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 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 jims 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 when. pro quo be a corporate lobbyist police roadblocks demonstrate just getting through to the end of with the g. twenty takes place but it's becoming a hold its hearing the voices of protest. to greece where it's been confirmed the prime minister's proposed referendum on the latest will go ahead george papandreou school shocked e.u. leaders and spot also world markets and even came as a shock to greeks themselves with pro bono and peace calling for his immediate resignation the pm is now due to fly to the g. twenty meeting and to explain his actions to german chancellor angela merkel and french president nicolas sarkozy chief sponsors of this financial life support machine that is meanwhile the founder and editor in chief of the daily mail dot com has told me earlier that he believes the referendum is greece's last chance at

retaining its sovereignty. 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 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 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 want to localize level i don't see how anybody can brand the e.u. is a success when you have a bankrupt 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. and 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 cuts pushes some greeks to make immigrants scapegoats. still to come but first we could make 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 ortiz nor smith was at london's high court. well he's certainly one step closer to deplane following today's proceedings this rejection of his appeal against the extradition it's not certain that he will. he have 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 supremes cools the highest court in the land and that will only be granted if

it's deemed by the high court that this case represents a quite a precedent that it up but applies to the wider public and its results now that he is our sons did come out on to the steps of the old the high cool 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 who's they want people in that which the intensity has been that what the titans at the cool head today and directed them to do with his website just on to the suite to hear it from the horse's mouth what has happened what has happened and he also criticised 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 this 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 ourselves and his team considering that next steps in full 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 secret even 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 you know i do think the european arrest warrant should come under scrutiny because they're just being abused for political purposes. because when. i was in sweden he did go before the court should not. him to leave sweden once he was there he should have be tried if the told there was a case against him and then he was allowed to come here to england. and i believe that there was pressure put on the swedish 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 the doctor is. trying to get to make sure there is very great concern here in the united kingdom about extradition 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 courts where julian assange has now left he's gone back presumably to the house all full in 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 there in the court's decision texas june in the song to sweden

comes just over a week off to wiki leaks announced it was suspending activities due to a financial blockade journalism roger. as the mainstream media is adding to the persecution of a songe and his organization. it is astonishing here in britain to see the way the case is being covered two organizations i used to work at the b.b.c. the guardian newspaper the guardian of course had to deal with wiki leaks the kind of character assassination around the world by mainstream media trying to attack this man 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 julian has become some sort of overall professor of journalism and they should close all the university's courses in journalism down because he really did teach a lot of people that it's about speaking truth to power and speaking of the power

less and the idea of him being in court and now the idea of him being rendered for torture in a state that as we know is we carrying out rogue assassinations of its own citizens is is just breathtaking. interest in what you think about the u.k. courts verdict our dot com and let's have the cons screen at the moment so far the majority of those who've responded think that the u.s. is using the u.k. as a puppet again almost the same amount believe the verdict as a result of a conspiracy to gag internet freedom four percent say it was a digital it step towards a fair trial and the rest think that the supremes court may over all the decision anyway submit your vote we could hear from it r t v dot com. international atomic energy agency claims have discovered a secret nuclear complex in northwestern syria it says the design looks like a year in human richmond facility although it's being used as a cotton spinning plant but patrick a's a reporter who's been closely following the story says the only purpose of these

allegations is to make syria the new. yes this is a way of heaping more pressure on syria during a time when the uprisings are 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 to basically poke their nose into all areas of countries or to seem to be a bit suspicious a bit dodgy they're poking their noses in full what i would say political really appear to be political risk rather than for any reasons of security concerns at this current time and i think it's very telling they're choosing to do this at a time when the uprising to taken place what they're trying to do if they kind of effectively use other things as kind of modes of fro at the situation to try and affectively 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 watch you know one of the countries the former for example a new act of evil or something along those lines so i think it is being used for strategic reasons the only thing that 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 nose in and it's left to the syrian people to basically decide what they want to do and determine their own future. to libya now where the new prime minister says making sure human rights are respected is a top priority it comes after a string of war crime the negations claiming n.t.s.c. fighters are torturing people who want fought on the side of gadhafi like i'm sure a former cia intelligence officer says it's inevitable consequence of the west interfering in other people's affairs. 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 an 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 with the arab world still dealing with the ongoing political turmoil as he continues to delve deeper into hell foreign intervention affected the outcome of the arab spring and you can find the latest updates and videos on facebook page you can also have you'll say join the intense discussion in the comments all that in just a click of a mouse away facebook dot com slash t.v.
