economic forum speaking alongside other world leaders. british prime minister trees and. leader of the conservative party race to replace or is all the 11 candidates eyeing up. live from our international news center in moscow this is r t with global updates every hour the day my name's union o'neill our top story. a glimpse into julian assange just life behind bars artie's a video agency ruptly has obtained exclusive video footage showing him inside london's belmarsh prison the video features the wiki leaks founder looking quite frail now and is the 1st for his a risk on removal from the ecuadorian embassy almost 2 months ago the video was

taken inside the high security prison serving a 50 week sentence for skipping bill he's wanted by washington to answer charges of soliciting and publishing classified u.s. government information. as you can see june the sonship somewhat a man cia to hear in this exclusive footage r.t. right place video agency has obtained that was it apparently shot by one of the inmates at the belmarsh high security prison here in the united kingdom where the wiki leaks founder is currently serving his 50 week sentence for skipping bow in the united kingdom at the end of may we know that he was transferred to the president's health 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 health as he was unable to appear and not even video link and indeed the wiki leaks they

too believe that his condition is worsening by the day you know being in a higher security story maximum security prison it's difficult for anyone to julian spent 7 years of combined in the ecuadorian embassy before for. medical treatment without most of the article 3 now on top of that announcement 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 now of course the case was reopened after that we can expose founder was hauled out of london's ecuadorian embassy last month he spent up to 7

years they're fearing for extradition to the united states in that time he was confined to the premises and in the last year also his internet was qatar and 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 late in may charging him on to the espionage act for that he faces a sentence of life imprisonment actually the sum of a 175 years in prison if found guilty however to his supporters including campaigners activists and indeed journalists they believe that judas songes a valiant campaign if it's true in fact they believe you should be applauded and not pass acute it for simply telling the truth. let's head north or world leaders home to can to the stage in since petersburg including the russian and

chinese presidents in a lengthy q. and a at the international economic forum president putin told the park congress hall that america's push for dominance could be a driving force towards something more than just economic disputes or correspondent up the forum go on or to use sophie shevardnadze who was the moderator of the then signature so should give us a taste of the main event. which is why wouldn't she meet him without any conditions. that i refuse i wasn't invited to some time we know what kind of negotiated to transpose his wonderful business. at 1st he terminates and exists and contracts rights and then he stops playing by some rules and then there are forced negotiations and in the end he gets a deal which is favorable to him that he wants the same nafta that he something similar happened to japan what will happen was you.

maybe i haven't announced this question in my note. thank. you see it is good i asked it generally it's good that you hear and asking questions but for 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 because you had many other things to talk about that are very important for this world or the right moment i think we're already had one plenary session that was dedicated to russian 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 not to talk about that perspective and there were a lot of things that we could have discussed it in terms of china russia

cooperation road balco ratio and the russian economic. tokenization and i think it was very indicative also that. person could then presidency that were post their diplomatic you know my question today what answer me straight forwardly. when i was asking them about the trade war because i do believe it is the most important economic topic of today between china and america and they were sort of hitting hinting at the. american side starting war but they wouldn't be playing the americans are a very. plenty of that but both of them pretty much agree that. they could not be that global war all the global economy and free trade with protectionism and isolationism and if you want to weave together in one world that we better do it together so if we just make it clear for viewers soaping was talking about the rage

and economic 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 talking about trade wars that was of course the number one topic 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 a listen. but you know if you're unhappy with fleas in your fur coat you can simply throw a fur coat into the oven it's that's in c. of us natural 30 new chairman z. 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 loses a good chinese proverb when the tigers are fighting in the valley

a smart monkey sits out of the way and watches how it then. so you see the presidents are not giving mains but it's clear who they're talking about and it's clear that they are not the was war initiating this conflict when it comes to the economic international battlefield plan that's what i meant that were very diplomatic in their answers because both of them are way to brands to actually point fingers at anyone in particular but i think will understand that they meant that 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 the we went on to talk about russian sanctions we got to the anti-abortion sanctions so 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 the tunnel there are perhaps not the most important voices in brussels but still they have something very important to say 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 saying that the voices don't really matter in the e.u. because the sanctions they're actually reenacted the the latter so their voices do matter if either of them like i point out voted against the sanctions that the sanctions will be off so that was a very important point for you to try to ask 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 are part of the european union but that's like the usual answer that you 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 devil 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 them. for. all right let's move on to more global news this hour a british prime minister of treason may has officially stepped down as leader of

the conservative party poll she's held for 3 years now the scramble to replace her moves into overdrive nominations for the party leadership start monday with 11 come the currently vying for the top job polly boyd who takes a look at just who's in the rolling. she's been burned by bragged it and now the woman known as teflon to resign is on the way out after repeatedly failing to push her e.u. withdrawal deal through parliament last month the 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 during 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 you . know you always call me no it's even well me this is going to be detrimental the long term of the conservative party sure officially the race only begins on monday but already there are in 7 leadership contenders with 2 having already dropped out and the british media is indulging itself poor ing over the kaleidoscope of varying degrees of soft and hard brags that candidates like foreign secretary jeremy hunt health secretary match 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 a complicated process and past experience has shown that 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 the 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 that. the decision will be turned over to conservative party members that grassroots conservatives that could be from down the road or treasure who lives next door and it is they 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 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 well we also heard from a member of a british economics think tank who say he's a serious both await streatham a successor. well unfortunately she's left behind very very difficult situation for the incoming prime minister i think another vote likely in the short term because this will be seen as not simply a trial by those type of votes it leaves i mean it's kind of the mines 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 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 probably block any real breaks a 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 16 minutes into the program still to come a little audio recording of the usa could be of state discussing the venice will or has surfaced seems not all it's going according to plan that's coming up.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. see this before in the eighty's with the rise of japan and the us how to respond rejiggered to global currency markets at the plaza accord this is. the same people like a master plan for to action team after the crash of 1900 so china does seem to be wanting to play that game so they're going to come up with some other strategy that's the moment appear on the horizon.

welcome back to the program the united states continues to run all pressure on president mature rose government in tennis will announcing new sanctions against the state owned oil company but it seems that washington is still unsure about the future of the lots of american nation and whether in fact stepped on leap to order your recording suggests the u.s. secretary of state is finding it difficult to unite their fractured venice with an opposition into one cohesive force here starting with what we know. mike pompei always 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. it's really difficult the moment. everybody is going to be the. president 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 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 what you 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. 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 it you know is out in the open that the opposition is so internally divided washington you know would take over the figures like marco rubio favor a radical regime change scenario which involves effectively destroying the existing the institutional structure that has been built in venice where the you

know in the words of john bolton that to open up venezuela's busy oil sector to us and you know to really return but as well to the pre 999 status quo where it was a reliable ally in the region and you know reliable agent of the u.s. opec to maintain a low while prices as u.s. diplomatic cables themselves acknowledge. now a drug bust in central moscow has seen on the investigative journalist for the online media that medusa a wrist that was part of an investigation into gang activities russian police say they collected further evidence during a sweep of the journalists apartment double quarter can bring us more. well medusa claims yvonne going over his meeting with the source when he was stopped and searched by police on thursday officers claimed they found bags of a suspicious powder substance on him which they later determined to be the drug known as bath salts during

a subsequent search of his apartment other bags as well as scales were found according to the police he also told the media that go no it was denied a lawyer for 12 hours constituting a violation of his rights but the police claim that they made a lawyer available to him in accordance with russian law going off himself claims that the police planted these drugs on him and a written complaint he also said that he was beaten and refused 1st aid in detention an accusation that the police also busy deny it now citing earlier threats against cullen off alleging that he allegedly received when there was a convinced of his innocence saying he was targeted for his journalistic work the internet publication going over works for is based in lafayette and usually publishes works of kremlin opponents in russian according to reports several opposition journalists were already arrested today and released for protesting in front of the moscow police headquarters. base broadcaster

is facing his ations of double standards for reporting on n l g b t shoot march the cello has also previously reported on similar events worldwide in all its english language channel but the torah itself prevents any kind of homosexuality with penalties of up to 7 years in prison. that's it. with more l g p t representative in the public eye we discuss what impact they have so tell us who you are proud of why the west the well should know about them.

it's with me over 60 years of age with the compulsion do you respond ruth shall be punished whose imprisonment for a true 70 years. contemporary law is to continue to discriminate against migrants women and lesbian gay bisexual and transgender individuals. it may just be that. that cutter is trying to give some press freedom to al-jazeera it may just be that simple but it certainly is raising

a lot of eyebrows while they are state state oh and i believe they do care about making a profit and trying to discuss news that appeals to their particular audience and so if the english language version is trying to you know in some way pander or or just broaden its market for business purposes that's one thing but if it really is that they're trying to do something that might be perceived as disruptive or somehow corrupting the marketplace i think people would have a right to be concerned about that. all right i've crammed in as much global news as i could join shoulder in just over 30 minutes to see how he can stay close now though for more great program starting in moments.

and a very warm welcome to you you're watching us inside. china does not want to fight we have posed to fight stop at the same time we're not afraid of it china is both and resolute and he's able to defend its legitimate rights and interests and 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. officer. told to get up off the ground began to pat him down. and then freeze on the sounds of fighting in the grown man like wrestling essentially the officer who. threw his. twisted away from the officer. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then when it happened on 3 swung at the observations didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of 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 in a minute on 3. so what we've got to do is

identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront ation let it be an arms race and it is often spearing dramatic development only really and going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. i do.
