in two thousand and eight he was extradited to the u.s. in two thousand and ten to face trial or to his report brings us more from new york well just one day after deliberations began a jury of twelve handed down that verdict and the verdict is that they found the russian businessman businessman victor food guilty on all the charges that were leveraged against him by the united states and those charges include conspiring to kill americans are conspiring to kill u.s. officials trafficking rockets and also he was charged with supplying arms to the revolutionary armed forces of colombia an organization the united states deems as terrorists now this this trial of victor boot went on for about three weeks but his presence here in the united states has garnered a lot of attention as we've been reporting the u.s. fought very hard to get victor victor boot extradited from thailand to the

u.s. over a year ago but that fight was was taking place since mr coote was arrested during a sting operation in thailand in march two thousand and eight. as pled not guilty on all the charges and he still maintains his innocence his attorney albert diane did speak to the press following today's events that took place in court he believes that this is not the end that he still has a chance that we have a chance to will again we can appeal to this judge. that the verdict was rendered against the weight of the evidence and that we could also proceed to the united states court of appeals but we are disappointed at this verdict now that he's been found guilty on these charges he faces a sentence of anywhere between twenty five years and life in prison or to his more important reporting for us there now sticking with the story george mappin investigative journalist who's been following the case says it was too shocked to react to the news. the case against rick the boot for all practical purposes is

case closed you know albert diane after the jury was dismissed and victor boot just stood there basically is seen as it is as if he was in shock he he didn't we act whatsoever in any way as that as if he was lifeless he didn't even turn around to face anybody and he does this kind of you know it was basically nonexistent so diane did file a motion for a new trial i believe on december second however no d.n.a. operation relentless was you know targets or pursue victim by any means necessary in that way through millions of dollars and it was it was done on several different continents and they had d.n.a. informant highly paid d.a. informants dea agents and coconspirators so once they have him here now it is almost impossible to i think you know he'll ever leave the united states russia has

repeatedly criticized boots extradition from thailand to the united states as extreme injustice but as international extradition lawyer douglas mcnabb says under u.s. law it is possible to kidnap people they deem to be a threat. there is u.s. supreme court before. it is ok. to go into a foreign country and in contravention of that foreign countries law kidnap an individual and bring him to the u.s. to stand trial in the u.s. and the fact that that individual was kidnapped in contravention of local law does it is not the body to have the indictment which i see. potentially issues could be right with regard to be appeal i'm not hopeful that those who are going to be successful issues to be given the state of the u.s. supreme court or thorpey with regard to extradition i think or beyond. another foreign national in prison in the u.s. has already served his sentence but his ordeal isn't over. a cuban intelligence

officer is released after thirteen years in jail on spying charges but despite having served his sentence he's being kept from returning to his family that story coming up in a few minutes. the g. twenty is about to get under way amid controversy after the greek prime minister was summoned to an emergency meeting with france and germany this comes after the shock announcement that greece would hold a referendum on a euro bailout there will be no bailout for athens until after the public vote reporting from cannes artes and he said no it has more. it's europe france versus the euro skeptics at this year's g. twenty basically the camp summit has been hijacked like this euro crisis after the greek prime minister dropped a bombshell saying that his country would hold a referendum on whether or not to make cuts and except this latest batch of bailouts being pushed by germany and france well the greek prime minister was

summoned and told by anglo merkel nicolas sarkozy the host of this year's summit of the i.m.f. and the european central bank that basically the country needs to play by their rules or get out of the euro zone saying that his decision to hold this referendum was unilateral other to change the psychological situation of the euro crisis but some of the analysts we've been speaking to say that in a very sarcastic way it will got through big the greek people should be the ones to just find the fate of their country perish the thought of the people who are the victims of the various so-called rescue packages that the e.u. and the i.m.f. and the e.c.b. of cooked up for the last eighteen months or so perish the thought that they should be allowed to decide whether they want these things well some still think no matter what the outcome here in cannes that for greece the outcome in the end will be all the same i believe that the greeks will be forced into accepting whatever a sturdy measures. or whatever bailout packages are dropped in their laps via

brussels and the g twenty the emerging economies were meeting of course in this year's g twenty including russia have been saying for years that the financial system has to be completely remodelled of course in a global sense now we have people in america in europe from the store and coming out and trying to their leaders that something needs to be changed so certainly today we will be hearing some criticism perhaps of these emerging economies of course are a big part of the g twenty summit perhaps not hearing their voices not as much as the g. seven the g. twenty of course created at the height of the two thousand and eight financial crisis to solve those global economic problems but the questions being asked what has changed and will the voices of these emerging economies this time round her reporting from town and he says now we are to. wiki 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 a politically motivated artie's laura smith was at london's high court. he seventy one step places 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 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 they said european arrest warrants now following that they would achieve in a silence came out on the steps of the high court to make a short statement he said that they would be in the legal team 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 website sweeten buses the songs and he also criticize the european arrest warrant and say what he had to say i have not been charged with any crime in any country. the spark with the european arrest warrant is so restrictive that it prevents u.k. court from considering the power over. as judge to have made clear here today that 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 sense that himself. out the coolest themselves being able to look at that evidence will come under scrutiny. of cool stereo many he still maintain that this case is entirely politically mace of a sage and indeed that if i sound is extradited to sweden he will go to the united states and if indeed that is the case then it looks like it's what wiki leaks his life's work essentially is under serious threats they have a critical still to the shortage of funding and phones himself has said that it may be forced to close in the new year. or two's laura smith reporting there and as always though we are interested in what you think about the u.k. courts verdict or to dot com. so far the majority of those who have responded think the u.s. is using the u.k. as a puppet again almost the same amount of people believe the verdict is the result of

windows got smashed out we were talking to some of the witnesses they saw several people of faces were wrapped in black sort of scarves their faces were heading in stark contrast really to the behavior of the occupy wall street protesters for the most part here in downtown oakland we have not seen this kind of destruction of property and mass it was quite interesting actually to see some of the witnesses sort of disagreeing about these tactics you know the destruction of the means of wealth the property is this something that could perhaps gain greater attention to the cause or something that gives the protesters a bad name something that on the face of the movement exactly is now with the movement is about it's about freedom and peace and equality and a few an artist like behind all this is the same people trying to smash the whole foods but this is not what the move it's about it's about returning and stopping the thievery stopping the corporatocracy and changing this this is a nasty side effect that might have to happen for there to be change as i'm saying

but this is not the face of the movement and there are literally thousands of people here in downtown oakland today for the most part again these protests have been very peaceful people were marching in the streets singing campaigning holding up signs and banners but again on occasion we do see wreckage like this here at the wells fargo bank which was smashed open by a small select group of protesters not the kind of behavior we see in across but something that we definitely just stumbled upon here today for our team from oakland i'm lucy catherine of. russian investigators have concluded that incorrect braking was the cause of the september plane crash that killed forty four people among those killed were almost an entire ice hockey team from the office level on their way to their first match of the season the probe found traces of a strong sedative in the co-pilot's blood but it is unclear who was behind the error that led to the fatal accident artie's an italian overcover reports on the findings of the investigation committee. the investigation has shown that says

those pilots were trained how to operate yet forty planes for a very long time and then they had to switch to forty two days and according to the committee those two planes have a very different brake pads all systems which share the pilots didn't have enough time to get used to you and so that could have been done by mistake another reason there is a jesse is one of the pilots was suffering from a strong neurological condition which shows 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 community for all this time a lot of the documents that 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 it's probably as they sounded very negligent there was a lot of swearing and the interstates to aviation committee i was actually saying

i've got to go to college thank you very much for being with us today and so the global economy is in a pretty bad shape and especially the eurozone regardless the last e.u. summit is going to influence the g twenty summit twenty summit will focus on the state of the global economy clearly. issues related to the possibility here. are supporting sustainable growth we'll be in the center of the discussion in the first day of the sun and. more technical nature of real way from the

passions and you can ask a honestly for example last year's twenty summit was worth something about one billion dollars. people don't really think that anything comes out of this and especially when it comes to plausible solutions to the real problems world is facing. for example last summit suggested that world needs more financial regulation and that countries with big budget deficits should cut those deficits and the countries with large surpluses in external trade should encourage internal consumption any of this been implemented. to conduct the sun itself is cheaper and cheaper from time to time and money being spent in a more efficient way than before the second are the important to understand the while during this time it's more specific decisions are being made. because of national policies conducted by national governments are important result this

current before that it. could face much. more difficult consequences financial turmoil that happened. a thousand take but what are you guys deciding on this summits and g. twenty that you can't decide of the phone. when leaders look. for each other final outcome is much more efficient being informed conversations are too formal for those kinds of decisions especially given the differences. in the traditions and use of our various nations but like in your opinion what would you say so far has been the biggest achievement concrete achievement of g twenty in europe are i would say that. trying to play a role for the decision. making process.

in europe to resolve to turn to pressure would be a lot easier than what we're sort of like left with faced with fundamental problems in global economy with the u.s. debt the eurozone crisis or the euro crisis we still have the lack of global financial oversight what do this factor leave us with i mean are we headed for a recession or a second round of recession there is a commitment from all g twenty countries to cut budget deficits where budget deficits are high and we expect to all countries to follow suit to implement what they committed. to do and this will help to achieve the degree of fiscal cliff liberation needed to calm the markets and. start a new cycle of growth occupy wall street i know that you guys are used to having protests wherever you go whether it's people who are against globalization or

environmentalists but occupy wall street have promised this time to two states protesting can do you think maybe after all these people have a point i mean introducing one per cent tax or financial transactions and currency trade. it's actually enough money to finance most social and environmental that it is in the world i think that people who. go to the streets to send a signal to go to the government's point and. the point is that all things that they're gone through doing should be related to the people's needs. one example in russia is the creation of international financial center a mosque or some people believe that it's just a toy that your brain creates and. this you know for banks and other financial institutions to florida but did not if you will. built all financial

center in such a way people real go into occupy. financial center rise and wall street should be our financial center in such a way that it will help people to get. good services cheaper services. to her for a more convenient life in general. as far as a tax and financial transaction is concerned i think current congress can decide on their own with introduce such docs or not you believe that russia would go for. enough taxes for all kinds of texas and those stocks are sufficient to finance. all social programs if collected properly and used properly so we don't need to know other tax. in in russia we believe that this tax will hurt the economy of t.v. tim but in some other countries so would be and believes that this kind of test

might be useful why not i think about russia's g. twenty eight to the russian president thank you very much. i've i've
