i. glimpse into wiki leaks founder julian assange and his life in a high security prison in london video agency regulators obtained exclusive for. international monetary fund admit mistakes were made when trying to resuscitate argentina's economy. as it failed to tackle the underlying issues in the last american country goes deep into the decades of errors made by the. reporting of the case in the u.k.

for almost 2 months the paper failed to correct the disturbing pictures shown to president trump supposedly capturing the aftermath of the attack. welcome to news from the international 1st off for you that video agency ruptly has obtained exclusive footage of whistleblower julian assange in london's belmarsh prison the video shows the wiki leaks founder chatting with fellow inmates in the high security facility where he's serving a 15 week sentence for skipping bail it's the 1st time images of the songs appeared since his arrest and removal from the ecuadorian embassy in london almost 2 months ago concerns have been mounting over his health in recent weeks after he failed to appear before a court at the end of may via video link for a hearing on possible extradition to the united states the un special rapporteur on torture has also condemned his treatment saying the publisher has been abused and

persecuted. has been talking to r.t. america the full interview airs later this saturday. 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 theory aerated as predicted by the psychiatrist the comping my visit what would can happen obviously in a problem of this is that it will have a reversible damage 1st on the on the psychological emotional level but then also on the physical level it can lead to nervous breakdowns or even actually then to cardiovascular. damage that is no longer reversible julian assange is now awaiting his next extradition hearing which is shadowed for next wednesday he's wanted by washington on charges of soliciting and publishing classified u.s. government information if extradited and found guilty he could face a prison sentence of up to 175 years says he doubts the songs will be granted due

process in the u.s. . 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 for 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 our stance in the us after almost a decade of under restraints i would say public more being you know intimidation calls for his assassination and including by serving officials and former officials it's very difficult for him to get a unbiased impartial court hearing the fair trial also requires a gallery that is 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 would be protected under i believe it's the 1st amendment of the us constitution under the freedom of press and freedom of expression. the new york times has acknowledged that miss reported on the script poisoning story last year involving a former russian spy and his daughter in england 2 months ago the newspaper wrote that cia director gina has president images of dead ducks and ill children allegedly from the scene of the attack but the british authorities denied the fallout it affected the animals and children of morbid looks of why it took the new york times so long to issue a correction. here 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 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 strived 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 of 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 previous he stated 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 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 well 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 said a real correction would be a return to normal relations between russia and the united states. the international monetary fund the i.m.f. has admitted it made mistakes in argentina managing director christine lagarde claims they underestimated the country's complicated economic situation i.m.f. an organization with $199.00 member countries aimed at promoting cooperation and facilitating international trade but its track record of revitalizing national economies not only argentina doesn't have many success stories as our senior correspondent what i'm going to have explained. 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 lie it was an incredibly complicated economic situation that many actors including us underestimated a bit when we started trying to help them put together together with the engine time authorities it 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 be of begging for help they're like addicts take argentina. of the population lives below the poverty line g.d.p. in 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 dollars in loans with strings attached austerity to the

bone budget cuts tax and terrified the usual stuff that makes miserable generations. this strike and to reject the tears hike 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 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 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. 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 argentina 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 of. bolivia they did everything the i.m.f. told them to privatized water utilities and a g. transport industry who need to everything to start going bankrupt and collapsing left and right and only when they choose 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 economic 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 about help who had to go polis this but now the poetics in our country

is more democratic. you 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 as 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 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. 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 the 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 the trade policy. a petition has been launched to free a russian journalist arrested on drug charges in moscow we'll have the latest on the case off.

seen this before in the eighty's with the rise of japan and the us had a response they rejiggered the global currency markets that the plaza accord this was reagan and robert rubin the same people that gave us the 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 come up with some other strategy and after 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 old and government just as ready to put a hungry 1st. i

welcome back to weekend update from developments this saturday then yellow vest protest as a gathering for a 30th consecutive weekend about the government protests in paris with demonstrations being held across france this saturday this is what's happening right now in one part of paris. already hundreds of protesters are out marching it's a peaceful protest so far but it has been significantly down in recent weeks after going in fact is that if you listen to the movement started in november last year as a french interior ministry said around $1530.00 paris on the 1st protest were triggered by a rising fuel tax bill since turned into

a nationwide anti-government demonstration we'll keep watching what's happening in paris and beyond if anything significant happens. we'll be right back to the yellow vests protest for the 30th weekend in a row. will choose a new president tomorrow and it's the 1st time the central asian country will choose a new leader since the breakup of the soviet union and as it goes 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 by at the same time he has always maintained a policy independent from more school and never recognized south a set or a cause and there was silence on crimea so look still looms 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 doubt 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 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. has interests here too currently kazakstan as 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 favorites because sims are marked the 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

go to thanks for that. one of the biggest tennis tournament of the french open has been caught up in a sexism storm that's been gripping sport in general organizers said for costs of bad weather meant they played both women semifinal civil taney asli and away from center court women's tennis association blasted the move saying they deserved to play only priests to descend to courts like the men. looks at the wedge being driven but. 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 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 mail's tournament receives view is of the women's world cup football still fall far short of the sweet
