Announces 3 days of mourning after the countrys former president Hosni Mubarak dies or the age of 91 we look back at the legacy of his 30 years in france. And. Welcome you watching r. T. International with me thinking airing. This years day it was that day 2 of wiki leaks founder Julian Assange is hearing on extradition to the us where the whistleblower is wanted on espionage and hacking charges if handed over or he could be facing a 175 Year Prison Sentence for his role in the publication of classified Intelligence Data to has the details. Day 2 with crown called sun we have this song cheering supporters happy night in full force again we can hear them chanting throughout the proceedings now we had the friends 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 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 you do reasonably well the. Very obvious evidence of his mental and physical deterioration is this how. People. I was when i was in solitary confinement in effect many months in solitary he has a little more contact not allowing Contact Business not allowing his papers stealing all his papers to be embassy not allowing him a computer. To start. From United Nations special report on torture so this amounts to psychological torture and i have no i dont know what i see the person i know i couldnt i can feel he is. Suffering the effects of torture i have no doubt about that in my mind at all but i think its entirely politically but. Vote. The interesting thing of all. Struck every single observer ive spoken to is just how amazingly hostile openly hostile the magistrate is to every federal defense is also jess. Plainly the entire visa for the prosecution of the 1st place. Beauty in the United States and the evidence of american war crimes and corruption with which with the leaks exposed with we finally got to position wherever it is up for a playing out in court i think anybody who believes this is a genuinely independent political process is very naive indeed. The prosecution has argued that assigns knowingly put hundreds of lives at risk when he published troves of classified u. S. Military files without words acting names and other Sensitive Information wasnt washington claims the following those leaks in 2010 sources disappeared in iraq afghanistan and iran that wiki leaks founder is also accused of encouraging the whistleblower and Army Intelligence analysts Chelsea Manning to have the pentagons Computer Network assigned as defense team have sought however to counter those allegations by tracing their case with previously undisclosed information they claim the publisher actually warned then secretary of state Hillary Clinton about the leaks so as to ensure the safety of the individuals whose names appeared in the documents theyve also stressed that the songes activities are protected by the principles of press freedom now as lawyers have also strongly rejected the assertion that he encouraged manning to hack the pentagon saying her own testimony disproves that a geisha and furthermore they say extradition would undermine their Clients Health and that prison conditions in the u. S. Can be inhuman and degrading well kevin owen spoke earlier to wiki leaks editor in chief about the proceedings what happened today and what you make of the arguments for julie songes extradition presented so far just. We heard very shallow and hollow arguments from the us. 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 they 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 feel like the conditions at the Court Hearing here are totally inadequate for a hearing of the officer bordens 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 is. Somewhat not what i expected for a very important to hearing you think youd ever get a fair trial in the u. S. My primary concern is that well get a fair trial here the u. K. Its important that the outcome here is just and its monitored every abuse is highlighted on a day to day with a basis. Questions for time a limp a champion on top and durrance runa most far is facing fresh media scrutiny over claims he repeatedly lied to us doping officials about his alleged use of a controversial supplement and i have ski have 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 dont fall back to salazar who could serve more to. 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 in those us which do 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 have 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 mead 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 better than usual 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 fish 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 staunchly denied that he was. Left the interrogation but then came back and changed his account having spoken to barry fudge. Never taking an injection settle 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 we 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. Anti doping Agency Support of the u. S. Anti doping agency with their investigation into the nike oregon project we believe u. S. Anti duping agencys investigation was extensive and robust but just a month ago the u. K. Openly refused to hand over more all to doping probes to usada for retesting now theres no word whether this these new revelations would lead to the much sought retesting of ferrous probes because who knows what kind of further controversies surrounding the pride of britain support such a move would uncover after this latest panorama bombshell. Well socially just down from a sports lecture and if casual and Swimming Coach mark or hendrix the best both on a scandal. Are sorry i just dont buy the fact that someone or some people could be so forgetful if someone injects a substance into you you dont forget you can just walk away and say no they didnt do it and there sometime later say oh i forgot it happened it keeps a now this is all through pleated over the last 24 hours we did nothing that wasnt compliant with water protocols you know if this is our connotate is ok if administered in the right dosage errors but theyre also saying it may not be within the spirit of sport what does that mean you know this to me is it is so of they are its illegal or is it theres no 2 ways about it and if there has been a violation of a why because then im afraid you k. Athletics has to be brought to justice so i sing thats all a little bit funny what happened now and this time. You are sitting. At 1st more fire are set. To take a look on it and suddenly it seems he has he taken it and the u. K. Asleep because the station chief medical officer says it was legal and nothing was documented its for me or a big lie sometimes i wonder if. Its or a doctor saying that people are stupid imagine the same thing happened in the russian this time would be blocked again for the next or another 4 for us but the same like knowledge in the u. K. Is a small c. 3 days of mourning have been announced in egypt after its former president Hosni Mubarak died on tuesday at the age of 91 the banks that does the countrys 4th head of state ruling for 30 years before he was deposed during the arab spring protests that erupted in cairo in early 20 levon of a pause. 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 heavy handedness when i reported from Tahrir 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 managed to unite egyptians ironically unite them against his own leadership there are hundreds was 6 people in the last of my time when i was you can see heating oil and occupation i peoples voices here are loud but theyre being drawn down by 16 is it me 21 is trying to hit me but it is not going down without a fine small break 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 of double talk to how c. C. He said that mubarak was a military leader and a war hero and 3 days of mourning has been declared in the country a deal darwish is the Political Editor of the middle east magazine he sat with those his recollections of meeting Hosni Mubarak. I dont do them several times and there was a good 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 faldo should your chin work meaning its yours mamma. Says it is too big to fit you know he was really relaxed which is of your mother. Who is big. To fit him he said thats a very of it would have you actually considered. At cafes and bars as a 2nd career and so i stood at the world least front to mr president that is copyrighted you cant use it so anyway so he cant actually theres a horse and. He was quite relaxed about it and he also let society be a modernized and the other nazi and allowed his number evangelists on t. V. And passed through islamist laws he tried to appeal to make existing be a more islamic then theres the mess hes actually fighting and that actually led to islamization as your chance to Society Making who like daraa in afghanistan and the way for the Muslim Brotherhood to come. Still to come leaving Us Democratic president ial candidate Bernie Sanders has provoked anger with what i think praise of cuba and put out castro more on that after this short break tayla death. Theyre just taking over all the alternative all cutting taking and as i say the stage shows that this is whats called real choices i. E. Binary choice and only choice is if you say. Im just binary thing is not a chance for the states to sort of provide a new architecture revive the call ted and start negotiations with. Israel then are invited to negotiate then by to think about whats being put on the table. What politicians do you should. Put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president im sure. Some want. To go right to the press this is what the full story of the more people. Interested in the why. Should. Welcome back the front runner for the Us Democratic partys 2020 president ial nomination has provoked by pots than anger by storm city defending Literacy Programs in Fidel Castros cuba these selfstyled socialists remarks were initially made in a c. B. S. Interview in which he also stressed that he condemns all forms of wealth or tarion as im. Very opposed to be a 3rd tier in nature of cuba but you know when you go its unfair to simply say everything is but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a Massive Literacy Program is not a bad thing. Senator sanders comments on fidel castro are ill informed and insulting 2000 so for radians castro was a murderous dictator who oppress his own people his Literacy Program was an altruistic it was a cynical afeard to spread his dangerous philosophy and consolidate power after 4 years of looking on in horror as drum cozied up to dictate is we need a brother didnt who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights a brode we cant risk nominating someone who doesnt recognize this fidel castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people be sure bernie lets talk about his Literacy Program the Campaign Team of Bernie Sanders his rival Mike Bloomberg was quick to try and capitalize on the divisive camas opposed to just series of the terrible tweets with the hash tag bernie on deaths both imagining the month as a lavishing praise and a number of tyrants and perceived strongmen however it later deleted them after facing criticism early in my colleague Daniel Hawkins got reaction from some of our. Bernie sauna saying this thing at a time when the Democratic Partys already split its divided its going through perhaps a bit of a p. R. It means here across this i mean this is a really bad decision isnt it sanders to me shows his integrity here look hes been saying this for years that theres videotapes of him saying these things about cuba and fidel castro in the soviet union i mean how can he backtrack on those things honestly you know hes just you know reaffirming ideas that he has had for many years the concern is not him saying good things about the Literacy Program its i said it thing that mussolini got the trains to run on time that was not what it is that People Associated with what mussolini did it happened to be the case but he was a murderous dictator as was castro spineless democratic stablish men shows their true colors its like a litmus test every time you can say one positive word about cuba or a one word in defense of venezuelan sovereignty they want to make sure theres no critique and so imperialist critique of the u. S. Foreign policy establishment so this is a very sophisticated form of censorship to try to narrow the perimeter is as we have more and more debates within the Democratic Party coming out of that anyone can all get literacy is a bad thing Literacy Programs thats probably we could all agree on that but isnt this an era of judgment on bunny sourness paul given there are lots of countries with good Literacy Programs with social programs and robust human rights records i mean this is surely shooting one self in the foot before important electoral rights we have a democratic nominee who is tipping is hat to castro the murderer for having a Literacy Program so its not just a question of stature ship or narrowing things its making 100 percent sure we have a nominee who is electable and the concern is one to the public realizes what Bernie Sanders. In the past hes an unreconstructed socialist and the United States that generally not a calling card the unofficial religion of the United States is in communism and we just have to listen to richards previous comments boy to hear some of the communism but the truth is that the youth of this country in the multinational working class who supported bernie in nevada 46 percent of the votes that he won in nevada theyre not in socialists they understand who the true enemy is the enemy is not venezuela or cuba or china its the 1000000000 is right here in the pentagon in the white house the former. Mayor of new york city Michael Bloomberg and on wall street i will quote george w. Bush who said we judge other countries by the worst of their actions we judge our own country by the best of our intentions and i think thats true you can look at a country like cuba and yes you can learn about Literacy Programs that Work Health Care programs that work and we should be able to do that in a rational way again especially when you look at the fact that people like President Trump and president obama before him and numerous president s before them partnered with murderous regimes like saudi arabia which now is being funded by the u. S. In its war against yemen which is threatening to kill millions of people and yet that isnt something that isnt being discussed. Raises the foreign minister has announced the governments new policy aimed at protecting refugees highlighting that the country has long been on the frontline of the migrant crisis greece continues to deal with them largest flows of migrants and refugees since the 2nd world war we are among the 4 e. U. Member states with the highest number of asylum applications despite the disproportionate burden we have saved thousands of lives in the sea.

Who were. 6 it was the it were the i. Am excited i am its almost like war. I dont want to sound crying from the morning i dont know what to think this is democracy and for this is democracy is that if this is democracy then i dont know what to say i dont know what to say shame shame on the government shame on everyone its disgusting its betrayed you and acceptable for the way the government has acted towards us and they would be treating us like were enemy its island its im going to take is a blank for the islanders this country was based on democracy and the only they have done is create inhumanity the wealth of refugees into the residence of the island there is growing discontent among the islanders over the presence of the migrants who are living in makeshift camps locals are furious that the number of refugees is increasing at the same time Living Conditions are still far from normal for example maria kampong lesbos was originally designed to accommodate around 3000 refugees but now the number is almost 7 times higher last year 74000 refugees arrived in greece with more than half of that number still living in camps this year the country predicts a staggering 100000 Asylum Seekers to reach its soil political analyst prochoice argo rose says the situation could get even worse without more e. U. Support. Regarding the present situation as it is i want to but were going to have classes between. A lot of people and the migrants the islanders do not want to be expelled from where on an island seoul theyre staying so far and just protesting things can get pretty words in this some of the silence of the competition is a dreadful so its only logical the crime will increase if he doesnt.
