u.s. government information. edwards daschle as an update on the science his situation. as you can see cheering the scientific somewhat and nancy 8 here in this exclusive r.t. right place the 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. the 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 world 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 for
5:03 am
julian 4 spent 7 years combined in there to remember stephen colbert. medical treatment for the most part of the 3 lives but let's recap exactly where we are out 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 all 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
5:04 am
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. the video comes shortly after the u.n. special report on torture mills melts played the sound you've been exposed to psychological torture during his years in that ecuadorian embassy there's no suffering its consequences we spoke to mr meltzer about the way a son has been treated and what could a way to know in the future imminently if you can watch the full interview premiering on air tonight on r.t. america at the same time it's going to go live online as well allowed see that com . what we have seen now during my visit was already alarming and what we have seen since then has is the state of health has dramatically the area rated as predicted by 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
5:05 am
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 very difficult for him to get a unbiased and partial court hearing the fair trial also requires all 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 then the 18th charge the so-called hacking charge doesn't relate to here 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 it's just received disinformation it's a bit like charging someone for trying to exceed the speed limit but not succeeding
5:06 am
because the car is too weak i don't think that makes sense from a prosecutorial standpoint even if theoretically you could construct 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 u.s. . the york times has been forced to apologize for misreporting on the script for poisoning in the u.k. back in march last year it wrote that the cia director gina has polls showed president trump images of dead ducks in alle children allegedly from the scene of the attack but though british authorities critique of the photos were not related to the incidents the new york times took 2 months to issue a correction caleb maupin has more in 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 script all poisoning by showing
5:07 am
him photographs of dead ducks and sick children except those reports turned out to be fake news the author has apologized i regret the error and know from 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 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
5:08 am
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 previous he stated that no wildlife were impacted by the incident and no children were exposed to or became ill as a result of the incident so. exactly did 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
5:09 am
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. r.t. new york. the russian embassy in washington responded to the new york times correction it criticized the length of time it took for mistake to be addressed and called for an end to disinform ation while urging for normal relations between russia and the u.s. to be restored. to. its national monetary fund the methods admitted it made mistakes in argentina managing director christine lagarde claims they underestimated the complicated economic situation in that south american country the i.m.f. is an organization of $189.00 countries aimed at promoting international monetary corporation facilitating international trade but the success of the measures taken to improve the economy in many countries lately not only argentina remains
5:10 am
questionable as senior correspondent 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 lives 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 i.m.f. shoes you were the absolute last resort of any country and there was 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. in freefall down 6 percent last year joblessness hopelessness in the shadow
5:11 am
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 generations. this cheick 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. i'm going to make it easy for motorists are my career all the next go 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 in the i.m.f.
5:12 am
or just people when the crisis got a teeny bit worse. q nationwide riots the government collapsing and debt being defaulted on. 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
5:13 am
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. 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 anger of suffering for nothing. mistakes. were used to buy before but now would come true with dignity
5:14 am
because it had to be decided by the before but now we can make our own plan we have . ask the us ambassador about who had to go poses but now the politics in our 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. are just people i mentioned 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. and that 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 it the mistake
5:15 am
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. 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 in places like that so it's part of u.s. policy political policy we're seeing 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 policy. makes a 15 or
5:16 am
a moscow and kevin i mean this is our international still to come after the break we're just but having to organize a one of the biggest tournament in tennis have been if. they have a say well female tennis players at the french open have been forced to play at venues significantly smaller part in the men's games was a real fuss but i think about a story we examine after the break the inequality in sport. seen this before in the eighty's with the rise of japan and the us how to respond rejiggered the global currency markets at the plaza accord this is. the same people like a mr plunge protection 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 and
5:17 am
5:18 am
a new president tomorrow it's the 1st time the central asian country will choose a new leader since the breakup of the soviet union and he goes double for explains next there is a lot at stake for the strategically important country and its neighbors. it hasn't happened since the fall of the soviet union it's a phrase you don't hear very often these days but it's mega relevant here in kazakhstan and it's capital done because the country prepares to enter a new chapter. russia will be passing a careful are you over this one most who has been on a quest of uniting the post soviet bloc economically and kazakhstan is an integral part of this strategy especially in new zealand the eurasian economic union forward there was a personal friendship there too between vladimir putin and the former kazakstan leader not assault on those that are biased at the same time he has always maintained a policy independent from most school and never recognized south
5:19 am
a set or a cause and there was silence on crimea so it looks to lose and plenty to gain because a capital has also played host to 11 rounds of the syria peace talks spearheaded by more schools which have been key to establishing dialogue between the assad government and the opposition so a lot rests on kazakhstan when it comes to international diplomacy too. and was there doubts there's opportunity and that's the way nato and the u.s. will likely be viewing kazakstan right now there have been moves to integrate the country into closer realms of corporation despite the nation being a non member of the military alliance russia has never shied away from letting nato know its feelings about expansion encroaching on its borders and kazakstan could yet be the camel with a few too many bales of straw the e.u.
5:20 am
has interests here too currently kazik stands largest trade partner but a change in power could see a change in direction east to another pretty big neighbor. i'm talking about china of course and beijing could be in for a treat here kazakstan has been pushing to increase its weight in asia seeking an alliance with china the race itself has a clear favorite sims are not the guy if he is a flowing chinese speak up. so it is likely that kazakstan will move to tighten its corporation with beijing but until monday it's all just speculation and when these 1st results 1st decisive results come in it really will be a 1st since u.s.s.r. amigas done of reporting from national time in kazakhstan r.t. . one of the summer's biggest tennis tournaments the french open but in boulder the sexism scandal bad weather forced organizers to change venue for some much is
5:21 am
leaving the female semifinals inside cause the women's tennis association blasted the move saying they deserved to play in the prestigious center court just like the men fall asleep or looks at the driving forces in sport and 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 now the organizers to frame a position they say that this allows for the maximum number of spectators to watch these equally prestigious games that 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 use the accusations of sexist tendencies in school a comment on the most glaring lack of equal pay some say there's
5:22 am
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 best topped by facts like 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
5:23 am
to take a long time if not for ever for attitudes to change the women's foot of no well no i don't like women's football just doesn't fascinate me it's not how i want to see women but i will support the french team and hope they win against south korea and what's next you going to ask. watch a boxing match between women in a rugby match i don't want to think that's all. you can make people like something they don't still big corporations know they can turn a nice profit by the need to new audiences they might not necessarily court day 5 of l.t.v. community but they know that they can turn an i pod by appealing to this to even come off with a rainbow themed bottle of mouthwash and bad vices why do they get killed for it and then the typical range of hops featuring 9 flags you triples into in a different section of the l.t.p. teaching community. blake is for a sexual so don't feel sexual attraction to anyone grace for great
5:24 am
a sexual sometimes feel sexual attraction and demist sexual says 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 viewership and hope the most and you too can have the fear of dumb commercials they support and not prize money because corporations are not sexist they're not homophobic they just one. policy of not seeing how it. as u.s. trade sanctions begin to bite him china defying patriotic songs are being belted out across the country the man who penned the online hit trade war dave says war that kind of music to come to. oh.
5:25 am
the u.s. proposed a lot of outrage as the tough requirements in the trade deals we can't meet their requirements as the cultural worker from a basic background i need to be heard so i hired someone to make a song based on my lyrics and i planed with my own money. back on the one hand i'm doing research local culture i'm trying to promote it on the other hand i will keep working on creating my truly poems novels and songs with positive energy.
5:26 am
and i don't know i'll say goodbye for now just often i was taught i'm kevin owen here with the rest of the on duty in the south laid out to have a great weekend. so . that brings us to the end of the series if we could just let josie marino walk away and say we decided to treat up stuff post to a very special farewell party and by god.
5:27 am
we walk along an interesting path as a team but this time to go back to the punchline and thanks for putting on such a great body. with a red carpet the only thing that i didn't enjoy was my. eyes in moscow my dancing. on ice cream. made it. well thankfully we nailed it literally a week out. of the project was good if you give up on your birthday. you miss it or don't blame
5:28 am
people but. the response so most people. is i assure you i'm older to be that. this new the no plus you you presume this loop. you must feel to move him he's doing the most honest i mean yeah he may continue going to jane boning inning of their history of philly. because. just. because you're going to tell you what war you're more you would almost. some lift on the bridge and you'll meet someone who is the. star of the most. and also way as.
5:29 am
guys are this is the kaiser report the show you stay up all night to watch and can't believe you're so for some of us to see such great t.v. programming stacey you know i want to follow up on that theme of the weaponization of trade because this is part of what i think is the imperial rot it's not unusual as we've mentioned before it goes on throughout history as an empire falls apart thanks a lot to do with hubris and we see that with you know the chlorinated chicken trade we see that with our healthcare system here we see that with the dilapidation of our big cities like san francisco and los angeles we see that with the boeing and there are nonstop catastrophes unfolding that's all part of hubris and bullying and
5:30 am
just we're no longer associated much with quality and a lot of it has to do with hubris right as i said it's it's that we have so much power and we've weaponized trade and we've weaponized the dollar and here is the headline china is playing the long game says charles gave there's an old saying a wise man points to the moon and the idiot looks at the finger says charles gave founding partner in chairman of gave kal research tariffs soybeans and rare earth metals steel the headlines when it comes to u.s. china trade tensions but these are just tools or weapons of warfare and a much larger battle over money and sovereignty and china is playing a long game he said in particular he he points out the u.s. dollar has been weaponized and china is really playing the long game by accumulating.
