i'm going to talk about football not. going to the. by the way ways and that's life here. wiki leaks obtains what it claims is a press strategy by ecuador. to be used in the event its founder julian assange is extradited to the u.s. further fueling rumors he whistleblower is of brown to be booted out of his embassy in london. the un security council called on libya's rival factions to avoid bloodshed as a commander from the east of the country advances his troops towards the capital tripoli. for her usual i'm not at all where you are from. prepares for election the some of those vying for the prime minister a real. controversy with their. homes.

it's midday here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from our studio with me today welcome to the program. wiki leaks claims to have obtained a press strategy agreed on by acro in the u.k. in the event its founder julian assange is extradited to the u.s. the whistleblower was granted asylum in ecuador as embassy in london almost seven years ago and you can see live pictures now from outside the ecuadorian embassy in london where he's been residing for nearly seven years room is all circulating that he's about to be kicked out potentially handed by britain to the americans according to wiki leaks ecuador. broke the terms of his asylum with the u.k. giving assurances it won't let the u.s. sentence him to death 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. but it was the idea it's not possible to mistreat someone this way just because he revealed news that but they're big and powerful people and as a publisher he has revealed all kinds of human rights violations war crimes this information needs to get out united states says that they're defending democracy around the world and they're not just building democracy in. the united states is is. trying to silence people for the good of our revealing what's happening and julian signage is just the person who made it possible for those people to be heard and much has changed in ecuador since she was granted asylum in the london embassy almost seven years ago including relations

between crito and washington and takes up that threat. thank you for the gracious for you shown to be my wife sharon on our very first visit to ecuador we are. true i just. never know 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 lead in morocco in quito price your election our nations to experience ten difficult years where our people always folk 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 assange what a slap in washington's face that was imo though with given diplomatic asylum to do in the sunshine through exhausting all means to guarantee that he's not next to die just to third countries. could put his lunch in danger who wants of misters sons is a true is a life sentence which is being dead under lenin maranoa who was praised by outgo and leader chorale at the election the tide has clearly changed mr carette even ended up calling his successor a traitor absolute. to the united states is doing. what it is let's look at what he could have meant by that. the first signal doing this 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 though was trying to negotiate concessions

from the u.s. like debt relief and exchange for kicking the whistleblower out back then that led 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 and spin arjan how cute. as a real us imperialism hating tough guy rafa carette was known as a staunch ally of that as well as nicolas maduro well for ecuador's current president 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 in 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 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 so it seems it didn't take long since the right man came in

in their eyes campaign a pay to attach i'll believe the songes being used as a bargaining chip in relations between ecuador and the us. i would suggest it's highly likely that the us government has been putting pressure on the government of ecuador and we know that president morano in ecuador himself is under huge pressure his popularity has slumped to about seventeen percent the new york times reported that president moreno had offered to handover a songe to the us and 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 proud to american pressure and gave up the important principle that a citizen of its country a political refugee had been granted asylum should be handed over to a foreign power to face the county and 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 weekend of anti-government yellow vest protests on saturday ahead of this the country's constitutional council an old 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 ati's shallot 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 council the last word on this said plans to give the power to authority would give officials excessive latitude the provisions leave their forty's too much leeway in

a session 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 week the protests that have rocked the country protests that often disintegrate into writing and fierce clashes with the police so much so that some cities have banned them. streets destroyed to build. things set alight cause a motorcycle's 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 cooling and and for more than four months hundreds of local branches

through essential 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. from a few. feet. to the. right. but while some protesters may see this decision by the constitutional council as

a when it's not all music to that is the council of held other controversial elements of the breakers new meaning more severe penalties for organizers of north royce demonstrations and for those who cover their faces during violent protests well police now have the right to search individuals and vehicles in the demonstrations in a bid to prevent objects being brought in that could be used as weapons. auti paris. yeah a vast movement began last november driven by rising fuel place prices and decline in living standards for lots of. x. as the protesters aims are to say to succeed let's not stroll into this dread of seeking. gold are going to be yes they protest but. i'm going to sleep low do you wish to remain

neutral the old one who will. be there we should never forget that baseball. was opened up. all the road people received and still perceive this 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 their deep concern that the military to please call to ellyn a forces to halt all military movements meanwhile a commander from eastern libya khalifa haftar is now outside tripoli and his office forces to take the capital than cullen has moved on the situation. our forces moved

north coming as close as forty kilometers to tripoli by taking the village of soup after some fighting earlier on how 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 fight 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 as allied to huffed are. well a u.s. diplomat came john believes the current chaos in libya is and navigable result of the western intervention eight years ago 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 merry campaign for democracy and democracy for the libyan people and what has 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. israelis again ring up to elect the next prime minister and as polling day looms one predominantly our party is banking that is not to elect those who have blood on their hands something some contend as a boasting about in that campaign that is. luckily i knew i was not going to it's murder their government drove out of her usual round i'm not going to wear you miss our little girl a whole plane for god now because. of all the families you know they say leave these little i've not followed but. at least it'll be a good school. 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 under the slogan only the strong wind in them he boasts

about killing over 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 marked the one year anniversary 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.

the. i. saw a professor of political science at birzeit university says the shift to the right in israeli politics is being facilitated by geo political factors. the whole israeli public is to dig more to us that i it's that i twigs are flawed ashamed and the other reason which is equally important we are talking about around between seven hundred thousand and eight hundred thousand settlers and that was by 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 regardless with elections or knuckle elections 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 and we are talking specially about europe they said that 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 the quite the you know the huge message to meet with the israeli public that you can do whatever you like with the best and it can violate however you want and no one is going to hold you accountable for that report say saturday arabia has almost completed its first new can't react which could go into operation within a year on that story after this break. bernie made off out on me and said if you don't buy into my ponzi scheme on going to shoot my donahue even though the game was well known to be

a ponzi scheme you see it investigated bernie madoff police twice before they found the boss of them and they it was a well known ponzi scheme invested by well known people imagine bernie had an army now apply that to the u.s. dollar the u.s. dollar is a ponzi scheme why do people buy the u.s. dollar because if they don't the u.s. military said and they're obliterated whether it's iraqi or libya or some other place like this around and so that's what we're going to set a new york times rightly so the u.s. dollar is worthless it's backed by. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to the politics. i'm sure. breaks it.

welcome back to the program images have emerged online allegedly showing saudi arabia's 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 the year riyadh is known and to have been developing a civilian nuclear energy is a concern a saudi arabia has not signed up to rules that prevent them from producing nuclear weapons riyadh says it's no plans to use for military purposes. we would like to clearly and categorically deny the claims regarding the nuclear facility recently set up at the kingdom doors is center for science and technology the purpose and in terms 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 developing its nuclear energy sector accusing it of intending to produce nuclear weapons but the international atomic energy agency has visited iranian plants and confirmed that they are in full compliance with international law. we discussed the issue with peter director of the nuclear studies institute at the american university he says saudi arabia is nuclear activity should be closely monitored by international nuclear inspectors. you know and it's 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 minder. hopefully the world's nuclear fuel suppliers will not

provide fuel for saudi arabia until it does come into compliance. protocols the saudis have some technological capability they're looking to expand their nuclear energy development and that and the thing that frightens many observers leading me is that they would actually use nuclear energy development as a cover for developing nuclear weapons if that happens in the middle east and. it's president donald trump is often accused of making the world a more dangerous place for example with his unconventional approach to nuclear brinkmanship with north korea but it seems he's trying to rebrand a little at least if his latest remarks to the chinese vice premier and by. you know china spending a lot of money on military so are we so is russia. and those three countries i

think can come together to stop the spending and spend on things that maybe. for the long term peace. to cure the military like it's never been taken care of before new equipment is coming in we're going to have the strongest military we've ever had by far i'm talking about. defense capability offensive capability which in space so we're going to do the space force. that are. much better if we all got together anything better left i don't. know. ironic. ironic in the extreme i mean this is a guy who says we shouldn't feed unison troops to venezuela. which is ludicrous

he's talking war all the time 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 talking about every possible way to reduce the military budget and then he turns around and says. he hates to see so much pentagon war i mean if he really didn't want to spend a lot more he wouldn't. take in the us out of the i.n.f. treaty which is starting a whole new arms race. back in around thirty minutes and more are things that don't stay with us for the kinds of reports.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to in foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. young elephants have come to us. especially brutal bludging incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mothers be killed but also be caught up unfortunately. i do believe the elephant smile i see it's a nice little ones they all say show the expression changes. in

the. mind and there was a crime scene used to do crack when i was a little kid my dad he was like. us to be so you know like what i needed when i was a baby but i had a bad childhood. there's always been single mothers and african-american communities ever since slavery. i think it's more of these teenagers having kids in you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for him to be a father and he's a check out. we actually lost our place and. my car you know breaking down. i was unable to get time sonny let me get my

paycheck that i bring home i have to pay my car insurance. the gas in my car. going to be like you took notes this is yours you just took the first one to the purest biggest conformal from the hundreds. that's your sickness would do a good. thing if it was national. to put the put you. to live. it's a look it was performed. there to full support scoop one of these critics one of the biggest music. because they've been. pushing into my for the

smear. over. the phone with someone new to be renewed because we've both of them still if you believe that easy.

oh i am max keiser this is the kaiser report truly electrifying experience right stacy well we do have quite an electrifying experience with this episode because i have a lot of charts and they're all from bank of america michael hartnett so. the headline is coming from zero hedge hitchhiker's guide to the investment universe twenty stunning market statistics ten years after central banks launched the greatest monetary experiment in history pushing rates to zero or lower in an attempt to reflate away in the unsustainable debt load while purchasing twelve trillion dollars in securities to prop up risky assets we are back where we started

with deflation once again emerging as the biggest threat to the world over ten trillion dollars and sovereign bonds yielding below zero percent and after a disastrous attempt at renormalizing monetary policy the market is convinced the fed will cut rates in the coming months so with this in this environment bank of america's michael hartnett has published its latest hitchhiker's guide to the investment universe and ok. you want to stimulate the economy do you say. increase wages or be you increase the price of fine art being sold at sotheby's that's the question the federal reserve bank and all central banks around the world choose b. they want to stimulate the economy by jacking up the price of fine art and other collectibles and other assets that are held by an extraordinarily small portion of

the world's population who haven't worked in generations they're wrong.
