4:02 pm
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 court at the end of may via video link for a hearing on possible extradition to the u.s. the united nations special repertoire on torture house couldn't treatment done that years saying the publisher has been abused persecuted niall's melzer has been talking to r t the full interview. later this saturday or can be found online. 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 common in my visit what would can happen obviously in a problem of this is that it will have a reversible damage 1st on the psychological emotional level but then also on the
4:03 pm
physical level it can lead to nervous breakdowns or even actually then to cardiovascular. damage that is no longer reversible. no waiting his next extradition hearing which is scheduled for witten stay 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 here niles meltzer 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 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
4:04 pm
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 and would be protected under i believe it's the 1st amendment of the us constitution under the freedom of press and freedom of expression. ok moving on now the new york times has acknowledged it misreported on the script powell poisoning story last year involving a former russian spy and his daughter indignant 2 months ago the newspaper wrote that cia director gina hospital president is of dead ducks and ill children
4:05 pm
allegedly from the scene of the attack but the british authorities deny the fallout how defective the animals are or children. 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 offer my apology i strive 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
4:06 pm
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 poles 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 scree palls and feeding it to ducks however this story fell apart the next
4:07 pm
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 or became ill as a result of the incident so. it 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 kaleb oppen r.t. new york. the russian embassy in washington responded to the new york times correction they criticised the length of time it took for the mistake to be aggressed unsaid the real correction would be
4:08 pm
a return to normal relations between russia and the us. right on to another headline story this hour the international monetary fund has admitted it made mistakes in argentina monitoring director of christine legarde cleanings they underestimated the country's complicated economic situation after taking full control of buenos ariz fiscal policies forcing the public to bear the brunt of severe austerity the i.m.f. is an organization with a $189.00 member countries aimed at promoting cooperation and facilitating international trade but its track record of revitalizing national economies not only argentina isn't exactly overflowing with success stories as our senior correspondent gets the of explaining. you've got to understand we're just people and people make mistakes you meet we might. be late to work likewise the i.m.f.
4:09 pm
just people but when these school up there is tens of billions of dollars on the lie it was an incredibly complicated economic situation that many activists including us underestimated tippett when we started trying to help them put together together with the. in time with or it is 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 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 hoop listeners in the shadow of economic chaos but there's light at the end of the tunnel the i.m.f. shining with $50000000000.00 in loans with strings attached austerity to the bone budget cuts tax and terrified the usual stuff that makes miserable
4:10 pm
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 go 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.
4:11 pm
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 the i.m.f. makes mistakes with everybody greece for example the economy wasn't restored jobs weren't created and the quote notable failures the poor 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.
4:12 pm
loans really don't belong in that category of. bolivia they did everything the i.m.f. told them to privatized water utilities edgy 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 suffering for nothing. mistakes. we used to beg 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 who had to go polish this but now the poetics in our country is more democratic. it seems there's confusion misunderstanding about the point of on meth
4:13 pm
loans few things if any actually improve mistakes made liberally the i.m.f. are just people as i mentioned no 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 nat's 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.
4:14 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 or the nerve 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 there for us to trade promises. mexico has agreed to take what it's called on precedented measures to stem the flow of migrants heading to the u.s. in exchange washington will scrap the tar ups it was planning to impose on imports of mexican goods and president donald trump took to twitter in friday night to load
4:15 pm
in. 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 agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of migration through mexico and to our southern border well let's go through the figures the u.s. 1st threatened to impose a 5 percent import tax on all mexican goods last week hefty enough that was jus to come into effect this monday mr trump had warned that the rate would then increase significantly month by month until it reached 25 percent now the prospect of sweeping tar of sled almost immediately to the mexican authorities are stopping tougher border controls and 1st the low thousands of my clients from central america were stopped just a few miles into mexican territory the president of the country under as manuel lopez obrador had previously struck
4:16 pm
a very different tone in turning on the campaign trail. laws and more than labels the united states government would want us to do the dirty work by blocking 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 of all behave well because they're not close dialogue. well in addition to restricting migration northwards donald trump's aids message was also agreed to by more american cultural products the deal will likely be seen as an attempt by the president to galvanize his support base and indeed fulfill come pain problem. he was she was going to page was. expert on governments and policy guadeloupe korea
4:17 pm
cabrera told me earlier the threat of import tax hikes was a piece of political theater by the white house. this is the actual times i mean from here to the election when you have less and when you don't have we're going to have this type of spectacles that would say. it was not credible that the president of the united states would impose tariffs in mexico it was very important that mexico in the end was pressured to negotiate the deal with the united states that was there in federal with. threat that was not credible mexico already already fall into the same trap and they are going to continue all that he's going to be using that continuously to do whatever he wants to do when he's going to go down in the polls he's going to play the game again mexico has to put the line right away if they don't want to be at the political opinions of of the president seeking reelection. yellow vests protestors are conducting near 30

4:23 pm
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 best topped by facts like 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
