4:07 pm
diplomatic cables which celebs war crimes and human rights violations now of course all this comes in the light of those reports about negotiations between the ecuadorian government and the british government to come to some sort of conclusion to bring this matter to an end the u.k. government has denied that this issue specifically was discussed during president rose recent visit to the u.k. but they have confirmed that negotiations have generally taken place and are continuing to take place to resolve the matter lamoriello himself it has to be said it's not a big fan of assad she's criticized him describing him as a stoner in the shoe as a hacker while you labeled as an inherited problem inherited because of course it was granted asylum under the presidency of rafael air now though from with this administration it has been far from smooth sailing for the whistleblower for a person to stay confined like that for so long is tantamount to human rights

4:11 pm
not resolve this and case but i think he's right to be worried about being extradited on with the united states where his organization wiki leaks has already been categorized by michael pompei or as a hostile intelligence agency where politicians been calling for his assassination for the death penalty for the rest of his life in prison and all for publishing just as any other media organization publishes so i think the concern is what the british will do and of course the british government isn't also a very difficult position with practice it they can't afford to annoy their american cousins too much at this juncture of british history so it's a bit of a mess every which way. the u.n. susan rice chief is the west african nation of cameroon to investigate alleged abuses by the country's armed forces and comes after video emerged of what appears to be the extrajudicial execution two women and two infants a number of rights groups have confirmed the military was responsible for the atrocity i must warn you you may find this video obtained by the intercept
