of soliciting publishing classified u.s. government information. as you can see some what amounts to here in this exclusive. video agency has obtained that was apparently shot by one of the inmates at the high security prison here in the united kingdom where the wiki leaks founder is currently serving his 50 week sentance. skipping bell in the united kingdom now at the end of may we know that he was transferred to the prisons health well and indeed here in the united kingdom the courts did decide to postpone a hearing at the westminster magistrate's court late last month due to his ill health as he was unable to appear not even via video link and indeed the wiki leaks they too believe that his condition is worsening by the day there being a higher security guards or maximum security prison it's difficult for anyone but
5:03 pm
julian spent 7 years combined in the ecuadorian embassy before their. medical treatment without most of the article 3 limbs now on top of that nonsmoker he was indeed visited by the un special rapporteur on torture. having said that british politicians here in the united kingdom including foreign secretary jeremy hunt they believe that this is not a matter for exterior interventions and only a matter for the british judicial system here in the united kingdom so let's recap exactly where we are asked now of course the case was reopened after that we keep leaks co-founder was hauled out of london's ecuadorian embassy last month he spent up to 7 years there fearing for extradition to the united states in that time he was confined to the premises and in the last year or so his internet was cutoff and
5:04 pm
his connection to the outside world was severely limited now as i say the u.k. is currently reviewing extradition requests from both the united states and sweet and meanwhile though of course in the united states they've introduced 17 indictments against juventus on late in may charging him on to the espionage act which for that he faces a sentence of life imprisonment actually the sum of 175 years in prison if found guilty however to his. supporters and creating campaign is activists and indeed janice they believe that you are such as a valiant campaigner for truth in fact they believe they should be applauded and not pass a cute hit for simply telling the truth. all right let's head north where world leaders have taken to the stage in st petersburg including the russian and chinese leaders in the lengthy q. and a the international economic forum president putin told the packed congress
5:05 pm
whole america's push for dominance could be a driving force towards something more than just the economic the spirits or corresponded of the form elite to trying to. shove a nazi who was the moderator up the defense signature session give us a taste of the main event. which is why wouldn't you meet him without any conditions or. did i refuse i wasn't invited you would know what kind of negotiate a trump is he is a wonderful businessman at 1st he terminates an existing contract then he stops playing by the rules then there are forced negotiations and in the end he gets a deal which is favorable to him that he wants the same after something similar happened to japan what will happen with you. or. maybe i have an answer to this question in my notes.
5:06 pm
you see it is good i asked it generally it's good that you hear and asking questions now i was here last year the year before that and this event was always moderated by western journalists this time though when it was you know questions about russian meddling or russian interference but you had many other things to talk about that are very important for this world right now right now they will only have one plenary session. that was dedicated to russia settling into the american elections though i didn't think it was morris going into that one more time yet and the time passed and we have the reports it was obvious that there's nothing to talk about that was that and there were a lot of things that we could have discussed it in terms of china russia cooperation road balance cooperation. russian economic. tokenization sure and i think it was very indicative also that. person could then
5:07 pm
presidency that were for us their diplomatic you know my question today what answer me straight forwardly that when i was asking them about the trade or because i do believe it is the most important economic topic of today between china and america they were sort of hitting hinting at the. american side starting war but they wouldn't get the blame the americans are a very good planning but both of them pretty much agreed that. they could not be the global war all the global economy and free trade with protectionism and isolationism and if we want to leave together in one world that we better do it together so if we just make it clear for viewers so pete was talking about the new regime economically unions are it is an equivalent of the e.u. so to say but when it comes to the former soviet republics in russia but you were
5:08 pm
talking about trade wars that was of course the number one talk but because you were sitting right next to vladimir putin and the chinese leader xi jinping now i just want to play you a segment of that discussion when the leaders. they were quite the metaphorical in the way the answer so peace question let's take it was. but you know if you're unhappy with fleas in your coat you can simply throw a fur coat into the oven it's that same sea of us natural that he flew over new. salman's e. has explained the tariff war as a fight between globalization and to globalization the question is where does russia stand in the fight for the economic superiority get this ship was loose is a good chinese proverb when the tigers are fighting in the valley a smart monkey sits out of the way and watches how and then. so you see the presidents are not giving me this but it's clear who they're talking
5:09 pm
about and it's clear that they are not the ones war initiating this conflict when it comes to the economic international battlefield play that's what i meant that were very diplomatic in their answers because both of them are way to france to actually point fingers at anyone in particular but i think well understand that they meant america and they meant that we didn't start this trade for america started and it's best that we need to clean up together because it is not a good thing for the world economy and then we went on to talk about russian sanctions we got to the russian sanctions are we got to that point a bit later and the line up of the panel was very interesting as well because we had the leaders of. the biggest country russia the 2nd biggest economy china of course there's no disrespect to the smaller countries but the e.u. members that were there on that panel there are perhaps not the most important
5:10 pm
voices in brussels but still they have something very important to say right and it was great to see how you dug into the matter with them they were saying that in many cases. even though they support the common position of the european union. in many cases they're against the anti-abortion sanctions and this is not the way to go right but actually i wouldn't agree with you when you're so. that the voices don't really matter in the u. because the sanctions they're actually reenacted the latter so their voices do matter if either of them i point out voted against the sanctions that the sanctions will be off so that was a very important point to use to try to cause them and i mean you could tell that their hands are tied and they couldn't say that we really want the sanctions to be off that we're part of the european union but that's like the usual answer that you
5:11 pm
european representatives give and i mean we can understand them right because they're not in a position to go against the whole union but they're very clear about the message that it's crazy that even the people who are actually putting these sanctions in place. in 5 minutes are looking for ways to trade somehow with russia and this is double standards that shouldn't be taking place and it is better for everyone involved for the sanctions to be off and i believe it's very important that you were able to get this kind of answer from the. british prime minister or trees i'm a house official you stepped on as leader of the conservative party the post she's held for 3 years now the scramble to replace her moves into overdrive nominations for the party leadership start with 11 county that's currently voting for the top job pauly boy who takes
5:12 pm
a look at who's in the running. she's been burned by bragg's it and now the woman known as teflon to reason is on the way out after repeatedly failing to push her e.u. withdrawal deal through parliament last month the pm finally announced that she'd be stepping down and she did it with a whimper rather than a bang the 2nd female prime minister but certainly not the last. i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had to the opportunity to serve the country i love there is looking at the number of candidates that have joined the race to replace may as prime minister may find themselves crying to and they're seeing what's going on here they've got no say in what's going on they can see there's 11 people standing up saying they want to unify think it's. always call me no it's even worse when this has got to be
5:13 pm
detrimental the long term of the conservative party sure officially the race only begins on monday but already there are in leadership contenders with 2 having already dropped out and the british media is indulging itself poring over the kaleidoscope of varying degrees of soft and hard bragg's it's candidates like foreign secretary jeremy hunt health secretary matt hancock or environment secretary michael gove although there is already one clear favorite. and he's already got donald trump's seal of approval no worse i like your my i've liked him for a long time he's i think you do a very good job but the tory leadership contest is
5:14 pm
a complicated process. yes and past experience has shown the favorite never wins so this is anybody's race each candidate has to have the support of at least 8 members of parliament from that conservative m.p.'s will be asked to vote several times in order to whittle down the crowd of power hungry politicians to just one final head to head battle now at that point the decision will be turned over to conservative party members that grassroots conservatives that could be pulled from down the road or treasure who lives next door and it is there a who will ultimately decide who becomes the next prime minister with such a crowded field of hopefuls this summer britain is bracing itself for a political popularity contest like no other as for 2 reason may the woman that's
5:15 pm
been forced to leave 10 downing street before securing britain's departure from the e.u. will stay on as a lame duck leader her job now is to keep the chair warm for several more weeks until busy one of this lot finally takes over the top job. we heard from a member of the british economic think tank to say this is serious both luis trees and the successor. well unfortunately she's left behind very very difficult situation for the incoming prime minister i think another vote unlikely in the shorts because this will be seen as not simply trial by those type of votes it leaves i mean it kind of undermines the whole idea of democracy if you don't stick to results and then keep repeating the election over and over again until you get the result that the establishment wants so that would really really further
5:16 pm
undermine trust in politics nevertheless it's going to be very difficult given the the vast majority of m.p.'s are probably you're not going to like probably block any real bright deal so if we get said pro breck's its prime minister he's really he or she's really going to struggle to get through parliament and could even face a vote of no confidence to prevent the u.k. leaving with no deal which point he or she will probably have to call a general election and that will be hugely risky a leaked audio recording of the u.s. secretary of state discussing venice weyler has surfaced and it seems not all is going according to plan more or not right after this. china is not one to fight those to fight stop at the same time we're not afraid of it china is bold and resolute and he's able to defend its legitimate rights and
5:17 pm
interests china is still holding the door open for the us china trade negotiations if the united states wishes to proceed with them he needs to be more sincere i. seen this before in the eighty's with the rise of japan and the us had a response to rejigger the global currency markets that the plaza accord this is. the same people like a master plan for to action team after the crash of 1900 so china doesn't seem to be wanting to play that game so they're going to have to come up with some other strategy that's the moment appear on the horizon.
5:18 pm
you're back with r t international the united states continues to ramp up pressure on president mature rose government in venezuela announcing new sanctions against a state owned oil company but it seems that washington is still on sure about the future of the lot an american nation and whether should in fact stepped on a leaked audio recording suggest the u.s. secretary of state is finding it difficult to unite the fractured venice with an opposition into wall force here shorty's killam open. mike palm peo has been caught making some comments about venezuela that were not intended for the prime time viewers apparently he's not sure who would replacement their oh if his regime change efforts are successful. just to keep the opposition. difficult the moment. everybody is going to be the. president
5:19 pm
of the. people. they're the rightful heir. pompei i was pretty clear about the fact that this discussion was not meant for public consumption so we got a favorable response. this is what america's top diplomat said at the united nations when the lights were on and the cameras were rolling now we have a new leader. in venezuela who has promised to bring elections and constitutional order back to venezuela and security back to the region we cannot delay this critical conversation which has the world's attention for the sake of venezuela and the region we must support the venezuelan people and do so right now the mike pompei o isn't too concerned about what happens in venezuela after the current leadership is overthrown now let's not forget that the us meddling in the country's internal affairs is motivated purely by selfless humanitarian concerns about the people so after regime change there are 40 plus contenders who will then fight it
5:20 pm
out for power now does that remind you of any recent events in current history take for example the us invasion of iraq dick cheney said that it would go well my belief is we will in fact be greeted as liberators but there's been nothing but chaos and civil war in iraq since the usa invaded there are 288000 deaths so far and counting and dick cheney wasn't completely clueless listen to what he said in 1904 when she got to iraq and took it over and took down saddam hussein's government the money going to put in place for take libya hillary clinton was delighted to hear that gadhafi had been put to the sword and we came we saw our died but now even barack obama admits that toppling the libyan government didn't come with a game plan for what happens next what he considers his worst mistake as president probably failing to. plan for. the day after.
5:21 pm
what i think was the right thing to do in. the intervening. libya but who needs planning right after all the people of venezuela would probably love to have their homeland go the way of iraq and libya nothing says freedom and liberation like having regime change followed by civil war and thousands of refugees fleeing for their lives it confirms something that we you know long suspected but you know now you know it is out of the open that the opposition is so internally divided washington you know would take over the figures like marco rubio who favor a radical regime change scenario which involves the effectively destroying the existing institutional structure that has been built in venezuela so in the words of john bolton to open up venezuela's oil sector to us and you know to really return as well to the pre 999 status quo where it was a reliable ally in the region and you know a reliable agent of the u.s.
5:22 pm
in opec to maintain a low while prices as the u.s. diplomatic cables themselves acknowledge. president trump sees things could be different between washington and moscow with quote they fully which running russia in the 2016 u.s. election was and still being pushed he was speaking to fox news on thursday i think was a good relationship with russia i think it's hurt by the phony which you know i did have a good relationship with russia yeah it's close to 2 months now since special counsel robert muller's report said donald trump did collude with russia to win the presidency of the firehouse and died on us democrats are still desperately trying to find a way to impeach the president now of building their case on up struction of justice allegations our senior correspondent takes up the story accuse city there are those who support those who want him impeached and moves who really really
5:23 pm
really want him impeached preferably now and in the painful way. say take for instance this particularly enthusiastic new york times contributor who has gone and written up actual articles of impeachment to save everyone's time i suppose or maybe just a hobby of his who knows others c.b.s. have impeachment track is literally counting congressmen who are calling for trump to be impeached like kids opening chocolate filled advent calendars 63 now out of 535 senators and representatives just a few 100 to go and trump will hiring just need a reason you can't impeach for annoying tweets about noxious has styles or know exists and collusion all that's left is obstruction when a subject of an investigation obstructs that in this to geisha or lies to
5:24 pm
investigators it strikes at the core of the government's effort to find the truth and hold wrongdoers accountable here's a question that's been giving lawyers migraines how or why does one obstruct an investigation an investigation that later proves he was innocent of the crime he was being investigated for the special counsel's report states that his investigation did not establish that members of the trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the russian government in its election interference activities namely any sort of collusion with russia it's almost impossible to have an obstruction of justice no underlying crime what makes trump especially awful obstruction is he voluntarily gave his investigators sometimes and writing material on how he allegedly tried to obstruct the investigation like when he reportedly told the then white house counsel to get rid of mueller 5 him and then allow that
5:25 pm
counsel to go and testify to mueller the faily new. times rows of fake implying that because white house counsel don't mind gannon was given hours of testimony to the special counsel he must be john dean time but i allowed him and all others to testify i didn't have to i have nothing to hide in fact trumpet boasted about what a good boy he was being about how much work load he had provided investigators the white house had to do over 20000 pages of documents the 2016 campaign 1400000 pages 20 white house employees gave voluntary interviews it's like trump was building an obstruction of justice case against himself and on top of that he was terrible at it. wasn't fod he investigated for
5:26 pm
674 days and only finished when he was done so this is it if you can figure out how to impeach trump for trying to conceal crimes he didn't commit contact your local democrat immediately i expect any time soon they'll be offering a reward it is not obstruction of justice in any way again this was the obstruction of justice not for a court proceeding of course this was not a court proceeding this was an informal investigation through an executive agency an executive body and so because of that the elements are a little bit different it would have to be willful omission or willful concealment or destruction of evidence during an investigation which of course did not happen in this case i don't think in the end there will be any consequences for obstruction because i don't think obstruction can be proven i do believe that the democrats are still real and the democrats want to make sure that they are not seen as having wasted $40000000000.00 of the taxpayer money in order to start our engage
5:27 pm
in an investigation and a spying campaign based on evidence that wasn't even legitimate. so i think the democrats are going to continue to try i think that will be a term that continues to be thrown around just so they can save face because they're looking to retake the white house in 2020. right from north to south america in chile you know where renewed clashes have erupted in the capital santiago the violence kicked off during a protest led by teachers who are demanding better working conditions i several demonstrators were detained the authorities used tear gas and water cannon to try and restore order friday's protests mark a 5th consecutive day of nationwide strikes are culturally around 45000 people gathered in the capital alone here to the mountains or revamped all of the education sector. a lot is
5:28 pm
a lot for another but why not check out the latest video. page 8000000000 views. so you say that brings this to the end of the series if we could just let josie marino walk away so we decided to treat up still used to a very special farewell because. we walk along an interesting path as a team but this time to go back to the times and thanks for putting on such a great body. with. the only thing that i didn't enjoy was my dancing. in moscow my dancing. on.
5:29 pm
well thankfully we nailed it literally but there we go. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development the only move really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. officer. to get up off the ground serve begin to pay down. them freeze on the sounds of an mit grown man mislead essentially.
5:30 pm
pushed it away from the officer. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one smiths and then when it happened on trace one as i'm sure he didn't hit him i never saw any contact between the 2 any kind went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and even turned 3. trump continues his promise that he'll place tariffs on goods from mexico if they don't do more to stem the tide of illegal immigrants crossing into america but he has little or no support in congress including from his own party what happens next in this game of chicken with america's southern neighbor we're taking a look on this edition of politics.
