3:04 pm
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 file 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 patrick 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.
3:05 pm
and while portugal mulls over its economic woes or there's a bit more practical max kaiser and stacy herbert here who won the european governments incited the wrath of fiendish powers with its new tax net carbs report on it and twenty minutes. of years which is 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 this year and because of this the witches are basically cursing the government now a queen which brought her because there is fear it's about the new law are and she says that she plans to cast a spell using a particularly effective concoction of cash excrement and a dead dog that what the government collateralized debt obligation most of it is cat extreme it and dogs this is what they're fighting the federal reserve. banks' 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 beatles
3:06 pm
eye of newt some old chicken bones some dead cat extra meant that's about all they got of the federal reserve because the us is technically. insolvent and so these witches are fighting fire with fire yeah they're fighting extreme it with dog poop . morris cuz we're friends in this channel in twenty five minutes time ahead before the last in the u.k. authorities have no record of thousands of asylum seekers report on why that happened and what it means for the country's security. first that wiki leaks founder briefly appeared in a london court as he continues his battle against extradition julian assange is wanted in sweden to face sex crime allegations which he claims have been fabricated in order to eventually prosecute him when espionage charges in the u.s. his lawyer emmott's following the developments. it was essentially what they call a case management herring today which is when they set the date for the main
3:07 pm
herring and just check that all the evidence is in course and 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 a record 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 the bail sum was set at over
3:08 pm
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 to film a wiki leaks support says 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 saw try to challenge the evidence against him which i might do and say well it's not sufficient to justify extradition on judicial surrenders and now it's all the charges. to consider the evidence i'm not allowed to take into account the only grounds that you can oppose
3:09 pm
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 prosperous a kitchen on the grounds of your political sexual orientation very narrow grounds like that which he was qualified 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 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 authorities now think the game's up people can see what the european arrest warrants are about. 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
3:10 pm
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 down in the name of integrating europe's legal systems. the european parliament talking to. the work of the u.k.'s border agency has been slammed in a report by british police the documents suggest at least sixty thousand asylum seekers will be left to live illegally in the u.k. because the agencies lost trace of them all robin simcox is a research fellow at the center for social cohesion he told me that the situation is resulting from the u.k. as open door policy and its obligations as an e.u. member britain is essentially lost control of who is coming into the country and
3:11 pm
once you can secure your borders you can't secure your country this is a outrageous situation that's a lot about why there's a huge problem with the britain's inability to deport generally. being part of the european union we often can't deport people but their 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 net immigration last year into the u.k. was around two hundred thousand people more coming to the u.k. than leaving twenty out 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 amount enough because it is a. this is r.t.
3:12 pm
coming up in the program we look at how our country bent on fighting terrorists appears to be sheltering one instead the us accuser protecting a former cia agent who's wanted in latin america for deadly terror attacks we've got the details coming up. two icebreakers of ridged a fifth and final ship now that's been stranded for most of fortnight off russia's far east coast with still more than three hundred crew aboard it comes after successfully towed a reef ship to safer waters earlier. as the details of this ongoing rescue operation. 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 throwing that all of yesterday and today tools. but what happened earlier today was that they mounted a helicopter. just from the album micro icebreaker and they managed to
3:13 pm
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've come which means they can avoid having to break through their eyes coming back we had stand a press conference. this final part now going freeing up this large ship it's 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 now clear unstable 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 the estimate 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
3:14 pm
very tricky for these icebreakers they come up against very late which is incredibly because. they've now been able to continue along the path they'd already broken not ice so it's now entering the final stages and it's. so a furthur correspondent well from a frozen waters of russia's far east to the freezing land of eastern siberia where we take you in a few minutes. running around one of the coldest regions of the planet is not in return after i'm sure thomas in new york could hear it coming up we'll show you how it's done. more news before a former cia agent alleged to be one of the most notorious terrorists in recent history is going on trial in the u.s. who is posada is wanted in cuba and venezuela for busta bombing a number of deadly terror acts including the 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.
