portuguese authorities refute speculation the country is going to ask for a multi billion euro bailout but experts say it will do little to shore up the faltering single currency. wiki leaks founder julian assange has appeared in a u.k. court as he fights extradition to sweden of a sexual assault allegations which he claims are politically motivated plus.

a break in the rest. of russia's place with the ice breaking now close to achieving that final say. hello this is r t it's now ten pm here in moscow. and our top story the portuguese finance minister says he doesn't expect lisbon to ask for a bailout to resolve its economic problems senior officials in the country been resolutely denying media rumors that portugal's being pushed to ask for one hundred billion dollar package for the initial advise of marco petro polly says the bailouts won't solve the fundamental flaws in the concept of the eurozone. this is not in any kind a way a final solution for the european debt crisis it is just buying time for these

countries so that hopefully they will be able to get in control of their fiscal situation and the markets will start to to believe in them again that they're able to service their debt moving forward in reality what's happening is burdening this country with these countries a lot more debt to service and the jury is still out on whether they can actually turn their fiscal position around over the next few years you can't save all the banks and save all the countries because at some point someone's got to fire or or which is the other option which we've been pursuing so far is that we just carry on printing money and everybody carry on printing money and we end up with hyperinflation and most currencies then become worthless so at some stage someone's got to fail but what we're doing is patching up patching up patching up hoping that the issue's going to go away pushing the can further down the road now the europeans have to start thinking about complete reform of the european structure.

as marketer polish speaking to be earlier all of what portugal rolls over its economic woes or there's been more practical most comes from stacy herbert hear how one european governments incited the wrath of fiendish powers with its new net tax because reports on the air and i was time. media switches curse income tax ruling so because of the financial crisis and the collapse of the banking systems and g.d.p. is around the world romania's government has started taxing which is a fortune teller's from the first of january of this year and because of this the witches are basically cursing the government now queen which brought terror because there is fear it's about the new law and she says that she plans to cast a spell using a particularly effective concoction of cat excrement and a dead dog just what the government collateralized debt obligation most of it is cat. ekstrom it and then dogs this is what they're finding the federal reserve bank's balance sheet in washington the reason why they're afraid to do an audit at

the request of ron paul is because they know that they've got basically dead beetles eye of newt some old chicken bones some dead cat extra meant that's about all they've got of the federal reserve because the u.s. is technically. insolvent and so these witches are fighting fire with fire yeah they're fighting extreme it with dog poop. ahead of the program lost in the u.k. authorities have no record of thousands of asylum seekers and why that happened and what it means for the country's security. first the wiki leaks founder briefly appeared in a london court as he continues his battle against extradition julian assange just wanted in sweden to face sex crime allegations which he claims have been fabricated in order to eventually be prosecuted when i speak i was challenges in the u.s. or emmett's following developments. it was essentially what they call a case management herring 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 we do know know when the full extradition extradition hearing is going to be that is 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 and julian assange has appeared in court on tuesday for this case management hearing after it was a that he made a short statement to the media outside let's hear what he had to say 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 assange is 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 a rest warrant on sexual assault allegations made by two film a wiki leaks supporters 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 valium and opponent of the european arrest warrant which is of course the legality under way students ourselves his extradition to sweden is being requested joe budden thanks very much for talking to us 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 so i try to challenge the evidence against him which i might do and say well it's not sufficient to justify extradition of judicial surrenders and now it's all the chance. to consider the evidence are 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 won't qualify for and of course i have sat through a case where it seemed fairly obvious to the court 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 us are there to face espionage charges what do you think that will bring oh yes i'm sure there's lots of political maneuvering inside the powers that be a 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 the european arrest warrants are about we don't want. quite know what they're going to do but i'm fairly confident that they're going to come up with come sometime in a cynical fix that will allow him either to go back to australia or possibly to go

back to sweden if some kind of deal is done about what charges will be laid against him but what they'll want to do i'm sure is put to bed this whole pub media publicity about the european arrest 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. thoughts there of joe patton member of the european parliament talking to r.t. is nor am it in london a bit earlier. the work of the u.k.'s border agency has been slammed in a report by british m.p.'s the documents suggest at least sixty thousand asylum seekers will be left to live illegally in the united kingdom because the agency's lost all trace of them robin simcox a research fellow at the center for social cohesion told me the situation results from the u.k.'s open door policy and its obligations as an e.u. member. britain is essentially lost control of who is coming into the country and

once you can secure your borders you can't secure your country this is a outrageous situation that's allowed to develop i think is a huge problem with the britains inability to deport generally. being part of the european union we often can't deport people but country of origin because it may contravene the european convention on human rights on top of this there's a systemic problem where the huge backlog of cases and we have something like a half a million backlog of cases simply can't be processed and can't be dealt with quickly enough so you have a lot of people and that's the migration last year into the u.k. was around two hundred thousand people more coming to the u.k. than leaving it. on top of the asylum seekers and the backlog and of course going to have a massive problem we just need to be much much stricter criteria on who should be allowed into the u.k. and i don't think we've got it in control in anywhere near enough because it is that. you want to go to from all over the program we look at how a country. terrorists appears to show. the us is protecting

a former cia agent who is wanted in latin america for deadly terror attacks. that have reached a fifth and final ship that's been stranded for almost a fortnight off russia's far east coast with more than three hundred crew still aboard it comes after successfully towed a reef ship to safer waters artie's the details of this rescue operation. it's like a change in strategy that we've seen in the final stages. in the early hours yesterday morning they. started throwing all of yesterday and today so was. that what happened earlier today was that they mounted a helicopter. in the. ice breaker. he the area idolized the ice and they managed to find distasteful to leave this

refrigerator and that's freed up. to now the same. which means they can avoid having to break through their eyes coming back we had standard press conference. the final part now going a freeing up. is going to be the most difficult. reconnaissance helicopter to send by the emergencies ministry is observed through the canals which before would regularly freeze over and i'm clearing. 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 now they estimate the final operation. still very dependent on these weather conditions that the whole operation that is really being very tricky as they come up very late credibly.

they've now been able to continue along the path they've already. it's now entering the final stages. half of the frozen waters of russia's far east the freezing lot of eastern siberia next we'll take you there a few minutes. getting around one of the coldest region from the planet is not an easy task i'm sure thomas in new york could hear him coming up we'll show you how it's done. a former cia agent alleged to be one of the most notorious terrorists in recent history is going on trial in the united states luis posada is wanted in cuba and venezuela for masterminding a number of deadly terror attacks including with one nine hundred seventy six bombing of a passenger plane which killed over seventy people but none of these episodes are among the charges he faces in the u.s. right now. explains more. miami florida

rights. these methods of interrogation the enhanced interrogation techniques as they're so referred did not happen to the minority they happen to the majority so what happens is you get instructors who are interrogators and guards who are trained in these techniques that are actually used in military training to help army men and women in interrogation being used on these men in guantanamo bay so the majority of our clients have had at least one of the techniques used on them while they're illegal under the geneva conventions the geneva conventions afford prisoners of war their right to be treated humanely and without degradation but unfortunately in two thousand and two after the prison first opened george bush declared that these men were not prisoners of war they were enemy combatants and therefore did not honor the geneva conventions we still hold that this is a legal and if it's not illegal it's completely immoral anyways.
