Real imbalance in the extradition treaty between washington and london. I think that any extradition counsel whether. For the from the crown or from the defense is going to understand as in many other extradition proceedings particularly one thats high profile like mr sawyer that politics is going to come into play i think its shame i dont think that it should come into play in any extradition proceeding i think that an extradition hearing should be based solely in the in the resulting decision either for or against extradition should be based solely on the law but i also believe that thats a naive approach and i do think that politics will factoring in post 911. 00. The u. S. And u. K. Entered into an expert titian treaty that provides for a lower. Standard of proof that the us passed a my to have someone extradited so its much easier for the us to have one extradited from u. K.

Somehow and then does it some kind of confrontation and then the iranians will be forced to come to the table you know begging for some kind of solution on american terms but you know i think that is dreaming thats a pipe dream. Welcome back a new alliance of the euro skeptic parties in the European Parliament have come together to form a book called identity and democracy they will be the 5th Largest Group in the parliament with around 10 percent of seats theyve also now announced that they intend to oppose the extension of russia sanctions on his riff and. We have been hearing about the nationalist alliance in the European Parliament for quite some time already and on thursday in brussels the leader of Frances National rally magnet then announced it officially saying it is a drastic change to the political chess board of the European Union identity and democracy or shortly aidid thats the blocks name will unite the right wing parties from 9 European Countries common direction common goal to take power from brussels and give it to the country members capitals for that very reason they are often referred to in the media as you are skeptics shortly after the new born Party Presentation its core chairman who is also known here in germany as the federal spokesperson for the alternative for germany a right wing Party Presented one of the features of the parties who are us that is definitely too different from the European Union sanctions against russia make no sense lets take a listen we oppose the extension of sanctions they did not think the actions of russia we can extend them for another 10 years it will not change anything it came less than a week after the russian president Vladimir Putin said that russia is dreaded to move towards the European Union but the you should take the 1st step if the use policy towards russia changes will not only welcome it will take reciprocal steps this also applies to the country or sanctions we were 1st to apply after the certain restrictions on us then you alliance will take 73 seats in this 751 seat European Parliament 10 percent compared to 5 percent in the last previous significant change 8 makes it to feast Largest Alliance in the palm and which makes the chances are very high that the party will be successful in pushing forward its policy and we indeed are going to see the changes then talked about there are many lawyers of.

Us National Security advisor john bolton says reports of disagreements between donald trump and his top aides are part of a disinform ation Campaign Carried out by the likes of russia china and iran and also branded us journalists who write such reports as stenographers of these regimes north korea iran and. Venezuela russia and china pride too. So information about the administration and to say that the president his advisors are divided and things like that the stenographers of these regimes in 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 and 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 read a news 3 times due to how unbelievable it is that the russians in other bad guys spread this information about a divided opinions of u. S. President and his closest aides seriously when the president and his inner circle have 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 briefly. Reports doesnt doesnt like to get into the details of a lot of 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 in the tribal ministration from former tribe it ministration officials i mean lets face it what did north korea did to sow discord in the us what could be his wayward view it doesnt make any sense the white house is now 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 with and why of course the message being that you know john boltons looking for pretext to go to war somewhere hes a very devious man he likes to write.
