Youre watching our 2 International Coming to you live from the moscow welcome to the program. You can use home secretary has passed a u. S. Extradition request for Julian Assange is to the courts which will now consider the whistleblowers fate and extradition hearing is scheduled for friday we go live now to charlotte in london charlotte take us through the latest development in the asylum saga. Well yes thats right the confirmation now that the extradition hearing will take place on friday of this week that comes off to serve a judge it had signed that order later this week as he said today that means now that the courts will be able to decide whether a song is extradited to the u. S. That the secretary said he thought it was right that Julian Assange was currently in prison. Were very pleased that the police were finally able to apprehend him and now hes right behind bars because he broke you cade law i want to see justice done at all times and weve got a legitimate extradition request so i signed it but the final decision is now with the courts so that final decision is with the courts now the hearing will take place on friday although some say it could actually take place in the belmarsh prison and thats because the health of julian a soldier has deteriorated in the recent weeks what are the charges that he face we know that the u. S. Indicted him for 17 counts of espionage this relates the publication of military and diplomatic documents classified documents and hes also charged with one count of conspiracy to hack a u. S. Computer now the you editor in chief of wiki leaks has said that they dont think its possible that julius aunt will be able to face a fair trial and if of course hes found guilty of this he could face up to 175 years in prison. I dont believe that we are going to win this with legal arguments there is no chance the julian will get a fair trial here in the u. K. Or in the u. S. Of course unless theres a change of reporting that people actually start speaking out were not talking about a prosecution were talking about a persecution. Well julian is orange is currently taking part in a 50 week sentence in belmarsh prison in london thats high security prison hes in prison for skipping bail back in 2012 now as you can see from this video that was obtained by arties. Agency this shows Julian Assange inside the prison looking coolant and thin we know that there has been concern for his medical stability over the last few weeks without loss of weight and he was transferred to a medical ward within the prison we also know that he was too ill to appear at a hearing recently however we heard from his father john shipton earlier this week who visited son in prison and said that he was on the road to recovery now where did we go how did we get here well just remind you back in april British Police officers were given the authority to enter into the Ecuadorian Embassy which had claimed refuge in asylum for almost 7 years he went in there that was after he faced allegations of Sexual Assault from prosecutors who wanted to extradite him that he has always denied those claims of Sexual Assault or said. As a pretext to get to sweden to be able to extradite him quite easily to the u. S. Why well back in 2010 you may recall that wiki leaks published the huge dump of documents that were obtained by a former u. S. Private. Army soldier this was a private Chelsea ManningChelsea Manning was able to obtain those documents and known as a whistleblower and those documents contained some incredible information including videos which showed alleged war crimes being committed by u. S. Soldiers in iraq and since then the u. S. Government has made moves to try and bring julius. And it looks like that at least on friday in the u. K. They will have that day in court show devinsky bringing us the latest from london thank you. To oil tankers have caught fire in the gulf of oman in what are suspected to have been attacks on the vessels the incident occurred amid high tensions in the middle east and triggered a surge in oil prices it comes a month after similar events in the region back then the u. S. Accusing iran of sabotaging 2 Saudi Oil Tankers something the Islamic Republic tonight were now joined live in the studio by quarter bring us up to speed well jacki weve still got a lot of unconfirmed information theres some calling the incident in attack others not sure but heres what we know so far the Iranian State television is reporting 44 crew members and 2 tankers under the flags of both panama and the Marshall Islands were involved in the incident near the strait of hormuz witnesses report one vessel called the front tear was quote on fire and adrift and state media also retreated pictures of that going on however different sources suggest the conditions of the ships are unknown and the damage as well as the loss of cargo have yet to be assessed now as far as we know the crew are safe the u. S. Navy received to describe 2 distress calls and they actually ended up rescuing all 44 sail sailors according to iran the fleet leader said that the ships operators described a possible attack and taiwans state oil refiners said one of the tankers may have been hit by a torpedo but we dont have confirmation of any of this the cause or who might have been responsible and this is the 2nd such incident tell us a little bit more about that back in may there was another there was one attack on 4 oil tankers near the United Arab Emirates and the government there 1st denied that the attack altogether later blaming in quote unnamed state actor for those attacks involving sabotage and naval mines although the u. S. Was much more straightforward in their. National security advisor john bolton said that they were that iran was almost certainly to blame in response to iran called this accusation ridiculous as well as calling john bolton a warmonger these harsh words came amidst intentions in the region right now lets not forget that the United States has a fleet in the persian gulf while at the same time theyre saying theyre not looking to start a war on top of that washington already said theyre trying to exert maximum economic pressure on iran after trying to pull out of the nuclear the nuclear deal with iran so its certainly a delicate situation that could only get more volatile as time goes on i t. Is not a quarter that you for staying cross the story for us. The u. S. Is boosting its military presence in poland as part of a new deal with donald trump warsaw will host an extra 1000. 00 american troops by u. S. Fighter jets and purchased american liquefied natural gas term praised his post counterpart in washington. U. S. Polish alliance its a very special alliance with very special people poland will soon provide basing in infrastructure to support military presence of about 1000. 00 american troops polish government will pay for this so america is bolstering its military presence in poland they are adding to the 4500. 00 troops that are already in the country on a rotating basis now it sounds dramatic but its actually somewhat short of the request from poland for a permanent u. S. Military base which they intended to name for trump in the end the usa agreed to shift noncombat troops to poland who had already been stationed elsewhere in europe so who are the poles trying to defend themselves from because we bought it when russia is again showing its own kind unfriendly imperial faces russia is always looking out to take us territory yes those menacing russians on whole ones border just waiting for the right moment to invade but it seems that donald trump doesnt quite share that view do not see the russian read the whole nation and the euro. I hope. Were with everybody and i hope i think that russia will treat poland with respect now while the russian threat may be imaginary the money that poland is showing the United States is very real big buyers of our equipment to our planes and our community sions in every form in every respect at this point weve got praising the warsaw for meeting its nato spending requirements 2 percent of their g. D. P. Trump is encouraging poland to buy more than 30 f. 35 by. Jets even had one of them fly over the white house on the Sunny Afternoon dude gave an encouraging wave and theres more money from poland coming americas way trump paled a deal in which the country would purchase 2000000000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas from the United States furthermore at this point trump is praising poland for its baltic pipe project to support polands construction of the baltic pipeline which will help European Countries diversify. Their Energy Sources its desperately needed them thats the way to go so the big bad russians have got poland into a situation where it has no choice except to increase its military spending purchase a bunch of fancy new f. 35 fighter jets and import liquefied natural gas all the way from the other side of the planet yes trump the salesman is happy to make a deal it seems that sometimes having a bogeyman can be very convenient kaleb up and r. T. New york moscow says it regrets the military build up former pentagon analyst Michael Maloof told us we cant really afford the jets or to host more troops. But being trump he will take the he will take money from wherever he can get it and the whole the whole notion of. Putting a 1000 troops noncombatants i might add does not alter the balance of power at all in the region its really more of a show showcase type of thing the cost for those f. 35. 00 is going to be horrendous ultimately the u. S. May have to subsidize it to present a poll and it really is trying to in namur himself more with the west by buying these f. 35 s. And at the same time trying to purchase natural gas from the United StatesUnited States is going to have a problem in getting the natural gas and i dont know yet if poland has the infrastructure to support that all well intentioned about the reality is going to be something else. Human rights watch has slammed a recent British Government report the organization accuses the u. K. Of whitewashing a saudi arabias role in aggravating the humanitarian crisis in yemen the u. K. Foreign Office Report states that the conflict in yemen has had a devastating impact on peoples lives but it only mentions saudi arabia one of the belligerents in connection with the alleged use of secret prisons. And missed International Alleged the use of secret prisons in areas under the Saudi Led Coalitions control there was no reliable process for inquiry into detainees held at these facilities Human Rights Watch says that riyadhs actions in yemen could amount to war crimes and accuses the u. K. Of turning a blind eye the reports most striking weakness is on the yemen while acknowledging the many civilians killed in the conflict it ignores the Saudi Led Coalitions responsibility Indiscriminate SaudiLed Coalition air strikes in yemen have hit hospitals funerals weddings markets civilian homes and even a school bus killing and wounding thousands many of these attacks may be work crimes. Since 2015 the u. K. Has sold 4700000000 pounds worth of weapons to riyadh its one of the biggest exporters of arms to the kingdom the issue of weapons exports to the saudis has led to heated exchanges in the British Parliament we have requested comment from the u. K. Foreign Office Although so far we have not had a response the Saudi Led Coalition began its Bombing Campaign against whos the rebels in yemen which riyadh sees as terrorists back in 2015 saudi arabia insists its doing all it can to reduce civilian casualties the un has described the situation in the country as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis on earth. The bomb is a killing people the cholera epidemic the number of people who are in hunger because of a block a port of data etc the Foreign Office is trying to obfuscate or hide from the british people the fact that they are supporting the illegal action of saudi arabia and its. In its war on the people of yemen the United Kingdom just like the United States has its dziedzic interest in the region they want to protect these unelected dictatorial monarchical governments in order to secure all Natural Gas Resources and the people of yemen fighting for their liberation is an a thema to their Foreign Policy go. To u. S. National security adviser john bolton says reports about disagreements between donald trump and his top aides are part of a distant from Mission Campaign and by the likes of russia china and iran he also brought an american journalist who write such reports as quote so not a 1st of these regimes north korea iran. Venezuela russia and china pride to. Show this information about the administration and to say that the president his advisors are divided and things like that they asked the nodder firs of these regimes and the American Press immediately pick it up. Come on mr bolton in case youve been living under a rock the past few years u. S. President donald trump doesnt get along too well with the rest of capitol hill close to 30 of his team members have either resigned or were fired since he got into office his term has been haunted by a cascade of information leaks by insiders saboteurs and trump hasnt always been on the same page with the rest of the administration. You think north Korea Remains a Nuclear Threat yes but the president said he doesnt its not what he said i mean i know i know personally we did it and there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from north korea. I had a very good talk with president putin is. That looking at all to get involved in venezuela he was apparently ready to leave after the airport but the russians talked him out of that is that right thats right now it could be because the trump is in a tory asli divisive figure by nature could be because hes flip flops so much that hes policy u. Turns were created into actual flip flops well you know hes sometimes difficult to keep up with and you know after all he doesnt have to be a bad thing a clash of ideas challenging each other on policies is synonymous with democracy isnt it i really didnt use 3 times due to how unbelievable it is that the russians in other bad guys spread this information about to divided opinions of us president and his closest aides seriously when the president and his inner circle had different opinions it is a sign of the democratic process in the country doesnt washington defend this value with such zeal so yeah it could be a good thing except it probably stops being one when things move from the realm of professional to personal to go to work for a man who. Is pretty on discipline and doesnt doesnt like to read doesnt read briefs. Reports doesnt doesnt like to get into the details of a lot of things bricks to listen didnt have the mental capacity needed he was dumb as a rock and i couldnt get rid of him fast enough he was lazy is how we already know a lot about the discord ready in the trumpet ministration from former trump ministration officials i mean lets face it what could north korea do to sow discord in the us what could be his way all of you its doesnt make any sense the white house does not want to appear to be fragile theyre now facing a reelection very soon in 2020 and boldness trying to help trump cover is behind by claiming others are responsible for discord and not those within the wife of course the message being that you know john bolton is looking for a pretext to go to war somewhere and hes a very devious man he likes to write. The man tipped to become britains next pm thinks that threatening a no deal could win concessions from the e. U. Details after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy one from day shouldnt let it be an arms race is often spearing Dramatic Development only loosely im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. To the reason for q. E. 4 is now well under way can taper a ponzi scheme no economics matters only money printing and stock manipulation. Seemed wrong. Just dont all. Get to shape out. And engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
