persecuted meltzer has been talking to r.t. america the full interview as here later this saturday. what we've seen now during my visit was already alarming and what we have seen since then that that his state of health has dramatically deteriorated as predicted by the psychiatrist the comping my visit what would can happen obviously in a problem of this is that will have to 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 in a song he is now awaiting his next extradition hearing which you scheduled for next wednesday he is 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 will be granted due process in
11:03 am
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 the gallery that he's actually being charged for something that is punishable now if you look at the 17 of the charges are under
11:04 am
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 it misreported on the screen poisoning story last year involving a former russian spy and his daughter in england 2 months ago the newspaper broke that cia director gina has shown president trump images of dead ducks and ill children allegedly from the scene of the attack but the british authorities denied the fallout affected either the animals or the children and look for 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 this creep or poisoning by showing him photographs of dead ducks and sick children except those are for it's turned out to be fake news the author has apologized i regret the error and offer my
11:05 am
apology i strived to get. formation 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 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 ms 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 scrip ols she then showed a photograph of ducks that british officials said were inadvertently killed by the
11:06 am
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 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 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
11:07 am
conversation whereas the new. action 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 it corrected the criticize story 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 the i.m.f. is an organization with $189.00 member countries aimed at promoting cooperation in facilitating international trade but its track record of revitalizing national economies not only argentina doesn't have many success stories as our senior correspondent but i guess the if now explains. you've got to understand we're just
11:08 am
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 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 are the absolute last resort of any country and those 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. 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.
11:09 am
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 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 most recent mockery of 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 debts being
11:10 am
defaulted on. and the i.m.f. a good people they had no problem admitting that everyone alex 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 of a stereotype. in south korea i.m.f.
11:11 am
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 category. believe you 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 all of the i.m.f. said vice the group coverage begin years of suffering for nothing. mistakes. we used to bow before but now would country with dignity konami pose it had to be decided by the before but now we can make our own plan we had to ask the u.s. ambassador who had to go poses but now the politics in our country is more
11:12 am
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 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.
11:13 am
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 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 quasi was seen the consequences of that one is also part of the u.s. dollar policy interest rate policy and now the global economy and therefore us of the trade policy. get a vest protesters are conducting their 30th consecutive weekend of anti-government protests in paris with demonstrations being held across france they saturday police

extern and in its capital no soul done because the country prepares to enter a new chapter but why should you care while apparently there's plenty of reasons why. 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 moving the eurasian economic union forward there was a personal friendship there too between vladimir putin and the former kazakstan leader not assault on as a buyer 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
11:19 am
more schools which have been key to establishing dialogue between the assad government and the opposition so a lot rests on kazakstan when it comes to international diplomacy too. and was there doubt there's opportunity and that's the way nato and the us 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. has interests here too currently kazakstan as largest trade partner but a change in. powell could see change in direction east to another pretty big neighbor. i'm talking about china of course and beijing
11:20 am
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 flaw in 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. . and labor minister has said it's socially acceptable for women to be told to wear high heels in the workplace on professional grounds and so after a petition against gender based discrimination was filed raising the good old debate to wear or not to wear.
