ah ah, the hearing of julian, a song that tradition case has wrapped up in the case high court was closed high profile supporters showed their support outside morning his freedom he would spend the rest of his, a super max prison in the united states. what kind of life is that to look for? somebody can, with no crime, wasn't coming in the world, the true solution to the energy crisis and other big issues are being discussed at an economic forum, a made out in the city of rosena today, recruitment and future shaping voices from europe and asia all getting together a key figure from january is capitol hill, right. so was caught on camera. encouraging people to school in the building is quite removed from the at the always most wanted list. open questions about the
1:01 pm
background. ah one for moscow. thanks for joining us tonight on our team. for national, i'm daniel hawkins. whether you was nights. welcome to the program. now the fate of the wicked expounded julian assange is in the hands of the you case high court. it's us extradition hearing has just ended. the verdict might take several weeks. the. i didn't a sonjee is wanted by washington on 17 charges of us and one of conspiracy to hack a government computer is convicted. he could face a prison sentence 775 years. we heard from ortiz shot, it was dusty. he was outside the court for us and independent journalist richard
1:02 pm
met us. he's been watching the whole hearing a special live stream. judges just said they will take everything into consideration, but no ruling was handed out immediately. yesterday, the entire day was devoted to hearing arguments performed. busy by the prosecution for the grounds of appeal, why they want to appeal a judge's decision not to extradite us on. and there were 5 grounds of appeal in today. the defense was able to respond to these points and the 2 the 2 main topics are of course found his health and the assurance of the diplomatic assurances given by the united states. now. 9 in terms of health, what the prosecution i've been trying to do is accuse a key medical, extra witness professor compliment of being disingenuous of misleading the court by just by refusing to disclose by concealing the identity of a son, just partner stella morris and the 2 children and today in court, we finally heard the yahoo news story, the investigative journalism that was done a few weeks ago where 30 us officials confirmed what we already knew from anonymous
1:03 pm
testimony. that the cia was discussing plans to potentially kidnap or poison julian as orange in london. and so this was brought up in the context of why a couple of men why professor coleman did not disclose the identity of a son, just partner and their 2 children because he feared for their safety. right. and in fact, one of the export medical witnesses called by the prosecution doctor blackwood also knew a lot of phones as children, but didn't disclose that in his medical report. and they didn't seem to care about that. so they've been trying to chip away at his expertise and integrity because of a technicality. so when it comes to the assurances that the united states is giving, they say that julian funds can service sentence in australia, but australia has not even indicated if they will take julian farms. this is a process that could take many here, which he would spend either an administrative segregation, which is effectively solitary confinement or special administrative measures sounds . so the question is, who will be in australia by then really wants to take julian authority. and when it comes to the story, shortens the united states has previously previously given a short and says to that to mendoza from spain,
1:04 pm
people who were extradited to the united states on a promise of being given psychiatric care medical care. and then they, they ended up being sent to a, the x lawrence where, you know, this is essentially a federal super maximum prison where assange will most certainly go. so they're been trying to play this point, that administrative segregation is not the same thing as, as sam's. but the truth is the jew and assange will most definitely be placed in at least administrative segregation. and if not, he'll be sent to a special housing unit. so there's a wide array of tools that united states can use to break him once he's on us soil and they most certainly will get richer. they're already many analysts to who are suspicious, or perhaps this will be dragged out weeks, months, even years. and julian assigns will just live perpetually in some sort of a prison, whether it's bell marsh in the u. k. or potentially in america, or even as you say, in australia, you would live there in vienna. you are watching the hearing through a special live stream. now let's cross over to london outside the u. k. high court ortiz at shot, it was dashed, he's still the shadow. you've had a busy day with lots of a song,
1:05 pm
just support his way you want out today. tell us about how it was today. i know you were speaking to friends and family of julian assange, people outside of the royal court of justice have been very vocal who really 48 hours now in defense of a jew linux. it's not just the lawyers that a furious with washington, but people here on the streets as well, particularly in regards to the fact that the united states is complete. this credit thing, i just saw just psychiatric evaluations done assessments and we made secretary and she said to me earlier today and he said that they're still living in some high that justice and will be sad on the medical ground. common sense and justice seems to be often far away. so i have to retain a certain level of skepticism, lawrence in the system when assessing the possibilities. but we certainly hope that you outcome will be that the high court will simply say he cannot be expedited. this is an opportunity for them to reassert administration or lee
1:06 pm
a journalist all around the world. well, it's not just campaign is, but in fact, members of parliament here in the united kingdom came out in full today. arguing that all of this evidence presented today is prove that this case is 100 percent. politically motivated, specially considering all that journal sanchez injured over the last 10 years, really near a decade, all i'll give leave and the un had dumped it as psychological torture over the years. but over in humane treatment, in what's known as a black flight, that was london's ecuador and embassy, all the evidence we've gotten. all the experience to have gotten united states is that they would go to the max prison on a sentence 475 years. he would spend the rest of his life in a super max prison in the united states. what kind of life is that to look forward to? somebody's committed, no crime. i've been telling a world the truth. it is
1:07 pm
a total injustice. we send this man to america, to the time, to the lot of assessed in many of the park when people have said he should be killed. so they won't treat him as a human being. so they want to make an example of giving a son by treating him so badly by trying to break him. so that gives a lesson to other jim list. many campaign is a hayley janice on the hay round today. they've been incredibly vocal for their 10 hours today, 10 hours yesterday challenging free, free unit. so i have nothing in his trial from last year even to now is it every single instant than any other school is low in anywhere in the world? this would have been for now for, for this to be continuing is absolutely ridiculous. this st. barrison is giving you a better sense of the english. i'm involved with. the high coach of injustice is wise to counsel that friend in the laws. in every way i can just to re shorter 2
1:08 pm
sites in a i something is the plan and campaign, hey, it's not just the songs in the dark. so to sit on the mental principles and kind of also freedom of press on the right to access that information were coming along. now to me, coven, director of courage on nation which support student songs. thanks for joining us now. me good. having a program today with a lot of good to be here actually just correct you 1st, but i haven't actually work the courage foundation for a while. i now what french cool new print to free speech. so we'll say support julian, and to show thanks so much for the for that correction me. i'd like to start with some of the concerns that the protest is out. so the court half our nose for the mental health of student us on they will submit a concern obviously for, for his lawyers. he must be feeling a lot of pressure muslim, waiting on the verdict on the tradition. do you have any information on how you coping mentally with it? i don't think i have any special information about how he's saying,
1:09 pm
but from what i got the it's been almost strain for him and the past 2 years as well as you know, the decade of compliance in various places. the for that weight very heavily on him . i work very closely with lowering love the british computer scientists who succeeded in his own expedition case. now he wasn't in bel mustering proceeding fi . so this whole several years of fighting through to court defeat expedition had on him. it was very because this to him and his family. so i couldn't imagine how that is to get him in terms of how you see this voted. going appreciate, we obviously have to wait up the several weeks for it to be announced. or you can send a verdict might not be in zealand, sol, just favor how much of a possibility do you think that is? oh it's, it's an interesting question. so. so as well as we all know, there's an awful lot at stake in this case. however, because of the way the legal system, the legal process is developed and because in the way you case spans it's on the
1:10 pm
freedom of the press, the quite poor. in many ways, we've now gone to the point where this case is very much about the state of julian's health, and what would happen to him in the united states and whether an extradition would be oppressive unless it would be a sort of life risk for him. which is exactly where lowery's case ended up as well . so the call is deciding really whether this precedent set in law with case cases the for like are in mckenna's case, is going to stand. and it's good in a way that the chief justice, my senior judge of england and wales is hearing this case because lowery's ruling was his ruling as well. so in some ways you'd expect and want to try and defend this, this principle as, and i think your 1st interview a rich actually summarize that quite well. the u. s. has been able to question some of them rather than now if they succeed in doing that, it's not that these medical goods go away to clean the big issue in the case. so what, when for the u. s. looks like in this situation, i think he's at the high court will then say, well,
1:11 pm
will cost out on this medical witness. we think hello. it just needs to look at the question again. so if the u. s. when here i don't think that means the traditional, he goes forward, me to actually goes back on stage probably to the lower court and we have to start the process. so let me tell you what info could be awful and we talking about, you know, another couple of years in order to get to this stage of it again. but that's, i think that's the worst case scenario. yeah, something doesn't look like it's gonna end anytime soon. and obviously, throughout songs is at time, both in the embassy and, and belmont is what he has built up, a large base of support. if he does lose this case, or as you say, if the case goes back to another judge in the cycle starts all over again. what do you think supporters should do or will do what i think so. obviously, julian, probably because the things that he's on his own is momentous and the impact on journalism, the and the way we see whistle blowing. if i told you to coach just generally has
1:12 pm
been so enormous, he is quite controversial, contested figure in some circles. so i think has this case goes on the underlying issues, the freedom of the press issues, the freedom of speech issues as well as the military issues become ever clear. and i think the sort of ground swell of basic opposition to this process on justice grounds will just consolidate. think get bigger in those calls will get louder. the people outside for quite right to say that there is a political aspect. extradition is at least as much in the school processes as is a legal prices and not to say that necessarily what happens call $25.00. so there are political decisions behind that stuff and make the decision to decide whether to give credence to a us back to just requests and say no, this is not something we want to do. like, as you may, you may be familiar with this case of and coolness who's a former c i officer who's accidentally ran over a brochure teenager,
1:13 pm
and then was allowed to leave the u. k. and the u. s. is just refused to entertain an extension request for 2 different requests from the u. k. so sulphur instate can do that. i'm run the big scandals in this case really is that it's ever been allowed to come to court. and i think in a different political situation where you haven't had a post breaks that conservative party with a small, small majority feelings. honorable was him to appease donald trump's united states . i just don't think we would have seen this case comes to my opinion. sure. and of course, in the last few months we have seen a number of revelations in the case come to light. one of the big ones, obviously a key witness apparently lying in a testimony with somebody to jeopardize the whole prosecution case. also those alleged plans to bother you to kidnap or even assassinate children, songs very strong mitigations. there that's been getting very little attention, isn't it? why do you think that's the case given bass and front of the to the case? well, of those 2 things you mentioned, i think the you who knew story about the cia plot that the, the,
1:14 pm
i was certainly discussing like absolutely crazy things like his math and poisoning is to throw up like real james bond stuff is probably the more important it's best to source and it's mostly main to the process that's going on. now, one of the things that was the reason why the 1st instance judge back in january that julian shouldn't be expedite. this is because, well, with the u. s. s, what kind of the problem of justice comes and says me about we won't apply, especially the ministry to measure. ultimately it's not up to them automatically. the decision will be made on the recommendation of agencies which include the c, c, i. this isn't conspiratorial. think this is that he's just how the process works. right? so the fact you have this story is quite easy. so story from 30 different sources say, well, yes, these times were discuss, i'm proposed even though is completely crazy stuff and obviously against and
1:15 pm
obviously you know, against the prevailing. no, i mean yeah, of course, i mean it just support that original conclusion that no us assurance has, can't be trusted in the course. you. the assumption has to be that if you live close to that exit, i see united states and i sorry much hope you won't be and i don't think you will be yeah, of course you could. but the worst of the west coast, given what you said, if, if you think he's not going to be extra to, if he does, when his case do you think we'd be under the road for a song? because given obviously what we've just discussed, there's a lot of people that will be concerned for his safety, even if he does when he's free to love. yes, is very good question. so let's put sort of extra, extra legal threat to one side for the moment. if, if he ultimately win this case in the u. k, i mean, i don't think he's going to want to stay here. i don't think he necessarily has any
1:16 pm
standing to stay in the u. k. he would have to go somewhere else. i guess the option is that you go straight because that's where he has citizenship. as things stand, there's nothing he thought the part is, is ministration starting at tradition proceedings again. and actually i think most this then becomes a political question, both for the buyer miss ministration. who's like, do you really want to continue with this or that? so no matter what it says about your belief in freedom with the press and it's also a mouthful strategy or at school all day going. so would they entertain such a threat from the united states? so it moves shad very much from law and into politics. i think in so many power here. a state so many things going on behind the scenes? no. you coven, whistler advocate. thanks so much for your time. is that a good time in the project? thanks a lot. green reforms and the energy supply process are some of the
1:17 pm
big questions looking to be answered at today's you raised and you can look for a 3 day event gathers together, dictators from the business world and beyond. and he's on the way in northern italy's verona with more details on what's been already set up before he's respondent shot at the whiskey. but was an electric atmosphere here at the eurasian economic forum in the beautiful city of verona. where the discussions have been looking at and picking the energy crisis that the european union, the european continent is facing at the moment. now in a start with some of the, the words spoken by get how to schroeder, the former german chancellor, who said that at the moment politicians and the media in europe, we're looking to point the finger at russia saying that it was to blame for this crisis. but in reality, they didn't want to understand what it was, the energy crisis at the moment he outlined what he believed were the factors involved combat bitchy prior year period,
1:18 pm
energy demand in or european markets increase sick significantly in the 1st half of 2020 bottle. the key factor here was the economy which they covered after the cobit 9 to bet this is same period last year. gas demand in the 6th largest european market. germany, france, the netherland italy, spain. the united kingdom increased by 12 percent in the 1st top of 2020 born. also to also said that the in you need to think about discussion and dialogue rather than accusations. he said that the transition from the traditional fossil fuel energy to the green energy was a major project and what was needed right now was energy security for him that comes from gas. now that transition form at the fossil fuel energy to the green,
1:19 pm
and it was also criticized by several of the other participants when saying that, you know, it's like saying let's stop production and publishing of encyclopedias and just assuming that google will happen, of course, he said that not what happens, what's needed is a major. oh matt, to ensure that this transition is much more smooth. there was also a pick up on that screen from the president and the c e. o of rosner, who warned that the energy courses at the moment is impacting other industries too . and he said that the shows that the wrong decision can have a major impact, or she is placed on the rush is helping to solve the energy crisis, giving a stable supply of gas to europe and fulfilling all contractual obligations this year has shown that the wrong decisions over climate policies can lead to serious consequences for the entire world economy and society. it seems that in some cases, advocates of an early move away from fossil fuels ignore the risks of imminent
1:20 pm
market imbalance. energy projects, a long term and the choices we make. now, will determine the future, the global energy sector for a decade to come. there was a cost for the oil and the gas industry to be much more involved in the discussions . whole is transition saying you may not like it, but all actors need to be involved. and the people in the meantime will have to change how they use their electricity. there was also a warning that this transition to the green energy will certainly mean one thing that is higher prices. all of us. we also spoke to klaus mangold, the chairman of mangold, consulting. he says, tons of energy needs to be developed, but without abandoning the old fort diver lee said, we have to be very careful about what we are doing. and we cannot just chat about our 1st see nuclear and not being active any more in coal and sin, nuclear will be important in future in europe,
1:21 pm
we have to intensify what we are doing in terms of renewables. and especially israel, we saving energy, but i guess we'll be israel, one of the future of our energy needs and we can it sola and we can a wind my to, we need, we know as well. since this is our assumption, what time we hear for chance after let me say 5 years to brings of course sound. but in the meantime, i believe industry households will have to pay much more set up to now. and people will certainly israel think about what to do with consumption. often someone disappears entirely from a list that so infamous as the f, as b's most a few eyes were the most wanted. that's what's happened to one man. and he said to be one of the key figures in january's capitol hill rights in washington, it was caught on camera telling people to storm the building. it's got some including members of the republican party raising questions about who exactly the
1:22 pm
mysterious figure is. elam often picks up the story an individual featured in videos calling for people to enter the capital building even before the january 6th capital riot and was seen on the day. january 6th, ushering crowds into the capital building has been identified by law enforcement as arizona resident re, apps, re apps and aries on a man seen in vitally circulated videos, tearing tramps, support his on multiple occasions to go into. the capitol also seemed to have acted on his own. i don't know, like a rebel, as i said, we need, we need to know. i'll say, we need to go in the camera let go. ah, not surprisingly, he was on the f. b i's most wanted list them was referred to as suspect. 16 for
1:23 pm
some time f b i w f o is seeking the public's assistance in identifying those who made unlawful entry into the u. s. capital building on january the 6th. but now suspect 16 has been scrubbed from the f b i website. now if you take a look at the way back machine from archive dot org, you can see that from january 8th, 2021, all the way until june, 30th suspect 16 was pretty clearly highlighted, but suddenly, on july, 1st, he wasn't on the website any longer. now if he'd been arrested, he would still be on the website just with arrested under his name, like others who have been apprehended. but he's not, he's just been scrubbed. this has prompted lawmakers to ask questions about whether or not there were f b. i provocative tours who may have helped events on january 6th to go the way they did far as we can find this individual has not been charged with anything. can you tell us without talking about particular incidents or particular videos?
1:24 pm
how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on january 6, whether they agitated to go into the capital and if any of them did a. so i'm not going to violate this norman of follow the rule of law. i'm not going to comment on an investigation that's ongoing. now the capital breach database has no entries or listings for re apps to some. that's a pretty big red flag. the ongoing mystery of re apps, he repeatedly appears in videos encouraging and inciting an invasion of the capital on january the 6th. yet for some reason has not yet been indicted were charged. even his people with far less involvement have been re apps as a free man. he has never been arrested or charged nearly 10 months after july. the 6th, the f b. i and justice department still refused to comment on with the eps has ever been served. a search warrant the f b i 's record when it comes to things like protests and provocations is not exactly
1:25 pm
squeaky plain. people can look up the history of cohen tell pro infiltration and other dirty deeds. if january 6th is such a pivotal date in u. s. history as it's being presented, surely questions like those surrounding suspect? 16 demand answers. caleb martin, r t new york. this month that history was meeting all with with the 1st ever movie film in spice, or to use asking silas, but with a greater force behind beast that a project, the rector, them ship and go. you can watch the full interview here, and i'll see throughout the day in the meantime, his a preview. but at the end of this tour week, we flew into the door with the cooper. and i remember, you know, i was just like frozen on there than we stop flying because it was you and we were just looking we just, we were just mesmerized by. and so i guess that was the 1st moment that we realize, oh my god,
1:26 pm
we are up in the space and here we are. here we're here. finally, i mean, song, i mean, of course, people will train for years with, for us, the training was long to did filming a space also have its advantages, be able to give you something to direct to the can't do here. well, of course, that's why we will up there because i, i spend a lot of time imitating the 0 gravity dense and space station. so i know the limitations of what you can do. even with a huge budget. even with $200000000.00 budget, there are limitations and up there which you're trying to imitate for months there is just given you know everyone's is, is natural for them. when you are directing ah, a space film on earth. it's really, really, i mean, it's hard to twist your brain and assert in this, in the 4 dimensions some scenes i shot the way i, i realized that i wouldn't be able to invent on earth because i is just,
1:27 pm
your mind doesn't twist that way. oh, been was 3 months since the taliban returned to powered up canister following the chaotic us withdrawal and challenges piling up. and economic crisis is now being compounded with a threat of mass starvation. for many children, the brutal reality of life is clear to see. my name is mike, i'm 7 years old. i'm here to collect bread. sometimes people help us. sometimes they don't. i don't have a father. i take care of myself. there is no one else to feed us. there are 6 people in our family and i'm the eldest boy at home, so i have to support them. i can't work because one of my hands is paralyzed. a doctor told me that my hand will not work. i dream of continue my studies at school and becoming a doctor. one day people turn us down some times and they say there is no work, no money, and so they can't give us bread. my name is nancy, i collect plastic race and sell it. i am here at the baker to collect
1:28 pm
a few non bread. i have 3 and will now go home. my father died there is no one at home to earn money. i have my mom, a younger brother and sister, and the only one who takes bread home to a family. i want to be a doctor, but there is no one to help us. it was better before. at least we could find bread easily, but things are in good to day. now we don't have any one to support us if there was, i wouldn't be here. no good. my name is nadia. i'm collecting non bread were helpless at home. we have no work. few people help us, we're often left hungry. i don't want to be here begging i want to stay at home. you are now estimates over 3000000 children under 5 are at risk of dying from malnutrition. that some of the precarious site of the economy, which has now been heavily dependent on foreign aid for years around 40 percent of its gross domestic product has been international aid. however, for now will be about now in control of the country. food tries. this is not the only problem that grappling with islamic state and long time enemy has repeatedly
1:29 pm
stage attacks on the new government and religious minorities. and now the pentagon is express concern the terror groups based in the country. i'm intention to attack the us mainland within a year. and so a far cry from the supposed success of a troop withdrawal from going to on the president bought and hailed at the time. i think the intelligence community currently assess that both isis k and i'll call you to have the intent to conduct external operations including against the united states, but neither currently has the capability to do so. we could see isis k generate that capability somewhere between 6 to 12 months. i think the current assessments by the intelligence community is that al qaeda would take a year or 2, permission to degrade the terrorist threat of al qaeda in afghanistan and kilo. some have been lot was a success. i believed that our presence in that gas dance should be focused on the reason we went, the 1st place to ensure the canister would not be used as
1:30 pm
a base from which to attack our homeland again. we did that. we accomplish our objective form of 100 insecurity analyst model maloof told us the us withdrawal as might have been hard to remove a lot of states from oregon to san isis is now embedded in a highly remote mountainous region. would make it much more difficult to try to extract them. and ice of k has as demonstrated to taliban, which is what sir? against that while they may think that they run canis them, they actually control events. and they've demonstrated that with their suicide bombings, the united states is unable to get any basis in the region. the over the horizon concept really doesn't work.
