men they know as bad wolf. the. u.k. prime minister begs europe for yet another delay to briggs at this time until the end of june but it seems that some e.u. members are not convinced. says that its founder julian assange will be expelled from the ecuadorian embassy in london within hours to days highlevel government sources within the whistleblower a six year stay in the building. its own responsibility to eliminate this risk we own it and we know how to do it on the head of boeing admits for the first time a systems failure was a factor in a recent seven three seven crash that claimed the lives of one hundred fifty seven
1:01 pm
people. very good evening and welcome to r.t. international. the u.k. prime minister has written to the president of the european council asking for yet another bragg's it delay this time until june thirtieth auntie's on the situation reports on what to resume my hopes will be her bargaining chip. 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 you.
1:02 pm
or you don't partake in the european parliament elections but you leave by then and now with theresa may asking for that extension she is reaching really for 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 promise now and said in this letter that if by then the u.k. 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
1:03 pm
in that e.u. parliament vote however obviously nobody knows what's going to happen basically the position is for any extension they would need to have a clear plan about what it is that he wants to achieve in that extension and what the common approach is however obviously throughout this time there has been no common approach to. the crew and embassy in london is being closely watched after wiki leaks said that its co-founder julian assange will be expelled within days possibly even though as the whistle blows been holed up inside since being granted asylum the six years ago. outside the embassy for us with the latest. wiki leaks dropped a bombshell on pace the 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 papers. could be used as
1:04 pm
a pretext now these papers allege that the ecuadorian president benefits from an offshore accounts in panama which the president strongly denies and although we can leaks also denies any involvement in publishing the papers marano house responded quite harshly to these allegations yet has been 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 but he cannot lie private accounts or phone we keep leaks and gauges in espionage and hacking snooping on phones even getting photos of my bedroom where 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 chaining their son from the embassy back in two thousand and twelve
1:05 pm
a son she asked for asylum in the ecuadorian embassy the sexual assault allegations in sweden and the subsequent arrest warrants issued that now the swedish cases have since been trumped but they're still astounding warrants in the u.k. of a songe having to get bail now there are also fears that he could be extradited to the u.s. to face trial if wiki leaks reports of u.s. cuts of 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 wars the story was involved in and is a journalist and a publisher and it's 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. so what they're trying to do here is
1:06 pm
a change to something illegal if any on the handed way now would be keeping you up to date tommy said that development that happened right here in london outside the ecuadorian embassy. ok let's discuss this story and many others with former u.s. congressman ron paul who joins me on the line a pleasure to have you on let's start with this particular story. about how bin claims this might be. an attention seeking it from wiki leaks do you think that in any way possible that they would risk upsetting the host souping keeping julian songs out of prison for so many years just to grab attention . well i imagine it's possible but i don't really have a good insight into that but if it doesn't serve their interest why would they do it would be my question but i think the whole thing is a big mess that's for darn sure and i think it's
1:07 pm
a shame that we have to sort of try to sort this out but they should be doing anything that would hurt themselves or her songs but unfortunately has not had many cards to play and i don't think. that the main problem is over there as much as our government that has orchestrated all this that's where the real problem is. this move over to nato if we may because of course it's just been celebrating the seventy's down the verse three. zation and it's going to boost its presence in the black sea at the same time washington is ordered russia to leave. venezuela is this some kind of contradiction there it seems like the u.s. feels it can go wherever it wants nato can go wherever it wants russia can't. well that's the way that's the way it seems and i think what you just described is one of the reasons we as libertarians have defended the position we don't need. to
1:08 pm
be in nato and nato doesn't need to exist and the libertarian leaning politicians back in one thousand nine hundred nine said don't get involved because it would stir up more trouble that there would be more challenges toward russia and more likely to have trouble. hours before the nato on the first read the u.s. funds president has outs at germany over its level of defense spending all this it was the germans to spend more also criticize turkey for buying on systems. from russia so nato if it's an alliance it's not getting the friendliest of hosts in the us. know that once again is a problem of. too much intervention and anticipating and trying to make everybody happy so i think that the biggest problem is the organization. and the reason i argue for the case of you know getting out of nato
1:09 pm
ok well look and say you know that i've been there myself you have a good drink just take a moment and have a drink i know what it's like it's awful when you haven't a bit of trouble it. will get parts from time to time. to what is now as to what extent do you do you think being part of nato means having to go along with whatever america wants is pretty clear america is the boss of this gang for want of a better expression does that mean all that all the other members have to go along with what the us says or do they have any power to get back. i think they're naive for going along and i think they get benefits and they do they get monetary benefits i've argued that our foreign policy is designed to say that if you do what we tell you we'll give you a lot of money if you do that you better watch out we might put on sanctions or bomb your country. and i think there's too many countries especially european countries say well we can't defend ourselves we don't want to have to spend this
1:10 pm
money is this big benefit you send troops over here you spend money here you give us aid and you also provide so-called defense in case anybody whatever attack is so i think is detrimental to them but it's sort of like a spinal spoiled kid you know they don't take care of themselves so they think they're getting a good deal but ultimately i don't think they should because we're going to run out of the ability to take care of everybody and i think that's what gets to trump sometime as well he said get out of nato but i think what he's tired of is maybe the bills piling up and trying to argue that other countries should pay more but i think it's the principle that i'm concerned about the principle of an international organizations i guess us involved in badger's other countries and pressures them to support us and what we do around the world where there's an afghanistan ukraine we were looking for support so they gave us token support for us managing our empire
1:11 pm
and that's where the real problem is i think the countries that go along with this you know are getting a little bit concerned because you take you take the iranian situation you know with breaking off of the treaty with iran the europeans aren't actually happy with that they'd be bit much better off saying hey you know what's wrong with us training with iran and there's a lot of us who say what's wrong with trading with russia why do we have to have these unnecessary shopping the other countries have to respond to it so i think interventionism breezes kind of stuff and that's why we argue the case. we want to mind our own business and people say well you just be an isolationist what it's all opposite of isolationism we don't want to be by ourselves but we want to talk to people why we we were really happy with eighty nine and ninety eight with the breakdown of the cold war you're getting rid of that that meant we could talk to and travel and trade with russia and now of course things are backing off from that
1:12 pm
because you know to keep the military industrial complex going and keep keep the agitation you always have to have an enemy and some people and i think it's a minority i think the average person in this country why make an enemy but anyway anyway that's part of our policy and that justifies all this expenditures and so what i think will happen is the inability of our country to afford what we're doing which is really it was detrimental to our getting frustrated with what you described. you know getting involved in imposing and telling them what to do and and us bossing ourselves but i don't i don't think that's going to last forever and in fact i see some cracks in the in that already. perhaps one of the cracks was donald trump saying long ago in a surprising statement that the u.s. children russia should start spending less on the militaries and use the money for something more what do you think he really meant but then of course is that the
1:13 pm
stumbling block he's going to hit well more like a wool feel excuse me for using the sense of issue when it comes to child is military industrial complex he talked about. you know i'd be a genius if i could answer and say i know what he really meant because some days we cheer him on and some days we say hey why are you why are you doing this because in a meeting and he was in in the other day. you know he sort of blurted out why can't we be friends with russia and some of his colleagues were like oh what did he just say you know sometimes i think that's where trump really is. coming from but i'm fortunately he still has to contend with some pressure coming from the deep state and the neoconservatives they seem to still have tremendous power and influence on our government and they seem to be able to you know can control congress as well. done so we could speak to the mount
1:14 pm
a lot of people say the best politician never to be u.s. presidents could speak to you ron paul former u.s. congressman. the president of brazil schools wise terrelle jaya both the narrow offered up some unconventional views on the political leanings of the nazi party. there is no doubt its socialist party was else if not it was the national socialist party of germany left wing slovenian philosopher believes that comparing modern day socialist to the nazis is absurd. the new general gives. their. their basically now kilometer version of socialism if they save just this class struggle and we'd be green. ok.
1:15 pm
nonetheless one should get this is not the same there who are or not. is that index my head there are not then we're not going to. dramatically you don't just prove anything you do know. when all of them are doing and who remain their model and let's end to rewrite history in the sense of saving. the action of the accusation that if you. just look for example in earnest and stronger and can barely read what was in your house or simply go. about their normal astound of social democracy you will see bernie sanders is not even there. the us congress has passed
1:16 pm
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 explains fine print 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 us 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 initiatives absolutely spectacular.
1:17 pm
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 upsurge 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 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
1:18 pm
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 the month before that. the house rules committee voted to advance the manage our wolves act that lifted a ban on hunting gray wolves and yes that 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 yemen bill without any cabinets is a major milestone indeed but it is set to appear on donald trump's table next and
1:19 pm
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. to intervened in yemen in twenty fifteen after the pro saudi president of the time was ousted by the rebels the bill passed by congress has yet to be approved by donald trump he may veto the decision sara flounders head of the international action center doesn't think that 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 the hollande and solomon so there is a certain level of international embarrassment at the saudi failure to to crush the
1:20 pm
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 u.s. support naval blockade air refueling for years it's been four years of disaster for the people of yemen. the boss of u.s. plane john boeing has apologized after admitting that the system failure contribution to recent crashes involving the company's new seven thirty seven max eight model the two disasters happened within with the release of the preliminary report a big if yo paean airlines flight three zero two accident investigation it's apparent that in both flights the maneuvering characteristics augmentation 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 know how to do it.
1:22 pm
as a safety measure the boeing seven three seven max features a new type of anti stalling system and the c.e.o. explained that in both tragedies it reacted to incorrect data causing the noses of the planes to be forced down when the pilots were trying to gain altitude aviation analyst julian brace said that the problem first came to light teen years ago they have really super knew very huge leap engines on the front of the aircraft and they pushed well forward so the whole weight distribution of the aircraft is different so artificially it has to maintain the air the fuselage on this plane now what happens of course the weight will naturally false the nose up and then it goes into a stall position so the software brings the nose of the aircraft down so this but what's happening is repeated commands are going into the aircraft is drilling into the ground and that's what's been happening die now i understand that isso which is

the european organization that regulates the sayings knew about this two years ago and they issued a documents suggesting that things should be done so really. it creates more questions and it's being answered at the moment. the u.n. security council is meeting today to discuss the latest military escalation in libya after reports that forces from the east led by commander khalifa haftar have captured the international airport in the capital tripoli although there's been no official confirmation the united nations secretary general antonio guterres is now in libya and called on all sides to avoid bloodshed. i want to look a very strong view. in the view for. any movements to stop there is no military solution for every problem in the world and there is love in military solution for the problems in libya troops from khalifa haftar as
