boys an increase in the u.k. almost 2 months the paper failed to correct an article about the pictures showing president supposedly capturing the aftermath of the nerve agent. certainly. agency ruptly has obtained exclusive footage of whistleblower julian assange in london belmarsh prison the video shows the wiki leaks founder chatting with fellow inmates in the high security facility where he's serving a 50 weeks. it is the 1st time images of us have appeared since his arrest and removal from the ecuadorian embassy in london are most 2 months ago. concerns have been mounting over his health in recent weeks after he failed to appear. for court

at the end of may via video link for a hearing on possible extradition to the us united nations special report a tour on torture mills meltzer has condemned the 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 the terrier rate that predicted the psychiatrist the comping my visit what would can happen obviously in a problem of this is 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 julian is songes now awaiting his next extradition hearing which is scheduled for wednesday he is wanted by washington on charges of solicitation 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'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 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 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

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. the new york times has acknowledged it misrepresented on the script poisoning story last year involving a former russian spy and his daughter in law and 2 months ago the newspaper wrote that the cia director gina hospital had shown president 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. 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

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 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 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 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. 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. r.t. 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 magine managing director christine lagarde claims 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 and the i.m.f.

is an organization with $189.00 member countries aimed at promoting cooperation and facilitating international trade but its track record of revitalizing national economies not only in argentina is not exactly overflowing with success stories our correspondent comments. 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. 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. 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 or mockery of old the next go because these 2 want to have a relationship with that we're 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. 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. 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. 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 buy before but now would 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 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

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 the ministrations in argentina is a nerve brazil ecuador in places like that so it's part of u.s. policy political policy 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. and therefore you wish to trade probably. the lawyer of a russian investigative journalist charge in moscow with drug possession and intent to supply says the reporter has been mistreated while in custody the attorney also says he will appeal to the european court of human rights concerning the conditions of the journalists arrest. yvonne goal and of a reporter for the news website medusa has been placed under house arrest until early august or until his case is heard in court. his case has caused outrage among many journalist groups in russia as the journalist himself claims he was framed go enough believes he was targeted due to his investigation into possible

corruption links between russian authorities and the funeral business 300 people gathered outside the court to support him. it's difficult it feels like a movie i never thought that i'd be at my own funeral thank you very much to all of you. but the rest i'm a do as a correspondent yvonne going over was released from hospital where he underwent multiple medical examinations doctors say he suffered no serious trauma going over was detained on thursday after officers said they found drugs in his possession as well as scales and more drugs in his moscow 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 cullen 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 in moscow. open petition 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 in the end the court decided to place skull and all of under house arrest so many people are still waiting to see with bated breath what will happen next because they should be able to do it this is not a victory yes the point has saved his life and he's probably the reason is that he's now going to live with the new limits because of. france's yellow vests are back at it turning out for another weekend of protests more after a short break international.

what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go right to be press this is what the full 3 of them can't be good. interested always in the water. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be in the spot wasteful look at which books had any interrogations out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make them one comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an

answer don't accept their denials she said if i would. say i stayed there i would be home by that time the next day there's a culture of accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all the. international a yellow vest of protesters are conducting their 35 consecutive weekend of anti-government protests in paris with demonstrations being held across france. to gas to disperse the crowds as 2 men. are in the hundreds last weekend in the turnout was at its lowest since the movement started in november last year french interior ministry said around 1500 marched through paris on june 1st the protests

a 5 percent import tax on all mexican goods last week that was due to come into effect this coming monday trump had warned that the rate would then gradually increase until it reached 25 percent of a 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 mexico's president manual lopez daughter had previously struck a very different tone including on the campaign trail. that i was. the united states government would want us to do the work by blocking migrants from central america who. want to have a relationship i read to rate that friendship with the people and with the government of the united states this is our position the u.s. authorities president trump of all behaved very well because they have not closed dialogue. in addition to restricting migration northwards donald trump says mexico

has also agreed to buy more american agricultural products the deals being seen by some as an attempt by the u.s. president to galvanize his support base and fulfill campaign promises. he. was going to pay. was government and policy commentator guadalupe cut a company called the threat of terrifying a piece of political theater by the white house. this is the actual hands of it from here to the election when you have listened when you don't have we're going to have 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 with our threat that was

not credible mexico already already fall into the same trap and they are going to continue all that you're going to be used in that continuously to do whatever she wants to do when she's going to go under false you're going to play the game again mexico has to put the land right away if they don't want to be at the political opinions of of the of a president that seeking reelection. one of the year's biggest tennis tournaments the french open has been caught up in a sexism storm the organizers said forecasts of bad weather forced both women's semifinals to be played simultaneously and away from center court women's tennis association blasted the move saying quote they deserved to play on the prestigious center courts like the men artist or slayer delve a little deeper. these 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

the 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 schedule and their involvement in an event or their salary or their approach to need to use the accusations of 6 those tendencies in school are common in the. glaring a 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 in tennis 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 worth 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 1000000000 new us that the menstruation pulls in in 2750000000 people watched the women's games of record but it was still fall short of the men's numbers it's going to take a long time if not forever for attitudes to change women's for them oh 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 what's next you going to ask me to watch a boxing match between women than a rugby match i don't want to think that so. you can make people like something
