offered this great free night and i don't agree with that at all i don't quite understand why the. patriots want to. last story to the future of the u.s. rebranding of shale gas as a freedom to try and sway reluctant european countries to say it's better than russia is. just one of the afternoon here in moscow very good afternoon from now in this is our international live from h.q. thanks for joining us so 1st then the un's top official on torture says that julian assange has been subjected to inhumane and degrading treatment both jurong those years he spent an ecuadorian embassy in london belmarsh prison where he's incarcerated. julissa. consequence is clearly she will not be able to access a little medical care for several years the much more seriously is how he has been

mentally and emotionally affected by the extremely hostile and increasingly arbitrary environment she has the actual street for several years so here she really shows all the symptoms that are typical for a person that has been exposed. to a correspondent and all because it got much more on this live down hey there what else did the you're an expert at the center scientist treatment and one of those claims based on crucially to. heaven mills mud so is the united nations rapporteur on torture he's a base that human rights expert for the red cross official he's been working with victims of political violence and persecution for about 20 years he's visited student of science in belmarsh high security prison where he's of course been remanded in custody for 50 weeks to to breaching bail in the u.k. now he submitted a report to the u.k.

government as well as submitting letters to the us and swedish authorities with his assessment on julian a song g.'s health he's spent 4 hours or so with the songs alongside medical officials as well looking at the conditions looking at what's going on with the wiki leaks founder as you heard there he said you know santa displays all the symptoms of psychological torture he's been quite scathing in what are you saying he's described his top treatment rather as the liberal concerted and sustained debussy's sadie's gravely concerned about of songes access to his lawyers. describing his treatment as a persistent progressively severe abuse judicial persecution and arbitrary confinement the u.k. government has said it's going to take note of his findings that it didn't agree with. all of them and jeremy hunt u.k. politician also stating that it's not right that i missed the masses getting

involved it's a matter for you take courts to decide what happens to assad's use extradited or not you can see the full episode of mr meltzer interview with going underground after fancy slightly later this is a quick preview of what he had to say. whether it was but prisoners political prisoners prisoners of war for years and but what we do in these cases you convert a doctor she's like a crystal your son should call which is designed to examine potential victims of treatment and to unite these standards and use the evidence was well when we look clearer. in the sunshine and be exposed to several. forms of cruel inhuman or degrading treatment which should lead to we can only describe the psychological course was leading shocked me but this particular case is that a single individual has been selected and singled out by several democratic states

and persecuted systematically as its just a manner to point to breaking. as you mentioned these concerns aren't shared by everyone as events in their foreign secretary are saying it's a matter for the courts indeed the u.k. courts crisp own songs these extradition hearing due to his poor health is noise stating he was unable to even hold a functional conversation due to the state of anxiety he was in the swedish courts have refused to postpone a hearing in absentia on those muscles charges that suit in a song faces that despite appeals from lawyers and human rights officials this is how wiki leaks describes what has been going on with the songs over the last few weeks. last year in the ecuadorian embassy it was extremely taxing they cut off his communications internet telephone calls and visits and they were spying on me and

they treated him in what in my opinion is an extremely sadistic manner and all of that weighs on somebody is held naturally. now mr boult says raise the grave concerns of a science being extradited to the u.s. where of course he now faces an additional 17 charges from u.s. person prosecutors. in relation to espionage originally he was charged with simply conspiring to hack computers which carry a lesser sentence now that mountain of charges if he's tried extorted and found guilty could mean he's in jail for decades if not even life or worse and that is the concern of human rights organizations and indeed many members of the journalistic the media community who do say that he's being probed prosecuted and persecuted indeed simply for doing his job. down famously up to appreciated get more from you later as we get more in on it made you an expert we heard from

the seals mel so was a guest on our he's going underground show the follow ups and i can tell you with him is on saturday 3 more u.s. democratic hopefuls have joined the chorus of those calling for president trump's impeachment after the retiring special counsel robert mueller said he could not exonerate trump of obstruction of justice claims but as our senior correspondent were goes those planes next impeachment is necessarily a recipe for democratic success. every so often america goes crazy for impeachment it's like the flu someone gets it and before you know it everyone sneezing all well and preaching they hoped and prayed mean you would get rid of the president but that isn't how the law works he couldn't do it the opinion says that the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing it's up to congress representatives and senators

to start impeachment proceedings in the media to rile up the mob q democratic presidential candidates tripping over one another to milk this impeachment frenzy for all it's worth when we talk about a process of impeachment it is about the texans prepare for impeachment that's what i've told my colleagues i believe that expungement proceedings will strengthen congress's hand in getting the information and the responses that they need to come to a conclusion about ultimate impeachment we took an oath to protect the cot and serve the constitution of the united states of america and the way we do that is we can impeachment proceedings now strangely enough the more senior slightly wiser politicians and quiet is not about bringing down the king over that probably loved

it but for now they seem content to merely dig deeper you don't bring an indictment where you don't put in page unless you have all the facts the strongest possible case. robert miller's assessment also makes clear that congress has a right we believe an obligation to continue our constitutionally mandated oversight without interference or stonewalling and follow the facts wherever they may lead odd our top democrats a happy to merely continue their investigations their voters and colleagues want to impeachment now but this is politics that's a hell of a lot dirtier and more cynical than most people would believe in the smarter folk they know they're being played. hard to believe what does trump gain from impeachment and again think about it 1st according to latest polls most americans are overwhelmingly against impeaching trump 2nd the

chances of trump being successfully removed from office are slim to none looks that none really sure democrats control the house of representatives but republicans run the senate they'll hardly vote against their own 3rd the last time the president was impeached bill clinton his approval rating soared in the aftermath by 10 percent no less you see now why trump himself is slightly provoking his opponents and is he talking about impeachment they are the impeach word impeached you can't impeach somebody that's doing a great job impeaching take it a preacher for any reason let's impeach him because the country is so successful we will update but i say how do you teach somebody the story great job do you impeach somebody because he created the greatest economic success in the history of our

country right and wrong move things in politics approval and votes of what counts and this is why top democratic presidential candidates kanzi to shut out. about impeachment democrats voters 70 percent of them want impeachment the candidates want their votes the democrat leaders want to win the presidential election they know that if they rush an impeachment and fail it will hurt them like hell trump he's playing the victim he wants to see his opponents fail and barris but as interesting as all of this is remind me what exactly these that they're going to impeach him for. you know some political commentary to see told us that in fact the democratic leadership understands that it won't be able to get impeached. nancy pelosi knows that it's politically unpopular and she would be the 1st to go it sure

in the senate he knows that even if the house peaches donald trump then it goes to the senate and they have to convict him and they need 2 thirds of the senate to convict him and schumer knows that's never going to happen it didn't happen with bill clinton when they impeached bill clinton he won reelection so nancy pelosi is been around long enough to understand that the public doesn't really care about this and they're fed up with this whole russia nonsense and so they know that even if they have pictures of the house it's going to fail in the senate and donald trump i believe really wants to be impeached he's kind of egging them on you know hey do it if you what it's a horrible word it's a terrible thing but he's kind of prompting them to i dare you to do it because i think and i think nancy pelosi knows it will help trump.

next patrick is a might be a son of extreme far right tendencies according to the british army a leaked document which dates back to 2017 is exposed to use by senior officers to indicate signs of extreme and intolerant behavior in the ranks according to the document officers should look out for those who describe multicultural towns as lost and personnel who were involved colleagues in closed so she'll media platforms further the leaflet also calls to watch out for soldiers who make generalizations about muslims and jews however the controversial point which refers to puppets raised the most questions in british media because people in london whether they found that particular recommendation offensive or not. the specialist. why would they turn to question but shouldn't go. but maybe it does maybe the think you are not sure soros is you know what why would that be suspicious of it is a great story. now i don't i don't agree with that it all so i don't quite

understand why they would do the patriots not a bad thing it's it's an old fashioned term. doesn't make you a bad person does it no not change it's a good thing it's good to be proud of it depends on how do you define it as a love for a country no absolutely not patriotism is a good thing you know if you look at a lot of strong countries around the world you know the leading countries probably true it's wrong isn't it because then you're. because star person could be a normal person that you could be putting on the person into something based not a footnote to this story for you this lunchtime for their part the army says that the leaflet does not suggest that all patricks are extremists the defense ministry for the said it was drawing it was drawn up this originally for following the rest of 4 soldiers who were accused of alignment with an extreme group now

total change of scene and thought picture this is the middle of a night in kazakstan and suddenly someone is trying to break down your hotel door not exactly the setting for a restful night sleep but apparently was exactly the bizarre situation former british m.p. and george galloway find himself in when this is another twist eg cia director recently tried to barge his way into that hotel room during a conference in central asia is the man himself to tell you more. of the most part plex saying disturbing and frightening things are to happen to me in my life and those a lot happened to me in my life it's every hotel guests nightmare is someone trying to force their way into the busy room in the middle of the night my wife leapt out of bed 1st and began throwing furniture towards the door the individual kept on pushing and then flooding his shoulder against the door it was

a full blown attempt forced entry and after some minutes the security did arrive and arrested the interloper as soon as the security did that i opened the door seeking some kind of explanation to recognize very well the figure and to hear him say over and over again. james woolsey so if you need a reminder on what you may recall james woolsey was head of the cia back in the 99 he's famous rather creating interventions in the middle east and claimed that iraq was involved in the 911 terror attacks in the u.s. that's in fact so they wanted an invasion of the country for mr will see is yet to reply to a request for comment about what may or may not have happened in that hotel but he's not so reticent when it comes to talking about other controversial issues like these. melissa in toronto and bashar assad in syria if they are wringing their

hands so worried about demonstrations and i think we should be pleased about snowden i would given the son son i would prefer to seem hanged by the neck until he was dead rather than merely electrocuted when i do that way don't mess around other people. and i'm the. only for a very good to see that i went to his session to hear him speak he showed no signs of a hangover no signs of illness of any kind and not fully expected them to come and give me an explanation and apology but neither was forthcoming nor even a dr no and so i'm asking the cia know what this was all about was this attempt to harm me and if so why and what are they going to do about it or is this man not safe to be let alone beginning the title all of us on boston dog and former head of the cia much more to come this lunchtime who stay with me the u.s.

rebranded shale gas as a freedom project now trying to convince europe it's better than russia's move out with more on that after the break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v.

. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can sink i was going to go. by the way ways of that slide here. again this is not international good afternoon for me kevin owen next story for you lined up united states found a new way to market his shale gas to reluctant european customers another of label it a gas of freedom was done off picks up the story. ah can you smell this scent of freedom or you can well check your pipes seriously you

might have a gas leak and the intoxicating fumes could be all the more deadly for they come from the wrong place too with the u.s. in another year of record setting natural gas production i'm pleased that the department of energy is doing what it can to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of u.s. freedom to be exported to the world yep kids the next time i geography teacher asks you what's buried in that texan shale you can proudly old freedom and all mel gibson from braveheart on them and don't even think of wasting your money on the dirty desperate gas coming from the wrong places seriously for some exporting those freedom allah kills from the us to europe is a heroic milestone akin to defeating nazis 75 years up to liberate in europe from nazi germany occupation the united states is again deliver

a form of freedom to the european continent. and this genius freedom are getting is only the latest fad in america's push to monopolize the european gas supply chain ever since donald trump got into office his administration has been pushing this goal becoming increasingly aggressive with time we are committed to securing your access to alternate sources of energy so poland and its neighbors are never again held hostage to a single supplier of energy. when germany makes a mess of oil and gas deal with russia. you're supposed to guard against russia germany goes out and pays billions of dollars a year to russia. we have not deployed the full set of tools yet that could significantly undermine if not outright stop the project. we emphasize

that companies involved in russian energy exports are taking part is something that could prompt a significant risk of sanctions if you come up with the same actions or the car industry or german banks or the german chemical industry and so on and so on and then you tell them they have to keep their freedom rely on this same person that creates your economy are found sorry can't be honest ironically enough it seems that energy aside trump and co have done everything every possible thing to alienate europe from threats of a trade war to straight up trying to dictate policies to countries like germany so not only is it cheaper for the e.u. to get its gas from russia it naturally doesn't want to keep all of its eggs in one basket. germany is entitled to secure its energy requirements in various ways one

of these ways is russian natural gas i have a big problem with a 3rd country interfering in our energy policy german industry needs more room to to enhance and the supply is safety. saying molecules of freedom instead of natural gas is like calling or oil a liquid bomb magnet except the latter is actually rooted in reality now but well in the age of i phones and all our marketing we had to try the metro gets more expensive and the guys from russia or the market price for gas and they have to tell us something because the u.s. made this agreement with john kirk to explore natural gas to europe and he agreed and he said ok we take certain omar and the whole how to sell this so then businesses are try to make up the. better people

that it is more expensive. russia's foreign minister is commented on the recent attention of russian u.n. employees in kosovo. war that prisoner is ignoring its commitments to international law or over it he made those remarks in tokyo where is there an official foreign minister visit right now covering that. the breakaway region of cos of o. in southeastern europe was back in the headlines this week with an armed raid on areas in that region populated by ethnic serbs and that conflict took an extra twist when a un staff member from russia was 1st beaten up and then detained by a cost of our swat team well he was later released because of his diplomatic immunity but cos of our authorities now one thing you went to strip him off that

status the russian foreign minister was very critical of the authorities in pristina as we go it's the kosovo authorities behave the they have clearly got out of hand those who uproot tending to have control of the coasts of the e.u. and the us it's now clear they have none this kind of support coming from the west seems to instill the sense of impunity in kosovo thorax this close to the street and into the russian u.n. employees unjustifiable by old standards and then attempts to representative of his un status there is serious is she and we expect the un to react the russian top diplomat went on to say that kosovo has gone back on many of its commitments and trampled them under foot by creating their all armed forces they violated a very important u.n. resolution on kosovo and according to search it just goes to show how dangerous it is to turn a blind eye to have been valet sions of international law we already know that this

request by the costs of our authorities will be handed over all the way to the u.n. headquarters however moscow believes that it won't change anything serbia put its forces on high alert after tuesday's operation in costs of 0 which he still considers to be part of its own territory the authorities in pristina claim that their raids were specific. aimed at tackling organized crime the region of costs of all split from serbia after the nato intervention 20 years ago and it officially declared independence in 2008 however some countries including most importantly russia refuse to recognize its sovereignty if you try to reporting the. national so far this friday my name's kevin i would just remind the units in the coming hours and if you want any news on that are up or check out for me have a great day.
