12:08 pm
a successful tasked launch of russia sar mod super heavy intercontinental ballistic missile known to the west. as satan to all the tasks, the ministry says out were a fulfilled completely and precisely the giant may saw was launched from place sets caused my drum in rushes north, commenting on the launch rushes, president whiten report, and said that it would make all those countries daring to threaten russia, think twice. let's take a listen. a good boy. sure. this is a big advance in the development of the vast weapons systems for the russian army. the new compost has supreme texaco and technical characteristics in his able to overcome any exist in missile defense systems. it has no equivalence anywhere in the world and there won't be any for a long time. this truly unique weapon will reinforce the convert potential of our armed forces reliably ensure russia security from external threats and make those who in the heat of friends,
12:09 pm
aggressive rhetoric or try to threaten our country. think twice. i would like to express my gratitude to everyone who participated in the development and production of the new complex huggins. you and i would like to emphasize that when creating the sa mars only russian made components and parts were used. and this will simplify the serial production of the new missile complex. we 1st heard of this armored missile back in 2018 when president put in and build 6 new strategic weapons. and back that it was announced that this harmony 1st flight was expected in 2022 with a weapon ready to enter service later in the same year. and from what we can hear. and now today from russia's defense, ministry might happen a little bit. i had of the shadow. back to you, nicky. i thought mary finish now. thanks maria for the details. now down, wikileaks sounded duly nathan's is one step away from extradition to the u. s. as
12:10 pm
after london magistrates court ruled in favor of the move. now up to britain's home secretary to confirm the decision which would c assange handed over to the us where he's warranted on espionage charges, were can leaks the editor in chief, kristen reference and claims the latest decision amounts to a death sentence for assange. a few months ago, this for the actual songs would mean a risk to the life that it will be equal to that now the court has been ordered to that been something that is what happened here today. now alive is in the hands of johnson. they need to do the right thing. you need to make sure they do the right thing. they have the power to start, to end this, to have a bad life and stuff that is attack on the press. well, let's discuss this with political commentator, kevin and marcia. now,
12:11 pm
thank you for joining us on the program. it's good to see, you know, the legal tug of war over the face of a song has been going back and forth for years. he's still on the chance to appeal this latest court decision, but does it look like that's likely to help at this stage? thank you very much for having me today is a very dark day for journalists and journalism because you get court, as you mentioned, has a issue with the decision to take to expedite julian essentially the united states . and this is a death sentence for julian and such as we may know. everybody knows that the united states has its height and tried even to assassinate julian assigns during the past use. and actually i think came to the united states is just going to happen in a way that they would say that he has committed suicide in the prison just like any other figure that they tried to get rid of. i think juliana sancha has a very little chance now not to be expedited to the united states because it seems that the, the government, the administration in the u. s. and the u. k. are coordinating on
12:12 pm
a high level in order to expedite assigned to portion then because in the past years, assange has the views with documents and evidence that the united states has committed war crimes in iraq in afghanistan. we know for sure that the united states has cited with al qaeda in syria. thanks to rekey leaks. we know for sure, thanks to weaken x, that nato intervened in libya in order to steal the oil. and the gold dad's qaddafi was planning to use in order to create the unified golden currency for the entire african continent to replace the french bank. right. so what happened during the past years, wikileaks has presented the great service to humanity until the general public for the journalists, and inspired us in order to not to be embedded with governments, but rather to have an independent journalistic work. because our duty is to control what the governments are doing, if they are committing war crimes or not,
12:13 pm
and not to be embedded with governments and make no mistake. julian assange wasn't biased towards any country. he published documents that condemn a lots of governments, including gracia eon and syria. but most notably, he published documents that condemn the united states. and it is only 2 nights days that is trying nowadays to extradite the julian assigned to the united states. and this will be a death sentence for him. and this will mean, in my opinion, the end of the so called freedom of press on freedom of opinion and expression that the united states brags about and says that it is spreading this values around the word from now on. if anyone speaks about and says that the united states is championing a freedom, afraid of freedom of journalism, we can, we can literally like the, the level of tolerance for us is, has become very minimum, right? so we cannot really tolerate this talk anymore that you know says is championing discrete them around the world because it has killed it has killed it with this
12:14 pm
case against renaissance. well next step in the the assigns case lies in the present time. secretary, pretty patel who has to authorize the extradition of a song which would that know city. the green light from pam is to bar, as john said, what decision are you expecting? and what do you make of the timing? i mean, we have waited donald trump before for him to pardon julian assigned and it didn't happen. and now we are waiting for boys johnson. i have very little faith in boys. johnson or any other western official industry got because they are not going to condemn themselves. by pardoning julian assigned or, or stopping the extradition of julian assigned, they're all in one team. they work together in the past years. and we know in the past 2 or 3 decades, there was an elite of political leads that consist of new liberal elliot, whether it's in the united states or in the europe. and they were hand in hand. they were committing war crimes and depriving the people of the words from the
12:15 pm
national resources. and in this case, i have very little faith. but if the people around the world once to support children aside in disregard, they should go to the website or fix it. and donate to the defense team, and maybe because i'm speaking now on russian t v, i know this is unrealistic demand and appeal. and maybe the russian government can exchange and assange for the british mercenaries that they're being caught nowadays in multiple and in other places. those who are fighting shoulder to shoulder with the nazis of as of, or the see 14 or etc. and ukraine. and as you said, now is the time that you think people should be rallying in support of julian assigned. and during today's court ruling in london, there was another sizable turn out for him. to what extent do you think public opinion is a factor in this case? the public opinion is instrumental in disregard. however, i'm not really optimistic because in this case we have to see a tens of thousands of people protesting in favor of free speech. but in the past few years,
12:16 pm
we have seen that the free speech is becoming eradicated slowly in especially in european and western countries on the government are moving a gradually into authoritarianism. and they have also a based organized they have in full control of the media. they have full control of the state institutions and they are able to shape the public opinion. nowadays, you can see rarely a mainstream media outlets are addressing the case of julian as sergeant, even if they do so. they speak about him in a very fine way and they say that he, he is, he has a spied and he is charge of espionage. juliana sanchez, published documents and information. he didn't steal them. he didn't hack them. he was a journalist, he was a publisher, but if you watch mainstream media and they have an enormous and very tremendous power over the public, the blaming julian assigned calling him as fi. although julian, a sergeant australian, so we have to ask what those shredding government has done for julian as found in
12:17 pm
the past years. right. and in this regard we can say nothing because all this governments have been working together, whether it's in iraq or had seen lee be already in syria, so they are not going to condemn each other. right. i have, i'm very sorry for being pessimistic, but it, julian assange is a half a step away from being extradited to the united states, and i hope i'm wrong, and i hope we can save him little commentary. thank heaven gallon. msn. thank you very much for your time. we appreciate it. oh, that ms. lewinsky has proposed at lee, i should a gang owed to stop his key adviser, alexey ernest, of rich from speaking on behalf of the ukrainian president. while keith has not yet commented on these reports, mediate briefings from aristotle, which have allegedly gone at it, decreasing credibility following a series of gaffs ortiz donald's quarter expense. rumor has it. he has put a big piece of duct tape over alex, say a rest over his mouth, at least when it comes to official statements. he's one of ukrainian president
12:18 pm
vladimir, is the landscape foremost advisors, and like his boss or a stove. it started his career a long way off from politics. i suppose was british, there's univision just through the ranks. he rose from military commentator to the speaker of ukraine's delegation for the men's protocols. these days he's been making even more public appearances than zalinski. but that doesn't mean you should take what he says at face value. in fact, a lot of it is straight up fake news. this is the corpse of a girl who was tortured to death. and gustavo, a swastika was burned unto her body. that girl was actually killed by the, as of battalion in mario pal, something the ukrainian media even already admitted once again, our stove, it refused to submit to reality. as pictures and videos began to emerge of over
12:19 pm
a 1000 ukrainian marines, surrendering near mario pull in my report as a result of a complex and very risky maneuver. units of the 36th marine brigade broke through enjoying the as of battalion, which made this happen professionally. the city's defense system has been reinforced over and over caves. loudest mouthpiece has made claims and had to backtrack on them, but perhaps it's not so shocking that such a person came to become a figurehead of lensky as administration. after all are a stove, it's chose to speak on behalf of a man. he doesn't even really like for goes to lead to lucas cooper. some countries could play man with the traits of zelinski, could have scored votes only from crazy mother. he, so unprofessional and stupid that he doesn't understand. you cannot, and a war unilaterally. a war can only be ended by either winning or losing constantly avoiding the truth, being untrue to his own principles. sounds like political opportunism at its finest . let's good life now to jake nathan is chief chair political investigates at
12:20 pm
blackstone intelligence thing. thank you very much for joining us on the program. a festival. was your reaction to these reports that the ukranian presidential advisor being suspended from speaking for documents landscape? well, i heard the reports as well. one of the things that i heard is that if he does continue to speak, that he's doing it on his own, not as an official capacity. however, i've seen just in the last 24 hours, more interviews from him, including one flanked by the office of the president of ukraine, out on the backboard behind him. so apparently they're letting him continue to speak some though they may turn around and say, if he continues to say these ridiculous unsupportable things, that was well, this is an unofficial capacity. this is his personal opinion i reposed, claiming that arrest of age has recently lost a lot of the ukrainian public's trust. what do you make of these allegations? well,
12:21 pm
it gives these frequent briefings to ukrainian public about the current state of the war and ukraine. but the fact is that they are brimming with half truths. they're brimming with lies that are meant to deceive the audience. and i think the ukrainian people are starting to see that he is what he's doing is he's basically waging psychological warfare against the ukrainian people. he's using propaganda to shape and control the minds of the public. this is a fellow who has the cunning of joseph goebbels, but also the clumsiness of iraq's former propaganda minister. the guy that was known as baghdad. bob, he just keeps shooting himself in the foot. he says things that are untrue because he's trying to achieve a specific goal and he's talked about this goal in one of his briefings back on march 7th. he said that it was crucial for the ukrainian people to be able to resist the psychological difficulties associated with the war. and so he said to the purpose of the briefings was going to give them the tools that they need to overcome,
12:22 pm
that this fair. so they don't succumb so they don't give up. and then he immediately went from there and rattling off a series of alleged troop losses and hardware losses by the russians that were obviously grossly inflated to make it appear that ukraine is dominating russia at every turn. and the facts on the ground is just so different. the people surely at this point are realizing that they are being fed a lot of propaganda. i get back in 2017. i was told that she was a military expert at that time, admitted he'd been lying for 3 years about kiana's actions and don't boss that quote, for the sake of propaganda. so how people actually taking him seriously, even quoting him all the time in western media, for example. well, it's so mutually beneficial. he gets what he wants out of it in the west gets what
12:23 pm
they want. they're all on the same page and you're correct he's. he's talked in multiple interviews about about using propaganda. in fact, in one interview that i watched with him, he said that you control the group of people talking about the ukrainian people by getting them to identify with a group that you yourself have the ability to define for them. so for example, he said, we need to communicate to the people where all ukrainian brothers, we have fought back the russian invasion, nothing scares us. were respected around the world are soldiers of the best in the world. and he went through and listed a series of specific actions that you take as a propagandist to trick the public into believing the propaganda. so he's waging psychological warfare, gives his own people check. my phone is the chief to our political investigator at blackstone intelligence. thing time many thanks for your time. i appreciate it.
12:24 pm
thank you. tennis players from russia and deliveries have officially been banned from competing at wimbledon. u. k. tennis officials say that decision was unavoidable, given the political situation, but they might review the suspension. if things do change, some of the excluded athletes, a high profile tennis play as a several, if the russians are ranked in the global top 30, including current wells, number one, daniel med videos, criminal spokesperson to meet your passcode, has condemned that suspension by the u. k. saying that wimbledon will be at a loss by refusing to host the players. has some reactions to that bond from social media uses. brushing tennis players are to be banned at wimbledon. that's me not watching it. then. keeping politics out of sports is obviously beyond the rush, fopes. i hope there are players who take wimbledon to court for this. this isn't about the russian tennis federation, but individual players who have a russian passport. it's like the world versus russia. now remember, tennis as
12:25 pm
a solo sport, let the people enjoy their sport with disgust this way, that is cash my professor, sensuality and fullness sports lecture. i thank you for joining us on the program. it's really good to see. and if you think wimbleton and other international competitions will indeed suffer from excluding such prominent place, probably not nicky. i don't think anybody really will notice method of his absence from wimbledon only tennis connoisseurs and he really will be glossed over. i'm not entirely sure he will be vander actually, because wimbledon is long. well remembered and sports tons, it's june, so a lot can happen between now and then. and the thing when will to may reconsider its decision. after all, it is pointless. let's face it. i mean, what they can hope to achieve by banding not just met the death, but sab lanka, and any russian or bell russian athlete is beyond me because i don't think medford have even lives in russia. think he lives in the south of france,
12:26 pm
but they are city suggesting that he will represent russia when he steps on to the court at wimbledon. that is nonsense, of course, because wimbledon players do not compete on behalf of their country that not representatives of their country playing as individuals. and so i think that is still time for wimbledon to reconsider this decision or such a suspension will certainly affect the careers that, that have top players like denny omega d f. as a, what alternatives do the russians half now? no, they don't have any of that, that they just will be excluded from wimberly if this band is pursued. so just that play the skip that tournament. they may play in the french, open them a play in the us open late to the show, but they simply won't be allowed wimbledon. we have to remind ourselves here that
12:27 pm
there is an ostracized zation of russia going on, not just in the world of school, but everywhere of course, businesses are pulled out of russia. it's not got so trivial that russian vodka isn't sold in supermarkets in britain at the moment. so there is this kind of rush of phobia going on. and anything that is associated with russia is automatically deemed bad. now that translates into sport and sport has, in a certain way, understandably been outlawed by most of sports, major governing organizations. and you know, won't get into the intricacies of that. but i think most of our viewers will understand the reasons for that. but when it comes down to individuals, i think we're playing a different game here because we're punishing on say, way. i mean wimbledon is punishing individuals for committing no crime whatsoever.
12:28 pm
their only transgression is to have been born in russia or by the russia. what the, i mean, like he said, he's not the 1st span of russian athlete. think lab was supposed to got russian soccer team. it was a lever, made some qualifying for the men's well cut. russians were excluded from the paralympics, dozens of other major international events. but do you think banning russian athletes can actually change the political situation? if not, is that perhaps a different medicine here? it, i don't think it's a different motive. i think it's a follow you leader type of thing. they don't know what else to do, so they're thinking well in wimbledon, i imagine that organizes are at the moment. thinking well should, we'll shouldn't wait. well, we might as well been russians because the rest of the world, the sport is excluding russia. now thing is nicky. let me add a postscript to this. this isn't going to go away any time soon. or there is conflict going on as we speak. of course, but when that ultimately reaches conclusion, russia will be still exclude and embellish,
12:29 pm
will also be excluded from the world of sport. this is going to happen and will maintain for well 30 years. so it'll be the rest of my life time for sure. russia will have to come to terms with the fact that it will not be able to compete in world cups or a lympics summer or winter, or in any of the major international tournaments across the whole spectrum of sport . russia will be as excluded as south africa was in the 1970s natives of cash, more profess that facility and former sports lecturer many thanks for your time. really appreciate you and thank and thank you for joining us there. and i see international web back in 30 minutes with ah,
12:30 pm
ah, a wrong one, i just don't know if you have to shape out this day because the kid an engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground.
