later joining us this evening this is r.t. and. u.s. prosecutors have made a formal request to the u.k. for the extradition of wiki leaks co-founder julian assange that's according to media reports citing officials from both countries he has the details. well that extradition hearing is due to take place on friday we understand from the wiki leaks editor in chief that the u.s. department of defense is due to present its evidence as to why it wants to extra julian assange he's not expected to appear in person but he could appear via a live video link so what's he charged with well there are 17 charges and counts of spying this is because of the publication of classified military and diplomatic documents by the wiki leaks website and also a count of trying to conspiracy to hack a u.s. government computer now if julian assange is found guilty of those charges he could

spend up to 175 years in prison so essentially this is a life sentence we can leaks editor in chief says it's just not possible that he will receive a fair trial i do believe that we are going to win this with legal arguments there is no chance the julian will get a fair trial here in the u.k. or in the u.s. of course unless there's a change of reporting that people actually start speaking out we're not talking about a prosecution we're talking about a persecution julian a soldier is currently serving a 50 week prison sentence that's because he skipped bail and back in 2012 he's serving that at the high security belmarsh prison now in recent weeks there's been concern for his health he was too ill to appear at a court hearing video that was obtained by artie's rocky knees agency showing a songe inside the prison looking incredibly poor and thin julius on his father visited him in prison in the medical ward where he's been receiving attention for

that weight loss and songes father said that he thought his son's weight had stabilized also expressed concerns about this extradition and julia songes father says that if his son is extradited then this is the slippery slope for journalism to. or actions or words against somebody. to. hold you. through him. proving he's an icon. for. progress back in april julian assange was forcibly removed from the ecuadorian embassy where he'd sought asylum for around 7 years he sought that asylum back in 2012 following the fact that there were accusations of sexual assault brought to him by

individuals in sweden that were being pursued by the authorities now julian assange has always denied those allegations of sexual assault and he said that they were a pretext for moving him to sweden and then to be able to be extradited directly to the usa from there now this all spans form a massive dump of classified military documents this was provided to the wiki leaks co-founder to the website by a former u.s. private chelsea manning since then the u.s. government has a searing julian assault for the fact that the wiki leaks co-founder on the website published those classified documents which showed alleged war crimes being committed by u.s. soldiers in iraq. and for julian assange she awaits his fate his former protector ecuador is refusing to extradite an alleged american fruit to the u.s. it could or in president plenum or

a nose personally block proceeding citing national sovereignty reasons humanitarian concerns and international law yes we can expect to face clocks that clea why the cases are treated so differently than when double standards very hypocrite always very showy of the morals and ethics of of these governments you know the message that wiki leaks has been publishing has been the truth showing that these you know major. government organisations are committing fraud or committing war crimes and so forth. and you know then the messenger is going to be the one that keeps going you know walk away the fact that mary is it's always with the high notes which so factual. maybe people need to start reading the facts of the matter rather go loz through prison to us.

really $250.00 survivors and relatives of the victims of the grand tower tragedy in london suing 3 us firms that made materials used on the block of flats it's claimed that they facilitated the spread of the devastating fire in 2017 some of the materials are banned from use on u.s. guy scrapers prompting accusations of double standards are comics and the message that foreign lives are worth less than american lives and that it is acceptable to expose people outside the united states to dangerous to which people in the united states would not be exposed. there's also the names planting producer al connick whose product was highly flammable something that helped the ground spread rapidly but also names will pull the maker of the refrigerator that's believed to have caused the fire and insulation made by seller tax is said to release cyanide gas leading to further avoidable deaths. i.

went 3 companies expressed sympathy for the victims will pool so noted that 2 separate probes failed to find fault with its refrigerated cell attack said it's insulation was just one element of the cladding system used on the tower of conic said it would responding course we spoke tonight to american lawyers behind the lawsuit to outlined why u.s.

companies should also bear some responsibility. ball of fire and you tragedy occurred in london and make no mistake this was the tremendous tragedy many people were killed many people were horrifyingly hurt the war i'm doing that actually led to it came out united states and specifically the state of pennsylvania if those products were never sold busy to those to those. people to those companies in the u.k. this never happens it's more of a mission all we have to do is work hard every day to remember the suffering our clients went through and we have to remember what the goal is and that goal is to is to prosecute this case so that companies like around the excel since we're all so they never ever feel like you do this again at this point in time these are the companies we have sued these are the companies we're seeking to hold responsible

for the wrongdoing that occurred up to the extent that there are other facts that show anything down the road that's a conversation that will have at that point we believe our targets are after it we believe our targets are the ones that caused this horrible tragedy and we believe our targets need to be brought to justice in pennsylvania. kelly said to the u.k. now in pace have rejected a ruling out a no deal bragg's it comes as top contenders to become the next prime minister say that they want to keep a no deal option on the table. but said langton and a person can't punch does that take a few months ago it seemed like the u.k. pun was pretty set against having a deal bragg's it but that doesn't like is the case anymore. yes indeed a this is an intriguing day it's an extraordinary day an extraordinary motion in parliament basically these are labor and tory rebels getting together for

a motion to say we want the option the house of commons wants the option to rule out a no do we want the say on legislation to stop that so a vote was put forward and it came out with 309229811 votes in favor of the government what does all of this mean effectively it's about who controls brecht's it and the no deal option effectively the government were worried about the fact that the house of commons would take over the options of how we control how we leave the year which is set for october 31st they said that this would set a dangerous precedent if parliament were to have control over this in the meantime the opposition was saying effectively the new leader that came in the new leader of the tory party de facto the new prime minister could then effectively say we're not going to go through parliaments i'm going to take you out of the as and when and have the power to do that so when the result came in service some intriguing responses there were cheers from the tory backbenchers but the labor leader jeremy corbyn said well you won't be cheering some much in september but hints at is the

fact that he was planning all he could be hinting at doing that at saving a vote of no confidence in the new tory leader that would be in september after the parliamentary recess so in the meantime jeremy corbin's disappointed but in the meantime great for whomever the new leader is coming in and at the moment the current favorite is boris johnson he's always said that he wanted to keep a no deal option on the table as it was a vital renegotiating tool he felt that he had to go back and renegotiate another withdrawal deal with the he wanted to be able to say to them we can say that we're going to drop out if we don't have a deal but in the meantime the you have said well we don't have an appetite to renegotiate anyway. but this on the day has been approved. has been negotiated successfully by the commission and has been approved by. member states the election of a new minister will of course not change. there is what is on the table that is

no well as we're hearing there for the they don't particularly want to renegotiate and the problem is back in the u.k. is that the reason they didn't go sheet a deal 3 times it went through parliament it was rejected and the prime minister resigned and that's where we end up in the situation that we are now in that we're looking for a new tory leader and therefore a new prime minister and the problem was originally we're meant to go out on march the 20 not to mention leave the e.u. the e.u. looks to us that you can't come up with a deal you haven't agreed to anything will extend it for 7 months in the meantime looking at then the new tory leadership race that's coming through boris johnson and several of his other colleagues have said well we're now meant to be out by october the certain 1st i'm going to take you out or we would take you out regardless of whether or not a deal has been negotiated and that's what led to some of the panic in the commons to begin with in the meantime boris and some of his rhetoric today is slightly soften that looking at what he said i'm not saying for nobody a lot tommy said it just effectively wanted that that bargaining chip but it's been

a couple of other interesting parts come out to the story in the meantime this being a poll saying that if boris johnson worse who leads the conservative party what to go for a general election he would actually win by a $140.00 seats thereby putting the government back in control of all those dealings there's also in the meantime elite cabinet memo that's that's come out in the press saying no deal would be an option the country isn't actually ready for it we wouldn't have the medicines between i think it was yes 6 to 8 months we wouldn't be ready for that also traders with border deals they would be ready for about 5 months so it's quite an intriguing point it might be a win for the government in the meantime but we still have that tory leadership race and there's also the ramifications of is the country actually prepared for a no deal in the 1st place kay patterson brings the latest live from london thank you. almost. $80000.00 people have signed a petition demanding italy drop criminal proceedings against german boat captain klump 35 year old skipper of

capital st petersburg is playing a leading role with the team with the wife of legends today facing off against some of russia's biggest stars. is that for us. and so now i'm back to the north the capital st petersburg after a short break and today i'm going to be doing something very very special follow me i'll show you what it is. a match of legends. those are 5 big names from all over the world and 5 big names from russia. and your humble servant will be right here commentating the game. both. gold and by do you have a really beautiful use the bible amortization and actually a good score to go this season against manchester united.

russians the likes of you know having a lot of gold and you know this will be quietly varies but there's a guest now on the ball to watch the bradleys held up well i intercepted and i had a look at all the last thing is you really do you know we'll just see all the reasons we are all still here we really need. to see they're getting louder about them and we've got a little bit 8 minutes remaining in the office you know even after we'll have a 10 minute break and then and i'm 20 minutes i was like at all. russians are on the ball again attacking me. very seriously after losing my one right here. it was at all the way it was on it and i was here and just on the ball you go we'll see for the russian you

actually. the match in st petersburg ended with the russian win 4 goals to 3 on penalties after 16 goals to 16 goals in regulation time russian's win against you a legend steve thank you for being with us hopefully it's the 1st of many and we'll see you next year at the euros all across the european continent. ok the wrap things up for this news hour join me at the top of the next for updates on our top stories. oh. oh oh. oh if you're there we are here

outside of. the. oh mum. you got to do it but we don't have one yet. 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 and somehow and then there isn't 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. a paradise with some all around turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether. there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.

or. the welcome to all the part of the detention of a prominent investigative journalist on drug smuggling charges has joined in the russian society like your rascality for nonstop picking so fond of police have what is and solidarity from across the media industry what does the case of above the law say about modern day russia and the ways of affecting change here well to discuss that i'm now joined by looks a minute editor in chief of the moscow radio station and said it's especially by this 3rd benedicto thank you very much for joining us michelle of course your station has always been quite critical about what's going on in russia so i've

reporting on all sorts of improprieties and malpractises that is every day routine for you but as far as i recall no no such cases have triggered so much mass to you through public outcry as the recent arrest of iran girl in office why do you think his case received such a response or did you go all i think the reason you said and the goal now of my case affected so many people is because there is a slight detail here that not many people have noticed drugs are a serious problem in russian and it gets worse and worse and we all are all aware of this and rob we all have children so when our colleague. was detained for alleged drug possession or for dealing drugs and what is the 1st impression among journalists was that they were shocked because journalists are well familiar with this problem so this is what they thought about them initially and later it became

obvious that there were many holes in this case and we realized that maybe there is no actual war on drugs it's not maybe nobody's actually fighting drugs maybe people are using drugs for character assassination. political opponents or investigative journalists so the reason for this treaties that people are terrified wonderful that this war on terror may be actually used. to squash dissent to go off talk about that in more detail later but that the public outcry is certainly very important to what i thought there is also such a thing in russia as the so-called telephone justice and personal connections did you have to make some phone calls to try and help move on. yes that is late edition . more when this whole thing happened i was said on this ng.

4 of. president putin was giving he's on the west you and i was watching my news. and i've been calling it was put in couldn't go no go no go go no go no go no no we're just put in but now that's when aerialist that something was going on to go just that day gollan else has made more news in social media than clinton which is extraordinary indeed it's. you know i have former you know concern burn me or you guinea roy's woman and working for me at the reuse lesion that it was and he was had a city with drugs foundation and when he is as tough on drug dealers as a man can be bought. and what he started telling example does it doesn't on some you know because of the. drugs he hates the drug dealers he always sides with police about in this particular case he told me he doesn't then i realized

something's wrong again i think many people are like that which if you believe who drugs or cover the fight against true ugs they realized something was wrong indeed it is clear that there was a massive abuse of legal process in case of a mongolian else ever asked as it was denied immediate access to his attorney he had bodily injuries on a lot and information about his case shared with mass media was not always true to the fact in one of your interviews you mentioned meeting with some of the senior ranks in the police what do they say about these breaches of procedure if you. look i did talk to the chief moscow police general but. i asked him could you please explain to me of that i arrived in moscow on the night train and i met with him the next morning i asked him could you please explain this situation to me maybe i don't know somebody maybe i don't understand the out so i.
