marks received asylum in the u.k. . obviously there's all these all political philosophers in fact obama's aunt received asylum in the united states in boston she was first denied it is ago then two years ago she was granted asylum so asylum is not an unusual thing it's an appropriate legal remedy for mr sawyer he's within his rights to pursue it in fact the universal declaration of human rights recognizes that every person has the right to seek political asylum and i think his case is a perfect example one he is certainly being persecuted this is a case of when held under house arrest for five hundred days without ever being charged for questioning he offered to provide answers to questions via skype there is no need for this extradition this looks like a set up process and really he is taking the only approach he has to break up this set up and to try to get out of the stranglehold they had in this in this this legal persecution system just funny what next. well you know the united states i graduated law school in one

the u.k. government it's disgraceful display during a hearing. on her dog in the last hearing that the supreme court the court of appeal would introduce new evidence that the appeal absolutely on hudl. should have protested that the mentally ill the ship existed to the us that the the coals are being denied to incite murder upon my son that should have protested that the grand jury being run by the us does not achieve a goal prices it has no judge will prosecute is the distance the tool is allowed and the jury comes to approve u.s. military contractors as it pertains to older guys things they've done nothing in fact that i did at the base of the us into securing my son all right christina johns are doing films as mother talking to us on the line from queensland australia thanks very much indeed for your views. thank you very much anytime. car stokley the artist and wiki leaks activist as asylum after door is the best chance for silence to continue his work in making revelations about the u.s. . we're not so worried about him going to sweden actua

lost his extradition appeal to the u.k. supreme court at best it could delay his removal from the u.k. but either way he said if there is ultimately handing over to sweden his likely to be detained immediately that's what i said himself in his first public comments since he took refugee in the ecuadorian embassy on tuesday after having spent eighteen months under house arrest without charge that we could be excited to add it's not luminous tradition to sweden that worries him the most but he's possible removal to the united states where he claims he is the subject of grand jury proceedings he also said that the u.k. and sweden deliberately slowed down his case to allow the u.s. time to drop charges against him for leaking hundreds of thousands of secret u.s. documents while ecuador might hoop to be seen as a defender of the city and ideas by accepting the world's number one whistleblower as a political refugee it could be made to suffer for its actions for example it's been suggested that there is trade with the united stat

u.k. supreme court rejected his appeal against the expedition really a stunt in his legal team we're running out of options now the next big question that everyone's asking right now is why ecuador again a lot of speculation that we do you know that julian assange had previously met the president of ecuador he interviewed him for a show the runs a nazi and it seemed to hit it off in that meeting just take a listen but now i. think. it is really a pleasure to meet you julian least in this way and. to the club of the persecuted . thank you you. thank. thank you. yes thank you. that's something we have to avoid every day. but you heard the president he's expressed that he's a fan of wiki leaks saying welcome to the club of the persecuted but will in the songes period first. this well we're going to have to wait and see or not but of course he could face arrest a breach of his bell conditions so the stakes remain extremely high here for julian assange cars are thinking about more over to you k

extradition in the u.k. we are all too aware of that view abuses of the u.s. u.k. extradition treaty although mr a son has been trapped in the u.k. under dangerous circumstances he has at least had the freedom to apply for political asylum. it is in this context that julian has made the difficult decision to seek refuge inside the ecuadorian embassy to ask for asylum. julian will remain in the embassy under the protection of the ecuadorian government all evidence for his application is being assembled processed. please if you want further information. accurate information about these issues see debbie debbie debbie justice for and that's justice for the for the stock. thank you very much. but. i really can't answer any of these three meetings with you and. then i. don't. see that. i'm a member of the jury or if you don't see a lot from moscow and you're also watching the live pictures there from london just outside the steps as you can see in the background of the ecuadorian embassy where julian assange continues to await a response about his request to be granted

well i mean the european financial crisis the u.k. now looks for nuclear investment following concerns of a shortfall britain is bucking the post fukushima trend and searching out foreign help for an energy boost. it's ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital now wiki leaks founder julian assange is ignoring a request from police in london to report for extradition procedures to have him sent to sweden the deadline has passed and the whistleblower remains in ecuador's embassy and waiting for the latin american country to decide on his plea for political asylum reporting from london ortiz laura smith. this is what's called a surrender notice basically it's a letter that's delivered to the person in question saying that they have to attend the police station when and where they say essentially to hand yourself in we received a statement from the police which said that this surrender notice was a normal next step in the extradition process if as he has now fails to surrender then he will be liable for arrest but the key thin

yes in the u.k. where there is austerity he was laughed off the stage at that it doesn't appear as though has his keynesian notions i'm working on that idea has any play at all either charles no max it it i think the problem with the neo keynesian uproots is that there's no way to differentiate between throwing money away and actually doing something useful with it so like you know here in the united states about thirty percent of medicare is fraud or completely unproductive you know multiple tests and basically a form of financial skimming and so if we're just borrowing a bunch of money to throw away for fraud in financial skimming then of course we're not going to get anything for the money and of course this goes back to the idea that if we were going out for a couple trillion dollars into the economy then it would have been better just to write checks in the hand of two households charles just met him recently run out the financial chickens are coming home to rist as we say around the world at th

from now from the u.k. the unemployment level there fell to by fifty one thousand to just over two point six million and that's in the three months to april and according to the office for national statistics the jobless rate is now at eight point two percent and the number of people in work grows to just over twenty nine million making a little largest quarterly increase since august of two thousand and ten. and of course from the. banks are now struggling to raise cash to safeguard against europe's debt crisis it's in these economy is in recession and is expected to contract one point four percent this year and this makes a really difficult for borrowers to repay loans and it's forcing lenders to. capital to safeguard themselves. but and this is what i have for this hour always a pleasure marina many thanks indeed. the headlines in just a moment with me will research a then the ongoing crisis in syria that comes into sharp focus in just a moment of. world . science technology innovation all the latest dev

the u.k. government, the euro zone countries need to do more with stability in the market and take medium and hwang term debts to take sense of the euro zone. that will involve sharing greater powers. something the u.k. should be involved in. we have a clear view. we put forward arguments and protect the u.k. economy. >> every hour of every day somebody gets killed by a weapon that has been irresponsibly traded from one country to another. next week the arms trade negotiations start in new york. will the prime minister guarantee the british delegation will fight -- and police and security apparatus to you be used for internal repression but also ammunition which is vital. it is bullets that killed. >> we backed the arms trade treaty and lobby vigorously on that issue on the specific points. >> was subject to -- when the river darwin crest their banks at the same time. and the emergency service working through the night and particularly what came out in the morning. and -- >> i join my hon. fri

the chancellor of the exchequer in the u.k. he had just imposed a new group as it's called the granny tax which is another wholesale fact from savers to the speculators this is five billion pounds on top of this sixty billion pounds already taken from savers and his justification was well these grannies these older people these pensioners they were spared all of the ravages of austerity so far so they need to pull their weight and sacrifice for the greater good but didn't they unfair underwrite by having all their savings decimated by zero percent interest rates at the bank of england same thing all around the world to sacrifice an incredible amount of income already aren't they the ones the ball work that's kept this thing floating by sacrificing all their income to keep the speculators operating exactly correct. they have already sacrificed hundreds of billions of pounds euro's in dollars in income was two or three years of zero interest rate policy that's also smith unbelievable to me anyway is that even though shows like th

legal options here in the u.k. . of course very serious that. the swedish prosecutor has stated that he would be put into prison into isolation arrival to sweden even though he's not been charged with anything only wanted for questioning questioning which he has been asked to get into for a for a year and a half wanted to be questioned. believe the prosecutor to come over here to the embassy to question him but the. issue of course is the looming threat of extradition from sweden to the united states where we know that a secret grand jury has been in operation long term. gathering information in a clear attempt to. julian and possibly although. we have an indication of that an indictment seal development is already in place but that's one front for. let's not discuss further what might be next for june in the sand with tony investigators who joins us now live from the u.k. tony you've been following the developments around the case all surprising for you was this move asking for political asylum. well i think it's a pretty smart move bill actual

nigel farage i'm a peon leader of the u.k. in a panic party believes that eurozone countries won't be able to deal with their problems until they abandon their monetary union. look the eurozone is a fundamental misconstruction between economies that are so different an economic and monetary union between them was never going to work the only way forward for greece spain and portugal and such countries is to recognize that the euro is a mistake to break away from it to get their own currencies back to have a competitive devaluation and to get their own democracies back that is the only way forward what we're doing here if we keep propping up the euro we try to find ways of preserving and reinforcing failure what we're doing is guaranteeing a miserable future not just the tens of millions of people who'll be falls below the poverty line but actually we were hit by a very heavy social cost for this too in terms of insurrection and violence join a son says he has no plans to hand over to police after being summoned for extradition
