9:01 am
extradition from britain where there he'll have to answer for sexual misconduct charges which he denies and describes as politically motivated let's talk live to our visa laura smith outside london's high court more on this laura hi so what's next. well he's certainly one step place this is the plane following today's proceedings of course this appeal that he made to the high court was rejected at the end of the road here at the high court and he now has to apply for permission to appeal to the supreme court and the high court that decides whether he will be granted that permission he's going to see in days to do that now permission would only be granted to go to the supreme court the highest court in the land if the case is deemed to be in the wider 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 cool points of us
9:02 am
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 authority to issue based european arrest warrants now following that they would be in essence came out on the steps of the high court to make a short statement he said that they would be in the legal chain which consider that next steps in the days ahead he also warns that spin would be applied to what had happened to today and that if people wanted to know what had actually happened they should go to his web site sweden vs the songs and he will say criticize the european arrest warrant and say what he had to say. i have not been charged with any crime in any country. despite this the european arrest warrant is so restrictive that it prevents u.k. court from considering. over. we are
9:03 am
here today. and if this case does go to the sea priem courts it appears likely that the european arrest warrant as a whole 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 as a stance that in itself 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 motivated and indeed that if a sound is extradited to sweden he will go from there to the united states and if indeed that is the case then it looks like it's worked wiki leaks his life's work essentially is under serious threats they have a critical sort of shortage of funding and assad himself has said that it may be forced to close in the new year after. live after i love and high court many thanks . for more on what's ahead for joining us sarge i'm now joined live by
9:04 am
investigative journalist tony gosling good to see you thank you for coming on the program today. is going to appeal the court's decision do you think he has any chance of avoiding extradition to sweden. well 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 will real serious problem i mean this is just the latest in a saga isn't it kind of scandinavian viking saga of the barbarity of which it is being treated is absolutely appalling there's been an eighteen month disruption campaign now going to 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 one libya is the importance of whistle blowers being able to actually. expose
9:05 am
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 see 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 demanding that the plant be closed down this is the importance of this kind of website and let's not forget about the origins of the internet because that was darpa net back in the one nine hundred eighty s. it was set up as a system for communicating in a time of nuclear attack so that no one senator i'm could actually have taken out i was interrupting if i may just jump in for a moment just just give us a clear yet are is this more about sex charges or is it more about his whistle blowing activities what is certainly very similar isn't it to the dominique strauss can sexting it seems to me there isn't any real basis for this as we heard there's not even been charges over in sweden and so yes it's
9:06 am
a spurious 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 with 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 what i think is quite clearly a disruption campaign that eighteen months. now being brought to its i mean what was dragged into of interrupting you there but as you were saying moments ago you know it's possible he's going to be deported to sweden where as you mentioned he hasn't even been officially charged but what will happen to him if indeed he is the border. well i think the object here is actually to just disrupt wiki leaks to 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 deliver justice which is to actually really give
9:07 am
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 well was right but the people who are telling the truth are the ones that are being closed down i find it absolutely appalling so so you're suggesting that are doing the 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. it's under pressure here is that accurate here and it 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 is that you know people have a real appetite for wiki leaks style material back here in britain in the one nine
9:08 am
hundred 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 paul that was an investigative documentary series rather like the sort of stuff that a scientist coming out with i think it's actually appalling scenes that because the mainstream media can't do this kind of stuff now doesn't produce this investigative work now that sanjay is absolutely crucial so everybody in this country in britain needs to defend him you have investigative journalist there tony gosling many things. well we are always interested in what you think about the court verdict at dot com let's bring up the numbers right here and see how you're voting so far the majority think the u.s. is using the u.k. as a puppet again around a third believe the verdict was the result of a conspiracy to gag internet freedom about 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
9:09 am
actually overrule it's decision and do something if you will vote twenty four seventh's at r.t. dot com. just not on in ten minutes past the hour here in moscow the upcoming g. twenty summit in the french city of candy 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 and authorities daniel fishel reports there's a growing sense that corporate interests are taking precedence over the public's wellbeing. g twenty host from says it wants this summit on its picture wrist 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 nubile claim to involve more right economies 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
9:10 am
developing countries which saw the west quick to back civil unrest among their population they now see those same western countries coming down hold on public movements in their own backyard and she was like to describe double standards and the primary powers within the g twenty 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 shining 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 is 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
9:11 am
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 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 be. corporate lobbyist police roadblocks ball demonstrators getting from east to the nearby town of karen where the g. twenty takes place but it's becoming ever harder to stop world leaders hearing the voices of protest the new push to r.t. 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 and despite protests and differences it's essential world leaders will meet face to
9:12 am
face to work out a common approach and that's according to our overture the aide to the russian president. resolve this plane before. the nation could face much more difficult consequences so financial turmoil that happened in two thousand and eight in your phone conversations are too formal for those kinds of decisions especially given the differences in. the traditions in fuel or. various nations let's take united states and china. they need to talk to each other that effort to reach some kind of compromise on global issues. and you can catch more of a sports on the g twenty summit coming up next hour here on but for now to greece where it's been confirmed the prime minister has proposed
9:13 am
a referendum on the latest e.u. bailout and it will go ahead george patton shocked e.u. leaders and sparked chaos on world markets and even came as a shock to greeks greeks themselves with progress are loud m.p.'s 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 adviser and wealth management marco preacha party believes the greeks are better off out of the euro than. this may will 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 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 to
9:14 am
default of course that there is much bigger financial consequences for for the rest of europe and for the rest of the world if that happens. if we're talking about what is in the best interest of the greek people then then then as probably the best outcome effectively greek the faults 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 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. with greece up to its neck in economic and political strife another crisis just around the corner the existing mood of desperation caused by austerity cuts of some greeks to make immigrants
9:15 am
scapegoats. and here we go again the u.n. a nuclear watchdog claims to have found a secret nuclear plant in syria produce a cotton spinning plant really pose a threat or is it another cry of war. russian investigators have concluded the crew applied the brakes during takeoff causing a plane crash in jaroslav orbit killed forty four in september. listen to what the investigation committee had to say. investigation has shown that says those pilots were trained how to operate forty planes for a very long time and then they had to do this and according to the committee those planes have a very different break because all systems which share the pilots didn't have enough time to get used to and so that could have been done by mistake another reason they're suggesting is one of the pilots was suffering from
9:16 am
a strong neurological condition. 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 to aviation committee i was actually saying that it sounds like the pilots did not call he waits all the parameters for the sake of before before hand so they were not prepared for the flights. dot com you can find all the details of september tragedy to read about the sole survivor of the crash learn how the families cope with the loss and see the drive
9:17 am
to rebuild the wipeout hockey team for next year's. also online fighting for their rights trying to clean up try to force their way into the ukrainian parliament. and much much more. about a 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
9:18 am
a way of heaping more pressure on syria during a time when the uprisings are taking 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 to basically poke their nose into all areas of countries that are seen to be suspicious a bit dodgy they're poking their noses in for what i would say political really appear to be political reasons rather than for any reasons of security concerns it's 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 if they kind of effectively use other things as kind of mobs of to pharaoh at the situation to try and effect to be 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
9:19 am
of the countries that needs to watch you know one of the countries that for example a new and she sort of evil or something along those lines so i think it is being used for strategic reasons the only thing that will really work is if 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 hour here in moscow the leaders of turkey and germany met on wednesday as the nation celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of a and historic guest worker pact and the deal brought hundreds of thousands of turks to then west germany to fill jobs as industry boomed but the anniversary comes during heavy debate over the concept of multiculturalism in europe which many say is failing
9:20 am
exemplifying this the office of a satirical french newspaper was firebombed recently after it named a prophet mohammed its editor in chief for the week saw an espresso and 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 that jodi has been targeted by by fanatics who do not accept any critique subgroup of their religion and want us to lead them to to their ways thereby destroying the freedom of speech in europe and that's really what the search for a bill is about it is a question of defensiveness least i missed one thing to decide what can be said what can be written and what can be can be drawn in their way they're challenging how freedom of speech and i think that's one of the most cherished freedoms that we have it's all so we should not except this by any chance and i think that all right that might be provocative also what us posting but also what shirley don't do in
9:21 am
what in order to say no we have a stand here we will see will be light we will laugh at what we like i think this also very humid here is about so humor and what surely it good deeds and its shame that these muslims cannot love us just think about all the lashes that christianity has received throughout the centuries my goodness in my country i mean they have been marked and been left 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 they do not want us to have white christians the religion that is part of our our system i mean we need to say to these people you know you are not the one to decide we decide about free speech we all say what we like. and in our teams south reports from greece where anti immigration sentiment is reaching a boiling point fueled by the country's ongoing economic woes. on the streets of

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 of the dangers a first high immigrant population the local park here has become is in mine a battleground on the other we have to close the period because it was overrun with immigrants no one could cross the call everybody was scared and no group of people could come here it was not a playground anymore. children are now forced to play their games here outside the closed gates of part of the best area with naked dangers say whether or not the threat is real the fare in this neighborhood certainly is it's definitely contrition issues and it's getting yes there is an issue because it's a symbol of fear yeah baby leave me thinking that the place is not good because of immigrants in many areas of the world these things after midnight after night not hours. they're not to going to be opening them up in the daylight to float in the

9:26 am
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 they will also terrified nearby italy and spain who are themselves teetering on the brink of financial catastrophe for you leader. themselves they have been trying to impress upon greece not to feel stirred too much as they demanded a must do that there is no alternative to them but they themselves are staring in the face of the possible failure the bailout plan that took them so moment to get together and that they certainly would still be euro debt crisis all together that
