a hearing on possible extradition to the us the united nations special report tour on torture mills meltzer has condemned assad as treatment over the years saying the publisher has been abused and persecuted. 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 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 joined us and she is now awaiting his next extradition hearing which is scheduled
8:03 pm
for 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 once again here is neil's meltzer. 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 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. unbiased impartial court hearing the fair trial also requires the gallery that he's actually being charged
8:04 pm
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. new york times has acknowledged it did miss reported on the screwball poisoning story last year involving a former russian spy and his daughter in england 2 months ago the newspaper wrote that cia director gina haskell had shown president trump images of dead ducks and sick children allegedly from the scene of the attack yet british authorities deny the fall out had affected the animals or children are to scale up and looks at why it took the paper 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
8:05 pm
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 give something bone 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 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
8:06 pm
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 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. exactly did the cia director showed it trump she showed donald trump images of horror that had nothing to do with the incident at
8:07 pm
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. r c new york. the russian embassy in washington has 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 us. the international monetary fund has admitted it made mistakes in argentina damaging director christine or sorry managing director christine lagarde claims that they underestimated the country's complicated economic situation after taking full control of buenos aires fiscal policies forcing the public to bear the brunt of

severe austerity the i.m.f. is an organization with $189.00 member countries aimed at promoting cooperation and facilitating international trade but it's trying to record of revitalizing it national economies not only in argentina is not exactly overflowing with success stories as our correspondent brought gazi of comments. 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 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
8:09 pm
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 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 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 every symmetry of the governance 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
8:10 pm
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 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. 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
8:11 pm
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 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 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.
8:12 pm
said vice the group coverage begin years of suffering for nothing. mistakes. it was just a bad 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 to go polish this but now the poetics in our country is more democratic . it seems 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 as i mentioned 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
8:13 pm
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 the u.s. . was behind a lot of this. changing of the guard here with the right right wing and ministrations in argentina the nerve brazil ecuador and places like that so it's

watch these equally prestigious games but some see it as the latest example in an industry that denounces female athlete 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 the accusations of success 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 white now here in france is the biggest women's sport ornament the female fifa world cup size money is worth some $4000000.00 twice what it was back in 2015
