transporting a person from one county in the u.k. in england to another one so we now know that the main hearing is going to be on the seventh and eighth of february what what do you expect to happen that will you see if the lawyers on mr sanchez side try to challenge the evidence against him which i may do and say well it's not sufficient to justify extradition. judicial

surrender as it now is all the judge can say is well i'm not allowed to consider the evidence i'm not allowed to take into account the only grounds that you can oppose extradition very narrow you have to be old enough to committed the crime it has to be not a distant past you know twenty five years or something and it mustn't be because you're being prosper security on the grounds of your political or sexual orientation very narrow grounds like that which he won't qualify for and of course i have sat through a case where it seemed fairly obvious to the core and indeed to the judges hearing the appeal that the evidence had been manufactured by the police now the court in that case did what i thought at the time was quite a clever thing which is they said well does that amount of process of the european arrest warrant they referred it to the house of lords and it was one of the last decisions that the house of lords my before it was replaced by the supreme court and i think probably the most cynical decision they ever made in

a long history of cynical decisions but i decided they weren't going to consider it because it wasn't in the public interest that i do you expect them to sidestep extraditing us are in such a way that's my feeling of what will probably happen here is they will come up with some kind of a cynical fix to actually get around this because the problem with this case it's got it's much bigger than mistress it's about the fact that because it's an internationally known case now it's obvious to anybody that switches on the t.v. and watches russia today or anything else that the court cannot consider the quality of the evidence against the accused person and we can be shipped off to any country in the european union purely on the basis of a piece of paper it's been reduced to a mere bureaucratic formality and the court cannot protect our rights magna carta corpus bill of rights all being swept out of the window but of course another important element in this particular case is this pressure that we understand is coming from the us to eventually extradite our stars there to face espionage charges what do you think that will bring oh yes i'm sure there's lots of political

maneuvering powers. very difficult position the americans want to get their hands on a song which the authorities now think the game's up people can see what european arrest warrants are. so my guess is i know what they're going to do but i'm fairly confident that they're going to come up with some kind of cynical fix that will allow him either to go back to australia or possibly to go back momentarily to sweden if some kind of deal is done about what charges will be laid against him but i'm sure this whole pub media publicity about the european arrest because this is just this there are other legal instruments coming through which remove freedoms in other areas of life all done in the name of integrating europe's legal systems all right joe biden thank you very much that member of the european parliament gerald batts and we'll be back here of course on the seventh and eighth of february to track what's happening in the main extradition hearing ok laura many thanks to you and your gas there in many thanks. well still to come on the

program where angry birds call rhetoric turns into our. politicians and green turns into a blood well off analysts tell us what they think drove a government to kill. and try to assassinate a congresswoman. on the price of royalty how trying to secure the afghan militias against the taliban is instead creating more instability. a former cia operative who is wanted in venezuela cuba for terrorist attacks throughout latin america has gone on trial in the u.s. but that's not far because court instead he's being charged with lying to immigration offices. of islam is there why the u.s. is turning a blind eye to an alleged terror. miami

florida white sandy beaches miniskirts and bikini. this vacation spot is also home to a convicted international terrorist luis posada could be less coined the bin ladden of the americas the anti castro cuban was the cia's dirty secret in south and central america trained as an explosives expert at the notorious school of the americas posada's acts of terrorism spanned five decades and impacted half a dozen countries. over seventy people were killed when cuban airliner for fifty five was bombed in one thousand nine hundred seventy six a terrorist act posada plans from venice walla and according to cia documents the agency was aware of it before it happened it was a mastermind of the. flight and still he's here

posada was convicted in absentia and then a swell of masterminding the bombing however not only did the u.s. government refused to extradite posada to venezuela to serve his term the cia continued to employ him as a key element of the contra wars which clean lines of seventy thousand civilians in nicaragua. he was a leading figure in the iran contra affair in the one nine hundred eighty s. had the cia stop assad in his tracks just off my shoes my brother was killed in libya the still most brother fabio would still be alive put yourself in the place of the else as a victim of the family victim of terrorism and it's absurd distil know an italian businessman was murdered in one nine hundred ninety seven bombing orchestrated by posada it was one of a string of hotel and nightclub bombings in cuba distil no describes as a monster created by a country that is. government officials to push their agenda are

willing to go. anywhere in your vote after jailing poseidon upon entering the u.s. illegally law enforcement agencies warned the justice department of poseidon's terrorist past but he was set free anyway was now prosodic is on trial in el paso texas the charges against him not international terrorism but immigration fraud and perjury we unleashed him on the world peter kornbluh of the national security archives obtained dozens of documents pertaining to preside his involvement with the cia he says the case is about whether the united states truly can hold real terrorists although in this case a terrorist who was once our terrorist accountable livio acknowledges the importance of poseidon on trial but insists it's going to be too little too late and it wasn't the only acts of terrorism façade it was involved in there was the

two thousand assassination attempt on cuban leader fidel castro and a series of attacks across latin america the legacy of luis posada is that he is a cia created frankenstein and he went out and committed murder and mayhem the cia once described posada as a reliable asset to the u.s. government a man of good character pro-u.s. who would make an excellent official in a post castro government their evaluation of him could not have been more mistaken half a century after posada could be less again doing the cia's dirty work in latin america his bloody legacy lives on for the countless victims and as the u.s. government continues to fight the so-called war on terrorism extraditing kidnapping and assassinating suspects in other countries it continues to harbor one of the hemisphere's most notorious terrorists are t. washington d.c. . now around one hundred activists gathered for

a symbolic people's tribunals as of monday's trial to hit terrorism charges against the son of the and his accomplices and he will come paying a brine that bacco was all say that he believes the wanted man is being protected by american interests. the american government has harbored terrorism they finance terrorism luis posada carriles is there a terrorist who's been protected particularly by the bush family he was imprisoned in venezuela but escaped his imprisonment now venezuela is that many and he'd be extradited and yet the united states government won't extradite him. because they say they fear that the venezuelan government will torture luis posada it's nonsense is just shows the absolute hostility towards a venezuelan government towards the cuban revolution and of course showing the world that the united states is above the law above international law there is no good reason moral reason political reason or legal reason not to extradite luis

posada carriles to venezuela where he escaped from prison for blowing up a civilian airliner that had cuban athletes on it now a refrigerator vessel has been transported to safer waters by two ice breaking ships off russia's far east they're now heading for as the point ship stranded for almost a fortnight with more than three hundred crew on board while several other vessels have been rescued over the past week altie sarah furthur is the latest details. certainly welcome to the crew a large supply vessel as the two ice breakers growth and crosses and heading back towards the no it's a slight change in strategy that we've seen in the final stages of this rescue operation we saw in the early hours of yesterday morning they managed to free up the small refrigerator and they started doing that all of yesterday and today tools . but what happened earlier today was that they managed to dispatch a helicopter pick hydrologists from the album micro icebreaker and they managed to

see the area idolize the ice play and they managed to find a safe spot to leave this refrigerated vessel and that's freed up these two icebreakers to now pay back the same way they've come down which means they can avoid having to break free for their eyes coming back making their way back to the largest supply vessel we had stand a press conference a federal fishing agency say the final part now going of freeing up this large ship is going to be the most difficult. reconnaissance helicopter sent by the emergencies ministry was observed to the canals which before would regularly freeze over and i'm clear in stable the ice breakers compton's have decided to turn around and come back for the supply ship leaving the refrigerator vessel for now to try and get the supply ship out the operation has now entered its final and most difficult stage according to our calculations it will conclude within forty eight

hours first to get both ships out. now the estimate as to when the final operation is going to be finished still very dependent on these weather conditions that we seeing you know about the whole operation that is really being very tricky for the break as they come up very late temperatures incredibly because. they've now been able to continue back along the path they'd already broken not. so it's now entering the final stages and it. will soon come to an end place where the vessels are stuck with the current bay is knowing being an incredibly dangerous marine area and the reason that a lot of the ships travel into that area is because of the large profits but for now nhtsa not having many of. the eyes being incredibly thick as he said the weather conditions recently have was to these conditions but there have certainly been questions also as to why exactly the buses with the head of course as we said it's not and. this is been

a long rescue operation and every day the supply vessel the incredibly large the blood vessel if it's close to fifty thousand dollars so it's an incredibly expensive operation at the moment the everest fishing authority will be picking up the bill for the rescue operation the once and other such big questions to the companies and the vessels as to why the ships with whether they take an adverse risk into sending them into the area and then possibly they'll be a mine on the back but at the moment of course i really the focus now is on making their way back to that supply ship getting it free and they'll then be joining up with the refrigerated vessel that they've left and getting both of a shit together to if you will says. from the seat of our lives to all the snow in just a few weeks in siberia. running around one of the coldest regions of the planet is not an easy task i'm sure atomicity you are good here and

coming up we'll show you how it's done. ok a twenty two year old man charged with attempting to assassinate a u.s. congresswoman and two murders could face life in prison or the death penalty if convicted the court heard jared loughner to be held without bail is accused to all the marking on a shooting rampage outside a supermarket in the state of arizona democrats gabrielle giffords was shot in the head and remains in a critical condition a nine year old girl and a district judge were among six antiwar activists david swanson blames american mass media for raising violence as they also solving society's problems. we do condition people to engage in this kind of violence in our wars and occupations and then we don't on condition them to live again back home but it's it's not just veterans it's americans from all backgrounds we don't we don't have

mental health services we don't treat drug abuse as something to be cured we don't provide health care we don't provide job security we don't provide the things people needed terms of education in terms of nonviolent resolution of conflict because largely because we're driving all of the money into those who have too much of it already and the war machine and through the war machine we're educating people through our criminal justice system and the death penalty we're educating people through everything that our government does to handle problems and everything that hollywood movies tell us solve problems we're teaching people that violence is the answer and of course it isn't because we make guns so readily available the violence is more deadly it's an incredibly destructive state that is part of the mentality that drives the wars that our criminal justice system and our intertainment and everything about our culture is just saturated with violence . the u.s.

army is training militia guns to secure out both afghanistan's most dangerous areas for a few dollars a month washington hopes to keep the fighters on side and up against the taliban but. found out their loyalty is not so easily bought. as the southern gateway to kabul and home to a long stretch of afghanistan's national highway has been the focal point of the taliban's comeback in recent years in early two thousand and nine overstretched afghan forces were struggling to hold back some military planners decided to raise a local militia to help cover the most dangerous gaps sides a kia quit a better paying job to join because he was tired of the fighting around his village in the valley nicknamed by u.s. troops the valley of death for its deadly ambushes and firefights mike. the situation was bad here and i needed to do something for my family before it gets worse. there are hundreds of militiamen like him spread across wardak province now

the afghan government and u.s. military are about to launch dozens of new militias in hotspots around the country the minute this outpost were trained for three weeks by american special forces units if you kalashnikov rifles and are paid about two hundred dollars a month to keep watch over the community they are approved by the village elders and they work within the district there from which gives them not only do they understand the dynamics and the people that they're working with their understand the community and and the threat in the area two years ago it was a taliban stronghold where u.s. forces and armored vehicles came under fierce attack nearly every time they tried to drive through it today attacks are rare and afghan local militia travel freely in pickup trucks from the beginning however critics have argued that arming militias in place of government forces could create vigilante groups which are impossible to control militia forces will be loyal to the government in kabul with the president karzai they will certainly be loyal to those who would be able to replace united states financing the former head of the program in wardak

a shady ex taliban commander named mohammed has already been replaced some u.s. officials privately suspected he was playing both sides and of the twelve hundred men that began the program nearly four hundred have quit taking their weapons with them. it's believed that dozens of joined the insurgency if the militia continues to be under-resourced or their governor hoping for the worse it could backfire to the taliban's advantage these forces if they have not supported india not a decorative resource it could be used against the government because he will join those groups who can support them elsewhere in afghanistan government backed militias stand accused of murder theft and rape in northern province locals say they are worse than the taleban with support for the war effort flagging u.s. military is looking for a quick fix of forces to leave but hasty decisions risk making a bad situation worse it is more militias are raised in the year ahead it appears

there will be more risks to manage jason more in the job his value for team. life is tough and remote eastern siberia hardly surprising for a place which is arguably the coldest and how to reach an awful of all things on time without reports record here i mean the local time a lot of gets frozen finke says so there are evolves it. stream temperatures call for extreme modes of transportation if you are already one of the coldest regiment of quite we've started to pick our form of transportation and map paradigms. fact. i'm on the lawyer these ducks can live in an extremely harsh environment they can stand easily winter temperatures going up from minus fifty to minus sixty degrees the strong winds and very hot summer temperatures from plus thirty to plus forty degrees celsius about their well adapted to the local climate like it was perhaps because of their versatility travelling long ago became part of
