4:00 pm
this is. the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that it has known that as the i intend to include at tuesday's yeah i don't think. it's both.
4:01 pm
a and. right we're all set to start in five. year has a signal. he's not going to talk about. just me right after the arse explorers one knew that would have their. back. to say. i am. out there let's. call them to sophie and tell i'm selfish eric not said today we're got lots to talk about in our program and our gas. good luck that.

4:03 pm
still pretty. cheap. thank you. thank you. thank. you. so borders of julian assange have been on pins and needles this week after reports surfaced that the clock is indeed ticking down on the wiki leaks founder is time inside the ecuadorian embassy after the new president of ecuador levon marino implied as much as so much has been living inside the embassy since seeking political asylum back on june nineteenth two thousand and twelve that's over twenty two hundred days rumors abound that if expelled from the embassy a songe could be arrested by u.k. police for skipping bail on a now drop swedish sexual assault charge and probably extradited to the united
4:04 pm
states to face long rumored charges on indictments earlier we were joined by a long time supporter of a sondre and wiki leaks activist and comedian randy credico. randy always a pleasure to have you on i want to start by asking where do things currently stand with with the possible impending expulsion of julian assange from the ecuadorian embassy you know are we truly at the any day any hour any minute point. well it seemed like that last week when president clinton was in spain and england and he made a couple of statements to the spanish press about we've got to do something right away it got a lot of us worried there is a growing movement out there right now there are demonstrations people are coalescing in support of julian as sons and all over social media and i think lynn them out and know saw all of that and he's in a very tough position he can either mollify the brits and mollify the u.s.
4:05 pm
or he could just be you know one of these guys that stands up rather than being liked but tista he'll be seen like a butt tista or a trujillo or somoza if in fact he would have turned julian assigned over so it's really not in his interests in terms of his legacy to do this and he'll be the scorn of south america he's got one card to play to maintain his dignity and that is not giving julian a signs over but you know i don't know there's a lot of pressure being exerted on him by the u.s. state department by the british government they have a lot of dirty laundry they don't want to get out that assad it may have his hands on i don't know what it is but you know and what's going to happen but the ecuadoran president under a lot of pressure a so far has not turned him over they put out
4:06 pm
a statement today saying it's got to be negotiated but eventually he's got to get out of there he can't i mean right now it's like one hundred degrees a london there's no air conditioning in that embassy and it's a very tough situation for him i can imagine are going to madrid know randi no one knows but a lot of people are assuming that if he is forced out of the embassy that that jillian and it will be at thirty and to the u.s. as one of his. you have been one of his most ardent supporters what do you feel is the most egregious act fact of this thread an area of him being kicked out of the embassy like that for extradition well if he's kicked out for extradition first of all he'll be debriefed he'll be put away by the brits may not have access to his lawyers he's got one of the greatest legal teams in the history of the human race at his disposal so there would be a big tug of war and england if in fact there is an arrest warrant on signs from
4:07 pm
the u.s. government is there one is it a bluff i don't know nobody knows for sure i've heard both sides of the coin and what would happen if he were to be extradited to the us it would be a very bad precedent and the biggest problem here is is that the mainstream media is not circling the wagons they're circling the firing squads on the signs this in the end is a is basically mass suicide they're committing by not supporting assad they must support him just to protect their own and many of these journalists of course are on corporate payrolls or on government payrolls we're talking about the mainstream media but at the end of the day they will be next if a science is brought here and tried under the espionage act but you know it's possible to find a way to do it you know show me the guy and all find a crime that he committed that's that's a kind of. m.o.
4:08 pm
that they're running on another thing is is that the us has a long history of trying to repress dissent particularly with journalists to go back to the alienness sedition acts and seven hundred ninety seven matthew lyon and jenna di a pack they were jailed for criticize and the alienness sedition act people were killed like eliza lovejoy who was against slavery and many others mark twain was under a lot of pressure for criticising the philip. pain war and it's gone on for ever they want to kill the messenger the u.s. government does and during the two red scares haven't journalists were jailed so this this is not unprecedented and i know that this leads me to in my next kind of question is how vital was julian assange has freedom and the fate of wiki leaks for the sanctity of the euro of our u.s. constitution is first amendment and the future of whistleblowers at the end of the day if he goes down if wiki leaks is taken down you know about that's
4:09 pm
a big problem it's a huge terrible message about the state of the first amendment it's a huge that's a fatal blow to the first amendment because if they can find a way to get him they can find a way to get anybody so this is a dire warning to people out there who have not been in support fully in support of julian assigns you better get on board because we're all in the same boat if you're a journalist you'll be next there and maybe tabitha being next who knows maybe even shut tot go get him you know what i am down here when you grow there on that slope you never know and one of the things that's really kind of nerve to makes me think that this could happen this extradition of the you know whatever they're going to charge him with and all it could have been is a you know we're dealing with trump's people which might pump a zero called wiki leaks what was it a spate hostel near newsagency or something like that i mean it's ridiculous these guys yes right a non-state hostile agency something like that. but him and you've got jeff
4:10 pm
sessions you have a neo con cabinet look america and richard nixon said that american america's business is business what it should have said was america's business is war that's what america's business is and so these people their business is war join the signs put some air to war crimes to torture acquisitions. it invasions all of this they don't want that stuff to get out because it's their business and people who are connected to it you see it on television you see these guys you know clapper and brennan in a word and have that into t.v. then you have you have these reporters like delaine ian and chuck todd and the two guys scioto and the cost they're pushing for basically having a war you know what do they want
4:11 pm
a war for and so and so they're going at the response they have been his friend they've been attacking him so like i said these guys have an interest out there we want to continue look at adam schiff in congress he gets money from this russian not russian but a ukrainian arms dealer by the name of igor pasternak a lot of money and forty percent of is donors are from the military industrial complex they have a vested interest all of these people most of them were moved over and assad's poses a threat sons and whistleblowers pose a threat to those interests and that's why we need to like i said circle the wagons around julian assad's dislike could be the most important case and a century in this country before a group of. what are they you know what do you think because they've been you know we haven't seen the new york times we haven't seen the washington post who are so
4:12 pm
out a man about press three men so adamant about our amendments and upholding all of our civil liberties at least their own do you believe that any of those corporate outlets will at some point come to chile and defense in this to china i am i do i really do think so i think like i said right there is a was a small drink now it's a growing international movement and supporter julian assigns i've never seen anything like this take. hold it really is big there was a demonstration in front of the ecuadorian embassy in san francisco this wednesday every single day in london people are organizing and the press at the end of the day has got to be fearful if they were to drag this man who has committed no crime at all it's like a guy who's been in prison for twenty years and he gets out on d.n.a. well the d.n.a. here is called the first amendment that's the d.n.a. that should clear him of any wrongdoing he has been one hundred percent accurate
4:13 pm
has not even made one mistake as a journalists he set the high bar for and a lot of journalists are embarrass those who have sold out their embarrass joining us on to set such a high bar and example that they can't even touch they've gone for the easy money and the stardom but they too could be very possible could be victims of this war on the press sees just a first person. you know what you know what's also interesting true is that when you look at the media how much money they've made off of what drew what wiki leaks has provided to them to remember the element to be an enemy but they're always well into taken so right out you know you know exactly if we don't we don't like them but please feed us more thank you leaks you know something about also plays a big deal in the house so i think at the end of the day is that i think they will come around i think the those heads i think immediate will prevail they're still
4:14 pm
going to be a lot of detractors but i'm hoping that those heads do wind up prevailing and said no this is a first amendment issue this isn't a joint massage issue do you think that one has a little of both of you actually were quick as i want to know do you feel like it because this is this there's a certain amount of political pandering going on here obviously do you think that if julian it's time to released donald trump tax returns. do you think valley would be a moment where suddenly they would be like here's a year. oh you're. right there it is really and louis is doing it are not what he's doing it through who is doing it out of and he's doing it for that's a very good point if i have a few minutes to address that because i thought he had i had this car week we had this conversation i told him about a lie to love joy i said you're like oh i love joy who was a a real strong anti-slavery abolitionist publisher eight hundred thirty seven slave power send somebody up into illinois drag him into the missouri river and
4:15 pm
destroy this printing press and then killed him but that didn't stop the press from continuing and i said that's what you are julie got to put yourself it and let's sell that he says wait a second it's a lot worse for me because i have angered everybody he angered these neo-cons of republicans back in two thousand and ten with the afghan and afghan iraq war logs he pissed those people up is due to language and then the liberals or the moderates in the democratic party when he released the the progress the e-mails so he's got everybody because he doesn't take sides he's a publisher he got both sides upset with him so i'm sure if he were to put out trumps any try to get them that's the irony right. you know he tried to get trump's taxes he tried to get it from the guy put him out online so does what a publisher does he publishes interesting information important information and we
4:16 pm
never got that we did get think goodness we got the stuff on hillary clinton and we exposed we exposed the corruption in the democratic party the democratic party is the one that coded in this election the d.n.c. coded and helping donald trump where if it weren't for them if it weren't for them it weren't for the shenanigans in the machinations of the democratic party this would have never happened. as of july thirty first there were at least four major active wildfires in the state of california covering over a quarter of a million acres and most of those fires are currently only between ten and thirty percent contained but while some fires are proving a worthy photo the pasqual fire near san diego was no match for the best of the best firefighters the fire started on friday near the san diego zoo safari park and blistered three hundred sixty five acres coming very close to homes as you can see in this video from ramona california resident brant allen stephens his farm is less than two miles from the of actuations zone thanks to the brilliant flying of these
4:17 pm
pilots of these specially converted commercial wide body jet air tankers that drop water and the pink dyed fire retardant on the ridge near his home in the farms animals and homes in the area of the valley were saved nearest to the folks out there fighting the california wildfires all of you thank you for your service that's going to me i never see the commercial jetliner get led back close to like a farmhouse you know only about that's incredible so that's a that's a mean thing flying that is really good why are they out of the everyone in this world we are told they are above the told you all i love you i am tired old winter and i'm top of the list people are watching those hawks another great day and night everybody. see this is on the kentucky. we always move the
4:18 pm
employees you board rooms three families leave the room. a coma and he says she will miss no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the wiser said. that it was love to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. and i remember thinking. when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here and that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. is a. church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic
4:19 pm
solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moved him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that i know that's not the best yet and then i can flip out at tuesday's out in. this. case both. are. lying but i'm going to. go on it i think if. you want me to. know something. thank.
4:20 pm
god there was. an independent investigation increases weapons found and former is one of the strong polls in syria back to western manufacturers. media reports reveal the manchester arena. bomber was rescued from war stricken libya by the british navy in two thousand and fourteen three years before he carried out the atrocity. and europe's migrant crisis spain takes new emergency measures to control the flow of refugees well a charity in italy claims migrant children are being sexually abused. the man offered to help and said he would shelter me in exchange for sexual services been alone with my father's friend who before continuing the journey subjected me to reach you and abuse me. also this hour
4:21 pm
a special report from japan and the korean community there the rise of the far right has driven people to disguise their culture and sympathy for the reclusive north. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow thanks for joining us. batches of weapons discovered in the former terrorist stronghold of eastern aleppo in syria have been traced back to western manufacturers we're now and war correspondent robert fisk identifying their origins through their serial numbers and then try to find out how those weapons had ended up in the hands of his lawless rebels more details from. this is a weapons factory located in bosnia most likely you have never heard of it but it's here that the weapons were manufactured for one of the bloodiest battles in syria lots of homes were destroyed and lots of civilians were killed in western aleppo by
4:22 pm
those questionable rebels. we got it almost exactly eight o'clock in the morning and it happened at the worst possible time just as thousands of children would go into school the first shell actually came in between these buildings you know that then the children were on their way to school when a mortar shell landed. a few of them were killed i knew them they went to maher screw a thirteen year old lost her foot in a rebel shelling three weeks ago and never did this does. the rebels launch the rocket and it's ten o'clock in the morning seconds later it hit the national school of aleppo three of the children died on the spot so the rebels and now pushing closer and closer. we're in the al
4:23 pm
assad. and the rebels are pushing into aleppo again. by sunset nine dead over one hundred civilians injured. now most of those rebels are tied to the al qaeda linked al nusra a terrorist group but let's focus on those weapons that they used robert fisk an investigative reporter was able to trace those weapons back to that very factory in bosnia he was able to get a hold of the factories logbook and getting in touch with the former weapons control director the director recognized his signature in the logbook and from there was able to determine who the buyer was it's a warranty for the hundred twenty millimeter mortar launch all this is now standard it went to saudi arabia it was posts of
4:24 pm
a supply of five hundred more i remember the saudi shipment well the saudis came to a factory to inspect the weapons at the beginning of the. twenty sixteen but the response from saudi officials was pretty much a denial they said that the investigation was vague and undefined however their response seemed pretty vague as well saudi arabia is a leading voice within the international community in support of a diplomatic solution to the conflict in syria while at the same time working with our neighbors and allies to counter the growth of forces of extremism but it's not just saudi arabia the former weapons director says that nato and the united states pretty much run the show at the weapons making facilities when the saudis came to a factory to inspect at the beginning of twenty sixteen there was a saudi minister and some saudi officers who was the came to inspect the weapons before receiving them the offices will civilian clothes the minister was in a robe or low production off to the bulls and war is under the control of the
4:25 pm
americans and nato who are always coming here and they know each and every piece of weaponry that leaves off factory. we also asked nato for a response but they didn't have any details to share even though the weapons were actually made to the nato standards need to doesn't transfer arms or i mean nation for and for the questions we would refer you to national authorities now another trace from the basement of this former terrorist base in aleppo is the markings on the casing of a missile now if you take a look the first number here this represents the type of missile the second number however is the stock number you'll notice that it contains the figure zero one now that's the nato code representing the united states it turns out that this t o w anti-tank missile was manufactured at a facility in the united states by the raytheon systems company this missile would
4:26 pm
have been manufactured and sold by huge raytheon absolutely legally to a nato or friendly on the pro american power government defense ministry you name it and they will exist for it's an end use this is if we get an e.u. see a document of impeccable provenance which will be signed by the bias in this case by the chaps who purchased the town missiles in very large numbers stating that they own the final recipients of the weapons this is not the first time this has happened syria is actually littered with weapons that are made to nato standards and some of which have actually been manufactured in the united states the question now is how much do washington and nato know about their weapons falling into the hands of the very cherice they claim to be fighting there is a deafening silence a purposeful lack of interest a purposeful apathy and the reason for this is simple the us government and the
4:27 pm
military industrial complex and the corporate owned media that functions as an echo chamber for the military industrial complex actually does not care the us gov. prosecutes those who they say aid and abet terrorism well guess what american war contractors are aiding and abetting terrorism but the u.s. judicial system the justice department the long arm of american law enforcement will not be used against these same military corporations which in fact are subsidized receive a form of welfare from american taxpayers every year. you pay media reporting that the manchester arena bomber was rescued from war torn libya by the british navy in two thousand and fourteen three years before he carried out a terror attack at an area on the ground they pop concert the atrocity left twenty two people dead and dozens more injured with the details his plane boyo. well according to media reports here in the u.k.
4:28 pm
three years before that deadly attack in manchester someone a baby had been rescued by the british government from libya it was part of an operation to rescue british citizens he was taken aboard a royal navy ship and taken to malta from where he reportedly then got a flight back to the u.k. and he'd been rescued by the british government even though he had been under the surveillance of the domestic intelligence agency here that's m i five now in terms of a baby's background he was born in the u.k. but to libyan parents so he was a british citizen but in two thousand and eleven a baby's parents moved to join the uprising against the government of gadhafi and his father was thought to have been fighting in a terrorist group called the ally f.g. the libyan islamic fighting group and
4:29 pm
a baby was thought to sort of shuttled back and forth between the u.k. and libya for a number of years but he was thought to have been in libya in the summer of two thousand and fourteen and at that point the civil war had got increasingly violent and so british officials made this offer to evacuate british nationals from the country that's how a baby ended up being rescued and by the time of his rescue emery five had stopped monitoring him and the implication therefore is that he was simply considered safe to return back to the u.k. that was reiterated to us by the today in a statement they told us that the sort of the government inquiry into what led up to the manchester attack it found that the decision to start monitoring a baby in two thousand and fourteen was found on the basis of. the information available at the time and although they didn't mention
4:30 pm
a baby by name in this statement to us they did confirm that the operation to rescue british citizens from libya in two thousand and fourteen took place during that era roots in security situation in libya in two thousand and fourteen but the force officials were deployed with the british nationals and their dependents and i think what the government has been keen to point out is that that decision to close the case and invade in two thousand and fourteen based on the information they had at the time the point they're making there is that no one could have known back then that upon his return to the u.k. he would go to war to start this sort of downward spiral of radicalization that would culminate with that horrific attack at the area on the ground a consulate in manchester arena last may.
