that's bull 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 on a plane back to sweden within ten days 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 is never actually being charged he's just facing questioning there in sweden it's always been something the legal team have 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 of wiki leaks we've seen 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 and i can paint a style it's not just cute in a stand but also wiki leaks itself we're going to see as we said this very long legal battle that is already being three continuing now as he waits the what that

next crucial steps going to be. first following the story there from london now dr batten a member of the european parliament for london says it's highly likely the joiner sarge will be sent to sweden after being caught up in a bureaucratic nightmare that even the u.k. parliament is against. 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 things it's 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 pyroclastic formality once the paperwork been fielding correctly the courts are obliged to extradite people now if i can just say something quickly about the appeal it was very are i was at the court when that when the judgment was rule was

read out and the appeal was based on what's a proper judicial or thorough t. now the british parliament and assume that meant i judge or a court requested extradition actually facts comes from the prosecutor and the judge really sorry the supreme court ruled that even though the british parliament thought and he its intention and 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 get centuries of english law which says you can't be a judge in your own case because you have been translated from a french fries which incorporated prosecutors then the intentions of our own parliament didn't matter and english law now depends upon the interpretation of a french fries for the benefit of the european union rather than what our own parliament attended i think that's absolutely scandalous. days ahead of egypt's presidential election runoff vote the country's supreme court has called for the dissolution of parliament judges ruled that the election of the legislative body

was unconstitutional a third of the m.p.'s in the assembly dominated by islamists are said to have been illegally elected the ruling paves the way for the military council to retake political control until new parliamentary elections are held in another ruling the court overturns a law that banned the last prime minister of the mubarak regime and one of the main contenders for president from running for office a day earlier egypt's government restored the army's power to arrest civilians a fixture of a permanent state of emergency that existed for thirty years of president mubarak's rule cairo based activists. says the situation in the country has grown very tense and the muslim brotherhood could be looking to change their political strategy. as a muslim brotherhood on the islamic forces. looking into the situation from a very worrying the positions of the thinkers what's have been happening to day after the solving is our parliament which is

a haves overwhelming majority inside it may be behaving as a way for getting a listen in and upcoming election which will be a few a few months later. and if the think is that if she comes to power this is likely actually an egyptian situation now maybe he will crack down on them or is a freezer seem very restrictive atmosphere is a experience during mubarak regime elements or was all the regime regrouping themselves and then you political party as we hear of late now and they will compete in the upcoming elections a political map will change a definitely. misters will decide not to waste as of today more than resisting. to prepare themselves for the parliamentary election. more on the turmoil that is gripping egypt is coming up in just a bit we speak to some of the country's women who say their greatest fear is these

were most of domination their country. and as ireland to suffer the fate of many debt ridden euro zone countries we look at the spike in drug addiction and a disappearing population all that just ahead for you right here on our tweet. the syrian capital has been rocked by a powerful blast that has left fourteen people wounded in a suicide bomber set off a car bomb near one of the holiest she shrines which attracts tens of thousands of pilgrims from around the world it is believed the blast was targeting a security police department office located nearby the explosion came just days after the release of a video in which al qaeda is second in command called on islamists to help rebel groups fight syrian government forces david gibbs a history professor at the university of arizona says the west keeps trying to see the middle east in too simplistic of terms. regime going back and it's something of a police state with a lot of record and

a ruthless record. on the other hand there's also the issue the united states and western europe essentially decided to back the rebels i think for reasons that have a lot more to do with real politique. more already specifically syria is lined with iran and iran is seen as the great. i don't know threat to us here in tripoli is really in for us in the area as an ally of iran syria seen negatively so i think that's the main reason. people like a simplified conflict they don't want to complicate. neither side looks like good. or they don't want to be complications and so this is being presented as is typically the case in these types of conflicts the good versus evil conflict with all the blame on one side even if the reality is more complicated. agency moody's has slashed spain's credit rating to near junk status in the latest blow to

a struggling euro zone it comes after the leaders agreed to provide spanish banks with a bailout as the country is unable to rescue the banking sector on its own author of the book the tragedy of the euro professor philip bagus believes that the key to solving spain's financial woes is to rein in public expenditure and invest in the people who are most probably. need and once they're all out later the spanish government committed in this financial bailout to two arrows first it basically admitted that it cannot grow one hundred billion on the private market that it needed. the other european countries and second they also said they would do won't do any other reforms anymore and this is not enough to have stable finances so they will probably need another bailout what we need this of the of the public sector and growth of the private sector and one leads to the other if the

public sector. starts to lose some resources and leaves room for the private sector there can be growth in the private sector so we need tax cuts and cuts in government spending and structural reforms. in spain of course in the labor market mostly it's very open how this all will end but i fear that in in the end these. two political pressure and start running the printing press but. a recession raging and a social problems are soaring the two go hand in hand and in ireland growing drug addiction is among the many difficulties as artie's laura smith explains a government is struggling to keep the country's economy afloat is also struggling to foot the bill for getting people off drugs. it's a tale of two cities a happy go lucky dublin where locals and tourists shop drink and make mary rubbing shoulders with a seedy underbelly telamon blocks where the poor struggle to make ends meet and

if you like signal. that the focus is always argentineans call them in this part of britain and don't wish to become the province of argentina if you look at the language was coming from what is already is the argentina government is using very very strong language and some people might say threats about security of the falkland islands the falklands. or claimed by britain france and even the dutch and the argentina claim is a very simple one but argentina is concerned about structure. under the water of the ideas of the sphere with the. possible. through to the. british companies. prospecting for. so we see find. that makes.

values when success 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 to 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 fast 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 brutal cream is hoping the courts rule in her favor even if it means she'll be out on the street with nothing but she wants the judge to decide soon before hardcore islamised get into power and human rights activists like dr side i bring him are worried the future over the recent. poor all over. the full equality of women. undermine the poor. and the is the evidence. in the road to progress to full development and so why dolly 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 that the revolution that was supposed to liberate its people might just land up in slaving at least a part of a policy r.t.

kind. of a back of the headlines a short way but before that we continue our look at egypt as r.t. talks to renowned middle east academic to rick ramadan about the state of the egyptian revolution. thank. you.

thank. you terry graham i don't you're a professor at contemporary islam except this oxford university and also you are a professor at the faculty of the stomach studies in qatar it's great to have you with us today sir so i have a situation in north africa and the middle east it's very complex and there are a lot of players involved in it. but there's one trend that saying. at the undisputed and its rising and its rise of islamist movement throughout the region could anyone have really predicted that kind of an outcome even the pro-democracy protesters or the rebels do they know that this would happen i think that we if we want to talk about the whole situation and the results that we see in the first once again i am not using the arab spring as a concept even revolutions arresting that we are still seeing unfinished

processes in the country now the people who are in the streets in tunisia egypt they were young people young and not so young people and the only objective was to get treated the dictator and the regime so they want to treat them dignity and justice and less corruption they were not expecting anything and it was beyond any ideological trend what happened as a second step is the presence of people who were in the opposition and had historical credibility no one can deny the fact that in tunisia in egypt mr president they had the popularity and they were tortured repressed so the first reaction was coming back to make reference and supporting the people who had this historical credibility does it mean that he's going to stay the same does it mean that we are going through steps to be seen but what we have seen now when and what

we are now witnessing in egypt is still very complex is not yet done i'm not sure even at the time i'm talking to you that the muslim brotherhood are going to win the election i might always almost sure that it's going to be the opposite and all this process is the coming back of the old regime was a very strong egypt i would like to speak a little bit in detail about egypt right now. the constitution is still not drafted it's going to be drafted problem much later so the president is going to be elected and he's know he's going to know about his powers only after he's elected and the constitution will also of course depend. on who is elected the president can even talk about democracy with this given fact you know we call it and i think that you know a very tough was does and in studying what is happening if inductively you cause

was the last election i'm sure to tell you the truth that the last election was we transparent and i have a problem with the way it was done just even before who can be in and who is the way these candidates was chosen by whom and then you come to the committee that has to work on the constitution and this was stopped so you elect someone as a president with executive power without having a clear framework religiously chief power and do we destroy the structure they really weird and i think that this is where we are now and we were told just we are going to solve the problem with the presidential election that's not going to happen then look at what is happening now so we have even people saying we have to stop the whole the process because even the fact that we have someone who is representing the regime. how come. here they were saying that we need to put in the constitution that the people who are from the old regime cannot

present themselves for the next ten years but you can't come with this because it's not in the constitution and constitution is going to be written after the election it's a mess there is no transparency and how can you speak about democracy procedures if there is no transparency in the way it's put so in egypt i'm very worried about what is going to happen talking about chafee a former egyptian prime minister under mubarak he still has a lot of support i mean a lot of the. shocked that he actually got to the runoff does that mean that there's still a lot of people in egypt who are actually favorable supporting the old regime so if you think that the elections were completely transparent you have some questions to because not only he got twenty per cent but if you look at all the other. he also got almost twenty percent so it means that approximately forty five to fifty

percent of. all due to come to this result is strange and then you see how the candidates were put you know almost being inside and then the did the removed him and they kept someone who is ready and 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 being that never from behind the scene the army lost control of the situation so this is in a 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 thank you very much listen to you thanks.

if you're followed up online. sort of a throwback and part of. it goes back to a time when people would lie down in their forces in the wild west and pick up these future dates and putting them into the sheriff for prosecution i don't think much company may well feel guilty. when they go out there.

and you have to hope that nothing bad can. put. forward facing killers and you gotta keep that in mind how does a two million dollar deal police arrest. but not super hero they can be killed too you know in the head i'm going to die. once you hit and run you know never go back to hide anything else. comfort is the least you have. money is the last you need if you travel this way. language is common i'll get you. the. emotions are intense. and experience priceless.
