the england team have gone through turbulent times recently with poor performances generally at sort of months the last and only time they lifted the trophy was a nineteen sixty six. who have qualified for the world cup for the first time since two thousand and six hope to make the best of. a peter all of a has been catching up with fans ahead of the big game involving. it's all of the

phone it's all about football i think up it not going to get to hear we're going to have a little bit of the game the idea is england versus tunisia two three zero zero five six seven eight nine ten. twelve thirty forty fifty sixty eight members of the new i have called yesterday were often at once you never see them made out best thanks very much you've got to be sixteen i believe ball to the eight ball five six seven i was. what happens in england game to morrow england she does you want out of it but it got to be very tough game but we will win you know the most they're not going. to let it know all of the fun stuff being as well behaved in a decent is these behind me unfortunately i did with the soak up horrid behavior by you could even england's fun straight on salit being thrown up as well as songs that really cannot be repeated but i spoke to the chief executive of the england

fans federation about them about what happened there i want to go and funds should be doing well here in russia we've always encouraging good funds to do what the vast majority majority of us do all the time which is just to treat the place with respect you're really impressed with the degree of hospitality we've got here every told him and there's always a media story about most of the experience trouble is a bit immune to that sort of thing that would be exciting news paper called he sells newspapers because the mission in reality i'm here in the middle of the great revolt going up on me on during around the marina here i've come across something of a familiar sight on one of the yachts. not just an english flag but also an englishman graeme conceit permission to come of oh it's a permission granted let's. don't end up in the water you've been doing a little bit something special for the world cup tell us about the well we've sowed all the way here from gary and it took us thirty six days. to get pulled away from

the crimea in the eyes of say we traveled on the crimea bridge. one day before mr putin you've provided a bit of something for those like myself who are even if the first time yeah we've written a small guide called the englishman in volgograd because usually on the only englishman you. know there's a few more and. it's just the top five of everything around from my own perspective if that's the stadium right there what do you think what is your take for england taking place right there what's going to. england three. zero. now in the lead up to slow the truck was one of the fake woods that came between russia and the united kingdom now sold for employees things about to get away from the the world cup experience. what we have got here in volgograd is a cocktail called the no that you know. how is

that. how this doctor is called the antidote to it i'm not sure how much you announce it out it is i'm not sure how much this is going to affect how they see evening runs into the game against the newseum. are you ok. with anticipation building ahead of the big match. i mean you know making his predictions on the upcoming. even by nature is a bit pessimistic they doll them up themselves they're not very confident they have huge pressure on their back. is not the same level in the world of some of the best players in in utah being in the best league in the world but that seems good news

is going to create them some little problems but in the end talent and experience they have to in england. and we are back with more after a short. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. one else seemed wrong we all just don't. get to say power just becomes the ticket and in determining equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. thanks joining us for the program here the meat to controversy has raised many questions for example how long can you stab at a coworker before being accused of sexual harassment online t.v. show provided netflix apparently has the answer as a tease and i see a truck and tries to explain.

oh sorry i didn't mean to sexually harass you netflix have reportedly introduced a policy advise in their employees not to stare at each other for longer than five seconds this has neither been confirmed nor denied by the company but the general idea is allegedly inspired by the me too movement to avoid sexual harassment in the workplace according to netflix employees quoted by the press this five second staring back as part of a package of no lingering hugs no asking for phone numbers and no flirting we're proud of the end to your usman training we offer to our productions we want every netflix production to be a safe and respectful working environment but do you think about when you think about the five second rule i have no idea what five second rule if you were to take a guess would you think it would be about i can eat something after i fall after after i drop it on the floor but only before it's place there for five seconds we have a three second rule in norway so we have what you have to have three seconds between

your car and the next car. in time really you guys were talking today urging people about netflix you know never play again ok so they have reportedly introduced this new policy where they're after people who work with them to not stare at each other for longer than five seconds. told one sexual harassment really ridiculous company that nonsense that you want to try to sound like small about it but it's actually longer really exciting. seems ok let's start each other let's do that. like the next miley we could do whatever if it can. seem somewhat counterproductive in every single way seems a bit stupid really. just looking at people isn't sexual harassment if you and i work together we can. because then it creates like an uncomfortable environment.

look at me i'm all right now i don't. i think it sounds. that you can't have any and then be afraid of sexual harassment i mean that would be weird i think. people work together. german chancellor angela merkel is facing one of the toughest tests yet of her leadership as a rift over refugee policies threatens to derail her coalition government but the dispute has put merkel on a collision course with her interior minister who has been quoted as saying he can no longer work with her michael has been heavily criticized for implementing an open door refugee policy which is seen over a million people pouring into germany since the start of the migrant crisis and twenty fifteen she has faced tough opposition from inside her own cabinet and a recent poll does not bode well for the chances are either as a growing number of job and say they oppose receiving more migrants sixty two

percent of those surveyed agree with the interior minister's plan to turn away undocumented migrants at the border on the lead ninety percent say they want to foster deportations of rejected asylum seekers so we gauge reaction on the streets of berlin. i hope they find a way to resolve this because it doesn't make any sense if. the interior minister is trying to serve the populace wave the mike in crisis but angela merkel stance on this issue has been very courageous and she shouldn't back down now. we could see more elections so the coalition need to find a way of preventing it right now they are too far apart. as the minister for the into your. new years and his proposals immediately we don't have months or years to come to look for solution of this imminent causes

what the situation. america is it's not so question of weeks or months is a question of days or hours how long we translate so for the public what she did in. two thousand and fifteen opening up the drama in borders and creating an influx of my governance this was the situation which was unbelievable and since then we have more than two million people in the country and we don't know who is in the country for hundreds of thousands this is a blow. to your peace and security as for. nearly a year after iraq's most school was liberated by iraqi and u.s. led forces from islamic state angelina jolie has traveled to the water on city in

her capacity has a special envoy to the un's refugee agency islamic state control of mosul the twenty fourth holding on to the city for three long years a liberation campaign launched by iraq with the support of the us lasted nine months and claimed thousands of civilian lives as well as just placing hundreds of thousands. this is the worst devastation i've seen in all my years of community are these people have lost everything. and the trauma and the loss that they have suffered is unparalleled. their sheer on their own with very little support next to nothing and they're rebuilding

them selves with their bare hands they're moving the rubble with their bare hands and their bodies in this rubble that stay here. and you can smell the bodies. and there's unexploded ordinance. community. thanks for sharing your time with us here at aussie international we are back at the top of the hour with more of your top stories. this is says harlan kentucky the. oldest moved from boise people going to st fanny's remainders.

a co money city it was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal mines a said. that it was a laugh to see these people as survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that.

time after time three on bloomsday we're going underground on day three of russia twenty eighteen in the day british trade unionists rally to mark the battle of all grieve between workers and police coming on the show ahead of tomorrow's u.n. meeting in geneva arbitrary detention of julian assange we ask his lawyer jennifer robinson of australia will rescue its citizens as this week marks six years of his incarceration in the ecuadorian embassy in london and forty eight hours ahead of world refugee day two award winning scientist explain other mass movements of people exacerbated by nature wars has precipitated a global we ordering of all life on earth all the simple coming up in today's going underground but first england plays to an easier today in russia's volgograd arena in the english imagination june is here still conjures up images of horror when

three years ago nearly to the day thirty eight people thirty of them british were killed in a resort in sousse. extraordinary footage of the attack as it took place you know their confusion and horror some cold and what was left unfolding in british media was the rise in terrorism arguably catalyzed by the british war on neighboring libya supported by u.k. prime minister theresa may but britain has other connections to the recent history of tunisia the north african nation only recently overthrew its u.s. backed dictatorship the spark well one lately credited was this man seen here on our t.v. interviewing to his years post coup leader mohamed was yuki what do you say about the united states and its role once leading human rights and now. engaged in torture committee as president went on. to talk about torture back dictator predicts a sort of course many people believe wiki leaks publication of classified u.s.

cables detailing the crimes of washington's arab proxies helped to begin the arab spring but today it is not the people of tunisia beings or tortured it is julian assange himself who still remains on the rubber tree detention by tourism is government a un here now is pushing for the release of wiki leaks founder julian assange he has been claiming asylum in london the ecuadorian embassy has twenty twelve well tomorrow marks six years of a songes confinement in london the wiki leaks founder arguably did so much to free the people of england's football opponents today tunisia is him self arbitrarily detained by the british government joining me now is a lawyer for julian assange and jennifer robinson of dodgy street chambers jennifer thanks for coming back why is julian. arbitrarily detained six years to more this case is and has always been about the risk of extradition to the united states to face prosecution for his publishing activities with wiki leaks he walked into the embassy six years ago tomorrow to seek asylum on the basis that the u.k.

and sweden refused to give assurances against extradition to the u.s. now that risk has only got worse we've seen since the trump of ministration come to power the former director of the cia now secretary of state compare say wiki leaks is a hostile non-state intelligence agency and that they would take them down and that he should not benefit from the constitutional protections under the first amendment soon after jeff sessions the attorney general said that prosecuting wiki leaks was a priority so his concern about being extradited to the u.s. remains and that is why he stays inside the embassy it has nothing to do it is just the british government won't give the go and that's right this we didn't even some go to the british government will not give any guarantees so the swedish case was dropped which was the purported basis for arresting him in the first place was dropped in may of last year still he remains inside the embassy so anyone who suggested that he was hiding from swedish extradition simply got it wrong it was always about the united states. and the british government continues to refuse to give the assurance that we need and that ecuador needs in line with the protection

that was granted him in granting him asylum to ensure that he could leave the embassy but the moment was given he could leave so if we move on from drazen ways record to the country of which is julian assange is a citizen of australia not much better there a good unfortunately the australian government did absolutely nothing to assist julian in the early years on a fellow a straight in citizen and in those early days when he was first arrested and we were concerned about the risk of extradition we were continually asking the australian government to engage and to ask the us for sure for an assurance that he would not be sent there and assurance from sweden that he would be sent there and the israeli government refused to do it and it was because of the israeli government's failure to step up and protect its citizen that he was forced to seek asylum from ecuador now just this week last week actually there was the first visit that joined us heard from un didn't have the embassy with us from the high commission for australia i was there because in the past three months julian has been cut off from the internet and from visitors at the moment he is prevented from

accessing the internet telephone calls visitors other than asses his legal ticking he's effectively in solitary confinement no phone calls nothing so he's completely cut off and that's been going on for a number of months now which was an already difficult situation so it's the first time that he's reached out to the australian government to seek assistance what we would like to see is the australian government step forward and a sister quit or by trying to mediate a resolution to this case because he's been in that six years in breach of a un ruling finding that he's obviously detained calling for him to be released and given compensation and it's costing the british taxpayer millions of pounds twenty two million pounds it's estimated this cost to police the embassy since he's been in there while you were there so obvious trains going to get their own citizen back and look after well it's a very diplomatically sensitive situation there was legal confidentiality to us about their request has been a request has been made and it remains to be same what this. i think government will do but in circumstances where australia has a seat on the human rights council that a human or

a un special mechanism has found that he ought to be released but they have an obligation to provide diplomatic protection to a citizen it's time for australia to step forward ok you mentioned michael imperioli former head of the cia and secretary of state who's famously trump said that he loved wiki leaks it's no guarantee as well as you see the prospects for your client's freedom that's right tom did say i love wiki leaks during the election of course wiki leaks released material that showed corruption within the d.n.c. party that suited him at the particular time but it's the administration the d.o.j. of the cia and the deep state intelligence agencies who have been embarrassed by wiki leaks publications and embarrassed by the work that joined us on has done and we believe that that's why they are pushing for his prosecution the new president record all of them or email or say about this cutting of communication that the conditions of his prevent him from speaking about politics of countries and he's breached that they're in there it's in their right to do so because as as as

a refugee nevertheless and a citizen of ecuador in fact he has the right to free speech he is effectively being cut off from the internet because they didn't like the tweets he was making about catalonia now that you've got one of the most famous free speech activists and editors and publishers inside of your embassy it's of course you must expect that he's going to exercise his free speech and in breach of the ecuadorian constitution he's been cut off but would it not be entirely within their rights to curtail his freedom because perhaps they were negotiating cia facilities atlanta or basic door which after all my. previous position he ran the no nobody's free speech should be cut off without legal remedy and without legal recourse ok so. names of visitors mine included not his legal team strangely were leaked to papers it was all over the british papers here what was behind that we've that come from people who visited and met with julian

assange well we understand that the material has been late by a security company that had been contracted by ecuador to provide security to the embassy it's hard to know why it's coming out now but there are course many conspiracy theories that are trying to connect wiki leaks to russia connect wiki leaks to the trumpet ministration and the publications during the election and that list is being used towards that end but of course even the f.b.i. director said in his evidence to the house committee that there is no direct evidence of any connection so i think it's an interesting timing that this material is coming out and certainly what the logs show and what the video footage and video still shows the extent of surveillance that join us and has been under for this entire six years that he's been inside that embassy you know i want to get to the legal cases. investigations do you see this i mean you're a human rights barrister do you see this is very at its core the politicization of human rights because rafael correa said washington would have to ecuador open a door an intelligence base or weapons base in miami before he was going to allow

the cia into ecuador things changed because of the politics of ecuador things have definitely changed the political position taken by the new government under president but in your eyes significantly difficult to for president correa of course there have signed a security deal with the united states in the g.o.p. politics of the region have shifted significantly but let's not forget that ecuador is a small country that took a very principled decision and the right decision to grant join us and asylum when they did and they have come under significant political pressure for having done so and no turnings of this bizarre case when it was first released people are to look at it twice donald trump russia the russian federation and during the songes organization and named in this lawsuit by the dns for left. what is the state of the case and is entering discovery phase are we going to get documents out of hillary clinton's campaign the proceedings have been filed but they haven't been as we understand served or any active steps have been taken but what's extraordinary

about this case is the democratic national party a political party that says it stands for free speech is pursuing a case in particular in relation to wiki leaks that has widespread ramifications for free speech what this would mean if they're successful in this suit is the d.n.c. all the republicans or any other political party could sue any media organization whether it's wiki leaks the new york times or any other for publishing internal material that's late during the course of an election they say it's trade secrets now this is a fundamental assault not just on free speech but on democracy as we understand it and that the d.n.c. would pursue this kind of case is unthinkable and demonstrates the political climate in the united states the moment but in good news the committee to protect journalists and a number of free speech organizations have come out in support of wiki leaks positions saying that if this suit goes forward it sets a terrible precedent for all media and in fact i think it's it's surprising that the d.n.c. would take this position it could at least with respect to wiki leaks i think they

could in this case then overturn a supreme court decision or prior warning that publishers are not liable for the illegal acts of their sources well it remains to be seen whether the case will go forward at all it's very unlikely that a civil case of this nature will go forward in circumstances where there's a criminal investigation of miller investigation is of course ongoing many are speculating as to whether this is a legitimate case or whether it's simply a political document and a political move as part of the d.n.c. is efforts to place the blame of the loss of the election the u.s. election at the feet of others rather than the fact that they didn't run a good campaign and so it remains the same what will happen but if it does go forward it poses a serious threat to free speech and i should say president trump denies the allegations president vladimir putin denies the allegations does as well presumably . still following if we keep leaks itself had a view about hillary clinton when they went about its work in the investigating or publishing.
