government information so you should. look to do so and use the situation. as you can see june the sonship somewhat a month ca to here in this exclusive footage are to please video agency has obtained that was a 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 bell 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 and 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

julian spent 7 years ago finding the evergreen embassy the. medical treatment for the most part of article 3 let's recap exactly where we are at now of course the case was reopened after the wiki 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 also his internet was cut off 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 janice they believe that judas songes a valiant campaign of for truth in fact they believe you should be applauded and not pass acute it for simply telling the truth. well the video comes shortly after the u.n. special report term torture claimed to have been exposed to psychological torture during his years in the ecuadorian embassy and is no suffering its consequences we spoke to mr meltzer about the way science has been treated and what could wait to be the future in fact if you watch that interview you can in full on air on r.t. america and online anywhere you like a lot to dot com it's going to air in around about 78 hours time. what we found is that mr sand shows all the symptoms that are typical for a person that has been exposed to prolong psychological torture what we have seen now during my visit was already alarming and what we have seen since then that his state of health has dramatically the area rated as predicted by
2:05 am
a psychiatrist the company my visit today mr sanchez no longer capable to participate in his own court hearings it is very important here that we speak about the risks that he would be exposed to in case of extradition to the us personally i'm convinced there is no chance he would get a fair trial in the united states and why do i say that while fair trial certainly generally requires a presumption of innocence now i don't have to explain to you what is the public opinion about the jewel in a stance in the us it's very difficult for him to get a unbiased impartial court hearing the fair trial also requires the gallery that he's actually being charged for something that is punishable now if you look at the 17 of the 18 charges are under the espionage act and all of them relates to activities that any investigative journalist would conduct and would be
2:06 am
protected under i believe it's the 1st amendment of the us constitution under the freedom of press and freedom of expression and then the 18th charge the so-called hacking charge doesn't relate to him doesn't claim that he actually hacked a computer to receive information but he obtained all of the information he published by someone who had full clearance so he as any other investigative journalists just received this information i think you could construct. a fence perhaps if all the allegations are proven in relation to you know trying attempting unset. unsuccessfully to to help someone breaking a code but not succeeding it's a bit like charging someone for trying to exceed the speed limit but not succeeding because the car's too weak i don't think that makes sense from a prosecutorial standpoint even if the radical if you could construct
2:07 am
a certain criminal energy i don't think that makes any sense at all it certainly doesn't justify the type of suffering he has been going through and that he would likely face when when extradited to the us. international monetary fund the i.m.f. submitted it made mistakes in argentina managing director christine lagarde claimed a wednesday that the i.m.f. underestimated argentina's complicated becoming situation there were slogan a zation of 189 countries aimed at promoting international monetary cooperation and facilitating international trade but the success of the measures taken to improve the economy in many countries lately not only argentina remains questionable was our senior correspondent the of explains. you've got to understand we're just people and people make mistakes you meet we might oversleep and be late to work likewise the i.m.f. just people but when these schools up there is tens of billions of dollars on the
2:08 am
line it was an incredibly complicated economic situation that many actors including us underestimated a bit when we started trying to help and put together together with the argentine authorities a program to deal with the most critical sectors of the economy put yourself in the shoes you are the absolute last resort of any country and those a company of begging for help they're like addicts take argentina a 3rd of the population lives below the poverty line g.d.p. and freefall down 6 percent last year joblessness hopelessness in the shadow of economic chaos but there's light at the end of the tunnel the i.m.f. shining with $50000000000.00 in loans with strings attached austerity to the bone budget cuts tax and terrified the usual stuff that makes miserable
2:09 am
generations. this strike aims to reject the tears hike for public services transportation and above all to confront the adjustment policy of mary symmetry of the governess and the service of the program for international monetary fund not that i'm going to make it easy for my recent mockery of the next government because they still want to have a relationship with that we are willing to fight argentina is an old hand at this making the same painful mistakes in 2001 they took an i.m.f. loan jaring an economic crisis as usual mistakes were made and the i.m.f. are just people when the crisis got a teeny bit worse. q nationwide riots the government collapsing and debt being defaulted on.
2:10 am
and the i.m.f. are good people they had no problem admitting that everyone else messed up even worse than they did it would have been an ugly crisis anyway perhaps not quite as bad if the fund has supported a change in strategy earlier it isn't that mistakes are only made with tina the i.m.f. makes mistakes with everybody greece for example the economy wasn't restored jobs weren't created and the quote notable failure is the bull made made everything worse and like argentina the greeks were also choked with masochistic levels of a stereotype. in south korea i.m.f. loans and fine print conditions ended up only increasing unemployment you know that people say that you should try everything once well i.m.f. loans really don't belong in that category.
2:11 am
with the bolivia they did everything the i.m.f. told them to privatized water utilities and e.g. transport industry the need for everything to start going bankrupt and collapsing left and right and only when they chose to ignore the i.m.f. said vice the group coverage begin years of suffering for nothing. mistakes. were used to before but now would come true with dignity oh you can only pose it had to be decided by the before but now we can make our own plan we have. to ask the us ambassador about help who had to go polish this but know the poetics no country is more democratic. see there's confusion misunderstanding about the point of i.m.f. loans few things if any actually improve mistakes are made liberally the i.m.f.
2:12 am
are just people as i mentioned know the real great thing about i.m.f. loans the amazing thing that nothing else in life can replace is the moment you pay them off internationally for a terribly and fundamentally free now that's a feeling that money can't buy the i.m.f. the world bank institutions like that make these sorts of mistakes and i put that in quotation marks fairly often. most of the time when you look more closely you will understand that the mistake really wasn't a mistake so much as it was a desire to see this situation in such a way that the i.m.f. could participate and help the government that it supports the i.m.f. is really a kind of international economic appendage of the u.s.
2:13 am
and its allies that control the i.m.f. and i believe the the u.s. . was behind a lot of this. changing of the guard here with the right right wing and ministrations in argentina and brazil ecuador and places like that so it's part of the u.s. policy political policy overseen the consequences of that good is also part of the u.s. dollar policy interest rate policy and now the global economy and therefore us in the trade promises. the york times has been forced to apologize for misreporting on the scriptural poisoning in the u.k. back in march last year. wrote that the cia director gina housefull showed president trump images of dead ducks and ill children allegedly from the scene of the attack and the british authorities quickly confirm the photos indeed were not related to the incident in new york times took 2 months to issue
2:14 am
a correction kellam open has more on the story. you're remember when the new york times dropped a bombshell about how gina haskell the cia director had convinced donald trump to send russian diplomats packing in response to the screwball poisoning by showing him photographs of dead ducks and sick children except those are torts turned out to be fake news the author has apologized i regret the error and over my apology i strive to get information right the 1st time that is was subscribers pay for but when i give something bone on fix it so this is how they fixed it an earlier version of this article in correctly described the photos the jena house bill showed to president trump during a discussion about responding to the nerve agent attack in britain on a former russian intelligence officer miss haskell displayed pictures illustrating the consequences of nerve agent attacks not images specific to the chemical attack in britain let's break this down
2:15 am
a little bit more so gina haskell the cia director shows donald trump images of the impact of nerve agents here is what the original article said ms haskell showed pictures the british government had supplied her of young children hospitalized after being sickened by the nova choked nerve agent that poisoned the script hall's she then showed a photograph of ducks that british officials said were inadvertently killed by the sloppy work of the russian operatives so donald trump sees these images of sick kids and dead ducks and he is furious with russia now back then that made sense after all u.k. media was reporting that 3 children had gone to the hospital after receiving bread from the screen paul's and feeding it to ducks however this story fell apart the next day the children were fine they were not affected in any way and furthermore no ducks were harmed either there were no other casualties other than those previously stated no wildlife were impacted by the incident and no children were
2:16 am
exposed to or became ill as a result of the incident so. exactly to the cia director showed it trump she showed donald trump images of horror that had nothing to do with the incident at hand but here's another question why did it take so long to correct this correction was delayed because of the time needed for research the correction wasn't published for 2 entire months afterwards the initial article cited people briefed on the conversation whereas the new correction cited a person familiar with the intelligence time well spent kaleb oppen r.t. new york footnote to this the russian embassy in washington responded to the new york times correction it criticized the length of time it took for the mistake to be addressed and called for an end to disinform ation while normal relations between russia and the us to be restored. china gets patriotic commit the ongoing trade war with the us with defined songs going viral on social media now it's just

one of the stories i had this weekend with me of another. seen this before in the eighty's with the rise of japan and the u.s. tatar response rejiggered the global currency markets that the plaza accord. the same people like a master plan for tension team after the crash of $1000.00. 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 and have a moment appear on the horizon. and greece has long positioned itself as a sovereign player within the e.u. it can stand up to brussels put its foot down when it comes to its own national interests but when it comes to dealing with the trumpet ministration is the

. kicking about the sanctions not just with karaoke american chicken and pork it seems are off the menu there in response to the current u.s. trade restrictions but there is a solution and sidelined all this a leading russian meat producers told r.t. that they're very willing to try to fill the gap in the market then. the beginning of this year was started. suppliers chicken meat and more those 30 producers in russia will buy chicken to china. to get up a great potential to supply as much as maybe 200000 pounds to the chinese market or
2:21 am
equivalent of a half a $1000000000.00 but at the moment the chinese the largest consumer of meat. in the world to call so most of 50 percent as little and russia fortunate today doesn't have access russia or produces or how access and his market very much hopeful that in the near term will get that access and will be able to provide high quality for orders to the chinese market. here when one of the summer's biggest tennis tournaments the french opens but embolden the sexism scandal bad weather forced organizers to change any use for so much as leaving the female semi finals inside courts where the women's tennis association is blasted upmove they say they deserve to play in the prestigious sense of course just like the men fall asleep looks at the driving forces in sport sponsorship. the semifinal matches in the women's french open in tennis have been held away from same to court and at the same time
2:22 am
now the organizers to frame that position they say that this allows for the maximum number of spectators to watch these equally prestigious games but some see it as the latest example in an industry that denounces female athletes what is tiring and what is really unfortunate in this more than anything is that women have to sit you know athletes female athletes they have to sit in different positions and have to justify their scheduling and their involvement in an event or their salary or their approach to need to accusations of sexist tendencies in school a common the most glaring lack of equal pay some say there's a logic behind the disparity in what the athletes it's a comparison we shouldn't even make female models earn more than male models and nobody says anything why because they have a larger following internists to whoever gathers a larger audience earns more it's not a particularly politically correct comment to make but it is better top by facts white now here in france is the biggest women's sport ornament the female fifa

world cup size money is what some $4000000.00 twice what it was back in 2015 but nearly 10 times less than what the winner of the males tournament receives view is of the women's world cup football still fall far short of the week 1000000000 of us that the menstruation pulls in in 2750000000 people watched the women's games of record but it was still fall short of the men's numbers it's going to take a long time if not for ever for attitudes to change women's football no well no i don't like women's football it just doesn't fascinate me it's not how i want to see women but i will support a french team and i hope they win against south korea and what's next you going to ask. to watch a boxing match between women in a rugby match i don't want to think that so many you can't make people like something they don't still big corporations know they can turn
2:24 am
a nice profit by the new audience say they might not necessarily. be day 5 of l g p t community but they know that they can turn and i think that by appealing to this to even come off with a rainbow themed bottle of mouthwash and but vices i mean why be ridiculed for it if one looks at a range of topics featuring 9 flags each trip is into a different section of the l.t.p. teaching community. blake is for a sexual says don't feel sexual attraction to anyone grace for great a sexual sometimes feel sexual attraction and demist sexual sin only feel it if they know someone well white nordstrom on a sexual allies and purple represents the whole community so don't worry female sports fans with more if you accept and hope the most and you see that can happen we feel dumb commercials based of course and logic prize money because corporations are not safe says they're not homophobic they just one person called the c.e.o.
