9:00 am
holiday is the blue mattel's the remember the creamy the choose to feel the most acutely to the world the ruben's original. whistleblower winded by verdict the high court in london rules the wiki leaks founder julian assange should be tried in sweden over controversial sex crime allegations. a sense of disillusionment dominates the protests ahead of the g. twenty summit in cannes as world leaders gather to contain the global financial mayhem and the greek announcement of a referendum on the future of the eurozone has only fuel the flames. results of the investigation into september's plane crash that killed a russian hockey team name pilot error as the cause and speak of traces of a strong sedative in the co-pilot's brought.
9:01 am
a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow with me. we can expand julia science may find himself on swedish soil very soon after losing his battle against extradition from britain there he'll have to answer for sexual misconduct charges which he denies and describes as politically motivated if you aussies are laura smith outside london's high court more on this laura high so what's next. well he set me one step place this is the plane following today's proceedings of course this appeal he made to the high court was rejected at the end of the race here at the high court and he now has to apply for permission to appeal to the supreme court and the high court that is sites whether he will be granted that permission you've got to see him days . to do that now permission would only be granted to go to the supreme court the
9:02 am
highest schools in the land if the case is deemed to be in the winds of public interest and if there are precedents that could be set by this case which could apply to other people and this seems more unlikely off to today particularly as the judge here rejected old points of pass on his defense which included the allegation that he wouldn't receive a fair trial in sweden and also that the swedish prosecutor had no hope for a city to issue they said european arrest warrants now pulling the building in athens came out on the steps of the high court to make a short statement he said that they would he and his legal team would consider that next steps in the days ahead he also warns that spin would be applied to what has happened here today and that if people wanted to know what has actually happened they should go to his website sweeten buses the songs and he goes to criticize the
9:03 am
european arrest warrant that's what he had to say. i have not been for with any crime in any country. destroyed with the european arrest warrant is so restrictive that it prevents u.k. court from considering. overpaid as judges of may we're here today. and if this case does go to the seat for even courts it appears likely that the european arrest warrant out of the hole the basis for the european arrest warrant under which of course european citizens can be extradited to other countries with very little evidence being presented and at the sense that himself without the courts themselves being able to look at that evidence will come under scrutiny and of course there are also many who still maintain that this case is entirely politically may survey says and indeed that if a song is extradited to sweden he will go from that she is the united. states and
9:04 am
if indeed that is the case then it looks like it's what's wiki leaks his life's work essentially is under serious threats they have a critical skills shortage of funding and found himself has said that it may be forced to close in the new year. norsemen live outside london's high court many times to be. wanted for more on what's ahead for julian assange i'm now joined live by investigative journalist or tony gosling ok to say you thank you for coming on the program today julian assange is going to appeal because decision do you think he has any chance of avoiding extradition to sweden. well rory i think this is a this is going to be the big test for the supreme court have they got the backbone to stand up here for justice because if they haven't we were a real serious problem i mean this is just the latest in a sardar isn't it a kind of scandinavian viking saga of the barbarity of which judith is being treated is absolutely appalling there's been an eighteen month disruption campaign
9:05 am
now against what is actually one of the most important websites in the world what what wiki leaks does is it was among the most powerful tools to address corruption corruption at the highest levels and what we've seen over the last few years with these expeditions in other parts of the world afghanistan or iraq or later on in libya is the importance of whistleblowers being able to actually expose criminal behavior as songes being the most powerful person in a way in the world exposing some of these crimes let me just give you one example and i wear my little badge for a nuclear free c. today because one of the stories that wiki leaks had was six months before the fukushima disaster was that the international atomic energy authority would demand thing that the plant be closed down this is the importance of this kind of web site and let's not forget about the origins of the internet because that was in darpa net back in the 1980's it was set up as a system for communicating it a time of nuclear attack so that no one center could actually be taken out as
9:06 am
a matter of if i may just jump in for a moment just give us a clear get out of it is this more about sex charges or is it more about his whistle blowing activities well it's certainly very similar isn't it to the dominique strauss kahn sexting it seems to me that there isn't any real basis for this as we have it is not even being charges over in sweden and so yes it's an attempt to shut down what is one of the most important media outlets in the world right now and it's like i say a disruption campaign but the old fashioned what i was saying about the internet is actually what happens is. now the internet as it is the internet detects censorship as damage and it routes around that censorship and that's what julian assange is able to do with wiki leaks and he's stopping him now with this is what i think is quite clearly a disruption campaign i think as you think this site is now being brought to its own enormous right interrupt interrupting you there but as you say moments ago you know it's possible he's going to be deported to sweden where as you mentioned he
9:07 am
hasn't even been officially charged but what will happen to him if indeed he is the board as we. well i think the object here is actually to just disrupt wiki leaks or stop it functioning and they've been successful here i think ultimately i really hope that the supreme court although i don't have a fantastic amount of faith in it is going to do the right thing is going to leave a justice which is to actually really give a pat on the back maybe he should be awarded a medal because he's a fantastic and very very important guy he's exposing criminal activity at the highest levels in society and i think he should be applauded for that what we've got here though is a kind of situation and it seems that all was right but the people who are telling the truth are the ones that are being closed down i find it absolutely appalling war and so so you're suggesting that are doing a sergeant some way or another should be awarded for bringing to light these revelations about our government corruption and so-called secret scandals but if i may there are some that are saying that the u.k. is being used as a puppet on the part of the u.s.
9:08 am
is under pressure here is that accurate is even possible that judges are feeling direct behind closed doors pressure to make a certain verdict. well i think it's quite clear that the judges so far in this case haven't really delivered justice that's what we're seeking isn't it you know people had a real appetite for wiki leaks style material back here in britain in the ninety ninety's we had a program called the cook report which was pulling ten million listeners a night when that was on that program was pulled it was an investigative documentary series rather like the sort of stuff that some are just coming out with i think it's actually appalling scenes that because the mainstream media do this kind of stuff now doesn't produce this investigative work you know sanjay is absolutely crucial so everybody in this country in britain needs to defend it you have investigative journalist their attorney going to the way things are we are
9:09 am
always interested in what you think about the u.k. it's called vertical dot com let's bring up the numbers right here and see how your voting so far the majority think the u.s. is using the u.k. as a puppet again around a third believe the verdict is the result of a conspiracy to gag internet freedom nine percent say it was a legitimate step towards a fair trial and four percent of the bare minimum here think the supreme court may actually overrule it's essential to submit your vote to twenty four seventh's at r.t. dot com. just not only ten minutes past the hour here in moscow the upcoming g. twenty summit in the french city of karen is set to begin with what's become something of a tradition massive protests suppressed by police the rage behind the banners remains the same this year economic hardship and seemingly disconnected leaders. reports there's a growing sense that corporate interests are taking precedence over the public's wellbeing. france says it wants this summit on its picturesque mediterranean
9:10 am
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 self interest claim to involve more rights the economy is is really to try to convince those rising economies to put money on the table. and sustainable currency union of europe in the first place developing countries which so quick to civil unrest among their population they will see those same western countries coming down hard on public movements in the room backyard and she will activists croyde double standards and the primary powers within the g twenty the united states germany britain france the real economic and military powers they want to show a world order a system of states that still has the ability when in fact there is instability this summit is an attempt shining face on what is really a failed system is the scene of chaos not just from the side of protesters but also
9:11 am
from the police because there's helicopters overhead at the moment you can hear police sirens and also this 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 come back to the leaders of the g seven energy twenty summit this protest different from summits of the past 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 setup we have basically a financial system where corporations and financial institutions are able to write themselves favorable legislation quid pro quo. police roadblocks bore demonstrators
9:12 am
getting from me to the nearby town of cairn where 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 seeing in nice france. well analysts worldwide expect this year's summit will focus on getting developing nations more involved in stabilizing the world's accounts but despite protests and differences it's essential world leaders will meet face to face to work out a common approach that's according to our colleagues work over the eight so the russian president. resolve this plane before. the nation because it's face much. more difficult and since so financial turmoil the president in two thousand and eight informed conversations to formal or those kinds of decisions given the differences in. the traditions and the use or on various nations of the stick united states and china phone conversations with
9:13 am
her help they need to show there that effort to reach some kind of compromise will be wishing. i know you can catch more of this thoughts on the g. twenty summit are coming up next hour here on c but for now to greece where it's been confirmed the prime minister has proposed a referendum on the latest e.u. bailout will go ahead george patton dros call shocked the e.u. leaders and sparked chaos on world markets and even came as a shock to greeks the greeks themselves with proby are loud employees calling for his immediate resignation but the pm is now due to fly to cannes to explain his actions before german chancellor angela merkel and french president nicolas sarkozy the chief sponsors of greece's financial life support machine but financial advisors are and wealth management marco predicts reporting believes the greeks are better off out of the euro. this may well finally bring it to
9:14 am
a head i think the europeans have been patching things up and patching things up and it's now getting to the 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 sovereign debt in the u. and it's unsustainable in my view the best the best option for the greeks is the 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 that's probably the best outcome effectively greet the faults and 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
9:15 am
the snowball effect and how they will face the banks and other european sovereigns and whether that would then lead to further defaults than a number of sovereign defaults the same time. with. economic and political strife another crisis just with the existing mood of desperation caused by austerity cuts pushing some greeks to make immigrants. and here we go again the u.n. and nuclear watchdog claims to have found a secret nuclear plant in syria but there's a question that spinning really pose a threat or is it another cry of war. russian investigators concluded the crew applied the brakes during takeoff causing a plane crash and killed forty four september. listen to what the investigation committee had to say. investigation has shown that says those pilots were trained
9:16 am
how to operate yet forty planes for a very long time and then they had to switch to forty two days and bring to the community there was two planes have a very different break because all systems which share the pilots didn't have enough time to get used to it and so that could have been done by mistake another reason there is jesse is one of the pilots was suffering from a strong neurological condition. strongly in fact someone's reflexes and was also under the effects of strong medication perhaps he was using that medication to treat that condition that he was successfully hiding from the aviation medical for all this time a lot of the documents were full thought apparently and from the conversations records from the black box during the press conference that we were listening to it was pretty clear that. they sounded very negligent there was a lot of swearing and the interstates. aviation committee i was actually saying
9:17 am
that it sounds like the pilots did not come through waits all the parameters for the sake of before hand so they were not prepared for flights. dot com you can find all the details of this tragedy we're going to read about the sole survivor of the crash learn how the families cope with the loss and see the drive to rebuild the wipeout team from next year's. also on line of fighting for their rights for trying to clean up squad members try to force their way into the ukrainian parliament where you plan cuts to their benefits and much much more.
9:18 am
five minutes away from the business news here on r.t. but for now the international atomic energy agency claims to have discovered a secret nuclear complex in northwestern syria it says the design looks like a uranium enrichment facility although it's being used as a cotton spinning plant but patrick hayes a reporter who has been closely following the story says the only purpose of these allegations is to make syria the new book. yes this is a way of heaping more pressure on syria during a time when the uprising to 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 dishonest fashion they're basically doing what they did in iraq which is to use the guise of weapons inspections so basically poke their nose into all areas of countries that are seem to be a bit suspicious a bit dodgy they're poking their noses in thought i would say political right appear to be political really rather than for any reason for security concerns it's
9:19 am
current time and i think it's very telling they're choosing to do this at a time when the uprisings that taking place what they're trying to do it effectively use other things it's kind of mobs of to throw at the situation to try and actually build up a narrative which they can use should they necessarily want to intervene in the future i mean certainly syria is being recast in this situation as one of the one of the countries that needs to what's you know one of the countries that for example a new sort of evil or something along those lines so i think it is being used for strategic reasons the only thing that will really where is it actually is if the syrian people are left alone without any western intervention without any of their you know kind of their lackeys or kind of bodies like the international atomic energy agency poking their noses in and it's left to the syrian people to basically decide what they want to do and determine their own future. twenty minutes past the
9:20 am
hour here in moscow the leaders of turkey and germany met on wednesday as the nation celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of a historic guest worker pact the deal brought hundreds of thousands of turks to then a question and answer fill jobs industry boomed but the anniversary comes during heavy debate over the concept of nulty culturalism in europe which many say is fading exemplifying this the office of a satirical french newspaper was firebombed recently after named a prophet mohammed its editor in chief for the week saw an esposa an m.p. from the danish people's party says that that happened because extremists simply don't understand free speach. it's quite obvious shelly who has been targeted by the right fanatics who do not accept any critique subgroup of a religion and want us to lead them to to their ways thereby destroying the freedom of speech in europe and that's really what sort of struck it's about it is
9:21 am
a question of seriously islamists wanting to decide what can be serious what can be and what can you can't be drawn in the way they're challenging how freedom of speech and i think that's one of the most cherished freedoms that we have a strong so we should not accept this by any chance and i think that all right it might be provocative also what you just posted also what shirley had to do in what you know what to say you know we have a stand here we will see what we like we will laugh at what we like and it's also very humid most of us have humor in what surely it could be and it's a shame that these muslims cannot love us just think about all the lectures that christianity has received throughout the centuries my goodness in my country i mean there have been marked. by all sorts of persons during the last two three hundred years we've been laughing at those christians who has been as he has been wanted to keep quiet who do not want us to have quite a pretty solid religion that is part of our our system i mean we need to say to
9:22 am
these people you know you are not the one to decide we decide out of our free speech we'll say what we like. and an hour to south reports from greece where immigration is sentiment is reaching a boiling point fueled by the country's ongoing economic woes. on the streets of greece protests have become a common occurrence this gatherings not one of the usual demonstrations. ever gratian phrase that the ethnic tensions here in the city. and of becoming more and more of a concern is the last three years illegal immigration into europe increased in particular has skyrocketed the greek economy has plummeted the crisis led to unemployment poverty seeing a lot of people. to make ends meet face to these tough economic conditions it's not
9:23 am
just extreme factions a society that has seen a rise in anti immigrant sentiment but every day greeks he faced with exceptionally tough station circumstances have begun supports the finger of blame. 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 have lived in the country many years i feeling the tension we've come to one of creases neighborhoods that the danger is a pretty high immigrant population the local park here has become a saying mine a battleground. we had to close the curve because it was overrun with immigrants and no one could cross everybody was scared and no group of people could come here it was not a playground. for children are now forced to play their games there outside the closed gates a part of this area with maybe dangers say whether or not the press israel the
9:24 am
fairness neighborhood certainly it's typical expression issues in israel. stays an issue because it's a symbol of the baby leave thinking that the police look good because of the many areas of the world because these things after midnight after night make those. the logical would be opening them up to the big blows in the night but the blood like that were there to the bank something the reason it 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 but an immigration crisis to be trying to find a way to rebuild say showcase he zhen here is not skeins easy surface r.t. athens. and i would be long going out euro zone debt crisis that's not good latest

9:26 am
to have a referendum because it wants to put the question of the euro payout plan to the greek people it wants a clear mandate for that plan but that has worried many people around the world many of greece's potential creditors because they fear that the greek people will give a no vote it's indicated that they may well do that and that would create a very serious situation indeed and exacerbate the current crisis greece may indeed default on its debt if the greek people vote no it may go further and leave the eurozone all together all a third option may be that another bigger bailout plan may have to be arranged all of these alternatives to greece following the austerity measures that would come with any bailout of very painful indeed and will severely shake the confidence of markets but also terrified nearby italy and spain who are themselves teetering on the brink of financial catastrophe the e.u.
