seemingly disconnected leaders daniel bushell reports there's a growing sense that corporate interests are taking precedence over the public's worldly. 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 self interest behind nubile claim to involve more writes the column which 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 hold on public movements in their own backyard and she was like to describe double standards and 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

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's a helicopters overhead at the moment you can hear police sirens also 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 road blocks board demonstrators getting from me 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 or to see him east france. we can leaks founder julian assange may find himself on swedish soil very soon after losing his battle against extradition from britain there he'll have to answer sexual misconduct allegations which he denies and describes as politically motivated artie's laura smith was at london's high court. well he's certainly one step closer to the plane 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 an appeal is no longer all sematic 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 steamed by the high court that this case represents a white a precedent that it up put applies to the wider public in its results now that he and our sons did come out on to the steps of the old the hard cold make a short statement following the announcement he said that he and his team would be considering what that next steps would be in the days ahead and he pulls they want people in that which he intends to spin what happens at the cool head today and directed them to his website sounds versus wait to hear it from the horse's mouth what has happened what has happened and he also criticized the european arrest warrant let's hear what he had to say about that i have not been charged with any crime in any country. despite with the european arrest warrant

is so restrictive that it prevents u.k. court from considering the power over case as judges have made clear here today. to our sons and his team considering that next steps and from all on really on the european arrest warrant time joined by jim carr and he's the chair of an organization called civil rights international. jim if this case does go to the sea pretty cool what it looks unlikely that the european arrest warrant itself could come under scrutiny is that something that you would welcome you know so i would welcome dr i do think the european arrest warrant should come under scrutiny because it is being abused for political purposes. because when. i was in sweden he did call before a court should not allowed to him to leave sweden once he was fear he should be tried to talk there was a case against him and then he was allowed to come here to england an hour after

that then i believe that there was pressure party. government perhaps by the american government or by other governments who were a barrister as a result of the revelations that we could be exposed to the international community and i believe that that is why i. tried to get to make sure there is very great concern here in the united kingdom about extradition is to the united states because many people believe that they would not get to fear here in india nightsticks current thank you very much as jim curran that talking to us outside the high court where julian assange has now left he's gone back presumably to the house all full and 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 safe but it certainly does look less likely that he will

walk free at the end of a civil. war smith reporting there from london now to greece where it's being confirmed the prime minister's proposed referendum on the latest e.u. bailout will go ahead george happened to call short e.u. leaders and spark markets and even came as a shock to greeks themselves with. calling for his immediate resignation promise is now due to fly to the g. twenty meeting in cannes to explain his actions to the german chancellor angela merkel and the french president nicolas sarkozy the chief sponsors of greece's financial life support machine well for more on where this now puts the eurozone i'm joined live from toronto and why is the pound and its. and chief of the daily bell dot com well after all that's been done both by athens and by the e.u. to keep greece afloat just why would george papandreou a staunch euro back a call for a referendum that in all likelihood is going to undo everything. well i'm

not sure what the actual personal motivation was that george papandreou had to make that move but i for one indorsed the move i believe that the people of greece should be the ones who determine their future and not the euro kratz who who are trying to regain it to gain even more control and centralized power over the various nation states within the. by giving his people at least the opportunity to make a decision for themselves as to whether or not perhaps even they want to remain in the e.u. is probably in the best interests of the people of greece maybe not welcome so much so. that you say let the greek people make the decision which is in their interest but of course that decision is now being seen as one that could in fact lead to the collapse of the euro zone in effect all the eurozone members. and i say that that's a welcome situation if it happens i mean the euro zone is a is a stepping stone towards one world governance and the fact is you cannot take these

various nation states with various cultural backgrounds and needs and desires on the on an individual level forget about a national level and expect to we'll put them all into a basket and to accept a federalized control via brussels that is in the best interest of the people in a localized level the url's zone is a planned experiment that is that has come into being since ever since world war two which is all about generating one world power for the money power itself stands behind the central banks of the world and central banking in the money power that stands behind it is at the root of the eurozone experiment period i suggest that it would be a wonderful thing if the greek people were to recognize that they'd be better off getting out of the euro zone he would say look this is a global problem countries throughout the world are facing economic crisis but if you look at the past the eurozone has actually been a huge success trade barriers have been dropped people could be employed in various countries around. europe actually has been a success despite what's happening now and what we're seeing is the eurozone itself showing some sort of unity in an effort to keep it all together. i don't know how

you can call it a success when greece is bankrupt portugal spain italy and hotshots france all these countries are dysfunctionally mismanaged economies managed being the mismanagement part of the whole equation because you cannot manage an economy only a free market can govern itself and these economies are trying are looking for more centralized control these economic situations that we see today are planned in my opinion and i believe that they are planned with the intent to create even more centralization more regulation and even less civil liberties for the people involved in the respective nations nations that make up the actual e.u. this is nothing i don't see how anybody can brand the e.u. is a success when you have a bankrupt overall conglomerate of nations and you're asking the those better off to bail out with even more debt more central banking assistance that is more money power standing behind the bailouts in order to create more centralized government

government governance i don't see how that's a success at all i think it's a total failure let me just ask you how is this referendum going to affect the g twenty summit tomorrow. high hopes i understand that developing nations will looking to help the e.u. with its crisis how willing will they be to help now obviously a lot of eyes turning towards asia for example. well as far as the referendum is concerned i would i would look back at what happened in ireland and what happens when a nation decides to vote negatively against anything that comes out of brussels or an e.u. superstate type of solution i believe that the greeks will be forced into accepting whatever a sturdy measures or whatever bailout packages are dropped in their laps brussels and the g twenty i don't believe that there will be anything more than more chaos more confusion which once again leads to more globalized solutions and certainly within the european superstate itself with the interest of the here we have to say to you thanks very much for your time to me while founder and editor in chief of

the daily mail dot com thanks for your time. well with greece up to its neck in economic and political strife another crisis could be just around the corner the existing mood of desperation caused by austerity pushes some greeks to make immigrants their scapegoats. we're going to turn now to our top story and that is that julian assange has lost his extradition case where he will now be by the looks of things extradited to sweden and we had our report a little earlier from laura smith outside the courts there in london and i understand now we can go live to talk more about the implications of today's verdict with a journalist a writer action returns thank you very much indeed for being with us now is there any chance of a sign of boarding extradition and if not what does he face once he is deported to sweden. getting murkier and murkier an astonishing verdict here in london they have

fourteen days of course to appeal but one thing that's interesting is that the swedish foreign minister carl bildt was in town in this town and with david cameron ironically irony of ironies at a summit to discuss cyber security i wonder whether the british prime minister and the swedish foreign minister at any time to talk about the. case this is this is a man who exposed the violations of so many governments around the world it seems they want to render him sweden for torture in the united states where you're a journalist what does it tell you about the aspects of freedom of speech we're seeing wiki leaks is an organization obviously being spun actually strangle at the moment now we're seeing this case with assigned himself what fears do you have. it is astonishing here in britain to see the way the case is being covered to organizations i used to work at the b.b.c.

the guardian newspaper the guardian of course had a deal with wiki leaks the kind. of character assassination around the world by mainstream media trying to attack this and it just goes to show what a state journalism is in. the london stock exchange protesters recently i don't suppose many of those mainstream journalists really understand what's going on over there i think one argument here is that the craft of journalism is in crisis should become some sort of overall professor of journalism and they should close all the universities courses in journalism down because he really did teach a lot of people that it's about speaking truth to power and speaking for the power less and the idea of him being in court and now the idea of him being rendered for torture in a state as we know is we carrying out rogue assassinations of its own citizens is is just breathtaking he's saying all this is politically motivated but do you really believe that u.k. judges are actually facing pressure from the u.s.

and they would make a decision not within a legal framework but from political pressure is doing the songs will be saying is that really a case of the u.k. locals could actually be influenced in that way. i guess your viewers will have to judge the judge decided on the inquiry into the causes of the death of government scientist david kelly head of the iraq war british judges are notorious being knobbled in this country i can't speak for this particular case and this particular judge it is a cause of juda said in this in this case of as they wait for the appeal but it is it is a terrifying indictment i think because this is so obviously in the public interest and he has had no charges there are no charges against truly innocent and yet he's standing here like this i mean ron paul the republican presidential candidate has even been supporting julian assange no support in this country and what on earth is the government of australia doing for this it is interesting he said no formal charges from sweden but of course no formal charges actually from the u.s.

at this stage although people are saying. journey to sweden will be just one stop on the way to the u.s. but why has there actually been no extradition request from across the atlantic and why are people assuming the fact that the u.s. will actually try to incriminate him. what a great big mystery it is of course we know that the obama administration is had resignations high profile resignations as well as press secretaries when they even expressed some kind of some kind of sensitivity about the holding of bradley manning seen by some as the source of wiki leaks stories one thing is for certain there are more c.d.'s there are more u.s. we drives exposing the misdoings by governments against their own people in circulation and whether they close wiki leaks down by a combination as you said of the master card pay pal and so forth more information is forthcoming and i don't believe that the american government the european

authorities as we are in this very strange julian assange case can't stop the free flow of information it's too late and i think that's probably why julius was speaking to the occupy movement i think that too can be amalgamated into certainly a new type of journalism and certainly a new type of information for the masses about how misgoverned they have been as we reach arguably the beginning of the end of capitalism as we knew it. thanks very much indeed actually returns he's joining us live in london journalist and writer thank you. well we're also interested what you think about the u.k. courts verdict to r.t. dot com that's our web site which is online all the time so far half of those who've responded think the u.s. is using the u.k. as a puppet again to send a lot of people believe the verdict is the result of a conspiracy to gag internet freedom four percent say it was a legitimate step towards a fair trial and the rest think the supreme court made over the decision anyway

submit your vote at r.t. . dot com. to libya now where the new prime minister says making sure human rights are respected as a top priority comes after a string of war crime allegations claiming n.-t. see photos of torturing people who want support on the side of gadhafi michel sure he's a former cia intelligence officer says it's inevitable consequence of the west interfering in other people's thing is 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 at once believed to be inevitable and as a result they're upset in 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 we have just created enormous reinforcement in terms of the people who are released

from libyan prisons and in terms of supplies of weapons for the islamists across north africa. russian investigators have concluded the crew applied the brakes during takeoff causing a plane crash in the us level that killed forty full in september well he's not old enough to give a listen to what the investigation committee had to say. the investigation has shown that those pilots were trained how to operate forty planes for a very long time and then they had to switch. and according to the committee those planes have a very different brake pads 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. strongly in fact someone's 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 for all this time a lot of the. fight apparently and from the conversations records from the black box in 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 culture weights all the parameters for the sake of being before hand so they were not prepared for flights. on the website you can find all the details. survivor if you can on how the families and families cope with. the drive to rebuild. next season. also a lot of moments fighting for their rights. trying to force their way into the ukrainian

parliament. comes to the benefits that's a more. the leaders of turkey and germany met on wednesday as the nation celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of historic guest worker pact the deal brought hundreds of thousands of west germany to industry the anniversary comes during heavy debate over the concept of multiculturalism you rich . he says failing haps simplifying this the office of a satirical french newspaper was far bond after in named prophet mohammed its editor in chief for the week son and m.p. from the danish people's party says that happened because extremists simply don't understand free speech. it's quite obvious that jodi has been targeted by fanatics who do not accept any critique subgroup of the ever legion and want us to lead them to to their ways thereby destroying the freedom of speech in europe and this really what sister of it's about it is

a question. i miss wanting to decide what can be serious what can be written and what came to be drawn in their way they're challenging how sweet they were 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 it's all right that might be provocative also what us posting but also what shirley don't believe in what in order to say you know we have a stand here we would say what we like we would laugh at what we like i think that's also very humid there's a lot so humor in what surely did 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 they have been marked. 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 who do not want us to have a white christmas 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 no r.t. sarah firth reports from greece where anti immigration sentiment is reaching a boiling point fueled by the country's economic woes. on the streets of greece protests have become a common occurrence this gatherings not one of the usual demonstrations and see ever gratian right that the ethnic tensions here in the city evidence of becoming more and more of a concern in the last three years illegal immigration into europe in greece in particular has skyrocketed as the greek economy has plummeted the crisis has 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 station circumstances have begun to point the finger of blame. on the problem 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 places neighborhoods that the dangers say first high immigrant population the local park here has become isn't mine a battleground. among the we have to close the pork because it was overrun with immigrants no one could cross the border everybody was scared and no group of people could come here it was not a playground. that children are now forced to play they again say outside the closed gates of the park after this area was named danger say whether or not the
