breaks in. the u.k. prime minister begs europe for yet another delay to this time until the end of june but members of the fair ready to take a tough line. supporters of wiki leaks founder julian assange hold a vigil outside the ecuadorian embassy in london after reports that he could be expelled from the building. security council calls on libya's rival factions to avoid bloodshed as a commander from the east of the country advances his troops towards the capital tripoli.

prime minister has asked the european union for yet another delay after failing to get her withdrawal agreement through parliament as things stand the country is on course to crash out of the e.u. with no deal on april twelfth. reports now from london. 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 and 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 allies 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 do 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. 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 because now it's up to the european union to say what they think on all this we is the european union of such. ones and the reason no reason to further extend those

the lines we hope london will provide more clarity before wednesday the bull is not here in the netherlands or in paris or berlin the ball really is in london another extension requires the u.k. to put forward a plan with clear and credible political backing in their absence of such a plan would have took knowledge that the u.k. chose to leave the use in a disorderly. mannah basically the use position is for any extension they would need to have a clear plan about what it is that the king wants to achieve in that extension and what the common approach is however obviously throughout this time there has been no common approach professor of european law francesco reserve believes theresa may is hoping to scare parliament into approving her bags a deal 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 pretty

a fear factor so but 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 simply clarifying what's already agreed and if you read the letter she insists on her withdrawal deal so i think that many people in the 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. ecuador's ambassador to the u.k. has refused to confirm rumors that julian assange could be expelled from the building that was after wiki leaks claimed it could happen within days or even hours whistleblower has been holed up inside since being granted asylum almost seven years ago and he says that he has been covering the story for us. wiki leaks dropped a bombshell on pasting nights claiming that julian assange could be expelled from

the ecuadorian embassy just behind me in a matter of hour was 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 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 disagreements you'll reach with him and his attorney he can freely talk he can freely express himself but he cannot lie private counsel for leaks and gauges an espionage in hacking snooping on phones even getting photos of my bedroom what i eat and how my wife and daughters and friends dongs 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 a subsequent arrest warrant issued that now the swedish cases have since been trumped but there's still astounding warrants in the u.k. of a son 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. custody fight 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 frank is in trouble for supposing the truth about crimes and wars the stray was involved in and is a journalist and a publisher and his 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 our back to the people who want so what they're trying to do here to turn to something illegal in a very underhanded way for now would be keeping you up to date on a feather development that happened right here in london outside the ecuadorian embassy human rights campaigner peter tatchell believes that is being used as a bargaining chip in relations between ecuador and the us. i would suggest it's highly likely that the u.s. government has been putting pressure on the government of ecuador and we know that already is strong to about seventeen percent the new york times reported that president moreno had offered to hand over a sanch to the u.s.

in exchange for debt relief so i think there is something much deeper going on here and it would be a great great shame if ecuador power to american pressure and gave up the important principle that a citizen of its country a political refugee who had been granted asylum should be handed over to a foreign power to face draconian charges cooked up by a secret grand jury the content of which is not known to anyone that would be a very very grave step to take. commenting on the latest revelations of former ecuadorian president rafael correa says there is plenty of evidence implicating lennon merino if assad does leave. her a huge case one of the most important serious corruption cases in history proves we have a lot of proof it really really raises we have been secret out there is in syria

who are committing done by war and we have this in their current we know really. a lot of. days where the more you know family for instance the governments in the interim and ghost or in fine. things but when least account will be open we will be able to see where does the money go. must protect us i repeat there is no choice you asked and she said it was the audience he described he has they see this and she saw according to our constitution he cannot be descended into the next day no order and the government most probably the most but there is right that we will see what . it will do. world powers have called on the warring sides in

libya to cease hostilities and to deescalate the german ambassador to the un gave a statement after an emergency meeting of the security council. the members of the security council expressed deep concern that the military to fit the call to l.a. the forces to halt all military movements i mean while a commander from eastern libya. is now outside tripoli and has ordered his forces to take the capital but he has already been dealt a major setback as dan cohen reports. here's what we know to this point militias supportive of the un backed government in tripoli reportedly took prisoner one hundred to one hundred forty five soldiers from khalifa taras forces there's also been a battle over the airport in tripoli to our forces move north coming as close as forty kilometers to tripoli by taking the village of soon after some fighting

earlier on how far ordered his forces to not open fire on civilians tripoli is controlled by the u.n. backed government of prime minister fayyad is also raj the u.n. chief antonio gutierrez sit in that all tripoli. and united nations the main. available to facilitate any leads to briefly explain the situation in libya the country has been torn apart by warring factions since late libyan leader morgan moammar gadhafi was ousted by nato backed militia men in two thousand and eleven since then two rival governments have emerged one backed by the united nations and based in the western city of tripoli and another in the eastern city of tobruk that's allied to huffed are. more this let's cross now to u.s. diplomat a former u.s. diplomat always good to hear from you sir. libya's a mess seems to be ignoring the calls from the u.n.

to cease military activity is there any chance that they will back down at this stage. i will as we heard in the report today they've it doesn't seem to be entirely smooth sailing for them and there has been some pushback from the un supported government. and the short answer for everybody is this is what happens when you have violent regime change from the outside in a country that happened in libya in two thousand and eleven this is this is squarely on the doorstep of david cameron nicolas sarkozy and of course hillary clinton barack obama they are the ones that lead this this misery campaign for democracy and democracy for the libyan people and what has it got them what year whether we will see some early resolution to this where one government or the other vanquishes its rival stands to be seen but until then i don't see anything good happening in this country and for sure well yesterday there was a joint statement from u.s. u.k. france and italy. and the u.a.e.

saying that there can be no military solution to the crisis in libya military solutions are not always the best of course is there any a certain irony in that given that. they were all involved in the intervention way back ocracy is another expression that could be use yes they act after all the what was the of the of pottery barn rule barn rule you break it you pay for it that colin powell imagined are these countries taking the responsibility for having broken libya in the first place it seems what's happening unfortunately is these various powers are supporting their favorite faction within within libya we had the u.s. in supporting the hot car side until two thousand and sixteen now they switched over to the un supported government and in tripoli. and the other various powers are also supporting these factions it seems like as is typical in the course of this

sort they become proxy these forces become proxies for outside powers so if he does succeed in capturing tripoli. what are the odds of another western intervention. i don't know that there is much of an appetite for that but one never knows does one. keep in mind that doesn't need necessarily mean the end of a civil strife in syria in addition to these two rival factions there are also other groups that are affiliated with various jihad. groups that have their own outside supporters as well and of course we know that there is a lot of a tribal rivalry within syria within within libya and also a regional divisions really does that mean the humpty dumpty is going to be put back together again even if one side or the other prevails in the short term well we do have some some hope i guess on the horizon if you will like a u.n. backed national reconciliation conference is due to be held in libya later this

month in fact now the aim of course is to plan elections and achieve peace in the country under these circumstances that we have now is that achievable i don't think we can say for a definite fact that it is let's all hope it is let's all hope that some kind of reason will prevail and people can sit down and settle the differences and form some sort of compromise that reflects all the different interests of people within libya but there's no guarantee that that will happen my guess is it probably won't and quickly there is a battle going for the airport there in tripoli. allies of the u.s. backed government say that they've captured one hundred forty five of the soldiers . i mean that's almost a david versus goliath type of a scenario there how do you see that playing out. i don't know how the ground how significant that particular fact is whether that really. throws a monkey wrench into the general have to ours offensive on trip to tripoli or

whether they will overcome that setback and continue with their offensive and take power in tripoli as well if they do that i don't know but i am i guess my my gut feeling is it's better to have one faction win at some point and then try to reconcile the rest of the country rather than having this constant back and forth that's been going on since we broke libya in two thousand a lot indeed are always great to hear your thoughts a former u.s. diplomat you can provide some insight that others don't have profit. all right more news after a break you're watching our chief national. in the world of political much making the european union has long put file used before wealth as its most desirable attribute. in the time it takes for the e.u.

to make a policy decision china can set up a whole new industry. that's attractive to potential. make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is the final go around to be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. vice president joe biden has confronted claims against him of inappropriate touch he has used our issued a video to explain his behavior and acknowledged it could make some people

uncomfortable but it seems not everyone has been taking his message seriously. i grabbed it and with my shoulder you can do. what i grabbed. the wrist. well after trump published the so-called doctored version of the video biden fired

back saying that the president was on the job and has always meanwhile one of the women who has accused biden down for misconduct has found her own behavior under scrutiny a journalist for the atlantic highlighted the woman's old posts about russia and vladimir putin quickly provoking theories that she could be a russian agent legal and media analyst lionel gave us his own take on the story. i don't think it's doctored i think it's colucci oh yes i think there was a loser in here because that makes isn't like spence's doctor and said you know it's a medium that it's said take off it's photoshop remember those jib jab send people the. back it's not i've heard it's a it's a parody my god this is this strong reason just strong rages behaviors and by the way in the under doctored photos less somebody talks about you

know up a pat on the back we're talking about standing behind women and children and. crabbing down almost of the point going up to people and instead of say hi how are you like boy it's good to see it neil good to see your pal what if i would up and grabbed your face in my hands everything it's it's it's a bizarre. the u.s. 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 motion has a comment. 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 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 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 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 creature is 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 on riyadh it intervened in yemen in two thousand and fifteen after the pro se president of the time was ousted by who the rebels the bill passed by congress has yet to be approved by donald trump he may veto the decision sara flounders the head of the international action center doesn't think trump 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 muhammad been solomon 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. 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. or if it was a female be back with more newsman say thirty three and a half minutes you watch much international.
