returning gary mckinnon who's accused of hacking into the pentagon will remain in the u.k. as the home secretary blog says extradition to the u.s. . the fate of prominent human rights activist and not be a lot of our job is still up in the air as a buffer in court adjourns with a trial for organizing a legal protests to resume next month. and the e.u. takes nineteen iranian straight run t.v. and radio stations off the. other side against iran over its ongoing nuclear program.

a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at r.t. moscow received britain gary mckinnon who is a fugitive hacking into the pentagon will not be extradited to the united states the british home secretary decided that sending mckinnon who does suffer from aspersions syndrome to america carried the risk that he might try to take his own life reporting now from london r.t. is. waterboarding of the mind that's what gary mckinnon's mother has called the eleven year wait to know what's going to happen to our son the experience of waiting all that time from when he was arrested back in two thousand and two for hacking into u.s. military computers all that time the u.s. has wanted him to go on trial that way he could face up to ten attention a sixty year sentence now it's a massive cyber relief for mccann then he now knows that he's not facing extradition to resume a said that it would be because of it would be

a breach of its human rights to send him because. gary mckinnon as many now know he is mentally ill and he would be a massive risk of suicide if he were to go to the states now it has been a strong line of pressure from the united states to send him over so this is very much a difficult decision for the home secretary that she had to make today however she has now made it now means that government mckinnon stays in the u.k. and prosecutors here are going to decide whether or not he should face trial in the u.k. why did repercussions from the decision on gary mckinnon today that's interesting to a lot of observers a lot of people in the u.k. have spoken for a long time now about how unbalanced an undergrad the u.k. u.s. extradition treaty is. nine times more britons go over to the u.s. in the past ten years than u.s. citizens come over to the u.k. to be tried so what the home secretary have suggested is that there is now going to be a forum for anybody who is wanted by the united states and that means in plain terms

it means that anybody wanted by the u.s. is going to have a hearing in the u.k. where judges will decide whether or not it's bad to send a suspect so the states of course want to reporting there from london the appeal hearing for a prominent buck or any human rights activist has adjourned until next month now bill job was jailed for three years in august for organizing and participating in illegal rallies sentence brought hundreds of pro-forma demonstrators onto the streets to demand his release but under arrest in bahrain has now been ongoing for more than twenty months with fights between police and demonstrators erupting almost daily around eighty people have been killed since the clashes began thousands arrested in crackdowns by the sunni rules on the most of the campaigners the protesters are demanding more rights equal access to jobs and education opportunities human rights advocate. attended jobs hearing.

the judge just a few have to do we told him to get into the new deal with the state that i'm happy with this book and give me a copy just to buy it interesting morning that he was beginning he's going to put this one judge just a few we don't want to hurt you this is the only one that we're seeing and he didn't use the use we just want to know everyone and he was more. than going to himself will come up i mean it seems that the government just didn't do what they want to back up on t.v. what i keep this. up was that you bought it it just did give us the image that he wanted and it was made up and it must be here i just want to thank god that he missed it and now i'm talking to media the second i find out what i'm doing the second i could get to the body no joke in doing what i tell you because if you can't do anything what's happening in putting that people out if you can get sick i think he wants to protect you and that evolution came what it would not want people

to think he could to get away with this and they would not stop. now the u.s. has admitted that weapons shipped to the syrian rebels from abroad bolstering the strength of islamic extremists but washington is just it's only providing non-lethal aid to the opposition some american officials concede radical elements are poised to take over syria if assad falls or in english grow has the latest the us has admitted that the aid which they have been sending towards the syrian rebels actually does not end up in the hands of the groups which they were hoping it would end up and quite on the contrary the united states officials are now saying that in fact the money that they keep sending over which then goes towards the purchasing of arms end up in the hands of the islamist extremist groups the arms are being purchased by qatar and saudi arabia which have a tendency to prefer the radical movements such is the sellers who then end up with

these top notch extremely expensive weapons which they then use against the troops of president bashar al sadr even the group the secular opposition groups within syria itself are saying that they simply cannot afford to buy the same type of arms which are being used by the radicals neither do they can they afford the cameras which are being used by these radical groups such as the free syrian army who are then using it to broadcast their accomplishments or failures on you tube and the like of course the united states administration at this point is concerned that the arms are ending up in the hands of the extremist groups because they fear that in the future these groups will turn into insurgencies which then will retaliate against the united states of course there are also other diplomats within the middle eastern circuits who are saying is that at this point a lot of people are being frustrated with the syrian opposition who have proven

that they unfortunately cannot unite over one plan according to the something diplomats who are being cited by various that media sources. they have come to the conclusion that the syrian opposition is essentially a large conglomeration of smaller groups who spend their time bickering and cannot come to any one agreement and it's this very fact that there is no agreement or there is no clear cut plan which is also worrying to the united states now the u.s. officials are saying that because there is no plan as to what's going to happen in the future they fear that if president bush are all all said is alfred that will mean that in the turmoil which follows there will be a civil war in which the radical islamist groups will be much better armed and will be a lot better financed than the secular groups and that will just mean they play out of the libyan scenario all over again. in the meantime the u.s. has backed turkey's move to inspect syria bound jets saying it will intercept all

such flights so he has already grounded two planes and ships cargo for possible military equipment. the editor in chief of a german news magazine says it's flexing its muscles because it's already involved in a proxy war with damascus. why should you put one hundred more tanks towards the syrian border why it shook turkey. why should they discuss how it will take against the syrian carcass and the syrian side of the border. it looks like a war preparation then you don't. play anymore syrian war which is going on in syria. and turkey is already very much more by being mercenaries by giving shall occur or training camps and by sending more material to syria so turkey is already and will

underscore in what we see here is the program or we witness it since a long time this is our account down which could see the u.k. and scotland go their separate ways after over three centuries has begun prime minister david cameron and scotland's first minister have signed a deal for a two thousand and fourteen referendum which could lead to the nation's sovereignty seems sara for thoughts of the campaigns both for and against independence. buying this starting shows with that pens and what's being dubbed the edge and bradley mint is signed it's being described as the most important political decision to face the united kingdom for three hundred years that prime minister david cameron the first minister alex salmond meeting to sign his story on an independence referendum out of the battle for scotland begins after years of political wrangling the face fighting will now commence they sides will want to put

their arguments forward and some people will be getting their clues out in his press conference alex salmond had to field a question why he wants to tear up the british flag why was that the joy of the language. the b.b.c. are the. business of. developing a new relationship between the peoples of these islands so i think a more beneficial. that's what we're trying to build points of focus of both sides will be the economy and she's of defense whether scott then with the strong get going it alone really is better where it is and the referendum to be held tools the end of twenty fourteen will focus on a single question whether scotland becomes independent or not dropping the much me to third option that would have seen more powers going to scotland last remaining

inside the union this is now an all or nothing game with the polls have been consistent over the past decade if not longer the support for independence remains at about the first of the population it doesn't really get much higher than that but those days in the pro union camp may seem outwardly confident as the pro and the pendants group are quick to point out the outcome of this fight is far from the given. truth. she did. you. know that we were going to be very hard. indeed the s.n.p. now hold sixty nine hundred twenty nine seats in parliament but the stakes are high

many feel the first minister has bet his career for the worst scotland to vacate for independence it would be said to these a third of its land mass and most of its oil and so with everything still to play for these were the first concrete steps on the way. the possible scottish independence. iran's media silenced in europe as a leading satellite provider takes nineteen stations off the air and even though the latest round of sanctions against tehran only targeted buying transfers and trade we ask one expert where this leaves the issue of freedom of speech. plus foreign millionaires hunting for famous vineyards across france are also being accused of threatening the country's national identity and other stories just ahead for you that will be after a short break. a

texas mom was arrested and thrown in jail orange jumpsuit and all for neglecting her kids who are playing in front of her house for just a little while a concerned neighbor and sort of say walking across the street you know to talk to an attendant children to find out what's going on went to the total she mode and immediately called nine one one because children playing it is truly an emergency worth the police's time but i guess it was worth their time because they showed up and slap the cuffs on the mother who claimed that she was there the whole time and of course to punish you for ignoring your children briefly while they play you'll get thrown behind bars because that makes sense where does this culture of fear come from if you leave your kids alone on your own property why does that mean that they are certainly going to die there are dangers out there believe me but living

good to have you with us here on our. show in moscow nineteen iranian state run t.v. and radio stations have been taken off the air in the e.u. so the decision by a leading european satellite provider follows a tightening of sanctions against tehran by european officials for the measures targeting iran's banking sector and energy trader aimed at making it to curb it suspected nuclear weapons program professor forward as r.t. from the university of tehran says actually the ban has been a long time coming. some of the european governments the united states government doesn't like iranian media outlets you may remember in the leaky leaks documents we have had cables that you know u.s. officials talk about the iranian channels and talk about thinking about finding ways of stopping their broadcasting and banning them many of these channels that

have been banned and actually broadcast in farsi for iranian expatriates who live in united states or europe so the situation that we hardly obviously contrary to freedom of information on the number of countries all this talk about. the issue of freedom of speech that we also hear from united states a number of european countries all the time and i think it basically shows that there's a double the same there when it comes to iranian freedom of speech this is the noises or progressive voices from iran that has to be banned but there really is not really to. the lawyers of five people accused of planning the nine eleven attacks say the u.s. wants to cover up the fact they were all tortured in secret cia prisons are pretrial hearings are underway in guantanamo bay for the men clearing the self professed mastermind of september the eleventh the case histories international concern over washington's methods of questioning captives the week long pretrial

guess that guantanamo is is a program i think by and large is the embarrassment over what we did in trying to keep that quiet i mean i was on a panel last week here in d.c. with one of the senior members of the prosecution team who said all these trials are going to be in transparency but as you've seen today i mean transparency is a forty second sound alay and reporters tweeting from guantanamo in these are extraordinarily transparent but the public can attend and like you said you know the government can pick and choose what it wants to blank out and i think that's the purpose of the military commissions is to try to avoid embarrassment over things that we did in some cases a decade ago. not far off from the also you will debate for now though billionaire blackouts in the battle for the white house vote for your out the koch brothers wall and their employees they will be layoffs if they support president obama in the twenty twelve election. but wolf air inflamed new virus on coupled by russian computer experts could be adding to already heightened tensions in the middle east

much more on that talk. fight off to germany now to pick up the update it's way over two thousand people were evacuated from their homes offer a poisonous leak at a food plant. that's according to local officials have lifted an emergency alert imposed because of a chemical accident at the. factory being run by the us giant kraft foods a cloud of poisonous gas smother the town after dangerous chemicals were accidentally mixed producing a violent reaction. the u.s. secretary of state has taken the blame for an attack on american diplomats in libya in which the ambassador died clinton said she was personally in charge of ensuring their security comments came amid reports that america is preparing a harsh response to that benghazi attack with special forces on high alert and armed drones flying over northern africa. in the u.s.

up some of the nation's most iconic vineyards are putting centuries of tradition at risk of financial reports on a case of perhaps sour grapes. wine the french culture pride and prestige but some see the country's national identity is now thrust by foreigners hunting for the news all across the. tree this shuttle was just a to have to retain french burgundy original home to one of the world's famous wines made the headlines after it was purchased by china's entrepreneur former owners forced by financial troubles were forced to sell it and the merchant they don't know for twice the market price and that has worried some in the hysteria that followed the front national france's far right party slender deal as emblematic of the danger threatening french heritage with much bigger chateaus already owned by japanese and russians just next door such

a reaction to this particular sale could be taken as an eco of the so-called their you join or yellow peril in the sixty's the paranoia of asian world dominance political economic and demographic that seems to be making this comeback these days but there is no smoke without fire me shelley oh no thirty hackers of shadow the grapes producing two hundred fifty thousand bottles p. year says the reason problem but it's not that foreigners buy french family vineyards but that the owners have to sell them. but the courts taxes are very high and the hardest thing is to cover in the arrogance tax of all many so part of their forms to overcome that and it's progressive every next generation has to pay more for those too michelle will likely sacrifice one head to toe tooth but he fears in fifty years' time he'll have sold a lot of foreign investors could be playing a negative role here too taxes depend on the region's average sale prices but with some businessman from abroad paying twice or even three times market values they

are forcing high costs on to locals and many are worried these investors don't care about the industry they're buying into. these people they come here and they buy land just like they buy a brick castle or jewelry or are the really good investors the taxes go up because of them but will they keep the wind quality up well we think. should be a state protectionism policy here. but some experts are skeptical of state support saying the french authorities are not only unhelpful but actually trouble making. a commune there are many regulations that impede development to be bring things every day enterprise g.'s house to prove what his lawyers and accountants about and then sound to different ministers or at least two people on social environmental or fiscal security can you imagine how much effort. while it could be directed to really worthwhile things it's not want and with the eurozone economies in such

trouble risks are high these not twice could become too late the industry teams could well and truly be over a borrow more if notion r.t. reporting from france. in time for us to use katie pilgrim good to see you again katie you were talking about a new boss warming the throne of citigroup hardware exactly that always setting out to impress him today his name is michael ware he's going to be the new leader of the gag he has been head of europe so far and he's going to take over from the pound to lead the bank through a u.s. bailout wall repaying our house and two hundred sixty one million dollars for him selves so if this is seen as you roll the puzzle by the news it certainly was the expenses that have a look at the numbers on wall street because a lot of news coming to day i would you say we are looking at days as industrial production rose more than expected others but they're out of corporate earnings as

well estimates including datsun and also one of the top ones europe mother just to stay up at the end of the trading day we had ratings agency standard and poor's cutting the raising of fifty the spanish banks the exchange rate so the euro group made up investors will now be turning their attention to the e.u. summit later on this week. whether or not spanish. is. what investors are i see how you think of for now some kind of resolution to the mass as you can see the ruble finished up the day they make statements of cars is not see the closing figures for the russian. because they didn't finish high and they were. from the global equity markets the holiday were lots of days say lots of positive numbers as they were also oil money a quick big returns on investments booming consumer to my. investors to russia before the crisis now five years later is a bit of

a case of deja vu the country's consumer market became an even stronger magnet for foreign investors and putting a cover explains exactly why. the middle class in russia has tripled over the last five years to more than ten million households not so many but each person here has substantially more buying power than the average in china brazil india a survey of a kitchen p.r. agency based on the opinions of three hundred three best be revealed if these russian confused that are attracting investors to the country and many people from outside think that the most attractive feature is the resources of oil that's the third and is actually going down slightly attractiveness the most important one though is the growing in the wealth of the middle class and so that move from second position to first and for the rest of us see the middle class in the growing middle classes being the most attractive feature of russia the service is showing

much more positive enthusiasm for russia compared to five years ago before the crisis in two thousand and seven and so literally over seventy percent of the companies invested here feel good about their investment over seventy percent feel the country's on the right path those are really strong numbers russians who are not korea's big spenders as to hitting the shops and their credit cards. i think globally they come. out of that compares favorably with the euro growth rates in the west. the taleban a form of those are the hard thing to. all of that makes me want to go shopping for a god as usual katie thanks so much for that seem to her. states are. telling you all the things that buying stuff want you to hear the kaiser report is next.
