5:03 pm
a prolongation 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. just now awaiting his next extradition hearing which is scheduled for whedon's stay he is wanted by washington on charges of soliciting publishing classified u.s. government information now if extradited unfun guilty he could face a prison sentence of up to 175 years needles military 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
5:04 pm
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 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. the right to know the headline story of a new york times has acknowledged to miss reported on the script story last year
5:05 pm
involving a former russian spy and his daughter in england 2 months ago the newspaper wrote that cia director gina. schoen present from images of dead ducks and ill children allegedly from the scene of the of the british authorities to the fallout how defected they are the most or children looks at why it took their daily 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 an earlier
5:06 pm
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 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.
5:07 pm
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 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. 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. let's take
5:08 pm

5:09 pm
people and people make mistakes you meet we might. be late to work likewise the i.m.f. 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. put together together with the action 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 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. 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 $50000000000.00 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 go because these 2 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
5:11 pm
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 this. fun 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 a stereotype. in

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 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 that'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
5:14 pm
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 pharmacy i was seeing the consequences of that but it's also part of the u.s. dollar policy interest rate policy and now the global economy. mirror for us to trade promises. a russian investigative journalist for the online news website medusa who is charged with drugs position and intent to supply in moscow
