rejected it at the last moment so now his only recourse in the legal system is to go to the european court of human rights but he evidently doesn't expect that the european court of human rights would be able to help him and of course this is all because of him being wanted for questioning on allegations of sexual assault in sweden no charges of course of being brought they're looking at sweden is looking to extradite him just a question. and he has always been that if sent to sweden he would be extradited on from that to the united states he's pointed out that the united states is a country where the death penalty is still in force and they have also been reports all through this eighteen month process and confirm date that the u.s. is already building a case against him for espionage the stakes are very high in this it's really a last ditch attempt to avoid being extradited this case is coming to a clay. method with tara forth before now we did actually have a chance to talk to her julian assange just mother thought of christina's songe she told us that it's her son being abandoned by his native country

of the european parliament. joining us live from london we're hearing that julian assange is preparing to appeal the european court of he to the european court of human rights i should say against this extradition how likely do you think brit is going to be successful. i think it's very unlikely i mean he's gone through this long appeal process in the u.k. he's lost his final appeal today as we've heard my understanding is he can put an appeal into the european court of justice but that is have to accept the paperwork and i think that's extremely likely they're going to do that because this whole european arrest warrant thing is driven by the european union and you know the closer integration of all the e.u. states so i think it's unlikely that they'll entertain it and i would assume that he's going to be extradited to sweden sometime between the twenty eighth of june the eighth of july that's interesting because the european court of human rights has banned britain from extraditing a terrorist suspect abu qatada to jordan now is it possible that as far as can be considered more dangerous than a terrorist suspect. yes some of the way that our legal system w

>> in response to the criticism, swedish authorities have said the european court of human rights wouldrvene if julian assange was to face "in human or degrading treatment or unfair trial" in the u.s. >> i'm not sure i understand that. european court of human rights only has jurisdiction over europe. once he is in the u.s., there's not much they can do. the european court recently came down with a major decision with muslim men. what they said was so negative and so outrageous, in my view, and such a denial of rights that i would not depend on european court of human rights. they basically disregarded the fact that people spend years in solitary in the united states, that they get licenses, that they have where they cannot speak to each other. despite all of that evidence, the european court of human rights just approved the extradition of people from the united kingdom. >> let's go to julian assange in november after he lost his initial appeal. >> i have not been charged with any crime in any country. despite this, the european arrest warrant is so restrictive, that it prevents u.k. co

the supreme court which offered him a picture of him an appeal but then rejected it at the last moment so now his only recourse in the legal system is to go to the european court of human rights but he evidently doesn't expect that the european court of human rights would be able to help him and of course this is because of him being wanted for questioning on allegations of sexual assault in sweden no charges have been brought they're looking at sweden is looking to extradite him just for questioning and he has always feared that it's ten to sweden. would be extradited on from that to the united states he's pointed out that the united states is a country where the death penalty is still in force and they have also been reports all through this eighteen month process and confirm date that the u.s. is already building a case against him. the stakes are very high in this it's really a last ditch attempt to avoid being extradited this case is coming to a close. laura smith reporting there proceeded by sarah for someone with well we did a manager speak to julian a song just mother here on our christine a songe she told us it's being abandoned by his native country that's now led t

last chance then to escape being handed over to sweden is now appealing direct to the european court of human rights more on that in the coming hours. egypt's highest court this afternoon ordering the dissolution of the country's islamist dominated parliament after a ruling a third of m.p.'s were elected illegally and another court decision meantime allowing hosni mubarak's former premier to stay in the presidential race despite massive protests against it in the run off to take place this weekend. and a showdown between russia's top investigator and opposition journalists involving death threat accusations a bit of good news for a change is resolved peacefully the bush shaking hands the matter is closed. with egypt at the crossroads for his future now talks to a renowned middle east academic about how the arab spring saga reset. tariq ramadan you're a professor at contemporary. oxford university and also you are a professor at the faculty of the stomach studies in qatar and it's great to have you with us today sir so i know the situation in north africa and the middle east it's very complex and the

well the sources that i have haven't told me yet whether he is going to plight of european court of human rights which is the final option here in britain but certainly an f.b.i. indictment is currently being written of course the person accused of leaking the cable gate. element of wiki leaks bradley manning his dates perhaps in november and january and that case in full flow he won some kind of victory recently but president obama. the other day talking about denying that he deliberately leaks information for electoral advantage one of those pieces was terra tuesday where president obama chooses who to die for my kind of year book using drones i think president obama can and will do with a fillip if he well he must be thinking if he gets extra died from sweden what a great coup it will be for his electorate in the upcoming u.s. elections besides the how of obama could benefit from it what kind of freight do you think is ahead for us if he does end up in the u.s. . we know the united states believes in torture we know that president obama came to power saying it close going time of day didn't d

that she would make the proper argument in the court's eyes so songe now is the choice of obeying the decision or appealing to the european court of human rights in strasburg and was signed has not been charged with any crime in sweden and supporters are concerned the extradition to sweden would lead to extradition to the united states where as we know a grand jury is reportedly deciding whether or not to charge a sign over wiki leaks unauthorized disclosures of classified information don't really keep you guys updated with any new information that comes out but it's a case that you have to watch because if a sign is brought to the u.s. this could have a chilling effect on the freedom of the press. our time for show and tell on tonight's program the earlier this week we spoke about the possibility of an internet bill of rights with julian sanchez now he suggested that we shouldn't need new regulations because our rights should already be covered in the original bill of rights that's in the constitution so i want to know what you think if america needs a bill of rights for the web producer for treason i sent you to find out what you had to say

we could see happening here one is that the legal team can make an application to the european court of human rights to they can make an application to the high court preventing that extradition order but that's still pretty unlikely that that would be.
