before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. this story the week. is arrested after spending almost seven years holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london with the rest of the global attention and concern over a possible extradition to the united states. to the news the u.s. democratic presidential hopeful says that african americans should receive financial compensation for the suffering of their ancestors under slavery we debate the issue. because somebody is green day doesn't mean i'm responsible for it you know. you should have been able to why they were alive if the government had

literally buried it paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america. tensions in the continuing to boil as armed forces from the two rival governments trying. to take the capital last week. joining us this evening you're watching the weekly here on our. after almost seventy years holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london we can he's founder julian assange was sensationally dragged down by police this week shortly after the south american country suspended the whistleblowers citizenship revoked his asylum . in the exclusive footage of the moment he was arrested. plait

us . that. was. following his arrest the wiki leaks whistle blower was driven to west miss the magistrate's court in london that he was found guilty of failing to himself into the authorities in two thousand and twelve in relation to a sexual assault case which has since been dropped with more in the case. someone just told me he would be sentenced to a later date to have by at video link the songes legal team on the wiki leaks protests and came out take a listen to what they had to say this sets a dangerous precedent this precint means that any journalist can be extradited for

prosecution in the united states for having published truthful information about the united states this is what god gave to journalists and is supposed to be there to the u.k. government needs to make up for assurances that journalists will never be extradited to united states for publishing a kitty the ecuadorian also had to allow the metropolitan police to go inside the embassy where a party julius on tried to resist arrest and then he was physically bundled up and put in to a police baton and taken into police custody now very soon afterwards we learned that julian assange just electical asylum to citizenship had been revoked by the ecuadorian authorities. announced that the discourteous and aggressive behavior of mr julian all seans the hostile and threatening decorations of his annoyed organization i could all on especially the transgression of international treaties

have led the situation to a point where the asylum of mr assad regime is unsustainable are no longer viable the ecuadorian authorities didn't like the fact that they said julian assange is interfering in the international affairs in the affairs of other countries through his online activity through his activities as editor of wiki leaks but also there was this kind of domestic dispute bubbling beneath the surface as well last year julian assange was given a list of conditions that he needed to add here to if he wanted to stay on the good side of his the ecuadorian hosts he was told they needed to tidy up after himself clean his ball free. pay for same thing you pay for say no on three clean up after it's the hands which they threaten term leave and subsequently did british officials are pretty pleased about what's happened we'll welcome the news this morning that the metropolitan police have arrested julian assange. i

mr speaker this goes to show that in the united kingdom no one is above the law but what we've shown today is that no one is above the law julian assange is no hero he is hidden from the truth for years and years but also a very courageous decision by president around zero in ecuador to resolve the situation we need for the end but at the very least of the embassy chapter of the julian assange i'm stuck in this saga and we're moving on to perhaps a rather truncated chapter seven legal extradition battle. julian songe sought refuge in the ecuadorian embassy back in two thousand and twelve the us was then investigating the publication by wiki leaks of classified military documents related to the war in afghanistan it also looked into a song that is release of cyber tools used by the cia and of hillary clinton's private e-mails which is claimed was part of alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election following his arrest on thursday the u.s.

issued a formal request for a songes extradition washington accuses of conspiring against the united states the indictment alleges together which elsie manning the former intelligence analyst in the us army for the songs cracked a government password and access to classified documents if convicted he could face up to five years in prison is a look back for you to publications over the years. color . how much. look. the touch lead.

you to lower. the ultra does he say any the millions of. the ultra low wiki leaks walks like a hostile intelligence sort of like a hawk the colors are. jealous cassandra fed banks who visited julian the songs in the embassy two weeks ago told us about the atmosphere in his refuge pride to the arrest. well he wasn't

permitted to talk to me privately without surveillance what happened was he was shouting that he wanted to meet with me so that he could report on the illegal treatment that he was being you know met with at the embassy at the hands of the embassy and he is the ambassador of working with the u.s. government and said that they were conspiring with the us against him and these are the people who are supposed to be giving him asylum they spent twenty five million dollars at least on surveillance at the ecuadorian embassy and they're not spending that kind of money for a five year sentence i'm worried that if they get him here i think that they're beating him with a light sentence so that the courts the u.k. court will and his lawyers potentially will agree to easy or agree more easily it extradition but then once he gets here they're going to pile on the charges and do what they did to chelsea manning soldiers the rest is going to global attention

with thousands rallying in support of the whistleblower from budapest protesters have gathered outside the u.s. embassies expressing their concern over the songs as possible extradition with more rallies planned to take place later today across australia my colleague nic aaron discuss the international reaction to a soldier's arrest. a lot of these skeletons in the closets of the world's mightiest the most powerful probably will never be pulled out but if it wasn't for julian assad some people wouldn't even start thinking merely that some of this nasty and gruesome stuff even existed and indeed a very important part of his legacy probably the most important part will always be encourage so many people to think and ask questions about what the most powerful people in charge of this world could be hiding and this can truly be felt through the things that are being said by the activists right now in reaction to what's

happening with the whistleblower let's take a look at what the american civil liberties union came out with any persecution by the united states. publishing operations would be unprecedented and unconstitutional would open the door to criminal investigations of news organizations prosecuting a foreign publisher of violating u.s. secrecy tools was set and especially dangerous precedent for us journalists who routinely violate foreign secrecy laws to deliver information vital to the public's interest cumin rights watch are now actually saying that every news organization is in danger and this kind of sentiment is being echoed by so many activists and activist organizations to those who support him he is you know. the hair i hate is an award winning journalist but there are those who hates am and he's as

a whistle blower a villain how is he we're god it. well some people don't see a difference between behavior to a list and a whistleblower some people do but you can argue that in any case this julian assange situation and his whole fate well always be intertwined with the notion of freedom of speech and it seems that any kind of attempts by the us political elite to paint him with that brush and to try and convince the world that he is not a journalist will always be challenged by the world's most renowned whistleblowers and investigative journalists as well images of those in buses invoicing the k. secret police into the embassy to drag a publisher of like you to know it was when in journalism out of the building. up in the history books critics may cheer but this is a dark moment for press freedom we care leaks is a publisher charges now brought in connection with its material or any attempt to

extradite assange to united states for prosecution under the deeply flawed could you know of the espionage act nine hundred seventeen is an attack on all of us the d.-o. g. cis part of what a science did to just to fire his prosecution beyond allegedly helping manning get the documents is that he encouraged manning to get more documents for him to publish journalists do this with sources constantly is a criminalization of journalism it's hard to make know the political undertones of this case how have politicians been wayans things songes arrest well know what to reason may said no one is above the law and it looks like the likes of the u.s. the u.k. and the current government of ecuador will continue to team up in saying that these suspected criminals should be prosecuted and they will keep on pushing that line but at the same time even in the western world and also in other parts of the world

there will be politicians will keep on saying things like. any pretext and they will continue to treat this case as pure hypocrisy of the western political elites this whole story with the persecution and hounding with establishing inhumane living conditions is consigning to oblivion the rights of the freedom of speech and disseminating information that is something that it's absolute if you think that i mean that we are talking about that. shown towards abuses and by a lesion of your mind in international right now we absolutely reject the no amount of julian assange just natural ization and the handover of this australian journalist to the united kingdom in a shameful act surrendering our sovereignty the extradition of julian a son to the us for exposing evidence of atrocities in iraq and afghanistan should be opposed by the british government in any case now whatever the people say it

still all depends on the next steps by u.s. police and u.s. prosecutors so we will be watching out for that. u.s. presidential hopeful aspirant debate sponsored posing a bill to provide reparations to african americans democrat senate accorded booker says that this would compensate for the suffering of slaves. recent poll finds only one in five voters actually backed the move though if adopted the law will officially acknowledge the legacy of american slavery and financially compensate those still affected by discrimination issues getting a lot of attention from fellow democrats. we have to recognize that everybody did not start out on an equal footing in this country and in particular black people have not. and so we have got to recognize that and do something about that and give folks a lift up i believe it's time to start the national symbol long conversation

about reparations so that we can as a nation do what's right and begin to heal there are massive disparities that must be addressed so we're going to do everything we can to put resources into distressed communities and improve lives for those people who have been hurt from the legacy of slavery. we debated this issue with conservative commentator anthony bryan logan and all three said the senate took rather opposing views. you could have identified the former slave master and a former slave right at a moment but we're now winds are at it to years past a particular point in time who's going to pay people did not have slaves nobody i left a day in twenty nineteen was a slave back then so what do we gain pay for who is going to pay we're right again pay it's no more than a campaign promise from democratic hopefuls trying to get some kind of attention now you're ok with the l. less and that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard they provide economic

restitution to those people now if i came into your house mr a.b.l. and i stole a thousand dollars from you and then i died or if i sold a million dollars from you and then i'd die would you say oh well reason die so that money doesn't matter anymore no he would go talk to my children and children are still living off the benefits of that million dollars just because somebody is grand days dose of it doesn't mean i'm responsible for it if somebody is granddad was so you know a killer and then they found out one hundred years later you go after the kids and say ok you get to go to jail now or you get to pay back some money because of what your grandfather d. makes no since you know who did it you should have been able to catch him why they were alive punish him why they were alive we want to focus on is the economic harm that was done to black people if we really break down with slavery was people were brought from across the water to work and that was free labor what we have is here to ration years hundreds of years of systematic distant discrimination and shutting

out of x. economic access the black people and that has to be repaid who's going to pay it you're talking about a government that government is funded by the people that means me then means you will pay for it so how does it make any sense like i say it would have been more let me present how many hands you are mostly under paid as slave women parade. it is what it didn't do which is at the end to slavery not right now it makes no sense to so argue me it is space no logic here america's never even study the effects of slavery on black people they never sat down and said we know that as a government we thank him with this fix this experience but we don't even know how far that experience reaches because no one's ever study it how much do we owe black people no one's ever studied and why because the government has literally buried it had it paid out everybody else and turned it back on the black people in america who hate anyone i do too long to just drive initiated into their hands free night

and i'm going to write in tears hopefully my generation will stand up and say that the buck stops here so we don't have to go on with this any longer you have banks libyan government is claiming it's down to plain that belongs to the advancing forces of the country's position will bring you that story imo after the break.

the rules of the game have to be changed and we are still living with historical legacy sofi decimalization most of the most a legal frameworks in investing work all of them are designed for industrial base of the stick watch and now we are moving ahead and i think the problem is that our concepts are lagging behind. the un backed government in libya is claiming it's shot down the plane near tripoli belonging to the opposition libyan national army his forces have been advancing on the capital they've now been seized residential parts in the city and have blamed government forces for attacking those civilian areas the leader of the eastern

opposition forces for half the hour began the offensive last week seventy five people have been killed more than three hundred twenty wounded in libya in just the last ten days according to the world health organization the u.n. is calling on all parties to the conflict and hostilities rank as he has been taking a closer look at the developing situation. at. the u.n. e.u. backed regime in libya the government of national accord or g.m.a. is fighting. for its very life all but surrounded now by the army of their rival government in red here led by general hafta disapprobation is aimed against all groups considered by the international community to be terrorists we have security council resolutions according to which these organizations are classified as terrorist groups where this military escalation game is a complete surprise to us double it began with warmongering rhetoric from hafter which was

a throwback to the days of dictatorship and total terror and rule general have to up and his libyan national army on a roll storming toward the capital tripoli in the desperate g.m.a. have ordered their armies meaning the various islamist and militia groups that supported the counterattack on all fronts they've given this last stand the name the volcano of rage it's chaos worse both sides a pounding each other with airstrikes and the u.n. is panicking. and the heavy heart. i still hope would be possible for its bloody station in and i don't believe it's entirely possible that things will spiral out of all control the united states for one is already preparing for just that we will continue to monitor

conditions on the ground and assess the feasibility for a renewed u.s. military presence i was appropriate it appears they have a plan and they have the aces u.s. military presence is an axe hanging over libya at the drop of a had they can intervene again trouble is the last time they had a plan it ended in disaster turned libya into a failed state so here we are. one nation two governments and countless fiefdoms gangs militias and sects a grand battle royale with a prize worth fighting for the winner gets one of the biggest oil reserves in the world. some four hundred hopefuls are competing for just eight places on the russian space agency's mission to the mid ninety's documentary channels and

following their intense training. you know i just thought this one of them young you put your nickel so still to see a bold move from. various little kids a note this is yours for the. it was a good flea i'm one of the just. three distance books so if you took the worst still so much notice of. this is your. newest book is what a. little you must produce commish bubblegum of. results. in the first shift. just for the woman to become a small bit of a shoe and. then your should be at all but others that were for most of the tribe

is because the answer to what advice you buy that they are folks mom after. they're just a small bit of the more. mature votes for. nearly a brainwashed. choice. for the put it in. polish edition is met with a lot of what do you. think staying with r.t. i'll bet with updates for you in just half an hour. just

. please of the probability that. a lot. of people on the home of the homeless is about to do well. come up. plug. i do think the numbers mean something they've met or us is the one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of

global wealth he longs to be old the rich eight point six percent world market rose thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and if we rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know board the mid one and only boom but . if. there. are.

welcome to worlds apart when the globalization first started to take root it's proponents claim that it's going to be a panacea to almost all the world's ills lifting millions out of poverty peace through trade and yet as an old saying goes the only free cheese the mouse trap. trade commerce similar complications to discuss that i'm now joined by a former prime minister of finland. prime minister it's good to talk to you thank you very much more personal time we are recording this conversation on the sidelines of the harasses for on which this year is that ok to be discussing a morally decent form of globalization that formulation in and of itself suggest that there is something off with the current system what is it it's a fact that. many scenes are. globalization trend. transformation or.

maybe even the more fundamental things but they go hand in hand. now when globalisation is discussed it's usually discussed in economic terms of efficiency a labor costs production cheats etc and there is a legitimate benchmarks for business but not for government because the government has to consider a much broader impact what happens to society as a factor is more about what happens to the public health sector or whether there is an opioid crisis do you think industrial democracies have managed globalisation in there. rather than corporate ways. they have not understood that the rules of the game have to be changed and we are still. living with

historical legacy stuff industrialization because if you look at the social security systems education systems most of the let's say legal frameworks in the investment world all of them are designed for industrial face of technology and now we are moving ahead and i think the problem is that our concepts are lacking behind what you're saying is that the government didn't do enough to create new jobs to compensate the schools to make sure that people are not taking drugs rather than you know taking measures to make sure that industrial capacity is kept where those goods are consumed typically explanation is that market is going to be a liberal democracies have failed to solve problems that they created i think it's only half true and the problem is that they still believe that the methods they used after the second world war which were very successful that this is the same

methods are still applicable and producing on the applicable i mean no what's a scandalous one for example donald trump and many others say that we want to preserve certain jobs certain factories here even if it means that the the price of goods is higher we just want to people employed and that has every pull a factor on the society why is that not a legitimate point of view i think the point is that if you look at the u.s. the number of people employed in the united states has grown in a massive way all the time and the fact is that the u.s. has been able to take benefit from globalization but the fact is that certain sectors do not i born in a great deal in finland and if you look at what's going on in certain parts of america today you know i have seen and i've seen that i'm trying to explain to you that it's not because of political decisions it's because of technological change c.e.o. also.
