i. insight into wiki leaks co-founder julian assange and his life in a high security prison in london we have exclusive images from our video agency. says mistakes were made to improve argentina's economy. the problems of a country goes deep into the decades of errors made by the i.m.f. . and the new york times backtracked on its reporting of the case in the u.k.

for months the paper failed to correct an article about disturbing pictures of president trump allegedly from the city. thanks. for masie international in moscow welcome to the program. takes a glimpse into julian assange and his life behind bars video agency has exclusive video of the wiki leaks co-founder inside london's belmarsh prison the camera catches the whistleblower chatting with his fellow inmates in the high security jail where he's currently serving a 15 week sentence for skipping bail this is the 1st $0.40 a song to the rest of removal from the ecuadorian embassy in london nearly 2 months ago. founder is now waiting for an extradition hearing on the 12th he's wanted by washington on charges of soliciting and. publishing classified u.s.

government information. gave us an update on the songes current situation. it was allegedly shot by an inmate 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 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 the maximum security prison it's difficult for anyone for julian 4 spent 7 years combined in the ecuadorian embassy for all the. medical treatment without most of the article 3 let's recap exactly where we are now of course the case was reopened after the wiki leaks 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 or so 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 7 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 including campaigners activists and indeed janice they believe that judas songe is a valiant campaign of for truth in fact they believe you should be applauded and not pass a queue to for simp. the video come shortly after the un special rapporteur on

torture claimed science had been exposed to psychological torture during his years in the ecuadorian embassy and is now suffering its consequences we spoke to knows meltzer about the way a soldier is being treated and what could a way to him in the future you can watch the interview unfold premiering on air tonight on r.t. america and at the same time going online at r.t. dot com. 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 a psychiatrist accompany my visit today mr sanchez 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 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. it's

a nuisance at all it certainly doesn't justify the type of suffering he has been going through and that he would likely think when when extradited to the u.s. . the new york times has been forced to apologize for misreporting on the script all poisoning in the u.k. back in march last year it wrote that the cia director possible showed president trump images of dead ducks and ill children allegedly from the scene of the attack though british authorities quickly confirm the photos were not related to the incident then you go times took 2 months to issue a correction is kind of open. you're a 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 this creep all 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 offer my apology i strived to get information right the 1st time that is was subscribers pay for but

when i give something bone i fix it so this is how they fixed it and earlier version of this article in correctly described the photos that you know 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 hasp all 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 choke 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 palls 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 became ill as a result of the incident so what exactly did the cia director show to 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. new york here's how the russian embassy in washington responded to the new york times correction in chris's size the length of time it took for the mistake to be addressed and called for an end to this information while normal relations between russia and the united states to be restored. the 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 in many states lately not only argentina remains questionable as our senior correspondent i guess the explains. you've got to understand we're just people and people make mistakes you meet we might oversleep be lead to work likewise the i.m.f.

just people but when these schools up there is tens of billions of dollars on the lie it was an incredibly complicated economic situation that many actors including ours underestimated a bit when we started trying to help them put together together with the urgent time authorities it program to deal with the most critical sectors of the economy put yourself in the i.m.f. shoes you are the absolute last resort of any country and those that come to be 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 generations. this child aims 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. the international monetary fund knows that i'm going to make it easy for motorists in my career old the next government because they still want to have a relationship with that i'm 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. 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. a 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 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 sterett see. 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. believe they did everything the i.m.f. told them to privatized water utilities added g. true. sport industry only 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 in our mistakes. we used to buy before but now would country with dignity konami 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 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 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. 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 and with the right right wing of the ministrations in argentina and the nerve brazil ecuador in places like that so it's part of u.s. policy political policy was seen 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 a trade policy. here without say from moscow organizers of one of the biggest torments in tennis have inadvertently reignited a rabbit sexism in sport female tennis players of the french open have been forced to play in venues significantly smaller than for the men's games and after the break we'll examine 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 that the plaza accord this is reagan and robert rubin the same people like a master plan for tension team after the crash in $1000.00 any sense so china seemed 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. 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 orb and government just as ready to put

a hungry 1st. welcome back it's a weekend update from art see this is what's happening right now in paris you know vesta protesters are gathering for a 30th consecutive weekend of anti-government protests it's one of the number of demonstrations being held across france again this saturday it's been peaceful so far in the french capital lively but definitely peaceful turnout has been decreasing in recent weeks last weekend in fact it was at its lowest since the movement started in november last year the french interior ministry said around $1500.00 marched through paris on june the 1st the protests were triggered by

rising fuel tax which since turned into a nationwide anti-government demonstration will keep watch on what's happening in paris and be on the capital in france throughout the day and will people to. choose 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 there's egos down of explains there's a lot at stake for the strategically important nation 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 cannes extern and in its capital no soul 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 kazakstan 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 more school and never recognized south a set up and there was silence on crimea so 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 to. and where's their 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 corp despite the nation being

a nonmember 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. has interests here too currently kazakstan as largest trade partner but a change in power could see 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. he is a flowing chinese speaker 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. i'm done of reporting from mosul town in kazakhstan r.t. . of the some of the biggest tennis tournaments the french open has been a broiled in a sexism scandal but whether forced organizers to change venue for some matches leaving the women semifinals inside court that infuriated the women's tennis association which said they deserved to play in the prestigious center court like the men 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 deflated 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 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 best topped 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 sweet 1000000 of

us that the menstruation pulls 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. 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 the french team and 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. you can't make people like something they don't still big corporations know they can turn a nice profit by the new audience say they might not necessarily support a 5 l.t.v. community but they know that they can turn an i pad by appealing to this to even come off with a rainbow themed bottle of mouthwash and bad vices even widely ridiculed for if one

and they didn't. give me. there was a kind of feel that hoop this campaign will change the social noon so it's not seen as a bad man in the same room that when women lamplight shoes like men. they are disused because we have to weigh heeled shoes that.

it is socially accepted as something that falls within the realm of the occupation when necessary and to probe for it. and that's the way i look for now whatever you're up to this weekend. that's it for us for now your next update from the aussie is in 34 minutes and then. there's an petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing the keys economic issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend a forum to address today's vital issues. watch our special forum coverage on r.t. . join
