a hearing on possible extradition to the united states the un special rapporteur on torture is also condemned to saunders treatment saying the publisher has been abused and persecuted those meltzer's 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 his state of health has dramatically the theory aerated 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 scheduled 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 restraint 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 scripps howard poisoning story last year involving a former russian spy and his daughter in england 2 months ago the newspaper broke that cia director gina haskell had shown president trump images of dead ducks and children allegedly from the scene of the attack but the british authorities deny the fallout affected the animals or the children and looks at 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 screwball 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 get something bona fix it so this is how they fixed it and earlier version of this article in correctly describe the photos that you know 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 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 exposed to 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. artsy 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 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 undergoing director christine lagarde claims they underestimated the country's complicated economic situation the i.m.f. is an organization with $189.00 member countries aim to 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 now 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 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 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 that come to the of begging for help they're like addicts take argentina. 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 50 $1000000000.00 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 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 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 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. 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 and the i.m.f. makes mistakes with everybody greece for example the economy wasn't restored jobs were created and the quote notable failure is the bull made made everything worse. us 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. the. 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 anger of suffering for nothing. mistakes. we used to buy before but now would country with dignity. to be decided by the earth 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 u.s. . was behind a lot of this. changing of the guard here and with the right right wing in ministrations in argentina and brazil ecuador in 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 therefore us a trade policy. you're watching on c.n.n. international petitions painted on to free a russian journalist arrested on drug charges in moscow we'll have the latest on

all stories after the break. seen this before in the eighty's with the rise of japan and the us had a response rejiggered the global currency markets at the plaza accord this is. the same people that gave us the plans protection team after crash in 1000. 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 in a moment appear on the. long positioned itself as a sovereign player within the e.u. it can stand up to brussels and put its foot down when it comes to its own national interests but when it comes to dealing with the trumpet ministration is the

government just as ready to put hungary 1st. welcome back yellow vests protesters are conducting a 30th consecutive weekend of anti-government protests in paris with demonstrations being held across france this saturday police have used tear gas to disperse crowds where hundreds are out marching last weekend was at its lowest since the movement started in november last year french interior ministry said around $5800.00 marched through paris on june the 1st the protests were triggered by rising fuel tax initially and since turned into a nationwide anti-government demonstration we're going to keep an eye on what's happening in paris and beyond and update you when you get new information.

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 as he called the dawn 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 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 with 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 favorites kissinger 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 a 1st since u.s.s.r. i'm done of reporting from mosul town in kazakhstan r.t.

. russian investigative journalist for the online news website but there's a has been charged in moscow with drug possession and intent to supply but i haven't got on of cases taken to twitter and a petition is being launched for him. quarter is across developments hi there what we know so far. well collin according to police arrested medusa correspondent eve on go north is now in the hospital after complaining that he wasn't feeling well reports say doctors examined him earlier this morning and suspected he had a rib fracture as well as a possible concussion and this is this examination came after golan also claimed he was beaten and denied a lawyer in custody which the police reject in both cases but his detention began on thursday after officers said they found drugs in his possession as well as scales and more drugs in his apartment in moscow just this morning he was charged with attempting to sell those drugs but the online newspaper works for is convinced of his innocence they were posted his lawyer statement suggesting that the drugs

were planted on him and also talked about previous threats he he received with regard to his journalistic work however the police claim that this was not an isolated incident it was connected to a larger investigation into a drug ring in moscow nevertheless an open petition is now circulating across the internet calling for golan all of the release over 3500 people have signed including high profile journalists and russian media so we don't know his court date yet but the president's personal advisor said he'll personally look into this case and it's definitely a case that the world will be watching. so it is a very emotive elements will be right but with the if another double quarter thank you. and one of the some of the biggest tennis tournament of the french open is being caught up in a sexism storm that's been gripping sports in general well and got also organizers said for cost of bad weather meant they played both women semifinals symbol taney italy and away from centocor the women's tennis association blasted the move saying

they deserved to play on the prestigious sent to coach like the men to slay it looks at the wedge being driven between gender sport and sponsorship. the semifinal matches in the women's open in tennis has been held away from same to court and at the same time now the organizers to. 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 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 better top by facts white now here in france is the biggest women's sport ornament the female fifa world cup finds money is with some $4000000.00 twice what it was back in 2015 but nearly 10 times less than what the winner of the males tournament proceeds to do is of the women's world cup football still fall far short of the sweet 1000000 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 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 me to watch a boxing match between women than a rugby match i don't want to do that so. you can make people like something they don't still big corporations no. they can turn a nice cup of tea to new audiences they might not necessarily. be day 5 of l.t.v. tea community but they know that they can turn and i think that by appealing to this story even come off with a rainbow themed bottle of mouthwash and bad vibes is being widely ridiculed for if one looks at the range of cups featuring 9 flags each with the same team 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 a sexual sometimes feel sexual attraction and demo sexual sit with you it if they

know someone well white nordstrom's a sexual alwis 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 feel of dumb commercials they support and not prize money because overweight i'm not safe says they're not homophobic they just one. policy of not seeing how it. there's a different sexes around in japan where the labor ministers said it's socially acceptable for women to be asked to wear high heels in the workplace on professional grounds it's after a petition against gender based discrimination was filed raising the good old debate to wear or not to wear. it for.

those who don't feel this complete will change the social norm so it's not seen as bad men who seem to. one woman's lamplight she was like man. there it is just because we don't have any clear pools to a heeled shoes that injury. to his social it's up to the something that falls within the realm of the occupation when necessary and to probe for it. from all to moscow from now your next update from me in that same followed your saturday cards are report.

so you say that brings us to the end of the series if we could just let josie marino walk away so we decided to treat a stone host to a very special farewell party and because. we walk along an interesting path of them but this time to go back to the punchline and thanks for putting on sister it bought it. we were. the only thing that i didn't enjoy was my dancing on ice in moscow my dancing. on ice cream.

made it. well thankfully we nailed it literally there we go. in october 27th team the german newspaper developed published an article claiming. the european union have lost 30000000000 euros as a result of its very anti russian sanctions. that particularly affected eastern europe many polish vamos went broke and he committed suicide. going to his own camp to come to the us i was of on the good. will put on the ground on the. on these if. you have to find out by the almost i'm going against the dolls and on

to other kind of unknown. doesn't then let's see in the. song the smiths. and does dance with all the folks in the. 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 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 cow 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 gold by creating their own futures markets by prepping for this in a very quiet way this is an interesting historical moment the rise of china is here in our own. now we have a standoff so it's going to be interesting to see how the u.s. response and how the u.s. population responds if they're staring at the moon or staring at the finger or giving the moon the finger you know that's interesting to see how the u.s. response you know the u.s. is a plucky group of rugged individualists that have come through tough times before and will see what resources can be pulled one of us through it well we have pulled through other stuff in the past and crazy periods in civil war isn't and the salem witch trials and we you know the mccarthy era.
