club. sponsor. calls a full season on the sultan which. wiki leaks julian i saw was his that his appeal against extradition has been rejected he comes out on the steps of the high court to criticize the european arrest warrant. a sense of disillusionment dominates the protests ahead of the g. twenty summit in as world leaders gather to contain the global financial mayhem on the greek announcement of a referendum on the euro zone's a rescue deal has only fuel the flames. results of the investigation into september's plane crash that killed a russian hockey team and named pilot error as the cause and speak of traces of a strong sedative in the copilot.
11:01 am
just after seven pm here and moscow you're watching are with me for some showing we can leaks founder julian assange may find himself on a swedish soil very soon after losing his battle against extradition from britain they will have to answer sexual misconduct allegations which he denies it describes as politically motivated laura smith was at london's high court. but he's certainly one step closer to playing following today's proceedings this rejection of his appeal against the extradition it's not certain that he will. he has said that he will appeal he's got fourteen days to do that but in appeal is no longer also matic he has to be granted permission by the high court to appeal to the supreme court the highest court in the land and that will only be granted if it's deemed by the high court that this case represents the light of precedent that it up but applies
11:02 am
to the wider public image results now that he and our sons did come out on the steps of the old the high courts. make a short statement following the announcement he said that he and his team would be considering what the next steps would be in the days ahead and peoples they warned people in that which he had just been well it's been a cool heads day and directed them to his website that sounds best if we can hear it from the horse's mouth what has happened what has happened and he also criticised the european arrest warrant that's what he had to say about that i have not been charged with any crime in any country. despite the european arrest for. so restrictive that it prevents u.k. court from considering the power over case as judges have made clear here today. to ask those in his team considering that next steps in full on really
11:03 am
on the european arrest warrant time joined by jim carr and he's the child an organization called civil rights international. jim if this case does go to the sequin cool but it looks unlikely that figure can arrest warrant itself could come under scrutiny is that something that you would welcome yes i would welcome dr you know i do think the european arrest warrant should come under scrutiny because it is being abused for political purposes because when you know tsonga was in sweden he did go before the court they should not have him to leave sweden once he was fear he should be tried if they told there was a case against him and then he was allowed to come here to england. and i believe that there was pressure part. swedish government perhaps by the american government or by other governments who were embarrassed as a result of the revelations that we could be exposed to the international community
11:04 am
and i believe that that is why you try to get to make sure that there is very great concern here. in the united kingdom. to extradition studio. because many people believe that there would not be a fear here in. the united states in current thank you very much jim crow and they're talking to us outside the high court where sanchez now is left he's gone back presumably to the house of smith in norfolk outside london where he has been held under strict bail conditions for the last eleven months he's considering his next steps this case is not over but it certainly does look less likely that he will walk free at the end of it all. parties or. of course a position to extradite julian assange to sweden comes just over
11:05 am
a week after week and it's announced it was suspending a committee was due to work financial ok and many believe the case is more about his whistle blowing activities rather than any accusations of sexual assault i mean this is just the latest in a saga isn't it a kind of scandinavian viking saga of the barbarity of which it is being treated appallingly it's been an eighteen month disruption campaign 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 one libya is the importance of whistle blows being able to actually expose criminal behavior as being the most powerful person in a way in the world exposing some of these crimes what is certainly very similar isn't it to the dominique strauss kahn sexting it seems to me and any real basis
11:06 am
for this to be heard there's not even been charges over in sweden and so yes it's derrius attempt to shut down what is one of the most important media outlets in the world right now. well as always we are always interested in what you think about the court heard it and see dot com here are your votes is that enough for right now so far just over half think the u.s. is using the u.k. as our puppet again about thirty nine percent believe the verdict is the result of a conspiracy to gag internet freedom six percent say it was a legitimate step towards a fair trial the rest think the supreme court made overrule the decision anyway but to submit your vote r.t. dot com. six minutes past the hour here in moscow the upcoming g. twenty summit in the french city of can 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 that of economic hardship and seemingly disconnected
11:07 am
leaders as r.t. is it down your bushel reports there's a growing sense that corporate interests are taking precedence over the public's wellbeing. g. twenty was says it was the summits on its picturesque mediterranean coast to reflect the will to save emerging nations in the world but this financial crisis deepens in both the u.s. and european union economies sports self interest behind that noble claim pledge to involve more rightly economists virt is really to try to convince those right economists to put money on the table. and sustainable currency union of europe in the first place developing countries which saw the worst quick to back civil unrest among their population they'll see those same western countries coming down hard on public movements in the room. and she was like to describe double standards in the primary powers within the g twenty the united states germany france the real
11:08 am
dominant economic and military powers they want to show a world order i need a system of states that still has the ability 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's helicopters overhead at the moment you can hear police sirens also there's police really amount to 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 poles with bill james nixey 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
11:09 am
a financial system where corporations and financial institutions are able to write themselves favorable legislation. pro probably a corporate lobbyist police roadblocks called demonstrators getting from me to the nearby town of karen with the g. twenty takes place but it's becoming ever holder to stop world leaders hearing the voices of protest. sure seeing in nice france. now to greece where it's been confirmed the prime minister's proposed a referendum on the latest e.u. bailout will go ahead george papandreou has called shocked e.u. leaders and sparked chaos on world markets it even came as a shock to greeks themselves with pro bowl out m.p.'s calling for his immediate resignation the prime minister is now due to fly to the g. twenty meeting in cannes to explain his actions to german chancellor angela merkel and the french president nicolas sarkozy the chief sponsors of greece's financial life support machine and you'll have an overt felt the editor in chief of belgium's
11:10 am
leading trends and that business music magazines believes that at this point greece has no choice left. the situation in greece has become really desperate the economy's going down very rapidly and very deeply unemployment is rising fast and the budget situation is out of control and it is clear by now i think for the greek leaders that the recipe followed so far doesn't lead to a solution on the contrary it makes things worse and from e.u. what mr papandreou is doing with organizing this referendum is preparing the exit of greece from the eurozone the only thing they know for sure is that the model will be worse than the day in the day after will be even worse than tomorrow so to a certain extent this is mr prop and radio is asking a question to which he already knows the answer and the answer will probably be no which will be the end of the rescue packages in which unavoidably will mean that
11:11 am
the only option left for greece is an exit from the euro zone. with greece up to its neck in economic and political strife another crisis could be just around the corner the existing a mood of desperation caused by austerity cuts pushes some greeks to make immigrants scapegoats. so i don't let's turn our attention now to libya where the new prime minister says making sure the rights are respected is a top priority it comes after a string of war crime allegations claiming n.t.s.c. fighters of torturing people who once fought on the side of khadafi more insight into the situation i'm now joined live from washington by former cia intelligence officer michael scheuer good to see you thank you for coming on the program today but the world media was abuzz with stories about the atrocities of the khadafi regime now it seems like the bloodshed committed by the other side is being ignored or hushed up has the media now lost interest in the story. i think they've lost
11:12 am
interest in the truth of the story syria there are only interested in out that being out there campaigning for a so-called democracy and the media is very childish in many ways believing you can build a democracy in six months or six years the americans and the british have been at it for eight hundred years and so now that it's turning out to be a mistake if the islamists are in power in tunisia they're going to come to power in libya and media is running away from the story yes or no the clear goal of the original nato operation in libya was simply to protect people so why are they not condemning the new regime then if indeed atrocities such as these are taking place . there was there was no doubt you know the cover story was to protect people in libya so what they wanted to do is to get rid of gadhafi the europeans and the americans wanted assured access to european oil and on top of that american leaders are not unlike the leaders that were in moscow during soviet times they believe in the inevitability of democracy everywhere just is as marxism was it once believed
11:13 am
to be inevitable and as a result they're of setting power structures centuries old and they're going to pay for it by an increased power among islamists and by civil war in those countries now the national transitional council says it has a plan on how to disarm the population however we're just getting why is right here saying that a u.n. chief a u.n. chief or others zero edging libya to secure could use that weapons that when you've got a country such as this where so many millions of people are armed is it realistic to think about disarming the population is that even possible it's neither possible nor realistic sir you know with the main one of the main goals in afghanistan when we went there was to disarm the population the population is better armed today than it was in two thousand and one if we were concerned about those arsenals we would have secured them when the nato operation started in february or march many of those arsenals are already emptied some of those weapons have turned up in somalia and other places we have just created enormous reinforcement in terms of
11:14 am
the people who are released from libyan prisons and in terms of supplies of weapons for the islamists across north africa if we can provide it so let's address the political life of libya i think the new prime minister actually lived in the u.s. some of the thirty years of his his selections suggest the new government is seeking a leader that is possible to the west. not only palatable so they want someone who's pliable certainly sort of cozy cameron harper of canada obama of the united states and mccain and lindsey graham the senators they want to be had to behave as a western country not an islamist country so they're delighted to have someone go back there even though he doesn't represent anybody inside of libya but this new libyan prime minister. kiba who spent thirty years in america during all these decades he didn't once visit libya do you think such a person is a bit too detached from the libyan reality to actually become the new ruler of the
11:15 am
country. oh i think so sure he is that you know that libya is a country of still hundred some tribes he's never had any experience with dealing with those tribes khadafi had to use it you know had to knock heads together to keep them in order you know again much of the afghan government came back from europe in the united states and is totally unacceptable to the afghan people and i think we're going to find the same thing that that expatriates from outside the country in the long term have no future in libya michael scheuer a former cia intelligence officer from washington thank you. thank. you with r.t. the russian investigators have concluded that the crew applied the brakes during a takeoff the caused a plane crash and doris lovell in september that killed forty four people and listen to what the investigative committee had to say. the investigation has shown that those pilots were trained how to operate get forty planes were very long time
11:16 am
and then they had to switch to forty two's and according to the committee there was two planes have a very different a great 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 a strong neurological condition which should strongly except that once reflexes and was also under the effect of strong medication perhaps he was using that medication to treat that condition that he was successfully hiding from the aviation medical community for all this time a lot of the documents a world 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 as actually saying that it sounds like the pilots did not call for weights all the parameters for the
11:17 am
takeoff before hand so they were not prepared for that flight. artie's on telly and of course reporting right there but on our website at r.t. dot com you can find all the details of september's tragedy if you log on to read about the sole survivor there the sort of live off the plane crash where you can learn how the families and fans cope with the last sunday or see the drive to rebuild the wiped out hockey team for next year's season. or for life or you are fighting for their rights for much noble clean up squad members try to force their way into the ukrainian parliament angry a plan that cuts to their benefits and much much more than an hour to talk on. this is r.t. live from moscow now the leaders of turkey and germany met on wednesday as the nation celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of an historic guest worker pact the deal brought hundreds of thousands of turks to then west germany to fill jobs as the industry boomed but the anniversary comes it during a heavy debate over the concept of multiculturalism in europe which many say is
11:18 am
failing perhaps exemplifying this the office of a satirical french newspaper was firebombed after name prophet mohammed its editor in chief for the week saw an s. percent p. from the danish people's party says that that happened because extremists simply don't understand free speech it's quite our show who has been targeted by fanatics who do not accept any critiques of their religion and want us to get them to do it worries thereby destroying the freedom of speech in europe and that's really what it's about it is a question of limits wanting to decide what can be serious. challenge to our freedom of speech that's one of the most cherished freedoms that we have as well so we should not accept this interest and i think that all right
11:19 am
that might be provocative also what you list mostly but also what shall you do in war in order to. say no we have a stand here we would say will be like we will laugh at what we like i think it's also very humid there's a lot so humor and want to show your good deeds and it's a shame that these muslims cannot not just think about all the lashes christianity has received throughout centuries my goodness in my country i mean there have been marked lesh by all sorts of persons during the last two three hundred years we've been laughing at those christians who was fanatics they wanted to keep quiet they do not want us to have my critics 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 what we decide about free speech we all say what we like and an hour to surfer three points from greece where and immigration sentiment is reaching a boiling point it's being fueled by the country's ongoing economic woes. on the

m i six have been up and down but finally finished tentatively in the black the reason for all the turmoil the continuing uncertainty over the drama unfolding in greece the government's decision to have a referendum there on the euro bailout plan is they say to try and get a clear mandate from the greek people but it has sent shock waves through international markets the fear is that the greek people will say no and that would make this already very dangerous crisis a lot worse it could cause greece to g. falls on its debt it could go further and mean greece leaves the eurozone altogether or it could mean that another larger bailout has to be organized all three of these alternatives to greece simply following the austerity measures that are being demanded will be very economically painful and will shake confidence in the markets they will also terrify nearby italy and spain both of whom is
