the u.k. prime minister begs europe for yet another delay to bragg's if this time until the end of june but some members say that they are ready to take a tough line. supporters of wiki leaks founder julian assange is holding a vigil outside the ecuadorian embassy in london after reports that he could be expelled from the building. and 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.

broadcasting live director our studios in moscow this is our international i'm sean thomas. in the u.k. prime minister has asked the european union for yet another bragg's a 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 archies on associate 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 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 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 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. 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 have said. once and the reason no reason to further extend those deadlines we hope london will provide more clarity brule 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 we would have to acknowledge that the u.k. chose to leave the you in a disorderly manner basically be used 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 the professor of european law francesco resumed toe believes that theresa may is hoping to scare parliament into approving her break the 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 backbenchers and particularly the g. hardcore and the do you pay with labor labor is the fear factor so but my deal or else that that's what the game is because essentially the labor party and kissed janice 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 mean i think that many people in the are really quite fed up with this i think many of them are absolutely astonished that the british political establishment the british system has thrown up such and such a mass. ecuador's embassador to the u.k. has refused to confirm rumors that join us 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 sense of being granted asylum almost seven

years ago our he. has been covering the story for us. 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 which the president strongly denies and although wiki leaks also denies any involvement in publishing the paper's murano house responded quite harshly to these allegations yet has been to many times mr sanchez violates disagreements you'll reach with him and his attorney and he can freely talk he can freely express himself but he cannot lie you will have private accounts cell phone leaks and gauges and espionage and hacking snooping on friends dongs ecuador hasn't

issued any official statements on the wiki leaks statement when it was first reported i could already in 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 joining this 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 and a subsequent arrest warrant issued that now the swedish cases have since been trumped but they're 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. custody fight documents his fear is that he will be pictured. then face extradition to. the fighting for extremists. expecting 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 or it's a violent. it's own asylum in the world and so. 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 so what they're trying to do here is a change to something illegal in a very empty handed 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 a songe 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 president moreno in ecuador himself is under huge pressure his popularity is strong

to about seventeen percent the new york times reported that president moreno had offered to handover a songe 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 bowed to american pressure and gave up the important principle that a citizen of its country a political refugee would be granted asylum should be handed over to a foreign power to face draconian charges cooked up by a secret grand very very grave step to take. commenting on the latest revelations former ecuadorian president rafael correa says there is plenty of evidence implicating lennon marino if assad does leave. these are huge case one of the most important serious corruption cases in history

proves we have a lot of proof it really really really is we have been in secret out the three since you were coming by whom i want and we have this is their current we know really who these are. a lot of. days where the. family for instance the burmans in the interim and ghost or in. a firm you two are . really me. i know the things but when these account will be open we will be able to see where does the money go on the looming must protect us i repeat there is no choice you asked and she said it was the audience he described she has seen this and she saw according to our constitution he cannot 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 they were meeting with. 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 second security council. members of the security council expressed their deep concern that the military to fifty they called on any forces to halt all military movements meanwhile 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 coin reports. here's what we need orderly took prisoner one hundred two one hundred forty five soldiers from tours 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 sukkot after some fighting earlier on how far ordered his forces to not open fire on civilians tripoli is controlled by the un backed government of prime minister fayyad is also raj the u.n. chief antonio gutierrez says he is leaving libya with quote heavy heart and deep concern i still hope to be possible to avoid love equals rotation in and out all tripoli. and united nations the main. available facilitates any political solution able to uni fight the libyan institution 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 our. president of brazil has caused widespread outrage during a visit to a holocaust museum in jerusalem on an official visit to israel. offered up some unconventional views on the political leanings of the nazi party. there is no doubt it's a socialist policy. national policy. from left wing slovenian philosopher. comparing modern day socialists to the nazis is absurd. the new. there. that basically is a version of socialism they say cynically it's just replace this glass stargell

that we'd be green. ok. no wonder this one should get this is not the same those who are of nazi. is that there were no then we're not against in nazi germany you don't just prove anything you want to plead guilty for what you are by. being a jew. if you think. one of the most disgusting strategy of temporary. these. and who criminalize the modern let's end to rewrite history in the sense of saving. the action not only of years raising the future socialist danger just look for example

in burnley send us crocodile and compared it to meet what was in your house or simply go to the you know militias social the markets. bernie sanders is not even. american prosecutors secretly gathered information on chinese tech giant huawei the revelations came to light at a hearing in the us federal court in the us government has warned of the company about its intentions to use this information in the future lawyers who have around five months to gather more data before a decision is taken on how to proceed. meanwhile former u.s. military officials have expressed their concern over chinese built five g. networks according to them china will be able to gather data through them potentially putting military operations which use the networks at risk and moreover these technologies could improve china's high tech authoritarianism. chinese

designed five g. networks will provide near persistent data transfer back to china that the chinese government could capture at will this is not our option or even that of our intelligence community but the directive of china's twenty seventeen intelligence law. well economics professor richard wolfe told us that the u.s. uses allegations against weiwei are all about corporate interests. every country in the world that uses high tech telecommunications is using the american version of those if you we can't trust which we really can't then the biggest country that runs the risk of others saying we're not going to use your equipment because we can't trust it that's the most dangerous thing for the united states will the chinese try to use their equipment you have to defend against that yes our country is doing that europeans yes but they've been doing

that to defend against american companies that have a much bigger role in the world and so the hypocrisy here has to help you understand it's theater it's not serious. the boss of us plane giant boeing has apologized after admitting a system failure contributed to two recent to crashes involving the company's new seven thirty seven max eight 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 of the ethiopian airlines flight three zero two accident investigation system known as an cas activated in response to erroneous angle of we own it and we know how to do it.

as 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 the problem first came to light two years ago. so you 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 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 now i 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 the. u.s. congress has passed

a bill against american involvement in saudi arabia's war in yemen both chambers invoked the so-called the war powers act to stop the u.s. from supporting riyadh without congressional approval but the motion has had to sort of some rather sneaky efforts to block it as r.t.c. was done off explain to. 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 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 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 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 rely on. riyadh intervened in yemen in two thousand and fifteen after the pro saudi 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 so flounders 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 the hollande and solomon so there is

a certain level of international embarrassment the saudis failure 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. former u.s. vice president joe biden has confronted claims against him of allegations of inappropriate touching he has 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 think kids i hope people i am graham going with my shoulders you can do this is.

why i'm going to move my shoulders. in minutes. all right after trump published the so-called doctored version of the video biden fired back saying that the president was on the job as always meanwhile one of the

women who has accused biden of 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 she could be a russian agent legal and media analyst lionel gave us his take on the story. i don't think it's doctored i think it's losing oh yes i think there was a clue lose you didn't hear because that makes isn't like spence's dr ed said you know it's a medium and it said take off it's photoshop remember those jib jab send people the . back it's not doctored it's a it's a parody my god this is this just strong rages behaviors and by the way in the under photos unless somebody talks about you know up a pat on the back we're talking about standing behind women and children and grabbing them almost of the poor going up to people and instead of say hi how are you like

boy it's good to see it neal good to see your pal what if i went up and grabbed your face in my hands i mean it's it's it's a bizarre. donald trump has said the u.s. and its rival spends too much on weapons and the money could be better spent elsewhere you speaking to the chinese vice premier at a meeting in the white house. you know china's spending a lot of money on military so always so is russia. and those three countries i think can come together and stop the spending and spend on things that maybe are more productive for the long term peace of. the took care of the military like it's never been taken care of before new

equipment is coming in and we're going to have the strongest military we've ever had by far i'm talking about tremendous defense capability offensive capability it's in space so we're going to do the space force. but that if we all got together and we can make these weapons. ironic. ironic in the extreme i mean this is a guy who says we shouldn't feed you sent troops to venezuela. which is ludicrous he's talking war all eternity and he wants to spend he went spend more money on nuclear weapons he wants to have a space force which will be hugely expensive he's striking about every possible way to reduce the military budget and then he turns around and says. he

hates to see so much spending on war i mean if you really didn't want to spend a lot on war and he wouldn't. take in the u.s. out of the i.n.f. treaty which is starting a whole new arms race in thirty one minutes that's when i'll be back with another look at your news you are watching art international stay with us. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. present for a single. day a super. start training very young. a months of intensive school.

reps. and they save lives. the good actor the night this is a comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents so thank you for joining me while the entire country focuses on trump and his book blue marie very few seem to care that are organized the murder machines continue their work around the world that's the term i like to use instead of military organized human murder machine you know that has a nice ring to it just kind of rolls off the tongue got it. doesn't sound so

boring and bono merely terry sounds like a super lame millipede you met at a party at military over there you didn't count if i hear one more capital gains tax joke i want to kill myself.
