both of you. oppose someone to be renewed because we've both of us go if you wait for eighty. wiki leaks says that its founder julian the songs will be expelled from the ecuadorian embassy in london within hours to days citing a high level government source that would end the whistleblower six year stay in the building. nato accuses russia of imperialism and throwing its weight around the world all the same time announcing the alliances military expansion in the black sea also. its responsibility to eliminate this risk we own it and we know how to do it had a boeing and it's for the first time a systems failure was a factor in the recent seven three seven crash that claimed the lives of one

hundred fifty seven people. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teacher in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. the ecuadorian embassy in london is being watched after wiki leaks said its founder julian assange will be expelled within days or even hours the whistleblower has been holed up inside since being granted asylum there six years ago we go live now to london and misha the outside the embassy and isha what's the latest. well we can reconstruct the bombshell on thursday night claiming that julian assange could be expelled from the ecuadorian embassy just a from my shoulder within a matter of i was old days now we keep suggested that i any papers could be used as a pretext for the s. and these papers allege that the ecuadorian president benefited from an offshore

accounts in panama something that the president strongly denies and although we can leaks also denies the publication of this memorandum has responded harshly to the allegations claiming a song will be fully flex take a listen to what he had to say. to speak. too many times mr sanchez violates the cream and we reach with him and his attorney he can freely talk he can freely express himself but he cannot lie private accounts or phone we keep leaks and gauges and spin archon hacking snooping on phones even getting photos of my bedroom what i eat and how my wife and daughters and friends daunce. well ecuador hasn't issued any official comments on the wiki leaks statement but it with this report is ecuadorian foreign minister actually called it a very much but we're also hearing that says a senior at crewe dorrian official said no decision has been made yet to expel julian

a songe now in two thousand and twelve children in the song. the ecuadorian embassy of a sexual assault allegations in sweden and a subsequent arrest warrant issued that but the swedish cases have since been crops but that's still a standing warrants in the u.k. of a son having skipped bail now they're also fears that he could be extradited to the u.s. to face trial if the wiki leaks reports of u.s. custody fight documents but meanwhile though we've been speaking to local activists who have set up camp outside the embassy today. is in trouble for. exposing the truth about crimes and wars the story was involved in and is a journalist and a publisher and is free speech needs to be defended we hope that ecuador doesn't for its sake violate its own asylum laws and its own asylum it's against the law he is a political i say live under the protection of international law it's against the

law to be hunted down by but to the people who want it so what they're trying to do here to change is something illegal in a very underhanded way. so now would be keeping you up to date on any further developments that happened right here in london outside the ecuadorian embassy. and this is what they say across that story for us thank you. let's bring in live now patrick having some executive editor of the news site twenty first century wired dot com welcome to the program now is a staunch entitled to protection by ecuador if he's its citizen then. coding to the it could work in law yes although there are some people challenging this saying that his fast track citizenship which he was given just about a year ago was was done under a different process so there is some critics there but as is the litter of the last stand he does deserve asylum protection and it would be

a dangerous precedent by the ecuadorian government to sort of reverse that for what a lot of people would agree is political pressure being put to bed by the united states we've also heard claims the expulsion allegations are just an attention grabbing stunned by wiki leaks is that possible. that's actually been a popular talking point through a lot of the united states press there stablished and press but if you look at a couple of things one is the pressure that the united states has put on chelsea manning being held in solitary confinement trying to basically get manning to rat on join a saw and to create some sort of a bridge and sort of bypass a normal press protection constitutional protections but so if you look at the bigger context of this plus pressure put by mike pence on the ecuadorian government

which was last summer plus a four point two billion dollar i.m.f. loan package that was awarded to ecuador just last month and in february you put all these things together and it does look like there is quite a few deals going on in the background three way deals perhaps a backroom deal between the u.s. the u.k. and the ecuadorian government to bail. to deliver julius saw inch to the united states well exactly the question is if he is expelled what happens next britain's foreign secretary insists a song is free to leave the embassy what do you think the u.k. will do if he does come out. this this is the this is the big question this is the big question and there is a ray of hope that the u.k. would not extradite julian songe tonight states as was the case with gary mckinnon and there are a few other precedents that might show there's a chance that the united states the u.k. might resist this extradition action by the united states but will they go through with the arrest warrant from two thousand and ten for jumping bail for

a bogus rape case that's since been dropped in sweden that's the big question so julian songe would be happy i'm sure to leave the embassy on his own volition if certain legal protections are in place so i believe he has been in touch with his legal team about this for quite a while now so but that's the big question and i don't i don't think they are in place if if they were he may have already left by now he would have sprung the trap as it were but now he's being forced out he's not dictating the pace of the situation that therefore puts him at a disadvantage in many ways as our correspondent mentioned earlier where you leaks is tied to the exposure of corruption claims against ecuador us president could he have an axe to grind with the songs could that be motivating this decision. i think maybe not i think more of it is probably u.s. pressure to look at the claims by morello he's accusing wiki leaks of hacking so

this hacking accusation where does this sound familiar we've heard this before this is exactly what the united states has been waging on wiki leaks in terms of accusations with regards to russia gate and so with very little evidence to sort of back it up so it seems like the ecuadorian government is getting p.r. cues from washington this research. also the deflection of the issue on to wiki leaks onto a staunch when we could leaks hasn't published anything to anyone's knowledge of the i am a scandal so this deflection is also familiar this is what washington has done to sort of deflect from hillary clinton for the last two years by creating russia gate and sort of putting trump in the moeller investigation into motion so you have to remember there's gangsterism going on by the united states in south america direct threats to ecuador's neighbors by this administration so don't think for a second that the united states is just kind of standing in the background playing nice diplomat in this situation there's there's some serious backroom deals going

on there's pressure there's threats you can absolutely be sure of it the whole world is watching and waiting to see what happens next patrick henningsen of twenty first century wired dot com thank you for joining us on the program. commenting on the latest revelations former ecuadorian president rafael correa says there's plenty of evidence implicating lennon marano if it does leave. huge case one of the most important serious corruption case this in history proves we have a lot of proof it really really raises we have been secret out the reasons you were commenting don't buy what we have to sit there can't we know really. a lot of. days where the. family for instance the government major and ghost or in. a firm you two are here is truly

me. thinks but when lisa count will be organ the we will be able to see where does the money go on the. most protected i repeat there is no choice you asked and she said it was only in c.t. scan she has a disk and she saw according to our constitution. will be decided to do the next day no order and they go remember most probably the most but there is right that we will see what. it will do. the us congress has passed a bill against american involvement in saudi arabia's war in yemen both chambers invoked the so-called war powers act to stop the us from supporting riyadh without congressional approval but the motion has had to swerve some rather sneaky efforts to block it out of explains. fine print

a few lines of text that can ruin you financially and allow facebook to know more about you than your family and friends ever will and keep the u.s. sponsoring a war that has led to the world's worst humanitarian crisis the us has passed a resolution to stop washington support for the saudi led complain in yemen for a very long time many have been desperately calling for this while the war hawks in congress have been equally desperate to prevent it from passing and the means that they've resorted to to derail any such initiative absolutely spectacular. when house democrats put forward a resolution like this last time republicans added an amendment to it which condemned anti semitism this tragedy is merely one part of an upset in development that is a merged in recent years a resurgence of anti-semitism now what does anti semitism have to do with the war

in yemen you are ask nothing but follow the hands the resolution passed in the house but was eventually refused to vote in the senate because it contained a bit irrelevant to the main subject yemen and that bit was yes the anti semitism amendment which house democrats didn't have the guts to argue to get rid of out of fear as to sounds in a phobic and it's not the only time when yemen's fate was decided by the small print. last year donald trump signed into law a bill which he described like this through fires floods and freezing weather we will always stand with the american farmers the farm bill doubles the amount of farmers that they can borrow to expand and improve their farms you sure sounded pleased in this clip yet i have my suspicion that concerns for american farmers have little to do with it because this bill appeared on his table with an

attachment blocking the vote on yemen and an identical thing happened a month before that. the house rules committee voted to advance the manage our wolves act that lifted the ban on hunting gray wolves and yes blocked a vote on the u.s. involvement in the yemeni war which is an absolute outrage if you ask me because we look in these big sad puppy eyes how on earth can you allow the hunting of creatures beautiful as this but in all seriousness though congress finally passing the human bill without any cabinets is a major milestone indeed but it is said to appear on donald trump's table next and just take a wild guess what's going to happen if you truly care about your many lives you'd support the saudi led effort to prevent yemen from turning into a puppet state of the corrupt british islamic republic of iran so yeah when you fix

all the farmers' misery and manage all your wolves you always have mr president to rely on. riyadh intervened in yemen in two thousand and fifteen after the procedure the president of the time was ousted by with the rebels a bill passed by congress has yet to be approved by donald trump and he may veto that decision sara flounders the head of international action center doesn't think trump will pass the legislation. are the resolution will very much likely go back again they'll be other votes and other efforts president trump has absolutely tied himself to the feudal monarchy. and to the hollande and. so there is a certain level of international embarrassment the saudis tell year to to crush the movement in yemen and that's what's really behind this vote while the vote was important and at least pushing back the total and overwhelming u.s.

support for saudi arabia's criminal war against yemen it's a war that would not one day of it would be possible without you. support naval blockade air refueling for years it's been four years of disaster for the people of yemen. nato has agreed on a package of measures to step up its efforts in the black sea and counter russia in the region with more surveillance and exercises promised that's according to the alliance the secretary general speaking at nato seventieth anniversary celebrations . so we are stepping up our records. to see we just agreed with the ducks huge and we just agreed to package with more surveillance exercises on all the issues which we. strongly believe or relevant for the black sea region on of course all of them working with our partners georgia

ukraine nato has branded russia a global threat with un stoltenberg claiming the country's made the world a more dangerous place and it seems he's not alone with that view. pratima putin harbors dark dreams of imperialism he wants to split our alliance and weaken our democratic result still russian aggression russia's attacks on western democracies and in the context of russian efforts all around the world if russia did not exist it would be necessary to invent russia just to keep nato going that's the impression that you get from the summit and the anniversary celebrations that just took place in washington d.c. what worries them seems to be russia's presence anywhere russian efforts all around the world whether that's efforts in ukraine. russians continued. in activity in syria talked about in each case we are doing our best collectively to respond in the case of venezuela the united states says it's responses being prepared as well and what doesn't worry them is their own presence at russia's borders really why

would russia be nervous about such moves nato is adamant to present itself as purely a defensive bloc quickly forgetting the havoc it regularly creates around the world . but even with nato as number one enemy so clearly pronounced there is still kind of a lack of unity within the block the loudest retort seems to be coming from turkey we do still caution and so eager to join you to join nato has demanded turkey to abandon a deal is already been completed shares disrespect for terrorists over. that's how nato second biggest members seem to respond to washington's ultimatum turkey must

choose. those who want to remain a critical partner the most successful military alliance in the history of the world. we're doesn't want to risk the security of the partnership by making reckless decisions that undermine our line and even mr stoltenberg was somewhat disconcerted by this us or them rhetoric it is a national decision. for each other to decide on determined capabilities actually from washington's point of view it's not just russia that nato member countries shouldn't be purchasing from china is also dangerous for the risks associated with the installation of chinese technology and systems related to security there is undoubtedly the risk and every sovereign nation that will make its own decision and then the united states will make its decision so it sounds like friends of the united states are free to trade with the united states alone beyond the u.s. now trading or blocking u.s.

corporations from trading with other countries is a very conscious and energetic attempt that's carried out by the u.s. by the state department and the treasury department prevent other countries from trading with those countries that have been targeted and we see this in regard to iran we see sanctions against russia cuba venezuela north korea sanctions against china many many countries in the world are sanctioned to one degree or another in order to block certain kinds of trade and normal economic relationships what are considered today normal economic relationships in again the interest of a strategy of global domination former vice head of the o.s.c. e.s.n. lately weimer believes nato itself isn't danger in the world when we look on today's yes there are many dangerous situations. but the most dangerous situation is created by need to all. see illegal

war against the form of federal if i were to go if you would slavia and all the walls since in afghanistan in iraq in seal you guy living in mali need to as if it's destroying the boat and it is killing people in hundreds of solace and in their followers. who comes from norway a very strange country in cold wars times should be more quiet when he talks about these things the head of u.s. playmaker boeing apologizes for two deadly plane crashes in meeting the system failure was a contributing factor on that after a short break. match

geysers financial survival guide liquid those that you can convert using as quite easily or. join me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

welcome back the boss of u.s. plane giant boeing has apologized after admitting a system failure contributed to two recent process involving the company's new seven three seven maxi model the two disasters happened within six months of each other together claiming three hundred and forty six lives with the release of the preliminary report of the ethiopian airlines flight three zero two accident investigation it's apparent that impasse activated in response to erroneous angle of attack information it's our responsibility to eliminate this risk we own it and we know how to do it.

as a safety feature of the boeing seven three seven max features a new type of anti stalling system the c.e.o. explained that bus tragedy as it had reacted to incorrect data causing those as of the planes to be forced down when the pilots were trying to gain altitude airline pilot pilot keith was anger feels pilots should always be able to override a plane's automated systems. the system repeatedly kicked in and the pilots were forced to fight against it that is as you say a terrifying concept we should always be able to override any electronic system

software system protection system on the airplane that stability augmentation system was from the angle attacks answers the question that i would ask is why was it feeding bad information to the system is there something wrong with the angle of attack sensors the way they were installed the way they were connected to the aircraft systems were their manufacturing defect i think those sensors were not manufactured by boeing but perhaps by a third party supplier but i think everybody is focusing on the software that caused the nose down motion when i think the initial question should be why is it giving bad information. the u.n. security council will gather today to discuss the latest military escalation and libya that's after a leader of forces from the east ordered his troops to march on the capital where the un backed government is stationed the united nations secretary general antonio

terrace is now in libya and called on all sides to avoid bloodshed i want to take a very strong view. and if you follow me he said the movements to stop days no military solution for any problem in the world and that he's loved and be the judge a solution for the problem simply. troops from coming if i have to as army are now very close to tripoli raising fears of a large scale confrontation on thursday they took over a town just one hundred kilometers from the capital after has ordered his forces however not to open fire on civilians. i you a lot of us are heroes the time has come only use your weapons against those who have to be spared it is your responsibility to protect the citizens institutions and interest of the capital. the country has been torn apart by warring factions since gadhafi was ousted years ago since then two rival governments have emerged

one backed by the e.u. and based in tripoli and another in the eastern city of tobruk his announcement comes days before a u.n. brokered peace conference which is supposed to pave the way for new elections a joint statement has been issued by the u.s. france italy the u.k. and the u.a.e. they are calling on all sides to avoid military posturing and show restraint and they insist that there is no military solution to the libyan conflict but independent political analysts also bruno says the situation in libya could still deteriorate further. it's a very serious situation no matter what happens general. has gained political currency because military because whether or not the conference in. which the reconsideration conference goes through or not he has the big hand right now and also there are various as i mentioned

various city states let's call them which are very significant interest of their own in maintaining a certain autonomy from everyone else one of these may be the most important one. they will probably put up a fight. i don't think they see very kindly to journal after so potential is definitely exists for bloodshed. that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook for up to the minute reports. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mater us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent of the

world market goes thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three first second per second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know bored to miss the one and only boom but. china has arrived in europe in a very big way and not everyone in the west welcomes this italy's support of china's belden road initiative is a game changer the washington consensus that has dominated the world for the past seven decades is being challenged but turned to the east continues. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the

people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circulating branches off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the walls with them money on those with dad lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and. willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy for. a welcome to worsen or is played

a major role in pushing the terrorist spec is outsourcing the name of the game when it comes to modern conflicts will ask was class ans to mention director at programs africa and veteran soldier for hire. mercenaries have been the mainstay of african walls for decades have a good decisive impact in sierra leone and goler nigeria and other theaters of conflict and while the media portrays them as dangerous cash hungry brutes local government still has soldiers of fortune to get them out of tight spots.
