next week so all of the potential hopes that julian assange might have had about potentially considering being able to walk out of the equip dorrian embassy right behind me here in london for now are stalled as this really seemingly endless saga of his legal case continues here in london but what we do know for now is that julian assange is in fact appealing this arrest warrant based off of his alleged breaching of bail conditions in the u.k. which potentially would be the last hurdle in his case to be able to walk out of the ecuadorian embassy given that british officials have been saying time and time again until this appeal was filed by him that if he does walk out of the ecuadorian embassy he would be arrested and julian assange just case of course was reasoning was that he's not walking out because of fears of being potentially extradited to the u.s. and where obviously treatment of him would be quite questionable given the reactions that have been coming out of washington in terms of the work that we can lease has

been doing in terms of exposing things that the u.s. government has been involved in now here on obviously with this latest appeal the plot thickens especially given that within this last month julian assange was crap granted ecuadorian citizenship which also led people to believe that this would open new potential routes for him to either quire some kind of diplomatic status to be able to leave the embassy and leave the u.k. and other questions about what this could could potentially allow the weekly leaks founder to do now of course it has to be said that throughout these over five and a half years that julian assange has been inside those walls there's been lots of questions raised about whether his detention is arbitrary and that is certainly something that the united nations have found saying that his detention is arbitrary and in violation of international law ecuadorian officials here have been saying time and time again that julian assange obviously can't remain holed up within this embassy forever and that it's an unsustainable situation that he's living and so certainly. these new twists have been unraveling we did expect some kind of

announcement from the judge in london today it seems that is going to be postponed but this decision still whenever it does come is going to be quite crucial in terms of how julian assange and his legal team can work around his situation moving forward ok. thanks for the overview and the update on what's happening so far on julian assange it is a pale thanks. washington has accused turkey of destabilizing northern syria after i'm correlatives extending its military operation closer to positions held by u.s. troops in the region turkey's operation began last week and is targeting kurdish militias some of the groups are considered terrorist by ankara but allies by washington the u.s. state department has described what is happening in northern syria as a shame. people now have to flee an area that was previously considered pretty stable i mean what a shame that is think about all that this country has been through and now we're

looking at another destruction in northwestern syria because turkey has taken its eye off the ball isis and going after the p.k. at this time. the weapons have been provided to the white b.g. by the united states the promises which have never been kept by united states since man beach lately trump statements saying that we won't give any weapons to y p g anymore even as he was saying that we are not giving in last night's telephone conversation created a trust crisis however the phone call between the turkish and american presidents mentioned by anxious foreign minister there has been think differently by the two countries president trump relayed concerns the escalating violence in africa syria risks undercutting our shared goals in syria here to turkey to deescalate limited military actions and avoid civilian casualties. the white house statement about the content of the phone call between trump and was probably drafted before the conversation took place because it did not reflect the truth our washington

correspondents amerikana looks at the deteriorating relations between the two allies no matter how many times washington says encore its ally the reality is far from it as distrust between the two grows stronger u.s. turkish relations are headed south. turkey is an important nato ally we understand fully understand turkey's concerns should go to. america is in the process of creating a terrorist. america do not encroach on a border do not provoke cos we will run outs of patients this has led to consequences on the ground in monday's the turks and the kurds came so close to each other they were almost at each other's throats and then washington literally had to step in to prevent them providing but no lessons learned clearly especially considering the turkish campaign against the kurds in a free right now. don't

be friends with kurds if you want to keep good relations isn't the only signal washington missed. the coup attempt back in twenty sixteen made things worse there's the local way and turkish cleric living in exile in the us and grow things cool when orchestrated and demands that the us extradite him. and recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital didn't do their relations any good either and it even created an opening for air to want to grab the throne as leader of the muslim world to assistance to wash. look good out of. why you backing israel whether it's ok patient torture and terrorism is that what you were defending one would think that the us would take the theory of their ally into consideration before making any rash decisions but instead of treading carefully washington to cut aid to all of the countries opposed to the jerusalem solution the most

important problem between that stares and talk is that is that there is no you know nobody you know trusts their other one this is the main problem for tricky especially to talk to people on government never rely on never trust in. you not to stress and especially in those issues. so whether this is all been delivered or not washington has only been tangling this not further and further. on this in the us have noticed a quietly made it to the official mission statement of the national security agency online it turns out the words honesty trust and openness and now all gone the old core values used to begin with the word honesty saying that the american people have placed great trust in me and i say and therefore the agency promises to honor bought with openness well now it instead starts with the phrase commitment to service here's how the n.s.a. explain the changes it's nothing more than

a website update that's. the effort to delete words that are that mean a lot to americans such as honesty and transparency and what have you this is something that. is important but if the national security agency's deleting it i think that it means. according to reality. as to just how these intelligence agencies work they are they're not called the deep state for nothing and. the only thing that they did agree that they did keep was the provision of. respect in the law and but but even there they fudge on that. twitter has found no substantial evidence of russian interference during the case twenty sixteen brags that referendum findings have left those looking into alleged russian meddling and pushing for

a further investigation this is how the conversation went between twitter and the head of the inquiry. we found that one percent of the accounts in the data set were rejected in russia could you confirm how many other accounts were being controlled from agencies in russia even if they were not registered there we do not have sufficiently strong evidence to enable us to conclusively link them with russia the failure to obtain straight answers is simply increasing concerns about these issues rather than reassuring people in the richest government isn't happy with the fact that twitter has provided for them and the thrust of choice as message is that one percent of accounts that have been identified as sort of meddling in the e.u. referendum which are registered in russia and this all started when questions were raised late last year about whether russia had perhaps in to ferret in that referendum the problem was that there was no proof to back up these claims of

russian interference online and through social media platforms take a listen to what the foreign secretary boris johnson had to say about alleged russian meddling. is another. i. think of. so with no facts and no evidence this was a topic that had still really snowballed into public consciousness it had drawn a lot of column inches and everybody very interested in it so the government launched an official inquiry into fake news and they all asked the big social media platforms twitter and facebook to provide evidence to them late last year when

twitter and facebook came back to them the government said they weren't happy with what they had come back with a q.'s twitter of stonewalling them and even threatened them with sanctions if they didn't cooperate properly. another social media platform facebook has agreed to dig deeper in an attempt to find links to brag since their initial results show that less than one pound was spent on ads that may have affected voting author and journalist max blumenthal thinks the russian favor doesn't need to realize buttons to cause impact this whole saga of russia gate it really represents an attempt to export russia gate to other countries during the run up to the breaks it's what we heard nothing about russian influence but once russia gate exploded in washington opponents of bragg's it seized on the concept of russian meddling gets enough toxicity in the political bloodstream that it damages their opponents and they don't have time to push back and by the time they disprove that narrative the

damage is already done. and all of korea has called for breakthrough efforts to be made in what the country's leader has called a reunification with the south it comes as an into korea and unpick team has to compete at the upcoming winter games in pyongyang and monks a rare moment of ease tensions on the peninsula after a war of words between the north and north korea and the u.s. eagle and donald takes a closer look at what. a man who couldn't think of anything better than to include a threat of a nuclear winter in his new year's speech and donald trump a man who couldn't think of anything better than to up the ante what ensued might one day come to be known as the battle of buttons. the entire us mainland is within the range of our nuclear strike and the button is always on the table in my office space you clearly know that this is certainly not a threat but rather a reality. please inform him that i too have

a nuclear button but it is much bigger and more powerful one than his and my button works so everyone's beginning to get used to the two way berridge of insults but then unexpectedly kim starts cracking outlines from a very different playbook proposing a joint women's hockey team with south korea at the winter olympics for the first time in history who would have thought then on top of that the north korean leader invites the southern team to train at his luxury ski resort which is also rumored to be his vantage point for observing missile tests and those have reportedly been put on hold the notorious red button is away in the drawer and finally the desperate holds out an olive branch once again calling for the reunification of the peninsula we will courageously smash all of the challenges of the nation's desire for unification that all the koreans rise up in the peace keeping struggle against war to battle the reckless nuclear war moves of the us so what about his adverse

saree half the world away has trump now started trying to out flatter his arch nemesis well actually it seems this switch from war to love caught the american leader of god although he did claim that kim's change of heart was of his making well twice actually. sanctions and other pressures are beginning to have a big impact on north korea rocket man now wants to talk to south korea for the first time does anybody really believe that talks and dialogue would be going on between north and south korea right now if i wasn't strong and willing to commit to meit's against the north and since then for almost a month now nothing on the rocket man from trump i think this is his way of trying to face the my policy or pressure is having an effect bringing reality of the policy or pressure as though it had only made this more difficult to come into play and had to the later that would have happened mark threw in or i think without

trump in the picture and unfortunately i think it was only a temporary warming from the united states because due to the specific case of it being the olympics was sort of a special case. united states is announce we're going to conduct the usual war exercises immediately after the impacts but after all trump has always maintained he can be flexible meaning that he can go from foe to friend with his north korean counterpart just like that so why the silence now well perhaps trumps brainstorming a friendly nickname it was done of. still to come a crying threat is being downplayed in germany according to the latest reports tell you all about that after this break. the law of the u.n. the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to do so to try to tell you that because of the public.

doesn't. like. the hawks that we all. want. when lawmakers manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final very go around the lives only the one percent told. us to ignore middle of the room signals.
