start of russia's far east place with the icebreakers now cause to achieving that final. this is r.t. is what i am here in moscow over the morning when i was kevin zero in our top story the wiki leaks founder briefly appeared in a london court as he continues his battle against extradition. wanted in sweden to face sex crime allegations which he claims have been fabricated in order to eventually prosecuted one espionage charges in the u.s. it's been following the 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 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 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 which was released on bail out 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 warrants 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 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 chance. 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 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 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 ceasars 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 me. so my guess is our cars 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 momentarily to sweden if some kind of deal is done about what charges will be

laid against him but what we'll want to do i'm sure is put to bed this whole pub 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 all right joe biden thank you very much that member of the european parliament gerald batten will be back here of course on the seventh and eighth of february to track what's happening in the main extradition hearing. here they're reporting for us the portuguese finance minister says lisbon will not ask for a bailout result would see economic problems media reports claim the country is being pressured to apply for one hundred billion dollars rescue package as the financial advisor marco pierre troll pauli says a bailout wouldn't solve the fundamental flaws of 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 control of their fiscal situation and the markets will start to to believe in them again that they are able to service their debt moving forward in reality what's happening is burden in 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 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 a complete reform of the european structure. well portugal mulls over its economic

woes others have been more practical mikes kaiser and stacy herbert hear how one european governments incited the wrath of fiendish powers with its new tax net carbs report on euro shortly. really which is curse income tax ruling so because of the financial crisis and the collapse of the banking systems and g.d.p.'s around the world romania's government has started taxing witches and fortune tellers from the first of january this year and because of this the witches are basically cursing the government now a queen which brought her a boo is 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 yet well goldman sachs collateralized debt obligation most of it is cat extreme it and 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 beatles eye of newt

some old chicken bones some dead cat extra meant that's about all they 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. much more of that in twenty five minutes be watching r t also in the program we look at how a country bent on fighting terrorists appears to be sheltering one inside the u.s. accused of protecting a former cia agent is wanted in latin america for deadly terror attacks details coming up. two icebreakers have reached the last ship now that's been stranded from a fortnight off russia's far east coast with more than three hundred crew still aboard it comes off they successfully towed a smaller vessel to safety earlier on sarah firth 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 they've managed to free up the small refrigerator vessel and they've started throwing all of yesterday and today tools. but what happened was that they managed to dispatch a helicopter that picks hydrologist from the album marker of ice breaker and they managed to see the area idolise the ice and they managed to find distasteful to leave this refrigerated vessel and that's freed up these two ice breakers to now gave back the same route that they've come down which means they can avoid having to break free further ice coming back we had to attend a press conference a federal fishing agency say this final part now going freeing up this large ship is going to be the most difficult now the estimates as to when the final operation is going to actually be finished still very dependent on these weather conditions that we seeing you know about the whole this operation that is really being very

tricky for these icebreakers they come up against very late temperatures incredibly because. they've now been able to continue back along the path they do already breaking not ice it's now entering the final stages and it's. sort of for a correspondent covering the story now letting you know news coming up later on today international investigators assert to deliver their final report on last april plane crash which killed the polish president lech kaczynski and ninety five of those documents are expected to reveal new facts and point to those responsible for the tragedy i can tell you the food coverage of the results of the investigation will be here on out later wednesday. the tragedy that shocked the world. tends to be which. president. will be. hitting lines in the kaczynski plane crash.

you're watching r.t. from moscow a former cia agent alleged to be one of the most notorious terrorists in recent history has gone on trial in the united states luis posada is wanted in cuba and venezuela for masterminding a number of deadly terror attacks including the one nine hundred seventy six bombing of a passenger plane which killed over seventy people but now these episodes are among the charges he faces in the u.s. . have is explained more. 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 new tory

a school of the americas posada's acts of terrorism spanned 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 walla and according to cia documents the agency was aware of it before it happened this was a mastermind of the. flight and still he's here posada was convicted him stenchy and been a swell of masterminding the bombing however not only did the us government refused to extradite but started 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 my brother was killed in libya distil most brother fabio would still be alive put yourself in the place of the absolute 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 and it wasn't the only acts of terrorism pasado was involved in there was the two thousand assassination attempt on. cuban leader fidel castro in a series of attacks across latin america 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 and he was now the solder 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 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 half a century after post not a career 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. . the work of the u.k.'s border agency has been slammed in are appalled by british m.p.'s the documents suggest at least sixty thousand asylum seekers will be left to live in legally in the united kingdom because the agency has lost all trace of them as part of roman simcox he's a research fellow at the center for social cohesion he told me the situation results from yukos open door policy and its obligations as a new you 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 why there's a huge problem with the britains 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 that's immigration last year into the u.k. was around two hundred thousand people more coming to the u.k. than leaving it churning out that on top of the asylum seekers and the backlog and of course we're going to have a massive problem we just need to be much stricter laydown 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. world use in brief marty evacuation routes are under way for years with this capital but it's bracing itself for its worst flooding in over a century with a brisbane river overflowing its banks and flood waters rising officials are warning that the country's third largest city could be inundated in the next few days affecting some fifty thousand people it follows a violent wave of flash floods the deluge the town in queensland killing at least

the u.s. and russia it's now the third country to put a stealth prototype into the air as well the recent poll coffee's director of russia's center for the analysis of strategies and technologies who says china still has a long way to go before it can boast about having a next generation jet normally every six falling junior issue should be much g. four in capabilities from the previous one it should be multi-functional mulcher all the aircraft which is able to be recalled a sincere craft interceptor girl the dark insults all for the chinese machine we should probably call demonstrate off the norwegian brought prototype because we already had it or were sure both. for his overall they had a prototypes which they used to work on sort of the call just but they never start serial production then there is think this chinese machine they are comparable to

these demonstrators off technologies off to were russian design gurus then the real current american on the russian craft is tuesday marked nine years since the opening of the u.s. detention center in guantanamo bay cuba we turn the spotlight next on washington's controversial practice is there are talks to quote the bush human rights lawyer who reviews cases of camp delta around international secret prisons.

bush thanks very much for talking to us now you've recently come back from guantanamo bay tell me a bit about what you saw there what the conditions were like unfortunately we no longer meet the prisoners in the camps so we don't see the conditions in the camps any longer what we do is meet them in a separate holding camp whereby were brought in the detainees are brought in separately and we meet in trailers so what we know is way we hear from them and what the conditions are like unfortunately there is a lot of building work going on in guantanamo right now which leads us to believe that it's nowhere near closing as obama promised back in two thousand and nine when he took office a lot of the details that we've heard about the treatment that terror suspects have been subjected to in guantanamo bay has been truly shocking i'm talking about waterboarding and other forms of torture have you met people who were subjected to these forms of interrogation absolutely these these methods of interrogation the

enhanced interrogation techniques as they are so referred did not happen to the minority they happen to the majority so what happens is you get instructors who are interrogating guards who are trained in these techniques that are actually use in military training to help army men and women resist interrogation being used on these men in guantanamo bay what does reprise make of these methods of interrogation from a legal perspective. well they're illegal under the geneva conventions the geneva conventions afford prisoners of war their right to be treated humanely and without degradation these treatments obviously do not stand up to this standard of treatment it is illegal 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 fall under the geneva conventions we still hold that this is a legal and if it's not illegal it's completely immoral anyways there are one

hundred seventy three prisoners left in guantanamo bay what are the stories give me some examples of what some of the most opposed to a lot of them are ridiculous charges as for instance running away from the incoming northern alliance well that's because the northern alliance is bombing the cities they're in so obviously they're running away from the bombings and the conflict that of course is now being held against them as a charge and holding it up to say that they're terrorists you have people who have lost their passports or are on forged passports for asylum reasons and this is being held as proof as they're terrorists so it's a lot of different charges you have associations which in in laws not supposed to convict you is not a sign of guilt but it is in their cases what's the purpose of your work there and do you feel that you are able to sort of progress towards your goal to make a difference our goal is obviously to find a safe home for every man and get them released from guantanamo unfortunately we

keep hitting walls for instance we've always held that people who won their hadiths cases about it is people who have been declared by the courts that they've been held illegally that they would not be forcibly repatriated to countries that will persecutor torture them that they have a better chance of being resettled in a third country that will offer them a good new home unfortunately on thursday farhi who is a devious one or. it was just forcibly repatriated to algeria so that's just another instance of a roadblock that we continuously ran up against closing guantanamo within a year it was one of president obama's campaign promises two years of now paused and it's still open why was this promise broken and can you see any signs of him making good on a part of the problem is that european countries are sick and tired of giving these men homes in the united states has done nothing to offer them the home considering that the united states is the ones who made the problem so obama's kind of run into

this problem where the congress and the american people by large do not want to get mowed detainees brought into the united states but without that he's got nothing to do as for the future of guantanamo it's looking less and less likely that it will be closed any time in the future on thursday he signed the national defense authorization act which is for the fiscal year of two thousand and eleven which made it harder for detainees to be brought to the united states for criminal cases and that's just another roadblock in his closing the camp that we talk a lot about closing guantanamo but at the same time it is at least a detention facility that we know about isn't there a fear that if it was closed detention secret detention would just go underground and that is a worry but that is a worry whether or not one tunnel remains open and united states has used underground prisons for years and we know of these to transfer men to and from before they go to guantanamo they're held in secret prisons or only just finding

out about some of these prisons and facts that were used years and years ago and the united states of course is changing its m.o. in secret detention it's doing proxy detention instead of secret detention so you're always going to run into that whether or not kuantan a mode is open and we've been hearing more and more reports of secret cia facilities in europe do you know about that there are ongoing investigations in many of the eastern europe. countries for instance in lithuania last year there was a parliamentary inquiry which found that there were two secret prisons in the country that held that the secret prisons were probably not used however there is now a prosecutorial inquiry that is still ongoing it started last year and it's still in the process in lithuania we know of some secret prisons in poland so there has definitely been the use of secret prisons in europe it is a current issue where still investigating it we're working with the inquiries were
