His 30 years in power. Live from moscow thanks for joining us on our to international tonight im don hawkins welcome to this program. Now this tuesday was day 2 of wiki leaks founder Julian Assange is hearing on extradition to the United States where the whistleblower was wanted on espionage charges if handed over he could be facing a 175 Year Prison Sentence for his role in the publication of classified Intelligence Data that he has the latest. Day 2 with crown court and we have the song cheering supporters have been out in full force again we can hear them chanting throughout the proceedings now we had the defense talking today talking about why these allegations should be thrown out of course they talked about mrs mannings involvement in the release of the 2002006200 extension 7 iraq talk documents the iraqi diaries and obviously the release of the collateral murder video saying that she felt that her conscience required her to release those documents. Julian assange as she was handcuffed 11 times prior to the course of these hearings stripped naked twice and his case files calmly skated after the 1st day of his extradition hearing according to his lawyers thats been told and they complained of interference and his ability to take part but of course the court has said that they cant intervene in this so we will have to see whether the prison authorities do actually come forward and answer those questions as to why that happened now we did manage to talk to former british diplomats and whistleblower craig murray i know youre doing reasonably well the. Very obvious evidence of his physical deterioration which is how. You can. I was when i was in college you can find many. Many months in solitary years of little more contact not allowing contact not following his papers stealing all these papers the embassy not allowing him a computer. For the United Nations special tortures or. The psychological torture of i have no i dont know what i see the person i know i can i can see. Suffering the effects of torture i have no doubt about that in my mind at all but i think its entirely. Over. The interesting thing of all things up with this struck every single observer ive spoken to is just how amazingly hostile openly hostile the magistrate is to everything the defense says also jess and. Plainly the entire season for the prosecution in the 1st place. Is purely in the United States and the evidence of americas war crimes and corruption with which with the leaks expose. With weve finally got to position where that is all true that you really are playing out in court i think anybody who believes this is a genuinely independent political process is very naive indy. Supporters protested again outside the cause in london today claiming the case is a test the fundamental journalistic freedoms kevin owen spoke earlier we can accept it or in chief Kristinn Hrafnsson who says he was briefly prevented from entering the hearing. She says she even that youve been in the hearing for last 2 days but you were and is that because youre not allowed to go in i was told specifically that the court had. Decided that i would not be allowed into the Public Gallery under what. I had to go out so i was giving no ground and i just went to search for they had off the court here in the building the head of the office was not available so i went out and i made a statement it was treated 7 far and wide and retreated and within a couple of minutes i was approached and i was told that there had a misunderstanding had occurred and they actually are paula doris i have to manage risk in the explanation of what occurred what happened today and what you make of the arguments for julie songes extradition presented so far yesterday we heard very shallow and hollow arguments from the u. S. That have since that yesterday afternoon and especially this morning been torn apart by the lawyers of julian or science they are basically present thing to the judge that she has to take into consideration that the extradition request is based on fabrication and it can easily be proved by publicly available information cheerio that is available to you in the states so the abuse here is that the English Court is being misled by americans they are trying to abuse the process of exhibition does it feel like when you walk in does it feel extremely heavy almost what it feels like the conditions at the Court Hearing here are totally inadequate for a hearing of the officer importance julian is in the dock behind bulletproof glass he has indicated often that he has a hard time hearing whats going on in the room its a rather small courtroom and as i said its very small space for the public a very small space for the media and this. Somewhat not what i expected for a very important to hearing you think youd ever get a fair trial in the us my primary concern is that well get a fair trial here the u. K. Its an important but the outcome here is just that its monitored every abuse is highlighted on a day to day with a basis. Britains 4 time olympic champion and top insurance right imo farrow is facing fresh media scrutiny of a claims he repeatedly lied to us though being officials about his alleged use of a controversial supplement and. The details. This summer the whole of Great Britain will be glued to their screens rooting for the nations prize athlete 4 time olympic champion runner more or will they and you panorama documentary by the b. B. C. Has cost further doubt on whether more farah success was cleanly won the dont fall back to salazar who could serve more fire and you can. Choose what to do when at all costs the main Sticking Point is the role of former coach Alberto Salazar who was banned in october 29th for 4 years from any sports activities he was the head of the controversial nike oregon project until the u. S. Antidoping agency suspected he may have banned the doping rules one of those substances he used was l. Carnitine designed to speed up muscle and heart recovery for athletes its considered legal indows this which did not exceed 50 millimeters over 6 hours salazar however reportedly invented a new method of administering l. Carnitine through intravenous injections which itself sparked questions from u. S. Antidoping authorities it hasnt been secret that more had had injections of the substance prior to the London Marathon in 2014 but the new documentary opens a fresh can of worms namely about the relationship between salazar and u. K. Athletics meed barry head of Long Distance running at 6 still employed by the organization in 2014 he reportedly flew to switzerland to obtain the karni team in a form which could not have been acquired in the u. K. He did not document this trip even though he had to his colleague u. K. Athletics dr rob chakravarty reportedly administered the injections to more and yet he didnt report it either even though it is against the rules to prevent he later said he simply forgot to do that over working and travelling even unusual occurrence that this very specific medicine was required a source of great difficulty given against the initial advice of the dogs being who he said he recalls a bit and there were dishonest equal. But the even more bizarre case of forgetfulness occurred with more himself when you saw the investigators came to question him 1st he denied that he used l. Carnitine left the interrogation but then came back and changed his account having spoken to barry fudge. Never taking it in injections at all i just wanted to come clean sorry go and i did take it at the time and i thought i didnt usual comes back for me but at the time i didnt remember more farrahs lawyer says the athlete just didnt get the question now having seen the documentary the u. K. Antidoping agencys c. E. O. Nicole sapp said said she the agency was ready to cooperate and even called usada is investigation robust with thank the Panorama Team for their efforts the program is another example of the importance of Investigative Journalism regards and Integrity Matters in sports u. K. And to doping Agency Support of the u. S. Antidoping agency with their investigation into the nike oregon project we believe us and today open agencies investigation was extensive and robust. But just a month ago the u. K. Openly refused to hand over more fire us all to doping probes to usada for retesting now theres no word whether this these new revelations would lead to the much sought retesting affairs probes because who knows what kind of further controversies surrounding the pride of britain sport such a move would uncover after this latest panorama bombshell but across florida any brown from the Sports Integrity Initiative thanks for joining us and a great to have you on today but this part of us the geisha quite serious quite indepth claims here whats your reaction to it so that by far a change theres a cow to us i did open investigators well what we were the new investigation that was undertaken the school is that salazar instructed exactly to deny straightout if they had been if they were asked if theyd been given a 19 shes a little carnitine or any other substance so it would appear at 1st sight of sarah was following some business instructions which just shows the sort of level of control he had over the night current project math leaks and the recent worrying revelations about how he treated some of those athletes also in the documentary. Its been alleged that you care facials are actually discussing whether it would be ethical or not to give mo fire injections of that supple cell carnitine just a couple of days before the 2014 other marathon does this reflect well on u. K. Athletics i mean but how byelection this damage the bodys reputation it doesnt reflect very well on you cant like 6 its all it shows the mountains in the documentary show that they had significant concerns about the the weather was actually right for ferrets received injections especially as the method had been untested on anyone because so far it was in effect his own guinea pig for the injections administered before 2000 troops in london. And it was a few days because there was no explain for anyone to do anything so the the stuff was flown back from zurich into london and directly injected into the. Troops on 4 separate occasions and really days before the marathon. So you know you catholics is it does find itself in a difficult position over this but it has issued a statement in for sizing that they were actually no rules broken because carnitine infusions are committed. And also as long as they remain below the 50 millimeter limit over 6 hours that was in place back then thats part of the problem isnt as far as i can see here because no specific rules were actually broken there is this gray area whether its in the spirit of sports or whether its the ethically right i mean in terms of that substance well carnitine how common is the use among athletes and how great is the potential to abuse it if if necessary. I i really dont know but certainly episodes like this dont help because athletes may be looking for you know the next thing that might give them the marginal gangs they see and this doesnt help because people will now be think you know maybe al counted seen as something that can boost much womans if these allegations are proven true which you know theres been no indepth investigation official outcome yet but if they are proven true what would be the outcome for all for you cant let x. In general i mean can we see a similar level of scrutiny that face for example by russia and its outlets i very much doubt it because like i said theres actually been no rules broken here unfortunate i mean its just its against the spirit to sport and but it does show that farah is prepared to take certain risks when it comes to. Administering substances he hasnt broken any rules but he did receive an injection ahead of a major race now that raises questions as to what else he was prepared to do and there are questions over his time spends in kenya on his training regime of the death. And you can see doping closed an investigation into medical documentation which alleged been forged but it theres been no. Sort of outcome on the how it proved that that documentation was foolish to so there are questions there are questions that surround for now unfortunately because of this but like i say he hasnt broken any rules and theres no evidence hes cheated. And you ran from the Sports Integrity Initiative thanks for coming on great to get your take here today on that story thank you very much. 3 days of mourning have been out them egypt after its former president Hosni Mubarak died this choose the age of 91 when barack served as the countrys 4th head of state ruling for 30 years before he was deposed during the arab spring protests that erupted in cairo back in early 27 paulus lir has this report. Hosni mubarak leaves behind a mixed legacy on the one hand he is credited with turning the egyptian economy into a market one and also mediating in a number of middle east conflicts ensuring also that the israeli egyptian peace treaty that was signed in 1999 remained in place but on the other hand he came to symbolize everything that people thought was wrong with egypt widespread corruption economic stagnation and political repression and now he came to power after the assassination of anwar sadat he saw that us as a nation up close and he spent much of his nearly 3 decades in power making sure that islamic extremists would never come to power and that a police state would ensue now we felt some of that he handedness when i reported from top to square in the early part of 2011 myself and the other journalists often felt the brunt of tear gas that was sprayed at us and this sometimes 1000000 protesters who came out to the streets at the same time i would often have a laser beam shining into my face i remember asking some of the protesters what they felt would be the legacy of mubarak and they say that he had many to unite egyptians ironically unite them against his own leadership it was just it was people in the last times square as you can see many of whom he was going. To patients i peoples voices here are young soldier but theyve been drawn down by 16 is that mig 20 ones trying to hit me but it is not going down without a fight small boat was forced to resign and that resignation was welcomed by washington despite the fact that for the better part of 3 decades he had been a close ally of the United States interesting lee in 2011 in the year that he was signed washington gave Something Like more than 1000000000. 00 in military aid to egypt now mubarak was replaced by morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood who proved to be one popular and leave it. In a situation that was even more unstable than it had been before. We have heard from the current president. He said that mubarak was a military leader and a war hero and 3 days of mourning has been declared in the country. Hes the Political Editor of the middle east magazine he shared with us his recollections of meeting. I dont do them several times and you know as i got a really good sense of humor when i interviewed them had my panama hat then said oh i like your have eyes that i would love to see it fogged ocean your chin were meaning its yours im afraid your excellencys it is too big to fit you know he was really relaxed with sense of humor rescind jokes when i said to him who is big headed and a man had to fit him he said thats a very of it would have you actually considered a selling job at cafes and bars at a 2nd career and so i stood well least want to mr president there is copyrighted you cant use it so anyway so he cant actually theres a horse and the bed but he was quite relaxed about it and he also let society be a modernized and the weather nazi and allowed his nomic avenger lists on t. V. And passed brought islamist laws he tried to obtain domains of state abir more islamic then theres the mess hes actually fighting and that actually led to islamization as your chance to Society Making darren afghanistan and that one that way for the Muslim Brotherhood to come. Still to come we look at the support of a new coronavirus in europe and the middle east where theres been a steep rise in number of cases that its of great. The world is driven by a dream shaped by. We. Ask. The chrono virus now has proven this point because even the. Supply lines are choked and deliveries of critical parts are not happening stocks are still stable or going higher because its. Cheap money right its all cheap money that cheap money is is created out of nothing to create the simulation going. Police in Northern Ireland apologized off the leaflets linking coal consumption to write. It in belfast incident triggered an angry backlash in the city with many accusing the force of participating in a culture of victim blaming the flyers claim that many sexual abuse cases happen when people are drunk and outlined ways individuals can protect themselves the Police Service says the leaflets have been discontinued a number of years ago and why they were distributed in the 1st place but also stressed the rape victims are never at fault that wasnt good enough for many of the. This live flat is a horrible example of victim blaming from those who are meant to protect the victim this is an issue that has come up again and again and we thought that the lesson had been Learned Police need to step away from the blaming these leaflets rebirths that deal the police can you please get some dont be a message and stop attacking women leaflets to distribute please how can you prevent a crime you routinely fail to understand with this victim blaming nonsense or discuss the fallout from the controversial fly with former British Police officer peter clarke and womens rights advocate paula deen. Always the same and the same thing happening again and again we are in 2020 and still with the the blaming the victim of rape but please dont blame him for anything else what they do do and they have an absolute duty to do is provide people with Crime Prevention and personal safety advice it would be utterly ridiculous if they didnt shouldnt get drunk come on everyone knows that but why you should put that in the if you know in this leaflet why you should connect this to rape the shore thats the bad thing people need to avoid making themselves vulnerable to all sorts of things by drinking so much that they dont understand where they are and what theyre doing and we see every friday and saturday night in every town center but this is and how sick a is you know so this is a common sense thing for everyone as i said that you dont shouldnt connect this to rape in your day or to prevent rape you should go in target men who are violent lets say these loud and clear you keep asking for things that are effectively the moon on the street how can the police go and find a rapist before they been a rapist and persuade them not to be right pissed it simply isnt the patterson of violence there is a part of violence you knew know that and whether or not you hes alert the police intervene in their efforts or not helped by exaggerated and inaccurate claims by campaigners and im sorry i dont agree with him when he says that its exaggerated i know every time we men speak but its never exaggerated its finally our voices are heard you know what we have enough we have enough of this culture of this particular culture so we need to be united if you agree with me that if this is a social emergency and im talking about sexual abuse and Domestic Violence we need to find are always working together isnt helped by one party or exaggerates. Claiming that the other party is lying there is no grounds for expect. P. S. And i will service in all of Northern Ireland are lying when they say these were old leaflets but somehow through some mistake which will undoubtedly turn into some jury of administrative error. It is why why you what grounds of youve got to say in the Police Service of Northern Ireland the lying and thats basically what youre doing its not because every family every this towns like an excuse im sorry i mean what you should be responsible for what your printer what you put out for how you want to stay over there and also tell us why theyre all there when exactly which year they were written who wrote them to give us some kind of you know for more information see if its true we men there have to be louder louder because unfortunately people in the society of politicians and the policeman they only hear are if we are allowed to be loud by all means but be accurate. The World Health Organization is warning of a potential pandemic with the deadly new coronavirus there having been detected in more than 30 countries in europe croatia switzerland and austria the all 1st reported their 1st cases of covered 19. Years old locked out after a guest there tested positive this is a time for all of these communities finally loose and individuals to focus on preparing.

So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its Crazy Foundation let it be an arms race on all fronts spearing Dramatic Development only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical. To sit down and talk. What holds and change to something that. They put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or somehow want to.

Christmas boom bust the one business show you cant afford to miss unbends one and im christie im washington coming up next one of my insta other things to be going anywhere and that is creating a new set of fears on wall street and around the world.
