court of human rights to they could make an application to the high court preventing that extradition order but that's still pretty unlikely that that would be successful and the third option is that you're actually going to see julian assange his extradition now going ahead and he could be under extradition go ahead on a plane back to sweden within ten days so it's all going to happen pretty quickly here and hopefully over the next couple of hours we'll get a bit more clarity about what that legal team planned to do but of course if he does end up going back to sweden there he'll face questioning over these sexual assault allegations now of course it's important to remember that julian assange the wiki leaks founder has never actually being charged he's just facing questioning there in sweden this is always been something the legal team has been very eager to see point out and to clarify the kids indeed aver this eighteen month legal battle julian assange is undertaking with his team we've seen a real shift in the coverage surrounding the trial surrounding the man himself of
11:03 am
course very controversial stories coming out of wiki leaks we see governments around the world especially the u.s. government absolutely furious as some of the revelations wiki leaks was able to reveal and a lot of his supporters saying that this is amounting to nothing more than a smear campaign an ad campaign for style it's not just cute in a stance but also wiki leaks itself and so we're going to see as we said this very long legal battle that is already being three continuing now as we wait to see what that next question is that's going to be your sort of french for just the morning of use again the big story the. supreme court has rejected that request to reopen the case of we could leaks founder julian assange is trying to bring us up to date as we get more details will come but you later. egypt's political future is looking increasingly uncertain the supreme court ruled that the country's parliament must be dissolved just a few days before the second round of the presidential election the court found that a third of employees in the yourself. dominated by islamists were elected illegally
11:04 am
and another ruling was allowed the last prime minister of the ousted mubarak regime to stay in the presidential race despite thousands demanding a ban on the eve of the court session egypt's government restored the army powers to arrest civilian something that's usually only allowed in a state of emergency cairo based journalist a blogger while s.k. and told me to move may mean a return to the ways of the revolution regime the military would do everything in its power to get your feet to presidency and at that point they would take every measure to every oppressive measure to crackdown on dissent and things would be it would reproduce the mubarak regime once again this is an expansion of the military presence presence in egypt and. direct contradiction to the promise of the military to hand over power because at this moment they seem to want to grab on to power by extending the power of the police what has happened is that they've given the police a boost by adding in military officers and personnel that have the same role as the
11:05 am
police but this time without any kind of supervision because they only respond to a military prosecution and military judiciary and this gives gives the military impunity to act as they wish without questioning from the civilian parties and another development has come out the last few minutes state t.v. reporting that egypt's ruling military is now holding an emergency meeting tonight to discuss the course decision to dissolve the parliament this is a problem the expert in the region says egypt's moving away from democracy not towards it and the situation with the election illustrates just. so if you think that the elections were called transparent you have some questions to ask because approximately forty five to fifty percent of the you are still supporting you
11:06 am
already it's all days to come to this result is strange and then you see how the candidates were put you know almost being inside and then did the removed him and they kept your feet someone who is ready my sense of all this is that we are not dealing with a transparent process we are dealing with calculation and calculation means that i think that never from behind the scenes we lost control of the situation so this is made sense and it might be that even the muslim brotherhood way used to be the visible legitimacy to something which is happening from behind the scenes so they were the instruments of the coming back of the regime and indeed you can watch the entire interview in full next hour on this channel on r.t. and more on the turmoil that's gripping egypt still ahead too we speak to some of the country's women who say it's an islamist domination of their country that they fear the most we've got their story policy here

a middle east correspondent on top of. the syrian capital has been rocked by a powerful blast that left ten people wounded a suicide bomber set off a car bomb near one of the holiest shrines there which attracts tens of thousands of pilgrims from around the world it's believed the blast was targeting a security police department office located nearby the explosion came just days after the release of that video in which al qaeda second in command called on is amiss to quote help rebel groups fight syrian government forces syria's ambassador moscow told us the opposition is using increasingly violent tactics to pave the way things for foreign intervention. in syria is now under an organized terrorist attack some of the world's me. powers are behind those acts and they also fun terror the syrian government strives to stay committed to the non peace plan but we are constantly provoked by terror groups and we have to respond to those provocations just as the syrian government has absolutely no interest in murdering
11:08 am
defenseless people it's armed terrorist groups who are responsible for human rights violations and bloodbaths in syria that is being done to justify foreign intervention in the creation of buffer zones. the syrian ambassador also denied that moscow supplying the assad regime with attack helicopters allegations earlier also refuted by the russian foreign minister. look where those claims came from and the robust response that followed them. while the top u.n. official may have labeled the syrian conflict a full fledged civil war according to the u.s. secretary of state russia could actually be to blame for the escalating crisis secretary of state hillary clinton to raise some eyebrows and stirred some diplomatic controversy on tuesday when she insisted that russian attack helicopters were on their way to syria take a look we have confronted the russians about stopping their continued arms shipments to to syria and we are concerned about the latest information we have
11:09 am
that there are attack helicopters on the way from russia to syria now washington seem to be caught off guard by a secretary of state hillary clinton's remarks which stumped even the pentagon's own spokesman can you provide any details as to what kind of helicopters where they live or how are they being delivered. i have not seen reporting that indicates. that the russians are providing attack helicopters to the syrians i have just not seen that now while washington was left to sort out its confusion over the comments russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov was very clear in his denial of those allegations and we see it shows we are currently fulfilling preexisting and paid for contracts for one of these contracts are related to defense only and exclusively we do not export to syria or anywhere else for anything that could be used against the civil demonstration because you believe that's markedly different
11:10 am
to the united states which regularly ships such weapons to the region just recently one such ship in the right in a certain persian gulf state for some reason the u.s. considers this normal and we knew it was now russian attack helicopters are in hot demand right now and that's because the u.s. pentagon spends millions to buy russian made seventeen's on behalf of the afghan air force. slash spending. credit rating to near junk status in the latest blow to a struggling eurozone most after e.u. leaders agreed to provide the spanish banks for the bailout earlier as the country's unable to rescue the banking sector on its own well more of what that means for madrid still to come this seems to me is that the business desk with a preview. well basically on the stock market the reaction has been quite moderate so far but on the bond market we did see a jump to a new era of more than seven percent seven point zero one percent in yields for ten
11:11 am
year bonds and spain and any value above seven percent means a much higher risk of danger zone of a nation defaulting on its debt but it has since come down to around six point nine percent the yields and this is all because not only moody's downgraded the rating by three notches but is also put the rating on further review so that in the end in the future we could see further downgrades i'll tell you more about that around twenty minutes or. so is also more to come as well in the program later in the kaiser report max and stacey focusing on what they say is fraud dressed up as rescue measures spain bail out to be agreed within a week urgency reflects a growing consensus that spanish class might start chain reaction that could topple italy and destroy the euro well you know it's pretty much all the. more well known the other the greeks or the spanish or the irish they are the

instinct they're too polite to question the con artists because they're sort of talking they wear suits they have nice hands you know they come in there and they talk a good game and they want maybe we're wrong maybe we're the ones that need to really examine what our position and they're very polite and the con artist walk out the door with their money step get their pockets picked but too big to fail banks don't waste your time i get lonely as a dental. some more for mr cowen and co in about twenty minutes time here on our take a recession raging social problem solving the two go hand in hand so suddenly on an island clearly dublin growing drug addiction is among the many difficulties as our series laura smith reports makes the government struggling to keep the country's economy afloat is also struggling to foot the bill for people trying to get off those drugs. it's a tale of two cities a happy go lucky dublin where locals and tourists stop drink and make merry rubbing

a photo of the dice maybe and what you find out online. now it's a bad news story turned good throughout the course. it's the story of the scandal between russia's top investigator and a leading opposition paper and the last trio as it came to an amicable end with the two sides apologizing to each other now earlier the newspaper claimed that the official had taken one of the journalists is serious stuff this to a forest where the accusation is he threatened to kill him the investigator on his side denied those allegations calling them the ravings of a madman peter all of picks it all up. it seems like this could have been a potentially harmful scandal for the newspaper perhaps for the investigative
11:17 am
committee perhaps for both it seems now that it has been sorted out with a handshake between the editor of the opposition newspaper and. the chairman of the investigation committee now this all came about following an editorial that was posted by the editor of. which he claims one of his journalists was taken to woods in russia where threats were made against his life by the head of the investigative committee this all stems from an emotional and very opinionated article which the journalist wrote he was damning of the investigative agency in the work which they do now this resulted in a heated exchange between the chief of the investigative agency and the journalist in question well the chairman of the investigative committee in russia alexander has denied out of hand all of the allegations against him going as far as to describe them as the delirium of an inflamed brain in accusing the newspaper of publishing
11:18 am
a blatant and shameless article the newspaper was saying that they just wanted to protect their journalists well finally they met here in moscow the two people who could put an end to this seem to have done so with both sides apologizing to the other for whatever part they played in this story it's certainly as i say it times was unclear where we were going to end up with it but it seems to have reached an amicable end which i guess is happy news for everybody oh. concerned some top world news stories have brief british prime minister david cameron has been testifying in front of a u.k. media ethics inquiry saying press regulations need to improve cameras come under fire of self after the phone hacking scandal that rupert murdoch's now defunct news of the world tabloid british officials were accused of helping the media giant avoid investigation is also being criticised for the way he handled murdoch's paid the takeover of british sky broadcasting. trencher rain swan large areas of central china is triggered mudslides and forced hundreds of people from their homes one

dispute. it's if you like a signal to desire is that the focus was always argentineans call them last move in those wish to stay part of britain and don't wish to become a province of argentina if you look at the language which is coming from what is are is the argentine government is using very very strong language some people might say threads about secure. to go for the falkland islands the falklands have been claimed by britain france and even the dutch the i.g. to claim is a very simple one but argentina is concerned about structure. which under the watch of the. genius of the school with. its possible wife through to the full. british companies. prospecting for the wrong to

focus so we say find. that makes. strategically and economically very very important and. of course very very wealthy. back to egypt now it's the big story of the day ahead of the presidential run off the muslim brotherhood's warning that the military could effectively take control of the country even after the election but it's islamist domination the some fear most especially the country's women are his paula slayer picks up the story for you . she's young and ambitious and planning to become egypt's next president but she needs to wait ten years until she turned forty so she can run not for the sake of you know winnings a seat or so but for the sake of proving that egypt and women can deal with but they're not doing it at the moment this woman trying to run for president this time around and couldn't even get the fifty thousand signatures to qualify our way would you should it is for the equality states or the freedom for the dignity and when
11:22 am
this value those values when success we can see a woman president but with radical islam on the whys and the muslim brotherhood's candidate making it to the presidential runoff the fact that women played an important role in the demonstrations that brought down mubarak doesn't mean much the number of women in the egyptian parliament has fallen from twelve percent before the revolution to just two percent now and that's despite the fact that some fifty one percent of egypt is female noticeably absent from the presidential election campaign trails was the issue of women rights and women equality leaving many egyptian women to fear that in the post mubarak period their lives will get worse and faster other cream has been trying for five years to divorce her husband but divorce is tough to achieve and with an islamic influence it will only get tougher i don't want to go out of a deep i don't mind giving up on a financial right even the money left to me by my father who recently died my

11:24 am
here r.t. . twenty four minutes past seven o'clock here in moscow a whole raft of mitri of business news stories around today but let's focus in here where should you start to to a start off as looking there. it's looking positive you look at the stock markets because both indices are gaining right now but paradox is the economic data we've seen come outside of the united states has been pretty negative the jobs market is still weak we've still got rising jobless claims c.p.i. consumer prices are still declining that's also bad but investors think everything's so bad in the economy then there's going to be stimulus of this stimulus there's going to be more purchases in assets so they're buying up assets right now so that the season profit if the government intervenes over in the in european markets we're seeing a bit of a different picture the more depressed about the fact that moody's is downgraded by three notches rating to or near junk status we've seen the spanish bond yields
11:25 am
actually go up above seven percent the crucial danger zone threshold of seven percent but they're back down now again around six point nine percent but in greece's low looking quite positive the end x. there was up more than eight percent or one point driven by banks and that's all ahead of the elections on sunday crucial actions for years are. over on the oil markets we are seeing a bit of a rebound actually from eight month lows on the clothes that we've seen the previous session this is. as opec is meeting in vienna to make a decision on the production quotas earlier a credit suisse forecast of the price of bread would go down to fifty dollars per barrel by the end of the year and that's only if this coalition of the eurozone crisis takes the worst scenario now and then to view to the u.k. telegraph newspaper the banks and the said that the current global imbalances are worse than those we've seen in two thousand night just remind you then prices fell
11:26 am
from one hundred forty five dollars per barrel to around forty dollars per barrel relations capital says this is very unlikely. we have seen oil at fifty dollar level it's not the broadway out of the possibilities but i find it difficult imagining that anyone you know what and they exist in supply demand environment would be taking fifty dollars a barrel as their base case us. you know that's the spare capacity is still very limited it is it is at the end of the day is going to be at the devil but by what happens to the demand trends both in china and europe i mean if you're talking about fifty dollars oil to your talking about. a lot based economic collapse and i might not be an economist i'm you know i'm just i'm just a loyal analyst but they don't think we were close to that yet so good some figures now as you can see there is rebounding thirty one cents per brant is declining point one soon as we get some decision on production quotas this might of course change over here in rancho the markets closed on
11:27 am
a mildly negative note with the my six barely changed but the earth years of climbing around half a percent and that's off of several sessions of gains we've seen some pretty strong performances in the past couple weeks of course this is still rebounds from big losses we've seen the past couple of months actually. the main movers on the my six we're seeing the financials declining worse than the market b.c.b. down half a percent lukoil was better than the market up point three percent and gazprom who's preferred to do that so energy shares a pre-mixed. and that's all we have time for this i'll be back in. around fifty five minutes trying to bring up that.
