and speculation over reports washington parachuted spies into north korea inside a fresh wave of tension and distrust on the korean peninsula. on air and online twenty four hours a day this is r.t. live from moscow with me wrong. the u.k. supreme court has dismissed wiki leaks founder julian assange has appeal against extradition to sweden he's wanted for questioning over alleged sex crimes firth was outside the courthouse in london. julian assange was in in court today when the judgment was passed with jack saying his appeal against the extradition to sweden and now it's not over yet he's now got a fourteen day extradition for

a while still legal same going to be appealing against some of the points that were raised in the judgment they will the case reopened saying they haven't had a child to respond to some of the basic points that were raised thirty after that if that fails you could see julian assange on a plane being sent sweden to face questioning a sexual assault charge is very likely that you are going to see his legal team taking this fight even further to the european court of human rights real sense today among his supporters that the turned out that this isn't just a loss for julian assange but for the british justice system as a whole and i'm joined now by n.e.p. gerald pathan what they've actually said today and so it was this was this was this saudi donor submission that was put by the lawyers and i thought put an intervention in as well as what is the meaning of a judicial authority now. we argued in the dollars argued that a judicial authority meant a proper jarred or a court of law because it's a centuries old principle of english law that you cannot be

a judge in your own curries and the prosecutor in sweden was going to try this crisis therefore the person also the person requesting extradition so it was an independent call actually referring to an extraordinary joint judgment in my view which was that the original you framework decision used the french word for it you do to show 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 core or a proper judge that was overturned and it was the saudi 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 authorities the u.s. 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 the english and scottish courts now have no power to protect people from extradition i really have no power to prevent an extradition providing 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 assad just found out this is not about the evidence against him about whether it starts up or not it's about the meaning of a word in french thank you very much for joining us when you heard that he did the evidence against julian assange says be 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 julian assange. for you sorry for us right there we're just a bit earlier she prepared this report looking back at the case against the sun's heat in the sun just how that is

a modern day cheats wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks that the many of the same people he had championed ten have now joined this may campaign aimed at silencing hand julian assange is a cyber terrorist and war time he should be killed and we've got to apprehend mr aslan's the founder of wiki leaks and bring him to justice as a violator of the espionage act because if we don't this will keep happening the dead man can't leaks that this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be so and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death i don't want to do it illegally shoot the son of a very short time off that we could be. released to launch a number of u.s. diplomatic cables suddenly the case was reopened and the prosecutors decided that they didn't want to investigate and interview him. it could be just a coincidence but taken together with a general witch hunt against julian and we could be as it does look

a bit suspicious why is it that i am kept. under electronic house arrest. when i have not even been charged in any country sweden wants him extradited for questioning ava sexual conduct allegations of having unprotected yet consensual sex . and with this climb unique to sweden many a questioning why he found himself on the same interpol list alongside senior mexican drug lords the european arrest warrant system is basically a no questions asked system because it works on a tick box basis prosecutors in one state can essentially fill in a form and if they have ticked the correct boxes about the nature of the offense that's been committed then extradition will be ordered no questions asked the european commission has acknowledged that these arrest warrants are being misused the no questions asked these judges very little discretion to refuse the warrant

the outcome of the case could have why did play cations the human rights issue. when wiki leaks published u.s. embassy cables it gave the world an unprecedented insight into u.s. government take to vittie and revealed some uncomfortable truths it's time to think the will be our own sound and it's also important that it's really. no longer necessary but democratic process is something that now seems to be lacking he could be locked up with very little access to the outside world he will be allowed to see a priest and he will be allowed to see a lawyer but his ability to speak to others family members the media to read newspapers and to access the internet could be severely restricted. but the united states may use the liberal extradition laws in sweden to then give him fast track

to go states where he could face really serious charges effectively of a real enemy by the release of the ribbon cables. i think this will sound a chilling effect to all to turn to a whistle blows that if they do challenge the secrecy and do. many cases. states they will face retribution and is why his many supporters have to make sure that night which sounds normally keeley a sign of terror. and while as you lynas sanchez mean standing his ground against extradition from the u.k. his series of interview programs continue right here on r c a next hour he is joined by the leaders of the global occupy movement to discuss the cornerstone of democracy that our freedom of speech is a preview. so let's talk to me about the the rule of lauren and look

it was one of the the reviewers the bridge seems to be. absolutely i mean i think that you know at the base of any kind of what in the case the united states is a democratic republic or at least it's said to be a democratic republic there are several institutions there's the civic square there's the press and there's elections and when those things are in the hands of people the institutions sort of find their health you know because they check each other i think in terms of the rule of law i mean my own experience just if if one citizen one dollar one vote is so radical that it's got me written up in australian security 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 immediately. it's an intimidation tactic you know essentially.

and if you missed any of the shows or you can find them in our special section on our website songe. dot com still to come on the program here on our to you know just a few minutes away the world u.k. citizens chase every available job where you can see the country's economic troubles and leave the labor just in time to those. top of the hour here in moscow u.n. investigators have only just begun to piece together exactly what happened during the bloody massacre in the syrian town ship of houla but some nations are not waiting for conclusive proof before declaring president assad guilty opinion based largely on a number of unverified accounts the situation is for the confused by a plethora of witness reports blaming rebel islamist the gangs for the slaughter marina portnoy reports. 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 cease fire that has been held in the country now according to the u.n. high commissioner for human rights eighty percent of the one hundred eight 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. or an important. contributor to the tokyo times news website that someone who's following the syrian crisis as well so there's an obvious media bias glossing over atrocities committed by the ramble. i don't believe it's a fair judgment because at the moment nobody knows which side did the massacre and there's also another massacre called a year where we know all the islam is killed two entire families to receive period but immediately this also used to do you will service the other eye witness to the

. terrorist. camps this is completely ridiculous it's clearly that an agenda is happening against syria and saudi arabia turkey and other nations are allowing 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 the myriad of syria's armed groups is no secret saudi arabia and qatar alone funneled millions of dollars to the rebels every single month but as artie's guy nature can report it's not just cash and weapons being smuggled into syria but ideology as well. 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 losing money as compensation i think the product of

my you know we see great sacrifice his brother is already a martyr yes that is we're going to send him to them but. let's start the bidding two hundred thousand rio's 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. so how do you lose too much. 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 that if their weapons we will manage that so it's. 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 arms 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

eyebright and palestine and things like this and this is not doesn't sit well with with israel 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 for the equivalent of four hundred thousand dollars maybe only a million and a half million and we have a winner but. we don't know the fate of khalid maybe he is now on his way to syria

to bomb something where 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 passably supporting extremism like this as well i'm going to check our reporting from washington. and r.t. is coming here live from moscow it's good to have you with us today speculation over claims that u.s. special forces parachuted into north korea to spy on its secret military installations are just fueling tensions over the asian state washington denies the accusations but the journalist behind the leak insists the information he heard from a u.s. regional army commander is valid the pentagon says pyongyang is hiding as many as twenty air bases and vast artillery supplies ready for an iron fist response in the event of a foreign 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's strive for the build up of its military might in the region is constant quest to know exactly what it is up to and the more important time use announcement. concern is with a stiff. u.s. policy. it's not only is probably going to put pressure on north korea this is the fuse we need change in the whole. battle between washington. and the fate of being forecast for another so-called rogue state iran that's the topic of our exclusive interview that is coming your way in less than ten minutes from now it's when we speak to israel's deputy prime

minister about the ongoing fira engulfing tehran's nuclear program here's a preview. there are things that are done against the really nuclear capabilities by all players. from the worth of other countries probably is on the table from within the. going but not everything should be made public but i think that this is a theory is better it's a very serious matter and i think it should be taken care of very seriously and think lose all sorts of actions and i don't speak of war here. i will get to the r.t. world update shortly for now though a while official unemployment figures for you in the u.k. are decreasing at the statistics far from capture the whole picture britain's ailing economy and the government's eagerness to use austerity are taking their toll on the full time job market market this story belongs to artie's lorson.

another day another job search kathy is presentable clever and keen but she still can't get a full time job. you know like small businesses place and face rape or so on that fear can be more selective now. i've been going to jobs that anything despite applying for what ever she could find kathy's still working part time a university graduate in a two day a week data entry position she's not alone increasing numbers of people are scraping around for bits of part time work often working harder and longer for less money figures show the number of women on willingly forced into part time work is at its highest since records began and the number of men working part time because they can't find full time jobs has more than doubled just in the last four years

it's a toxic situation created and exacerbated by the u.k.'s ailing economy austerity cuts mean according to unions six hundred twenty five jobs are being lost in the public sector every day at the moment nearly six people are chasing every fulltime vacancy and that has while you do economic implications but taking a big hit. we clean comes out of francs their lifestyles and all also how much they can spend on goods and services which has a broader impact on the economy as well as sort of the latest job figures show u.k. unemployment as a whole has fallen but evidence suggests that only because more people are taking 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's making it worse by blaming

austerity there is as you know oscar. are two measures going on particularly in the developed world and this government since being elected is exploiting the opportunity because this government hates the government it's pro individualize ation and pro market and that's quite a 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 in moundsville there's all the time but i think. the reasons those only copy along with thousands of others will keep chasing every vacancy but in the meantime any job is better than no job at all laura smith forty london. and soon we will see katie with the business for now though let's start with america and the r.t.

world update but romney has clinched the republican nomination in the u.s. presidential race and will go want to challenge barack obama in november election he secured enough delegates after winning a primary in texas getting a projected seventy percent of the vote the former massachusetts governor was to be officially named as the nominee into the republican convention in august. rescue workers in northern italy searching for survivors among the dead after a deadly five point eight magnitude earthquake struck seventeen people were killed in the tremor the same region was hit by another quake earlier this month leaving seven dead and thousands homeless the north has been suffering from a series of aftershocks of a sense. the former liberian president charles taylor has been sentenced to fifteen years in jail after being convicted of war crimes in april he was charged with eleven counts for aiding rebels in sierra leone in exchange for blood diamonds the

armed gangs murdered and hacked off people's limbs while taylor himself has been accused of cannibalism in the past sixty four year old taylor is likely to serve his time in a british prisons context. straight over to the starting point so patiently the r.t. business there's going to even keeping an eye on the markets so poor facebook's mr zuckerberg here is a been kicked off a ritualised what's all that about yeah he has don't stop playing the violin just because he's still a mole thing a billionaire and he is just twenty eight years old my kid is me is about seven years older than me i k i'm just thoughts about that later but i want to get through the markets first of all and see how they brought to market forming their really feeling the pigs they're still firmly entrenched in the negative territory this hour now there was media report that china will now not spin don't think the same amount of gas in the economy that investors don't buy into. thousand and eight we've also got folding all prizes as well so those two news releases combined with

that as a result let's have a look at some blue chips on the my six and see how that for my gas from as recently have a change of fortunes in the us because the. same leahy's in siberia right now and he's saying that he's projections for the euro zone haven't changed he still anticipating. that we always go to this in the. epicenter impulse to tear it to gas from this i want to talk about. if i may because despite first quarter net profit rising by six percent they are easy to produce one point six percent a loss is not two thousand and eight but by just over a percent of its profits on the international markets now they want to change this but they want five percent in the next two years now they have made a start to this with the purchase of turkey is a lot just by any spike of the head of growth spoke to us about the deal have a listen. it's

a high quality but it won't come cheap with taking advantage of the moment currently banking assets are not too expensive it would have never sold this bank if not for the current turbulence. let's go over to europe and see how the markets are faring now the biggest news reason to do with spain people are talking about the fact that that country could be accessing the euro zone and not greece now you can see stocks are continuing to fall now spain is struggling to bolster its banking system not because boring costs are on the rise with those good bases well they're gearing up to sell the dead today as well so investors are firmly on the toes the footsie around one point three percent in the red with the last round one and as well if we get into cars as we see that investors are still flocking towards the u.s. dollar not to be over with yet says as you can see there we've got the euro zone a one twenty four forty eight races dip below that one twenty five region and as to the ruble it's not too well it's all today it's still losing i guess advance

gephardt is a good good also oil as well with the that china is playing into this band is playing into this we've also got the fact the u.s. stock piles are indeed rising and there's a report express has come up today that they climbed to the highest level since nine hundred ninety my goodness nice that's what you get in this crazy with all those new sentiments combine let's have a facebook and talk about this poor old mrs duffel bag now isn't to wait it's off to bloomberg to co-lead mom is up by the twenty nine richest person on the facebook founder has entirely full of that's completely for the top forty which men now he lost about five billion dollars since the facebook's controversial listing. everything is not quite so bad for the young twenty eight year old the web his current fortune is estimated at around fourteen in the hall although. serious money were always easy rich enough no i. didn't
