obligation to extradite him to sweden to a decision doesn't change that says far as the former foreign and commonwealth office here is concerned nothing has changed of course things have changed for ourselves and they have changed and that's just a part of that statement that we heard earlier from the ecuadorian foreign ministry . to lose no time and no national or could be used in this way in any intrusive way in any diplomatic facilities any place in the world to these should be used to threaten the slack now the sovereignty of these grenier they're not true because it is not and they call this summit to try to deal with this directly so that despair does not go unpunished this is really the lower we've heard britain's official reaction to be asylum news ultimately saying that it won't really change and affect tell us more about. well yes i mean we already heard from britain earlier this morning that they wouldn't be granting julian assange or safe passage and that is absolutely essential if he is to leave the embassy here behind me and gets to ecuador because as things stand and we now know as the british

and then they go after the person who who made the information public and the attitude of the foreign office is evidently that this is changed nothing and that they've even you know they've they've started almost a war of words with that could tell who are who are responding very much in kind and how do you view this this attitude of the foreign office i think it's. i just beggars belief that suddenly we move from a nation that protects the freedom of speech you know it's one of the founding principles on which great britain is based and we suddenly move into the role that's been traditionally associated with the south american jungle you know of of don't don't fix the problems that anyone points out instead you know catch the people who are speaking of and throw them in jail and in so you know i mean one of the things the songes quite rightly worried about is that that he could be facing the death penalty in america this is not the be the normal behavior of the english speaking nations we were always the champions of liberty and for us to be needing a lesson from plucky little ecuador on ho

has been completely different what we've heard from the foreign and commonwealth office is a statement which basically says that this hasn't changed anything they say that under the laws of the u.k. without sons having exhausted all options of appeal the british authorities are now under a binding obligation to extradite him to sweden they remain under that binding obligation no matter which country in the world has offered him asylum those dishes and doesn't say that they also say that they remain committed to a negotiated solution that allows britain to carry out its obligations under the extradition treaty this is a relationship the one between the u.k. in ecuador that looks to be deteriorating as we speak the u.k. previously i sent a letter to quito which has been in touch for to do as a as a threat to storm the embassy and get a sound out by any means necessary that didn't go down very well with the ecuadorians a tool they said that it was at its there was no fixing of a civilized nation so really a deteriorating relationship that we're seeing here. believe that with no national a

but the does not mean that he is out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination the british foreign office has threatened to storm the ecuadorian embassy in london and take by force the foreign minister for ecuador speaking live from quito the capital of ecuador saying that ecuador is a sovereign state that no country particularly the u.k. has any right to blackmail threaten or act in an aggressive way in diplomatic channels saying that up until now ecuador and the u.k. had enjoyed a diplomatic friendship but now sees clouds looming on the horizon of course it was in just two months ago now the julian assange put in his or his request for asylum in ecuador now the question is can he get safe passage from the ecuadorian embassy in london to an airport to get himself on a plane to go to ecuador well addressing threats now from the u.k. that it was prepared to storm the ecuadorian embassy to get its hands on a songe foreign minister pitino to make sure those threats do not go unpunished. national law can be used in this way in an interesting way in any diplomatic facilities in any place of th

here in london britain has threatened to storm this embassy if julian assange isn't released the foreign office his says that they can give one week's notice and then that diplomatic status of this mission would be revoked and they would be able to come in and arrest them but of course they then said that they do want it diplomatically agreeable solution although agreeable to him is not clear at the moment the foreign minister ricardo patino of ecuador has come out and and expressed his intense displeasure at that he says it's unbecoming of a civilized and law abiding state and he says that it's being interpreted as an unfriendly and hostile act on behalf of precedent of course this makes this whole thing as complicated as it was before because julian assange is still liable to be arrested whenever he leaves the embassy regardless of whether later on today we find out that he has been granted asylum in ecuador has been inside the embassy for almost two months now and we've been coming down here intermittently jaring that time just to see what's going on a lot of the time there's been a few supp

remains a genuine danger for britain the foreign office has said that ecuador's decision did not changeanything one of the obligations to extradite assigned to sweden will still be carried out the u.k. said that even if assad is given asylum he will not be granted safe passage from the country all of this our live breaking news for you here on r t it's a pleasure to have you with us. thursday has also been a big decision day for another pariah who actually appeared as a guest on julian a songes program of bahrain's most prominent human rights activist not build our job he's been sentenced to three years in prison for organizing and taking part in illegal gatherings artie's joins us now with more details on this. why it's always good to see you thanks for coming back on appeal to our job already serving a three month term for antigovernment comments on twitter now the latest development in the case can you bring us up to speed. yes it's been a slightly different decision in the case of bill rogers of the enemy of the state if you want to put it like that of bahrain he has coincidentally

i spoke with the foreign office earlier today. they are concerned about stuff falling into the wrong hands. we have seen reports about a photographer who kidnapped by a group that was not consisting of syrians. they were international jihadists. the group that kidnapped them shot them, but they managed to escape. there are people whose agenda seems to be not necessarily a syrian nationalist one. let's not forget that syria has got some lethal chemical weapons, nerve gas weaponize into missiles. these are largely secured at the moment. if the president assad regime does crumble and fall, who is going to look after it? how was it going to be secure. how you stop it from falling into the wrong hands. if you look at libya last year, the amount of weaponry that was loosened from libyan arsenals has ended up in the hands of groups in west africa that has changed the power balance in mali. >> thanks. the second look at some of the other stories making news. soldiers have been shot dead by a man wearing an afghan uniform. the americans we

foreign and commonwealth office called the decision disappointing and foreign secretary william hague said it changed nothing it does not change the fundamentals of the case we will not allow. safe passage out of the united kingdom nor is there any legal basis for us to do so hague also denied any suggestion that british police would storm the embassy so over in territory under international law to arrest but that's not what ecuador inferred from a letter it says was delivered through the british embassy in quito in response played hardball. when it was no national law could be used in this way in any intrusive way in any diplomatic facilities any place in the world it shouldn't be used to threaten or blackmail the sovereignty of any other country and they called a summit to try to deal with this threat so that this fact doesn't go unpunished. the scary part the part that i found completely incredible and outrageous is the british threats to actually go in and try and extract during the sun but i must say to see british police surrounding that embassy was it an act of intimidation tha

. >> i expect that the foreign office knows this was a mistake. and there is obvious both practical and legal objections to lift this. and the practicality is in russia you dispose diplomats to similar treatment. >> so julian assange's d diploamacy with no mediation in sight. >> this is in a serious diplomatic round. south africa riot killing at least a dozen men. the shooting happened at the lonmin marikana mine, not far from johannesburg. the scenes of how the regime dealt with protests. >> trouble at the mine had been brewing for days. weapons drawn and already used. dispute over the wages. we work hard, this miner said, but we can't afford to send our kids to school. all we want is money. we are not fighting anybody. thousands of south africans who worked in the mine had been fighting between rival unions. 10 of them, police and miners dead. the police tried to break up the protest. >> we asked them to leave, but then i don't want to explain to you if you they don't want this. what i told you today we are ending this matter. >> the police had

foreign officer and three senior military leaders. the vest blew up when the soldiers were attacked. the men were based out of fort carson in colorado. >>> a vacaville police officer is on administrative leave after he shot and killed a man with a knife. now he happen -- now it happened yesterday afternoon on merchant street in front of the police station and city hall. officers say a man was acting suspicious when they went outside to approach him the suspect pulled out a knife. the officer ordered him to put it down. when he didn't he was shot and killed. >>> a campbell fries electronic store is out of mer channel this dice morning. three people broke into the store on hamilton avenue just after midnight on wednesday. the thieves returned twice the same night. investigators say they made off with $163,000 worth of ipods, ipads, and iphones. police are warning people to be aware of apple products sold online at a drastically lower price. >>> the three-day music festival -- coming up why some people say it's pushing other long running

remains a real danger that's for britain the foreign office said that ecuador's decision changes nothing one of the obligations to extradite assange to sweden will still be carried out earlier the u.k. said that even if a songes given asylum won't be granted safe passage from the country in turn sweden has now summoned acquittals ambassador calling the asylum decision and except. now thursday has also been a big decision day for another pariah who actually appeared as a guest on julian assange choose r.t. program grains most prominent human rights activist in the bill her job has been sentenced to three years in prison for organizing and taking part in the legal gatherings and reports. there has been a rather different decision in the case of the enemy of the state now below rajab in bahrain he coincidentally met julian assange for an interview shown on this channel on r.t. in may he has however been given a three year prison sentence by a court in bahrain for being involved in and for calling for illegal anti government protests when the sentence was given though he was already in priso

. >> i think the foreign office played this exactly right. they have been talking behind the scenes, quiet diplomacy, for something like two months. i think there does come a moment where you actually have to say, "these are the options, and by the way, we do have this act of parliament, which gives us the right to lift diplomatic immunity when it is being abused. >> to the protesters, this is all about wikileaks and american vengeance, but in truth, none of the charges framed against himself far relate to that. >> it is brought to our understanding that this is not about mr. assange's activities with wikileaks in the united states of america. he is wanted in sweden on allocation of serious sexual offenses. >> he would also face british charges if he left the embassy while united states has yet to show its hand legally. with neither the uk or acquittal in governments likely to back down, this seems to be a chance of a prolonged standoff, from which only high charging international lawyers might benefit. meanwhile, julian assange may not be in

british foreign office spokesman said the u.k. has a legal obligation to extradite him to face questioning over allegations of sexual offenses and we remain determined to fulfill this obligation, he says. but julian assange fears sweden may pass them on to the united states because of the publication of classified american documents by his organization wikileaks. in ecuador there's been an angry response to the latest developments. >> today we received a threat by the united kingdom, a clear end written threat to the vacant former embassy in london if ecuador refuses to hand over julian assange. we want to make it absolutely clear we are not the british colony and that the times of the colonies are over. >> for now, the diplomatic scandal continues. in london, the police had been poised to arrest julian assange of the amenities steps foot outside the embassy. ecuador's decision on his bid for political asylum is thought to be imminent. bbc news. >> we ask for your comments on this story. here are some of your thoughts. this is fro

a small office to deal with a very big problem the russian foreign ministry has said that the idea that is being put forward to create security zones unilaterally is an idea that will not work that cannot be any kind of unilateral actions and that what is needed is a collective action by the international community action that is based on the document that was adopted at the geneva conference earlier this year in addition to this moscow has said that it is concerned by reports of more evidence that is coming forward that syrian rebels are receiving the weapons that have been smuggled in from libya in addition to this we also know now that the opposition is using british intelligence that is hoping that with its rebel attacks on government forces so a lot of new evidence coming to the fore and certainly as the situation in syria does not seem likely to hold anytime soon don't forget to visit our web site for more on the stories we're covering on their excluding anger in the song it's a young girl with mental health problems was beaten and charged with blasphemy for reportedly banning pag
