high security prison here in the united kingdom where the wiki leaks founder is currently serving his 50 week sentence for skipping bougherra at the end of may we know that he was transferred to the true. and indeed here in the united kingdom the courts did decide to postpone a hearing at the westminster magistrates 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 combined in the ecuadorian embassy before for. medical treatment without most of the article 3 with the let's recap exactly where we are now of course the case was reopened after the wiki leaks co-founder was holed 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 journalists they believe that judas songe is a valiant campaigner for truth in fact they believe he should be applauded and not pass acute it for simply telling the truth. the video comes shortly after the un special rapporteur on torture claimed

a song should been exposed to psychological torture during his years in the ecuadorian embassy and is now suffering its consequences we spoke to mills meltzer about the way assad has been treated so what kind of way to the future you can watch the full interview which premiers in full on tonight on r t america and the same time goes live on r.t. dr. what we have seen now during my visit was already alarming and what we have seen since then is the state of health has dramatically deteriorated as predicted by a psychiatrist accompany my visit today mr assange is 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 very difficult for him to get a unbiased impartial court hearing the fair trial also requires all the gallery that he's actually being charged for something that is punishable now
7:05 am
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. 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 journalist so it's just received disinformation it's a bit like charging someone for trying to exceed the speed limit but not succeeding 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 new york times has been forced to apologize for mr reporting on the script poisoning in the u.k. back in march last year the cia director gina hospital showed president images of dead dogs and children allegedly from the scene of the attack and though british authorities quickly confirm the photos were not related to the incident the new york times took 2 months to issue a correction at morpeth brings us the story. era member 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 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 over my apology i strive to get information right the 1st time that is was subscribers pay for but when i give something bone fix it so this is how they fixed it an earlier version
7:07 am
of this article in correctly described the photos the jena house bills 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 of the british government had supplied her of young children hospitalized after being sickened by the nova choked nerve agent that poisoned the script holes 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
7:08 am
after all you came media was reporting that 3 children had gone to the hospital after receiving bread from the screen falls 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 exposed to or became ill as a result of the incident so. it 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 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.
7:09 am
new york here's how 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 noting for normal relations between russia and the us to be restored. international monetary fund the i.m.f. has admitted it made mistakes in argentina managing director christine lagarde claims they underestimated the complicated economic situation in the south american country the i.m.f. is an organization of $189.00 countries aimed at promoting international monetary co-operation and facilitating international trade but the success of the measures taken to improve the economy of many states lately not only argentina remains questionable as our senior correspondent but i guess he explains. you've got to understand we're just people and people make mistakes you meet we might oversleep 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
7:10 am
lie it was an incredibly complicated economic situation that many actors including us underestimated tippett when we started trying to help them put together together with the origin time i thought it is 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 that come to the 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 hoop listeners 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
7:11 am
generations. this strike and to reject it tears hard for public services transportation and above all to confront the just man policy of mary symmetry of the governess and the service of the program for international monetary fund. and i'm going to make it easy for motorists and my career old 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 then the crisis got a teeny bit worse q nationwide riots the government collapsing and debt being defaulted on.
7:12 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 but perhaps not quite as bad if the fund has supported a change in strategy earlier it isn't that mistakes are only made with argentina the i.m.f. makes mistakes with everybody greece for example the economy wasn't restored jobs weren't created and. quote notable failure as the bull made made everything worse and like argentina the greeks were also choked with masochistic levels of a stereotype 7. in south korea i.m.f. loans and fine print conditions ended up only increasing unemployment you know people say that you should try everything once well i really don't belong in that
7:13 am
category of. bolivia they did everything the i.m.f. told them to privatized water utilities added 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. we used to buy before but now we're country with dignity oh you can only pose it had to be decided by the i.m.f. before but now we can make our own plan we had to ask the u.s. ambassador to go polish this but no the poetics in our country is more democratic. see there's confusion misunderstanding about the point of on meth loans few things
7:14 am
if any actually improve mistakes made liberally the i.m.f. are just people as i mentioned no 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 surely 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.
7:15 am
and its allies that control the i.m.f. and i believe the u.s. . was behind a lot of this. changing of the guard here with the right right wing and ministrations in argentina the nerve brazil ecuador and places like that so it's part of u.s. policy political policy was seen the consequences of that but it's also part of the u.s. dollar policy interest rate policy and now the global economy. and there for us a trade problem. one of the organizers of the biggest tournament since tennis have inadvertently brave night's debate of a sexism in sport female tennis players at the french open up and forced to play a venue significantly smaller than for the men's games after the break we'll examine inequality in sport.

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 i'll comment on 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 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
