could not attend the world cup while their friends have them covered. this world cup has already witnessed its first scandal. has apologized for spying

on the south korean team he sent us scout to austria to keep an eye on the rivals who were actually training at the tournament. and the world cup the spy reportedly tried to convince the koreans he was just a passing tourist but that failed and he was kicked out of the closed training session that he then rented a house near the training base where he studied the team using a high performance telescope and the video camera for the south korea something was up and told all of us players to. confusion here is his take on the incident we switched them because we didn't want to show our opponents everything we wanted to confuse them they might know a few of our players but it's very difficult for westerners to distinguish between asians all managers probably think their opponents always spying on them.

now i made the south korea will face sweden today in. also what monday heavy lift is belgium clash with world cup first time as and today is also a big day for england fans the three lions kick off their world cup adventure in volgograd where they faced. the last encounter between the teams was at the world cup in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight at that time around england one scoring two goals now the match will take place at the volgograd stadium in southern russia.

the england team have gone through some turbulent times recently with a typically poor performances in general or the last and only time they lifted the trophy was in one thousand nine hundred sixty six now two new zero who have qualified for the world cup for the first time since two thousand and six hope to make the best of their return peter all of it has been catching up with fans ahead of the big game in volgograd. it's all of the photo and it's all about football i think i'll bet not going to get to hear we're going to have a little bit of it gave the itineraries england versus tunisia ten. twelve thirty forty fifty six they. have called yesterday or after that what's you know what's it am i not made our best thanks very much you've got to be sixteen i believe five six seven i was. what happens in england game to morrow and when she does you want out

of it by going to be a very tough game but we will in. other words they're not going to go there. live it knows all of the funds being as well behaved in a decent is these behind me unfortunately i did witness so abhorrent behavior by you create this england front straight on salute 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 with them always encouraging good fans to do what the vast majority majority of us do all the time which is just to treat the place with respect you know really impressed with the degree of hospitality go to 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 newspaper called he sells newspapers because the mission in reality i'm here in the middle of the great

revolt government 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 war 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 all the way from bulgaria of all the crimea on the i will say we travelled under the crimea brit. you know 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. there's a few more. it's just the top five of everything around for my own perspective if that's the stadium right there what do you think what is your team for england

tunisia taking place right there what's going to. include three. zero so clearly with anticipation building ahead of the match. as a matter you know made his predictions on the upcoming. england by nature is a bit pessimistic they've dealt 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 europe playing in the best league in the world but that seems to an easy is going to create problems but in the end talent and experience they have to in england. the program in britain's just.

wrong. to shape our.

common ground. to you thanks for joining us at the me. she has raised many questions for example how long can you stare at a coworker before being accused of sexual harassment a long line t.v. show provided netflix apparently knows the. tries to exploit. oh 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 the five second rule if you were to guess what 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 placed 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 netflix yes 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 what sexual harassment really taking a company by the. nonsense that you want to try it sounds like small amount of time but it's actually longer really it. seems ok let's start each other let's do that. like the next miley we could do whatever the big. picture seems 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. i look at each other for longer than five seconds because then it creates like an uncomfortable environment apparently where you are looking at me i'm all right there i don't find uncomfortable. i think it sounds a bit odd that you can't have corporation with anybody and then be afraid of sexual harassment i mean that would just be weird i think it's stupid people work together

and not look at each other. german chancellor angela merkel is facing one of the toughest tests yet i've heard leadership as a rift over refugee policies threatens to actually do coalition government the dispute has put merkel on a collision course with her interior minister a key coalition figure who's been quoted as saying he can no longer work with merkel has been heavily criticised for implementing an open door refugee policy which are seen over a million people pouring into germany since the start of the migrant crisis and twenty fifteen she's faced tough opposition from inside her own cabinet and a recent poll does not bode well for the chancellor either as a growing number of germans say they oppose receiving more migrants in fact sixty two percent of those surveyed agree with the interior minister's plan to turn away and documented migrants at the border while nearly ninety percent say they want

faster deportations of rejected asylum seekers so we went out and gauge the reaction on the streets of berlin. as i hold the find a way to resolve this because it doesn't make any sense. the interior minister is trying to serve the populace when either of them i can 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 parties need to find a way of preventing it right now they are too far apart. some in this sort of falls into your. years and. immediately. months or years to come to look for solution of the imminent causes. to war anglo-american as it's not so the question of weeks or months is a question of days on was how long she my that we translate as

a federal republic what she did in september two thousand and fifteen in opening up the drama on the borders and creating an influx of my good ones this was a situation which was unbelievable and since then we have more than two million people in that country and we don't know who is in the country for hundreds of thousands this is a blow. to your p. and security as for. nearly a year after iraq's most soul was liberated by iraqi and u.s. led forces from islamic state angelina jolie has traveled to the water on city in her capacity her special envoy to the un's refugee agency islamic state took control of most all back in twenty four to holding the city for three long years at liberation campaign launched by iraq with the support of the u.s.

lasted nine months claiming thousands of civilian lives as well as displacing hundreds of thousands. this is the worst devastation i've seen in all my years of community are people have lost everything. and the trauma. and the loss that they have suffered is unparalleled. their sheer. around with very little support next to nothing and they're rebuilding themselves 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 an external.

wrapping up the show for this hour here on r.t. international thanks so much for sharing some of your monday with us here my colleague bringing you more of your top world headlines on the latest scoops from the world cup at the top of the hour.

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 rome the arbitrary detention of julian a son should 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 how the mass movement of people exacerbated by nato wars has precipitated a global reordering of old. life on earth though the civil coming up in today's going on the ground but first england plays today is here today in russia's volgograd arena in the english imagination john 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 seuss'. extraordinary footage of the attack as it took place

you know that confusion and horror. 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. back to the ship the spark well one lately credited was this man seen here on r t interviewing to his years post coup leader mohamed was yuki what do you say about the united states and its role once a leading human rights and. torture committee as president went on to talk about torture under his nato backed dictator previous answer and 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 being so tortured it is julian

assange himself who still remains under arbitrary detention by tourism is government u.n. panel is pushing for the release of wiki leaks founder julian assange he has been claiming asylum and 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 to his ear is him self arbitrarily detained by the british government joining me now is a lawyer for julian assange and jennifer robinson of street chambers jennifer thanks for coming back on why is julian and why is he been arbitrarily detained six years to more this case isn't 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 is only gotten 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 is overdue it is just the british government won't give that guarantee 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 juries ways

record the country of which is julius which is a citizen of australia not much better there a good unfortunately this trailing government did absolutely nothing to assist julian in the early years on a fellow australian 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. you weren't 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 arse's 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 assisting quid or by trying to mediate a resolution to this case because he's been there 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 there while you were there so the a strain is going to get their own citizen back and look after it while it's a very diplomatically sensitive situation there was legal confidentiality to as their request has been a request has been made and it remains to be same what the australian government would 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 like one payer

former head of the cia in a 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 they can do. prevent him from speaking about politics of countries and he's breached that they're in there it's in their right to do that said because as as as a refugee nevertheless and a citizen of ecuador in fact he has the right to free speech he has effectively been 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 has been cut off but would it not be entirely within their group was it right to curtail his freedom because perhaps they were negotiating cia facilities atlanta or basic door which after all my. previous position he ran the cia i know nobody's free speech because of 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 trump administration 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 to innocent has been under for this entire six years that he's been inside that embassy you know i want to get to the legal case separate to. investigation 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 weber's 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 and they do your part 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 doing this under the organization and named in this lawsuit by the dns for left. what is the state of that 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 dean see 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 this committee to protect journalists and a number of free speech organizations have come out in support of wiki leaks positions thing 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 that they could in this case then overturn a supreme court decision a prior one 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 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. legations does as well presumably. still following if we keep leaks itself had a view about hillary clinton when they went about its work in investigating or publishing evidence of perhaps illegality on the part of the n.c. we can exert a thorough 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 and when 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 to raise a may that some sort of guarantee. i mean there have been previous extradition proceedings that haven't gone through the united states wants 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.
