i'm tired of the big. hello live from moscow this is r t is kevin owen here this hour the top story for you chaos over the cost of living riots in the west bank the palestinian leaders desperate for calm. watches for signs of another uprising against banks. russia stands up for its energy giant gazprom saying the e.u. is trying to force gas prices down moscow's pass to greece saying that anyone who has a problem with the company would also have a problem with the government. doing more against taking sides in the syrian conflict the rebels and the regime

a share the blame for the bloodshed as western powers are again turning a blind eye level atrocities. on britons in for decades of stagnation says a top union leader blaming a program for plunging more and more people into poverty. next we speak to the man who is in julian assange his corner in the legal battle against attempts to have the whistleblower extradited to sweden. who once faced up to chilean dictator augusto pinochet explains the tough task ahead of him right now. let's punch a day of the studio we have gillett ourselves as a lawyer a force that is judged famous for living high profile criminal cases drug trafficking corruption and terrorism he also issued the arrest warrant for forward chilean dictator augusto pinochet but that's another song hello mr garcia with us have hello north of you said that everything that's happening to us is extreme and

just as why is that. it isn't justice because the u.s. is conducting a criminal investigation into we killings and that's according to a few but nevertheless very reliable reports in which this case targets mostly julian asuncion but other founders of the organization are also involved. in this respect it is absolutely clear to us that such investigation and prosecution i would join a list who is in essence just doing his job violates freedom of speech in the us it cancer you which prides itself in always defending freedom of speech if you have value firmly stipulated ensconced it to show that this is a big concern and launch leak this was the reason why join a sense decided to seek refuge from sweden in the ecuadorian embassy because he knew that he could have been extradited to the u.s. for that's what it was all about and ecuador took this responsibility and granted

diplomatic and political asylum to julian asuncion so mr assad and his defense team don't have to justify this decision he exercised his fundamental right moving it is clear that political asylum was granted because julian essential was facing terrible injustice and this is what we are fighting against at the moment and we will continue to fight and prove that there is no reason to prosecute mr sons who also julius songs. it's ready to give you statement he is ready to be questioned in sweden submit himself to other procedures but only if he is guaranteed that it would not lead to more complicated gays in which he's right to freedom of speech and information would be violated so the link is nothing you say that you have proof of that the us has contacted a secret investigation do you think it's legal to conduct such investigations.

and make every country has a practice of conducting secret investigations of course if there are good reasons for that we don't know whether the us has such a reason in this case but we know for sure that the case has been no good the us government admitted the fact and we also know that no official charges have been brought against mr asunder so far but it only means he's not charged at the moment they could as we'll charge him and danny time in the future but we also know that the u.s. continues to give their day there on the case and theoretically it could be the source for an indictment which would supposedly be used to issue an international arrest warrant. in line with us law we have sent a request to the american authorities to confirm that they're indeed conducting an investigation of his it if it is if that's so why then is mr is songes defense not

taking part in it if the defense has no access to the case that in what ways the own go on collection of evidence consistent with us legislation. as soon as we clear that up we'll be able to say whether this case is in line with the law so florey the statements made by some prominent american politicians indicate that he could be indicted under the espionage act l all which has not been enforced since the cold war. i don't think mr a song she's a spy he merely published information he received from outside sources through we kill it's with information that was available to thousands of people all he did was exercise he's right to freedom of information he received and shared it i am much more surprised that there has been known best to get into the glaring crimes documented knows leaked reports featuring the us interference by

a different channels of information or proxies in various states with issues that have absolutely no relation to either national security or the safety of the american citizens who are defense but rather are indicative of the internal disorder in the united states. and this is going to help us in the senate before we talk about his possible extradition to the u.s. you thought that julian assad is not avoiding prosecution is with his avoiding extradition to the u.s. you also mentioned that this wish case against joining us sounds has no grounds and the charges that were brought against him are not there a clear what did you mean by that. but if. i meant that according to the information we have. this case i mean the testimony of julian asuncion some documents that we were able to get our hands on this case has no grounds when he came to do you think and the courts are not here to rule it on his extradition

julian assange she told swedish prosecutors that he was ready to cooperate he said that earlier today before he left as we said he when offered to come back for questioning with you and he still ready to do that only now he's asking for the prosecutor to come to the u.k. and western official this is not a rebellious behavior on the contrary we respect the judicial system was within you know we have no objective reasons not to trust him but we think that their approach is too harsh you know they want to leave their sons to come to sweden for western. and your opinion why did sweden take this as you say harsh approach you sad that you can accept their terms under one condition but is there some legal framework for this how can a country guarantee that it won't extradite a person and to another country in the future. nothing is impossible when you and all poor are doing everything we can that there are two thousand years here that we are considering over is the sure the u.k.

has legally obliged to fulfill its wardens demands to be there is the supreme court only this ruler with what we think it is also their obligation to protect mr sanchez riding to political asylum and we think that this ride into political asylum needs to be defended and they're going to this point we consider the problem of i don't understand why you in your son she needs to be what present in person at this question you mean there that's their demand a fee but nobody can explain to us why these has to happen in sweden or not in london when especially now when he has been granted political asylum and he's under diplomatic protection of the ecuadorian embassy what is the guarantee is have to be determined so how likely is it that's with him being aware that death. wilkens practiced in the us will accept a sauce that we don't know we don't even know whether sweden that would agree to extradite julian assange there is a certain procedure thirteen years or when any country doesn't administer gavel to

leave hunnish mentees requested to extradite if a person you know has to be sure of why the request your theory except that the death penalty will not be carried out even if it in the past is that it's not even about administering the money not administering the death penalty anymore but rather of a recognized right of political and diplomatic asylum or food there is income you're ecuador and i state that it makes scenes that he says he's rather than criminal. so we can't really discuss extradition tell us is going to julian assange has been granted political asylum noise that there is no chance of an extradition request to be satisfied but the thing is this is a case of a severe infringement group human rights ecuador is a decision to grant you in a sanchez siloam you know he's a right to work with you and that's not a writing risi he becomes someone when it's recognized right now julian assange

choose to political arrest that he cannot be prosecuted for the actions that serve as the basis for his rather suing asylum in the first place. and the problem is that he can't only exercise this constitutional right. actually he's exercising or right now he can't be attacked or arrest to go storming the embassy would be inconceivable especially after those statements made by such international organizations as organization of american states and before that the u.n. in accordance with the security council resolution that indium the attacks on the british embassy in tehran last november and rita rated that he says of embassies are inviolate. i think britain made a whole threat. and yes he's exercising his rights but in a very limited fashion as if he's living in the embassy under its protection you know exactly every limited fashion that he has been granted asylum but he's staying

in a small room with just four square meters and this could go on a for a long time and this has simply tried to wear the british authorities out and. no i really mean there is no time limit to resolve this situation it diplomatic solution is possible i don't know whether this is being discussed and whether there is any progress and a legal solution is also possible of both countries go to the international court of justice who is rulings there are bound to be all in all julian assange and he supporters are powerless and the pain is so political diplomatic or legal decision that we can express our opinions we can contribute to the process by providing documents and expertise we can give advice on what to do but we can't make the final decision because we are not authorized to julian assange has a right to political asylum and it can be disputed and defended but he's not the one deciding the outcome. thank you very much mr our son would say thank you.
