headlines this prosecutor strong almost 10 year rape investigation against wiki leaks founder julian assange sizing insufficient evidence to bring charges the decision has sparked it will mark will make his extradition to the u.s. more likely. the death toll in bolivia protests rises to 27 as a decree by the country's self-proclaimed leader actively grants legal impunity to armed forces dealing with. we want justice from this president and how she sent the military police to kill us like animals if we're human beings we're not animals for them to kill us like that.

and in norway an anti muslim demonstration erupts into a street brawl after a copy of the koran is set on fire. good morning you're watching r.t. international is just gone 9 o'clock here in moscow nice we dish prosecutors have dropped a 2010 rights investigation against wiki leaks founder julian assange citing a lack of evidence it's feared though by his supporters that the decision will clear the way for the whistle blows extradition from the u.k. to the u.s. where he faces espionage charges is currently being held in belmarsh prison in london after his arrest in april he was sentenced to 50 weeks in jail for breaching his bail conditions and 2012 hearings proper relating to a u.s. extradition request will begin in february rally. has more on the swedish case. for

now in is judith on his face and uncertain future in the u.k. it all started with a sex crime charges in sweden that could have seen the wiki leaks co-founder being extradited back to the scandinavian country he himself said he would then be handed over to the u.s. for releasing classified information but sweden has now dropped the rape case against the songe after dinner issue investigation and investigative steps taken over the summer in the autumn is now clear that the oral statement testimony and support given by the injured party has weakened therefore i have come to the conclusion that additional interviews with julian assange would not all authority evidentiary basis in a decisive manner as such i have decided not to hold an interview with him up until now sweden could have still off of the extradition now the no longer a threat that ironically means other than the impending hearing there's nothing

standing in the way of mr saunders extradition to the u.s. . that is now focused on the threat mr assange has been warning about for years to belligerent prosecution of the united states and the threat it poses to the 1st amendment the swedish sex crime allegations led to the ecuadorian embassy in august 2012 from where he was famously dragged out of april this year and he's currently in prison now swedish charges have been dropped all the tension time says extradition trial scheduled for february next year but some are concerned about whether he'll get a fair hearing i think that it's absolutely fair to say that politics now is coming to. an extradition proceeding it was not designed to be a political or say that politics absolutely positively should not come into play this should be treated as any other. proceeding where the

u.s. are seeking to have someone extradited from u.k. to us or u.k. or shaking down one extradited from the u.s. back to you. but i think it's cruel ish for one to assume that politics will not come into play in this particular matter and if he is eventually sent to the u.s. he may not ever then leave with a potential of 175 year sentence if he's found guilty of the 18 counts the u.s. has charged him with.

i. think. i . the pursuit of julian the silence is that the fear is about how whistleblowers are treated by washington although not every whistleblower is treated the same not if they're protected by the cia protecting whistleblowers she says she wrongdoing of any kind and that government is a sham is basically on the verge of not only revealing the identity or getting somebody

else to reveal the identity of the whistleblower but also bringing harm to that person everything is politically motivated that of the trumpet ministration as absolutely no credibility and no principles whatsoever when it comes to these things. whistleblowers should be protected whistleblowers should be lauded their heroes. whistleblowers do the store thing not for personal gain not for their ego they do it for the public good and it's proof to me that donald trump doesn't care about the public good he cares about himself and no one else i mean clearly when he says that he loves wiki leaks and then after he gets electors i don't know anything about wiki leaks but some of the stand your supporters to you claim that sweden has been doing america's bidding. i don't suppose i'm

apology is pending from those who for years referred to julian as a rapist and did niger that the whole affair was about shoving him in a us supermax black hole for the crime of having exposed crimes against humanity committed in our name oh man it's almost like the whole thing was an excuse to arrest the son and then extradite him to the us if only someone would warned us it was a sham by dropping the charges against julian assange and sweden ironically removes another way to stop an extradition to the us for him sweden can't extradite him there and the charges against him were probably a hindrance for the u.k. to just extradite him it was entirely expected because of course the swedish allegations were very obviously always a cia fit up and they were only ever intended to get assigned into custody in order

to pave the way for extradition to the united states for publishing for publishing the truth about american war crimes and they have these allegations would serve their purpose and plainly there was never a scintilla of credible evidence behind them. they're not needed anymore so it's entirely expected that they'll drop. the protests in bolivia show no sign of dying down with demonstrators denouncing what they call a coup against the country's former leader even model as he resigned 2 weeks ago on the advice of the believe in military missed granted asylum in mexico in bolivia clashes with the police have left 27 dead and hundreds injured riley says supporters largely from indigenous communities say the armed forces are being heavy handed. but. we want justice from this president and how he she sent a military police to kill us. like an animal so if we're human beings we're not

animals for them to kill us like that. the. only coming i would like publicly to denounce the killings that the military police are carrying out this self declared president and her killer cabinet ministers and criminals this is what the country is getting. the start we are unhappy with you need 9 years because she's issuing decrees authorizing the military and police to killers without there being any justice. for bolivian security forces have sent helicopters and armored vehicles to disrupt a week long blockade of a major fuel pond by protesters blockade has led to fuel and food shortages during the operation one person was killed and 8 have been injured conservative senator janine ann years has proclaimed to self interim president of bolivia although she

is not recognized by politicians loyal to morale as on thursday she issued a controversial decree protecting the military from criminal prosecution when maintaining public order. the current social political and human rights crisis and believe runs the risk of deteriorating is authorities continue to respond in a violent manner to criticism protests media scrutiny and violence by 3rd parties while the us secretary of state my pump commented on several protests taking place across the globe but not those in bolivia although he did praise in a 9 years for expelling hundreds of cuban officials and doctors from the country one quarter expects. be united states will continue to stand alongside the lebanese people. i

lebanon's countrywide protests are rupp did over a month ago the protesters are accusing government officials of widespread corruption and hold them to blame for failing to put the brakes on a deepening economic crisis washington's made it clear it thinks those are injustices worth fighting against not too different from its stance on hong kong i the chinese communist party must honor its promises to the hong kong people who only want the freedoms and liberties that they have been promised in the sun a british joint declaration insurrection began in june against a law that would have allowed extradition of hong kong's criminals to the mainland over the past several months there have been thousands of injuries and arrests it's been a big challenge for beijing but for washington an opportunity the u.s.

state department says the protesters are fighting for freedom and democracy just like the ones in iran i. could public must sees violence against its own people the world watching iranians flooded on to the streets on friday after a massive price hike for petrol the government announced those rioting and the people in washington who contributed to the crisis with crippling sanctions it might seem like the u.s. just loves to support chaos wherever it may be but sometimes the government accused of injustice is a friend to. monday marks one month since the beginning of nationwide protests against rampant economic

inequality thousands of chileans rallied across the country to commemorate that day so far 2 dozen people have been killed and thousands arrested washington's reaction a travel warning bolivia is a pretty similar situation the country's been gripped by protests in support of its recently ousted socialist president abel morales. the state department hasn't had anything to say about that they instead back to the new regimes claim that cuba is somehow to blame for bolivia's problems live in a joint brazil in ecuador in recognizing the cuban threat to freedom bravo to libya and one protests were taking place against morales washington had something else to say the united states applauds the bolivian people for demanding freedom around the

world protests continue to rage for the u.s. it's a great time to fuel the fire of popular anger if it's for the right reasons of course the united states you know go good in other parts of the world like the middle east the show you just lived the united states is very much supportive and he put on his things to go abroad reach out and trying to destabilize the google and that is the he will do this to you believe it we've got extra support to hold. up so. people want us in a movement to have their people. to. go i believe we're going to united states totally switches. begins to support the government and the rules. all. over its or which is supported by

a liberal. which was thrown into the united states. a demonstration by a group called stop islamization of norway ended in a brawl when it was confronted by a muslim counter-protest tensions flared when 2 copies of the koran were thrown into a bin and another was set on fire by the organizations leader. was the was the local media reports say the demonstrators also compared islam to fascism describing it as a religion of violence several arrests were made as police moved in the incident also provoked an international reaction to a with turkey condemning it with a local muslim union leader describe what happened as a hate crime he promised to take legal action against the organization and its leader who allegedly burned the corps we want to take these stop islamization of

norway group to the courts we want once and for all to stop the group and others who create divisions and rivalries we spoke to the head of dialogue from the islamic cultural center about this he believes that the rhetoric of some norwegian politicians is also a serious threat. but sometimes we get a replacement ringback some people in this on purpose are more dangerous that is the politicians that where you don't talk against muslims about stuff islamisation of the weeds in society that is that the more dangerous that a couple of crazy people in christensen i think the most important thing to counter when he comes you know counter hate speech is to talk to each other and create good examples of both muslims and not muslims and look when we talk in our way and this is really important to us as muslims we don't talk about us muslims and that not muslims or addition talk about us the reason they will slips what we talk about is you know we're just society where everybody is part of the bigger us and watching us international sporting we're going to take

a quick break now we're back and take it. thanks thanks. thanks. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. temperance to impeach and remove donald trump from the presidency have clearly divided the country this should not surprise anyone trump is probably the most

divisive public figure of our time however all this division over a single person is changing and even damaging institutions is impeachment being normal. again you with us he now whistleblower from an international chemical watch told because the keys to suppressing evidence the claim to a probe into an alleged chemical attack on the syrian city of duma in april 20. 5th has the. 7th of april 2018 terrible images flood the internet the news people civilians suffocating with symptoms of nerve agent poisoning the alleged aftermath of

a chemical attack in syria with it week cruise missiles flying in syria. generally when you launch missiles at someone you know they did something wrong what made these 3 incidents so remarkable is that everything happened in reverse 1st they launched the missiles and then investigated who it was that they should have targeted it took a year for the u.p.c. w. to compile a report where they said that they found traces of chlorine with strong indications that the gas containers were dropped from the air garden and darden today's o.p.c. w final report on the 7th of april 2018 attack in duma confirms chemical weapons used demonstrating the vital importance of the o.p.c.

w.'s work this confirmed chlorine attack was only the latest example of the assad regime's chemical warfare attacks on its own population except it isn't done it's our new raveling to whistleblowers involved in the investigation and now come forward alleging irregularities and suppression cherry picking of actual findings the 1st contest that the u.p.c. ws acetate and that the gas canisters would dropped rather than placed at the scene observations at the scene of the 2 locations suggest that there is a higher probability that both cylinders were manually placed at those 2 locations rather than being delivered from aircraft the 1st whistle blower was allegedly an al. side contracted the u.p.c. w. said it took into account all findings not just here is the problem is according to the 2nd whistleblower a member of the team which was on the ground the collecting samples is that the

u.p.c. w. took into account some findings more than they did others most of the duty and focus he reports on the instant the interim report and the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally irregular and possibly fraudulent the whistleblower who is identities being kept secret for his safety featured at a high profile conference in brussels and his testimony appears to be much more damning than the 1st whistle blowers professor richard fall cause there at the conference where the whistleblower spoke professor what pushed him to come forward what was the gist of it well essentially he presented evidence testimonials to the thing that the or final group or could not be justified in the form that it was submitted and that it's been

tempered with such a way to create a set of conclusions that curse. the us. britain france it would be the outcome of an investigation but the evidence didn't support better all that the u.p.c. w. said that that that is chlorinated organic chemicals which are everywhere all around us in our drinking water the difference is in the event of a chemical attack they would be in a much higher concentration and for whatever reason new p.c. w. didn't say what that concentration was not it was the public not even. to their own inspectors but when the analysis of these key levels came back from the laboratories the results were cancer sammy barrick at unison who was the doom of fact finding missions leader against normal expectations they were not passed on to

the inspector who was drafting the o.p.c. w.'s interim report on duma the inspectors tested the victims the whistleblower said their blood their hair and they found nothing no nerve agent no chlorine in levels that would indicate a chemical attack nothing which raises an important question professor didn't the whistleblower come across as political perhaps with bias and little they could do. and he seemed very much like. international civil servant a technocrat i think this central underlying difficulty was that the evidence of the. guesses that were alleged to be used didn't seem to be to curse with what the inspectors. and that it was descriptions apparently the management ignored not only the inspectors findings but

also their concerns in fact whistleblower claims the inspectors were made to sit through speeches by unidentified american agents who insisted that asaad was guilty that the asset should be blamed the inspectors left fairweather the office feeling that the invitation to the americans to address them was unacceptable pressure and a violation of the o.p.c. w.'s declared principles of independence and impartiality 2 days later the interim report was released a senior colleague told us 1st floor management says the very b.c.w.s. credibility we have to have a smoking gun and look how that turned out u.p.c. w. is coming apart at. this seems good let's hold off jumping to conclusions and like the united states and pals are rather wait for our answers and the truth before launching anything at the u.p.c. w.

. again as the affair now a museum in the us has announced that next year it will only acquire works by female artists the movie is meant to mark the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote in the u.s. museum's director says it will also shift the institution's identity. you don't just purchase one painting by a female artist of color and hang it on the wall the next to a painting by mark rothko to rectify centuries of imbalance you have to do something radical the baltimore museum of art will also feature works exclusively by women in 19 of its $22.00 exhibitions and a lot of include at least one transgender artist at the moment just 4 percent of the museum's permanent collection of art was created by women some though have slammed the initiative. with the beltre museum of art is doing here is just another example of the left fostering the false notion that women do best with crutches the

point of equality is equality i'm happy to see women's works being recognized but we must find balance which should be equal amounts of male and female representation but we discuss the issue with the leader of the british political party justice for men and boys and also with the women's rights activist. complete nonsense i'm not aware of a field of human activity where excellence can be measured objectively where women compete in any numbers at the top level this is all about. this is all about forcing institutions to buy poor from poor female artists of course they don't agree and. it's actually to. affirmative action to write a historical wrong which has been. excluding basically women from from the arts world and i fully support their their choice of it all too often in recent years

i've seen some bizarre works they are paying for them. and you know very often it must be by a woman because it's been put in there. to satisfy some gender quotes but we know the public knows good fine arts from poor arts i think my counterpart is not really understanding the argument the argument is the fact that. we men have never big given are not very well arts and it's important to give access to art to all general to all genders in general like all races etc i did not say women cannot be good artists what i'm saying is that for you that i work coming out of the humanities where art please please maria let me finish let please let me finish what i was saying at the top of the virtually every i think of every field where excellence can be measured objectively not subjectively women are almost represented at the top level i think there's quite

a number of reasons behind the one of them it's simple work ethic men men work harder than women we know for but 2000 study published in 2000 in the u.k. that while 4 in 7 british men works only one in 7 british women. is works and men and women are different in order to play the meritocracy card you have to have an equal playing field right now society is not an equal playing field a lot of studies have shown a statistical proof so you cannot put play the my talk of the card like we have this is an important move and it's an affirmative action to prove to right a historical wrong and you need to give access to people 1st and foremost in order for people to prove their capital cities right now the world is not an equal playing field debate we had here in r.c. bit early so that's how things are looking so far this morning i would have more for you in about half.

when i was sure seemed wrong. but i'll just don't. let me. get to sleep out this day come out again. and in again trade equals betrayal. once on find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. good food descriptions sound up to even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us and was necessarily good for the patent turns out in pet food may not be as healthy as people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in

arthritis they have auto immune disorders they've got allergies we are actually creating these problems and it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to fairy simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. you know on who you know or know. you know i'm with but. you know i'm from.
