3:01 pm
. and the new york times. reporting on poisoning case in the u.k. for almost 2 months the paper failed to correct an article about the pictures shown to the president from supposedly. the time. just going one minute past 10 pm here in moscow this summer nights a warm welcome to our to international linings you can only our top story. 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 a meal it's the 1st time images of appeared since his arrest and removal from the
3:02 pm
ecuadorian embassy in london almost 2 months ago concerns have been mounting over his health in recent weeks after he failed to appear before court at the end of may via video link for a hearing on possible extradition to the us the unite united nations excuse me special rubber tour on torture has condemned the sun just treatment over the years saying the publisher has been abused persecuted melzer has been talk. r.t. america the full interview later this saturday on r.t. america or can be found online. 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 company my visit what would can happen obviously in a problem of this is will have a reversible damage 1st on the psychological emotional level but then also on the
3:03 pm
physical level it can lead to nervous breakdowns or even actually then to cardiovascular. damage that is no longer reversible so julian assange is no waiting his next extradition hearing which is scheduled for whedon he's wanted by washington on charges of soliciting and publishing classified u.s. government information if extradited to find guilty he could face a prison sentence of up to 175 years. again. 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 your 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
3:04 pm
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 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. so another headline story the new york times has acknowledged to misreported on the script poisoning story last year involving a former russian spy and his daughter in england 2 months ago the newspaper wrote
3:05 pm
that cia director gina hospital had shown president images of dead ducks and ill children allegedly from the scene of the attack but the british authorities denied the fall out how effective the animals or children. looks at why it took the new york times so long to issue a correction. you're 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 and earlier version of this article in correctly described the photos the jena house bill showed to president trump during
3:06 pm
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
3:07 pm
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 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 kaleb mop and 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
3:08 pm
be addressed and said a real correction would be a return to normal relations between russia and the us. moving on the international monetary fund has admitted it made mistakes in argentina managing director christine lagarde claims they quote underestimated the country's complicated economic situation after taking full control of weakness ari's fiscal policies forcing the public to bear the brunt of so if you're austerity the i.m.f. is an organization with $189.00 member countries aimed at promoting cooperation facilitating international trade but it's truck record of revitalizing national economies not only argentina doesn't have a lot of success stories as our senior correspondent explains. you've got to understand we're just people and people make mistakes you meet we might oversleep and be late to work likewise the i.m.f.
3:09 pm
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 engine time 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 free fall 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
3:10 pm
bone budget cuts tax and terrified the usual stuff that makes miserable generations. this strike to reject it tears hard for public services transportation and above all to confront the just me policy of every symmetry of the governess and the service of the program for international monetary fund that i'm going to make it easy for motorists or mockery of the next government because these do want to have a relationship with 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.
3:11 pm
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 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. loans and fine print conditions ended up only increasing unemployment you know people say that you should try everything once well i.m.f.
3:12 pm
loans really don't belong in that category with. the bolivian 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 beg 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 who had to go polish this but now the poetics in our country is more democratic. see there's confusion misunderstanding about the point of i.m.f.
3:13 pm
loans few things if any actually improve mistakes are made liberally the i.m.f. are just people as i mentioned you know 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.
3:14 pm
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 good is also part of the u.s. dollar policy interest rate policy and now the global economy. and there for us to try promised. let's bring you to france where yellow vests protesters are conducting their 30 consecutive weekend of antigovernment protests in tahrir square demonstrations happening right across the country this day police have been using tear gas to disperse the crowds where hundreds arrive in march last weekend turnout
3:15 pm
was at its lowest since the movement began in the last year the french interior ministry said around 1500 to march through chorus and in the 1st the protests were triggered by a rise in fuel tanks since during a nationwide county government demonstration it became close eye on a fence there like today. i. exit go has agreed to take what it's called on precedented measures to stem the flow of migrants heading to the united states in exchange washington will scrap the tardes it was planning to impose on imports of mexican goods president trump took to twitter and friday nights to lord the agreement. mexico will try very hard and if they do that this will be a very successful agreement for both the united states and mexico terry scheduled to be implemented by the u.s. on monday against mexico are hereby indefinitely suspended mexico in turn has
3:16 pm
agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of migration through mexico and to our southern border. big figures were being spoken about the u.s. 1st threatened to impose a 5 percent to import tax and all mexican goods last week about with you to come into effect on monday mr trump had warned that the rate would then increase month by month until it reached 25 percent. well the prospect of sweeping tariffs led almost immediately to the mexican authorities adopting tougher border controls on thursday alone thousands of migrants from central america were stopped just a few miles into mexican territory despite the sudden policy shift mexico's president and the press manuel lopez obrador had previously struck a very different tone including on the campaign trail i'm going north. because. the united states government would want us to do the dirty work by blocking
3:17 pm
migrants from central america who are to live in most want to have a relationship a read to rate of friendship with the people and with the government of the united states this is our position the u.s. authorities president trump the ball behaved very well because they have not closed dialogue yet it doesn't end there in addition to agreeing to restrict migration northwards donald trump says mexico has also agreed to buy more american i grew cultural products and the deal will likely be seen as an attempt by the president to galvanize his support base and fulfill campaign promises. do you feel. that should gays get paid to get. experts all in government some policy told me earlier the threat of import tax hikes was a piece of political fear for the white house. this is electoral times i mean from here to the election when you have less and when you don't have we're going to have
3:18 pm
this type of spectacles i would say. it was not credible that the president of the united states would impose tariffs on mexico it was very important that mexico in the end was pressured to negotiate a deal with the united states that was there in several. threat that was not credible mexico already already fall into the same truck and they are going to continue following she's going to be using that continuously to do whatever she wants to do when she's going to go down in the polls he's going to play the game again mexico has to put the line right away they don't want to be political. of a president that's seeking reelection we're back in just a moment. before
3:19 pm
in the eighty's with the rise of japan and the u.s. how to respond rejiggered the global currency markets at the plaza accord this is. the same people like a master plan for tension team after the crash of 1900 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 that's the moment appear on the horizon. and greece has long position to. as a sovereign player within the e.u. . stand up to brussels. when it comes to its own national interests but when it comes to dealing with the trumpet ministration is the or burn government just as ready to put hungary 1st.
3:20 pm

apartment he was then charged with attempting to sell them around the same time as he was sent to hospital but he claims he was beaten in custody and refused a lawyer which the police reject in both cases now convinced of his innocence is the online newspaper that gallen of works for they were posted his lawyers statements suggesting that the drugs were planted on him and also mentioning that he received many threats throughout his journalistic career for his work however the police claim his arrest was not random he but connected to a wider investigation into a drug ring and moscow. i. opened titian has circulated throughout the internet calling for gold in those immediate release over 55000 people have signed it including high profile journalists and russian media so many people are still waiting to see with bated breath what will happen next yeah i can actually give you an update on the last few moments we are hearing while the case is being considered mr gold enough will be placed under heists

a rest stop the line just fresh on the story and i think we'll bring it to you. but i want to turn to japan with the labor minister of the country has said it is socially acceptable for women to be told to wear high heels in the workplace professional groans south for a petition against gender based discrimination laws filed raising the age old debate to wear or not to wear. just for.
3:23 pm
this complete change the social norm so it's not seen as a man who seems. like man. because we are going up to a heeled shoes. that is socially accepted to something that falls within the realm of the occupation when this story broke bridge. that one of the season's biggest tennis tournaments the french open has been caught up in sexism storm. organizers said forecasts of bad weather meant they played both women semifinal symbol to mislead and away from center court the women's tennis association blasted the move saying quote they deserve to play on the prestigious center courts like the men leslie or delves
3:24 pm
a little deeper. 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 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
3:25 pm
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 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 205750 1000000 people watched the women's games of we're told that 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 footage no 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
3:26 pm
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 many you can't make people like something they don't still big corporations know they cannot profit by the need a new audience age they might not necessarily call a final bell to the sikh community but they know that they can turn and i think that by having this to even come off with a rainbow themed bottle of mouthwash and but vices i mean why i've been ridiculed for it if one looks at the range of hops featuring 9 flags in triples into a different section of the elton teaching community. blake is for a sexual side don't feel sexual attraction to anyone grace for great a sexual sometimes feel sexual attraction and demi sexual sin only feel it if they know someone well white nordstrom on a sexual allies and purple represents the whole community so don't worry if female

3:30 pm
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 kal 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.
