it's eleven o'clock am in moscow you're watching r t international live from our studio with me welcome 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 the whistleblower who was granted asylum in ecuador as embassy in london almost seven years ago and room is a circulating that he's about to be kicked out and potentially hounded by britain to the americans the leaks press 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. docu. ecuador in turn has dismissed missives 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 our misinformation needs to get out united states says that they're defending democracy around the world and they're not doing 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 has changed in ecuador since his songe was granted asylum and it's london embassy almost seven years ago including relations between quito and washington elite the trenker takes up the thread. thank

you for the gracious welcome you shown to be my wife sharon on our very first visit to ecuador we are going. to play should treat you nice. 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 governments 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 julian 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 to guarantee that he's not extradited to third countries which could put his life in danger who life of misters sons is a driscoll the life sentence which is being dead live under lenin maranoa who was praised by outgoing leader chorale at the election the tide has clearly changed mr carette even ended up calling his successor a traitor modernists an absolute need to. stay. where they do 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 maranoa 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 rafa carette was known as a staunch ally of it as well as nicholas 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 help the bucks 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 so it seems it didn't take long since the right man came in.

human rights campaigner peter tatchell believes the sand 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. 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 principle that a citizen of the country a political refugee being granted asylum should be handed over to a foreign power to face to coney 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. france is expected to see the twenty first consecutive weekend event a government you know vast protest on saturday ahead of this 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 as charlotte to 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 the 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. and to break his law was passed here in france as part

of measures to try and control the weekend protests that have rocked the country protests that often disintegrate into writing and see as clashes with the place so much so that some cities have banned the i. pad. streets destroyed buildings satellite cars and motorcycles 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 a 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. but while some protesters may see this decision by the constitutional council as a win it's not all. music today is the council of held other controversial elements

of the anti breakers law meaning that more severe penalties for organizers of new threats demonstrations and for those who cover their faces during violent protests well police now have the right just 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 for the office says the protesters aims are too vague to succeed. lynch mobs fall into this fray of. yes they pull this. really slow do you wish

to remain you know billy baldwin who will. we should never forget there. will be. opened up. all the people will just leave and deal is this really. well powers and 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 he called on the forces to halt all military movement meanwhile a commander from eastern libya khalifa haftar is now outside tripoli and has ordered his forces to take the capital down cohen has more on the situation. after forces move north coming as close as. forty kilometers to tripoli by taking the

village of sukkot after some fighting earlier on have tar 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 un chief antonio gutierrez says he is leaving libya with quote heavy heart and deep concern i still hope you can be possible to avoid love equals rotation in and out all tripoli. and united nations the main. 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 of the merged 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 believes the current chaos in libya is an inevitable result of the western intervention eighteen sicko. this is what happens when you have violent regime change from the outside in the 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 but years of years of killing years of civil war this is simply the latest round in it whether we will see some early resolution to this 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. israelis are gaming up to

elect the next prime minister and as putting to a looms one predominantly arab party is begging voters a not to elect those who have blood on their hands something some contend is a boasting about in the campaign video. he was not going out to marry them government that are sort of how i mean shit on i'm not going to buy you miss i'm going i hope they invite god now i met a guy i think about the maybe the oh they slightly satan says you know i have never been a villain but. instead of going to school yes you know that. one of the run is in the race for the premiership i.d.f. chief benny gantz he released to save is a shill videos and the slogan only the strong when and then he posts about killing

about thirteen 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. of history of the so-called march of return since the protests began in march twenty eight hundred 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.

saw them a professor of political science had their zine university says the shift to the bryant in israeli politics is being facilitated by political fact as. the whole israeli public is to dig more towards the right. and the other reason which is equally important we are talking about around seven hundred thousand two hundred thousand settlers in the west bank and those that have a huge influence on this very parties and will dissuade you society itself so the tendency towards the right tendency for more violence against the palestinians is a quite natural thing know what days we got this with elections or not with actions but with elections it would appear more to gain the support of. votes so they have to show that they are there for even the government this is part of sometimes

the hypocrisy of the international community is quite clear. about europe they said it's quite a lot of interest as europeans with americans is far more important to us human rights in palestine so it's quite a quite you know a huge message to the army to this republic that you can do whatever you like with the person who can violate however you want and no one is going to hold you accountable for that. reports say saudi arabia has almost completed its first nuclear reactor which should go into operation within a year or more not after this break. you know world of big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than

ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufactured consensus public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round. the one percent. nor middle of the room sick.

for the program images happen much online allegedly showing signs of abuse first nuclear reactor experts say the facility could start operations and within a year. i would guess they could have it all done with the roof in place and the electricity turned on within a year. riyadh is known to have been developing civilian nuclear energy but world powers are concerned saudi arabia has not signed up to rules that prevent them from producing nuclear weapons riyadh says it is no plans to use nuclear power for military purposes. we would like to clearly and categorically deny the claims regarding the nuclear energy facility recently set up with the king of outdoors this center for science and technology the purpose and intent of this small facility is to engage in strictly peaceful scientific research educational and

training activities in full compliance with international agreements in this matter and in coordination with the international nuclear energy agency. saudi arabia is one of the countries that strongly criticized iran for dell of developing its nuclear energy sector you accusing it of intending to produce nuclear weapons but the international atomic energy agency has visited any implants and confirmed that they are in full compliance with international law. we discussed the issue with peter couche nic director of the nuclear studies institute at the american university he says saudi arabia's nuclear activities should be closely monitored by international nuclear inspectors. and is complying with the nuclear deal why not have it the same safeguards in saudi arabia that we have now in iraq the same degree of inspections the same degree of surveillance and same

degree of minor. hopefully the world's nuclear suppliers. you want from saudi arabia until it does come into compliance with the protocols the saudis have some technological capability they're looking to expand their nuclear energy development and that the thing that frightens many observers including me is that they would actually use nuclear energy development as a cover for developing nuclear weapons if that happens in the belief. that israel is an opposition leader. is the following what he rather vaguely describes as new tactical actions in his bid to oust president nicolas maduro starting though with something we've seen before more nationwide protests on saturday quite is a new master plan that has been dubbed operation freedom and will seek to mobilize the country against the government the pretender also intends to talk venezuela to

rouse up support and as he regards as a quite a will set up special anti. patient committees which will work to spread his message far and wide. but my dearest government isn't facing pressure just from within but also from without the u.s. has imposed a new round of sanctions once again targeting the country's oil industry the venezuelan government has labeled the decision cynical. the government of the bolivarian republic categorically rejects the latest us attack on the venezuelan oil industry and its economic sovereignty venezuela believes it's unacceptable cynical and criminal of donald trump's administration to take measures that violate international law as well as economic and commercial principles the penalties target thirty for all time because by fantasy when his main state owned oil concern they also banned american businesses from dealing directly with that firm earlier

the u.s. blacklisted more than one hundred fenice walen officials and organizations journalist paul dobson says the latest sanctions won't actually make what difference. the latest round of sanctions sure what it will not have a great impact here in venezuela venezuela currently exports somewhere between twenty thousand to fifty thousand barrels of oil a day to cuba a much more pressing merger from the white house would have been to go by the same measure to for example when it's well and oil exports to china which are increasing every day and have a serious impact on venezuela books more across the political divide here in venezuela i hope that military action is merely rhetoric and it's not seriously being considered by the white house however when you look at the history of the u.s. pressure in latin america and other areas of the world we can see that military action very overt or covert is definitely a problem and so would i think have to be taken into a very real threat by all of those who are looking at the venezuela situation.

now investigation into the deadliest bike in the u.s. has been closed despite hundreds of arrests having been made there's been no convictions over the killings of nine people at a texan restaurant in twenty fifteen and it seems the case has thrown up more than just tensions between the two involved. to. her.

maybe if the patrols will secure these indeed be trolls use these toy would only result in the waste of time effort and resilience is to try the district attorney failed to take that faction for reasons that i do not know to this day. i absolutely disagree with the overall result as well as several statements and accusations within mr johnson's press release however it is certainly his decision on how to proceed with any case in the district attorney's office. the news this hour i'll be back around thirty minutes with more updates but do stay with up with us for going underground which is up next here on alt international
