4:03 pm
a bad criminal responsibility for the following international crimes committed on the territory of the state of palestine from at least the 8th of october, 2023 sum up. so the russian prosecutor in the hague with wants odessa to you dad, compare the monsters of him off to the soldiers of the i d f, the most moral ami in the world with wonderful data to you. compare between the mos that mooted bud butchered, right? and kidnapped top brothers and sisters and the id soldiers who are fighting adjustable that is on power allowed in morality, that he's on, matched as the prime minister of israel. i reject with disgust the hague, prosecute as comparison between democratic israel and the mass murderers of homos. this is a complete distortion of reality. this is exactly what the new anti semitism looks like. it is moved from the campuses in the west to the colt in the hague. what a shame this calm as a surprise reports about the eyes,
4:04 pm
the season tension is happens circulating since last month. but it did come as a blow. oh, believed about these really political establishment has gone wild, slamming the international criminal court. we have not seen such a show he bulk or seen hatred of jews like that displayed, but according to hague, since nazi propaganda. then now this also spoke in the name of morality and there was nothing there besides and so i assume it is an important for them auto arrest warrants for all of us. i have instructed the immediate establishment of a special command center at the foreign ministry with all professional entities aimed at fighting against the decision intended primarily to shackle israel's hands and prevent it from exercising its right to self defense. the drawing parallels between the leaders of a democratic country determined to defend itself from despicable terror to leaders of blood. there's to tell organization is a deep distortion of justice and blade and moral bankruptcy. the prosecutors
4:05 pm
position to apply for arrest warrants is in itself a crime of historic proportions to be remembered for generations. the ice ac became a rock. there is a hard place as well. and it turn yeah, he's on the tremendous pressure on the home front. he risk seeing his rolling call lucian crumble as allies threatening to rebel over his head, lean house, the war and gaza. and he's rapidly losing public support to has regular protests against he's liter shape mount across the country. unlike is really officials, many citizens see a possible arrest. international domestic has a fair faith for the prime minister, who fails to protect his relays on october 7th, and has since failed to bring all the hostages home nearly 8 months on its initial pressure. it gets b, b, o, these really governments of today will just help him to stay in power. we need him to kick him out from inside. i think he said has a century,
4:06 pm
i think he's just trying to keep it safe to keep himself out of trouble. and meanwhile, is living everything. yeah. full of us. i think it, it's not. and should not stop. we'd be be that they all have to be able to do. all the government is freely knows, no kidding people in palestine and with no reason, they all have to go to prison. all, all of them one by one. but who says natania, who actually cares what is riley's want? he's clearly more worried about securing support from washington. d. i. c. c for security is application for arrest warrants against is really, leaders is outrages and letting me be clear, whatever this prosecutor might imply. there is no equivalence, none between e's real and come us. we will always stand with israel against the threats to it. security. israel has made it clear the eyes. this is warren's approved by a panel of judges, or in fact,
4:07 pm
any war and will not stop the prime minister and he's government's war on guys on the news that's made. world headlines will hardly make changes on the ground. but it's certainly policy, no pressure on these really is and they, american allies who are becoming increasingly isolated as the global majority rallies full palestine. where are you from ocean ah, how t reporting from jerusalem? well, how about us is also pushed back the possible rest of it, the, the is and says the entire political and military establishment of israel should be the ones on trial that. meanwhile, the ear piece to be pretty divided on the issue. some of the blocks members like belgium and slovenia support, the cc move stating that every perpetrate that must be held accountable. a crime is committed in gaza that must be prosecuted at the highest level regardless of the perpetrators war, crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of israel and
4:08 pm
palestine from at least 7th of october. 2020 fleet must be persecuted independently and impartially, regardless of the perpetrators. accountability is crucial to prevent atrocities in guaranteed peace. well to london now with a high court that has grown to julian his own to the right to appeal his extradition to the us with a he faces life in prison if he's convicted on those spin us charges, that the whistle blower has a renew. jones to fight for his freedom activists fear russell was at the scene and the verdict was annexed in both as this report. the julius owen's case a bit of a surprise because julian has apparently been given leave to appeal
4:09 pm
to everybody's expect. the next day. of course the ruling a means that assigns will not be expedited within 24 hours, but essentially which is good but essentially doesn't change anything because it means that he can continue appealing, which he has been doing for years. and he's being persecuted from all the way back in 2010 when all of this started after his website, which leak, so released the information up. it was basically expose the us military's actions abroad in particular and the rock and of down to sound, which we'll get to. and the 2nd and all of a sudden, after that rate charges, random rate charges appear in sweden where he was at the moment at that moment. and after that that prompted his move to the united kingdom. and then the courts there ruled that he should be expedited to sweden,
4:10 pm
the were appeals which he failed. and then he entered the ecuadorian embassy in 2012 seeking asylum, which was granted. and he spent 7 years there now fast forward to 2009, seeing that we're doing and the fee assistant wages asylum status. and that's from goodness authorities arrested in face on him breaching his bail conditions all the way back in 2012. so he had to, he was sentenced to 50 weeks and prisoners. at the same time, us authorities were always on this case, the one that had expedited to the us where he of course spaces as spin us charges, now pass or the again, the 2021. the courts and the careful with that's no astonish, cannot be expedited to the united states because there he risk losing his life based on the harsh us present conditions. the u. s. government been filed in the appeal and convinced the court there that he would be treated humanely. now there was another appeal and now it's been finally sets that he can continue appealing in
4:11 pm
the u. k. because the only other option was so if today it was a negative response, he could only appeal to the european court of human rights. so he's continuing to peeling uh, within the u. k. so it doesn't really change the fact that his persecution continues spot and good news, of course, for the family that he's not in the united states. let's hear more from his wife outside before what she said. so we spent a long time hearing the united states putting lipstick on a pig. but the judges did not quiet, but united states should read the situation and drop this case now. now is the moment to do it. just abandon the shameful attack on journalists on the press on the public that has been going on for 14 years, of course, student as long as he's not an american citizen. and you know, he's australia and he also holds ecuadorian citizenship in networks. and so it is
4:12 pm
determined to secure his extradition to the us just took us through the logic of the s. yes, of course will, because it's their secret that julie and the sons' expose not even the he expose that it was his website which links because it's west full blowers who go on there and basically up. busy the, the information that they got or that was linked. so this is basically the persecution of a publisher or a journalist. the few will thoughts washington does accused him of conspiring with us army intelligence officer chelsea manning to hack into pensive on computers and access those military files and diplomatic tables and then release. and then uh, and also just to take you through some of the revelations that we saw again in 201-2011 was really the main leaks there were actually describe the ask and, and iraq, the war diaries were described as the largest security features of the client and us military history and they expose the food, the space on the us military's actions in iraq. and i've gotten a some huge death,
4:13 pm
salt hard, good thing of civilian. so of course, and this was picked up by the western press that was very damaging and also very embarrassing information on the surface because of the leaks continues. this was a, then there were also a secret diplomatic cables that were leaked and 260000 miles from embassies, us embassies around the world. so far as a lot of people, a lot of diplomats, us and military officials and us officials in general. they were very angry and embarrassed by what came out and then add to that also the guantanamo bay files, where they expose the torture and unnecessary the tension of hundreds of people who received 0, no fair trial there, which happens essentially in secret. so of course this was very, very damaging for, for the united states. julian, the sanchez always argued that it's very important to inform the world of what the united states are doing in the senseless loss of life around the world. so
4:14 pm
something needs to be done, something needs to happen for that to stop. and also a lot of people are having an issue with the fact that washington is using the espionage act and charging them with espionage. because before this was used, not when it comes to during the less the publishes, if a government work or for example leaks and information. so government work of another country. but here you haven't, a publisher being persecuted for, simply releasing information that was acquired by someone else. so that's why a lot of people are so size in the freedom of speech, a false sense, and it's all about freedom of speech and freedom of expression, them. what is this all about? so that's what, where we're hoping that it will come down to that and we'll see a change because last month, joe biden, the us president did say that he's considering at the request of the australian government to drop the case a drop the charges and allow him to go back home to australia, we'll see if that happens again, election season. this would look good on joe biden, especially now with everything that's happening in the world their own as well. let's. let's see what happens,
4:15 pm
but the appeal process continues. well let's stick with the story now in cross to the format ecuadorian console in london, fidel and if i as a thank you very much for joining us on, on the international. i'm back in 2012. you helped julian this song with his asylum at the ecuadorian embassy that you know him very well. what is your reaction to what we've heard in tombs of today's verdict that the london high quote today is it a good day today? uh, i see this whole full after such a long war for uh, trying to stop cheese. uh extradition. uh finally we, we see some, some sense in that position of the judges. this is a very,
4:16 pm
very important matter of seeking. it showed us we'll be, discuss, are the highest quotes in the united kingdom. so being this a political case, i've seen everything is possible and that we feel the most helpful, the solution would be in then stopped us from your point of view. what do you think it was? perhaps the key element that the defense put forward that may have swayed the court in london was my view is that the, the political situation in general tense, has changed since 5 years ago when julian was keeping up from the embassy, the victim pain outside his support has built up to the point that even the judges feel that he will be ready just to
4:17 pm
allow the specs for the ship and they're trying to uh, i think come clean at the very end and say they allowed every single risk. so the start of the volume for julia as defense, you know that to, to defend himself. so the, most of the media that 5 years ago were silent or were even citing. we, the to dance persecutors, now oppose these expedition of tonya. he's called home through the a bunch of people, so low. now ease of posting distribution, i'm up for entry also actively doing the come. i take the strategies in order to stop the solution. so this is a political case. this is not a legal case. what these thoughts inside the code is not as important as what's happening outside the pressure that everybody's doing to stop the solution.
4:18 pm
i think that's what in the end go to these were. so you mentioned that the pressure on the fact that astray knew it now seems to me back into the songs we have destroyed in 5 minutes. the talking about the us dropping this case sort of giving him clemency. hey, we've heard e v us present, joe biden, potentially talking about doing exactly that. how likely do you think it is a fight and will want to perhaps drop this before the november election? the employee takes everything as possible and the thing is possible. so uh that was the main demand from, from the one from his family, from she's, she's lawyer does even this case shouldn't be discussed at all. and if it's joe finding any other candidates, and that's no one to a very,
4:19 pm
very hot title that being the time of the election. and even after that, uh they, they have to have posted studies invited via the president. she has. she has the power off dropping the case. that's it. and that's it for the presidency united states house. we very much hope that that would be, that would be the case at the core of this case is the ability for the press the habits, freedom to report from whistle blowers to be able to feel that they can let the wills know about it, miscarriages of just facial problems of the well, do you think that this latest ruling in london could impact up to the discussion around those rights? well, i've seen spoken distribution. these is what could make
4:20 pm
a difference as we dispense now. the possibilities for we should realize and for genetics to exercise, freedom of expression of publication, the much narrow then before because look what happened to julia sense, look what happened to just the money they with threats and we'd spending the lives in prison. so the only reason why to the subject has to be extradited. yes, he's right now because the defense has managed to say that you know, such but you know, be american is going to be a e disadvantage. so is no glad to all the constitution of rights that
4:21 pm
any other person in united states and joyce and united no, no united states citizen would not enjoy that. that's. does she mean that's to say that united states could x. so does anybody apply a, the punishment of the lows, but depriving from the productions that's, that's something that is, is vague warning. and i think the, this is the more important change for, for the, on the suppression in this, in this generation. and they wanted, they wanted to set the precedent in order to scare people when that discount was as low as they wanted to schedule. at least. i think they have much to do a lot so far. just putting to that i sent you the case a case of that some will look, i'm sure we will expect to get into this case is a fall from over. thank you very much. but joining us, that is the form, ecuador,
4:22 pm
and the console. in london. we don't know about us. thanks as well to raul now with the supreme aid has announced 5 days of morning. this is off the present. at abraham motor, i see on foreign minister were confirmed 2 died in a helicopter crash in the north west of it wrong. the team accompanying number also perished. when that helicopter came down on sunday, the red crescent has reported that everyone on board the had a cup and died in the 1st moments of the crash, but the circumstances surrounding the accident. still a note, this is despite the fact that they're all claims that a technical failure could have been the reason. meanwhile, you're writing government has given assurances, but the tragedy will not affect. it's what racing, you know, fatigue in these tragic incident. the rent in nation lost a sincere and valuable servant for him. the welfare and satisfaction of the people

4:25 pm
a full my indian ambassador to jordan in libya. and it's his belief that the weather conditions or technical problems were on the at cost with the cause of this tragic accident. the sort of i can think of this was very enough, but now very there was really no vision, bathroom jeremy had was very difficult. and i went that way into that. the helicopter really took off and went through it. it is also possible that all the text me doesn't force that only because it's an older day about the order to head to costco for about 15 years and a brand new who wants to go to and because of the sections that apparently they're not getting all the parts that are required is that block of the deal to talk to in the particular sense of as a member of the brain, such as a member of the same grand cooperation organization. it of course uh does have problems with the rest, especially the united states, and has been section by them for a very long time because of its nuclear program. most of the regional countries
4:26 pm
have offered assistance also, they had offered a toyota. so i think that in that sense the yes, you can see that but have some of the rest you are not. but i, i think some bad video pan union was requested to even use it like i'm going to be provided. and they did. i agree to that around the block has done on the lab and only have declined a national state of morning. many countries are also expressing that's supposed to, but the tragic death of uranium president, remembering him as a political strong man and also an outstanding individual fellow brakes. members, china and south africa amongst those sending back condolences. a date on which on behalf of the chinese government, and it's the poll we expressed, solid jeep condolence, sold the death of president. but you see in the helicopter accidents since taken office of president, vice see has made important contributions to maintaining iran, security and stability. promote and national development and prosperity and also
