find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to cause a report on our. breaking news this hour here on the british police say julian assange charles broken bail conditions and is therefore liable to arrest after with the world's top whistle blower sort of political asylum ecuador's embassy in london to stop his extradition to sweden. egypt's convicted former leader hosni mubarak is reported to be clinically dead after a stroke the country is in limbo at the moment after the presidential runoff vote as protests rage over the military's relentless hold on power. and the mainstream media goes all out against those opposing intervention in syria with hyped up reports warning of imminent war games to be held in the country involving thousands of warships jets and tanks.

it's good to have you with us here on ars he today i'm wrong receive should live in moscow straight to our breaking news for you this hour scotland yard says the world's top whistleblower is a liable to arrest for breaching bail conditions the warning comes after julian assange is took refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in london seeking political asylum in the latin american state to avoid extradition to sweden shortly here on r.t. will be crossing live to our correspondent sara firstly standing by in london but for now let's get some more now on assad as a last ditch attempt to avoid extradition to sweden let's cross live to australian born a political campaigner peter tatchell joining us live from london thank you for coming on r t today as you just heard a song is now facing arrest this offer he breached his bail conditions but is he

still safe for now while he's still behind the walls of the ecuadorian embassy. i think temporarily but of course it will all fall down to the surgeon the ecuadorian government and. i think the bigger picture is that. his own government the government has failed to give him the support should he is an australian citizen he's entitled to the protection and support of the australian government but throughout this whole episode straining government has singularly failed to give him the support that a person's position would expect. the other big issue of course is although he does face serious charges in sweden which of course must be investigated the question is yet again if the swedish prosecutors are so concerned about this case why haven't they come to london to interview him julian has made himself available for over

a year this is going to meet with the prosecutors and if they are really concerned about this case they surely should have come to london that would have cut out a lot of this red tape of this legal battle has been going on it may of course avoided what was originally taken to seek refuge in the ecuadorian embassy that the whole thing is a mess and i think that the swedish authorities have not behaved in a way that indicates that they are serious about this case if they were serious they would have come to london to interview him and julian was willing to be interviewed but as you say as you say the swedish prosecutors have not really fulfilled perhaps their legal obligations by coming to speak to a songe as you said he's been on house arrest now for for approximately five hundred days or more australia not giving it support to him either and here we are possibly poised to flee to ecuador do you think ecuador's the it is the only chance for a son is to avoid extradition to sweden at this point. probably yes i mean if ecuador

refused him. then he'd be back in the hands of scotland yard and they've indicated that they would arrest him i think also the other issue that is really important to bear in mind is that the swedish legal system has a number of floors that do not sit well with the british legal system if he is extradited to sweden a journalist will face a secret trial it will be held in private there'll be no reporting allowed and this goes against the principles of open justice which are accepted by most countries around the world the other big problem is that it's been indicated that if he is expected to sweden he will not be given by oh he'll be held on pneumonia in one of sweden one of europe's most notorious prisons the prison is like to be held in stockholm the room on prison has been condemned by the prison chaplain it's been condemned by many other human rights groups the being

a very bad prison. he won't have easy access to his legal team you have very restricted access in fact only one phone call. i think there's only one or more only a handful of phones in the whole prison for all the prisoners as you say as you say i do apologize for interrupting here but as you say if indeed he is to sweden here he could ultimately be holed up in as you say a notorious prison that he's been on house arrest now for approximately five hundred days in the u.k. here he is julian assange now holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london if he's able to leave the embassy and get out how does he get out is it a case of ecuador dispatching some blacked out windows of a diplomatic car to shuttle him to a charter jet on a private runway at heathrow how does he get out. you'd have to ask our legal experts about that on the shore to be honest but i think it would be very very difficult i think one where he's inside the embassy which is of course ecuadorian

territory he is safe but once he leaves the embassy by whatever means he would be liable my understanding is he'll be liable to arrest but i finally just just got time for one more question here i do ask your forgiveness we are running low on time here and i think at the end of the day though he's been on house arrest for ages now he's been facing extradition as you said the swedish prosecutors have not fulfilled their legal obligations of going to question him why is it that the world's number one whistleblower has not been charged yet so this is the extraordinary thing you would think that if there is substantive evidence the prosecutors would have by now late charges and i think it does call into question the openness transparency and. of the swedish legal system but the prosecutors have not come to london to interview him they could have done and they're not prosecuted with charges evidence does make the whole case looks like

a vendetta it looks like a deliberate attempt to get him out finally say is that of course when if he did go to sweden if he was extradited to stand trial certainly the issue here would be for one professional job and to lay judges who are usually political appointees and almost certainly one of those judges would be. representing or would be appointed by the ruling conservative party we must not forget that the conservative prime minister and foreign minister have indicated or intimated rather that during the sound is guilty and this really does undermine the possibility of him getting a fair trial. in political campaign peter tatchell joining us live for this breaking news here on our team many thanks indeed. however now here in r.t. we cannot cross over live to london our correspondent surfers are standing by for us now and give us the latest on this sort of breaking news situation here on our

two sara thanks for coming on the announcement by police in london but a sarge faces of arrest how important is that. well if that's the latest development is he said of course is a big question when he handed himself gave it to the ecuadorian embassy last night seeking asylum over what exactly that did mean for the bell conditions and we know that the metropolitan police has said that these actions have breached some of the bell conditions of course the julian assange should two hundred thousand pounds now there's been a lot of rhetoric already about that needs that he made a lot of people talking about in terms of fleeing or escaping i mean it has to be pointed out that it's a perfectly legitimate legal action that he's exercising of course his legal team running out of options really we saw at the end of last month the case supreme court rejecting his appeal extradition to sweden once again we have to point out that he's never actually been charged he's just wanted in sweden at the moment for questioning

a vis the actual assault allegations but of course the real concern was not only the very strict pretrial detention rules in sweden but also the if he were extradited there and that was going to happen fairly soon that he then it would be much easier for him to be extradited to the u.s. now is always a major concern for the julian assange and his legal team parser as we know julian assault now behind the walls of the ecuadorian embassy in the heart of london one of the chances or the end of the day that he will truly be protected by a door. well at the moment the ecuadorian embassy has said that they're evaluating that request so we have to wait and see exactly what their decision will be it's hard to say at this moment now we know that chilean a stanch had on his show for r.t. in-city the president of ecuador they seem to hit it off in that interview the president saying you know saying to him that he was a big fan of wiki leaks he was he likes what wiki leaks is doing for the lead in this speech we can take a little listen now to an extract from that interview where they met.

as who is really a pleasure to meet you julian least in this way and to be welcomed to the club of the persecuted. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. that's only we have to avoid every day. now what's interesting is that whilst they could do or assessing this request for asylum they have said that they're going to take into account of course respect for international law but they also said that they were going to take into account the policy of ecuador in defending human rights now there's been a lot of criticism here already about ecuador human rights record but that is an interesting point because of course huge criticism from isaan just supporters that

the u.k. legal system has very much let him down and of course the u.k. propagating itself as a defender of human rights and certainly his supporters don't feel that's the case they possibly were going to see more like for songe with his bid for a silent could do it but i mean it's certainly by no means certain and the stakes remain extremely high here for authorities or sorry for the live in london thank you. for me time or julian saunders a mother christina sanchia told us here are two that her son was forced to ask for asylum or before being trapped by sweden's legal system. dylan not only hasn't been charged he has made in being questioned despite asking the swedish government to do so for the last to use continues of course the given a flagrant pieces of these human and legal rights in the swedish case the two is. refusal to he to their own police procedures and their own prosecutorial standards that were he to go to sweden where he was the child treasure why and charge

non-christian he would not have the opportunity then to seek political asylum for six seventeen months she's continued to refuse christian imagery to scotland yard for swedish embassy and my son says the reason for this is that once he's crazy then i have to weigh the lady in guy or charge him all right and obviously they have no evidence to charge him that's why they're not questioning him and people who have studied this case believe it's nothing more than a holding case for us extradition i massages controversial interview show as right here on our this time talking to pakistan opposition leader imraan khan out of the latest edition he says that it was only through wiki leaks that his country learned about the true corruption in the leadership. related to. the wiki leaks. not just. the middle of the world but in.

the with the little of these two faced politicians you know who was sucking up to the marriage in the same. grade telling them how worried they were and. you know sucking up to them and. giving completely opposite steve. was a really specially this one religious is this guy who was the who was the lead this religious body and he literally doing the minute is that look if you need to become the prime minister i would never want to do and he's considered the most anti american politician so he was it was a. it really exposes a lot of. i know the full show will be here our next hour on r.t. of course i will keep you up to date with all the latest on julian assange john his surprise asylum request. there hasn't been anything

yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. the source material is what hopes he journalism on this week. we want to present. something else. live from moscow this is r.t. thanks for joining us today there are unconfirmed reports from egypt that convicted former president hosni mubarak is clinically dead after suffering a stroke the news comes as the nation awaits the results of a presidential runoff between an islamist candidate and the former prime minister of the deposed regime artie's policia she has this report from cairo. we are hearing reports from the state media that he is committee did but these reports

have been refuted by the ruling staff the ruling military which insists that he has not died but says that he is in a critical condition we're also hearing from his lawyers that he's in a coma and that he's suffering from water to the lungs the one factor that all sides do seem to agree on is that late on tuesday the former egyptian president did suffer a stroke but it's not clear whether that stroke happened before during or often he was moved from the prison to a military hospital most egypt since all skeptical about this news most people here one verified confirmed reliable and solid information before the election he believes that the format egypt's new president has indeed died the fundamental question we're asking just how people in time here feel about the news that mubarak has died the other wise is the question whether we're not his death would make a difference to people here on the streets in the gentleman's who is actually you know certainly for people he came out and called for him to step down from power

last february mubarak for them is did whether he is dead physically or not makes little difference he's dead in the hearts and in the minds of most egyptians that ask it to call about the news of his death and talking to people here in town this way many say that they believe it's actually a ploy by the ruling generals to detract attention away from the fact that in recent days they have been making an attempt to grab power to detract attention away from the fact that they have issued this interim constitution the fact that they've essentially made themselves the law makers of egypt essentially what they say is that this is a ploy on their side and that is why they don't believe it of his reporting right there where you are with our two used to have you with us still to come for you in the program the moving bricks economies challenge america's long standing dominance over the international monetary fund. a group of twenty most industrialized nations meets in mexico. for now though u.n.

monitors say they are staying put in syria despite having suspended their mission after a spate of attacks targeting the band of the observers are now asking for safety guarantees from the syrian factions so father only the government has agreed at this point with the opposition failing to follow suit with more on this artie's more important. head of the united nations supervision mission in syria general robert mood briefed the u.n. security council on the state of syria and more importantly his decision to suspend the missions activities according to general mood supervision mission in syria can resume once he feels that the observers will be safe and secure as they monitor syria he says the government has made a commitment to ensure the safety of the u.n. workers but so far the opposition group has not the commitment of the government

the opposition to the safety and security and freedom of movement told the observers the government express that it clearly. lays. statements from the opposition the as the head of the u.n. mission in syria was briefing the international community about the crisis taking place in the country media outlets many of them were reporting stories indicating that russia was sending or attempting to send a toc helicopters to syria a claim that russia has denied there was another somewhat outrageous report about some a legit military exercises that were scheduled to take place between russia syria china and iran now the reason i say outrageous is because when you listen to the numbers of this report claiming that ninety thousand soldiers would be participating one thousand tanks one hundred warships that sounds like

a humongous exercise to take place between countries and of course to include one country in the midst of his own conflict now the russian foreign ministry immediately denied this report saying it had no merit there were no facts to it and also russian officials say that those reports. being unleashed by many western media outlets are part of a false information campaign being spread about syria so it is more important than ever right now with this considering the state of the syrian crisis for the information that is being provided by media outlets to be factually supported so here we see that the international community is not just dealing with an escalating conflict in syria there is also an escalating information war taking place outside of the country and most recently it is being aimed at russia by many

western media outlets. for not reporting right there well meanwhile a former us presidential candidate senator john mccain has called for washington to by pass the u.n. launch a military strike on syria coming a little to a contributing editor for the online magazine syria comment so that's all just part of the stuff cycle. there are too many players and. trying to achieve something out of the crisis is a very very complex price is in a way the ways we always want to grow the. forces in syria which are trying to topple the regime so this has been a cycle where the advances and the ways escalates again because they would like all of us preserve us it's going to help them cope with that if you will in august so as long as you have so many forces. excited about the your option there is that the image that always gets there and they will. get there through this information as

usual through like they did before the iraq war and before. intervening in afghanistan in the late seventy's also as they always are doing some information. we'll get to the antiwar dot in just a couple of minutes here on r.t. though for now the bricks group of five leading emerging economies has been seeking greater sway over the i.m.f. chief twenty summit in mexico so far with the pledge of seventy five billion dollars and the gathering was the first meeting between the russian president and his american counterpart sense of law to make putin's return to the kremlin and as a tease guy nature can reports it was an encounter that was visibly strained by the differences between the two. the brics the group of the world's largest emerging markets are making an additional contribution to the i.m.f. that money can be channeled to europe if the crisis there spreads those emerging economies brazil russia india china and south africa also pushing for reforming the

international monetary fund which is widely dominated by the us and europe they want to have a say on how that money is spent and as president putin pointed out a more balanced on a map would become a better tool to react to global economic challenges on international issues on syria president putin said it's nobody's rights to decide for syria who's their legitimate leader and who is not except for the syrian people themselves from president obama's statements it was clear that the u.s. will continue pushing for regime change in syria on the sidelines of the summit president putin had a very long meeting with president obama over to our worst who was behind closed doors but then the leaders came out with a joint statement they said both russia and the u.s. eventually share one goal and that is a peaceful syria where syrians get to decide their own future but russia and the u.s. have seem very differently on how to reach that goal and as president obama said this tuesday the differences are not go anywhere also president putin was asked

about the controversial missile defense shield in europe he was asked about whether president obama's reelection would bring about a breakthrough on the issue and he said he believes the u.s. is going to carry on with the shield plans no matter what. the president is but would dress the coolie as he pointed out. the situation what would lift the tensions around the issue would be the u.s. russia and iran as equal partners in that building and managing the ship that's the kind of partnership that russia has been putting forward for many years now the one that its partners are not taking. well enough. by before we see katie with a business to go straight to france not to kick off the r.t. world update is where police are saying that four people have been taken hostage inside a bank in the southern city of toulouse there are reports that shots have been fired and that the hostage taker claims to be linked to al qaeda in march seven

people were shot dead by a man claiming to have been trained by al qaeda before he was killed in a siege of his apartment there are reports the gunman inside the bank wants to speak to the police unit responsible for that operation. panama's president ricardo martinez says he's withdrawing plans to sell off some state assets following protests in the country's capital students trade union groups and opposition politicians joined the demonstrations outside the national assembly protesters claim the plans include selling off stakes in utility and telecommunications companies or in order to boost government spending in the run up to next year's elections but the government for now denies the allegations. twelve afghans have been killed in a suicide bomb attack on international forces in the east of the country another fourteen were wounded when a motorbike laden with explosives was driven at a nato military convoy in cost city it's the second time this month that coalition

troops have been targeted after a base and police checkpoint in the south were also attacked. as promised a straight acadia the r.t. business that's good to see you today i do tell us a day of hope and speculation perhaps absolutely rory vassar's they're pinning their hopes on the federal reserve over stateside to inject them fifth goes stimulus that's after the asian markets rallied earlier on in the session they were feeling the optimism of the european trade as though they were sitting on the fence not until recently actually we got gains they have that the and just my again another the last hour we have to cut. i want to see now is the minutes from the bank of england latest meeting saying that the monetary policy committee is now considering expanding the five hundred eleven billion dollars asset purchase program so in other words injecting more cash into the system in order to do some

growth and that's helping to dampen the disappointing u.k. jobless claims result that came out which is over eight thousand people having to go to the government to get the benefits because that's out of whack all right we've also have more reports as well coming out of germany to do with a lot of the european financial stability facility to buy bonds and that's because of those escalating boring costs as you can see the common currency is responding to that just now one twenty six zero six and that's how the g twenty leaders are really racking up the pressure on the anglo market to get house in order and as you can see very well as well it is the russian currency is still managing to lose out to the u.s. dollar and the euro in the session that brings us on to the russian markets and they do remain in the red zone to solve to get out of negative territory they're both around eight tenths of a percent down in the dumps relate this to have a quick snap so out there is moves that shake it yourself as well news came out

today that they're planning to give twenty five percent of their net profit as dividends to that shareholders that sell helping reduce the sort that by seven tenth's of a sense over a percent down financials taking a bit of a battering in the afternoon session here moscow a little around a tenth of the sand or prices have a bit of a chilly day so that brings us on to the prices that have a look on this so we're trying though around those to say look at the prices in particular but this hour they have lost a little bit of momentum in the us despite earlier optimism about the fed's going to get all right let's have a look and took about five percent more troubles for other european countries now europe is pushing cyprus to. a full package was ten billion euros resisting the country's attempt to limit the emergency aid to its banking system while the lender in focus is the second largest lender is called cyprus popular bank which took heavy losses due to its exposure to greece now while considering

a bailout from europe's like this has also also russia for a direct flight signaling that it might need help from the buy a good news is i'll be back in about fifteen minutes very good see that thank god but i'll be back with headlines in just about would have certainly having you stay with us here on.
