A budget bust up in brussels an emergency summit seize the blocks leaders failed to agree on a post from the bring in live comment on. Why they just had a 6 pm early saturday evening here in moscow that through the afternoon more in london there were autopsies about come from well welcome from me kevin now in from the r. T. International World News Center here so that lets focus on whats happening in the u. K. The softer new wiki leaks founder Julian Assange is set to begin his u. S. Extradition hearing in a london court this coming monday but ahead of the trial is supporters of the south indian rallying in london calling for the whistle blows released media chooses their own reports back for us. In the center. With protesters who are opposing the possible. Addition of Julian Assange to the us we watch from australia house is australian of course to Parliament Square and you can see behind me theres a lot of talks going on anson entertainment in support of putin now this is of course the center of british democracy and supporters theyve gathered here ahead of the wiki leaks founder hearing in court on monday theyll take place that will crown court on the 24th of february and then there will be decided whether he is indeed extradited to the u. S. He could be facing 175 years in prison for leaking documents. Accusing him of hacking a u. S. Government computer and leaking classified documents back in 2010 now he has an awful lot of high profile supporters including Fashion DesignerVivienne Westwood worried about. Showing everybody how totalitarian they really are by saying your crime is that you publish crimes american war crimes that you published america more crimes now that its not a crime its in the Public Interest this is what im saying america is not democracy a tall told will shout for people here its a question of freedom of speech journalists have spoken out and said that hes doing hes doing what other journalists do they cant understand why hes in prison at the moment in belmarsh prison they seem as a hero hes already spend 70 years at the Ecuadorian Embassy he asked for asylum there wanted to avoid going to jail but now he has been arrested by the British Police for breaching bail conditions. His physical and Mental Health has apparently deteriorated quite badly theyve been experts from around the world theyve been. Handling of him mourning that as being a subject of psychological torture in jail more than 100. 00 medics have signed a joint letter urging. Authorities to take action as i said many high profile supporters and they are very proud that roger. Julian a son should america getting a fair trial 00 charles theyre breaking the law to try and get him there that would there is an extradition treaty between the u. K. And the United States which has a number of articles of the forethought to koloff ways that no extradition proceeding should devens dought if there is a political motivation so it this is a political course it is 100 percent political its not a legal proceeding its all its a job and its disgusting and and and for english prudence to fail an ordinary journalist doing his job properly like this makes me ashamed to being which. Theyve almost killed him in belmarsh hes really sick if you read Craig Murrays description of him in the in the last hearing before that awful magistrate. Its really really moving craigs a friend of his and hes you know chilling could you could hardly remember a zone name. He maybe that got drugged a lot which they probably have to probably go on a concert you know trying to license to spoil but. Now hes been in prison for 7 years now in the dorian embassy and now and despite some security place at boma its disgusting he hasnt committed a crime. The case is crucial only if you believe in the rule of law and freedom of speech and he and if you believe that the press and journalists have a responsibility to inform the public if they kill a song its going to be at the back of everybody else is my oh my god they killed him they can. Kill me too if i step out of line its a way of searching for authority so that nobody will report on anything that could be so powerful. Committed no crime apart from a minor bail in fridge when he did it its absolutely clear now that he didnt rape anyone in stock oh that was a poor thing to try and get it he was so right when he said he was frightened of going to sweet because they would actually die to see exactly what they would have done this is being borne out completely by whats happened now here in the United Kingdom where the u. K. Government have decided to feed him to the wolves. Now so us media are throwing yet more meddling accusations east this time its the democrats front runner for the 2020 president ial election has been dragged in Bernie Sanders is leading the polls ahead of the next nomination voted this to nevada and now the Washington Post is claiming through sources that hes receiving russian help for his campaign it was not clear what role theyre going to play we were told that russia maybe other countries are going to get involved in this campaign and look heres the message to russia stay out of american elections or see it in a moment pretty quickly one democratic rival billionaire might bloomberg jumped on the report target sanders online posting his 2016 president ial Campaign Slogan feel the burden but in russian now at the other end of the political spectrum New York Times also published claims that the u. S. President is also a benefactor of alleged russian help to donald trump flatly dismissed those allegations. Did you see that i see these phoneys these the do nothing democrats 3 they said today that gotten wants to be sure that trump gets elected here we go these people are crazy. Well more to ridicule the report and said it expects to see many more such claims in the relative to the election so i could tell it takes a look next to the latest meddling accusations dear diary i know i can be a bit of a warrior you know better than anyone but this time i really think we might have a serious. Situation on our hands it is the conclusion of multiple Us Intelligence agencies that the Russian Federation is once again trying to interfere in our 2020 alexion our president ial election again to try to elect donald trump the russians off to american democracy again and theres just so much evidence to back it up this time in a closed meeting undisclosed intelligence officials told congress that moscow wants to keep orange one in the white house for another few years and 5 unnamed people who apparently are in the loop told us so its a sure thing i turned on the t. V. And everyones quoting it a bombshell revelation just makes me panic more than americas democracy once again under attack by a foreign adversary new revelations about russian efforts to interfere in the 2020 election with the hope of getting the president president. And also to make americans doubt the integrity of the election process this is not a 4 year ago flashback folks this is 2020 and the media would so panic would jump on the bandwagon just to boost their ratings that would be unconscionable wouldnt it i know youll say im im spiraling but can you see how burn up proof this latest report is i mean i agree i did read the article which published the info for us and there isnt a single concrete fact a piece of evidence provided but they promise it will all come to light soon both republicans and democrats the intelligence agencies to hand over the underlying material that prompted the conclusion the rush is again favoring mr trump selection how soon the House Committee might get that information is not clear and if that wasnt convincing enough trump thought the director of National Intelligence and replaced him with a man who supports him that cant be a coincidence can it i mean thats basically trump admitting that hes a criminal stooge and the president of the United States is now helping the president of russia help the president of the united. Daves to get reelected now i dont want to exaggerate or anything but this is a National Emergency we are now in a full blown National Security crisis by trying to prevent the flow of intelligence to Congress Trump is abetting a russian covert operation to keep him in office from moscows interests not americas and politicians are panicking to it so seriously even tweeted about it poor hillarys also chimed in still a bit saw over the whole 2016th tast i suppose putins puppet is at it again taken russian help for himself he knows he can win without it and we cant let it happen i mean it is so unfair the democrats are just being unlucky the mourner report was a boston pietschmann felt flat on its face but still how could anyone pick trump over that and just tick inspiring democrat candidates on offer take joe biden for example sure hes got a chance on approach but hes clearly a good parent and thats got to count for something right then does Michael Bloomberg sure he made a few crude comments apparently about women back in the eightys but these were different times now hes just a good old clean billionaire and Bernie Sanders are good old bernie mo was giving his honest opinion when he allegedly said a woman couldnt become a president no no the more i think about it the clearer it is a trump 2020 victory could only have the kremlins fingerprints all over it. Diary what a disaster you 1st get taylor. Knew in an emergency budget summit has seen the blocks leaders failed to agree on how to make up the 75000000000 euro shortfall thats been left by bricks it. What has come out of this is data differences are still too large to come to an agreement unfortunately we had to suspend this summit. These divisions are there we dont need britain for that they were playing out during the financial crisis a decade ago during the migration grazes were now seeing them on budget issues or despite calls for compromise in fridays negotiations seems for the blocks more frugal states scuppered hopes of reaching a funding deal to mark austria sweden or the netherlands disagreed with other states about the size of the budget arguing it should not be high the one percent the unions Gross National income they also want to keep receiving rebates on the contributions they pay to the you saw though its united front its several scrabbling for their best as well by the looks of it as ever lets go to the heart of human europe almost and over to discuss where these talks are going to go political commentator ike hammer a there are profound is theres disagreement it was never going to be easy its a big shortfall to make up and everyones in it to try and get the best deal they can for themselves although of course its united europe where is this war going to go. I think they have got the 3 problems to solve this is indeed not very easy the 1st problem is of course the huge gap of 74000000000 that the former head of the Great Britain put into the jackpot and nowadays that people dont know who pay for it because normally you is a community to to go after germanys money so everybody expected that germany as usual. Opens the pockets and say ok we can we we do if we fill up their gap but in this time they cant and so at the farm our measurement of one per cent it doesnt fit the 2nd problem is that they want to change the system of how the e. U. Will get the money they want the e. U. Ones own taxation power and they want to use this. This problem now to get their hands on the creepy thoughts that takes 5 to to be able to tax the people 1st time as usual and the 3rd problem is that this is highly to do with corruption we had already in the e. C. B. And other entities illegal measurements who crossed a lot a lot of money and now they have to fill up the steps so the you really need even more money than what they are telling now to fill out the illegal things they did in the past and for the last underline described it with the green deal and powering hurt on a huge budget to fill up the steps and all these 3 things to solve the 3 things problems is a huge things it sounds like it but of course never more than ever the wants to look completely united to stop any more people thinking about abraxas or Something Like that are they going to Reach Agreement on these big deal soon or not. I think they will Reach Agreement but this agreement is what wont be that favorable 4000 European Countries and france will basically bankrupt as of a fought so it could be bad to germany and especially the netherlands by giving states want to have more power and more rights through 2. Different cases in this for them to stay with us were going to record some more be on the sayings and bring to our viewers later please the commentator i have a thanks for now its going to succeed leaving moscow time a lot more to come including a story from italy where police have raided the room of a top russian athlete coming up we look at whats turned into a diplomatic route after this. Max geysers financial survival guide. Housing bubble. Oh you mean theres a downside to artificial Mortgage Rates dont get carried away thats because reports. Lead. You. To eat. Again human Rights Groups a demanding that a British University suspends a Masters Program it runs with bahrains Royal Academy of policing how does Field University flies like a democrat to barring despite rights campaigners condemning the kingdom as a torture for prisoner abuse director for the Bahraini Institute for rights and democracy told us it has detail delegations from 10 prisoners who allege theyve been tortured we opened there was testimony is which came to us directly from this into a prison behind your prison and somebody called us to give us the details of how those individuals were thought of this is im talking about the 1st hand testimony from the victims their detailing how they were abused. There is a consistent account on many of them where subjected to physical and psychological torture some of them were subjected to electric shocks some of a lot of them were naked the during their interrogation they were blindfolded some of them an edge there were raped and sexually assaulted had the they make threats against their families and just last weekend i happened to nor there my own family including my brother in law was subjected to torture at the Royal Academy this is what i got from his last chord. Extremely strong claims well in 2017 a u. N. Report called for the claims of torture and the ill treatment of prisoners to be more thoroughly investigated but previous complaints made by Rights Groups it seems were not reviewed independently the university for its part refused to confirm how much its being paid for by bahrain to do this is its commercially Sensitive Information but it did go on as well to say it will give consideration to the request and respond in the coming days we also ask the bahraini government and university to comment again if they get back to us will will bring you what they have to say the rights group though says it repeatedly called for the course to be dropped the British Government got to stop their own going to training with Security Forces because if it did anything did the in a set of improving the situation they just simply have them to cover up abuses the place where the teach the course is the place where the prisoners get tortured so its extremely serious allegations we have extremely strong evidence and can be even better if i had within Asylum Seekers in britain. The tally in police raid on a hotel that houses russian athletes has created a diplomatic spat to tell you about it involves a champion russian biathlete who previously served a doping ban and the Russian Embassy in italy has questioned the groups for whats happened there wrote quest of the grounds of the International Birth a union has said it didnt request the search with more eagles down off. All the scandal stems from the accusations of the personal coach of the russian biathlete del xander logan of that he used a fake or somebody elses accreditation to move around the competition site now he and alexander logon to himself have their hotel rooms searched by the police and their personal Electronic Devices were confiscated by the officers that includes the notebooks and mobile phones heres how to log in a room may describe the situation as he witnessed it they didnt allow us to leave the room but they had no questions for me they took all of our devices put them on the table but they confiscated our exams devices to copy all the data from his phone and computer we asked them when they would return the devices they answered they didnt know and experts would analyze them and copy before i had a matter of seconds to message my teammates and coach now apparently the measures were taken out of suspicion that kasparov reached the coach that he used the fake accreditation to bring doping to bring Illegal Drugs to his athlete but when it comes to Alexander Logan of he does have a history of Substance Abuse he was banned from participating in competitions but then was reinstated the ban was lifted and he was back in the he was back i should say in the big sports but here this whole thing is turning into a bit of a diplomatic scandal because russia is saying that in this particular case the presumption of innocence has to be maintained and that no allegations no accuse ations or should be taken at face value and Alexander Logan for instance of that whole thing happened literally hours before he was shuttled to participate in a biathlon relay which he is still doing by the way he wasnt pulled from the team also russia has sent all sorts of less as the ministry to the Sports Ministry is involved they are demanding explanations as. To why such measures are being taken and apply to the russian team but when its another nations team in question then a completely different set of measures is being taken and not as harsh as russia has to bear the french team also had the same situation at this world cup but their man was only fined 500. 00 euros and now the case has been exaggerated to an absurd level im 100 percent sure this was well planned now the International Biathlon union has launched a legal investigation a legal case against the russian team and against the coach so well have to see how their version of events fares in court. Indeed handful of other world news stories in brief now her clashes broke out between police and students in the colombian capital bogota on friday i am.

Next devouring everything apart a swarm of locusts head from pakistan to china officials there preparing unique air force to fight off the plague like threat. Let me give this a little. Frank frank. Frank. For the friends the rescue a lesson for me from that so much more a very social media now if you dont call my next programs variously no part of the world are lined up for you ready to get going after the break coming up meantime for me and the rest of this weekend about see how the great work. Im going to fulfill the repeated promises apologies to the people i promise you know we its all pots. For a. Free beer perk up now you want to 1st. Know. 5. Were still in an era of resource colonialism again this is a big risk and the one big thing that could really inhibit the kind of electric vehicle revolution that a lot of us want to see is if we cant resource the battery components in a sustainable ethical way then its not going to be a successful revolution. Im Afshin Rattansi and were going underground ahead of a london trial that could decide the fate of all journalism and the ability of the public to understand how that consent is being manufactured by the powerful coming up on the show are you comfortably numb close to 10 years since collateral murder revealed nato nations indiscriminate targeting of journalists and civilians form of pink floyd from what youll watch is slamming the British Government persecuting wiki leaks founder Julian Assange plus agreed in an industry exposed by wiki leaks as London Fashion week shuts down its glamorous facade we talked to steve coogan and Michael Winterbottom about their satire on capitalism featuring the last ever on screen performance of u. K. Celebrity Caroline Flack pulitzer ball coming up in todays going underground but 1st ahead of next weeks hearings on the trial of julian the sondra weve still heard nothing from u. K. Labor leadership contenders in defense of the wiki leaks publisher but one candidate for Deputy Richard bergen has been speaking out going on the grounds fine ahmed caught up with him. I think important that we speak out against the actual vision of Julian Assange who could end up in prison in the United States of america for 175 years people have got to look at was his given reason was given rise to this situation youve got to look at the. Crimes that we kill akes exposed the truth the wiki leaks spoken for example look at the. Video which came out in 2010 a video which went around the world and horrified people showing innocent civilians in iraq being gunned down that wouldnt have been seen by other words if it hadnt have been quickly simulate the wall logs in relation to iraq and afghanistan and similarly the treatment of people in Guantanamo Bay it is because of wiki leaks the world knows about these things because they were giving us the world to see the evidence of these things vitally important in a democracy the. Truth is known that we know what the powerful do in our name in the name of every citizen in this country so we need to speak up for what we believe says dont need to depend defend press freedom we need to speak out against the extradition of jews in the United States america through feeling these atrocities for revealing these crimes are really revealing the horrors of war and do you fear what Boris Johnson now with a large majority in parliament western and genocides does get exercise the United States do for parcells and assad cracking down on press freedoms head. I think one of the great problems with this situation is that its almost giving a warning to other journalists dont expose war crimes dont expose the truth dont expose the horrors of war because this may happen to you as well just imagine what would have happened when you look at the vietnam war and the trust that is committed by the united. Thats america that is the journalist who exposed those atrocities. Prosecuted afterwards its important that the world knows the truth and horror of war and we must carry on speaking out about this and just finally of course now with John Mcdonnell and yourself have a status of underscore for joining us on but i wasnt as much what i was as much vocal support during the run up of the general elections that will live upon to be more in full force both in your hands on from now on well before the general election jameco been down but on
