it's nine o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from our studio with me. to the program wiki leaks has obtained and published a press strategy for ecuador in the u.k. apparently connected to efforts to extradite its founder julian assange she was granted asylum in critters' embassy in london almost seven years ago it comes amid rumors he's about to be kicked out and potentially handed by britain to the americans the press to a strategy states that ecuador will claim he's broken quote invented terms of asylum which was granted to avoid his being sentenced to death in the u.s. while the u.k. will promise to ensure he's not killed if indeed extradited to the u.s. u.s. federal prosecutors are investigating wiki leaks over the release of classified u.s. documents ecuador in turn has dismissed room is it will hand over his supporters

say the whistleblower is doing important work and must be protected. it's not possible to mistreat someone this way just because he revealed news that by their beach and powerful people and as a publisher he has revealed all kinds of human rights violations war crimes are misinformation needs to get out united states says that they're defending democracy around the world and they're not defending democracy in. the united states is is. trying to silence people. who are revealing what's happening and julian assange is just so the person who made it possible for those people to be heard much as changed in ecuador since the song was granted asylum in its london embassy almost seven years ago including relations between crito and washington. takes up the threat. thank you for the gracious welcome you shown to be my wife sharon on our very first visit to ecuador

we are. they should treat you like this. what a beautiful video what a beautiful welcome maybe that's the reason the u.s. vice president was pacified enough not to call out names when he brought up the dark times in the u.s. equity or friendship while visiting president lenin moran oh in quito price your election our nations did experience ten difficult years where our people always folk loose but our government drifted apart though that was clearly a jab at someone who proudly stood up against america's whip cracking hand while in charge of the small south american nation just think of how rafa korea sheltered joy in a songe what a slap in washington's face that was imo though with given diplomatic asylum to do

in the sun softly exhausting all means who want to guarantee that he's not extradited to third countries which could put his life in danger to life of misters sons is a true it's a life sentence which is being dead live under lenin maranoa who was are radically praised by outgoing leader chorale at the election the tide has clearly changed mr correia even ended up calling his successor a traitor absolutely. to the united states he's doing. what they did let's look at what he could have meant by that. the first signal joyous could soon be shown the door at the embassy in london was when the american media reported president moran oh had once met donald trump's former campaign boss paul man afford it was claimed mr moran no was trying to negotiate concessions from the u.s. like debt relief and exchange for. kicking the whistleblower out back then would

lead to nothing but today it's clear he's not a fan of assad yet us bases to get out too many times mr sanchez violates the cream and we keep leaks and gauges an espionage and hacking. as a real us imperialism hating tough guy rafael corral was known as a staunch ally of it as well as nicolas maduro while for ecuador's current president to someone else quite well known as the true leader in caracas i have spoken with president hu on going i've invited him to ecuador to receive the affection and support of a people he loved more crecy. mr chorale was on a mission to rid his country of uncle sam's folks step by step he first refused to extend the lease of an ecuadorian air base to the americans beyond two thousand and nine and then told all u.s. military attaches to leave the country and two thousand and fourteen only

a few years later sam is coming back the governments of ecuador and the united states decided to resume bilateral military cooperation training and assistance to contribute to ecuador ability to combat shared threats. wonder corrals moves were annoying those in charge in d.c. to say the least so starting from two thousand and fourteen millions of us aid cash stopped flowing ketones way under mr moran open the box of freedom are slowly starting to find their way back today i'm pleased to announce that the united states who support that effort to root out corruption merely want to have million dollars to support your efforts. to end corruption and strengthen civil society in ecuador it seems it didn't take long since the right man came in human rights campaign and paid to tatchell believe it is being used as

a bargaining chip in relations between equitable and really less. 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 to about seventeen percent the new york times reported that president moreno had offered to hand over 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 it could all be proud to american pressure and gave up the important principle that a citizen of its country a political refugee being 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 will be

a very very grave step to take. france is expected to see the twenty first consecutive we can defend government yellow vest protests on saturday ahead of this the country's constitutional council and now the government plans to ban certain individuals from protesting saying the measure would grant police excessive powers but other parts of the crackdown on the rioters were approved artie's charlotte de penske explains. a big slap in the face for the french government as the country's constitutional council has ruled that named yellow vest protesters can't be banned from taking part in the continued demonstrations they canceled the last word on this said plans to give the power to authority would give officials excessive latitude the provisions leave therefore it is too much leeway in assessing of the reasons did me justify the ban so called anti breakers' law was passed here in france as part of measures detroit in control that weekend protests

that have rocked the country protests that often. disintegrate into writing and see as clashes with the police so much so that some cities have banned them. because. the. streets destroyed buildings set alight cause a move to cycles torched the damage has cost of two hundred million euros so the french economy with business is tearing their hair out even french banks waded into the debate calling for an end for more than four months hundreds of local branches through central links and local life has been targeted vandalized pillaged and bank offices physically threatened it is time for everyone to condemn acts committed

against the bank we must quickly put a stop to this unbridled and unjustified violence and it's not just the destruction of towns and cities that has made the headlines since november seventeenth thousands of people have been injured some suffering life changing injuries. the cab driver if you look at. it if you. take. it up. but while some protesters may see this decision by the constitutional council as a when it's not all music to there it is the council of held other controversial elements of the breakers new meaning that more severe penalties for organizers of

north why stay. and for those who cover their faces during violent protests well police now have the right to search individuals and vehicles near demonstrations in a bid to prevent objects being brought in that could be used as weapons. arty paris yellow vests movement began last november driven by rising fuel prices and a decline in living standards philosopher slappers jack says the protesters aims are too vague to succeed lynch mobs fall into this fray of. this. really slow you wish to remain neutral the old one who will. we should never forget that.

opened up. all the people and still perceived very little of the. well powers have called on the warring sides in libya to cease hostilities and 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 ellyn the forces to halt all military movements meanwhile a commander from eastern libya khalifa haftar is now outside tripoli and he told it is forces to take the capital than cohen has more on the situation on the ground. have to our forces move north coming as close as forty kilometers to tripoli by taking the village of sukkot after some fighting earlier on have to ordered his

forces to not open fire on civilians tripoli is controlled by the un backed government of prime minister five years also raj the u.n. chief antonio gutierrez says he is leaving libya with quote heavy heart and deep concern i still hope you can be possible to avoid a lot of the cultural tradition in and out all tripoli. and united nations remain. available to facilitate any political solution able to uni fi the libyan institutions to briefly explain the situation in libya the country has been torn apart by warring factions since late libyan leader 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 only u.s. diplomat james chasse believes the current chaos in libya is an inevitable result of the western intervention eighteen years ago. this is what happens when you have violent regime change from the outside in a country and 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 merry campaign for democracy and democracy for the libyan people and once it got them what years of chaos years of killing years of civil war this is simply the latest round in it whether we will see some early resolution to those where one government or the other thing which is its rival stands to be seen but until then i don't see anything good happening in this country unfortunately. american prosecutors secretly gathered information on

chinese tech giant huawei the reputation came to light at a hearing in the us federal court the us government has warned the company about its intentions to use this information in the future lawyers have around five months to gather more data before decisions taken on how to proceed. meanwhile former u.s. military officials have expressed concern at the chinese build five g. networks according to them china will be able to gather data through them potentially putting military operations which used in that what's at risk and more of these technologies could improve china's high tech authoritarianism. chinese design five g. networks will provide new persistent data transfer back to china that the chinese government could capture at will this is not our opinion and even that of our intelligence community but the directive of china's two thousand and seventeen intelligence law. yes allegations against weiwei have been

a major source of contention with china since the arrest of a company executive in canada last december on charges including money laundering and bank fraud since then washington has encouraged allies to ban huawei from building five g. networks but this week the secretary general of the u.n. internet and telecoms agency suggested that the u.s. allegations may have more to do with politics and trade than security concerns economist richard wolfe says the americas are being hypocritical. every country in the world that uses high tech telecommunications is using the american version of the old 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 the that's the most dangerous thing for the united states will the chinese try to use their equipment for something other than

what it's designed to do probably will 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 fear or it's not serious only u.s. vice president joe biden faces accusations of misconduct more on that story after this break. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and

a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways of the flying here. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back to the program former u.s.

vice president joe biden has confronted claims against him of allegations of inappropriate touching he's issued a video to explain his behavior and acknowledge it could make some people uncomfortable but it seems not everyone has been taking his message seriously. well.

after trump tweeted the don't did version of the video biden fired back saying trump was being presidential as always meanwhile one of the women who accused biden of misconduct has found her own behavior under scrutiny the journalist for the atlantic highlighted the woman's old posts about russia and vladimir putin quickly provoking she could be a russian agent. gave us his take on the story. i don't think it's doctored i think it's cold luzhin oh yes i did there was a lose you didn't hear because that makes isn't quite 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. back it's not doctored it's a it's

a parody my god this is the straw just straw rages behaviors and by the way in the on doctored photos less somebody talks about you know up a pat on the back or to have us standing behind women and children and grabbing them all most of the poor 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 bizarre. it's right it's carrying up to elect the next prime minister and as polling day names one predominantly our party's banking vote is not too unlike those who have blood on their hands something some contend is a boasting about in a campaign that is. it's

murder. i'm not going to buy us a little girl a whole plane for god now because i'm sick of all the families you know they say leave these little i've never looked back to. sleep. yes you know. one of the runners in the race for the premiership is former i.d.f. chief benny gantz he released a series of short videos of the slogan only the strong wind in them he boasts about killing over sixteen hundred terrorists including a hamas military chief and beams about returning parts of gaza to the stone ages in the twenty fourteen bombing campaign this comes at a time of heightened tensions between israel and palestine last week gaza month the one year anniversary of the so-called march of return says the protests began in march twenty eighth one hundred ninety five people have been killed and almost twenty nine thousand injured israel maintains that casualties arise because of the

actions of hamas or in self-defense. the. saugor nima a professor of political science had to besides university says the shift to the right in israeli politics is being facilitated by geo political as. the whole israeli public is to dig more to us the right that i tunes out of florida sheen and the other reason which is equally important we are talking about around between

seven hundred thousand two hundred thousand settlers in the west bank and those that have a huge influence on the israeli parties and on the israeli society itself so the tendency towards the right tendency for more violence against the palestinians is a quite natural thing is that i know what days we got this with elections or not with actions but with elections it would appear more to gain the support of the right wing votes so they have to show that they are tough on even the government this is part of sometimes the hypocrisy of the international community quite clearly when we are talking specially about europe they said it quite clearly a lot of interest as europeans with the americans is far more important to us than the human rights in palestine so it's quite a quite you know a huge message to the army to the israeli public that you can do whatever you like with the person it can violate however you want and no one is going to hold you accountable for that's not the news this hour back to around thirty minutes had no

updates at the state but it's now phone redacted tonight with li cam which is next here on authentication. there was a crack she used to do crack when i was ok. he was like oh yes i think so you know like what i needed when i was a baby but i had a child. there's always been single mothers and african american community service and same for you. i think it's more in chinese teenagers having kids and you can expect a fourteen or. fifteen your first daughter now order at four and if you're far there any chalo. passing lost their place and. my car end up breaking down and i was unable to get to work on time so they

let me go in with my paycheck that i bring home i have barely enough to pay my car insurance. gas in my car. in the world of political much making the european union has long put values before wealth as its most desirable and tribute. to the time it takes for the e.u. to make a policy decision china can set up a whole new industry all values that's attractive to potential partners. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already is several generations of them so i just

got this memo from a certain branches off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy miss for. this if you. use the first point of the purest we're just going forward from the truth. but to just we do want to take you to go smash the car boat off. the trolley at the top of. the plane to.

the looks of the first. little boat will support you but if you put explosives that you believe. to shoot into my goodness me. post someone to believe as. you please feel to. the be. true all. the while trying to act of the night this is a comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. thank you for joining me while the entire country focuses on trump and his

book blue marie very few seem to care that our organized 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 it kind of rolls off the tongue god it. doesn't really tearing sound so boring and been known. sounds like a super lame millipede you met at a party at military over there is an account if i hear one more capital gains tax joke i'm going to kill myself. so let's just go on with organized human murder machine shall i ten months ago i covered how twenty one trillion dollars i got an account. for at the pentagon over the past twenty years don't try to think about the number twenty one trillion because you'll pass out and hit your head on a desk ok if your salary is forty thousand dollars

a year in order to earn it twenty one trillion it would take you five hundred and twenty five million years. at which point you can even enjoy the new jet ski you bought because you're a brain in a jar. since i last brought you that report there has been a little more coverage of it the nation magazine did an article for and did another article in just a few weeks ago and that tell you wrote about it in-depth in rolling stone then in a few a few months ago i brought you another report about the huge number of whistleblowers who have been retaliated against at the pentagon according to the government accountability office the g.a.o. but you already know this i've covered it before so why am i bringing it up again well now the g.a.o. has come out with a new report showing the total number of whistleblower complaints over the past five years at the department of defense sorry organized human.
