i. but you need a son charged in the us with conspiracy to hack government computers washington is now again raising the issue of his alleged links to russia. also to come this hour over seventy people are reportedly killed in libya in a week is the international community remains split over how to deal with the escalating conflict in the country and the german justice minister is rounded on

after giving an interview to r.t. which she mentions close ties between burley and moscow. and we maintain close ties with russia russia was and always will be our partner. fellow there just gone ten o'clock in the morning here in moscow you watching r.t. international now after his dramatic arrest we keep leaks from manchin is facing a charge of conspiracy to hack a u.s. government computer but it appears washington has another axe to grind at least judging by vice president mike pence his words on friday. when he was the cia cia director said we keep leaks in state house intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia which strongly agree with us for the justice department

is now seeking extradition of well it's not the first time russia has been mentioned in connection with the currently he's not being charged with anything relating to russia. alleged collusion may nevertheless become part of the case against a stone age. it did say it years ago a son that the united states wanted him that's why he was 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 they've acted in concert with the russians to interfere on our elections to help you pack into a look at information from the russians at least in a way to disrupt our campaigns in twenty six you know i don't think that's that's not right to legal and i hope mr as much as possible gestures because if you're going to say forty years from. russia meddling in what you do 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 him 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. state all the charges they tend to charge mr sashi with extradition stating. you fail to do you not mr sargent's extra us that lancet. about experiment or bring their charts just consider this if the us had any of it anything tying has signed to russia or made legal conspiracy do you think they would have shown it to mentioned it this is it this is the unique charge he faces

and because of how extradition works they can to add any more charges if they get him the extradition order. needs to know at that stage what exact charge aside for example. the extradition court u.k. or not extradite somebody to wes you know the charges that are probably going to. not exist there's no charge. so the extradition court makes very clear we're only going to extradite on those charges are sent to us and. we decide. that the states with the shirts are now saying well it's six years that's going by what flu is and the experts are saying the u.s. 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. 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. shouldn't be too hopeful but you never know trump is trump wiki leaks i love were killing. gas they have their will on first a place forcibly removed the sanchez we saw from the ecuadorian embassy in london it came after keith a stripped him of his ecuadorian citizenship and revoked his asylum which was granted almost seven years ago ecuador says sanj violate the terms of his asylum in multiple ways the country's former foreign minister ricardo patino claims the current ecuadorian government has struck a deal with washington. but. what is clear here is that moreno who is currently the president of ecuador has reached an agreement with the u.s. they agreed to loans from the international monetary fund and an exchange they agreed to things hand over julian

a songe end and the process of latin american integration moreno has betrayed his homeland yet he allowed 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 songes long time legal advisers you're free robertson he explained why he believes a breach is not the real reason behind the arrest you can watch the full interview later on saturday. the home secretary said to joe ahead of the release of further or further arrest of jury as i said is 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 maybe will stir 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 applies to american journalists 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 b. 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 well one of the biggest revelations of the leaks published by assigns concern alleged u.s. war crimes in afghanistan the international criminal court has been looking into similar accusations for a while now but has just decided not to open an investigation into the matter the i.c.c. claims that doing so now would be counterproductive. 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 scarcer should an investigation be authorized hampering the chances of successful investigation and prosecution. well the u.s. president donald trump hailed the decision as quote a major international victory for the rule of law the u.s.

has refused to sign up to the i.c.c. with trump 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 is based on a memory investigation into the opened in two thousand and six washington recently revoked an entry visa for the prosecutor responsible for the pride citing the need to protect u.s. sovereignty. a human rights watch the court's decision saying it is a devastating blow for the victims of atrocities in afghanistan and he war 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 i mean you take on yugoslavia you take on small countries in africa maybe

countries in latin america to the 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 science right now this is this is not only a janet stone but we have to look at did they do they do anything about iraq you know there was a little occupation with the invasion just like a pianist on 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 there's quite a few precedents to show that i.c.c. is actually not capable of. bringing the real actors sort of western countries they had to march to the table and actually charging them with crimes. seventy five people have been. killed and over three hundred twenty wounded in libya in the last ten days that's according to the world health organization the country's ongoing civil war has been escalating after general aletha huffed control

eastern libya ordered his army to march on the capital un is calling on all parties to the conflict to end hostilities health partners have verified seventeen civilian casualties so far with seven feet elegies 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 evacuated 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 the region libya has been in turmoil since the sting of newmarket daffy 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 into peru well r.t. . looks back now at the how the war the civil war in libya began in her latest

edition of in case you missed it. the cia stooges competing colonialists a powerless us billions of barrels of the black stars in case you missed it the looming civil war in libya has this will. help us in the early i thought that. freedom and prosperity in libya twenty eleven creating a glorious last civil. lysis and slave trade turns out i was wrong and the intrusion not the business and i'm of the revolution to get rid of this guy and the more you know in this one share is up i just look at them like a little despotic because they're in the. general. and his self-proclaimed libyan national. apparently useful for colonel moammar gadhafi then turned against him before going into exile

in the u.s. but twenty years in langley virginia where the cia is based. however is not significant seriously i am trying to record something here. where was i after is launching a military offensive and pledged to take control of the whole country is offered their reassuring promise that security comes politics second. housetop wants to defeat the government of national accord which is really a list 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 boil in the press. 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 twenty seventeen italy is backing the other side and the u.s. just pulled out of it soldiers from libya. oh. quite a geopolitical because 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 here and there now just very back. there while the the u. meanwhile is demanding that general haft asked stops his military operation against the tripoli government. the military attack launched by the enemy on tripoli and

the subsequent escalation in and around the capital are in danger of civilians including migrants and refugees and disrupting 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 e.u. statement calling on the leader of the libyan national army to pull back his troops paris's oil assets in eastern libya and has been providing military help to her italy though has criticized france's stance. it would be very serious of france for economical commercial reasons had blocked an e.u. initiative to bring peace to libya and would support a policy that is fighting as minister of the interior i would not stand by and watch something that the two thousand and eleven nato led military intervention in libya promoted by then french president nicolas sarkozy was triggered. commercial

interests than what humanitarian concerns. the former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament laid vinnie's thinks that the split in the me over libya is linked c.g.i. political interests of its members. about your political 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 this man and 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 reliable as any other military dictator i mean it just shows that when it goes really comes down to democracy human rights and so on he's just irrelevant. watching r.t.

still to come for you this hour religious violence is on the rise in france we look at whether the media has skewed the perception of these she will have a look at that story for service to stop. what politicians do something. to put themselves on the laws. to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be. that you do like to be close it's like the fourth tree in the morning can't be good . interesting calls in the waters of the. first six. welcome back now german media outlets politicians have rounded on the country's justice minister after she gave an interview to r.t. in her seven minutes appearance katherina barly touched on a number of issues concerning europe including germany's ties with russia peter all of has more to. for 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. member whose land we maintain close ties with russia russia was and always will be our partner however that doesn't mean we don't take issue with certain things but then that's a natural part of any relationship. nordstrom to is 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. europe has external and internal

enemies 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 heaven forfend a german politician give an interview to a russian news outlet about issues that affect both nations that minister must be out of her mind according to the german tabloid press justice minister caterina barely 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 katherina barley gives interviews to russian state propaganda that is twenty four seven to weaken europe because they're in

a barely of the europe in the un through body all smiling and friendly to those who want to send europe 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 german tabloids approve of. now religious violence is on the rise in france apparently with a spike in attacks against minorities however the line share of the incidents in the country do appear to target christians something though that the mainstream media's coverage has seen is seemingly missing charlotte levinsky explains. anti religious attacks are taking place on an almost daily basis in france but while some incidents seem to attract a lot of attention others are largely being ignored according to the french observer. for me so mary twenty nineteen was the worst month for churches in france

and say began collecting data in two thousand and fifteen but in addition to churches other public christian symbols have also been targeted for example some across as a mountain tops public crucifixes has been destroyed or vandalized and public statues of jesus and the virgin mary have been decapitated or destroyed and according to the observatory in france anti christian attacks have sharply risen since the beginning of twenty nineteen this is paris is historic seoul suit. it didn't take long for an investigation to say the attack was deliberate and cause nearly a million euros in damage but take a closer look at how it was reported by some news wires the headline reads the church briefly catches fire. almost

a month later the story doesn't appear to have been updated suggesting that a deliberate attack on one of paris is the largest churches just wasn't backed newsworthy at the same time other anti religious attacks not only make the headlines they state. the latest official figures from the french government gave us back to insight into what's happening in twenty eighteen there was a sharp rise in the number of anti sematic incidents five hundred and forty one that's up seventy four percent compared with twenty seventeen the incidents were broken down showing what they were related to including murder violence and threats anti muslim acts to it at one hundred alone since twenty ten meanwhile the number of anti christian acts reached one thousand and sixty three

a slight increase compared with the previous year no further detail was. what was shocking to me was the almost casual way that the ministry described it saying quote the number of anti-christian acts is stable over the year when the interior minister downplays or. seems to sideline the acts against christians it fuels the assumption that only minority religions deserve protection unquestionably the increase in anti-semitic attacks is of serious concern but by ministers minimizing the number of anti-christian incidents and providing no details the government signals in a not so subtle way that this is less important it's unclear who is carrying out these attacks or why they are taking place but there's real concern that the way that the french government and the media generally underplay them means that they

could be being significantly underreported meaning the true scale is still unknown so it didn't ski r.t. paris just coming up to ten thirty in the morning here in moscow thanks for watching r.t. we're back again with more just over half an. there are millions of people in america and around the world who are better educated than ray dahlia but in order to succeed on wall street you need to have complete lack of empathy this has been driven in study after study after study re dahlia has no consideration about the effect he's having our society and the rock the ruination of the lives that is contributing to my being

a leak on the system with is hedge fund that's a lack of empathy and it there that takes a certain kind of myopia and stupidity to work yourself into that state. what do you do before you came here where did you work before you came here when you lived well death row in many us states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people because of what they did they have given up the right to live among us somebody even proven innocent of two years on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. it. those are the gate have to be changed and we are still living with

the historical legacy sophie industrialization of most of the most a legal frameworks in invest and grow all of them are designed for industrial face a stick watch and now we are moving ahead and i think the problem is that our concepts are lagging behind. i think more doogan is an outstanding person people. he took on the most powerful agency in. the. mark was the day that when he was. going to. take for the first time i noticed something. pretty much.

a wink.
