governing coalition goes into a tailspin as the freedom party says all of its ministers acquitting in the fallout over a video sting against the party leader. testing the limits of iran's quadrupling production of low enriched uranium tension with the us from the nuclear deal unravels. and swedish prosecutors seek an arrest warrant for julian a song to reopening a rape investigation setting the stage for an extradition tussle with the u.s. .

it's 1 o'clock here in moscow and you're watching out international live from our studio with me. welcome to the program. austria's a governing coalition has been left in tatters this monday after the right wing freedom party announced that all of its ministers to step down the mass resignations are in response to the chances attempt to sack the interior minister over his response to a corruption sting that's tarnished the party's image peeta all over has the details. what's happened is is this western code has been trying to clear the decks really here he's been trying to distance himself as much as he can from the beat the tape scandal and what he said is that he needs the interior minister as well as others to be part of a transparent investigation. i am of the firm conviction that full transparency and a complete and impartial explanation is now needed. it all leads to a conflict situation which would have concluded if the interior minister. had

withdrawn from his functions he didn't take that step and in this respect i decided to in consultation with the federal president and i would recommend the dismissal of the interior minister but all of this is part of the fallout from the the bombshell really that was the be thick tape or the a big thick gate scandal as it's being called in some circles in which well it cost former vice chancellor christine straka his job he stood down on saturday after this video of a emerged ready with him in a look a bit thin villa talking to you a woman who purports to be representing a wealthy russian who we understand has a latvian passport who said that she wanted to make multi millions over hundreds of millions of euros worth of investment in austria and perhaps could even look to to purchase a big share in a newspaper in order to try and promote and his party.

media will lie to him. when he sees. this. yes it was stupid yes it was responsible yes it was a mistake but at the same time it was a victim of a targeted political attack that he used illegal means but when we're looking at positions that some from the freedom party hold in the cabinet and major positions talking about the foreign ministry the health ministry that offense ministry all of these posts now have nobody filling them as it were what we have heard from sebastian courts is he was never going to work with the freedom party after the scandal broke he's called for fresh elections snap elections really and they're going to have to come quite quickly because if we look to the opposition in austria the social democrats of austria they're saying everybody should go including sebastien courts. and that actually interim government should take over until there

can be fresh elections we are just days out though from big european parliamentary elections and parties who are campaigning at the moment are certainly using this candle in austria to say well in particular in angola merkel's words that she was campaigning in zagreb in croatia she said look at this it shows you can't trust the populist you can't work with them and they'll only let you down we haven't to deal with populist movements that in many areas a contemptuous of this values who want to destroy the europe it has long been known to try to win populist destabilize our press freedom and democracy far right populists are the enemies of freedom strikers is only the 1st domino to fall getting ready for soviet or brown and other extreme right wing puppets of moscow's leash but what this could do is actually throw a major spider in the works of a plan put forward by material the deputy prime minister of italy to try and build

a block of right wing more right wing parties in the european parliament as it stands at the moment parties that the subscribe to that viewpoint is set to win $250.00 out of the $751.00 seats that are available however a big problem would be a big problem that exists right now for them is that nobody really wants to work with the austrian freedom party right now following this scandal. has quadrupled its production of low enriched uranium processing the limits of the floundering 2050 nuclear deal is a fresh escalation with the united states which pulled out of the deal more than a year ago and saw iran to suspend its commitments and this month has our middle east correspondent plus libya. iran has quadrupled its production of low in which the rainy of the country's capacity to enrich uranium has been increased without. a

new chains or a centrifuge the design information related to these has been submitted to the international atomic energy agency this comes against the backdrop of an increase in tensions between tehran and the united states if iran wants to fight that will be the official end of the iran never threatened the united states again. iranians have stew troll for millenia while aggressors all gone economic terrorism and genocidal taunts won't and now this follows an increase in tensions between the sides that was sparked by the american administration's deployment of bombers and also an aircraft carrier to the persian gulf and this was because of perceived threats from to read and now the iranian president has responded by saying that he is open to holding crisis talks with international partners but he has said that iran will not respond positively to any kind of threats more we welcome to go we do not negotiate with a party that behaves like

a bully and to exert money for out of his pocket and force against all talks we do not hold such negotiations with anybody. already everywhere we go in the middle east it's a real honor and major destabilizing influence in the middle east spread destruction and the leaders of iran our record piers the world's largest financier of international terrorism behind every problem is already. with trying to do is get the wrong to behave like a normal they should now the united states has been imposing a maximum pressure campaign against iran ever since the nuclear deal collapsed and at the same time has been imposing crippling sanctions earlier this month however in iran did warn that it would begin enriching uranium to higher levels and this it said was the remaining signatories to the deal did something to it the american 3 also protect them from american penalties now europe is at pains to do this but

it's far from clear whether or not the europeans can actually succeed in this washington claims that iran is really aiming at developing nuclear weapons to iran has consistently denied this and it's worth pointing out at the same time that the nuclear watchdog the international atomic energy agency has never found iran. i lay ssion of any stipulations of the deal what we are seeing now however is an increase in some 3.76 percent enriched uranium now a spokesperson for iran's nuclear agency has said that this does not mean that iran will increase the number of centrifuges in use which is one of the terms of the agreement but however in weeks it could reach the 300 kilogram limit and that is a term that was set out in the 2015 deal they have informed the nuclear watchdog the international atomic energy agency and as of yet there's been no response from this so the real concern is that iran will go beyond the limitations therefore sit

by the nuclear deal and although the public statements from both tehran and washington are that neither side wants to see them the 2 countries go to war the concern is that any kind of miscalculation at this particularly tenacious time could result in the whole situation spiraling out of control we are in a pre-crisis situation right now and a lot depends on the political will and the determination of the europeans to join russia and china are the other signatories to the party in order to preempt this where i'm getting into a full blown crisis is a very critical situation and we are at a crossroads basically of peace and war you got a rock president in the white house so our own did by. thursday for another war with iran. with saudi arabia and

israel iran. was may instigate false planted and so forth in order to lure mr trump to war with iran despite is the stated intention of limiting him serve to economic warfare which is really as bad as war itself. you know the security council has rejected a russian request to hold a discussion on a new controversial language along ukraine russia says the law is a violation of international agreements and accuse the council of double standards we deeply regret that a number of delegations nevertheless decided to apply double standards in discussing the queen in charge pic in the security council of the united nations we understand this is a topic that is not pleasant for you because it does not make it possible for you to justify your charges in kiev. who are violating the

right fundamental rights and freedoms of millions of their own citizens. live now to our new york correspondent caleb maupin caleb what was the mood like in the un security council. well russia brought to the 15 member body that leads the united nations a proposal to discuss the russian language in ukraine now there was just recently a bill signed into law by ukraine's outgoing president poroshenko on may 15th that stipulates that all ukrainian citizens from now on are obliged to use the ukrainian language in all areas of life and it's important to point out that even according to the lowest estimates the most conservative estimates at least a 3rd of those living in ukraine speak russian as their primary language now russia wanted to bring this up at the un security council but that proposal for discussion was blocked and when the russian ambassador tried to raise his object and

objections he was then interrupted by the british representative let's look at what happened. to distinguish absence of the russian federation he's not giving an explanation of votes he's giving a substantive intervention on a meeting which is not happening in so doing mr president he shows disrespect to this council and he shows disrespect for the ruling that you just gave him a skin him to limit his remarks to an explanation of his vote and. asking you to give me the authorization to complete my statement you can continue your statement now at this point russia is saying that it intends to bring this issue of languages in ukraine to the security council on one more occasion so people are waiting to see what happens next with this but it was rejected when russia brought it up to the security council. caleb maupin reporting from new york science caleb. swedish prosecutors are seeking and the arrest warrant against wiki leaks founder

julian assange has the details on after this break. you know world of big partisan group. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deep to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. make its manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class

to some project themselves. the final merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room. in the real news room. welcome back to the program swedish prosecutors have requested an arrest warrant for wiki leaks founder julian assange and south so they reopened a rape case against him last week the ecuadorian embassy in london meanwhile has started handing over the whistle blows possessions to u.s. authorities who are also seeking asylum his extradition breaking down the latest developments his polly. today is the start of these sort of formal proceedings

whereby ecuador hands over someone just personal possessions in order for us prosecutors to get their hands on them it's expected that there's 2 police officers and a prosecutor from the so that i can then be going through his things presuming is accumulated quite a few possessions and 70 is holed up inside and according to wiki leaks neither julian assange nor his legal team nor u.n. representatives have been allowed to be for this process in the wiki leaks that is a kristof roughs and has said that what's happening today is illegal on monday before. the embassy official in london for their masters in washington the trump administration. to behave like it's the wild west so u.s. authorities have until mid june to potentially expand the charges against asuncion at the moment his extradition request from the u.s. says that he's wanted for conspiracy to hack and government computer but there's

concern from wiki leaks that once the u.s. prosecutors get their hands on someone just computer hard drives that charge could be handed out and made much more serious now julian assange just support says i have been head you can see they're still here outside the embassy they've been heckling people that go in and out there's been a few police officers they are very unhappy with what's happening and we spoke to a few of them it's a disgrace that the british government should be attempting to persecute you really and he's done nothing but tell the truth he had to be a witness. of the. travesty of justice. things belong to julian assange because of government and the mission. that we would just wonder if the u.k. has reached. the intent to commit a crime. so you can take a. police officer is coming and going all day as we're watching both the entrance

is the main entrance to the embassy but there's also a back exit which there's no traffic now so i can show you but there's a police van there and a police officer walking past a side exit i straight to the full month hold the ecuadorian consul here in london he said he was actually dismissed by the new leadership when lenin miranda came to power because of his support for julian a son. illegally these abuses what is happening is basically stealing things from a person who cannot defend. today. not obliged to. take the things straight away today. today. by the front door. basically. coming

to us. as for the money shot that picture potentially of us soldiers computer being taken out and handed over to us processed prosecutors are just taken out well according to the former console that i spoke to that he says that after video agency court astonished being dragged out of here against his will last month the authorities the ecuadorian officials inside are going to make it their priority to try in a raid the cameras this time around. a long time supporter of june innocence we spoke to says the search may come as a blow to the whistle a legal case. disgraceful way for an independent sovereign nation to behave but that's what they're doing i don't know exactly what they want to find but they're going to get an awful lot they're going to get. judy and legal notes from the legal meetings what should have been private legal meetings that he's had in the embassy obviously i think that's of great concern to those who are preparing to fight is

actually just in case here i think that the 7 years that julian spent in the embassy war very hard on him he's an incredibly resilient person but i did see the cost exerted on him i don't think that you didn't should have served any time at all for his enormous achievements in reinventing journalism. inspiring not just chelsea manning but all of the whistleblowers which so show since you've been in a measurable benefit to the world we should be extremely grateful to julian what has happened to him is a travesty as we mentioned prosecutors in sweden have requested and the rest warrant for the wiki leaks founder if granted it would be the 1st step to the side extradited from the u.k. where he's currently serving a 15 week prison sentence back in 2012 last week stockholm decided to reopen a rape case against him after to prove his guilt dropped in 27 to. now

undocumented migrants most of those individuals would said to be undocumented migrants and they've now described themselves as being the black vests they would shouting at parts of times at the airports some people who had them saying certain clips that france doesn't belong to the french that everyone has a right to be here let's take a little look now at what happened at the airports you. good good good good good good good good good well that situation became heated enough and they're all reports that police used tear gas to trying to push those undocumented migrants to try and get them out of the terminal and to try and bring things back to normality and asylum policy has long being something that many people are unhappy about here in front so we know that there's

a big government crackdown that's been taking place the introducing you saw a limited migration bills last year which haven't gone down very well and we heard at the engines 2018 these are official figures in front that the the number of deportations of illegal aliens who fronts had actually increased by 2. 20 percent so that has really riled people up and that's one of the reasons why the. saudi cargo ship believed to be carrying 2 consignments of military equipment which rights groups could be used in yemen has docked at the italian port of genoa is being met by protests and top workers there have reportedly refused to note any more materials on to the vessel. jim of issues of the scenery and beyond gentle voice taking to the streets because of the city's pacifist tradition the docks in our port to load equipment that could be used during a war like the one being fought in yemen where many have died among the civilian
