in russia's far east ahead of his first. correspondents within touching distance of the north korean leader's fate was proved. we were given the opportunity to come closer to his arm or. we didn't demand or explain the arrest of a swedish program for alleged collaboration with wiki leaks human rights activists say there's no evidence of a crime only guilt by association. so international human rights groups have described the beheading of thirty seven people by saudi arabia

in the largest mass execution in years with one person even crucified in public. thanks for joining us in the program. a north korean leader kim jong un the city of god of all stock in russia's far east ahead of his first ever summit with me of putin the meeting will take place on thursday he was greeted by authorities on a military parade in his honor our correspondent is there. soon after this train crossed the north korea russia border the supreme leader said that he was happy to be in this country and that he once this trip to be successful and fruitful. you come to russia with that will of all people and i hope my visit will be successful

and productive i also hope that during on negotiations with the owner of will president putin i'll be able to discuss the matter is it resulting the problems on the korean peninsula as well as a bilateral relations what exactly he means by that we can only guess that all this is the so so to say the on to raj of kim jong un's arrival in lot of austar. literally minutes after the north korean supreme leader got inside his limo we were given the opportunity to come closer to his armored train.

so unfortunately i won't be able to show you or see for myself any of the extraordinary facilities inside that tray that was used by kim john owns father i was trying to look through the window but obviously no chances and the security guards are watching carefully to make sure that we don't touch it i've already been told off by the inside there are high tech communication facilities several conference room as well as luxury living quarters and. middle of the train there's a special room for him john wife and right next to it two separate carts for body guards there are two restaurants one is for the supreme leader himself and the second one is for the entire delegation there's even a special section for the leaders limo and they're the one that we saw on the

station square that massive armored vehicle could actually fit into one of those now in terms of the political context of this meeting we have to remember what happened a few months ago and also last year to face to face meetings with an american president donald trump the world expected to breakthrough but it didn't happen no agreements or deals were signed being yang expected some positive steps from washington to be made in response to the concessions from the d p r k one of the things they said they did was destroying a number of nuclear facilities that they used to have what they got instead was more pressure and threats of new sanctions and what we found out eventually was that kim john thune was heading to russia and the next leader he's going to meet is vladimir putin not donald trump so definitely we are expecting them to discuss the

denuclearization of the korean peninsula of course moscow's role and where it stands in this conflict is completely different to that of washington but if once the kemp putin summit is over we hear about some breakthrough decisions being made in pyongyang that is really going to be a diplomatic game changer. the chairman of the d.p. r. k. will spend the night at a hotel on risky islands the north korean the negations request that a range of traditional russian dishes to be served to stay on them all the money was boy made from beetroot many there you can see which are russian style dumplings and of course caviar. while the main event of the summit will be on thursday kim jong un had plenty to occupy him in the meantime he was sent to visit several major factories as well as russian navy facilities political analyst chris bambery

aligned his expectations for the talks i think putin is going to say take it easy here you need to go to his advice would be you need to take it gradually and make sure any step you take is as a reciprocal step from the americans so i think they'll be discussing the nuclear deal and how the north koreans can play the card and i think kim jr on will want putin's advice advice here and i think putin will retain them to say a bit more hardball please put hardball with the americans a bit a bit more so i get i'm not thinking anything really dramatic here but i think it america russia will make it clear that while it doesn't saeed with north korea in terms of developing nuclear missiles it understands why north korea wants this nuclear program and understands why americans have to treat the north koreans with respect in these negotiations if the negotiations resume so vladimir putin will

meet kim jong un on thursday and of course will be across events for you so do stay with r.t. for the latest. leading rights groups of the live in a scathing rebuke to saudi arabia over its execution of thirty seven men on terror charges on tuesday a miss international said many of the convictions were handed down in sham trials and market alarming escalation in the authorities use of the death penalty human rights watch described punishment as a grotesque ragas the of reports. few things so as much fear into the hearts of your own people as mass executions none of this electric chair or lethal injection nonsense we're talking here about beheading it isn't so much about killing someone as it is about terrifying others narco cartels the

mafia know it and so does saudi arabia and if you can get away with bad heading justifying it generally isn't a problem the men were executed for adopting terrorists and extremists thinking and performing terrorists else to corrupt and destabilize security allegedly among their crimes was this respect towards authority some of them can you believe that like the king protested against him so serious with their crimes that one of those executed was also crucified yes crucified in two thousand and nineteen his body strung up for all to see for all to fear. today's mass execution is a chilling demonstration of the so do you review north or callous disregard for human life it is also yet another gruesome indication of how the death penalty is being used as

a political tool to crush dissent from within the country its sheer minority in fact almost half of those killed. well executed after taking part in pro-democracy protests see the arab spring didn't skirt saudi arabia the shia minority rose up it wanted change better fairer life the king obviously thought they wanted too much it's not the first time which saudi arabia you know thirty to punish prisoners of conscious rule who do need to talk about the human rights violations in the country we were surprised by what happened yesterday because we thought that it was like something we shouldn't have happened at and in any in any case or any time it's not the first time such punishment to crash since one of those executed by the way was sixteen years old at the time of his

arrest attending a protest apparently still a kid now is an example you wouldn't believe how creative the saudis are when it comes to killing prisoners in fact the current king began his reign by staging a massive execution forty seven people behaved in short for crimes that included this a big saudi rulers biggest blood show since the nineteen eighties who said fictions and common peaked in two thousand and twelve five people were strung up paralysis reportedly is also in a judge's arsenal seriously they can centenary asli they can sentence a person to be paralyzed as punishment routes back to a four thousand year old law that someone wrote on a stone below to through a tooth and literally in this case

a knife or an eye saudis took that. very seriously in two thousand and five a cordon saudi arabia ordered. migrants i get out as punishment for getting into a fight amputation also a favorite especially for theft chopping off people's arms and feet stealing and of course stoning reserved for crimes like being too friendly with the opposite sex what can you say you want to cherry on top saudi arabia's on the un human rights council what a world sends an extremely worrying signal to the shia community regarding you know standing up for their rights i mean there are many members of the shia community huge what's the rights this will certainly. dissuade them or serve to dissuade them for doing such a thing notably we've heard nothing from the united states of america perhaps

others who are involved in supporting saudi arabia in other elements of its public policy say in respect yemen and so on so i am sitting in in the u.k. i haven't heard any particular condemnation from the british government it is completely unclear the international standards of justice a fair trial standards were were followed in this case and thirty seven people is a lot of people to to execute on in one day it's it's a quite a ruthless move. the parents of a swedish national arrested in ecuador for reportedly plotting against the president have been allowed to visit some in jail the swedish foreign ministers the morning ecuador explain his arrest the man arrested is all of benny who's a computer programmer he's an expert in cyber security and also a digital privacy advocate it was attained just hours after julian assads was arrested in the ecuadorian embassy in london many shots with hacking computer

systems in the country as father told us his son's rights were violated. you didn't get to talk too slow or in the right turn and didn't get to me to call in the right and there was so many wrong things that were gone evidence is that one book of noam chomsky that he has a lot of memory sticks and her and there's not enough to arrest the person meanwhile human rights activist says there's no proof of all beings guilt of a number of celebrities activists of politicians have signed an open letter to the swedish government calling it to help free the program all quarter picks up the story. seems being friends with julian a sonship might just cost you your freedom as the wiki leaks co-founder was dragged into the back of a british police van another hacktivists shared

a similar fate all of being he was arrested on the same day allegedly for working with assad inch for several years now one of the key members of the week you leaks in a person close to mr julian assange has lived in ecuador and we have sufficient evidence that he has been collaborating with the best bligh's ation attempts against the government prosecutors charged with attacking ecuadorian computer systems and their evidence laptops and encrypted u.s.b. sticks seized from beanies home president lennon moreno pointed to frequent travel as a mark of guilt suspecting be any visitor dishonest to do his bidding and one of the reasons he kicked out a songe was suspicion he was using the ecuadorian embassy as a hacktivist ecuador's interior minister says it will not be tolerated even if it's mere suspicion it is up to the justice system to determine if he committed a crime but we can't allow inquiry to become a center for piracy in spying that period in our history is over so just hours

after assad was dragged out of the. ecuadorian embassy bini was detained in quito airport his lawyers say his rights were violated in many ways no charges no translator he was even denied bail and his parents fear for his safety it's a tough time for him when he doesn't really understand why he's. forty has been accused of. and this isn't just another hacktivist we're talking about here beany worked on the advisory board for a major european commission funded project called de code the initiative involves cybersecurity experts researching data ownership and technological sovereignty human rights groups and high profile figures are calling for beanies immediate release and also in sweden the big newspaper that has been. giving out this petition over open letter to our prime minister.

shootings has been played down by new zealand prime minister arden's office while world leaders and top political figures have condemned the attacks and expressed their condolences for the dead and injured and it's our expert means of all auto told us the your thought is in the u.k. need to look at why increasing numbers of university students are being radicalized . we're now seeing a lot of students or some students seems to be radicalized and you can invest this this is a trick because if this is becoming the whole four out. there is need for a review of what kind of radicalization is going on in the u.k. in this these how to assure this is stopped. i think it's important to highlight that this is not a forced individual have gone through universities that have been radicalized in the north. to try to use a bomb. on

a plane so we know some people have been coming here and we need to know if it indeed was radicalized in the u.k. . so that if. there is they need to be able to apprehend them quickly or even if they do you k. . the philippines will declare war against canada to resolve a dispute over waste disposal that's according to the president of the southeast asian nation. who declare war against canada we can take them down overturn their trash just wait and see i would advise canada that your garbage is on the way prepare a gram reception each if you want. one hundred containers of waste and getting used diapers was shipped to the philippines five years ago reportedly mislabeled as material for recycling kind of has refused to take it back however promise just striking. is directly possible to get it back but there's still

a number of questions around who will pay for it where the financial responsibility is where the consequences are as a reaction to the dispute from political analyst richard and investigative journalist. the fact that it matters at present there it has a very early toxic relationship we canada so now when it comes to canada is a gays well you guys dared to question about human rights and then you're going to i call it what you would call sick materials and garbage no waste even though of course that water rectory cannot be taken literally but clearly of course i think it's completely unfair to just blame you certainly the state of the canadian government alone and of course it would be nice if present in their dollars a question that private companies or for the sport in canada and the philippines or lot for these kind of grow up this will go on for quite a long time if you look at the population density. surely beings as of zero three hundred fifty. have buttons for square kilometer and were asked about for

less than four so i mean if you don't charge in a country which is so densely populated. it's quite unfair i think the camera could certainly find a means when there's a will there's a way likes to make sure everybody about human rights about democracy and about the environment but it seems to be quite slow an act to me in this case. the us ambassador to russia has said to huge aircraft carriers car i mean the mediterranean there to send a clear signal to moscow. each of the carry is operating in the mediterranean at this time represent one hundred thousand tons of international diplomacy if russia truly seeks better relations with the united states it must cease its destabilizing activities around the world you just heard the u.s. ambassador to russia calling to a u.s.
