generations of them so i just got this memo. that says we're going to destroy the government in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with. if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort. for peace. with julian assange charged in the u.s. with conspiracy to hack a government computers the issue of his alleged links to russia i want to get to being weighed in washington. more than seventy people are reportedly killed in libya and a week as the international community remains split over how to deal with the country's they're still eighteen point lead. and the german justice minister is roundly criticized after giving an interview to artie's german sister channel in

which she mentions close ties between berlin and the whole scope. and retain close ties with russia russia was and always will be our partner. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron after his dramatic arrest wiki leaks frontman julian assange 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 the vice president's words on friday. when he was a cia cia director he called weekly leaks 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 it might have been just a flip of the tongue goes currently

a saw and hasn't been charged with anything russia related but his alleged links to the kremlin has been on the minds of the media political chiefs for quite some time . looks at whether alleged collusion may still become part of the case against the wiki leaks. he 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 leaks putin russia meddling echoed and echoed by everyone important enough to be on camera like us need is 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 and twenty sixteen i don't think that's that's not right that's illegal and i hope mr as much as possible just because if you come you'll get forty years from. russia meddling in what you do 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 of going to stop the us government asked you. state all the charges they tend to charge mr sashi with extradition stick. you feel to you mr sargent's to us that when talking. about states government about states government or their charters 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 except charges for example. the extradition court u.k. or not extradite somebody to the west the charges that are brought against. not existed there's no charges. 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 shelter are now seeing. pictures going by what flu is and 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 always 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. on thursday police force they believe removed today in a stance from the ecuadorian embassy in london it came after kato dropped him from his ecuadorian and stripped him of his ecuadorian citizenship and revoked his asylum which was granted almost seven years ago ecuador say their songs violated the terms of his asylum in numerous ways independent journalist and close friend of a song born smith stays the wiki leaks chief he knows is not the man painted in the media. putin's a very robust and strong person physically quite large and mentally but he has been under the most of her restraint i mean physically he lost a lot of weight mentally he was still the same julian of course but you could see

that 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 ecuadorians 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 allowed speak to journalists 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 him to have an eye but i didn'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 he 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 cats i mean you couldn't make it out so hungry for news they'll talk about a cat they'll talk about silly stuff about him you know apparently. being unclean or something like that i mean it's a mixture all ordinary how journalists are able to distract themselves what's really important and really important to the future of journalism the international criminal court well not to probe one of the biggest revelations from leaks published by with a blow a sons the i.c.c. claims that looking into alleged u.s. will crimes in afghanistan and 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 scared 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 li 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 looked at allegations that more than ten thousand civilians were killed in atrocities as well as claims of torture and rape in two thousand and seventeen the i.c.c. prosecutor also judges to take things further think they were reasonable grounds to suspect the us military was implicated human rights watch says the court's decision to reject the proper investigation facts about 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 just logic effectively in those member countries to opt out of copulating with the quote until activists check in 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 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 i guess the president do that with the case with the song right now this is this is not only a down it's down but we have to look at. they you they do anything about iraq you know that was illegal occupation 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 germans to the table and actually charging them with crimes. 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 whose 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 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 a renewed fighting in the region libya has been in turmoil since the ousting of moammar gadhafi in two thousand and eleven since then the country has seen the establishment of two rival governments one backed by the un in tripoli and the other base in tobruk artie's party boyko has been looking back at how the civil war

began in her latest edition of in case you missed it. the cia stooges competes in colonialists powerless us billions of barrels of the black stuff in case you missed it the looming civil war in libya has this role. because of the leak i saw. freedom and prosperity in libya back in twenty eleven creating a glorious civil. like this and slave trade turns out i was wrong. not the business and i'm of the revolution to get rid of this guy on the floor you know this one shows up i just look at them. to spot it because they're in the. general. and his self-proclaimed libyan national army. apparently fought for colonel moammar gadhafi then turned against him before going

into exile in the u.s. the 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 cough has launched a military offensive and the place to take control of the whole country is off with their reassuring promise that security comes after politics seconds. have stopped once to defeat the government of national accord which is really a sublist or national or an accord with anything but it's called one thing on its side the recognition that the queue at the civic center seems easy enough international condemnation nato. half dollar bill says everything gets better it works every time the plan has everyone's best whale 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 trying to seventeen its leaders backing the other side out of 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 made when they can't do anything for the. 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. he you meanwhile is demanding that 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 and

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 early youth statements calling on the leader of the libyan national army to pull back its troops powers has oil assets in the east of the country and have been providing military help to come 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 can commercial interests than what humanitarian concerns former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament load the new things the split in the e.u.

over libya is linked to the geopolitical interests of its members. but your political position of france and italy in a lesson man in the bronx was that 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 colleague or atonal down and disagreed with him and left the country for 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. the german justice minister is under fire after giving an interview to ati's german sister channel where she said after the break.

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 from. europe as 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 for the rino barly gives interviews the russian state propaganda that is twenty four seven to weaken europe. because the arena barely of the european the un through body all smiled in 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 that you haven't tabloids approve of. china has posted a major slump and its imports the over the last year comes as the trade war between washington and beijing ratchets up further and with the us adding dozens of chinese high tech companies and universities to its so-called un verified entities flagged as needing to be handled with care evangelized that report. the us china trade war seems to be far from ending what we're seeing a slowdown in the last few weeks on tariffs sanctions and defamatory speech both sides have decided to strike again the united states the part of enough commerce decided to add thirty seven chinese companies and universities to a red flag list of unfair fight entities this of course triggered a reaction from the chinese government calling the united states to correct its mistakes which. china opposes u.s.

is generalized concept of national security its frequent abuse of export control measures and its interference in a nutrition of normal international trade and cooperation between enterprises china urges the us to correct its mistake as soon as possible in the principle of mutual trust and mutual benefit and remove the companies from the list and facilitate and promote normal trade and cooperation between enterprises of the two sides but what does it mean being on verified list it would allow u.s. companies to treat those organizations with even more caution than before essentially u.s. suppliers can no longer use license exceptions that to sell their products to those companies but instead they will have to get a new license it is almost as if embargoes have been in place but in a more practical effect very very. keep it but if there's one thing that the u.s. loves is to make things complicated and even more when it comes to chinese entities we now see uncle sam that is continuing to lobby and threaten european governments

that are considering using while was equipment for their five g. network so when germany passed a draft for security standards the u.s. prays that believing that this is the first step of shutting down china's while we ensure up it's hard to see how chinese technology would meet that standard at this point we're looking for governments to adopt security standards like we're seeing in germany however banning the chinese telecom firm from europe doesn't seem enough for the united states government they're in now underwater there are currently some three hundred eighty underwater cables that carry ninety five percent of all data and voice traffic between continents mostly built from the united states and its allies now while we has been called to construct all repaired nearly one hundred submarine cables globally making the united states worried that china could potentially hack them just as the experts justifiably concerned about the inclusion of espionage back doors and well ways five g.

technology western intelligence professionals oppose the company's engagement in the undersea version which provides much bigger bang for the book because so much data resides and so if you cables and as the u.s. is praising germany for its security act the feeling this is seen to be that neutral berlin is criticizing president trump's cloud act the act which was passed last year allows american authorities to compel u.s. based tech companies to provide requested that up whether that is in the united states or abroad but why is germany worried well berlin plans to equip thousands of federal officers with motorola recording devices that would be able to upload that data to amazon web services an american company berlin has now its concerns but the storage of sites. we need to call it provided that is exclusively subject to european data protection law not a broad idea that is also subject to the us cloud act as the us is now tightening

its grip on europe with puffery laws and warnings about chinese tech firms the outcome is not what they expect it. thanks for chasing off the international neil harvey will be with you at the top of the hour with all the late. 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 has been driven in study after study after study re deleo has no consideration about the effect he's having out society and the rock the ruination of the lives that he's contributing to by being a leech on the system with his hedge fund that's the lack of empathy and played there that that takes a certain kind of myopia and stupidity to work yourself into that state.
