To see equality and justice dont call themselves feminists ive got nothing to with them it isnt. Even midnight here in moscow thanks for joining us on r. T. International. Cofounder may be facing more than a century and a half behind bars in the u. S. But he wont find out whether that will happen until at least next february this is after an extradition hearing in the u. K. Was postponed until that is shoddy edward stashed it with more. But every day it was crunch time for you in the sun just this extradition request was being heard here at Westminster Magistrates Court though he was given a glimmer of hope as he will not face a full extradition until february of next year and 2020 its understood that a 5 day hearing will take place at a later date all. To february the 24th which his lawyers have agreed to the timetable now of course it to follow and did yesterday the u. K. s home secretary such as signing that crucial order that paves the way for this edition of procedure now he believes that this was the skewing the right course of justice but protest as an activist outside westminster much to say school think that this is not the course of justice in fact completely goes against justice and simply they believe that this is the gangs freedom of expression uprising that there are more journalists here complaining because obviously Investigative Journalism is under now we should be released and i think this know enough people will realise this is such an attack im freezing the race and also just over everything for the right of us to know whats going on the things that he exposed the press the american moon mission thats what we should be checking in for out so well today might be slightly more symbolic in terms of laying out the procedures and the very next step it does actually set the ball rolling towards extradition to the United States for 2 in the sun we know in the United States theyve been talked to on to 17 counts under the espionage act for. Classified documents related to the iraq war on the war in afghanistan but also one of conspiracy to hack a government computer to actually make these secret classified documents while some say his crimes his socalled alleged crimes awful whistle blowing and indeed producing enough still Security Risk and threat many say that he will not face a fair trial in the United States and thats an opinion thats been held also by the wiki leaks editor in chief i dont believe that we are going to win this with legal argument there is no chance that 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 opposed to an assault just. Back into the public eye i live this year in april when he was pulled out of the lodge and Ecuadorian Embassy by British Police he was there for a long amount of time in fact 2 and a half 1000 days which is the sum amount of 7 years in that confinement he was of course seeking political asylum he then moved to belmarsh prison where he was serving out his 50 week sentence for skipping fell in 20 trials now this is actually a video filmed inside that belmarsh prison that was obtained by r. T. Roughly which is the video agency and in this footage you can see if youre in a social thing someone may see it didnt get it till its known that hes lost a dramatic amount of weight loss something that his father has voiced concerns of earlier this week and we know that he was also sent to the medical board in prison there but on top of all of this its not just the United States wants to decide hes also want to fight swedish prosecutors for allegations of Sexual Assault something of course good asuncion selfimage lead to noise and he also believes its a pretext to extradite him to the United States earlier i was doing fine Award Winning australian journalist john pilger who was also in the court room behind me when that ruling was indeed and now says he told me that this is an incredibly comfortable moment for freedom of expression universally and we have a direct impact on journalists while 5 charges will be made up the charges are contrary to the 1st available to the us constitution. What they call down which is that he is a publisher. Released information which he has a right to do under the u. S. Constitution the u. S. Wants to see itself as a great fashion. For free speech in which when it a rest of the so much why so many americans. Nervous about it. Because it applies to them to you. Close to very close to everybody who is a journalist who is what they call the 1st to get it. It means that journalists when there are almost certainly be intimidated from during their job. We spoke to tracy versus the duchess of both force and friend richard in the silence she believes that he might not get a fair trial if extradited to the states. June in a sign shes not an american he goes to the americans he wont be covered by free speech 1st amendment of their constitution so its very dangerous for everybody who in any way is working towards revealing the truth whether you are a journalist or a human rights sex but or an environmentalist and any time that you criticize the American Government its secret service in its military you could be literally extradited by the British Government why cant we stand up on our own 2 feet and say no hes a hero he has allowed us to have information which is precious we need to know if i government is committing crimes in more we need to know if its true committing crimes in the democratic process. This man is a beacon of hope for free speech. Among Julian Assange just supporters is lorie love love is a well known british hacker charged he was charged by u. S. Authorities for stealing classified data from Government Agencies such as nasa and the army in 2018 he won a landmark appeal after a british judge ruled against loves extradition to the u. S. Citing fears hed commit suicide in the custody of american or thirties now hes speaking out in support of a sanch. Fighting we will succeed again well bring it. Up yet i would say. Its none of us should be able to live with the tray. Of that courage. That we would have betrayed journalism. With these things. If you could bring. Washingtons claim that the round was responsible for attacking 2 oil tankers in the gulf of oman has had doubt cast on it earlier the u. S. Had presented a video claiming to show iranians removing an unexploded mine from one of the vessels but the tankers owner says that his crew reported the boat being hit by flying projectiles. More than. The crew see they were headed by a flying object we dont think it could have been a bomb attached to them but otoh guards were more as mentioned the u. S. Militarys Central Command claims that this video shows irans responsibility the u. K. Foreign office also confirmed u. S. Accusations saying the revolutionary guard corps should be held accountable irans leader Hassan Rouhani has accused the u. S. Of the stabilizing peace and security in the middle east but americas 60 statement from post said that no one else in the region had the capacity to carry out such an attack. Islamic republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman no proxy Group Operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. Over the last 2 years the u. S. Has been implementing an aggressive approach violating International Law and using its financial and military clout this poses a serious threat to the region into global security. Event in Foreign Ministers branded the claim his country was behind the attacks sabotage diplomacy russias foreign minister said that the us was creating an artificial escalation of tensions in the region with more details his kelly. So there were 2 or oil tankers that were hit. Over your. Boat but i want to know. From both of you. Going on one company here theyre going youve been wondering why were going to. The bother with the civil the spin the did it will get on the. Lets go over the facts now the 1st one belongs to John Fredrickson 2 hes a long time norwegian trading partner of iran his relationship with iran goes back to the 1980 s. One biography even refers to him as the ayatollah as lifeline so at a time when washington is using all kinds of pressure to try and stop or running an oil exports it really doesnt make sense for iran to then lash out and attack one of its oldest friends now the 2nd oil tanker to be hit is even more interesting this is a japanese owned chemical tanker and it was hit at the same time that japans Prime Minister shinzo ave was in tehran meeting with irans Supreme Leader it is a trip on your way to iran from the ancient times of the persian empire and to the present day has been the great country of the middle east and will remain so i mean the future looks so word to believe that at the time that iran was making nice with japan while japan was helping them to find ways to help their oil exports keep flowing despite u. S. Sanctions that iran then turns around and decides to bomb a japanese vessel in fact iran has been rather nice to the United States in the last few days a us resident who is charged with espionage was just released as a gesture of good will so why would they then choose this moment to fire tar paedos in the gulf of oman the Iranian Foreign minister jobbins aris is describing these events as suspicious reported attacks on japan related to tank use occurred while pm was meeting with ayatollah for extensive and friendly talks suspicious doesnt begin to describe what likely transpired this morning while iran is struggling to keep its nuclear deal intact and keep its economy afloat by selling its most prized resources on the International Market like bomb peo would have us believe they then flipped out and torpedoed their 2 key Business Partners now why exactly would iran do that well because theyre the bad guys of course dont ask too many questions hale bopp and r. T. New york. The 2 vessels cooled far in one of the worlds key oil routes near the strait of hormuz on the way in and out of the gulf the incident prompted all prices to surge tehran has threatened to shut the waterway in response to u. S. Threats about sanctions alone do mr a senior lecturer at Lancaster University think that there is no evidence the tankers were attacked by iran. You have to remember that the food does that we see a grainy black and white pictures and he doesnt say whether these are hit on me and because there is no evidence to suggest that it is indeed an iranian battle board and how do we know theyre the people who are on board audience in fact i need the iranians did it why would there be so silly i needed to kind of open themselves up to criticism when the noid very well that there are civilians cameras satellites have all of our going around taking these pictures thats number one and the number 2 is the fact that we how hard a job will it be pointed dollar talk isnt when evidence have been doctored and we have our kind of submits and which are not actually revealing the truth and that is the reason why i would use the very phrase weapons of mass deception. I stay with r. T. More news coming your way after the short break. We are in strange situation where everybody is making a lot of noise about military action against iran but nobody in the part of that alliance actually wants to do it theres no desire for it so they hope that iran makes a mistake and somehow. And then theres a some kind of confrontation and then uranium 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. I think you know cubans all over the world you know all all very similar you know western the western us did not invent democracy you know theres democracy everywhere in World History in india in china if you go far enough back creating inclusion in soviet union after 990 was not a matter of adopting the u. S. Constitution it was a matter of finding what works in that cultural context. You case National Advertising watchdog has banned the promote gender stereotypes they claim sexist campaigns could negatively restrict people and limit the life choices. Well riverdance shows how harmful gender stereotypes in ads can contribute to inequality in society with costs for all of us put simply we found that some portrayals in ads can over time play a part in limiting peoples potential but the government now back now back now back to me sadly he isnt me its the man 3 times a sticky mess. That has reached times to greece plus one. New guidelines apply to all forms of advertising and print online and on t. V. Or radio advertising as well have to tread carefully when women doing the cleaning men struggling with household duties or any promotion of an idealized physical appearance discussed a story with feminist campaigner linda bell last leader of the justice for men and boys party might be counted. But still talking about doing something that we said would happen 2030 years ago because the sex discrimination act since 1975 and there was a promise then. That men and women will be treated equally fairly and weve yet to see it im sorry to say this is of course just the opposite i was again destry bowing down to radical feminism. The idea that theres some big problem here what will you say that linda but only 9 percent of british women suffered and to far as feminists yet feminists have huge influence over of course this can not to do it because all this gender stereotyping thing is just one of countless from this narratives lots of women who want to see equality and justice dont call themselves them this has got nothing to do with them and isnt actually has got to do with the norm like the law has says its 975. 00 sex discrimination that women should be treated no this favorably than men and therefore we dont want to see so. Area type versions and visions of us cleaning out after chaps from the moments that they leave school early full time education to retirement age women are far more likely than men to not work at all or to work part time and this is this is this has got nothing to do with this got to do have a ties and its got to do with gender differences in work ethic and i refer you to dr Catherine Hackett in the world in our social or just who showed in the paper but the phenomenon she called preference theory that for in 7 british men are works but only one in 7 british women is i think this is not about Market Research is about actually law its of our report were projecting British Society as it is and i want my son i want my grandson to be able to clean up after themselves not just to think its a womans job now is that you might might you might think that this is radical frankly this is the 21st century and thats what most of us want me to be nice if you nice if i stop portraying men completes nincompoops and women as saints who you know who you know could never do anything wrong i mean the pandering to female nascar is in the mind. The pandering to female narcissism in advertising is appalling and part of that is denigration of men but. I very much doubt you know that the denigration of men in advertising is going to reduce. The b. B. C. Is facing a backlash from u. K. Pensioners theyre angry have to the broadcaster announced that it was scrapping free t. V.
