they could in this case then overturn a supreme court decision a prior warning that publishers are not liable for the illegal acts of their sources while 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 in 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 evidence of perhaps illegality on the part of the n.c.

we can exert a tour of policy is such that they publish what they receive provided it's verified the political views of any particular person working for wiki leaks doesn't matter the fact is it's a transparency organization had they received material about president trump they would have published it and to have made that very clear in what he discussed discuss the lakes we've seen them publish material about syria about russia about the united states about saudi arabia their publications of cut across the political spectrum to say that wiki leaks is in any way politicized is i think just wrong it's a they can't they can't determine what they receive and so what is. your client what does or does he want from tereza may them some sort of guarantee. i mean there have been previous extradition proceedings that haven't gone through with united states ones that kind of guarantee it is perfectly acceptable under international law and under common extradition arrangements for the british government to give an assurance against extradition so if he were to leave ecuadorian. effectively

ecuadorian territory the diplomat in and in the embassy where he is and has himself over to the u.k. it is perfectly possible for the british government to give an extradition an assurance against extradition to the united states and that's what could have resolved this case in two thousand and ten and can certainly resolve this case in two thousand and eighteen and there's a demonstration war between six and eight in london there are other demonstrations to mark the six years what is the mental health state of your blood really it's an incredibly difficult situation we've had doctors assess him and say that there is an extreme race to his physical or mental health that calling on the british medical association to put pressure on the british government to ensure that he can have the health care that he needs obviously as being inside the embassy he's not been able to leave to go to hospital or to seek any form in a medical treatment and the british government refuses to allow him to leave for that purpose and they say if he does so it's a very serious situation it's causing him permanent damage and it's time that this is ended and it's within the power of the british government to do so it always has

been and i could end tomorrow if i wanted to jennifer robinson thank you thank you after the break as new figures show that i'm talking to a guy has lost three trillion tons of ice in twenty five years to award winning scientists tell us why the year sixty in turn could mark the beginning of the end of the human race dollars or more coming up about to have going underground. for twenty eighteen coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all but there was one more question by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you're one of us is a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to go meet eighty percent of the problem. and you go over great britain you are the rock at the back no. i think it's possible you we need you to get the ball in going let's

go. alone. and i'm really happy to join the arctic theme for the thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one come on top of the share meets just like the radio the aussie team's latest edition make up a bigger certainly better jersey. get a phone no i don't have one was the last time that you went on the internet no i am not used to these village is it safe to say. i sure there is new music ters there and they are all going to be sure the baby does a class of his that is the. first word on the only source. is dead as part of the ten or so could be.

a. lot more work i was. previously yes and no they are being false form of where he was from the member of the society . he let. them. welcome back in the past seventy two hours the fost food chain mcdonald's has announced that its one thousand three hundred u.k. branches will no longer use plastic straws phasing out one point eight million straws a day but is the move a drop in the ocean given that the world's fourth largest employer stands accused by environmentalists of a range of earth altering activities from deforestation to massive. mental

pollution the activities of multinationals contribute toward some scientists refer to as the under proceed in the era of human domination an error that may spell the end of the only planet in the universe known to support life professor simon lewis and reservoir maslin of the co-authors of the human planet how we created the other person and they join me in there thanks for coming in let's begin mark with what is the sea so many years ago scientists started to realize that we were changing the earth but we haven't realized until the last decade how much we're actually changing it so if we look at the amount of earth or soil that we move remove more than the rest of the natural processes if you think about the amount of concrete we make we can actually have covered the whole of the world two millimeters thick in concrete so all these massive changes and actually what we've realized is that we were entering a new geological period a period that wasn't dominated by plate tectonics or by super volcanoes but

actually by us and so we are now controlling the destiny of the earth and clingfilm the book is full of the exclusion of the last six yes we hate plastic. simon this book dates it to sixty in ten i should say there are lots of ice core data or proofs of this these as well but sixteen tell them what happened in the year so we need to say in terms of the anthropocene that earth is moving to a new state and then we need a marker to say when it began and this marker we think is when different species from different continents started to jump continent as europeans arrived in the americas the first time after fourteen ninety two and one of the things of those movement of species is that diseases were transported and that caused the deaths of around fifty million native americans and those native americans were farmers so those farmers fields that were there across south america grew back and. most of

the tree is carbon so they took carbon out of the atmosphere and we can see that impact in ice cores from antarctica and in sediments and natural data archives of around the world so this provides a moment to say this is the beginning of the end to proceed so when species are mixed and we see a new evolutionary destiny of planet earth and is the last globally cool moment before the warmth of the anthropocene before climate change really kicks in in the early adopters of this. perceived connections with years and so there were particular rush yes so people have had an idea that there's been a human epoch that there's a time when humans dominate the earth and that started off with the brute force in the eighteenth century and he had this idea that it was a human eat pork mainly due to the kind of changes that humans are making to life

so cutting down forests moving plants and animals around for farming and then actually people were using the term the anthropocene in russia after the after the . october revolution in one nine hundred seventeen and we think that's because ideas of change and ideas that were going to change the world politically and economically go hand in hand with thinking that we can change the world environmentally so there was a lot more comfort in discussing those ideas in the early twentieth century in russia and in the east then there was in the west that we've been a bit slow catching up with these ideas but then. as i mean people have commented the veg of the global conference has been going on in the vatican in the burbs you do as you mentioned before organized religion did not like this to proceed very much in in in the early days of geologists saying getting evidence and saying hang on the earth is much older and the time that people have been here will be the worse. related serious things it's only six thousand years

old yes by adding up all the dates in the bible and it's obviously completely absurd you know we know that earth is four point five billion years old and humans arrived very late on the scene if you took the earth's history as an entire day modern humans that look like you and i we appear at four seconds to midnight so we're incredibly recent but we've had enormous impact on the planet so much so that we are now a force of nature like the old forces of nature changing over billions and millions of years we're now changing it today so what we do now matters. surely we've only recently got this kind of full range of data because there were a lot of skeptics lot of scared as skepticism when people would just go it's warmer or since records began britain has got warmer records beginning in the eighteenth century homeport was the that kind of new data to support this sounds pretty good

well i think the most important thing is that the anthropocene goes beyond just climate change it actually looks at all of our impacts and in many ways us discussing climate change for the last twenty five to thirty years has marked the fact that humans are doing huge amounts of damage to the planet as well as changing the climate given example since the industrial revolution we've cut down three trillion trees that's half the trees on the planet just that alone is a huge effect if we look at say land mammals and if we actually weigh them all sixty seven percent in our livestock thirty percent of our humans and only three percent is all those wild animals that of course the b.b.c. in the other t.v. camera crews go follow around so we completely changed the make up of mammals on land but we've sort of forgotten about this and it's only now that we're looking at it in toto that we can see our huge impact on the earth which is the same as

changing into a new geological period and this is industrial capitalism i mean you say it was the primary force so in the book we describe that there are five major periods of human society the first one the hunter gatherers second one then is the agricultural revolution third is the mercantile capitalists who then rediscovered south america and caused genocide their industrial revolution occurs and then the last one is actually cap is consumer capitalism which occurs after the second world war and it's that consumer capitalism that's really accelerated all these environmental issues and actually now running out of. oh and this legacy of inquiry of norm pejorative way of colonialism and discovery the age of discovery very important and you alluded to it earlier when it came to the extinction of native american corporate extinction of native american life and you know space so what happened in

the sixteenth century is that europeans bred a crop across the oceans and created the first global circuit of trade and the first kind of you could see it as a global empire and from there we then moved through the discovery of enormous fossil fuel reserves and the ability to use those which again then spread worldwide as we see in china today and then finally a new reorganization of the world after the second world war to be able to increase that productivity and increase the consumption and that's the problem we have today is that we're producing three hundred million tonnes of plastic each year and their way of seeing plastic in all the oceans and we're seeing in micro fibers in in the drinking water and enough food and you know these things come back to

rebalance so we argue in the book is that actually this constant increase in the amount of productivity and the amount of consumption globally can't continue without serious repercussions and in the end some kind of societal collapse there are various saviors towards the end of the book possible xavier's actually you mentioned donald trump could be a savior as we can provide protection is to is now involved in the trade war fifty billions of tariffs on the chinese goods protectionism is that one of the other three that's not as strong as the other ones that you i don't think. what we need is we're a globally interconnected culture. set of cultures and that global interconnection means that we can help each other around it makes sense to farm the foods that grow best in the places they do so we don't cut down rain forest just because. there isn't a good place to grow food that we can grow it elsewhere and move it to the places

where we need it so actually actually in terms of energy and information which we think of the ultimate drivers of contemporary society actually we need technology from the global north to go to places like. india to allow them to leapfrog the fossil fuel age and go straight to renewables go to straight to green clean technology to produce the energy that those people need and to change those consumption habits so that people get what they need but without the environmental impact we just mentioned the shift in different stages including the immediate return of them together a system so people are going to be surprised maybe not germany corbin's labor party but how you can return to that through a very modern idea where you talked about all the time in think tanks around the world a universal basic income were the key thing is trying to break the consumption cycle and the key thing is that everybody is trying to actually work as many hours as

they can to generate as much money as possible to increase their life and increase the wealth of their children and that's great but it becomes this sort of self-fulfilling prophecy which is i've worked so hard so i deserve a new phone or a new deserve a new car or actually my neighbors have something and even nicer car i've got to have that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy but it doesn't make it any happier i'm not any happier even though i'm more wealthier than my parents were and so the interesting thing is that if you start to think about what is the basic needs for most people which is shelter food and a little bit extra so they can sustain themselves and that's what university culture what of course you have to have culture and again but that also allows you if you stop worrying about money and have a safety net you can do some really interesting things were. culture because you can look after your elderly relatives without worrying about whether you're going

to feed yourself or your kids you can actually become an entrepreneur and go i'm going to risk everything for the next five years seeing if i can make the next billion dollar company but guess what i don't have to worry about feeding myself because i have that safety net so it's a really interesting idea that allows people to be creative more artistic consume less but at the same time actually add a lot into culture and society so should we give up on the g.d.p. growth as a measure of the success of a society the important thing about universe or basic income which feeds into the growth argument is is that it gives people control. so it allows them to take some opportunities that usually lie out of reach and it also give them opportunities they know for example to be environmentally damaging work and if people would have the impetus to go work for whatever work they can get then people have more control about what's produce and therefore was consumed about would change growth and that

would change the dynamics of always going for more and more g.d.p. even though much of this g.d.p. growth might be repairing massive environmental damage and is so is not a net benefit to humanity as a whole present in the present thank you both that's it for the show we're back on wednesday world refugee day till then people talked with us about social media we'll see on wednesday wolf tones but they have one hundred eighteen years to the day violet that you can learn you'll be head to one movement for u.s. marines in beijing's books are about. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair think the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found

innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no way that doesn't mean that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want to that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite we've been through this this isn't the way.

it was a. good. day for the world cup proved to be a shocker with switzerland holding giants brazil to a draw in mexico defeating reigning champions germany ultimately sending fans into iraq which was. bleak. monday is a big day for england with the three lions taking on two new volgograd ahead of them. both teams to the test. it's all the pub phone it's all about football

i think up to it we're going to have a little bit of a get the idea here is going with us to new zealand to go. sixty five six seven. in other stories here when the international coalition cracks why don't enjoy many goals interior minister is quoted as saying he can no longer work with. the monday morning a worldwide news headlines live from moscow and of course strolled latest footy action right here on r.t. international.

so three russian host cities are gearing up for world cup clashes today sunday's games left many fans stunned none more so than fans of germany and brazil joe zamudio and peter schmeichel break down the action in our studio in the heart of. the costa rica school their one nil and it was a terrific free think think. think think think think think think some are. mexico with fantastic they face rising so quickly did i cause too many all sorts of problems for sure found a way to play against germany thanks and. i think it's doing this very thing. you're going to school and seventy gold.

tipped by many people to be a world cup star and in his first game scoring this goal but he was exploiting the i mean is that the sense that they did offend incredibly i mean i've never seen germany play they lacked so much imagination the longer the game went on the more desperate germany became and they were trying to win the ball back and the mexican players very very clever in the way he defended chefs he was outside the stadium today on a machine caught up with a few of these mexican fans and psyching at the atmosphere saying. i don't. jubilant mexicans not only they essentially outnumbered the german fans maybe three to one they were also maybe five times louder in the stadium itself.

so the atmosphere coming from the mexican fans was absolutely surreal the mexican fans camped out in moscow for the past four or five days very much jubilant some of that was climbing on top of trucks and dancing and singing also looked like a costume party some brett rowse wrestling masks different national costumes and all such we've seen them all today here and in abundance as well. i think we should feel sorry for one german fans he didn't change the the office of the boarding a plane and flying into russia that's a russian if you travel two thousand kilometers all the way from students on the track so music and the money from the road arriving in perfect time for the match a comedy prize dog only to see the scene lose to mexico and what we have to say was a very very disappointing to him and performance here's

a look at is doing. is i'm seventy years old going to trek series the use of the transport would be too easy to do and nothing to do with the country. but me so you need to be very expensive on the roof physically visit filling me taking this is such a serious. if you. if you. of to really feel sorry for this family so if you are in or around moscow you see

a guy an attractive you know stop and give him a ha i think you deserve. a strong signal sensual because the thing i got brazil off to right start him is a terrific strike from him safe and it's a strike that we sing a middleman quite often isn't it and just talk us through this one jason of ties. before. the show and these. show that she was. useful because of a sick show and impossible for a form of jewel to go for it and. i don't think it's a drama for these big teams not to win the first match when i was in jena doesn't wind in doesn't mean portugal doesn't win of how. well germany do resume doesn't mean i don't think it's

a dremel for them as. i think they all know they're going to win. it's probably good for them to put their feet on the ground and these probably also would form. for their country and also to keep to keep calm but obviously big football nations lots of expectations critics will come. up my profile of have been the butt of the profiles that. i'm strong he needed to get and i think they all will qualify and the best of these top teams will see them. as switzerland. yes threshold. they don't have but the people will slowly show us to let me feel this is me for the solace of some of the far. better than the sum of these rituals and in football this possible

that these dreams. can be. six times possible. ten times is possible three to get three draws. and this is a real difference i don't see how the swiss fans are doing and rough stuff. these days in red are absolutely psyched and they're telling me that this straw is like a victory for them here. already lost my voice we had a really good game this like it winning the championship already the first day. there will have to be a break in some in rostov brazilian fans are telling me that they don't understand how a reward able to defeat switzerland in the first game of the world cup match was

very very bad stress you didn't play very hour in the second half go for all switzerland was not. was not allowed the and now we have to wake up but after what i saw earlier on sunday i'm sure that the fans of she will go but i will get back to party mode very quickly. because. we're in rostov on don southern russia but i'll tell you why today this place feels more like the copacabana beach in rio perhaps but as the exec could be a young does it feel like rush hour more like brazil the. this is more like brazil i know but these wonderful time wonderful people we love to be here in russia showed that's good have fun does it feel like russia or brazil here now that's

totally brazil here maybe it's warm everyone having a good time some it's brazil in russia right now. how the us years now both feel like this. pretty box under the place. well finally i can see that at this point fans are trying to catch up as well have a log. house here in rostov on don how are you feeling here it's very nice and the people are very nice to us here us like a family their football family you know we're focused family. of them. this is a good one the.
