international news live from moscow city center this is our team with me and straight to our breaking news for you this hour wiki leaks founder julian assange has failed to block his extradition from the u.k. to sweden where he will face accusations of sexual misconduct and denies the claims and says they are just politically motivated and very shortly here in. laura smith for more details on this developing breaking news story. now the interstate aviation committee has revealed that the second pilot of the plane that crashed in the russian city of lawful in september showed traces of a strong sedative in his system it is also being said that he has been suffering from a disorder of a movement of coordination here looking at live pictures right now it was also said that the crew had less flight experience operating this particular type of plane.

as we get further details on this here at all at sea we must remind you you're looking at live pictures here as investigators discussing the findings all over the results of the plane crash from so many in fact the entire hockey team ice hockey team were killed and as you can see on the headlines here a strong sleeping pills that it was found in the blood of the plane's copilot more details to come here on our. all right are you with r.t. live from moscow let's let's cross over live now dog lore and for more details and i want to talk about julian. hi laura i know it's very very noisy where you are what is this news mean for a song now that it looks like he's going to be extradited to sweden. laura i think we have been from a difficulty here with very very noisy where you are we can see the big double decker behind you right now we're hearing the breaking news here is that a julian a extradition to sweden has been to block it. what if it fell mean but you know.

well we understand that i'm receiving messages from inside the court where we understand that some of his defense team is calling for fourteen days to appeal this decision again this is a case that we know has been going on the whole of this year and a good proportion of last year as well and it doesn't seem that it's over yet they are arguing for an appeal which is based on criminal principles but the judge according to people who are inside the court doesn't seem to be very keen on granting that he has already said that all full points of us on his defense have been rejected by the court dismissed and they include an allegation that he wouldn't receive a fair trial in sweden and also that the swedish prosecution who issued the european arrest warrant that his extradition is being requested and in fact had no authority to do you say they use those defense points of old being dismissed by the courts now what may happen now is that the what will what will happen now is that

may i ask will ask for permission to appeal to the supreme court which is the highest court here in the u.k. now that permission will only be granted by the high court and the supreme court itself if it based case is deemed to be in the wider public interest suit to include points of law that would appeal not just to stanch itself but to other people as well it's likely that the whole principles of this european arrest warrant would come under scrutiny if this case did go to the supreme court many people in the u.k. would welcome that because they say that this is a system that's unfair that people can be extradited inside europe without a lot of evidence having to be provided and really with very little charge a tool now arsenal's is very likely to try to do that but with it's not clear yet whether that permission will be granted so this is a case which is very much continuing meanwhile of course julian assange has. life

is under threat he has now said that wiki leaks is critically source of funding and may even have to close in the new year so it's not a good day for julian assange as you say laura certainly not the last we're going to hear all of this on going. live in london. with our two live from moscow now over ten thousand people have marched in nice to protest against the g twenty summit that will kick off on thursday further down the coast and can the crowds angered by the current financial system in a reinforced by the global occupy movement demanded governments focus on people more than corporations and as it is done your bushel reports this time world leaders will find it even harder to ignore the outcry. g. twenty host from says it wants this summit on its picturesque mediterranean coast to reflect the importance of emerging nations in the world but this financial crisis deepens in both the u.s. and european union economists sports interest behind that noble claim pledge to

involve more russian economy is really to try to convince those rising economies to put money on the table to the unsustainable currency union of europe in the first place developing countries which saw the west quick to back civil unrest among their population they now see those same western countries coming down hard on public movements in the room. and she was like to describe double standards the primary powers within the g twenty the united states germany britain france the real dominant economic and military powers they want to show a world order and a system of states that still has stability when in fact there is instability this summit is an attempt to put a shiny face on what is really a failed system there's a scene of chaos not just from the side of protesters but also from the police because there's a helicopters overhead at the moment you can hear police sirens so there's police really have mounted this military style operation to shut down and stop any of the

protesters going where they don't want them to go one former diplomat says western leaders can't continue to just block criticism this whole idea that. they can simply ignore popular protests against what's happening could come back to bite the leaders of the g seven energy twenty summit this protest different from summits of the post was billed jim's dicksee of the latest western bank to get bail dealt with public money growing numbers here worry there's something fundamentally wrong with the current set up we have basically a financial system where corporations and financial institutions are able to write themselves favorable legislation when. pro quo be a corporate lobbyist police roadblocks ball demonstrators getting from nice to the nearby town of can with the g. twenty takes place but it's becoming ever harder to stop world leaders hearing the voices of protest the new bush you are to see in nice france. now the russian

president will be taking part in the french summit and we actually caught up with his aide out a card of coffee head of the event and he told us that he thinks it's important the leaders have a chance to come face to face here's a quick preview now of that interview coming your way in about twenty five minutes . result this kind of. face much more difficult consequence of financial turmoil that happened in two thousand phone conversations are too formal for those kinds of decisions especially given the differences in. the traditions in fuel or. various nations the stick united states and china. they need to talk to each other that effort to reach some kind of compromise on global issues.

with r t now greece will hold a referendum on the latest e.u. bailout deal calls by the country's prime minister have received unanimous support from his cabinet george patton dros announcement stunned european leaders it also came as a shock to the greek government some members calling for the pm to resign last week eurozone leaders agreed to write off fifty percent of the greek debt and hand athens more loan and exchange for more yet more austerity measures marco pierre a financial advisor at r m a wealth management says if the greeks vote against the bailout deal it will signal the end of the euro so. this may well finally bring it to a head i think the europeans have been patching things up and patching things up and it's now getting to to crunch point and the deal that was reached last thursday was was a nothing deal really because it doesn't address the fundamental issues that there is too much. debt in the u.

and it's unsustainable in my view. best the best option for the greeks is to default of course that there is much bigger financial consequences for the for the rest of europe and for the rest of the world if that happens but if we're talking about what is in the best interest of the greek people then then then as probably the best outcome effectively great defaults then you have to look at who actually owns the debt and that's principally owned by other sovereigns by the e.u. and by by the banks and pension funds and the consequences of that is that it would make the financial system the banking system much less stable and the worry is of the snowball effect and how it would fit the banks and then other european sovereigns and whether that would then lead to further defaults on a number of sovereign defaults at the same time. and i want a website on. what you think lies behind the greek prime minister's surprise

decision to hold a referendum on the bailout deal let's see how the numbers stack up to about forty percent of very nearly forty percent of you think the greek prime minister has made a wise step to let the population say about a third believe the move is just pure populism to quell the protests other rest are fairly split between two options here whether the decision is a knife in the e.u. or looking for a way to an honorable retirement. and that with greece already up to its neck in economic and political turmoil it seems yet another crisis around the corner we report where an immigration sentiment is reaching a boiling point adding to the existing mood of austerity anger and desperation. russian markets have retreated from their early games though they're still keeping into positive territory that says. no. in a bailout plan more in business in ten minutes. right now at twelve minutes past

the hour here in moscow the u.n. nuclear watchdog says it has discovered a secret facility in northwestern syria that matches the design of a u. raney and richmond plant the findings have raised suspicions that syrian government or the syrian government rather has been trying to produce nuclear weapons is a reporter for the independent online magazine spiked says the international atomic energy agency has assumed a political role it should not be playing. it's really important to stress here is that no one is actually saying that syria is on the verge of developing a nuclear bomb or nuclear missiles what they're expecting at the moment is what is now a cotton spinning plan to some extent it shows just how these kind of institutions which are normally be independent from the united nations like the international atomic energy agency. shows how political they actually are i also think yes this is a way of keeping more pressure on syria during a time when the uprisings that taken place i think it really brings about the worst

of both worlds in many way it brings about kind of western intervention but in a very insidious kind of i would say this only faction they're basically doing what they did in iraq which is to use the guise of the spectrum is to basically poke their nose into all areas of countries that are seen to be a bit suspicious a bit dodgy all of that kind of international sphere they want to appear to be you know kind of the new bogeyman that they can focus their attention upon now the claims of a uranium enrichment plant in syria have led some experts to draw comparisons with the w m d allegations that resulted in the invasion of iraq. here we go again the main pretext for invading and bombarding iraq worth weapons of mass destruction well if i was president assad i would rather worry about letting anyone stick his in because the inspectors went into iraq for years unscom i'm told one of their

tasks was unfair to identifying the defense installations in iraq ended and making sure that his actions would learn my second thought is this a new labor of syria still holds on this lands the golan has bowl accounts a large nuclear armory. and the weapons to deliver those over some thousands of miles it is ironic we should be talking about syria when the israeli nuclear armory has never been inspected or turning our attention out of out of libya where the newly elected prime minister says protecting human rights will be the top of his government's agenda but his statement is in contrast to the activists claims that n.t.t. fighters are terrorizing displaced residents of a coastal town i once loyal to gadhafi abrahams from human rights watch says that current atrocities are being downplayed by the libyan government and nato countries

. but in some places the violence is quite bad the town we looked out in was called and the militias from the neighboring town of misrata are terrorizing the people of to where they accuse them of having fought for qaddafi and you know the problem here is that the militias are not under the control of the political authorities the civilian authorities and that's the big challenge for libya going forward is bringing the many militias under a unified civilian command the problem is that the money militias hundreds of militias sometimes from just a neighborhood have many weapons now and they say look we fought we lost comrades in this battle and now we want to have a stake a seat at the table and bringing them under control will be difficult there's definitely a trend to say we did the right thing meaning nato governments they want to say that this was a successful operation so there is

a tendency to downplay the conflicts and the tensions now but at the same time in our discussions with them of some of these governments they're taking them very seriously because they know that this will cause problems in the future they want them addressed now trying to support the more open minded and democratic minded forces within the new authorities and to move libya in the right direction so there is concern and i think that the governments are nervous about this these tensions the revenge and they're trying to take steps to to quell it. we have all the.

possible. on the streets agrees protests have become a common occurrence this gatherings not one of the usual demonstrations and see

every gratian fright the ethnic tensions here in the city evidence of becoming more and more of a concern for the last three years illegal immigration into europe increased in particular has skyrocketed as the greek economy has plummeted the crisis led to unemployment poverty creasing to a lot of people not being able to make ends meet face to these tough economic conditions it's not just extreme factions a society that has seen a rise in anti immigrant sentiment but every day greeks he faced with exceptionally tough sation circumstances have begun to point the finger of blame. for the problems on the streets of athens has now become a kind of limbo for illegal immigrants who are struggling to make money and to survive even second generation immigrants who've lived in the country many years

feeling the tension we've come to one of greece's neighborhoods that the danger is a first high immigrant population the local park here has become its own mine a battleground. among the we had to close the pork because it was overrun with immigrants no one could cross the course everybody was scared and no group of people could come here it was not a playground anymore. that children are now forced to play their games sat outside the closed gates of the park of the best area with ninety dangers say whether or not the threat israel the fare in this neighborhood certainly is it's definitely controversial issues and it's getting yesterday's initially because it's a symbol of the fear they believe they think of that the place is not good because of the immigrant in many areas of the world they close these things after midnight i think night no doubt. not to be open to. close the night but

the close like that whether to bring it down to the reason that is the year a crisis continues ethnic tensions have been growing into an extremely volatile and sometimes dangerous situation greece is a country now in the midst of not just a financial and economic crisis that immigration crisis that trying to find a way to rebuild say shook a he's in here is no easy surf. athens there are twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow let's do the world update now here at r.t. some of the international headlines for you this hour a new york court will continue deliberations over the future of russian businessman viktor beauties of international arms trafficking the jury was expected to deliver its verdict on tuesday but the decision was perspiring victim who was arrested in thailand in two thousand and eight after a sting operation by the u.s. flown to america to face trial if found guilty he could face life in prison.

a few minutes but now the business with yours. hello and a very warm welcome to the business update russian stocks they're giving up games majorly on wednesday global equities are still reeling from the decision to hold a referendum on the e.u. bailout throwing the whole plan into doubt details i'm joined by our chief tom barton who we are here for this but also what's the mood like down there. it's not looking so confident at the moment. the russian markets at the r.t.s. and my sticks are starting to slip back from the earlier gains that they make they made and markets across europe that are opening are also slipping back we saw big losses yesterday all of this of course to do with the drama unfolding in greece the government there decided it would have a referendum on the euro bailout plan they want to put that to the greek people to

try and get more of a clear mandate for that but that has really unnerved a lot of the creditors of greece across the world the fear is that the greek people will simply say no so far austerity measures of her greece a lot and this new bailout plan contains a lot more very severe government spending cuts which the people of greece do not like the potential if they did vote no could be to create nothing short of a financial catastrophe it is very likely that if they did greece would default on its payment greece could also leave the eurozone altogether and there is another possibility that another bailout may have to stop being rolls together all three of those alternatives to greece going along with this plan of very painful alternatives indeed and they would send even bigger shock waves through

international markets e.u. ministers themselves are saying. that there is to greece that there is no alternative to making these big cuts but they themselves are staring in the face the collapse of this plan that they tried to put together which they had announced would stop the eurozone crisis altogether it looks like but it is now teaching on the brink of collapse itself. tom thank you very much for this indeed and we still have time to have a look at those figures it's still very volatile both the main forces have slipped a little from where they were earlier in the day both in the mice excited gaining a point four percent. somewhat a look at some of the individual show moves on the my six most energy majors the still up with gazprom gaining one health percent the company's subsidiary from there has resumed operations alleviate some financials raised early gains with russia's biggest lenders their bank point six percent in the red and telecommunication major wealth telecoms gain you

a third of percent. ninety twenty nine percent for all in fat quarter net profit. and in europe the markets are down traders are keeping an eye on the u.s. fed which is about to release its latest on the statement b.h.p. billiton is leading mining companies higher snapped a two day slide. and oil is higher the satellites were destroyed. two dollars per barrel while branches one hundred ten dollars. staying with the greek referendum call peter weston at a tone believes the country is playing with fire and could get badly burnt. i think also agrees obviously with. the leadership now putting this to a referendum is playing with fire i think it's inevitable given the austerity measures and the unpopularity that you see from the greek population i can't really blame them for doing what they're doing but it is playing with fire and we might have a solution to a crisis more quickly than otherwise expected because clearly these players have

been there to prolong the inevitable default of greece right now their position is if you look at the opinion polls in greece they would vote no and battle probably mean a quicker move toward of towards a default whether that's a good solution or a bad solution is totally up to how they actually exit. that's it for now they bring you another business someday to last and one last time for you here on our team. coming in to.
