they most would agree on this the problem is how you tube defines this concept. of. the u.s. formally request the extradition of julian assange and wiki leaks kind of continues serving his prison sentence and you can. invest bits of journalists. being freed from the charges against him dropped 40 sources say those responsible for his case have been suspended. and leaked message this is just the corruption case against brazil's former president lula da silva it was in fact a stitch up designed to destroy his reelection bid. and we look at the controversial figure whose death in syria is being warmed by parts of the mainstream media outlets dropping the bomb who have done just how this force

against president assad and praised the non-relevant types of rebel. very good evening thanks for joining us this is. u.s. prosecutors have made a formal request to the u.k. for the extradition wiki leaks co founder julian assange just being slapped with 18 cianci spy the us department of justice including conspiracy to commit computer hacking and violation of the espionage act from london. yes confirmation today that u.s. authorities have put that racial request for extradition for the songs found the week this web site is currently serving about 15 prison sentence for skipping bail hearing. well jr this all is we'll see who's looking cool to wade in
6:02 pm
to do that to the marriage belmarsh prison and take his fall but has been able to visit him on t.v. he's been speaking to joel shipped would be told this the sooner you do it for making the story some problems be. possible. for ice. cream. but his spirit struck. right because it might. be. now stabilized. julian is still faces charges under the espinosa act of $97.00 season also conspiracy that the government computer is in the u.s.
6:03 pm
and that's why the former request for extradition has been made by the authorities at these events and many people are hoping to continue raising awareness all to himself just pace and many have been telling us why it's so important at the students face remains in the public eye d.o.j. is really really stacked high and so i think and a lot of people believe this is also a strategy there is not a guarantee that joyce songe will actually be extradited to the united states so right now we have a hearing on friday which is going to be a belmarsh for the courthouse outside belmarsh prison that's an extradition hearing then it's going to also go to the government as well and effectively you could have a situation where the home secretary would be charged with making that final call now does britain want that on its legacy that's a historic line to cross not only for the united states to charge a publisher a journalist on the espionage act but for the british government to. handover
6:04 pm
a journalist an award winning journalist to the united states where the u.n. and other bodies have ruled pretty clearly that he will not get a fair trial it's a highly politicized case but i think a lot of people believe that this this is going to be one this this battle for free press and free speech for julian saunders life will be also won in the public of the spear of public opinion and so building awareness is absolutely essential make no mistake julian assange he's only kramer as he here to say no no to the high crimes and the war crimes committed in the name of western civilization but not only that he's seen or he invited us all to see you know the u.s. isn't to punish him to make an example of him and to destroy this event to raise awareness for jews in the song and also the ticket sales for this event going to take his defense fees we know that there are going to be individuals such as dane 50 in westwood speaking tonight and many others who have been vocal in the course
6:05 pm
of julian assault and many people concerned that if he is extradited to the u.s. they're not completely deaf unable even the freedom of press. and while julian assange his case plays out in court his or her host ecuador is refusing to extradite an alleged american fraudster i could or in president glenda marino personally brought proceedings citing national sovereignty reasons we asked we can be exact to his cock strictly why such a very deprived to the 2 cases. i don't like double standards very hypocrite was very showy of the morals and the ethics of of these governments you know the message that wiki leaks has been publishing as been the truth showing that these you know major or. government organizations are committing fraud or committing war crimes and so forth. you know then.
6:06 pm
the messenger is going to be the one that keeps going you know walk away the fact the mare is it's always with a 100 percent factual evidence and maybe people need to start reading the facts of the matter rather good and those who present to. russian investigative journalist if i'm going off free from detention russian officials announced earlier they had dropped the criminal case against him over the legal possession of drugs the evidence gathered was said to be in re-examined been found in violent let's look at the 1st moments of the genesis release. your refusal to hear i hope the investigation will continue and no one will find themselves in the same situation i happen to be in the 1st of all. it's a pleasure thanks a lot aaron for security thank you but now a new term to come to terms with what's happened. the journalist attention provoked
6:07 pm
widespread outrage not just among the media but publicly to. the fallout from the controversial case the head of russia's narcotics police has been fired the police officers who carried out the arrest there they've been suspended they're under investigation by internal affairs over how they carried out the arrest whether they used too much force whether it was an evil itself they're also investigating the investigation which led to the arrests to see whether police went beyond the scope of their powers where they were whether they had legitimate evidence proved to carry out those arrests and i'm sure they'll be many more people fired because this was this was a huge scandal especially in russia very very resonant nevertheless for him the trial is now over it was put up with in a complex enough according to the results of forensic biological fingerprint and
6:08 pm
genetic testing we made a decision to stop the criminal prosecution of event go in of due to the lack of evidence of his participation in a crime the charges a dropped all charges dropped he's been released from house arrest the investigation is now over the investigation has switched to the investigators whether what they did was lawful and whether the went beyond the scope of their powers abused. their powers slits nicomedia the russian investigative committee will analyze the material sent by the interior ministry's own security. in connection with the police officers involved in the criminal prosecution of a bungle now the investigation will trace all circumstances related to particular not detention over the illegal circulation of mexico to get drugs if the print is to be sure there are grounds for concern a lawful and reasonable decision will be taken in this case of course has provoked
6:09 pm
outrage both in the media and among the public how did it all start when he was arrested in on friday that's when the news went public 1st police said that during the arrest they found 5 packages containers with methadone a drug inside them this is all coming from the police the investigators that have now been suspended immediately after his arrest the controversy began because he said that they had been planted the drugs had been planted on him and add his house urine tests other tests carried out by medics showed that he had no drugs in his system nevertheless police tried to charge him the accusation was that he was part of a drug ring his colleagues reacted straightaway the ones that work at medusa the outlet the publication where he works they didn't believe the charges they believed that they were falsified they knew him they didn't believe that he could do such
6:10 pm
a thing you know sell drugs he's respected journalist there was a lot of outrage over the arrested self because apparently he said he was assaulted by a police officer he was taken to hospital the released with the doctor saying that there was nothing serious and. the scandal exploded every day it got bigger and bigger and bigger went global really do believe we had politicians on the other you know the western hemisphere talking about this 1st began with russian journalists there they came out in solidarity russia's 3 biggest newspaper. is running with the same headline front page saying we are ivan golde a not so in total solidarity with and then it was the t.v. channels the joint the editing chief margarita simonyan she came out in support of him eventually reached even the politicians we had like me a putin spokesperson come out in support of him and you know with the pressure
6:11 pm
building in building. that is what pushed the ministry of the interior to start looking at things seriously to see whether something had gone wrong because we would had protests public protests was just journalists and politicians public protests in front of the ministry of interior that really got things go and. i'm joined on the line now by journalist and writer daniel result welcome daniel what do you think the incident here means for journalism in both russia globally. well i don't know it doesn't look good certainly. as you know we have. during the sonship united states and. russia. and now certainly russia compromise on it was for treatment of. us
6:12 pm
so i therefore it seems that both governments are complicit in the. anti journalist measures. do you see a positive though in the fact that the charges have been dropped he's ultimately been released but it wasn't a great start to the to the whole. of course of course it's made that's that either that charges were dropped and the prosecution of june the sun goes on it's absolutely lentulus so there's no i there's no indication of us or the british so we equivalent regarding signage so i guess that's a point in favor of of the russian regime. but of course it should never have gotten this far just as should not in this war with a stoppage. toward extent do you see people power playing a role here there was widespread outrage over the journalists the rest of the protests in the streets to thing that played a key role in his release. i'm sure it didn't and sex is interesting it seems to
6:13 pm
play the have a role in russia than has been in the u.s. where the authorities are actually in pervious and pocket process so maybe are that's a more useful instrument in your country than ours given the widespread media reaction the coverage of this particular case received one thing it says about civil society at the moment in russia. it says that it's that it's. it's the situation is not good a journey that they this is just this should never have happened he was he was harassed arrested on false charges militancy is doing his job and that's shows that freedom of the press is not as more turns and english than should be so i think that it's a wake up call that civil liberties and russia are under stress as they are in the u.s. than you appreciate you tom thanks for joining us and i'll take my guest on the right
6:14 pm
are dying a little thank you. political scandal is about to didn't brazil over a link to come the station from the country's top prosecutor in a court judge that story am will after the break. you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.
6:15 pm
we are in a strange situation where everybody is making a lot of noise about military action against iran but nobody in the part of that alliance actually wants to do it there's no desire for it so do you hope that iran makes a mistake. somehow. and then does it some kind of confrontation and then the iranians will be forced to come to the table you know begging for some kind of solution on american terms but you know i think that is dreaming that's a pipe dream. welcome back a scandal has erupted in brazil after a link to messages suggest the corruption case against the country's former president lula da silva was politically motivated. the message is published by investigative news side the intercept appeared to show a judge discussing the probe with prosecutors supporters of lula da silva say the
6:16 pm
leak confirms their fear is the case was a stitch up designed to prevent her from winning reelection last year the progress part of brazil's biggest anti corruption crusade known as operation car wash sold dozens of high level politicians being imprisoned was sentenced to almost a decade behind bars for corruption a money laundering including for exempting a luxury apartment in exchange for state contracts now he denies ever owning that apartment and the messages suggest prosecutors themselves question the strength of evidence against him one of the journals behind these revelations said they made sure the messages were genuine. me we waited and waited for a response from the prosecutors for them to prove that the messages were genuine that's a very cautious and scrupulous recitative when you work with explosive material like this you need to be absolutely certain that what you publish is true the prosecutors and the judge haven't publicly expressed doubts about messages they
6:17 pm
know they're genuine as do we. the leaks have also led to accusations the judge gave biased advice to the prosecutor more details he's killable. linda silver who served as president of brazil from 2003 until 2010 is still wildly popular in the country brazilians associate him with good economic times when living standards were rising now a newly leaked conversation sheds some light on why he is serving a 12 year prison sentence for corruption it turns out that his trial the judge and the prosecutor were in cahoots these are some of the private conversations that took place during the trial with judge mauro seemingly instructing the prosecutor about how to proceed with the case. hasn't it been a long time without an operation you cannot make that kind of mistake now the thing called with a that's a good idea and a prosecutor asking the judge for advice what do you think of these crazy
6:18 pm
statements from the workers' party national board should with fish to rebut well and to silva has long maintained his innocence he says the entire case was a set up he has named names. on how to political life and all of a sudden i was convicted for money laundering in organized crime when it was all our law i settled when i was by the federal police the public prosecutor's office someone more of who took on the investigation with more i didn't need any proof of crimes committed because they all had a plan in mind the plan was to paint the workers' party as a criminal organization with a criminal boss who happens to be made well it seems the new leaks show that little the decision was right here is an extract where the judge is seemingly directing the prosecutor and the prosecutor himself isn't moving his case is weak. so listen for me the contact person is annoyed at having be nice to see dr property transfer deeds for one of the x. president's children apparently the person would be willing to provide the information and therefore pawson it along the source is serious they will say that
6:19 pm
they were accusing bayes a newspaper articles and for gyal evidence and here is what makes it even more scandalous loyd to silva's imprisonment is what prevented him from running for president last year and take a look at the polls to silva had a pretty solid lead so then also narrow who won the election after his main opponent was blocked from running actually promoted judge morrow after he took office i salute said garry moore the only man in brazil who's proving that we can do politics differently now the judge seems to think he didn't do anything wrong he says that the real crime is that these conversations have been made public it is regrettable that the person responsible for the criminal hacking of the prosecutor's cell phones has not be. identified as the source there is no sign of any abnormality or providing directions as a magistrate despite information being taken out of context and the sensationalism of the articles my own as of course those accusations published by the intercept
6:20 pm
are not true and their origin is linked to a criminal hack even though i don't acknowledge the trustworthiness of the messages realized that they can create some discomfort for some people who are deeply sorry about that leak telegram conversations give the impression that the silver was railroaded in order to keep him off the ballot and there is more to come from me and we are continuing our work on the case as we said these are just our 1st reports we have a lot of information we have analyzed i think only one percent of the conversations we will publish materials from these messages. parts of the mainstream media in the syrian opposition are mourning a controversial figure that they have been branding a rebel i can't he died in a battle against syrian government forces in homs province that's according to his rebel factions the fighters rolled in syria's uprising was the subject of an award winning documentary the goalkeeper for the country's youth football team in going
6:21 pm
to prominence for staging street protests against president assad and singing songs that praise the revolution some of those songs the whole values seem to go completely against those of western countries fighting islamic state in the country is donald quarter explains a warning though his report contains scenes of an execution. he became the poster boy of the syrian uprising or shall we say the voice. and his death in battle against government forces apparently made him a fallen hero in the eyes of the media syrian football and singer of revolution killed in conflict. syrian soccer goalie who became rebel i can dies in battle
6:22 pm
syrian soccer star symbol of free vault dies after battle. that also route was a former syrian footballer who turned rebel fighter and not just any rebel fighter all know he became an icon of the fight against bashar al assad so he wasn't shying away from speaking the truth here's one of the so-called singer of the revolutions greatest hits judge for yourself. perhaps the lyrics don't exactly communicate the artist's intended message that's all right though also it was much more articulate about his political beliefs in this 2014 interview that our vision of what we do blame islamic state. but that blame comes with love because we know that these 2 groups not politicized and have
6:23 pm
the same goals as us they are working for god and they care about islam and muslims no you didn't hear that wrong the same goals as islamic state and apparently 911 was a great accomplishment to. was good. there are those in the media who acknowledge it's problematic characteristics but for them a little elbow rubbing with terrorist groups shouldn't stand between him and his rightful page in the history books. some individuals celebrated as heroes make you doubt all stories of heroes in history books others like abdel baset also root not inspire of but despite his flaws make those stories highly plausible he's a true legend and his story is well documented may his soul rest in peace so if
6:24 pm
these guys got an oscar. abdul deserves a grammy no less as in other. kovar western operations it becomes important to to maintain this sense of plausible deniability it's clearly been useful for for the us and the us media to maintain. this whole idea of there being moderate democratic forces among the rebels in syria but clearly most of the groups fighting the government were really extreme islamist groups that's the reality and they're these were the groups that the cia and and its allies its british and french and saudi and qatari

and turkish allies were supporting and arming from the very early stages of this conflict. trade tariffs are the big issue for china and its relations with another country the u.s. donald trump's issued an ultimatum to his chinese counterpart xi jinping urging him to attend the upcoming g. 20 summit if you doesn't the u.s. president's threatening to impose another $300000000000.00 worth of trade tariffs. president xi doesn't come well that mean that the tariffs on china for the additional $300000000000.00 i'm going to go on immediately yes it would and i think you will go and i think we're scheduled to have a meeting. of the threat comes amid a trade war between washington and beijing last month trying to raise tariffs on $200000000000.00 with the chinese goods 25 percent beijing retaliated with hikes on a revised list of u.s.

products china's response time to more than 5000 goods and came into force on june 1st beijing insists it does not want tension with the u.s. but will respond to white house actions. when we don't know more china does not want to trade war which we're not afraid of one if the u.s. is willing to negotiate equal footing our door will be open if the us insists on escalating measuring frictions fight to the finish in the meantime trump is scrambling for advice on sunday he called former u.s. president jimmy carter to switch diplomatic recognition of china from taipei to beijing in 1909 carter says that trump fears the country's economy is pulling far ahead of america and international an independent china especially standard long thinks trumps plans to counter china will benefit no. but it's going to be highly destructive especially especially if the terrorist there as why didn't affect a lot more products and because nowadays. all these formats the production supply

and where the chain around the world is it becomes much more the thieves because it will take. for example call of different components the engines the hoarsely that shay sees there only one of the print countries than and they were in territories and you just can't separate one from the other even. rare materials like rare earths embedded in a lot of products across the globe so the thing that you can just impose there is and expect that all the damage is one by one side is really. what we're reality so i think that ready all the rest of it was likely to be held hostage to this increasing conflict between a lot of states and china. thanks staying with us here on out international also from a for they seeming to stick around my colleague nic you haven't been here with all
