u.k. prime minister begs europe for yet another delay breaks at this time until the end of june but it seems some e.u. members are convinced. julian assange supporters hold a vigil outside the ecuadorian embassy in london after wiki leaks says that its co-founder will be expelled within hours today citing a high level government source. it's our responsibility to eliminate this risk we own it and we know how to do it. and the head of boeing admits for the first time the systems failure was a factor in a recent seven three seven crash that claimed the lives of one hundred fifty seven .

very good evening and welcome this is. the u.k. prime minister's written to the president of the european council asking for yet another briggs this time until june thirtieth. reports on what reason my hopes will be heard bargaining chip. in fact it is june thirtieth that d.t. 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 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 the u.k. is 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

in that parliament vote however obviously nobody knows what's going to happen and basically the use 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 be asleep throughout this time there has been no common approach. to speak now to professor francesco to suit so who is a professor of european law at university very good to have you on francisco i think it's fair to say this point i think people who voted leave all agree shambles what's going on with briggs that the question is. this situation now is to reason my buying time to give her a chance to try and finally pass a divorce deal or could the attack chely be staying longer maybe indefinitely. that's a difficult question to our i just the cynic in me would say that she's trying to buy a little bit more time i've read her letter today on the assumption that she's going

to basically frighten her own backbenches and particularly the jihad cool and the de with labor labor is the fear factor so bad my deal or else that that's what the game is because essentially the labor party and kissed dahmus today has said well she hasn't budged she's simply clarifying what's already agreed and if you read the letter she insists on her withdrawal deal so i think she's trying to buy time she's already had rejected the thirtieth of june though there is a commitment to holding european elections so that i think is the strategy it's taken three or four days to to work it out. and a fallback position is that surely her backbenchers the hard core not support oh well then we'll have a longer two to see it through when and they will have to come to some kind of

agreement with labor though if i can just add. agreeing about what's in the political declaration is neither here nor there because governments can change the real issue is what is in the treaty the withdrawal agreement and i think labor arguing about the political declaration is like speculating about what will happen in six ten months time not knowing who's going to be in charge in the conservative party yeah this is actually a very interesting point you make that's going to warrant further discussion down the law and more immediately though i have to say i thought the e.u. would continue to allow any delays. thinking that they would want the u.k. to stay but a good point somebody made i think worth mentioning is there going to be a fear from the e.u. that if they do allow this to happen other countries in the bloc might start getting a little bit can we say thinking that maybe this is a good thing maybe we should do it could it cause some kind of nerves within the

e.u. if they allow this to drag on. i think that many people in the are really quite fed up with this i think many of them are absolutely astonished that the the british political establishment the british system has thrown up such and such a mass. i think that the united kingdom will be offered a one year extension the way. to suggested today i think the french will come around i think be you doesn't want a deal if they have to drag it out for a year or so. why not if it's interesting the turn from germany is slightly different from the tone from from paris that we have a good cop bad call. the real problem is in london do we actually know what we want and i think really brussels will allow us time to work out exactly what the position is. and god knows whether by the middle of next week we're going to have a position i just don't see it myself but you know brussels does not want

the whole thing to collapse and i think in the end that will work like also as as you rightly say i don't want to send a signal to other states that they can mess about with. brussels by trying to force concessions on things that haven't even come out yet so this is you know this is a crucial point i think i said before that the new we're not going to blink they haven't been i don't think they will blink giving britain another year i think i called it something equally flexi extension i prefer to call it flexi bracks it because it makes more sense to me to call it that i think that we probably will probably get that but the government is is really sticking to its guns and i don't think that that we were back in the end. after up if there was a pleasure to speak to the professor francesco visitor from edge hill university in the u.k. thank you. on to other news now ecuador's ambassador to the u.k.

said that there are no changes regarding julian assange just protractors staying in the country's embassy other than that any claims to the contrary are unfounded this is after wiki leaks said that its co-founder would be expelled from the building within days possibly even hours the whistleblowers been holed up inside since being granted asylum six years ago and is outside the embassy for us with details. wiki leaks dropped a bombshell on thursday nights 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 a pretext now these papers allege that the ecuadorian president benefits from an offshore accounts in panama or which the president strongly denies and although we can leaks also denies any involvement in publishing the papers murano house responded quite harshly to these allegations. 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 pretty cannot lie or private accounts or phone 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 dawns ecuador hasn't issued any official statements on the wiki leaks statement when it was first reported it could dorian foreign minister actually called it a rumor and we're also hearing from a steamy ecuadorian official that said no decision has been made to expel tuning their son from the embassy back in two thousand and twelve sanch asked for asylum in the ecuadorian embassy over sexual assault allegations in sweden and the subsequent arrest warrants issued that now the swedish cases have been cropped but there are still astounding warrants in the u.k. a bit son having to get bail now they're also fear. that he could be extradited to

the u.s. to face trial if wiki leaks reports of u.s. custom five documents his fear is that he will be a victim. and then face extradition to america and the life in prison so extremely . i'm convinced that judy expects to be free is in trouble for supposing the truth about crimes and war is the strain was involved in. the journalist in a publisher and he's free speech needs to be defended we hope that ecuador doesn't for its sake violate its own asylum laws and so. it's against the law he is political i say only under the protection of international law it's against the law to be hunted down by our back to the people who want so what they're trying to do here trying to something illegal in a very underhanded way for now would be keeping you up to date on any further

developments that happen here right here in london outside the ecuadorian embassy. and human rights campaigner peter tatchell who joins me from london good to have you on peter this is a really interesting point which maybe not everybody knew but last year record or granted julian assange citizenship even actually tried to get him accredited as a diplomat although that request was dismissed does does he have any entitle meant to protection now against extra extradition. but of course having been granted ecuador and citizenship. of all rights under the ecuadorian constitution and the ecuadorian government has a duty of care towards him as a citizen of their country moreover he was previously granted political asylum by could or and under the asylum rules and conventions a state that was granted asylum should do nothing to. further jeopardize the

refugee status or position on both the count of citizenship and asylum it would be an extraordinary decision by the door to a victim from the embassy that would be pretty much on president in asylum and citizenship law it's kind of interesting how the feeling the vibe has changed from the situation from feeling that assad has been protected and saying hey sons you are free to leave the embassy there is nothing holding you there but would you be safe to step out think. well as has been pointed out the moment he stepped outside the embassy he will be arrested on charges of having skipped bail and that is not a very serious charge but it could result in a substantial fine or maybe even a short term of imprisonment in a british jail but the bigger worry is once that is over then he will face extradition to the united states where we know that a secret grand jury has convened for many years to compile

a list of charges against him over the publication of information about among other things u.s. war crimes in iraq and afghanistan these were informations provide thirty five years in prison although later pardoned by president after serving less than a decade pardoned by president obama that is not by president trump. now the feeling is that sanjay is is probably facing in the region of thirty to forty maybe even fifty years maybe even life imprisonment so understandably he does not want to prove yourself in a situation where he could be arrested and extradited and i think his fear of a punitive sentence is very grave and the fact that the secret grand jury operates in secret has not indicated what the charges will be. the to the public and not

even to during our son and his lawyers that isn't understandable reason for good concern having seen the penalty that chelsea manning suffered for thirty five years he understandably fears the same or worse i think it's quite incredible just to remember that julian assange which hasn't stepped outside of that same building for six years a lot of people say that's effectively imprisonment how would you assess the conditions in which he has been living to date. well his conditions in the ecuadoran embassy are akin or even worse to that of a bystander jail and certainly. you know jail in the united states or in britain where the prisoner has a right to association other prisoners to go to exercise to go to the gym virtually well not part from occasionally stepping on the balcony very briefly no sunlight whatsoever. these conditions have had a very big toll on his mental and physical health and i think it shows his courage

and integrity these borne all this. all this physical and mental hardship for all this time. i would have thought that most governments say well he's done his time in prison he's done six years because affectively as i said the conditions and they're going to embassy are knowledge of if not worse to us than the prison why not call it quits there's no public interest for the people of britain to see him. extradited to the united states there's no reason why he should not be given free passage to ecuador to take up with your saddam i think it is clear that the british government is in hock to the americans and dare not step out of line because they are basically subservient to the american government and that's a very sad indictment of our lack of independence as a nation. if you could speak to i guess this our human rights campaign of peter

tatchell thanking. the president of brazil has caused widespread outrage during a visit to a holocaust museum in jerusalem on an official visit to israel jr both a narrow offered up some unconventional views on the political leanings of the nazi party. there is no doubt it's socialist party what else if not it was the national socialist party of germany left wing slovenian philosopher believes comparing modern day socialist to the nazis is absurd the new ones are abused. by their. that basically now is the version of socialism they save just replace this class struggle and we'd be green. ok.

nonetheless one should get this is not the same those who are of nutty. is that they are not then we are not against. dramatically you don't just prove anything you are illegal for what you are by the law or being. one of the most disgusting strategy of temporary. each. and who criminalize the modern let's end to rewrite history in the sense of saving. p.d.u. nationality of the accusation that if you socialist danger just look for example in britain we send a stronger and comparing. what was in your how to simply go not at the normal astound of social democracy you will bernie sanders is not

even there. 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 somewhat sneaky efforts to block it as it has done 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 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 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 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 you can you allow the hunting of the 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. reality intervened in yemen in two thousand and fifteen after the pro saudi president was ousted by the rebels the bill passed by congress is yet to be approved by donald trump he could veto 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 little monarchy. and to the holiday. so there is a certain level of international embarrassment at the saudis to tell you or to to.

rush 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 u.s. support naval blockade air refueling for years it's been four years of disaster for the people of yemen. a system failure contributed to two recent crashes involving the company's new seven three seven model the two disasters happened within six months of each other together claiming three hundred forty six lives. with the release of the preliminary report the big ethiopian airlines flight three zero two accident investigation it's apparent that in both flights the maneuvering characteristics augmentation system known as m.

a safety measure the boeing seven thirty seven max features a new type of anti stalling system and the c.e.o. explained that in both tragedies it had 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 bray said that the problem first came to light two years ago. they have really super new very huge leap engines on the front of the aircraft and they're pushed well forward so the whole weight distribution of the aircraft is different so artificially has to maintain the air the fuselage on this plane now what happens of course the weight will naturally force 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 system and so it's going like this is this and then on the power the aircraft is drilling into the ground

and that's what's been happening and i now understand that isso which is the european organization that regulates these things knew about this two years ago and they issued a document suggesting that things should be done so really it. creates more questions and being answered at the moment. the u.n. security council is meeting today to discuss the latest military escalation in libya follows reports that force is from the ac although there's been no official confirmation the united nations secretary general antonio good terror 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 bravos to tripoli raising fears of a large scale confrontation on thursday they took control of

a town just one hundred kilometers from the capital however reports today claimed forces loyal to the tripoli government have taken one hundred forty five of those advancing troops prisoner to order his forces not to open fire on civilians oh you are a lot. heroes the time has come only use your weapons against those who have decided to fight those who have chosen bloodshed but those who lay down their arms must be spared it is your responsibility to protect the citizens institutions and interest juncture of the capital. the country's been torn apart by warring factions since mom or dad was ousted eight years ago since then the two rival governments have emerged one backed by the u.n. and based in tripoli another in the eastern city of to brooke allied to half the latest escalation comes just days before a u.n. brokered peace conference which is supposed to pave the way for new elections. a joint statements been issued by the u.s. france italy the u.k. and the u.a.e.

they're calling on all sides to avoid military posturing and to show restraint and insist that there's no military solution to the libya conflict but independent political analyst alessandro bruno says the situation in libya could still further deteriorate. it's a very serious situation not no matter what happens general or have there has gained political currency because a military because whether or not the conference in. which the reconsideration conference goes through or not he has a big hand right now and also that there are various as i mentioned there are various city states let's call them which are very significant interests of their own in maintaining a certain their autonomy from everyone else one of these is mr out there maybe 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. if you want where you want this is our international just the right place for this friday evening.
