has accused iran of attacking 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman and sent missile destroyers to the area the un security council is just how did emergency session on the incident and there was an angry exchange between the u.s. and iranian envoys. the united states assesses that iran is responsible for these attacks iran categorically rejects the u.s. unfounded claim with regard to the 13th of june all tank incidents and condemns it in the strongest possible terms. i talked to the tucson because quote fire the u.s. secretary of state might pump a it was quick to point the finger at a wrong headed molten has the south 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 these

unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to international peace and security a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation and an acceptable campaign of escalating tension by iran now to 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 i was 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 owes an announcement. please stay on the list for that views on what may have happened to the oil. one should turn with mr pomp arrow and mr bolton are 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 tankers was supposedly torpedoed. the usa is not providing any evidence that a lot of the problems for the medicals of the ardmore going getting kind of the

signals the one expecting from iran are nonetheless seems that's going to fly out of your. the i think one of the options are the things i have been left with the well been able to use a proxy is likely will are like move to use religion learned and then they will use ever really of possible bastard or whereby they can disrupt the crude oil from the go for fremont usa once to remove the current government in tehran midst of bolton has clearly been rubbing his hands with glee over the last decade when he wasn't a security advisor that he wants removal of the regime in tehran mr pompeo has also many times said that there he wants the government in tehran to not be day in power in america or are trying to clear

a tradition we are is the poorest who actually come to going to go shooting people only stones and condition and i think that is unlikely to happen given the fact that you simply by the japanese are. probably stroke that did not deliver the kind of desires that the americans were expecting because they are has not responded positively to the japanese prime minister there are other interested parties who could very easy. really being walled in this particular act which took place in the last 24 hours could be so dear arabia could be washington it says with its fleet in the gulf region the town has had. this for a little while so many proxies they have all that. they have used. the u.k. home secretary has hunted a u.s. extradition request for julian assange is to the courts which will now consider the

wiki leaks founder speight hearing is scheduled for friday starting at woodstock he reports from london. well it's a dark day for deer in assad and his supporters as the u.k.'s home secretary sajid javid has just signed an order paving the way for genocide to be extradited to the united states now he himself said that he was pleased that you're in a scientist 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 you 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 courts 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 in days says that you're innocent will not receive a fair trial i don't 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. it's 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 it was a tame by artie's video agency wrapped. and as you can see he looks somewhat i'm a citizen rather skeletal in the belmarsh prison now last month your innocence was

actually moved to the medical ward and to his father this week said that you're innocent as recovering from a dramatic weight loss during his time in the belmarsh prison and indeed the ecuadorian embassy of course stereosonic 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 and confinement that well it isn't just the united states that want your innocence 1 or also hearing that swedish prosecutors want you in a silent for sexual assault allegations made against him something that your innocence he himself then at me denies he also believes it's a pretext to then extradite him to the united states international lawyer duckling douglas mcnabb says that is an imbalance in the extradition treaty between washington and london. i think that any extradition counsel whether.

it's for the for the crown or for the defense is going to understand as in many other extradition proceedings particularly one that's oprah but high profile like mr sword that politics is going to come into play i think it's shiny i don't think that it should come into play in any extradition proceeding i think that an extradition hearing should be based solely in the in the resulting decision either for or against extradition should be based solely on the law but i also believe that that's a naive approach and i do think the politics we factory post $911.00. the u.s. and u.k. . entered into an extradition treaty that provides for a loan or in this. standard of proof that the us cast a ballot to have someone extradited so it's much easier for the us to have one

extradited from the u.k. to the us than the other way around and i'm not so merry or with any other extradition treaty that the us. where that door standard where that even standard is between the 2 bilateral states s. president of the us treaty. human rights watch says a british government report whitewashes saudi arabia's role in yemen's humanitarian crisis the british foreign office report states that the conflict in yemen has had a devastating impact on people's lives but only mention saudi arabia one of the sides in the war in connection with the alleged use of secret prisons. and missed 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 adds that we are exactions in yemen could

amount to war crimes and accuses the u.k. of turning a blind eye the reports most striking witness 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 may be work rhymes. since 2015 britain has sold 4700000000 pounds worth of weapons to riyadh making it one of the biggest exporters of alms to the kingdom the issue of weapons exports to the saudis has sparked hatred exchanges in the u.k. parliament we requested comment from the british foreign office although i say fall we have not had ever sponsor the satellite coalition began its bombing campaign against the rebels in yemen which riyadh sees a terrorist spike in 2015 saudi arabia and sr is doing all it can to reduce

civilian casualties the un has described the situation the country is the worst among that humanitarian crisis on earth a warning you might find some of the following images of setting. the bomb as a killing the cholera epidemic number of people who are in hunger because of a block a port of data etc the foreign office is trying to obfuscate or hide from the british people. that there was a order in the illegal action of saudi arabia. 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 target these are to look to the dictatorial monarchical governments in order to secure natural gas resources and the people of yemen fighting for their liberation. to that foreign policy go and. uniformed euro skeptic bloc opposes the extension of onto russia sanctions story and more after a break. 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.

is an officer. told to get up off the ground after begin to pay down. democrats on the sounds of. a grown man like misleading essentially. trying. to push the away from the officer. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then when it happened on treece one as i didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the answers back here they're try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer is gonna need to turn tree.

welcome back euro skeptic parties in the european parliament have formed a new alliance called identity and democracy they'll be the 5th largest group in the parliament with around 10 percent of seats they've also now announced they intend to oppose the extension of russian sanctions. as 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 blocs 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 chorus 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 suspect the actions of russia we could 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. we were 1st to apply after the you post certain restrictions on us then your lies will take 73 seats in this 751 seat european parliament 10 percent compared to 5 percent in the last previous

significant change 8 make said this piece largest alliance in the parliamentary which makes the chances are very high that the party will be successful in pushing forward its policy and we indeed are going to see the taint is penned talked about there are many alliance of partners that's what the major issues so in fact we have about 25 to 30 percent of your 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. to become more you accept. elite brussels those laws contrary to the growing the reality of the member states the 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 real issue on the table in brussels and all of the federal states and germany that i don't this nation states and europe the u.s. terror politicians come and pressure. us national security adviser john bolton says reports of disagreements between donald trump and his top aides are part of a disinflation campaign by the likes of russia china and iran he also branded american journalists who write such reports sister now professor of these 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 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. not looking at all to get involved in venezuela where 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 don't use 3 times due to how unbelievable it is that the russians in other bad guys spread this information about a divided opinions of u.s. president and his closest aides seriously when the president and his inner circle have 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 things but rex to listen didn't have the mental capacity needed he was dumb as a rock and i couldn't get rid of him fast enough he was lazy is how we already know a lot about the discord ready in the trumpet ministration from former trump ministration officials i mean let's face it what could north korea do to sow discord in the us what could be his way all of you it's doesn't make any sense the white house does not 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 within the wife of course the message being that you know john bolton is looking for a pretext to go to war somewhere and he's a very devious man he likes to write. shanghai

cooperation organization has gathered for a summit of the capital bishkek in one can he became the leader of pakistan last year with attendant plans to meet with some of his counterparts including latin appear to apprise his departure he gave his 1st interview to the russian media since he became president in 20. develop cooperation with russia. between our defense forces there has always been meeting i think our defense personnel have already met and so. yes we hope to deepen our converse. contacts. last of the fifty's sixty's seventy's was spent in the cold war reason we're india was close to the soviet union and pakistan was close to the united states so we were in different camps. things have changed india is also friendly with the united states and pakistan 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 our contacts with russia and they're developing all the time for us to be altered to ensure within their degrees or 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 prove what trade russia is. the energy surplus country a pakistani 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 trade delegations will soon go to russia we

will invite the russian trade delegations to. give opportunities to invest in pakistan so it is again for the headlines at the top of their. 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 and 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. she'll welcome you. i'm not a real world will you know but you know if in your ocean cruise it. was a march. toward was to be with the one that. you would usually eat but i'm still. playing. us. what i wanted something. new for the church. with the idea of the local which is based on

what. you all are one would do it means is there's a good digital shipped out i would have looked this up which. is. why. a paradise with some ground turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritant 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 that 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 it because the people have less political power. impeachment action or inaction and a trump biden tit for tat on this edition of politics. welcome to politicking i'm matthew cook in for larry king coming up later in the program democratic divisions between the progressive and establishment wings is the party going to stick together or split apart in 2020 that's later but 1st even though 24 declared candidates are chasing the democratic nomination for the white house this week former vice president joe biden stole the headlines by going directly at donald trump during a campaign speech in iowa and president trump fired back with a string of insults for biden from the white house lawn is this tactic in

a payoff for the biden campaign or will mr trump's harsh talk and unfounded questions about biden's health blunt the former veep's front runner status let's begin there with our lead off panel line he chen joins us from mountain view california research fellow at the hoover institution he served in the george w. bush administration and was an adviser to mark rubio's and mitt romney's presidential campaigns and in los and. lis john i do roll award winning host of the young turks in the damage report on the young turks network welcome to the program guys thank you thank you so let's talk about joe biden he's been the target of trump's barbs he's countered declaring that the president is an existential threat to the united states what's your reaction lundy. well let's just get to the raw politics of it when you're in a democratic primary that's got 24 candidates anything that gives a candidate the opportunity to stand out i think is a positive one remember these candidates are fighting over a relatively narrow sliver of turf whether ideologically or from

a policy perspective so i think for vice president biden being attacked by the president directly allows him to continue to make the claim that he is the one candidate who the president is most concerned about who's on the top of the president's mind who is in a position to contest the president directly in a general election i think that all of this attention being paid to the vice president could only be a good thing for him at this stage of the primary john. i'm not necessarily convinced that that's why trump is attacking him it's a perfectly plausible hypothesis that this point but donald trump is an immature child and i think that biden currently leading in the primary is reason enough for trump to go after him let alone the fact that biden has been bringing up trump more than many of the other candidates in the primary right now i think that biden's i guess a barbs or attacks against trump so far have been fired and i think that you have to tread a very careful line at this point the primary where you have to be seen to be able to defend yourself against donald trump when he does go after you while also recognize.
