and r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your hand. pushing on the dot com.

news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporation to rule the day. with leaks found again faces british judges to fight his extradition to sweden insisting the sex claim charges are a cover to get him sent to america. this comes on the fire is one of his own purposes goes to court for minor offenses despite being wanted for a string of terror time sound. a breakthrough in the rescue mission to

retrieve the shit star of russia's gone east place with the icebreakers now close to achieving that m final share. a very warm welcome to this is our live from moscow with me. fussin sol the wiki leaks founder has appeared in a london court continuing his bottle against extradition julian all songs promises to post details of his defense later and will face judges again next month a phone is wanted in sweden to face sex crime allegations more evidence keeping a close on development it was essentially what they call a case management haring today which is when they set the date for the main herring and just check that all the evidence is in course of being prepared in

a timely fashion which we do know 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 herring to happen judy in our solar schools here in court we are happy about today's outcome. i have the court to make available to members of the press. skeleton. argument which we've had to produce in very short time over christmas what happened before christmas was that julian ourselves was released on bail that happened around about the middle of december after after a fight really to be released on bail in the end the bail sum was set at over three hundred thousand dollars and he's been staying at a friend's house in the east of england ever since then waiting for this extradition to happen and that of course follows the issuing by sweden of

a european arrest warrants on sexual assault allegations made by two former wiki leaks supporters i'm joined to talk more about the details of this case by baton 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 way students ourselves as extradition to sweden is being requested joe budden thanks very much for talking to us hi we now know that the main hearing is going to be on the seventh and eighth of february what do you expect to happen that will you see if the lawyers on mr sanchez so i try to challenge the evidence against him which i may do and say well it's not sufficient to justify extradition judicial surrenders 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 processed persecuted on the grounds of your political or sexual orientation very narrow grounds like that which he was qualified for and of course i have searched for a case where it seemed fairly obvious to the cool and indeed to the judges hearing the appeal that the evidence had been manufactured by the police but of course another important element in this particular case is this pressure that we understand is coming from the u.s. to eventually extradite ourselves that to face espionage charges what would you think that will yes i'm sure there's lots of political maneuvering. the powers that be a very difficult position the americans want to get their hands on the sound authorities now think the game's up people can see what european arrest warrants are. so my guesses are quite know what they're going to do but i'm fairly confident that they're going to come up with come some kind of cynical fix that will allow him are they 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 what they want

today i'm sure is put to bed this whole problem media publicity about the european arrest warrant because this is just this there are other legal instruments coming through which remove our freedoms in other areas of life all done in the name of integrating europe's legal systems while still to come on the program when angry political rhetoric turns into our page. turns into a bloodbath analysts tell us what they think drove a government to kill six. and eight congresswoman. the point of loyalty how trying to secure the regions about missions against the taliban is instead creating a more instability. a former cia operative who is wanted in venezuela and cuba for terrorist attacks throughout latin america has gone on trial in the u.s. but that's not why the list is in court instead he is being charged with lying to

immigration offices you hand her face looks good why the u.s. is turning a blind eye to other that to terrorists. miami florida white sand beaches miniskirts and bikini. this vacation spot is also home to a convicted international terrorist luis posada could be less coined the bin laden 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 spend five decades it 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 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 him stenchy and then a swell of masterminding the bombing however not only did the u.s. government refused to extradite decided to venice twyla to serve his term the cia continued to employ him as a key element in 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 my brother was killed in libya distil most brother fabio would still be alive put yourself in the place of the us and the victim of the family victim of terrorism and it's absurd distil know an italian businessman was murdered in one thousand nine hundred seven bombing

orchestrated by posada it was one of a string of hotel and nightclub bombings in cuba distil know describes as a monster created by a country that is. government officials to push their agenda are willing to go for it after jailing posidon upon entering the u.s. illegally law enforcement agencies warned the justice department a poseidon's terrorist past but he was set free anyway was now posada 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 posada on trial but insists it's going to be too little too late and it wasn't the only acts of terrorism plus side who 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 career less began 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. . a refrigerator vessel has been. supporters say forces by two ice breaking ships on russia's far east they're now heading poor supply ship stranded for most of four lives with more than three hundred crew onboard several other vessels have been rescued over the past week on their fur that is details. certainly welcome to the crew a large supply vessel as the two icebreakers. 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'd managed to free up the refrigerator and they started fighting that all of yesterday and today tools. but what happened earlier today was that they mounted

a helicopter pick hydrologists from the album marker of icebreaker and they managed to see the area idolize the ice play and they managed to find distasteful to leave this refrigerated vessel and that's freed up these two icebreakers to now pay back the same way they come down which means they can avoid having to break free further ice coming back so they'll be making their way back to the largest supply vessel that we had to attend 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. to use a reconnaissance helicopter sent by the emergencies ministry was observed to the canals which before would regularly freeze and i'm clear in. 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 you are now the estimates as to when the final operation is going to be finished still very dependent on these weather conditions that the whole operation that is really being very tricky for these icebreakers they've come up against very late temperatures incredibly. bit as they've now been able to continue back along the path they do not. so it's now entering the final stages and it. will soon come to a 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 we said the weather conditions recently have was and these conditions but there have certainly been questions as to why exactly that but with and of course as we said it's not

and. this is being alone a rescue operation and every day that that's the five vessel the incredibly large the blood vessel is 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 once and other such. questions to the company as to why the ship whether they take an adverse risk into sending them into the area and then possibly they'll be of mine on the back but at the moment of course really the focus now is on making their way back to that supply ship getting it will then be joining up with the refrigerated vessel that they've left and getting both of a shit together. from a sea of olives to a wall of just a few minutes as he takes new iberia. going around one of the coldest regions of the planet is not and he returns from shore thomas and your crew here

coming up we'll show you how it's done. a twenty two year old man chunk of attempting to assassinate a u.s. congressman congresswoman to a mode this could face life in prison or the death penalty if convicted who would charge them to be held without bail he's accused been barking on a shooting rampage outside to see market in the state of arizona. gabrielle giffords was shot in the heads and remains in critical condition i'm not. a district judge were among the six. p.r. consultant t.j. ward says this incident could fall with politicians to distance themselves from public appearance. there's going to be so much more scrutiny for people going to public events the average congressman for years has received death threats these are usually just from kooks and not taken very seriously well now they take on

a whole new light and i predict many members of congress are going to be much more skeptical about public speaking events they're going to want the trappings of a presidential speaking event presidents have these elaborate security mechanisms they have security guards secret service they have metal detectors to detect guns so you know unfortunately it's going to really shut down a lot of the communication voters have with their elected officials because that elected officials in america are now running scared americans have passionate love affair and it's basically politically impossible for any politician to try to propose limiting handguns you know just recently rules were rewritten to let people bring guns into schools in arizona so that is an extraordinarily difficult political challenge because the gun lobby basically controls congress in america and the legislatures as well so it is going to be tough what i do predict is you're

going to see some change in the rhetoric of american politicians. the u.s. army is training molest again here and afghanistan's most dangerous areas for a few dollars a month washington hype to keep the fight is on fire now against the taliban but as the most leg of. their loyalty isn't so easily. 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 but we're stretched afghan forces were struggling to hold back so military planners decided to raise a local militia to help cover the most dangerous gaps sides a key or quit a better paying job to join because he was tired of the fighting around his village in the jar is valued nickname 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 would train for three weeks by american special forces units if you collage and called 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 of 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 in the 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 or to

president karzai they will certainly be loyal to those who would be able to reap. the united states in terms of financing the former head of the program in wardak shady ex taliban commander. has already been replaced some u.s. officials privately suspected he was playing both sides 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 join the insurgency if the militia continues to be under resourced or that governor whom for the worse it could back fire to the taliban's advantage these forces if they're not supported or not a decorative resource could be used against the government because he will join those groups who can support those who are in afghanistan government backed militias stand accused of murder theft and rape in northern province local 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 is value for our team. is this. risk been in place itself for the worst floods in over three decades heavy rain squalls move is to swell and bracing with the strain is third largest city officials one that well over six thousand properties may be and on days to the next few days at that seeing as how my thirteen thousand people raging at torrents of constricting through eastern australia to see winds heaving at least ten people dead there to seventy missing. portugal's being forced to refute claims that it's next in line for an e.u. bailout as its economy ceases on collapse the country's borrowing rates jumped to
