killings of tell us what it says is a press strategy agreed by a court order in the united kingdom to be used in the event wiki leaks founder julian assange is extradited to the u.s. for the fuelling rumors the whistleblower is about to be expelled from the. police in paris use tear gas and arrest more than twenty people as protesters there gather for the twenty first consecutive weekend antigovernment yellow vests rally. and supporters and opponents of the venezuelan president are preparing for a new wave of protests on saturday while the opposition leader announces a new plan to topple nicolas maduro. i'm not new where you

live from. plus israel prepares for elections some vying to be prime minister a spot controlled to see what that the palestinian platforms. press strategy agreed on by ecuador and the u.k. in the event wiki leaks founder julian assange says extradited to the u.s. the whistleblower was granted asylum in ecuador as embassy in london in twenty twelve rumors are circulating is about to be expelled and potentially hounded by britain over to america according to wiki leaks ecuador sentence him to death that's precisely the fear is in store for him if he's extradited with the u.s. still furious about wiki leaks having release classified material i could also foreign minister meanwhile to twitter to dismiss rumors that his country would hand over the whistleblower just supporters say that he's doing crucial work and must be protected. but it was like it's not possible to mistreat someone this way just

because he revealed news that by their breach and powerful people as a publisher he has revealed all kinds of human rights violations war crimes are misinformation needs to get out united. states is is. trying to silence people wounded on the good of our revealing what's happening in julian signage it's just that the person who made it possible for those people to be heard much has changed in ecuador since the songs was granted asylum almost seven years ago including relations between washington they were trying to pick up a story. thank you for your gracious welcome that you have shown to be much. less true i just. never knew what a beautiful video what a beautiful welcome maybe that's the reason the us 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 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 while alive under lenin maranoa who was praised by mr korea even ended up calling his successor a traitor absolutely. to the united states is doing. what it

is 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 an 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 in espionage and hacking. as a real us imperialism. tough guy rafael corral was known as a staunch ally of it as well as nicolas maduro while for ecuador who don't receive the affection and support of the people he loved more chrissy. 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 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 to be potential believes that a song 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 courted 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 would be 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. yellow vest demonstrators once again gathering across france for what is the twenty first consecutive weekend of mass protests against the government in the capital crowds marching through the center of the city police have used tear gas against demonstrators there are reports twenty eight people have been arrested in paris alone of this the country's constitutional council an old government plans to ban certain individuals from protesting same the measure that would grant police excessive power part of a crackdown on the rioters were approved. 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 last ety 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 through france as part of measures to try. in control that week the 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 the. streets destroyed buildings set alight causing 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 for an end 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 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. as it happens but you. can feel. a. bit of. the work. but while some protesters may see this decision by the constitutional

council as a when it's not all music to there is the council about held other controversial elements of the break as new meaning that more severe penalties for organizers of a new thought. 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. in ski r.t. paris so you have us movement began last november driven by rising fuel prices under declining living standards for those first believed that the image of the protesters is too vague to succeed. lynch mobs fall into these rare oh. we. are going to be in view we. need to know

who. we should never forget that there will be. more open up. all of the people will leave and leave is the failure of the. man as well as opposition leader is vowing new tactical actions in his latest bid to oust president nicolas maduro on gotos first move calling for more nationwide protests today is something we've seen before however he has not gone into much more detail about what is new actions will involve his local journalists nor is our god from the capital caracas. we are here again where one of the most implemented took up positions sounds of protest today protesters are fighting against the blackouts that has been is striking venezuelans since march the seventh this was

a called me by one way to earlier this week he called to ben as well as to protest every time a basic service fails in the country also earlier this week he created anti arson or surpassing committees he plans to tour the country and plans to gain more support from the venezuelan still he said costs also the u.s. made a new set of sanctions against venice one of these years around one hundred and fifty one euro officials are sanction let's hear what mike pence has to say about the venezuelan situation at this moment the united states of america sanction venezuela state own oil company. and today. we're taking action against a vital source for the madeira regimes world. it is important to remark that also mature a call as mature a said that this is another intervention and from the us and no

other mendelian in the business is a bonus while up 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. dobson says that the latest sanctions won't actually make much difference. the latest round of sanctions sure what it will not have a great impact here in venezuela venezuela currently exports some of the twenty thousand to fifty thousand barrels of oil a day to cuba a much more pressing measure from the white house would have been to apply the same measure to for example when it's whale 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 minutes while i hope that military action is merely rhetoric and not seriously being considered by the white house however when you look at the history of u.s.

pressure in latin america and other areas of the world we can see that military action very overt and covert is definitely prominent so would i think have to be taken in a very real threat by all of those who are looking at the venezuela situation. israelis are gearing up to elect their next prime minister and as polling day looms one predominantly arab parties speaking people not to vote for those who have blood on their hands something some contenders are being boasting about in their campaign videos. you know i was like that's mary. i'm not. galileo playing for god now mary can i ask about the plan they didn't you know they say leave these little black people up like this it was literally the balls to school

yes you know. one of the runners in the race to be pm is former chief of the israeli defense forces benny gantz he released a series of short videos under the slogan only the strong wind in them he boasts about killing more than thirteen hundred terrorists including hamas military chief and talks of how he returned parts of gaza. quote to the stone ages in the twenty fourteen bombing campaign this comes at a time of heightened tension between israel and palestine last week gaza marked the first anniversary of the so-called march of return protest movement since the demonstrations began in march twenty eight hundred one hundred ninety five people have been killed almost twenty nine thousand injured israel maintains that casualties arise because of the actions of mass or in self-defense.

professor of political science at birzeit university in the west bank says that the shift to the right in israeli politics is being facilitated by geo political factors. the whole israeli general public is tending more towards that i hate that i tunes are flourishing 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 don't know what is regardless with elections or not with elections but with elections it would appear more to gain the support of the right wing and settlers votes so they have to show that they are tough on even the kind of government this is part of sometimes the hypocrisy of the international community quite clearly and 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 quite you know a huge message to the army to the israeli public 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 well powers are urging all sides in libya to deescalate as a commander from eastern libya or desist forces to take the capital tell you more after the break.

what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be. to the right to be this is what the three of the more people. interested in the why. question.

world powers called on warning signs in libya to cease austerities 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 activity called on the forces to halt all military movements meanwhile a commander from eastern libya. is now close to tripoli and has ordered these forces to take the capital the u.n.

backed government based in tripoli carried out several airstrikes targeting have to oust positions while hundred forty five of his troops have also been captured done cohen has more. our forces moved north coming as close as forty kilometers to tripoli by taking the village of silk after some fighting earlier on how to are ordered his forces to not open fire on civilians tripoli is control and chief antonio gutierrez says he is leaving libya with quote heavy heart and deep concern i still hope you will be possible to avoid the lobby call from station in and out all tripoli. and united nations as the main. the fail of all the 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 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 former u.s. diplomat jim generous police that the current chaos in libya is an inevitable result of the western intervention eight years ago 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 mary campaign for democracy and the mom early resolution to this where one government or the other brain which is its rival stands to be seen by turn children i don't see anything good happening in this country unfortunately. images of emerge online allegedly showing saudi arabia's first nuclear reactor

expose say the facility could already start operations 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's known to have been developing civilian nuclear energy will power is a concern to saudi arabia has not signed up to rules that prevent them from producing nuclear weapons the kingdom insisted has 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 purposefully in town to rein in activities in full compliance with international agreements in this matter and in coordination with the international nuclear energy agency of the country strongly criticized weapons the international atomic energy agency's visited iranian plants and confirmed that they are in full compliance with international law. because the director of the nuclear studies institute at american university in washington

thinks saudi arabia's nuclear activities should be closely monitored by international inspectors now 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 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 sastre.
