rats. and they save lives. the u.k. prime minister begs here for yet another delay to practice at this time until the end of june but it seems some e.u. members are not convinced. wiki leaks says that its founder julian the funds will be expelled from the ecuadorian embassy in london within hours to days citing a high level government source that would end the whistleblowers six year stay in the building. it's always sponsibility to eliminate this risk we own it and we know how to do it they have a boeing admits for the first time a systems failure was a factor in the recent seven thirty seven crash that claimed the lives of one hundred fifty seven people.
12:01 pm
you're watching r t international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned seven pm welcome to the program. by now the u.k. should have spent its first full week outside the e.u. but it still looks far from certain the prime minister is currently locked in talks with the opposition in a bid to find a breakthrough and now it's been revealed she's also written to the president of the european council asking for yet another delay this time until june thirtieth for more on that let's cross live to ems to see a church in london so we can use kicking further down the road according to theresa may how she got europe's support in that. well jacqueline a massive question marks a question mark hangs over bracks it we are indeed just one week away from the latest bracks it deadline given that. the u.k.
12:02 pm
has failed to reach some kind of agreement in terms of what it is going to look like so the way things stand now in just a week on of the european union because that is the law with all of the options and alternatives being not welcomed by the house of commons there is really no alternative so what we've seen happen is the british prime minister theresa may ask for yet another a second extension from the european union in fact it is june thirtieth that she has asked for is a letter sent to donald tusk however this if you remember is a date that was already rejected by the e.u. in the past and one of the big problems there are the european parliament elections that are set to take place on may twenty third so the idea of the e.u. really was that you either partake in the elections and stay in the european union or you don't partake in the european
12:03 pm
a parliament elections but you leave by then and now with theresa may asking for that extension she is reaching really for a final straws of what it is she thinks she could potentially offer to try to keep this situation going because we know she does not support to the idea of leaving without a deal she wants to have an agreement when the u.k. leaves the european union so she has promised now and said in this letter that if by then you can still in the european union with this new extension the government is carrying out preparations for european parliament election participation now to be clear what this means is of course picking candidates running election campaigns and wasting probably considerable amounts of money especially if this does not end up anywhere and leads to nothing however she said that if agreement if an agreement is reached by then before those elections the u.k. will withdraw. from the european union before and then council those participation
12:04 pm
in that parliament vote however obviously nobody knows what's going to happen because now it's up to the european union to say what they think on all this and we know that from the likes of germany there parliamentary foreign affairs committee had has according to reuters described this motive as a domestic tactical maneuvering situation given how difficult it has been at home here in westminster to try to reach some kind of agreement on anything when it comes to bracks that we have heard from germans foreign ministers see many questions are still to clarify a similar position taken by the dutch of course from france indications that they want to clear plan in terms of how this is going to move forward and obviously the situation is not there quite yet so basically the position is for any extension they would need to have a clear plan about what it is that the u.k. wants to achieve in that extension and what the common approach is however all the
12:05 pm
asli throughout this time there has been no common approach so we are expecting an official response from the e.u. on wednesday next week when they meet for european council meetings and of course keep in mind that's going to be just two days before the u.k. potentially crushing out of the e.u. it looks like the world's going to have to continue to wait and see if it does mean that and to see a check in the reporting live from london thank you for bringing us that report. the ecuadorian embassy in london is being closely watched after wiki leaks said its co-founder julian assange will be expelled within days or even hours the whistleblower spin holed up inside since being granted asylum there so we can extract a bombshell on pace day night claiming that julian assange could be expelled from the ecuadorian embassy just behind me in a matter of hours or days we can leak suggested that i am a paper. at the preta. now these papers allege that the ecuadorian president
12:06 pm
benefits from an offshore accounts in panama which the president strongly denies and although wiki leaks also to these allegations have yet to speak to many times mr sanchez violates the cream and we reach with him and his attorney he can freely talk he can freely express himself pretty cannot lie or hack private accounts or phone we keep leaks and gauges in espionage and hacking snooping on phones even getting photos of my bedroom what i eat and how my wife and daughters and friends daunce ecuador hasn't issued any official statements on the wiki leaks statement when it was first reported i could dorian foreign minister actually called it a rumor and we're also hearing from a senior ecuadorian official that said no decision has been made to expel tuning the songe from the embassy back in two thousand and twelve a son she asked for asylum in the ecuadorian embassy over sexual assault allegations in sweden on
12:07 pm
a subsequent arrest warrant issued that now the swedish cases have since been trumped by the still astounding warrants in the u.k. of a son having to get 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. custom five documents but meanwhile though we've been speaking to local activists who have set up camp outside the embassy today is in trouble for supposing the truth about crimes and was a stray i 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 in its own asylum it's against the law he is a political i say lee under the protection of international law it's against the law to be hunted down by back to the people who want it so what they're trying to do here to change is something illegal in a very underhanded way. for now would be keeping you up today tommy said the
12:08 pm
developments that happened right here in london outside the ecuadorian embassy. back in two thousand and ten wiki leaks released a massive cache of secret u.s. military files relating to the war in afghanistan detailing hundreds of unreported cases or coalition troops killed afghan civilians and pointing to the u.s. led forces feel you are in combat in taliban insurgency patrick henningsen executive editor of news site twenty first century wired dot com believes the u.s. has a number of tools at its disposal to make ecuador more amenable. look at the claims by moran oh 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's getting p.r. cues from washington in this respect certainly there's a number of things that she's not only the stick but also the carrot you have to
12:09 pm
remember that the four point two billion dollar i.m.f. loan package that has just been awarded to the government of ecuador is is is a massive thing that sort of makes sense a carrot and stick approach this is one of the hallmarks of this white house is negotiation techniques so there's plenty of evidence implicating london marano if you. this is a huge case one of the most. serious corruption cases in history proves we have a lot of proof it really. is we have been secret out the presidency. we have this ignorant we know really. a lot of. days where the more you know the family for instance the government in the interim and ghost or in. her mutual. history many.
12:10 pm
things but when lisa account 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. in whether the audience be discrete she has. this and she saw according to our constitution. will be descended into 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 u.s. congress has passed a bill against american involvement in saudi arabia's war in yemen both chambers and fox the so-called war powers act to stop the u.s. from supporting riyadh without congressional approval but the motion has had to swerve some rather sneaky efforts to block it as explains. fine print
12:11 pm
a few lines of text that can ruin you financially 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 u.s. has passed a resolution to stop washington support for the saudi led campaign 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 up setting development that is a merged in recent years a resurgence of anti-semitism now what does anti semitism have to do with the war
12:12 pm
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 humans 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 burrow 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
12:13 pm
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 i look in these big sad puppy eyes how on earth can you allow the hunting of a creatures beautiful as this but in all seriousness though congress finally passing the yemen bill without any cabinets is a major milestone indeed but it is set 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
12:14 pm
rely on. riyadh intervened in yemen in two thousand and fifteen after the pro saadi president of the time was ousted by who through rebels the bill passed by congress has yet to be approved by donald trump he may veto the decision sara flounders the head of international action center doesn't think it will pass the legislation. 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 holland and. so there is a certain level of international embarrassment the saudi failure 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.
12:15 pm
support for saudi arabia's criminal war against yemen it's a war that would not one day of it would be possible without u.s. support naval blockade air refueling for years it's been four years of disaster for the people of yemen. the president of brazil has caused widespread outrage during a visit to a holocaust museum in jerusalem on an official visit to israel so you're both narrow offered up some unconventional views on the political leanings of the nazi party. given the bush judy there is no. policy what else if north it was the national socialist party of germany. left wing slovenian philosopher valvo jacques believes comparing modern day socialists to the nazis is absurd. new. there. that basically now is
12:16 pm
a version of socialism they say cynically it's just replace this class struggle and we'd be green. ok. nonetheless one should get this is not the same the car of nazi. is that and that's my and there are no denver no trials against bush in nazi germany you don't just to prove anything you are illegal for what you are by a lawyer or being a jew. one of the most disgusting strategy of contemporary. east again and then to criminalize the modern let's end to rewrite history in the sense of saving. p.d.u. nationality of yours
12:17 pm
a thing that is socially just look for example in burma send us to prague and compare it to meet what was in your house or simply go. no malice down the social democracy you will see the bernie sanders is not even. nato has pledged more warships in the black sea as well as more drills on russia's doorstep all the details after this break. china has arrived in europe in a very big way and not everyone in the west welcomes this italy's support of china's belgian 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.
12:18 pm
saying the number. they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families did. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent in the world market rose thirty percent somewhat one hundred to five hundred three per second per second and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know bored in this one and only boom but.
12:19 pm
come back to the program 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 efforts in the black to see we just agreed with the black sea region we just agreed to package with more surveillance exercises on all the issues which we. strongly believe or relevant for the black sea region and of course with and working with our partners georgia and ukraine nato branded russia a global threat within stoltenberg claiming the country has made the world a more dangerous place and it seems he's alone with that neal. 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
12:20 pm
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 anywhere russian efforts all around the world whether that's efforts in ukraine. russians continued. in activity in syria talked about it in venezuela talked about what they did in the sea of as of and they want them out 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 .
12:21 pm
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 still are still pushing on so you do need to join nato his demand for turkey to abandon a deal has already been completed shares disrespect for typists over it seems like 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. doesn't want to risk the security of their partnership. by making reckless decisions that undermine our line and even mr stoltenberg was somewhat disconcerted by this us or them rhetoric it is
12:22 pm
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 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
12:23 pm
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. the both of us playing giant boeing has apologized after admitting a system failure contributed to two recent crash with involving the company's new seven thirty seven 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 in both flights the maneuvering characteristics on . mentation system known as an cas activated in response to erroneous angle of attack information it's our responsibility to eliminate this risk we own it and we
