i know my no. the u.s. secretary of state directly accuses of brown of being responsible for. the stabilizing the situation in the middle east. the case home secretary hands a u.s. extradition request for julian a song to the courts meaning the whistleblowers fate could be decided at the hearing on friday. and the new alliance of euro skeptic parties in the european parliament of announce that they oppose the extension of the sanctions.

ok it is good to have you with us thanks for joining this is r.t. international. said that washington believes iran was behind the attack on 2 because in the gulf of oman during a press briefing he called around a threat to international peace and security and has details. well the u.s. secretary of state is placing blame for the incident regarding to oil tankers he says that the islamic republic of iran is responsible and that that is the position of the united states this is what we heard earlier from mike pompei oh it is the assessment of the united states government that the islamic republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of amman today these unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to international peace and security a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation and an unacceptable campaign of escalating tension by iran now 2 oil tankers were involved along with $44.00

crew members that were on board those oil tankers the incident took place near the strait of hormuz now at this point we're hearing that one of the vessels of the front all tear was described as quote on fire and adrift and we have photos that have been appearing on social media of the flaming vessel the burning ship now front line which is the oil tanker company that owns these oil tankers it has confirmed to russian media that there was no oil spill caused by the flames now furthermore we understand that there were actually 11 russians on board of the ship and that the ship the oil tankers were sailing under the flag of the pan of panama and the marshall islands now the u.s. navy reported 2 distress signals in the morning as this was taking place iranian media is reporting that it was an iranian vessel that was 1st on the scene and that

has essentially reached the scene and rescued all 44 of the crew members who were involved in the incident they are now getting medical treatment in iran now we also understand that some media is reporting that a tarp yto was responsible for hitting the oil tankers whereas other. media is saying that this was a mining incident that the vessels hit a mine now folks will recall that back in may there were 4 oil tankers in the united arab emirates that were hit and that unnamed state actors were blamed for it after investigation we now see washington blaming iran for this incident that just took place and we understand that a u.n. security council meeting is scheduled for later today to discuss the incident so all eyes will be on the u.n. security council as they begin the meeting and we now have my pompei are saying that iran is to blame for the incident people will be wondering looking for more

information a lot of quick developments here a lot of nervousness in the international community in response not just to this incident but in response to pompei i was announcement. we asked 2 middle east analysts for their views on what may have happened to the oil tank is washington with mr pomp and mr bolton really trying to. escalate the situation so that they have an opportunity and an excuse to attack iran and also in the current situation when these 2 time. was supposedly told paedo. us he's not providing any evidence that part of the problems for the americans are getting going to signals what expecting bromine on numberless. that going to do you. want to.

have been. well been able to use the proxies like. it is young and they will use every. 3rd or it by or they can disrupt the crude oil to go for the usa ones to remove the. and government in tehran mr bolton has clearly been rubbing his hands with glee over the last decade when he wasn't security adviser that he once removed all of the regime in tehran mr pompeo has also many times said that they he wants the government in tehran to not be day in power americans are trying to create a situation where iran is are forced to actually come we're going to push it into but only storms and condition and i think that is unlike can do happen given the fact that you simply by the japanese. or bing stroke that did not deliver the

kind of deserves that the americans were expecting because don has not responded positively to the japanese prime minister there are other interested parties who could very easily been walled in this particular act which took place in the last 24 hours could be saudi arabia could be washington itself with this fleet in the gulf region iran has had its disposal or so many proxies there are all of the you have they have used them is. the case home secretaries handed us extradition requests for julian the songs to the courts which will now consider the whistleblowers fate hearing into the matter should jewel for friday's show idea edwards dashti reports from london. well it's a dark day for drew innocent and his supporters as the u.k.'s home secretary sajid

javid has just signed an order paving the way for dear innocents to be extradited to the united states now he himself said that he was pleased that you're innocent just behind bars and that justice will prevail in this procedure you're very pleased that the police were finally able to apprehend him and now he's right behind bars because he broke you cade law i want to see justice done at all times and we've got a legitimate extradition request so i've signed it but the final decision is now with the court well it must be noted that the final decision is for the courts and the courts alone of course the united states does want your innocence for 17 indictments under the espionage act for publishing and delivering classified communications and documents all related to the iraq war and the war in afghanistan but also conspiring and even indeed hacking government computers and publishing these secret documents now the platform of which was used to do this is wiki leaks

and the editor in chief and day says that you're innocent will not 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 welcome to the scientist serving a 50 week sentence in the u.k. as belmarsh prison that's a high security prison here in the u.k. and that was for skipping bareback and 2012 now this is a video filmed inside the belmarsh prison by an inmate and it was a tame by artie's video agency ruptly and as you can see he looks somewhat i'm a c 8 and rather skeletal there in the belmarsh prison now last month genocide 1 was actually moved to the medical ward there and his father earlier this week said that you're innocent is recovering from a dramatic weight loss during his time. i'm in the belmarsh prison and indeed the

ecuadorian embassy of course tears aren't it was thrown back into the public eye back in april where he was forcibly removed by british police from the london's ecuadorian embassy where he was actually seeking political asylum and he was holed up there for almost 2 and a half 1000 days which is the sum of almost 7 years in confinement when it isn't just the united states that want your innocence we're also hearing that swedish prosecutors want your innocent for sexual assault allegations made against him something that your innocence he himself then it needed nice you also believe it's a pretext to then extradite him to the united states. international lawyer douglas mcnabb says there's a real imbalance in the extradition treaty between washington and london. i think that any extradition counsel whether. for the for the crown or for the defense is going to understand as in many other extradition proceedings particularly one

that's high profile like mr sawyer and that politics this point deploy i think it's shiny i don't think that it should look to me to apply in any expert issue personally i think that an extradition hearing should be based solely and the resulting decision for or against extradition should be based solely on the law but i also believe that that's in my approach and i do think that politics will factory post 911. u.s. and u.k. . entered into an expert titian treaty that provides for a lower. standard of proof that the us passed a my to have someone extradited so it's much easier for the u.s. to have one extradited from the u.k. to the u.s. than the other way around and i'm not familiar with any other extradition treaty

that the u.s. house where that floor standard where that even standard is between the 2 bilateral states as president of the u.s. treaty. human rights watch says a british government report whitewashes sonti arabia's role in yemen's humanitarian crisis the british foreign office report states the conflict in yemen has had a devastating impact on people's lives but don't mention saudi arabia one of the sites in the war in connection with alleged use of secret prisons. amnesty international alleged the use of secret prisons in areas. under the saudi led coalition's control there was no reliable process for inquiry into detainees held at these facilities human rights watch chance that riyadh's actions in yemen could amount to war crimes and accuses the u.k. of turning a blind eye. the reports most striking weakness is on the yemen while acknowledging

the many civilians killed in the conflict it ignores the saudi led coalition's responsibility indiscriminate saudi led coalition air strikes in yemen have hit hospitals funerals weddings markets civilian homes and even a school bus killing and wounding thousands many of these attacks maybe work crimes . says 2015 britain sold 4700000000 pounds worth of weapons to riyadh making it one of the biggest exporters of arms to the kingdom the issue of weapons exports to the saudis is sparked heated exchanges in the u.k. parliament we have requested comment from the british foreign office we await the response the saturday coalition began its bombing campaign against who see rebels in yemen who riyadh see as terrorists by can 2015 saudi arabia insists it's doing all it can to reduce civilian casualties but the un has described the situation in the country as the worst moment humanitarian crisis on the planet warning you may

find some of the following images upsetting. the bombings are killing the cholera epidemic the number of people who are in hunger because of the blockade. data etc a foreign office is trying to obfuscate or hide from the british people the fact that they are supporting the illegal action saudi arabia and its allies in its war on the people of yemen the united kingdom just like the united states has strategic

interest in the region they want to protect these unelected dictatorial monarchical governments in order to secure natural gas resources and the people of yemen fighting for their liberation. to their foreign policy go. and uniformed here a skeptic bloc opposes the extension of anti russia sanctions are bringing that story and others after the break. he'll welcome you. normal guy called. a member of real world will know well

you know just when you watch him cruising. the point. was to give. you news new york city for. you to surround us. most wanted something. for the rich. and the local police which is based on. your own work along with your leanings lead there's a chance to start to talk a little you look there's a. little more. careful.

welcome back to new alliance if you're a skeptic parties in the european parliament to come together to form a blog called identity and democracy will be the 5th largest group in the parliament with around 10 percent of seats they've also now announced that they intend to oppose the extension of russia sanctions or if an option has the story. we have been hearing about the nationalist alliance in the european parliament for quite some time already and on thursday in brussels the leader of france's national rally magnet then announced that officially saying it is a drastic change to the political chess board of the european union identity and democracy or shortly aidid that's the blocks name will unite the right wing parties from 9 european countries common direction common goal to take power from brussels and give it to the country members capitals for that very reason they are often

referred to in the media as you are skeptics shortly after the new born party presentation its core chairman who is also known here in germany as the federal spokesperson for the alternative for germany a right wing party presented one of the features of the party's course that is definitely too different from the european union sanctions against russia make no sense let's take a listen we oppose the extension of sanctions they did not fix the actions of russia we can extend them for another 10 years it will not change anything it came less than a week after the russian president vladimir putin said that russia is dreaded to move towards the european union but the you should take the 1st step if the use policy towards russia changes will not only welcome it will take reciprocal steps this also applies to the countries sanctions we were 1st to apply after the certain restrictions on us then you alliance will take 73 seats in this

751 seat european parliament 10 percent compared to 5 percent in the last previous significant change makes it to feast largest alliance in the palm and which makes the chances a very high that the party will be successful in pushing forward its policy and we indeed are going to see the changes then talked about there are many lawyers of. all the major issues. in the. we have about 25 to 30 percent of us skeptic parties and only the core is 10 percent or fraction and we had a lot of allies with whom we cooperate so yes we are stronger to see people see what the e.u. brings all over all over europe. bring them to become more u.s. so we have a elite of brussels that has lost context to the growing the reality of the member states. people want to get control back they want to serve govern their countries

and those same actions are not very popular among the people in europe they want to extend that they want partnership with russia instead of a new cool war and as long as the ring issue on the table in brussels and all of the federal states germany of that i don't their nation states and europe just haven't politicians come and put pressure on. us national security advisor john bolton says reports of disagreements between donald trump and his top aides are part of this information campaign by the likes of russia china and iran he also branded american journalists who write such reports a stenographer of things regimes. north korea iran. venezuela russia and china pride too so information about the administration and to say that the president his advisors are divided and

things like that the stenographers of these regimes in the american press immediately pick it up. come on mr bolton in case you've been living under a rock the past few years u.s. president donald trump doesn't get along too well with the rest of capitol hill close to 30 of his team members have either resigned or were fired and since he got into office his term has been haunted by a cascade of information leaks by insiders saboteurs and trump hasn't always been on the same page with the rest of the administration. you think north korea remains a nuclear threat yes but the president said he doesn't it's not what he said i mean i know i know personally we did it and there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. i had a very good talk with president putin is. that looking at all to get involved in venezuela he was apparently ready to leave after the airport but the russians talked him out of that is that right that's right now it could be because the trump

isn't a tory asli divisive figure by nature could be because he flip flops so much that he's policy u. turns were created into actual flipflops well you know he's sometimes difficult to keep up with and you know after all he doesn't have to be a bad thing a clash of ideas challenging each other on policies is synonymous with democracy isn't it i really read a news 3 times due to how unbelievable it is that the russians in other bad guys spread this information about to divided opinions of the u.s. president and his closest aides seriously when the president and his inner circle had different opinions it is a sign of the democratic process in the country doesn't washington defend this value with such zeal so yeah it could be a good thing except it probably stops being one when things move from the realm of professional to personal to go to work for

a man who. is pretty on discipline and doesn't doesn't like to read doesn't read briefly. reports doesn't doesn't like to get into the details of a lot of bricks to listen didn't have the mental capacity needed he was dumb as a rock and they couldn't get rid of him fast enough he was lazy is how we already know a lot about the discord in the tribal ministration from former tribe ministration officials i mean let's face it what did north korea did to sow discord in the us what could be his way with you it doesn't make any sense the white house does now want to appear to be fragile they're now facing a reelection very soon in 2020 and boldness trying to help trump cover is behind by claiming others are responsible for discord and not those with and why of course the message being that you know john bolton's looking for pretext to go to war somewhere he's a very devious man he likes to write. the shanghai

cooperation organization is gathered for a summit in the capital bishkek in rome can he became leader of pakistan last year will attend plans to meet with his counterparts including vladimir putin prior to his departure he gave his 1st interview to the russian media since coming to power in 28. you have. developed cooperation with russia. between our defense forces there has always been meeting i think our defense personnel have already met and so yes we ought to deepen our converse. contacts. most of the fifty's sixty's seventy's was spent in the cold war the reason we're india was close to the soviet union and biased on was close to the united states so we were in different camps.

things have changed india is also friendly with the united states and biased and is also friendly with the u.s. so we no longer have the cold war situation and so it's refreshing that we have developed in our contacts with russia and they're developing all the time 1st of all that tension with india decreases so we do not have to buy arms because we want to spend money on or no human development but yes we are looking for. exchanges we develop more gaunt we improve our trade russia is. energy surplus country apologist than has shortages and energy and so we hope to talk on those areas we already are. but also apart from defense we want to also improve our trade in other areas with russia we hope our 2 delegations will soon go to russia we will invite the russian trade

delegations. give them opportunities to invest and by gets done. stay with also you'll be back at the top of the hour with updates see the. same wrong role just don't all. get to shape out. come out again and again because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

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. so you say that brings this to the end of the series if we could just let josie marino walk away and say we decided to treat up stuck close to a very special farewell party and by god as. we

walk along an interesting path of the day but this time to go back to the punchline and thanks for putting one sister to the body. with a red carpet the only thing that i didn't enjoy was my dancing. in moscow my dancing. on ice. that. made it. well thankfully we nailed it literally there we go. max kaiser this is the report as predicted on this show many times yes quantitative

easing for q.e. 4 is now well under way can't taper a ponzi scheme no economics matters only money printing and stock manipulation j. j. clayton master manipulator shame on you yes state clay in the eyes of the chairman of the f.c.c. and jay powell is the head of the federal reserve bank and he recently said we should get rid of this word unconventional when relating to all the crazy monetary policy tools he's deploying and of course i just want to read quickly these headlines from dow jones market watch just say you can see the environment in which we're going to cover the headlines u.s. economy gains just $75000.00 jobs a may as wage growth flashes a warning signal with 3.6 percent unemployment but one 3rd of americans say they need a side gig to pay expenses and then investors are so bearish on stocks it's about

time to get bullish says bank of america merrill lynch which is quite odd because of course stock markets are far higher than they were and the lead up to the 20072008 crash and as you point out there is t.j. there's jay clayton jay powell jay powell over the fed but clayton one on a mainstream media recently and claimed that you can't have a b. big coin e.t.f. because you have to solve the manipulation problem jay claim to over at the f.c.c. oversees the the greatest crime spree and market manipulation spree ever in the history of the world he's a racketeer he's basically the john gotti of manipulation and he should be in jail and and punished. severely for everything that they said the l. lot of banks pay constant fines there was just a fine this week paid my $91000000.00 by the forex market riggers so rigging is part of the economy and that's part of the financial market so without broad there

would be no stock market is that you can't seize a fish in a fish bowl yes so surrounded by for you can see the fraud bitcoin will get rid of jay clayton and the f.c.c. thank god because they're horrible and yeah you know they melt up in the stock market is well underway to say that stocks are some people are bearish on stocks this is new speak from 1904 you can't have people are bearish on stocks while there it's hitting new all time highs and trading adjusted for stock buybacks it's never traded at a higher price earnings multiple in history not even in $1029.00 or stocks trading at this high of a price earnings multiple and they are right now adjusted for jay the illegal stock buybacks there is actually an e.t.f. which is just launching for a trade war situation trade war e.c.f. so you can bet on that but that relates to this 1st headline here druckenmiller dumps all his stocks piles into treasuries expecting rates to hit 0 this is standard meller.
