thanks. the. quest is expected to be announced any minute now. the whistleblower still won't be able to leave the country even if granted refuge by. the ecuadorian embassy in london police detained several supporters of the wiki leak after threatening to storm the premises and arrest the. sweet. enemy of the state and one of us. has been jailed for three years for taking part in government.

it is a pleasure to have you with us here and. coming to you live from moscow now the president of ecuador is expected now to announce his decision on whether to provide . political asylum but that should be happening in the next couple of minutes any second now but britain's foreign office says even if the whistleblower is given refuge hill still be denied safe passage from the u.k. outside the ecuadorian embassy in london is laura smith of course has been holed up now for the past couple of months. tensions been building ever since it was revealed. will be made today what's going on at the embassy where you want. to be the anticipation.

and i mean this is. just threats that they will still in the act which were in embassy despite the fact that it's not and to seize all over the world under an international law deems to be sold for the territory of those countries the third to face as you say has said that they will not be issuing julian assange safe passage to increasingly whether or not he is crunch decided and there is turning into a bit of a moot point at city because it's very unlikely that he's going to be able to leave them to see behind me where he's been holed up for the last two months so i'm really unpleasant to play him and see if you like his building up the ecuadorians say that's the way they say that this is a unbecoming of a civilized and the revising state they say that they're interpretating this that the unfriendly intolerable and hostile acts and the british government for its part

says that the embassy behind me it's no longer being used for the purpose which it was intended under the vienna convention and say that full they can go into it they can revoke kits diplomatic immunity and go in there a lot of protesters head there being two or three arrests that i've seen of protesters who've been taken away but a lot more have come to take that place since early this morning there certainly lower a lot a lot of supporters of julian assange just showing up where you are outside the ecuadorian embassy i understand is very noisy where you are so i'll try and speak loudly for you but you were mentioning a moment ago the issue of wiki leaks not publishing a scathing statement with regard to britain's calling dr for example the british foreign office saying if they have to they'll take a song by force from the embassy what can you tell us about that. that's right we haven't been able to talk to julian assange himself he's obviously got to stay in the building behind a con come out but we have seen a statement released by wiki leaks the very scathing statements about the british government's proposed actions they say there's no basis for being able to raise the

embassy under international law and it certainly would be a completely unprecedented move desperate if you like they say it would be a transgression of the sanctity of embassies and a shameful act. and they also condemn what they're calling the results of intimidation they say that the only reason the person threatened to do this is to force ecuador into making a decision that would be favorable to them i.e. not granting asylum a tool to issue a scathing indictment if william hague the foreign secretary who's in charge of the country at the may because the prime minister and deputy prime minister have gone on holiday that william hague and the foreign office of pool of course be in charge of negotiations with that and we can be saying he's made a complete mess of that and if he does that they suspect it's approved this decision to break into the embassy then they will be calling for his immediate resignation so as i say it just isn't very imminent we're expecting any second now absolutely right we are we are standing by here with breaking news live on our way to the speech certainly the comments coming from the ecuadorian president nor smith

also the ecuadorian embassy in london many thanks to you and to you. well here and i'll tell you we will certainly be hearing much more from our correspondent laura smith all throughout the day plus you can check the latest updates via twitter feed . the london bureau you can also see pictures of a police dispersing a song just supporters near ecuador's embassy plus all the best video from that website on what's he dot com. now author and journalist tariq ali recently spoke to julian a songe he also featured in one of the whistleblowers final interview programs here on r.t. it's where they discussed issues such as activism something i really believed is now under siege like never before. i think we have to now in different parts of the world including the western world clamp down on dissent to a culture in which we live in the western world today the official culture is

deeply hostile to whistleblowers to war hackers where in the public interest and democracy everywhere is being hollowed out just think if a similar situation was going on in beijing all moscow or some other capital and a dissident in moscow all be cheering had taken refuge in the british embassy and the it russian government or the chinese government or some other government not regarded in the pockets of the west said we can actually read your embassy and take this guy out you can just imagine the response there would have been in the media but meantime laura and lawyer and author eva golinger also commented on the u.k.'s threat to storm the ecuadorian embassy saying that london's approach could ultimately prove to be extremely misguided. under international law it's

a complete violation so it would clearly cause a rupture in relations we don't know what could happen beyond that in terms of any kind of violent physical interaction that could occur if if you know the united kingdom or to send its security forces into ecuador's embassy i mean that that's a direct physical threat could be responded by a good or as defending their own territory as as would be the case in in one's own country it could cause for tensions between other latin american nations it would that mean simply breaking relations on a regional level that could happen so i don't know where the u.k. thinks they're going with this i mean there's some speculation that me being the u.k. thinks that this kind of intimidation in pressure against ecuador being a small country in south america will have some kind of fact and not just hand over julian assigns but i think that if that's what they're thinking then the brits have got it wrong on latin american sovereignty and integrity and dignity today because that certainly is not going to be the position that ecuador is going to take for

latin america as a region. well at least one chapter of the saga should soon be finished with the foreign minister of ecuador expected to announce his decision on the whistleblowers asylum request that should be any moment now and we'll be bringing that to you live here on our together with more opinion and analysis of today's developments around the we can be said it's a process on choose interview program here on our t.v. of course it's always available on our website datsun daughter co. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact on. the source material which is what helps keep journalism on we. we want to present. something else.

now or this person has also been decision day for another pariah it actually appeared as a guest on julian assigned his program about raines the most prominent human rights activist not bill but i just you just me sentenced to three years in prison for organizing and taking part in illegal gatherings are his top bottom to join us here live on the program with more details on this tom good to see you not build a job already serving a three month term for antigovernment comments on twitter what is with that latest development in this case he has indeed as you say another pariah facing very likely a big decision in his fight against against his government and wanting reform from his government now bill rajab has been sentenced to three years coincidentally he talked to julian assange on an interview shown on r.t. in may he has been given this three year sentence according to a bahrain court for taking part in and calling for illegal antigovernment

protests however when the sentences were handed down he was already in prison serving a three month sentence for previously posting anti government comments on twitter. a lot of this is received a lot of messages of support from his supporters and from his family they say this was an unknown unexpectedly harsh sentence they've also. issued tweets and comments criticizing paula jones tom i'm so sorry to interrupt you but i do you know here at r c a we are standing by for the for the comments from the ecuadorian foreign affairs minister to cardo pinto regarding are they granting julian assange asylum in the country let's tune in now and see what he has to say. well we are standing by here on this for you from ricardo pinto the ecuadorian foreign affairs minister here is now let's have a listen to see what if since. i am going.

to steal a number to declare to make a statement in here and on behalf of the ecuadorian government it's going to be divided into two parts the first part will refer to the. what the. government said yesterday that has to the with the brands that we have received from the u.k. . think about that in the in the hour we were at the embassy in london only and in the second place a statement about the answer of thirty two words the security on the asylum request by assign each of them in a part of the first part of the statement. it was called we want. to state strongly states that position of the ecuador regarding this threat that the

u.k. government will play a bit yesterday against our of our country we cannot allow the peace process and peace friendly conversations with the u.k. related to the asylum of julian assange will be obstructed by an official communication that is aggressive towards the ecuador. their relationship between this day spokes man in these two contraries has been aggressive and unproper you all and to call us as you will before and they refer to them being honest about their position in it. the law and the. on the current the ambasador is a zero for the u.k. in quito you must be aware that there isa legal foundation in the u.k. than it was in the in the year that was in force in one thousand seventy seven that

would allow us to take action to arrest julian the signage even side the ecuadorian embassy in the. lead and there's a second part to this which is even the stronger sincerely we expect not to have to do with these politics if you do not solve this problem isn't the us your your facility this these routes will be open for all us and we will proceed it will be a little got a so we are going to beat you to devote hard to this and hit you hard but if you behave then then maybe we will be softer now you are leaning and we feel the love of him in these states both penley you know they are on. the wheel to use any tools govern the mantle or others and the use of force and the violence it causes and to day in the law to solve a situation and

a relationship which had been previously friendly but in the past losses in they assign each case the u.k. involving going to russell silver has been the tool and. we have been looking for a way to get to an agreement that will be except this victory for all parts of. the ecuador is a sobering country and we have the right to freely make of the sea shone about the request of us at the center that has a child his request to us and we will decide freely on these we want to remind also . that among all this it will be other than the tsunami is to be the proceeding to do. nations that have been stated in. the us you need to feel and to do this in a book with interests if actions in diplomatic facilities there have been the grisham says the one who sees that is the media is in the movie doing little beyond

the nose they need to get sued by a healthy child for that is the sentiment that they will need to go through until it was legal if those see little miss in the vienna sort of listening to dramatically mozilla's this isn't the way the convention about the dramatic relationships in sixty one these days dads are there because for me in the locality diplomatically carries the respect of folding in the and the relationship between diplomats of the different on trees coffee. mr that we have to mention called you suppose that the resolution of the un with these two number forty seven when in december nine hundred seventy nine in the lives of those who do things other side on the left this is the buzz both from the from the crisis in the embassy of the unite to the status of you know when the middle east in the end the convention was the legal tool to solve some of these contingencies and so now you know regarding the situation of that it is not the person male in different countries of the us

that we cannot accept will be found to be be found that the british no east. we had the right to the embassy there to be no national law can be used to feed them in the in this way in the in an interesting way in any diplomatic facilities in any place of the world the ministers explicitly does the state and shouldn't be used to threaten to place or blackmail the sovereignty of any other country to support your bill you will see some opening it's a situation that they said stick out very dangerous to go back round in the world be everywhere requested immediately to the regional stay the body has. so most of the want to agree with jonas anyway and they coexist. and they called it an awesome goal of the summit to really try to deal with this thread any more than they did at a regional level and today so that peace fact does not go. global and is that

people assume it will work in iraq is it really done in the way they are or you unpunished could move to by equator one stupid thing to do politically there are some social activists and many other supporters from many other countries that have a glimmer stated their support of the told me it was already on the governmental they answer of the u.k. government has not been satisfying because up to now when we haven't received any apology a in the direct if it recreational or any. other for the nile about to be a permission that hasn't released about the threat of the violence that might be easiest to the places you list the lowest it could or even a separate free democratic state that is not subjected to any external influences independently from any before running interests other than their own as people see the amended in the same way as you see on the we are restating our

position in the way of respect to international rights on the inside the lives of animals and for the dialogue among suffering in space to solve conflicts are going to make this a statement has to the with elijah what happened yesterday for them ended but only . to return to this on apple hard because it was it will be one of these enable communication from a number twenty ninth two thousand and eleven american assisted by how about the raid on the embassy of the u.k. in the iraqi lead by the way known to the facilities of the embassy of the u.k. in the run go to do portably to these communication was easy to by the president of the bay of security in that un me. the person who is really into the political zealously would have the nine he went to his counterparts and before he deals with this is west issued by the press then to a host of these committee he says yes and it says it will go soon as the members of

the committee the way these questions done so that the u.k. government doesn't see this where the members of the am not of this comedian condemned the attacks of the u.k. going to deal with it has been enough trisha's to their diplomatic facilities and they have caused many many years harm to have that much harm to the blues into the moon does give me a lot of it has been a little my violation the fundamental rights will lead us into the hole we have most of this is really about sometimes you get a bad violation of the. views and the human soul has really come up because your home is your the diplomatic relations it's time to come sanction now this nine hundred seventy six plus of the consular relationships we have to take a look at necessary steps against allies. to protect me a secret diplomatic facilities against any intrusion would bore harm that may be caused this on the in these contacts to samantha diapers and being very worried as

in the general we are calling the young eat iran out of power it is to protect us he goes through that he's a diplomat the hostilities and that's the magic personnel somebody goes you're going to look you know is things going to. pull some of. us are legless in the role of the political elite now we are going to just let you know about our the situation about the heyday of science requests for asylum to a civilian a trial in july two thousand and twelve julian assange came to me and qatar and embassy in london requesting for a diplomat. protection from the equatorial governmental hindus. in india muscles of these will be motivated for a lucid bases request on the threat exists and they fear that he is experiencing them living here in the u.k. you still use your home the way you know this was your final tonight and the as you

would seem to us extra bad to say then the it will seal of the city with peace in the year that we in the law must see must they government to come to our own sentinel he has examined this request and evaluate it all of the different aspects evolving in days especially arguments presented by a silent but not too bad cop is on tonight he's fear a bit in the situation legal but assuming what he perceives has had danger and a threat to his personal. safety and his life on his freedom seeker must say the missions that mr estancia has requested asylum should be adequate to exploit earthian to young people who love to split up because he has been threatened to kill and he has been charged with espionage for the entry seven and uses it in the yellow to you he appears ready to pull out because he doesn't want to be the only virtue to be american no hurry despite that you think government stimulus will

signs because he says in that country plus if you close your legs for the most you'll go with a little but it will be a little he has published on march compromising information against the us government feel so he really fierce a lot having to go there and being extradited in there through a ceiling as he said actions i was looking for are still to come from a he was just doing his job when he was publishing all of these compromising information on the man he was trying to unveil corruption this is the use of human rights that has taken place was done so there was a day when a person who is requesting the fundamentals of the earliest he took his request in these asylum because of all the charges that he. being charged with what a legal opinion it's supposed to and the imminent risk to him not to look at the wound on a bush you know because it is important and because he doesn't want to face a political persecution complex in the middle scum will be that we'll little bit of

good here who would violate his rights easily nine threaten his life and his freedom so the equate to a reality with the government has come caesar's to do the following the things the julian assange estab professional of the international communications and he has been struggling and fighting for freedom of speech that will cause the response companies are assigned he has shared with the global public information on the tribulation that there is up humans and information on the gulf will still run with that has affected two countries a case in the news in these two the rebellious young government officials and many other people who are only with us from new jersey or the countries that see this idea to put it politically it will soon be a should be seen for main show and who want to proceeding ways that can harm not only his life but his freedom and many other aspects of his life the place of the of what it is countries which he will cut a deal with he's going to put up a headless they were and these have been required to protect the sanctions and

these these countries have the night to giving these securities to him to deal with . the gaze of the leafleting only want to stop his extradition of mr assange is viable they seem to have countries outside of the european union are no good aren't seeing he's still a person now safety and integrity and that's really so these are all of these and this tradition has been assigned to the united states mr assigns would not have lost their trial when i was in the c.l. is he would be tried by a military trial because in the military courts and we think it will not be clean he will not be treated the respectfully he will be treated no one with this respect and i mean the way in which he's human rights will. law to be respected and there will be diogenes to assign it will also have to respond to the investigation that has been the started in sweden we know going to and that can be you the attitude of this within the government has been very top of the fence and they have kept him

from exercising he's fooled rights to supply our fair defense sounds good i'll do the talking the deal still knowing killing look i'm stuck on the escalator sink with the past is the computer and that mr assange does not have the adequate protection that he should be getting from the state he is from which he calls his fantasy good citizenship when he was really the mother because then all of the diplomatic them the time your communications goes with him in the same among different countries sort of but that one of them is us we cannot jail is that the us government will not receive back into some of the everyman's that have been maintained in these regards but this is there because you and they have evolved this is where the sunshine meet mr assange insurance was the least put in preventive jails in sweden he will not go in a safe there would be a chain of events that would hold the key but only thought of the police to those who don't dig the proper decisions from being made to avoid it's got a later extradition is

a lot of women do something then these arguments are hustlers in town to put this in founding the fears of mr s. time to go political persecution this is the second consequences the feel of what he did to the good things and his fight to freedom of speech and freedom of press just religion who they live and it's you know places and going to get the unveiling of the abuse that many governments have done to encourage and in many countries wouldn't be able to it's a situation that is subsample of putting his life at risk into the tsunami and his personal integrity of only knowledge it is easy and here he will cut it has to push him into the request asylum to a quieter and the you are going to be in the embassy that you ok. this india to really is against the jewish sharia law in the delivery of it your right to asylum is a stated the seal of the land it's fully you look beautiful here their right to asylum and refugees are fully up in the lake she told the sun these are not opposed to the
