wiki leaks founder julian assange is a step closer to extradition to sweden after the u.k. supreme court rejected his appeal lawyers say he can still find the decision and could reopen the case. by default confusion and conflicting reports over the houla massacre prove no barrier to further demonizing france now threatening military intervention in syria. allegations that saudi arabia is going well beyond the call of duty and of support for syrian military with suicide bombers apparently being auctioned off to join a rebel way. speculation over reports washington parachuted

spies into north korea inside it's a fresh wave of tension and distrust on the korean peninsula. you're watching our live from moscow where breaking news this hour after a protective legal battle and over five hundred days of house arrest in london we can weeks founder julian assange his appeal against extradition to sweden has been dismissed let's cross live to our correspondent sara she was in the court now joins us live with the latest where does our sergeant his team go from here. well julian assange was a nazi in court today when that judgment was passed rejecting his appeal against that extradition to sweden but it's not yet he's being granted

a fourteen day extradition stay that's while his legal team try to get an appeal to reopen this case another point on some of the points that were made in the judgment that they say they haven't had time to respond to say that's the immediate steps that you're going to see taken if that fails then you could see today in a songe put on that plane to sweden but it's very likely you're going to see his legal team taking this fight to the european court of human rights and certainly amongst the supporters he turned out here today a real sense of disappointment and this is really not just as a loss for julian assange and his team but also for the british justice system as well now i'm joined by u.k. and he gerald pathan thank you very much for joining us today what exactly does this ruling mean the british justice system well you see what they've actually said to die and it was this was this was this saudi donor submission that was put by the lawyers and put an intervention in as well as what is the meaning of

a judicial authority now. we argued and the joy is argued that a judicial authority meant a proper job or a court of law because it's a centuries old principle of english law that you cannot be a judge in your own case and the prosecutor in sweden was going to try this crisis therefore the person also the person requesting extradition so it wasn't in. pendent the call actually referring to an extraordinary joint judgment in my view which was that the original you framework decision used the french word or forty judicial which had a wide variety of meanings including a prosecutor so although our own parliament and our own government minister believes a judicial authority means a proper court or a proper judge that was overturned and it was decided that the french the wording of the story the meaning of the word in french was actually what mattered and therefore they threw out the submission i think it's extraordinary it means that now english law has been decided on the meaning of a french word absolutely there is this concern that you know the swedish authority

in the us the in this case has sort of in a sense overridden the british justice system here well i have to tell you that the british justice system has been overridden by the e.u. now for some time they're creating their own system of criminal law the european arrest warrant is a key part of this and in fact i've written about it in a book recently which i just published and in fact the english and scottish courts now have no power to protect people from extradition they really have no power to prevent an extradition provided a piece of pipe has been correctly filled out name address the nature of the offense i don't have to supply any evidence and the court is not allowed to take into account the problem the facia evidence or lack of it against the accused person you know as mr saunders five found out this is not about the evidence against him about whether it stacks up or not it's about the meaning of a word in french thank you very much for joining us and you heard there in the evidence against julian assange has been widely misconstrued and misreported as

well a lot of facts of the case haven't been presented that clearly say a real sense here today that certainly justice hasn't been served when it comes to dealing the sons. all right sarah firth live for us in the london of course after the protracted legal battle on over five hundred days of house arrest in london julia songes appeal against extradition to sweden has been dismissed but like sarah said it's not over and it is expected that he will try to appeal the case. while julian assange is standing his ground against extradition from the u.k. you series of interview programs continues here on our t.v. in about twenty five minutes he is joined by the leaders of the occupy movement worldwide to discuss the cornerstone of democracy freedom of speech here's a look at what's to come. i think in terms of the rule of law i mean my own

experience just is if one citizen one dollar one vote is so radical that it's got me written up in australian security mag you know tied to al qaeda and i'm getting private messages from other security contractors that have relationships with the f.b.i. telling me that you know be careful you're somehow connected to al qaeda that tells me at least. it's an intimidation tactic you know essentially. well u.n. investigators have only just begun to piece together exactly what happened during the bloody massacre in the syrian township of who but some nations are waiting for conclusive proof before declaring president also the guilty opinion based largely on a number of unverified accounts on the situation is further confused by a plethora of witness reports but i mean rebel islam is a gangs for the slaughter. explains. the united nations secretary general

and the u.n. supervision mission in syria have been tasked with the responsibility of investigating who was responsible for last week's massacre in syria but in the meantime the u.s. and its allies are taking unilateral moves that some critics say could possibly provoke further bloodshed and compromise a fragile ceasefire that has been held in the country now according to the u.n. high commissioner for human rights eighty percent of the one hundred syrians who were found dead in houla were executed and less than twenty were killed by artillery fire clearly we see the united nations is very much focused on finding out who was responsible for the massacre in syria that unfolded last week but in the meantime the u.s. ambassador to the united nations susan rice says the syrian government is fully responsible for quote the hideous massacre of innocents in houla the u.s.

diplomat also took to her twitter page to accuse the syrian government of point blank brutalizing its people in the meantime syrian diplomats were expelled from australia canada spain britain italy germany and france the newly elected french president francois hollande during a t.v. interview said that international military intervention in syria could be a possibility through the backing of a un security council resolution now leads a walker contributor to the modern tokyo times news website someone who is closely following the syrian crisis so there is an obvious media bias over a trial so these committed by the rebels. i don't believe it's a fair judgment because at the moment nobody knows which side did to my surprise and there's also another massacre. where we know the islam is killed two entire

families to receive period. this also use it in she will service it i have witnessed in the state that terrorists have no military arms this is completely ridiculous is clearly that an agenda is happening against syria and that saudi arabia turkey and other nations are allowed being allowed to supply terrorists. and basically if a massacre happens by the terrorist acts ignored if the syrian army try to defend the people then they get conned and well outside support for syria's armed groups is no secret saudi arabia and qatar alone funnel millions of dollars to the rebels every month but as art is going to camera ports it's not just cash and weapons being smuggled into syria but ideology. this is said to be an auction taking place at a hotel in saudi arabia what's on sale is

a human life the video shows a father offering his son as a suicide bomber into syria and raising money as compensation i give the products of my knowing and secret sacrifice his brother is already a martyr yes that is we're going to send him to then. let's start the bidding two hundred thousand riaz the chilling footage was leaked on the web we cannot independently confirm its original source or authenticity. they are sacrificing their lives we need you to sacrifice your money don't be stingy. syria has seen a dramatic increase in suicide bombings the syrian government has been raising the alarm about its gulf neighbor sponsoring and staging terrorist attacks in their country why so how do you lose tonight. but it seems here in the west nobody hears their outcry the spotlight is placed solely on the actions of the syrian government

in the meantime saudi arabia qatar and other gulf states are flooding millions of dollars worth of weapons into syria while u.s. officials say they are providing their gulf allies with intelligence and command and control infrastructure the statements we hear from the state department is that . the u.s. is there to help the opposition with. non-lethal weapons however if others would provide the lethal weapon we will manage that so it's lots of hypocrisy the gulf countries are not the brains behind this they are merely instruments. the brains you can find them in the u.s. and israel in some countries the u.s. is formally committed to kofi annan as u.n. backed peace plan which calls for a halt to violence by all sides of the conflict but some analysts say the influx of foreigners and increasing number of suicide bombings make peace in syria virtually impossible and plunges it deeper into chaos the syrian regime plays an active role

in supporting the palestinian resistance the lebanese resistance in claiming rights and palestine and things like this and this is not doesn't sit well with the so if we can not change the role of syria we will destroy syria so that it doesn't have any international monitors are on the ground investigating the massacre in houla where it's not clear who's fully responsible for the deaths of over one hundred men women and children also on a regular basis they observed destruction from suicide bombings which bear all the signs of terrorist attacks we need. to understand that this is going only to create more suffering for the women and children the syrian people outside syria back in saudi arabia a young man named ali was allegedly sold with the equivalent of four hundred thousand dollars maybe only a million and a half million and we have

a winner right here. we don't know the fate of khalid maybe he is now on his way to syria to bomb something or maybe he is behind one of the deadly blasts which already happened there with the u.s. supporting the proactive approach of its golf allies with regards to syria the question one might ask is could it be tacitly supporting extremism like this as well i'm going to check our reporting from washington. now in our tease cross talk coming up at eleven thirty am g.m.t. peter the valid question is whether foreign intervention is the way to bring an end to the vicious civil war in syria can the calls for armed action coming from the u.s. be justified with so much blood already on washington's hands. and of the big if there is going to be an intervention i would tend to think they will be along those lines it's not that we're not going to see a rerun of iraq not even though rerun of libya ok some reason why it is

a rerun of iraq go ahead so i'm going to say it's a rerun of iraq it's a rerun of iraq post original goal for reducing you know no fly zones humanitarian corridors so i kind of thing that or nowhere near as benign as they want you want to jump in there. though i think i think that's where the rock is a sort of terrible example doozie i would say those who knows the creative destruction us in washington may come up with an even newer more disastrous unique form of chaos worsley from the proof the syrians or iraqis will have to also know. the u.s. and south korean special forces have reportedly been parachuting into north korea to spy on a network of secret underground military installations that's according to a high ranking american military commander in charge of special operations in the region well the pentagon says is hiding as many as twenty air bases and vast

artillery supplies ready for an iron fist response in the event of foreign intervention invasion experts say that if the claims of spy landings are true it violates existing agreements and will only escalate tensions on the peninsula gregory clark a former australian diplomat based in tokyo believes the incident coincides with washington strive for the build up of its military might in the pacific. it's a constant quest to know exactly what the other side is up to and the more important is the timing of this announcement and one side to stiffen the u.s. policy. is probably the far east so i think it's part of the effort to put pressure on north korea this is definitely there's been a change in the whole atmosphere one thing that's the battle between the forces go to washington make up their mind. well the fate being forecast for another

so-called rogue state you're wrong is the topic of our exclusive interview coming up next hour we speak to israel's deputy prime minister about the ongoing fuehrer and golfing tehran's nuclear program here's a look at where are being filed. against the iranian nuclear capabilities. by all players. from the worth of other countries probably on the table from we. think for going to the north everything should be made public but i think that this is a serious better it's a very serious matter and i think it should be taken care of very seriously and think all sorts of actions and i don't speak of war here. my parents really truly honestly believe that what had happened was as a result of my father's exposure to agent orange i was born with multiple problems

. i was missing my leg and my fingers and my big toe on my right foot i use my hands a lot in my artwork i find myself drawing my hands quite a bit to me for my hands you know just as if anyone would. but they do tell a story they tell us story of. the oxen. to

on temporary or part time jobs and according to e.u. figures more employees in britain are forced into part time jobs than anywhere else in europe workers' union unison thinks the government is making it worse by blaming austerity there is as you know off the. are two measures going on particularly in the developed world and this government since being elected is exploiting that opportunity because this government hates the government it's pro individualize ation and pro market and that's why it's so ruthless place to be and cutting more ruthlessly than needs to be at this particular time meanwhile kathy takes not back off to not back but keeps on hoping they can lighten up the confidence or sink in a mouthful that is a little and loving. the reasons. coffee along with thousands of
