diplomatic deadlock russia says. syria has moscow's proposed u.n. resolution calling on president assad to step down. you're watching live pictures right here from a london courtroom as wiki leaks founder julian us. supreme court appealing against extradition to sweden. u.s. backed by. insulting many jewish families across america. a

very warm welcome to you from all of us here at r.t. moscow rule received. the u.n. security council has agreed it wants to avoid military intervention in syria but differences remain over the way ahead for us as well as its european and arab allies one president assad gone from power for its part of russia says that he shouldn't be used as a platform for excessive interference in syrian affairs. the latest from new york. the united states france britain could talk are. all those countries supporting this draft resolution said that there would be no military intervention imposed in syria if the draft resolution was adopted but the most important thing to note is that those spearheading the push for this draft resolution are also calling for

a ceasefire in in syria and also calling for a national dialogue between the government and opposition groups these steps these calls are calls that have been made by russia for the last few months russia has indicated on tuesday that it will veto a draft resolution on syria in which the tax calls for imposes any regime change and leaves a rhetorical door open for military intervention similar to what the world saw transpire in libya this unity council cannot prescribe a radio disappears for the outcome of domestic political purposes it's not in the charter we don't want the security council to call him to fall into the habit because once you start as difficult to stop then you will start telling what king needs to do you know what prime minister needs to step down this is really not the business of the security council moscow has proposed its own draft resolution on

syria which calls for both parties participating in the violence to come to the negotiating negotiating table and take part in a dialogue this is an invitation that russia recently made to representatives of the syrian government and opposition groups earlier this week to try to get them to come to moscow and participate in talks with russia has taken a positive position the draft resolution most cooper proves demands an immediate end to the violence another positive point. is the call for the government and the opposition to sit down for talks who will want a political solution to the crisis in syria in the coming days the security council will be working to try to come to a consensus on the text of a resolution on syria but if the tax remains as it's been presented calling for president bashar al assad to step down and leaving the door open for military

intervention this is something that russia firmly will be opposed to talking to marina port neither reporting what the west has made a habit of using the u.n. to legalize as a means of regime change in other countries but this according to a peace activist. that's the whole idea of these resolutions that there are how tightly they are constructed they will always be construed to do whatever the u.s. government the british government want to do but one thing's for certain this is a problem for the syrian people to resolve not for the u.s. government the british government the united nations this is a problem for the syrian people so obviously that the main thrust of u.s. foreign policy is regime change we've seen that time and time again it begins with sanctions it goes into embargoes blockade but ultimately the quest is to remove a recalcitrant dictatorship install a u.s.

regime even if it happens to be a dictatorship so this is another classic example of where the u.s. is but in india other people's affairs when it really has no business doing so. i had a coming up this hour here on it's going to be people and his guests on cross-talk at this time debating the hurdles in the way of breaking the deadlock of the ongoing syrian crisis. to hold negotiations between all of the different parties and as we know the syrian national council you know one of the main opposition blocs has essentially rejected that offer possibly with some foreign encourage went behind them because one of the stipulations that they made one of the preconditions for the talks was that assad should resign so they wanted an old come. come of a process as

a preliminary condition and so the possibility of negotiations is very unlikely and from my point of view it's starting to resemble a bit what was happening in libya where the opposition consistently refused to engage in any sort of peaceful negotiations. and we as always i welcome your input here and you can share your thoughts on the situation in syria just by going to our website dot com you could right now take part in our latest poll this bring up this our numbers not to change from last hour forty four percent now saying it will end with a russia china veto over a third thinks the u.n. is simply being used by the west to further its aims in syria less than a quarter believe it will finish with a continued u.s. effort to overthrow the assad regime and just one percent thinks there will be an agreement on the motion i do have head over to our web site at www dot com cost you

has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. it is good to have you with us today here on a c britain's supremum court is hearing an appeal by wiki leaks founder julian assange on his extradition to sweden over allegations of sexual assault dating back to august two thousand and ten denies any wrongdoing and says the claims are politically motivated that's course live now to london and told all he's a lawyer smith for more on this laura hello to you so what are we expecting from today and could this be the last chance for songs to fight his extradition. well indeed the building that you see behind me. could literally be last chance saloon thought you know stones at least in this country this is a two day hearing which began this morning is expected to carry on until the end of

the day in which he will present his case to see priem courts to try and have this request for his next extradition recent days if he does fail here he can then take his case the european course if human rights. in stroudsburg but that is not a given and certainly this is the supremes court in this country say this is his last chance for this legal wrangling here in britain which has been going on for more than a year now a soldier rived this morning looking fairly relaxed it has to be stats that he stopped on his way into court to shake hands with a couple of his supporters who were here some had been here apparently since five o'clock this morning to show you their support for a thousand that he headed into court without saying anything to the assembled media which he's taken to doing in the last months at the he will be presenting his case in front of seven judges and they will be looking at a key question which is whether the european arrest warrant that was issued for him by the swedish prosecutor is valid can the swedish prosecutor in fact issue

a european arrest warrant and this could in fact call into question the entire system of european arrest warrants and under which of course we know that people could be extradited within europe having little or no evidence presented against them now of course this case is all relating to sexual assault charges that took place in august two thousand and ten while a soldier was in stockholm it's alleged that he raped one woman and sexually molested uncoerced another has always said that that sex was consensual and he's also always said that it was police and the these charges are in fact all these allegations are politically motivated he was of course instrumental in wiki leaks publishing diplomatic cables which embarrassed several governments and several international companies as well we are not expecting the outcome of this case to be announced in the next couple of days as the plane court has that it could take them some weeks to come to a judgment that could mean anything pertaining to two and and ten weeks as far as

we know but we also know that one of the things that science has been truly worried about through this entire proceeding is that once in sweden he could be extradited straight from that to america. i might tell my colleague tom barton has been to stop trying to look at the relationship between sweden and the united states but this is his report with more on lance. the face that launched a thousand leaks julian a son does exposure of tens of thousands of secret documents has embarrassed governments the world over but the wiki leaks phenomenon is no longer his most pressing concern the swedish authorities want to question a songe over allegations of sexual assault dating back to august two thousand and ten prosecutors have been criticized by a son just supporters and international civil libertarians with allegations of a cumbersome contradictory and slow legal process huge arguments have also broken

out over the nature of some of sweden's laws on sexual offenses such as those a son faces it's going to be a closed course and leading up to the trial is going to be held. while the prosecutor asked for him to be held in solitary confinement it's just. so there are so many bizarre aspects of the why in which the amount of matter is being conducted up till now. from our perspective i just can't see how he would get a fair trial others have gone beyond legal arguments saying that the storm raised by our sons through wiki leaks has made him a target for political interference across the atlantic u.s. or thora te's enraged at having their secret documents exposed may seek to have a son extradited there to stand trial but surely sweden's famed neutrality would stop such a thing but i would disagree that's whether threw it in is an outright country sit

in a very clear cut. proximity and collaboration even in military operations. such campaigns initiated by nature you have for instance. so it's presence in afghanistan you have a clear cut it brought nato policy on it back to sweden and that is not to try to do with some u.s. politicians branding a sound a cyber terrorist and calling for the death penalty it could get a lot worse for the wiki leaks founder the problem is not that we have too much wiki leaks we have too little. i think with people ok with. who is a national public polls to indicate that very large majorities applaud and support the efforts of wiki leaks the why do worry is that with or without

julian asuncion governments around the world with something to hide will now launch full scale assaults on internet freedom in order to keep their secrets secret but for now the focus is on the man not his website killing our son just connections with sweden have raised many questions about what really happened in august two thousand and ten but now with the sun just future as uncertain as ever questions are being leveled at sweden's legal system and its relationship with the united states which could prove crucial to the fate of the world's most notorious whistleblower tom watson r.t. stockholm sweden i know you can watch a live transmission of his extradition hearing online just log on to our dot com and while i do stay with us sir just ahead for you this hour it's going to be a campaign full of controversy.

find out why a series of ads paid for by the israeli government has left millions of american jews feeling insulted now let's turn to the katie katie hello to you we understand you have some big news from the realm of business today. is right today is the most anticipated i.p.o. listing in the last decade is expected and it is indeed. my plan to sell a twelve percent stake of up to ten billion dollars the question is. probably still king about this in the business bulletin and about ten minutes time. and specters from the un's nuclear watchdog say that iran seems committed to resulting old nuclear issues at stake when it comes after a three day visit by the i.a.e.a. which tehran's called constructive experts have been attempting to verify the

peaceful nature of iran's atomic program the west has recently stepped up its economic sanctions against the islamic republic suspecting it of developing nuclear weapons washington's intelligence chief has warned of an increasing likelihood that iran could attack america or its allies the us is meantime a beefing up its military presence in the persian gulf by sending a third aircraft carrier to the region former cia analyst ray mcgovern says people have been misled into thinking iran is a clear and present danger. if you look at the polls seventy percent of the american people believe that iran already has a nuclear weapon that's exactly the same percentage of people in two thousand and two who were persuaded by what i call the funding corporate media to believe that saddam hussein was working on nuclear weapons it's bizarre what did the defense ministers of america and israel say they say the readings working on

a nuclear weapon know if the arrhenius were working on a nuclear weapon they would have to kick out he wouldn't specters he would know that and they don't want that at all they are not working on nuclear weapon they have not yet decided to do so so the facts are the offense ministers both intelligence agencies and say the way they say it is they have not yet decided to do nuclear weapons well that means that the i mean simple english means they're not working on a nuclear weapon going to war if on a contrived synthetic if you have to take five steps back and say what is this all about this is about a nuclear capability right now it was about it's about regime change you want you know it's a lot from moscow now china is the world's fifth largest holder of gold and it seems to be in the market for just a bit more it's believed beijing snapped up around five hundred.
