so. you could call the rules wiki leaks co-founder julian assange will not face his u.s. extradition hearing until next year victims in america he could face up to 175 years in prison. through one of the all time is damaged in a suspected attack in the gulf of oman so they were hit by a flying projectile apparently contradicting u.s. claims that around planted a mine on the fence. around hit back at the american allegation accusing the u.s. of resorting to sabotage bogus. national advertising watchdog bans on the most gender stereotypes. 29 percent of british women suffer the most feminist feminists have huge influence and lots of women who want

to see equality and justice don't call themselves feminists i've got nothing to with them it isn't. even midnight here in moscow thanks for joining us on r.t. international. co-founder may be facing more than a century and a half behind bars in the u.s. but he won't find out whether that will happen until at least next february this is after an extradition hearing in the u.k. was postponed until that is shoddy edward stashed it with more. but every day it was crunch time for you in the sun just this extradition request was being heard here at westminster magistrate's court though he was given a glimmer of hope as he will not face a full extradition until february of next year and 2020 it's understood that a 5 day hearing will take place at a later date all. to february the 24th which his lawyers have agreed to the

timetable now of course it to follow and did yesterday the u.k.'s home secretary such as signing that crucial order that paves the way for this edition of procedure now he believes that this was the skewing the right course of justice but protest as an activist outside westminster much to say school think that this is not the course of justice in fact completely goes against justice and simply they believe that this is the gang's freedom of expression uprising that there are more journalists here complaining because obviously investigative journalism is under now we should be released and i think this know enough people will realise this is such an attack i'm freezing the race and also just over everything for the right of us to know what's going on the things that he exposed the press the american moon mission that's what we should be checking in for out so well today might be slightly more symbolic in terms of laying out the procedures and the very next step it does actually set the ball rolling towards extradition to the united states for

2 in the sun we know in the united states they've been talked to on to 17 counts under the espionage act for. classified documents related to the iraq war on the war in afghanistan but also one of conspiracy to hack a government computer to actually make these secret classified documents while some say his crimes his so-called alleged crimes awful whistle blowing and indeed producing enough still security risk and threat many say that he will not face a fair trial in the united states and that's an opinion that's been held also by the wiki leaks editor in chief i don't believe that we are going to win this with legal argument there is no chance that 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 opposed to an assault just. back into the public eye i live this year

in april when he was pulled out of the lodge and ecuadorian embassy by british police he was there for a long amount of time in fact 2 and a half 1000 days which is the sum amount of 7 years in that confinement he was of course seeking political asylum he then moved to belmarsh prison where he was serving out his 50 week sentence for skipping fell in 20 trials now this is actually a video filmed inside that belmarsh prison that was obtained by r.t. roughly which is the video agency and in this footage you can see if you're in a social thing someone may see it didn't get it till it's known that he's lost a dramatic amount of weight loss something that his father has voiced concerns of earlier this week and we know that he was also sent to the medical board in prison there but on top of all of this it's not just the united states wants to decide he's also want to fight swedish prosecutors for allegations of sexual assault something of course good asuncion self-image lead to noise and he also believes

it's a pretext to extradite him to the united states earlier i was doing fine award winning australian journalist john pilger who was also in the court room behind me when that ruling was indeed and now says he told me that this is an incredibly comfortable moment for freedom of expression universally and we have a direct impact on journalists while 5 charges will be made up the charges are contrary to the 1st available to the us constitution. what they call down which is that he is a publisher. released information which he has a right to do under the u.s. constitution the u.s. wants to see itself as a great fashion. for free speech in which when it a rest of the so much why so many americans. nervous about it. because it applies to them to you. close to very close to everybody who is

a journalist who is what they call the 1st to get it. it means that journalists when there are almost certainly be intimidated from during their job. we spoke to tracy versus the duchess of both force and friend richard in the silence she believes that he might not get a fair trial if extradited to the states. june in a sign she's not an american he goes to the americans he won't be covered by free speech 1st amendment of their constitution so it's very dangerous for everybody who in any way is working towards revealing the truth whether you are a journalist or a human rights sex but or an environmentalist and any time that you criticize the american government it's secret service in its military you could be literally extradited by the british government why can't we stand up on our own

2 feet and say no he's a hero he has allowed us to have information which is precious we need to know if i government is committing crimes in more we need to know if it's true committing crimes in the democratic process. this man is a beacon of hope for free speech. among julian assange just supporters is lorie love love is a well known british hacker charged he was charged by u.s. authorities for stealing classified data from government agencies such as nasa and the army in 2018 he won a landmark appeal after a british judge ruled against love's extradition to the u.s. citing fears he'd commit suicide in the custody of american or thirties now he's speaking out in support of a sanch. fighting we will succeed again we'll bring it. up yet i would say. it's none of us should be able to live with the tray.

of that courage. that we would have betrayed journalism. with these things. if you could bring. washington's claim that the round was responsible for attacking 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman has had doubt cast on it earlier the u.s. had presented a video claiming to show iranians removing an unexploded mine from one of the vessels but the tankers owner says that his crew reported the boat being hit by flying projectiles. more than. the crew see they were headed by a flying object we don't think it could have been a bomb attached to them but otoh guards were more as mentioned the u.s. military's central command claims that this video shows iran's responsibility the u.k. foreign office also confirmed u.s. accusations saying the revolutionary guard corps should be held accountable iran's

leader hassan rouhani has accused the u.s. of the stabilizing peace and security in the middle east but america's 60 statement from post said that no one else in the region had the capacity to carry out such an attack. islamic republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. over the last 2 years the u.s. has been implementing an aggressive approach violating international law and using its financial and military clout this poses a serious threat to the region into global security. event in foreign ministers branded the claim his country was behind the attacks sabotage diplomacy russia's foreign minister said that the us was creating an artificial escalation of tensions in the region with more details his kelly. so there were 2 or oil tankers that were

hit. over your. boat but i want to know. from both of you. going on one company here they're going you've been wondering why we're going to. the bother with the civil the spin the did it will get on the. let's go over the facts now the 1st one belongs to john fredrickson 2 he's

a long time norwegian trading partner of iran his relationship with iran goes back to the 1980 s. one biography even refers to him as the ayatollah as lifeline so at a time when washington is using all kinds of pressure to try and stop or running an oil exports it really doesn't make sense for iran to then lash out and attack one of its oldest friends now the 2nd oil tanker to be hit is even more interesting this is a japanese owned chemical tanker and it was hit at the same time that japan's prime minister shinzo ave was in tehran meeting with iran's supreme leader it is a trip on your way to iran from the ancient times of the persian empire and to the present day has been the great country of the middle east and will remain so i mean the future looks so word to believe that at the time that iran was making nice with japan while japan was helping them to find ways to help their oil exports keep flowing despite u.s. . sanctions that iran then turns around and decides to bomb

a japanese vessel in fact iran has been rather nice to the united states in the last few days a us resident who is charged with espionage was just released as a gesture of good will so why would they then choose this moment to fire tar paedos in the gulf of oman the iranian foreign minister jobbins aris is describing these events as suspicious reported attacks on japan related to tank use occurred while pm was meeting with ayatollah for extensive and friendly talks suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely transpired this morning while iran is struggling to keep its nuclear deal intact and keep its economy afloat by selling its most prized resources on the international market like bomb peo would have us believe they then flipped out and torpedoed their 2 key business partners now why exactly would iran do that well because they're the bad guys of course don't ask too many questions hale bopp and r.t.

new york. the 2 vessels cooled far in one of the world's key oil routes near the strait of hormuz on the way in and out of the gulf the incident prompted all prices to surge tehran has threatened to shut the waterway in response to u.s. threats about sanctions alone do mr a senior lecturer at lancaster university think that there is no evidence the tankers were attacked by iran. you have to remember that the food does that we see a grainy black and white pictures and he doesn't say whether these are hit on me and because there is no evidence to suggest that it is indeed an iranian battle board and how do we know they're the people who are on board audience in fact i need the iranians did it why would there be so silly i needed to kind of open themselves up to criticism when the noid very well that there are civilians cameras satellites have all of our going around taking these pictures that's number one and the number 2 is the fact that we how hard

a job will it be pointed dollar talk isn't when evidence have been doctored and we have our kind of submits and which are not actually revealing the truth and that is the reason why i would use the very phrase weapons of mass deception. i stay with r.t. more news coming your way after the short break. 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 they hope that iran makes a mistake and somehow. and then there's a some kind of confrontation and then uranium 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. i think you know cubans all over the world you know all all very similar you know western the western us did not invent democracy you know there's democracy everywhere in world history in india in china if you go far enough back creating inclusion in soviet union after 990 was not a matter of adopting the u.s. constitution it was a matter of finding what works in that cultural context. you case national advertising watchdog has banned the promote gender stereotypes they

claim sexist campaigns could negatively restrict people and limit the life choices . well riverdance shows how harmful gender stereotypes in ads can contribute to inequality in society with costs for all of us put simply we found that some portrayals in ads can over time play a part in limiting people's potential but the government now back now back now back to me sadly he isn't me it's the man 3 times a sticky mess. that has reached times to greece plus one. new guidelines apply to all forms of advertising and print online and on t.v. or radio advertising as well have to tread carefully when women doing the cleaning men struggling with household duties or any promotion of an idealized physical appearance discussed a story with feminist campaigner linda bell last leader of the justice for men and boys party might be counted. but still talking about doing something that we said

would happen 2030 years ago because the sex discrimination act since 1975 and there was a promise then. that men and women will be treated equally fairly and we've yet to see it i'm sorry to say this is of course just the opposite i was again destry bowing down to radical feminism. the idea that there's some big problem here what will you say that linda but only 9 percent of british women suffered and to far as feminists yet feminists have huge influence over of course this can not to do it because all this gender stereotyping thing is just one of countless from this narratives lots of women who want to see equality and justice don't call themselves them this has got nothing to do with them and isn't actually has got to do with the norm like the law has says it's $975.00 sex discrimination that women

should be treated no this favorably than men and therefore we don't want to see so . area type versions and visions of us cleaning out after chaps from the moments that they leave school early full time education to retirement age women are far more likely than men to not work at all or to work part time and this is this is this has got nothing to do with this got to do have a ties and it's got to do with gender differences in work ethic and i refer you to dr catherine hackett in the world in our social or just who showed in the paper but the phenomenon she called preference theory that for in 7 british men are works but only one in 7 british women is i think this is not about market research is about actually law it's of our report we're projecting british society as it is and i want my son i want my grandson to be able to clean up after themselves not

just to think it's a woman's job now is that you might might you might think that this is radical frankly this is the 21st century and that's what most of us want me to be nice if you nice if i stop portraying men completes nincompoops and women as saints who you know who you know could never do anything wrong i mean the pandering to female nascar is in the mind. the pandering to female narcissism in advertising is appalling and part of that is denigration of men but. i very much doubt you know that the denigration of men in advertising is going to reduce. the b.b.c. is facing a backlash from u.k. pensioners they're angry have to the broadcaster announced that it was scrapping free t.v. licenses for the over 70 five's with more is artie's my guess the. respecting and honoring our elders looking out for them is one thing but money is money if

a 75 year old can watch t.v. they sure as heck can pay for it says the b.b.c. currently all households with people over $75.00 are entitled to a free t.v. license that government funded scheme which is expected to cost $745000000.00 pounds by 2021 slash $22.00 comes to an end in 2023 tele's over the grandpas and grandmas time to cough up insured millions of pensioners many of them the same will then living on very modest incomes are going to have to sponsor the b.b. she because the corporation doesn't feel like shutting some of its hugely expensive projects the b.b.c. did the math right what they got wrong was the public reaction outrage

boycott the b.b.c. they are in disgrace money grabbing all sound a 5 year old should be exempt from pains the license fee. so over 70 five's have served their country and worked for decades to make our country a better place will not be church $154.00 pounds for a t.v. license a week after d.-day commemorations shima new b.b.c. petitions popping up left and right anger frustration a feeling of injustice why of those who worked serve the nation for decades being put in the same level as everyone outs where are your manners even government ministers party leaders are upset pensioners have spent their lives contributing to our society providing over 74 hours with free t.v. licenses is not too much to ask here is the kicker the b.b.c. plans to make an additional 500000000 pounds by making the seniors pay for

comparison that's roughly the cost of $5.00 f. $35.00 fighter jets which the u.k. is buying $140.00 of talk about priorities some are angry about the t.v. license cost say the b.b.c. of today the quality of their programmes don't justify the billions that go into it with the latest public hits show hosted by a cartoon vladimir putin who has what appears to be a middle eastern accent. you see now why the b.b.c. needs more money the poor fellows can't even afford a russian voice actor public patience is wearing thin for those that are getting tired of the scandals of the scandal coming out of the b.b.c. be it ridiculous salaries for the top guys or lack of objectivity so many british

people are asking openly why are they still paying to. davies in the age of the internet almost certainly this idea of a t.v. being a separate box that stiff rent to your computer will completely disappear. for many many households and then the question do you have a t.v. will become a weird question to ask by the way the b.b.c. is still 250000000 pounds short of keeping the all of its stuff on air so if you have any ideas of who else to squeeze for a few more quid immigrants ginger's centenarians don't hesitate get in touch l appreciate it. the b.b.c.'s decision comes after the u.k. government passed the cost of funding for a licenses for the over $70.00 five's on to the broadcaster the b.b.c. insists that maintaining free licenses will affect the quality of programming adding that those least able to pay will still be entitled to

a fee waiver i said my god he says that people are losing patience with the b.b.c. . there is a tremendous amount of anger in the country about the b.b.c. there is this feeling that the b.b.c. no longer represents the voice of ordinary british people and it is of course a state broadcaster and t.v. licensing is a brand of the b.b.c. and it is extraordinary the 10 percent of the people who go to court in britain are going to court about t.v. licensing issues and that most of those people are little old ladies and some of them may even end up in prison for not paying a t.v. license i think there is an argument that people are deeply concerned about the elitist liberal direction of the b.b.c. they're concerned because it pursues certain agendas for example it's very positive on global warming this is a major issue for the b.b.c. it doesn't like mr trump it doesn't like bracks it and

a lot of people feel there's been a huge political bias not just in b.b.c. news programs but in b.b.c. comedy and in other output i mean this is a very big issue. all the top stories in half an hour see that. i do.

with this manufactured sentenced to public will. when the right wing closest to protect themselves. with the frame of. the room signal. is crashing on the global markets so when that happens people buy gold nation if i go because it's michael something backed by the mind goldmine for gold that's making a new all time highs australian dollars almost as a russian ruble almost dies in canadian dollars almost as a euro so all over the world it's creeping higher because of the trust being

eroded. feel welcome you should all just normal god called. a memory a little you know welsh up the hill but you know it is in your ocean cruise it. was in march just alter said some of you up on the board was to be diffused with the blood of the. national. league city but i wish to. lead you to surround us. monday morning something very very thirsty. but i hoard and then lie down with the legacy of the local which is based on what the voters thought you own or one with your means is there's

a chance to start to look at your bullshit a little. because i'm not sure. that. you know what. they're. there for. 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 pay off for the biden campaign or will miss. 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 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 angeles john i 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 is 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.
