the system with. that's a lack of empathy there that takes a certain kind of myopia and stupidity to work yourself with. the headlines this hour julian sanchez facing charges both in the u.s. and the u.k. the whistle blows alleged links to russia are again coming under the spotlight. over seventy people are reported to deal with the escalating conflict in the country and the german justice minister is rounded on arctic giving an interview to r.t. doig sheen which she mentions close ties between berlin and moscow. it's not too it's a private enterprise and we as a government do not interfere i also do not consider it appropriate to comment on u.s. plans in any way. other

than welcome it's just going to eight o'clock in the morning at this saturday you watching. now from breaching bayati hacking government computers wiki leaks whistle blow to the sun just facing a number of charges both in the u.k. and the u.s. after. his asylum but that's not all he's accused of. i want to ask you about something bad when he was the cia cia director said he called weekly leaks state house intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia do you agree with that characterization yes we strongly agree with that but it's for the justice department is now seeking extradition and we're going to bring julian assange to justice but it's not the first time russia has been mentioned in connection with this currently he's not been charged with anything russia related. as the. alleged collusion may nevertheless become part of the case against.

it did say it years in the ecuadorian embassy and he was right america is seeking extradition and if you watch enough t.v. you surely know why his russian connections can we address the question at hand and that is whether or not you can say definitively that russia had no part in this. was trying to sabotage the twenty six thousand election and have these facts in front of them saw assad as an agent agent or at least a provocateur or a collaborator with the russian government tonight there is growing evidence that russia is using wiki leaks as a delivery vehicle for hacked e-mails and other information it was everywhere on every pundit slips for years assad's weekly spew to russia meddling echoed and echoed by everyone important enough to be on camera like us leaders it's time to call out wiki leaks for what it really is

a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia but they've acted in concert with the russians to interfere on our elections to help you pack into took that information from the russians at least in a way to disrupt our campaigns and twenty sixteen i don't think that's it's not right to legal and i hope mr and as much as possible gestures should come to cuba and so forth is for all. russian meddling but if you go by their word he's a covert k.g.b. asset on a secret mission to topple the united states that is if you watch enough t.v. if you don't if you actually read the indictment against in the charges no mention of russia not a mention of elections of meddling e-mails or grand plots to topple the united states his crime allegedly was that he worked with chelsea manning to obtain classified documents that showed us. human rights abuses in iraq and

afghanistan the u.s. government house to. state all the charges they tend to charge mr sashi with. extraditions. the field mr sargent's to us that lands on. a power point united states government or bring their charges just. consider this if the us had any of it anything tying as signs to russia or meddling or conspiracy do you think they would have shown it to mentioned it this is it this is the only charge he faces and because of how extradition works they can't add any more charges if they get him. the extradition quote. needs to know at that stage what except charges are for example

. in the extradition court u.k. or not extradite somebody to west if the charges that are probably going to. know existed in case there's no charges. so the extradition court makes very clear we're only going to extradite like those charges that are sent to us and our. we just like it's great that you're such. a statesman people are all going. off on no six six six are. going by what the experts are saying us doesn't have much of a case and that ass and is found guilty it sets a nasty precedent where journalists can be jailed for posting classified material no matter how vital like the manning files.

are. going to. deliver the goods if you get a clue. does the n.s.a. collect any data a million from those who are. wiki

leaks it walks like a hostile intelligence or talks like a hot cold turkey. as remarkable as it may be the u.s. is now saying that exposing us human rights abuses wanted murder committed by the us military exposing that is wrong serious than the abuses and murder themselves chelsea formally bradley manning was freed by a bomber but judging by the toxicity on t.v. in washington as sands shouldn't be too hopeful the. you never know trump is trump wiki leaks i love what you like. what are gassy of their state police forcibly removed from the ecuadorian embassy in london this year so it came

to him of his ecuadorian citizenship and with his asylum which was granted almost seven years ago ecuador says the. the terms of his asylum in multiple way and the country's foreign minister ricardo patino the current ecuadorian government are struck a deal with washington. what is clear here is that moreno who is currently the president of ecuador has reached an agreement with the u.s. the greek to loans from the international monetary fund and an exchange agreed to things hand over julian or songe and end the process of a latin american entered ration moreno has betrayed his homeland your loud british police to enter our embassy the embassy which we've been defending since two thousand and twelve it's clear that the death penalty still exists in the us i repeat it's public information they commit barbaric acts of torture against those

they consider an enemy clearly julian assange is an enemy to them that's exactly why we gave him political asylum. he's going underground spoke to a scientist long time legal adviser geoffrey robertson he explained why he believes that breach of bio was not the real reason behind the arrest you can watch the full interview later on saturday. the home secretary said to germany ahead of the release of further or further arrest of jury as i said he's right be facing justice in the u.k. where he's not facing justice in the u.k. other than for breach of bail which is a very minor offense usually dealt with by a guy or a few weeks in prison these politicians so he may be stirring up the judges to give him a couple of months but the justice that he's facing in is justice or in

justice in america which wants him and has charges really for up to forty five years imprisonment the trump argument is this that the first amendment which protects journalists for him asli only a prize to american journalist and doesn't apply to any foreign journalist even those working for american papers in fact driven goodale who was the hero of the pentagon papers case he was the lawyer for the new york times he came out of retirement the other day and he said we're sondra case however much you dislike because. his case is the most important for media freedom since the pentagon papers case one of the biggest revelations of the leaks published by a science concerned alleged us war crimes in afghanistan the international criminal court though has been looking into some iraqis ations for

a while now but has just decided not to open an investigation into the matter the i.c.c. claims that doing so would be counter productive. the judges decided that investigation into the situation in afghanistan at this stage would not serve the interests of justice the i.c.c. noted the lack of cooperation that the prosecutor has received which is likely to go scared should an investigation be authorized hampering the chances of successful investigation and prosecution of the us president donald trump the decision is quote a major international victory for the rule of law the u.s. has refused to sign up to the i.c.c. slamming the court is exercising unaccountable powers of prosecution the i.c.c. says there are reasonable grounds to suspect war crimes were committed in afghanistan that's based on a preliminary investigation into the show opened in two thousand and six washington recently revoked and treat visa for the prosecutor responsible for the provost

citing the need to protect u.s. sovereignty. now human rights watch the court's decision saying it's a devastating blow for the victims of atrocities in afghanistan antiwar activists. says the i.c.c. has no power against the us. i don't think that an entity like an i.c.c. would be able to bring those charges to the front and i think it will look back at me and take on yugoslavia you take on small countries in africa maybe countries in latin america to countries in south asia but taking on the united states i mean i i mean you i guess the president too that would be the case with the sign right now this is this is not only up down it's down but we have to look at did they do they do anything about iraq you know there was a legal occupation legal in beijing just like

a pianist in this case is not the first case that points that out i think there are a few cases that point going back to even the crimes in yugoslavia that the nato committed i think there's quite a few cases and. quite a few precedence to show that i.c.c. is actually not capable of. bringing the real actors sort of western countries they're hedging ones to the table and actually charging them with crimes. another new seventy five people have been killed in over three hundred twenty wounded in libya in the last ten days alone according to the world health organization the country's ongoing civil war has been escalating after general hurley for have used forces control eastern libya ordered his army to march on the capital the un is calling on all parties to the conflict to end hostilities health partners have verified seventeen civilian casualties so far with seven fatalities

including three medical staff at least five ambulances have been hit since the onset of the conflict we continue to call for a humanitarian pause to allow people to safely evacuate and emergency services to get through and for all parties to abide by their obligations under international humanitarian law meanwhile thousands of libyans have been gathering in tripoli to protest against renewed fighting in and around the city libya has been in turmoil since the acting market down in twenty eleven since then the country has seen the setting up of two rival governments one backed by the un in tripoli and the other based in too broke what r.t. point. looks back now it's how the civil war in libya began in her latest edition of in case you missed it. cia stooges competing colonialists a powerless u.s. and billions of barrels of the black stuff in case you missed it the looming civil war in libya has this old. cousin early i thought.

freedom and prosperity in libya twenty eleven creating a glorious last civil. lysis and slave trade and found out i was wrong and the. not the business and i'm of the revolution you get rid of this guy and the more you know this one shows up i just look at them like a little despotic because their. general. and his self-proclaimed libyan national. apparently fought for colonel moammar gadhafi and then turned against him before going into exile in the u.s. for twenty years in langley virginia where the cia is based. how is that significant seriously i am trying to record something here. where was i cost has launched a military offensive and the place to take control of the whole country is off with

their reassuring promise that security comes politics second. housetop wants to defeat the government of national accord which is really a supplement or national or an accord with anything but it's called one thing on its side the recognition that the un is the service that seems easy enough international condemnation of nato for half dollars bill says everything gets better it works every time the plan has everyone's best interests at heart. so while the un officially recognizes the tripoli government the french egypt and the saudis have been funding and backing general. who also got a personalized guided tour of a russian aircraft carrier in time to seventeen its leaders backing the other side and the u.s. just pulled out of its soldiers from libya. oh. quite

a geopolitical. currently all the sides are doing the only thing they can do when they can't do anything for. restraint and dialogue my advice to anyone who lives in a corrupt sandy country with a serious amount of oil is to leave delegates here and there now just very back. meanwhile the e.u. is demanding that her half past stops his military operation against the tripoli government. in and around the capital are in danger of civilians including migrants and refugees and disrupting the un led political process with the risk of serious consequences for libya and the wider region including the terrorist threat but the bloc seems to be split over the issue france reportedly blocked an early statement calling on the leader of the libyan national army to pull back his troops paris's

all assets in eastern libya and has been providing military help so you have to italy has criticised france's starts. it would be very serious of france for economical commercial reasons have blocked an e.u. initiative to bring peace to libya and some think that the two thousand and eleven nato led military intervention in libya promoted by then french president nicolas sarkozy was triggered can commercial interests them but humanitarian concerns the former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament floated finish things the splits in the over libya is linked to the geo political interests of its members. about geopolitical a position of france and italy in a lesson manager brown's was the one country don't start of the war on libya in the first place for the same reason that there were there but they do not supporting the guy that they think will protect their interests ironically enough dismount

those leading the libyan national army is a former gadhafi goalie or a tool down and got disagreed with him and left the country for us in several years this man is just as a reliable as any other military dictator i mean it just shows that when it go really comes down to democracy human rights and so on he's just irrelevant. now the new german media outlets and politicians are branded on the country's justice minister after she gave an interview to r.t. deutsche in her seven minute appearance katherina barley touched on a number of issues concerning europe including germany's ties with russia peter all of the reports now from berkeley. well the german justice minister catherine of bali is found herself in hot water according to some lost on the political sea according to others it's scary to see how you can completely lose your political

compas in no time well what heinous act did she commit she spoke to the media or as some would have you believe the wrong type of media this is all come about after ms bali gave an interview to r.t. german language sister service. is not through to is a private enterprise and we as a government do not interfere and i also do not consider it appropriate to comment on u.s. plans in any way. these include all who seek to weaken at first of all of course these are the e.u. countries that want to become nation states again and stop their usual cooperation with us in order to pursue their selfish national interests as well as all those who are generally trying to split the european union. eminem a class of all i agree with a man you like ron in that he emphasizes the importance of the european union it is

obvious to him and he speaks confidently about it that only together can play in the global orchestra alone any country even the largest and most powerful on a nice scale will lose its importance on the world stage i also support my new mccrum in that we must further develop our economic union so that becomes a europe for its citizens as we call it a social europe as for our disagreements first of all they concern the measures that are being taken in the countries domestic policy without going into this topic in detail i will only say that this does not correspond to the principles of social democracy in the field of european politics we also have a completely different idea of how manage expenses should be allocated heaven forfend a german politician gave an interview to a russian news outlet about issues that affect both nations the minister must be out of her mind according to the german tabloid press justice minister katerina

badly wants to join the european parliament for the s.p.d. and has given many interviews so far so good but why she took questions from the kremlin propaganda portal russia today is not comprehensible to many in political circles while the c.d.u. is fighting for every euro to strengthen europe's security the s.p.d. european candidate. gives interviews the russian state propaganda that is twenty four seven to weaken europe. katherina barely of the european the un through body all smiled in unfriendly to those who want to send you a plummeting into chaos with their education freedom of the press sorry make that freedom to talk to the press as long as it's the ones the chairman tabloids approval. hearing terrorist propaganda online in the u.k. could never land you in jail under a new law that has just come into force the government says the new measure is aimed at preventing terror attacks these new laws give the police the powers they

need to disrupt terrorist plots earlier and ensure that those who seek to do us harm face just punishment as we saw in the deadly attacks in london in manchester in twenty seventeen the threat from terrorism continues to evolve and so must our response which is why these vital new measures have been introduced new amendments to the counterterrorism and border security act including jail terms but to fifteen years for clicking on terrorist propaganda people also could be jailed for showing reckless support for banned groups and entering designated areas abroad human rights groups though have voiced concern over the new measures. the bill is legislating close to the line or indeed crosses the line in britain human rights one should be able to freely browse the internet in private without fear of criminal repercussion as part of the basic enjoyment of the right to privacy and freedom of information. well we spoke to george some the latest a senior researcher at the global policy institute and he says the u.k.

government may have a hidden agenda. i don't find it logical at all i think it's clearly a law to restrict speech to restrict academic research a way of ensuring government control of the on in the west over the last few years in which governments of increasingly brought the internet under control they use different guises fighting terrorism trying to flee war russian influence on the elections but it always has the same effect which is to limit the freedom to study the british government couldn't give a damn about terrorism any time the british government insists that they're in the business of fighting terrorism you know that's a lie then they couldn't care less about terrorism they're using terrorism as

a pretext to do what they really want to do which is to restrict what people can see on the internet then what people are able to communicate with one another on the internet. if you use their choice maybe a senior researcher at the global policy institute that's how the news is looking so i thought i would back again and. i think more doogan is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county for you'll be to stay if you look at it from the analogy. marc was the day that when he was five and. do going to be in the sheriff's most contentious critic for years the first time i noticed something wasn't right in

fleece work pretty much when he first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell it seems like it's a nod and a wink it wasn't what i wanted to do. we've had more shootings in this county then some states have had collectively drug and went to his website began featuring comments about go to the family the sheriff might then join us squash you like a bug you know i wish you'd stop then you should say and i'm left with stuff i believe in what i'm doing and i was like ok you know if you're if you're a living high rated p.b.s. and critics do going to house. i snuck out of the united states. into russia political science. men they know bad wolf.

and i will. mention that it's a long. way to the polluted. but i get a more efficient use for there. does look if you drive the. distance group so if you took the last just how much notice of. this is yours do you wish the best for the. old open your eyes for just finished over to move

over budget eludes. mr clinton but of course mr. twenty seventeen the russian space agency launched a new cosmonaut core recruitment campaign the requirements were strict a degree of piloting engineering or science psychological stability perfect health even height weight and just measurements are important because model has to be able to fit into the space suit and of course the ship four hundred twenty uplands was shortlisted from the campaign but only eight would be selected we'll focus on three of the would be cosmonauts whose progress we followed for almost two views.

when the shut down through. the post of c.m. both us from the news and notes of the boss which is pretty. you know what she was. up to one of them. and they almost like a thought here a lot of richness but you can even the biotin we'll do is to. of course its effect as reason. as a business consultant comes to teen knew that his chances of being a cosmonaut was slim so aged thirty he joins the leading aviation institute and spent five years preparing for this process. put incidence of places in the pools even stupid you. should want to go with the communion you

know. it's. the youth of the world is the moment a little worse and what it did was full to go through them. keeps them they just. didn't want to which was more. precious so that this is true that there's. a simple produce so you know what. those little cult.
