they're a short pile of myopia stupidity to work yourself. with julian assange charged in the u.s. with conspiracy to hack government computers the issue of his alleged links to russia are once again being raised in washington as. well and seventy people are reportedly killed in libya in a week as the international community remains split over how to deal with the country's escalating conflict. and the german justice minister is roundly criticized after giving an interview to want to use the german sister channel in which she mentions close ties between berlin and moscow. you bubbles and we maintain close ties with russia russia was and always will be our partner.

a very warm welcome you watching r.t. international with me making airing a lot of his dramatic arrest wiki leaks frontman julie massages 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 the vice president's words on friday. when he was a cia cia director he called weekly leaks a nine state house intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia we strongly agree with that's why the justice department is now seeking extradition well it might have been just a slip of the tongue as currently all songs hasn't been charged with anything russia related but his alleged links to the kremlin has been on the minds of the media and political chiefs for quite some time on his mark gasnier looks at whether alleged collusion may still become part of the case against the wiki leaks. 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 sputum in 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 and as much as possible gestures should come to cuba and so forth is for. russian meddling but if you go by their word he's a covert taiji be asset of 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 not to mention of russia not to 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 asked you state all the charges it tend to charge mr sashi with extradition stating. you feel to you not mistress arches us that lands on us on. our states government or 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 mention that 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 except charges side for example. the extradition

or u.k. or not extradite somebody to the west you know the charges that are probably going to. not exist there's no charges. so the extradition court makes very clear we're only going to extradite what those charges are sent to us and. we just like it straight to your sosh. states with iraq turns on no saying well it's. going by what lawyers and experts are saying the u.s. doesn't have much of a case and that 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.

this remarkable as it may be the u.s. is now saying that exposing us human rights abuses want to know that committed by the u.s. military exposing that is wrong serious than the abuses and murder themselves chilled 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. state police for simply removed julian assange from the ecuadorian embassy in london it came after quito stripped him of

his ecuadorian citizenship and thailand which was granted almost seven years ago i could also say that sanjiv violated the terms if they thought. i live in the right place i could always pull the foreign minister caught up with the no claims the current government has 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 us they agreed to loan us from the international monetary fund and an exchange they agreed to things to hand over julian a songe end and the process of the latin american integration moreno has betrayed his homeland 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 seeking. independent jet and i found a close friend of julian assange smith says that wiki leaks chief he knows has not been painted in the media. junot is very robust and strong person physically quite large and mentally but he has been on the most of her overstrained i mean physically he lost a lot of weight mentally he was still the same julian of course but you can see that here he's a man who'd suffered all no we can't for example the embassy used to close down and you could see that he didn't like being alone rattling around the place he hasn't been outside the ecuadorans were in the last year under the regime of merino were monitoring him inside the embassy to an extraordinary degree there were two cameras in every room except the lavatory even the kitchen one also he was gagged he was while speaking german and the other thing is there's a tension right took a tail this is quite difficult to see and julian has expected to be thrown out of

the embassy since before christmas he was just waiting for it to have been i but i don't think he expected to be dragged out in this way the way it happened was to patrol him to help portray him as a fugitive rather than allowing him to walk out himself with dignity people consider much more of a threat than you really is you know the district judge and the magistrate court that he went into after straight after being taken by the police and described him as a narcissist i mean the judge met him once in the courtroom but day i mean that's a savage thing to say about somebody you know today what we've been talking about the talking about the welfare of the cattle i mean you couldn't make it out so hungry for news no talk about a cat will talk about silly stuff about him you know apparently. the unclean or something like that i mean it's an extraordinary how journalists are able to strike themselves was really important and really important to the future of journalism the international criminal court will know it's probably one of the biggest

revelations from leaks that published by whistleblower julian a songs the i.c.c. claims that looking into alleged u.s. war crimes in afghanistan would now 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 the prosecutor has received which is likely to go scarcer should an investigation be authorized hampering the chances of successful investigation and prosecution u.s. president donald trump held the decision as a major international victory for the rule of law washington recently revoked an entry visa for the prosecutor responsible for the probe citing the need to protect the country's sovereignty the us has refused to sign up to the i.c.c. with officials lashing out at the court. we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. and we certainly will not join the i.c.c. as far as america is concerned the i.c.c.

has no jurisdiction no legitimacy and no authority we will ban its judges and prosecutors from entering the united states the i.c.c. plains near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court the i.c.c. opened a preliminary investigation into the issue in two thousand and six this look to the allegation is that more than ten thousand civilians were killed in atrocities as well as claims of torture and rape in twenty seven c. in the i.c.c. prosecutor also judges to take things further saying they were reasonable grounds to suspect the us military was implicated human rights watch the court's decision to reject a proper investigation that said bad president. the i.c.c.

judges rejection of an afghanistan investigation is a devastating blow for victims who have suffered grievous crimes without treacherous the judge's logic effectively in the house member countries to opt out of copulating with the quote antiwar activists again say 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 if we look back i mean you take on yugoslavia you take on small countries in africa maybe countries in latin america or maybe 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 song right now this is this is not only a piano stand but we have to look at did they do they do anything about iraq no that was a legal occupational legal invasion 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 there's quite a few precedents to show that i.c.c. is actually not capable of. bringing the real actors so the western countries the hedge amman's to the table and actually charging them with crimes. human rights watch have expressed outrage after a prominent palestinian activist who's a co-founder of a boycott israel movement was denied entry to the u.s. despite having a valid visa the u.s. the authorities have refused to give any comment saying all information relating to the case is confidential just another example of the trump administration soilent seeing palestinian voices and those standing up for palestinian rights. the way kant divestment and sanctions movement known as b.d.s. was formed in two thousand and five it calls for any type of boycott against israel

and this tel aviv in turn accuses the movement of being anti-semitic to date more than half of all u.s. states have introduced laws to penalize boycotts against israel earlier this year the u.s. senate's passed a bill allowing states to terminate contracts with entities which the ports the boycott movement when i speak live now to that very activist who was refused entry i'm a big you see i welcome to the programs there it's good to have you with us so i want to exactly happened where were you stopped and what were you told. there were. prevented from boarding a flight of the airport because under instructions from the u.s. consulate u.s. immigration have burned me from entering the u.s. despite having a valid visa and valid travel documents we see this as outsourcing it's mccarthy to democratic repression against the b.d.s. movement for human rights in palestine to the united states the u.s.

administration has been mobilized now to do israel's bidding in trying to silence palestinian israeli and international human rights defenders who are active in this extremely important and very effective nonviolent b.s. movement and what exactly were you having to the u.s. . i had this series of meetings and talks meetings with policymakers in congress meetings with the media talks new york university harvard university bookstore in philadelphia and importantly unprecedented meeting at the synagogue in chicago where we were going to discuss passover liberation and the palestinian b.d.s. movement for palestinian rights and i was also headed to the u.s. to attend my daughter's wedding and now both the u.s. and israel have refused to comment on the issue does that surprise there. no it's not surprising because it's illegal what they've done it's it's

a travesty for justice it's a travesty for democracy and the u.s. is violating its own laws by preventing a human rights defender like myself from entering the u.s. it is denying the u.s. public that i would have met the chance to meet palestinian human rights defenders firsthand and to hear from us firsthand b.d.'s is demonized in the u.s. stablish made by the us administration among some members of congress but it's all based on fabrications and lies that they receive from the israeli far right regime of occupation and apartheid they've never heard from palestinian b.d.s. activists it's about time to stop this mccarthyism and to listen to palestinian voices now twenty seven u.s. states they've introduced lola's against boycotting israel while so we have reaction to that and do you expect more than their. american civil liberties union which is a very important civil rights organization in the united states has called

a form of mccarthyism loyalty oaths that's where prominent during the mccarthy era it was then against communists now it's against palestine supporters it is really a violation of the first amendment of the us constitution as far back as nine hundred eighty two the u.s. supreme court ruled that boycotts for political social and economic change are considered free speech protected by the first amendment of the us constitution so all those twenty seven states are following israel's orders basically but they're violating the their own the us constitution we will challenge that we are challenging that in u.s. courts a.c.l.u. is challenging at least three states on their anti-democratic. laws and we think we will prevail in that struggle israel is trying to suppress b.d.s. from above. by passing laws because it has miserably failed to stop the immense

growth of the movement at the grassroots level among the trade unions churches women's groups energy beauty groups and so on and so forth and so have you received much support from around the world i mean has your story gained much ad time. absolutely you just need to google against me and you'll find it in all major media around the world. a.p. a.f.p. new york times washington post just about every major paper and media outlet in the us and europe the guardian and so on it is it has a lot of publicity because there is a lot of outrage at the audacity of this us administration phobic anti muslim and arab and jewish u.s. administration that is hiding behind its support for israel to cover up its own violations of human rights around the world including its suppression of democratic rights of american citizens themselves there's

a lot of outrage in the united states not just among those who support b.d.s. move b.d.s. for palestinian rights but all those who care about civil rights and democracy they're all outraged. he was recently denied entry to the us thank you for your time so. thank you clinton still as a commentating the german justice minister being under fire after giving an interview so i tease german sister channel you can find out what she said after this show right. what popes who. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be preached. to going to be approached with the bible before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested

always in the waters of. course. 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 complete lack of empathy this is driven in study after study after study re dahlia has no consideration about the effect he's having of society and the rock the ruination of the lives that he's contributing to by being a leech on the system with is hedge fund that's a lack of empathy and played there that that takes a certain kind of myopia and stupidity to work yourself into that state. welcome back now seventy five people have been killed and more than three hundred

twenty wounded in libya in the last ten days according to the world health organization the country's ongoing civil war has been escalating off the general khalifa haftar who supposes control eastern libya order to show me to march on the capital the u.n. is calling on all policies to the conflict and hostilities. health partners have verified seventeen civilian casualties so far with seven fatalities including three medical stuff 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. emergency services to get through and for all parties struck 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 ousting of moammar gadhafi in twenty eleven since then the country has seen the

establishment of two rival governments one backed by the u.n. in tripoli on the other based in tobruk. parties politico has been looking at back at the how the civil war began in her latest edition of in case you missed it. the cia stooges competes in colonialists a powerless us billions of barrels of the black stuff in case you missed it the looming civil war in libya has it your. cousin the lady i thought that. freedom and prosperity in libya back in twenty eleven creating a glorious life. like this and saved turns out i was wrong and the explosion was looking at the business of another revolution to 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. the 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 after is no one to a military offensive and the place to take control of the whole country is off of their reassuring promise that security comes politics second. house stop one to defeat the government of national accord which is really in some list or national or in accord with any. thing but it's got one thing on its side the recognition that the queue at the civic center seems easy enough international condemnation of nato for half dollar bill says everything gets better it works every time the plan has everyone's best boil in

a 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 in twenty seventeen italy is backing the other side out of the u.s. just pulled out of it soldiers from libya. quite a geopolitical. currently all the sides are doing the are losing may sound do when they can't do anything calling arms or strange kind of dialogue my advice to anyone who lives in a corrupt sandie country with a serious amount of oil is to leave don't go to europe they're just very back. the e.u. meanwhile is demanding the general can't stop his military offensive 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 in 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 block seems to be split over the issue france reportedly rejected an earlier statement calling on the leader of the libyan national army to pull back its troops paris has oil assets in the east of the country and have been providing military help look after italy has criticized france's stance. it would be very serious of france for economical commercial reasons have blocked an e.u. initiative to bring peace to libya and would support a party 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 more commercial

interests than what humanitarian concerns for my deputy speaker of the belgian parliament a lot of the news the things the split in the e.u. have a libya is linked to big bear political interests of its members. in 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 they 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 i'm going to disagree with you and left the country for us in central years this man is just as the reliable as and the military dictator i mean it just shows that really really comes down to democracy human rights and so

on it's just irrelevant. german media and politicians have rounded on the country's justice minister after she gave an interview to artie's german sister channel and her seven minutes of parents catarina barely touched on a number of issues concerning europe including germany's relations with russia artie's pitta oliver reports from berlin. or the german justice minister catarina 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 compass 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 barley gave an interview to r.t. german language sister service. and 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 too 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 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 is giving 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 or the rino barly gives interviews the 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 you are 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 approve of thanks for taking out the international this saturday we're back in thirty minutes with the latest headlines all three of them.

everybody john once again for the big guys a report lovely place hey max we're going to follow up on that ray dahlias story you mentioned re dahlia is a multimillion billionaire he's i guess he basically who financed as all of connecticut and they're bankrupt states he's a connecticut hedge fund guy he just donated two hundred million dollars the largest donation ever to connecticut for their education system but he was also in the news because of course he did recently declare that hedge fund billion or a dahlia says capitalism is failing america and we need to take five specific actions to save it or a dally you know in a linked in post analyzes the ways america's economy has been failing the majority of its citizens and places the current environment in a global perspective he wrote that he's seen capitalism evolve in a way that is not working well.
