good evening and welcome this is our team today. 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 with more here's r.t. shiela due to ski. 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 argument 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 of 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 and thin julian assange his father visited him in prison in the medical ward where he's been receiving attention for

that weight loss songes father said that he thought his son's weight had stabilized also expressed concerns about this extradition and julian assange is father says that if his son is extradited then this is the slippery slope for journalism to. for actions of votes against somebody. to. hold you. through him. proving he's an icon. for. all of us back in april julian a songe 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 assaults 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 that 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 been pursuing julian a source 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. to the u.k. where m.p.'s have rejected ruling out a no deal bragg's it becomes a stop condoned this to become the next pm say they want to keep a no deal option on the table. party to force from the. 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 i've been the deal option the opposition was saying effectively the new leader that came in the new leader of the tory party de facto the new prime minister because that effectively say if we're not going to go through parliaments i'm going to take the u.k. absolutely as we were not have the power to do that so 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 new 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 before has been approved by has been negotiated successfully by the commission and has been approved by all member states and the election of a new prime minister will of course not change the parameters of what is on the table that is no 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 there's also elite cabinet memo that that's come out in the press saying no deal would be a lot for the country isn't actually ready for it so it's quite an intriguing point

it might be a win for the government in the meantime but we still have that tory. race and there's also the ramifications of is the country actually prepared for a no deal in the 1st place. and just as a professor of european law at edgel university in england he joins me on the line now very good evening francesco we've heard about the results of the vote how significant is it what will it mean for the incoming prime minister whoever that might be. well i think the vote was unpredictable if if you actually look at who voted for war you'll find that the labor rebels i think there were 10 of them. just about balance if you like negated the number of tory rebels i'm not surprised the government won hey i actually think it was probably a mistake to try and grab the initiative in parliament through this mechanism obviously the headlines will be the government won but i'm not so sure that the

result would be the same if it was a confidence vote and if the real option was leaving without a deal so the ramifications in the short term will be that yes no deal is on the table if you're a conservative why undermine whoever comes in who thinks that they're going to renegotiate a deal but of course the view from brussels is entirely different these same pace of a vote few months back to rule out the possibility of a no deal breakers i mean sentiment is changing what's going on now i don't think sentiment is changing i just think it was the wrong moment to doing what you don't do if you're in the opposition this is a failure of labor strategy or opposition strategy what you don't do is try and intrude into a leadership contest by daring those in the conservative party to vote against their own. possible leaders what was really instructive was

last night when. one of the candidates who is also a cabinet minister 1st of all said he thought the labor motion yes he could see supporting that but of course how do you supported it he would have had to have resigned as a cabinet minister which means he took paedos isn't a position in the leadership contest so that this was not a good mechanism if you lie. if you want to stop rex i think there will be more opportunities down the road i don't think the majorities have shifted i just think that context is slightly different and i think things will move on. as we're clear about who is going to win the contest in the next 2 or 3 weeks well speaking of the contenders to be prime minister what struck you as most interesting most surprising so far who stands out here. i think to the person who stands out for me is probably jeremy hunt this will surprise

a number of people who know me i think he surprises me because he has. appeared to appeal to. those who want to leave the european union but don't want to risk their seats he is a pragmatist he's a i guess in the other language we call him an opportunist pragmatist and i think he's done he's done pretty well he will mobilize all the anti boris votes boris has not surprise me at all i mean i think what he said today about he aims not to leave without a deal well but he aims not to but it depends on what he proposes to brussels so in a sense. hunt has been the one who's who's impressed me the most obviously the most honest of the candidates if you view it objectively probably is rory stewart but once again he shot himself in the foot yesterday by cheney and his mind within

within the space of an hour so i think i have to stick to my guns in terms of what i said yesterday i think that he's a he's a cagey operator really i think i think morris is flawed and that will emerge. but they will after up a bit i'm sure there are plenty more opportunities in the future francesco to speak francesco resume professor of european law at edge hill university in the u.k. pleasure renee. in other news nearly 250 survivors and relatives of the victims of the grunfeld tower tragedy in london assuming 3 u.s. firms the may be 2 rules used on the block of flats claimed they facilitated the spread of the devastating fire in 2017 some of the materials bound for use on the u.s. skyscrapers probably got his ations 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

hong kong affairs and in the internal affairs of china the standoff here and on hong is on going after what is the protest on your realm. one of the hearing over the legislation has been postponed until further notice eventual of steps us for our tea. almost 80000 people have signed a petition that demands italy drop criminal proceedings against german boat captain the 35 year old skipper of a rescue ships accused of abetting illegal immigration after she personally assisted in the rescue of more than a 1000 migrants now they were at risk of drowning in unsafe says they're tempted to cross the mediterranean to reach europe refinishing reports. this is the case of peer clem a german boat captain and hero to some criminal to others she was at the helm of the event of boat in august 2017 when it entered the port of lumpy do was it located on an island between malta and the coast of tunisia the rescue vessel was

detained and appears a lawyer now says she may face up to 20 years in prison and horrendous fines but no matter what appears stance is unwavering get out food have witness to what women and children have to face if they are denied safe travel ignore your votes if european warships and expel in libyan militias people who shelter refugees from unsuitable overcrowded scraps and beat them up sometimes too late italian investigators have accused her crew of colluding with smugglers with photos leaked to the media alleged in the boat returning to libya's coast on purpose to be used again by smugglers a date hasn't been set yet for with klemp has dubbed her show trial and many agree tens of thousands of people are back in her in a petition calling for italy to drop the charges this however falls under matteo salvini is crackdown they tell an interior minister and deputy prime minister is

known for his open and strong until migrant views to stop rescue ships that are carrying migrants from docking on it telling shores and allowing refugees to disembark it's what he's been after since his appointment last year and he has supporters too it's not as though the italians are to do with our probable cause there is much truth reporting that every year of investigation preceded the arrest including videos witness statements don't develop the picture mrs rescuing people from drowning is b.s. propaganda rescue them and take them to germany it is quite convenient to rescue people and leave them initially greece cetera we have enough migrants. we do not want any more sheen able the trafficking of people that's illegal she's responsible for the so-called refugee crisis there is a clear split within the e.u. over how to tackle the migrant crisis and while they see it undecided on whether to assist or hinder the flow of migrants into europe captain pierre clem could be

losing her battle at sea and on. rafer nationality reporting from germany. although the italian authorities say that their anti migrant policy is a success rights organization say lives are still being put at risk but imagine now you since the start of the year there have been around 2000 rivals by street using small boats sailing boats rowing boats whatever they have to cross the mediterranean that's compared to 14000 last year. by guns have no say in how or when to leave the traffickers make the decision for them they couldn't care less if the people arrive dead or alive if we do not intervene soon it will be a sea of blood the reason why all dissent in this because there is no agreement to that european level for the resettlement of the asylum seekers and therefore easily going to become just the container of all asylum seekers winning for.

the resettlement in other european countries the 1st thing is to return the european level and the stablish clear rules that apply to all member states so the country of 1st arrival we could say it doesn't become an old saw and only the only one to receive these people so this this food creates a flow there should be a coordinated approach. but at the moment to europe is not capable of device in any kind of solution. communities hit out at the vatican for its latest guidance the questions the existing principles of gender identity papers are meant to be a bid to tackle what the catholic institution calls an educational crisis on the saskia taylor delves into the reason for the sudden outrage over rhetoric the vatican has been insisting on for so long. now he'd be forgiven for thinking the

catholic church doesn't really know what turns the public on and he. you'd be right in fact it's just dealt a mosque a class and turning people off the vatican has released a paper which says there are only 2 genders male and female and it's called man and female he created them just so that was no misunderstanding if we wish to take an approach to the question of gender theory that is based on the path of dialogue is vital to bear in mind the distinction between the ideology of gender on the one hand and the whole field of research on gender that the human sciences of one's taken on the other so according to the catholics men are men and women are women and anyone who sees themselves otherwise is provocative and poses a threat to the institution of marriage and seeks to overthrow nature itself unsurprisingly it's head up you know note amongst those who are outraged to find that anything you want gender theory other than that of course exists by refusing

to engage in dialogue with people about their lived experiences or so from a standing in faith the vatican remains in the dark ages for most of your false teaching the law is a myth rumor unfolds so the paper is not popular partly because it sounds like it's from the time before christ which it is it's filled with quotes from the bible after all and because it was released during pride month the 30 days every year the world celebrates the l g b t community quit but wait no where in the paper does it say being gay is sinful and in fact it condemns any discrimination and violence against people the number of men and women who have deep seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible they must be accepted with respect compassion and sensitivity to resign often just destroy a nation in their regard should be avoided now it's surely not news to outrage friends that the church struggles with accepting homosexuality transgenderism and when they do throw in that 2 pennies worth met the backlash is huge as one bishop

in rhode island learned when he decided his view on pride month. a reminder that catholics should not support or attend q pride month of vance held in june they promote a culture and encourages that are contrary to catholic faith and morals. it seems the people who replied must have left the christian values of kindness out the door we woke up this morning and we saw the bishop tweet and we were honestly flabbergasted he is like the don't trump of the catholic church goes on twitter and spews out hate my catholic children will be attending pride events as this. guy always taught me what would jesus do yeah i know jesus would be attending that pride parade with her also with pride and i also know that god is love and jesus is love and love is love the bishop apologized and decided to spread the love but

the question begging to be asked is why the surprise kids the church isn't known for being big on reform is it really shocking it's not breaking it's happened it's a pun intended. british internal security service m i 5 is under fire for illegally holding onto bulk data collected on the citizens situation came to light during a case brought by the civil rights group of liberty. m i 5 have been holding onto peoples day time ordinary people's date on your dates on my data illegally for many years not only that they've been trying to keep the really serious errors secret secret from the security services watch dog who's supposed to know about them secret from the home office secret from the prime minister and secrets from the public. during the trial of the most m.r. 5 was already aware 3 years ago has a story. where there might not be

a plaque on the door but even google maps will tell you that that building over there is m i 5 britain's domestic intelligence agency and even though its job is to root out the bad guys the agency itself has been accused of extraordinary and persistent illegality in a high court case the case against m i 5 now relates back to a law that was passed in the u.k. in 2016 the investigatory powers act back then the new legislation was sold as something that would create transparency in the wake of the snowden scandal which had revealed that the u.s. and its allies including the u.k. had been collecting vast troops of public data but the investigatory powers act quickly became dubbed the snoopers charter privacy campaigners claim it simply legalized the practices that snowden had exposed and introduced intrusive new

powers. there is however a government watchdog that's meant to oversee the u.k.'s sweeping surveillance laws and according to documents revealed in court that watchdog the u.k.'s investigative powers commissioner has delivered a highly critical assessment of m i 5 in particular over m i 5 storage of hacked public data in one letter presented in court m i 5 had knowledge that possible data collected by m i 5 was being stored in ungoverned spaces there is a high likelihood of material being discovered when it should have been deleted in a disclosure exercise leading to substantial legal or oversight failure back in may britain's home secretary sajid javid revealed that compliance risks had been identified with how and why fide handled data the report of the investigatory

powers commissioner's office into these risks concluded that they were serious and required immediate mitigation the commission also expressed concern that m i 5 should have reported the compliance risks to him sooner the court case which is ongoing also revealed that the government watchdog would be subjecting m i 5 to far greater scrutiny from now on comparing it to a school being placed on special measures which is the government's equivalent of the naughty step. and staying with our tail but that was the that. on.

the one. that wasn't will not be. here. we are in 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 there's 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 pine tree.

you were going on the ground 2 years often near liberalism ghibli caused an inferno that killed 72 innocent people today almost 25000 homes and u.k. buildings clad in the same flammable material 8400 of those in the social housing sector and a further 15 percent of austerity cuts have impacted the fire services that saved lives that night no one who made the decisions that caused the fire that night has been arrested coming up in today's grunfeld anniversary special the rule of law all the rule of money ahead of the 2nd anniversary of the great survivor jo delaney questions why campaigners are being imprisoned while those responsible for the tragedy walk free to ask pat mason the labor leader of granite falls local council the.
