julian assange has extradition now going ahead and he could be under extradition go ahead on a plane back to sweden within ten days 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 has never actually been charged he's just facing questioning there in sweden it's always been something the legal team has been very eager to point out and to clarify we've seen a real shift in the coverage surrounding the trial surrounding the man himself of course very controversial stories coming out as a wiki leaks we've seen governments around the world especially the u.s. government absolutely furious as some of the revelations week he leaks was able to reveal and a lot of his supporters saying that this is a mounting to nothing more than a smear campaign an ad campaign to silence not just putin a staunch but also we can leaks itself 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 crucial steps going to be. for reaction now obviously case from jurors a member of the european parliament. joining us live from london we're hearing that julian assange is preparing to appeal the european court of he to the european court of human rights i should say against this extradition how likely do you think brit is going to be successful. well and he's i think it's very unlikely i mean he's gone through this long appeal process in the u.k. he's lost his final appeal today as we've my understanding is he can put an appeal into the european court of justice but that is you have to accept the paperwork and i think that's extremely likely they're going to do that because this whole european arrest warrant thing is driven by the european union and you know the closer integration of all the e.u. states so i think it's unlikely that they're going to tighten it and would assume that he's going to be extradited to sweden sometime between the twenty eighth of

june the eighth of july that's interesting because the european court of human rights has banned britain from actually dating a terrorist suspect abu qatada to jordan now is it possible that as far as can be considered more dangerous than a terrorist suspect. yes some of the way that our legal system works now because saddam is a foreign national he's actually a citizen of jordan it's about jordan you've got to remember this is about extradition or was it's now properly called judicial surrender within the european union itself and the whole thing about the european union is the creation of a political state and i do not think that the european court is going to rule you know in favor of trying to put up barriers within the european union it's not really an independent core it's one of the engines of closer integration so well i mean i hope for his sake that it actually works and he's actually able to question these extradition on with the court but i somehow doubt that they will actually entertain it remains to be same but we will find out very quickly you know within the next fourteen days the order has to be implemented and then as i say the latest

date is the eighth of july what about one thing in sweden you're saying that you think you will be there fairly soon i hear of course insists that these accusations against him are politically motivated what will happen to him when he gets to meet and a lot of people think he'll go to the u.s. . that's that's what some people do think you know that this is really just a means of getting him to sweden where he can be more easily sent off to the united states the problem with this whole system is you know he's not going to get a trial by jury in sweden they don't have that like we have in the u.k. and if i can just go back to the arrest warrant thing is very very important and mr assad is really just the most high profile case of many many of these cases now and the british courts have no power to actually look at the evidence against somebody and decide whether there's a proper case to answer they are obligated it's really just a bureaucratic formality once the paperwork been fielding correctly the courts are

obliged to actual people now if i can just say something quickly about the appeal it was very that i was at the court when that when the judgment was rule was read out and the appeal was based on what's the proper judicial or thorough now the british parliament assumed that meant i a judge or a court of requested extradition actually comes from the prosecutor and the judge sorry the supreme court ruled that even though the british parliament thought and he intentionally been under the legislation that this extradition could only be requested by a judge or a court it could be done by a prosecutor which is actually a good centuries of english law which says you can't be a judge in your own case but because he had been translated from a french fries which incorporated prosecutors then the intentions of our own parliament didn't matter and english law in our depends upon the interpretation of a french fries for the benefit of the european union rather than what our own parliament the tendon i think that's absolutely scandalous when he gets there of

course he's going to be charged by a magistrate and i believe two members of the court and it won't be a jury as we would expect and. you know i don't as a politician i'm opposed to the european arrest on principle and the whole european legal system that's being created which supersedes our own legal. mr barks a lot of people think that this is politically motivated and in fact there is a learned legal opinion in this country which says that the crimes that he is a q stop in sweden wouldn't constitute. actual a faints on the ringless law and you wouldn't get very far with it but of course our courts can consider that so you know it's a formality as i say and tradition is granted but mr saunders case is the tip of a very big iceberg of cases like this and i don't want to protect genuine criminals from justice but our own citizens cannot be carted off to any part of the european

union just on the basis of a piece of paper being filled up correctly. which mr assad is crisis actually actually got more published a t. about the boyfriend of many people rather mr baggs i want to make sure i touch of that if you could in a couple of words express what you think will happen to his large if he gets to the us. if you get to the us well i mean they haven't even managed to come up with a how many long long ago had to consider this a year or two now they haven't actually come up with a charge against him i mean you've got americans on t.v. talking saying that he should be killed or executed. in their life all eyes are wide attack of terrorists. well i mean what he's accused of is leaking their secrets which may or may not be an offense depending how he got hold of them and what he did with them and that's why there's no charge against him but we've seen what happens with our own citizens when there is extradited to the u.s. . you know what might be fairly minor charges that they're incarcerated in the hellhole prisons you know probably solitary confinement if they're lucky and

they're kept there for months i mean you know it will be horrendous experience for him because we've seen already what's happened to bradley manning who does face criminal charges in the fairly in human conditions that he's been kept on the. you know if i hope very much he doesn't get extradited to the u.s. sorry but i think you have a very rough time if you did. your member of the european parliament for london thank you very much for your input thank you. egypt's future is looking increasingly uncertain the supreme court has ruled that the parliament must be dissolved meaning the interim military rulers again assume all political control but the court found that a third of m.p.'s in the assembly dominated by islamists were elected even legally just a few days before the presidential runoff another ruling has allowed the last prime minister of the ousted mubarak regime thursday in the presidential race despite thousands demanding abound on the eve of the court session egypt's government

restored the army's power to a breathless bill years that something usually only allowed in a state of emergency cairo based journalist and blogger while afghan believes the move may mean a return to the ways of pre-revolution regime the military would do everything in its power to get your feet to presidency and the 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. 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 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 the latest developments in egypt threatened to further escalate tensions between the country's interim illiterate rulers and the muslim brotherhood which was at the forefront of popular protests meanwhile a prominent expert on the region says egypt's moving away from democracy not towards it and the situation with the election illustrates that trap. if you think that the elections were completely transparent you have some questions to ask because approximately forty five to fifty percent of us are still supporting the regime so all do is to come to this result is strange and then you see how the candidates were put you know omar suleiman being inside and then. removed him and

he kept your feet as 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 the army lost control of the situation so this is made sense and it might be that even the muslim brotherhood way used to be visible legitimacy to something which is happening from behind the scenes so they were the instruments of the coming back of the regime. you can watch that interview in full later today here on r.t. more on the turmoil that's group egypt is still ahead for you though this hour we speak to some of the country's women who say it's islamists dominate the islamist domination of their country that they know. the syrian capital has been rocked by a powerful blast that's left ten people wounded a suicide bomber set off

a car bomb near one of the holy a shia shrines which attracts tens of thousands of pilgrims from around the world it's believed the blast was targeting a security of police department office located nearby the explosion came just days after the release of a video in which al qaeda second in command called on islamists to help rebel groups fight syrian government forces not the country's ambassador to russia says the opposition is using increasingly violent tactics to pave the way for foreign interference. syria is now under an organized terrorist attack some of the world's mean 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 defenseless people use its armed terrorist groups who are responsible for human rights violations and bloodbath some syria that is being done to justify for me to venture in the creation of buffer

zones. but the syrian ambassador has also denied that moscow supplying the ousted regime with attack helicopters allegations earlier also refuted by the russian foreign minister lucy caffein of looks at where the claims came from and the robust response that followed. while the top 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. 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 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 that 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 that yes we are currently fulfilling your preexisting looks and paying for contract one of these contracts are related to defense only and exclusively we do not export to syria or anywhere else or anything that could be used against peaceful demonstrators because that's markedly different to the united states which regularly ships such weapons to the region just recently one such

shipment arrived in a certain persian gulf state but for some reason the u.s. considers this normal. now russian attack helicopters are in hot demand right now that's because the u.s. pentagon spends millions to buy russian made seventeen s on behalf of the afghan air force. moody's has slashed spain's credit rating to near junk status that's the latest blow to the struggling euro zone and after even leaders agreed to provide spanish craigs with a gal out as the country is unable to rescue the banking sector are thrown well what this means for madrid still to come this hour or two's dmitry medvedev go it's already at the business desk. obviously 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 a euro era high of more than seven percent seven point zero one percent in the yields for ten year bonds in 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. all right to me there will have more for us in a little while and more analysis from the business desk like i said coming up in just a few minutes and then later add in one thousand nine hundred thirty g.m.t. max keiser and stacy herbert weigh in on the e.u. mess with what bay say is fraud dressed up as rescue measures. seen bailout terms 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 a con game and some con games are more well known than 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 some of the talking they wear suits they have nice hats you know they come in there and they talk a good game and they thought well 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 up get their pockets picked but too big to fail banks don't waste your time a good line is dead a look. at the ongoing dispute over the falkland islands between britain and argentina will be discussed by a un committee later today in new york it's thirty years to the day since the war over the british territory ended around one hundred people die in the one nine hundred eighty two conflict before argentinean troops are rendered argentina says the british illegally occupied the falklands which are called amal when malvina has

almost two hundred years ago islanders will hold a referendum next year to decide their future political analyst martin mccauley says it's what lies off the island's coast that's moving the dispute. if you like. to what is art is that the four goons or is argentinians call them lost most of those wish to stay part of britain. do wish to become the province of argentina if you look at the language was coming from what is always the argentina government is using very very strong language and some people might say threats about the security of the falkland islands the falklands do or claimed by britain france and even the dutch. do claim. pretty soon one but argentina is concerned about the structure of. the order. which lie under the water there the idea to use of the school wouldn't. you know juke you know it is possible to go

the extra wide streets the fortunes. of british companies. prospecting for that goes wrong to focus so we see fighting and. then that makes it. strategically economically very very important and. of course very very wealthy. i look now around the world at some other stories making headlines british prime minister david cameron has been testifying in front of the u.k. media ethics inquiring saying press regulations need to improve cameron has come under fire following the phone hacking scandal that rupert murdoch's now defunct news of the world tabloid british officials were accused of helping the media giant to avoid investigation cameron has also been criticised for the way he handled murdoch's bid to take over british sky broadcasting. torrential rains have small clarges areas of central china triggering mudslides and forcing hundreds from

their homes officials have set up shelters to house those displaced by five flooding bilis was also working at work i should say to save one man trapped amid the raging waters he was successfully pulled ashore after an hour of rescue efforts emergency repairs are underway with several highways being destroyed by landslides and. back to egypt now ahead of the presidential runoff the muslim brotherhood is warning that the military could have practically take control of the country even after the election but it's islamist domination but some fear most especially the country's women as artie's policy are discovered. 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 physical provings that egyptian women can do 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 it would usually is for the equality states or the freedom for their dignity and when this value those values when it's access we can see a woman president but with radical islam on the rise 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 to proceed 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. 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 all my financial rights even the money left to me by my father who recently died my husband doesn't give me any money and he treats me very badly. after a bit cream is hoping the courts rule in her favor even if that means she'll be out on the street with nothing but she wants the judge to decide soon before hard core islamists get into power and human rights activists like dr side i bring him are worried the future over in the country's. poor all over. the full equality of women. living in the. and there my two. and this is the one that is. in the road to progress to ford and so why don't we and might be inspiring her generation

and she's received awards from around the globe for her fearlessness in tweeting and blogging about the revolution more people are asking if it's possible because evolution it was supposed to liberate its people might just land i've been slaving at least a part of it police t r t. let's check in now at the business that's read to me the bad news on the u.s. job market stock market gaining explain that well it doesn't really make sense a first glance but on the other hand the fact that investors are seeing the jobs market continuing basically to weaken to store at the same time consumer price index is also retreating they are hoping that the federal reserve will be stimulating the economy more and therefore on these hopes that there jones is up one percent the nasdaq of a percent so it does make sense yet over in europe is the closing picture for london for frankfurt a bit more gloomy here that's on the back of course the situation in spain where

not only are the rating has been cut by three not just by moody's but also we've seen spade spanish bond yields go up to a record of more than seven percent of the sender at the close to or below the these kind of levels around six point nine but overall just the feeling is it's pretty gloomy except for in greece which is hopeful before the elections we've seen the main index in athens go up more than eight percent today. on the commodities market a crucial opec meeting took place in vienna today production quotas to remain the same thirty million barrels a day so basically that was not unexpected at the same time credit suisse has forecast that the price of brant crude could fall to fifty dollars a barrel. by the end of the year but that's only if the escalation of the eurozone crisis takes the worst scenario just reminded two thousand and eight we've seen a steep fall from one hundred forty five brant to below forty and credit suisse now

says basically what's happening right now is even worse than the financial crisis of two thousand and eight but relations capital says this is very much. we have seen oil at fifty dollar level it's not the what they all of the possibilities but they find it difficult imagining that anyone you know was an existing supply demand environment would be taking fifty dollars a barrel as their base case. you know this despair capacity is still got a limit that it is it is at the end of the day is going to be that of them but by what happens to the demand trends both in china. i mean if you're talking about fifty dollars oil to your talking about cool cold but a lot based economic collapse and i might not be in the crowd in this town you know i'm just i'm just a loyal analyst but they don't think we're anywhere close to that yet all the prices we're seeing right now they have rebounded right to the to keep production quotas where the least they were not increased to ease the pressure on oil prices

so is seeing light sweet rebound one dollar eleven cents us off eight month lows the clothes that we saw in the previous session on the russian market we've seen twelve moderately negative session very mild to my six is barely. ts is declining half of the said that's after a few good just sessions of growth so you could say a technical correction among the main movers on the my six financial sector stocks were pressuring now with the t.v. down no more than half a percent lukoil among energy shares was doing better than the rest of this operation. and in currencies the euro continues gaining against the dollar because of that bad macroeconomic the united states specially. more job losses claims in the labor market while the ruble pretty much lost the gains that it saw on wednesday pretty much the same the same values of twenty seven and forty copecks respectively against the euro. that's all we have time for this i'll be back in two
