7:00 am
an r.s.s. feed with the palm of your. question on the dot com. the requests for mr sanchez extradition has been made and his appeal against extradition is accordingly dismissed wiki leaks founder julian assange a step closer to being extradited to sweden on sex crime charges and lawyers say he can still fight the decision and avoid being handed over ultimately to the u.s. . guilt by default confusion and conflicting reports over the houla massacre proved no barrier to further demonizing assad with france now threatening military intervention in syria. allegations that saudi arabia is going well beyond the call of duty in its support for syrian militants with suicide bombers
7:01 am
apparently being shouldn't go off to join the rebels. and speculation over reports washington parachuted into north korea incites a fresh wave of tension and distrust on the peninsula. is a pleasure to have you with us today here on r.t. . life in moscow the supreme court has dismissed wiki leaks founder julian assange has appealed against extradition to sweden he's wanted for questioning of alleged sex crimes sara furthur was outside the courthouse in london. julian assange was in in court today when the judgment was pos rejecting his appeal against the extradition to sweden and now it's not over yet he's now got
7:02 am
a fourteen day extradition for a while still legal to gain 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 the son john of the day being sent sweden to face questioning if they sexual assault charges it's very likely that you are going to see his legal team taking this fight even further to the european court of human rights every day among his supporters to 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 path and 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 and the doors argued that a judicial authority meant a proper jarred or a court of law because it's
7:03 am
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 the court 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 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. influence in this case has sort of in a sense over ridden the british justice system well i have to tell you the british
7:04 am
justice system has been overridden by the e.u. now for some time they're creating their own system of criminal law or 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 saunders five found out this is not about the evidence against him about whether it's stacks up or not it's about the meaning of a word in french thank you very much for joining us and you heard the evidence against you in the songs has been widely misconstrued and misreported as well a lot of facts of the case haven't been presented that clearly said a real sense here today that certainly justice hasn't been served when it comes to julian assange. ok sara for putting it there and just a bit earlier as she prepared this report looking back at the case against a son. t.v.
7:05 am
and a son just how that is a modern day cheats the way he likes working weeks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks that the many at 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 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 the record beaks release the launch 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 the general witch hunt against julian and we
7:06 am
could be 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 picked 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 no questions asked these judges very little discretion to refuse the warrant the
7:07 am
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 that we will be our own sound and it's also important that really we need to society where we 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 three to then give him fast track
7:08 am
states where he could face really serious charges effectively over enemy by the release of the ribbon cables. i think this will sound a chilling effect to all who turn to a whistleblower was that if they did. the secrecy and. many cases. the united states they will face retribution that is why his many supporters have to make sure that neither it nor we keep the time they're. doing. that while julian assange has been standing his ground against the extradition from the u.k. his series of interview programs continue here on r.t. just a bit later this hour he's joined by the leaders of the global occupy movement to discuss the cornerstone of democracy and that of the freedom of speech is a preview. so let's talk to me about the rules and talk about
7:09 am
what was one of the the. bridge seems to be. absolutely i mean i think that you know at the base of any kind of but 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 mag you know a tie 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.
7:10 am
and if you missed any of us are just programs you can find them at a special section of our website that's a songe dot. com where you are watching all of the law from what's going to still to come in the program just a few minutes away no doubt so if u.k. citizens trace every available job vacancy it is the country's economic troubles leave. the labor sector in tatters. ten past 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 township of houla but some nations aren't waiting for conclusive proof before declaring president assad guilty opinion based largely on a number of un verified accounts the situation is further confused by a plethora of witness reports blaming rebel islamist the gangs for the slaughter with this report artie's marina portnoy. the united nations secretary general and the u.n.
7:11 am
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.
7:12 am
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 alon 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. will contribute to the tokyo times news website and someone who's been following the syrian crisis says there's an obvious media bias glossing over atrocities committed by rebels. 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. where we know all the islam is killed through entire families who received period. this also you said in the will service
7:13 am
here i am witnessing that the. terrorists have no military this is completely ridiculous is clearly that an agenda is happening against syria and that saudi arabia turkey and other nations are allowed on being allowed to supply terrorist mils your arms 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. outside support for the myriad of syria's armed groups it's no secret saudi arabia and qatar alone funnel millions of dollars to the rebels every month but as artie's guy nature can reports 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
7:14 am
a suicide bomber into syria and raising money as compensation i think the product of my knowing how sacred sacrifice his brother is already a martyr yes that is what we're going to send him to then. 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. do you really 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.
7:15 am
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 ether 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 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
7:16 am
brights and palestine and things like this and this is not doesn't sit well with. 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 holly was allegedly sold for the equivalent of four hundred thousand dollars maybe only a million and a half a million and a half we have a winner right here. we don't know the fate of khalid maybe he is now on his way to
7:17 am
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 passively supporting extremism like this as well i'm going to check our reporting from washington. and always are so much more studied by it for you at our website r t dot com for example and i usual place and piece of elvis memorabilia as the crypt his body was laid to rest in before being moved to graceland that goes under the hammer. plus a russian computer security giants describe it as the worst cyber attack in history after a virus sweeps through the middle east stealing sensitive data. speculation of a claims that u.s. special forces parachuted into north korea to spy on its secret military
7:18 am
installations are fueling tensions over the state washington denies the accusations but the journalist behind the leak insists the information he heard from a u.s. or regional army commander is valid the pentagon says john yang is hiding as many as twenty 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 some will only escalate tensions on the peninsula gregory clark a former australian diplomat based in tokyo believes the incident coincides with washington's strife for the build up of its military might in the region this is constant quest to know exactly what it is up to and the timing of this announcement. as to. u.s. policy. is probably to put pressure on
7:19 am
this is diffuse when the change in the. battle between washington. in just a few minutes as the r.t. world updates but for now fade to being forecast for another so-called rogue state iran that's the topic of our exclusive interview coming up next hour it's a where we speak to israel's deputy prime minister about the ongoing feud engulfing tehran's nuclear program is 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. ping for going but not everything should be made public but i think that this is the theory is better it's a very serious matter and i think it should be picking kara very seriously and they think lose all sorts of actions and i don't speak of war here.
7:20 am
live from moscow this is our t.v. while official unemployment figures for the u.k. are decreasing the statistics are 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 with this story artie's laura smith. another day another job search kathy is presentable clever and keen but she still can't get a full time job. you know like some businesses place and face chronic rape or so on that fear can be more selective now because 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

7:22 am
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. or too much is going on particularly in the developed world and this government since being elected is exploiting that opportunity because this government hates the couple. it's pro individualize ation and pro markets and that's why to this place to be and nothing 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 in confidence or sink
