after the final decision of the russian athletes was made and the answer was no so it turns out when the court of arbitration for sport came up with a verdict that fully satisfied the i.o.c. nobody wants to reform cas any more while it's a hard hitting interview coming up tomorrow you can see the full version of the interview with the cast secretary-general and earlier throughout the day various times wednesday here on this channel. let's go back to our breaking news for the but afternoon for the wiki leaks co-founder julian assange british court upheld the arrest warrant for him and let's discuss this now with patrick henningsen executive editor for the first century wired dot com gosh i see now but grown for a while my old city plymouth i believe that's where you are today by the looks of it i think to ruin there we wanted to talk about that though we had to talk about julia sunshine about afternoon for him but it was expected was in it. yes it was. no point did the the u.k.
4:31 pm
judiciary make any signals they were i think going to drop the arrest warrant so i think from this proceedings today it's become clear now the sort of the games up with for release of the emails from the crown prosecution service is showing that there was collusion between the c.p.s. and the swedish judiciary to sort of keep his case on the rocks even though sweden could have dropped the case for five years ago so that is now out in the open so clearly what we have here is not anything to do with legality this is completely political just room i mean as you say just such a long complicated case reviews take in and for me as well sweden a co suspended its investigation last year because there was a worry that he'd be extradited you know go to sweden then on to america if they wanted him or not but they've actually physically said they would especially now
4:32 pm
trump said that we can it's a good thing heaven knows what would happen but you think britain had some say the thai and he had no it's proven that they they did so sweden was ready to drop the case many years ago and the c.p.s. intervened probably on behalf of the foreign and commonwealth office no doubt who is acting on behalf of the united states government so join us on she is being held on a flimsy. charge of having skipped bail but the provenance of the arrest warrant in the u.k. is now disappeared because the reason there is no case in sweden as you pointed out hasn't been for two years so what's the motivation for the u.k. to do this. i personally think we're looking at a situation here where the u.k. is effectively a sockpuppet with washington is the hand inside it can be you know their
4:33 pm
explanation they said that this is in the public interest and so forth at the hearing today i can't see how they can prove that it's in the public interest having spent four million pounds on security around the ecuadorian embassy to make sure though that julian assange is doesn't make a run for it and even now knows this is dragged on so long it's gone from the obama administration into the trumpet ministration and trying but one stage anyway it's been almost supported a wiki leaks and again the u.s. is now actually physically gone on record to say wants to extradite him is it time has just moved on as far as everyone's concerned should britain be taking that into account maybe if what you say is true. well the u.k. and foreign foreign and commonwealth office said they can neither confirm nor deny that the united states has put in an extradition request for julia songe which means that they have whenever that statement is issued like that it's a soft confirmation that there is an arrest warrant they say they don't want to
4:34 pm
make it public not to quote tip julian songe off which is kind of ridiculous but so the u.k. is basically working with the united states initially to keep him under arbitrary detention in the ecuadorian embassy and now he's he has no choice but to stay put where he is they have to respect his diplomatic asylum there so really it's a waiting game until this government or leadership in this government can come clean and say no this is unlawful this is a violation of his human rights so this is this is in violation of international norms if you consider the u.n. working group has already deemed this. unlawful arbitrary detention as a way that you know they're covering up the crimes of the state. in the u.k. much appreciated patrick henning's executive editor of twenty first wired dot com.

international in picotee is another situation of its hands in korea as reports of merger the i.o.c. has told the us female ice hockey team to remove the image of the statue of liberty from their helmets the rules state that no political symbols can be displayed on athletes uniforms or the reports that lady liberty was being given the cold shoulder by the i.o.c. quickly made headlines and rage online some media suggesting national flags and anthems that should be removed to others even citing reports suggesting it was the russian president who requested the olympic committee to get the u.s. to remove the image people on twitter echoed the media's criticism of the move some accuse the i.o.c. is biased saying it doesn't mind sponsor money and logos such as the famous nike tick others though question if canada should maybe therefore remove the iconic maple leaf why not its national symbol for its jerseys and equipment if you can to use that train of thought however the i.o.c. later backtracked but it all anyway saying it was
4:36 pm
a misunderstanding and it never asked the u.s. team it said to remove the statue of liberty we discussed this with sports studies and sociology professor ellis cashmore he thinks elite competitions are no more about politics than the sport itself. i do find it absolutely ridiculous that the olympics is now trying to stamp out any kind of reference to nationalism the whole point of the olympics was originally at least in the late nineteenth century when the modern olympics started to bring nations together over the years what has happened is that the olympics have been hijacked in one way or another by political interest groups sometimes whole governments i don't think you can keep politics out of the olympics any more than you can keep politics out of sport generally this whole russian doping business has just escalated and escalated to the point where russians have been eliminated disqualified from competition that is in itself a political decision and we've seen this whole narrative that's been going on for
4:37 pm
a very long time ellis cashmore facebook and google are at risk of losing one of the world's biggest advertisers if they fail to improve news transparency in tackling streamers among their platforms says consumer products giant unilever which goes make some of the biggest brands in food including products it's made the threat of the tech conference monday but the anglo dutch firm has been called out itself in the past with its own misjudge marketing is that hawkins explain same news different day facebook is again in the firing line having faced pressure from governments and activists over failing to root out hate speech racism fake news divisive comments and whatnot this time it's global giant leading the charge even threatening to reduce and withdraw advertising from the social media platform if they don't improve. unilever will not invest in platforms or environments that do
4:38 pm
not protect our children or which create division in society consumers do care about fraudulent practice fake news and russians influencing the us election they do care when they see their brands being placed next to ads funding terror or exploiting children now the message is clear no more deception abuse and controversy and a new era of positivity unity and includes everybody but a closer look at unilever's own p.r. record reveals a contentious history from this infamous dove soap placed on facebook triggering a storm of accusations of racism to fair lovely skin lightening products market across asia spawning allegations of perpetuating racist colonial stereotypes to control the seas with missile journey and sexism culminating in a damning report on chauvinists that marketing.
4:39 pm
officer apologising unilever has said it's now to change its ways it's released new adverts advocating inclusive ety it wants facebook to follow suit or else let's face it though you leave out probably won't drop one of its biggest advertising platforms money talks and the story probably has generated some good p.r. the believe or as any company is primary responsibility is to make money or its shareholders to to turn a profit and sometimes p.r. initiatives like this are part of that they're just an effort to elevate your brand i think it would be difficult for them as a company that makes consumer products to avoid advertising one of the most prominent platforms today but what about the central actor in the whole story. you spoke the platform has shown commitment to the battle against fate can use and
4:40 pm
abuse but the floodgates have now been truly opened on the pressure left right and center supermoto right to send such to sanitise and seems to have buckled under the squeeze well it has made itself very vulnerable because it has made these promises and it's even done some things to try to filter misinformation out of it social network even though they have tried to do things it doesn't appear to be working we're going to see a lot of pressure increasing pressure on facebook at unilever thinks it could fix it by giving putting marketplace pressure on facebook i'm a little bit skeptical that that will actually work facebook is tackling an ever growing list of coals and ultimatums first from politicians and security services now it seems corporations that shipping into facebook spending to dumond's could well. coming up here we look virus that covertly uses your old my computer to illegally mine cryptocurrency is making waves because it's infected

crypto currencies and put those into while it's called american citizens give each have an automatic wallet tied to the social security account and they can get a daily and weekly or monthly air drop points that they can then you stick out of the way the government can easily do that. to you in developments for your polluter investigations found that frozen speed senses may have been behind the crash of a passenger jet in moscow on sunday leaving no survivors the heating system that protects those sensors was switched off partly for some reason during the ill fated flight it was switched on the for the previous fifteen journeys the plane made that was on those data recorders investigators hope now to find out why the heating was turned off as they continue their extensive analysis of the home for its black boxes the tragedy took the lives of seventy one people radio stations recorded the
4:43 pm
erratic flight path of that plane it reached an altitude of nearly two thousand meters before those suddenly plunging to fifteen hundred meters then it regained height again it apparently plummeted once again after that and completely disappeared off radar the last time it was seen on screen was it nine hundred meters. victims of sunday's a crushed moscow be mourned at a vigil outside the capital's main cathedral seventy one candles were lit for each person who died to remind you that plane crashed just minutes after it took off from the city's done whatever airport killing everyone on board was heading to or skirt the time a city near the russian border with. the east. but they truly a. leech think we're going to show what

to our lease. it's nearly one point the other side of the stylist is terrible because there are many others where the surface here ourselves are slightly slightly this. world of roses and stones. in front of thousand people involved in the recovery operation has already covered thirty hector's especially as vehicles are moving smaller pieces of wreckage from their world continues to recover and indeed identify the remains of the victims. a virus that can access your computer and mine cryptocurrency back to hackers is reportedly infected thousands of government websites over the weekend see even affected the u.k.'s data protection watchdog to ironically over the last few days the malware uses a technique known as crypto jacking is why and here is how effectively hijacks
4:46 pm
computers that visit the infected web sites and then covertly mines cryptocurrency using the devices capability if you're in the wires or finally it then sends the mind points back to the hacker and to their online wallet they are supposed to scott helman but with many hero he is the cyber security specialist who broke the news that government websites have been infected with the virus he thinks we're witnessing a new trend in online crime. the rise of crypto jacking is related to the value of crypto currency so as a crypto currency increases in value if you can stimulate or obtain it illegitimately then then your proceeds increase and you know they're worth more we will see the rise of the market so joking that talks like this partially motivated by the increase in the value of crypto currency is compassion also basic right now by the ease with which these attacks can be carried out criminals of use cash for hundreds of years and criminals will move to the next form of currency which is cryptocurrency fortunately this was a quiet a mild example of what the attackers could have done but i think common advice
