watching our team nine in the morning here in moscow welcome to the program and wiki leaks founder julian assange may be in a legal fight against being sent to sweden over sexual assault accusations but he is also set for another u.k. court battle he's threatening to bring a libel action against the guardian newspaper which helped release american war logs and secret diplomatic cables obtained by wiki leaks assad is understood to be angry at claims in a book the newspaper published about the whistle blowing website well the book says a song believe that informants mentioned in the leaked war documents would deserve it if they were killed as a result of the leaks and authorities there and it has found out this is not the only thing the guardian has done to cause cracks in their relationship with the son . they were bedfellows in exposing u.s. embassy secrets to the world but now wiki leaks and the guardian have rapidly fallen out of love and it's turning nasty in the original agreement between wiki

leaks and its partner publications the partners was to help publish cables on the whistle blowing web site blocking out names to protect the innocent was allowed but sources close to wiki leaks maintain the guardian went one step further accusing the newspaper of redacting the cables to suit its own political and editorial agenda something the guardian denies one of the alleged missions focuses on iranian dissident politicians and the guardian we. left. wing they don't want such things to be known for their own deals they were basically want to cover the world and so view they cut out everything that was negative. in such a way the reader of the guards. or of the killer would never know how those

people who own selves view. the guardian reports early have been a is just another political liar an intriguer. but what it leaves out is his why did description of the opposition as lacking organization and preaching problems of ultimate direction and leadership specific opposition figures are very stubborn but not charismatic karoubi courageous bood if you institutional allies hatami cautious and weak. all editing that seems to match the guardian's liberal agenda as it suggests the iranian opposition is divided something which doesn't fit western narratives in cables about the activities of western companies in kazakstan the guardian failed to publish details of alleged bribery the actual cable talked of an internal investigation in a western company over five years during which former employees caused the company to be five point two million two agents with the. payments would influence because

artificial to allow the company to obtain business in other words bribing officials for contracts to the companies allegedly involved british gas and any italy's gas giant that this isn't necessarily the story that the guardian wants to tell that they were editorial pressures on them but it also could be simply the lawyers at the guardian are getting a bit jumpy and saying well look we can't accuse people of bribes because they're incredibly powerful they're rich and this is one of the problems with a lot of libel and the lawyers at newspapers is that they're actually only afraid of the rich and powerful ordinary people they will say almost anything about them because. these people don't have the means to sue the guardian. verging on rude in kyrgyzstan. although britain's prince andrew may have wished the guardian had edited information about his behavior in kyrgyzstan more thoroughly elsewhere some

media commentators say the reason for the guardian's alterations was to help simplify the information it's the only way it could be done there's so much material and it is so the form that easy it is difficult to inaccessible it has to be translated into journalism people who understand the guardian declined to give us an interview but did send a statement saying they redacted cables for two reasons to protect sources who might be placed at risk or to protect the guardian. from a legal action on the u.k. libel law being sued is something the guardian might have to get used to wiki leaks founder julian assange is threatening legal action over the newspaper's book which i thought alleges contained malicious labels wiki leaks made a political choice when it decided to publish through the guardian a left leaning newspaper that takes a liberal line but certainly in this case is going to be the wrong one and with the guardian's recent publication of

a book portraying the newspaper its dealings with wiki leaks a bit differently under favorable lights it's a relationship that's gone truly sour your average artsy rugged. and us president barack obama seems to be trying to win over wall street by asking them to help tackle what he calls burdensome corporate tax but with his appointment of high profile business leaders to government positions it has many questioning where his loyalties lie artie's lauren lyster has more. for two decades jobs and dollars have flown out of the us and across the pacific meanwhile the american people have suffered high unemployment and a diminished standard of living looking for someone to blame politicians point to asian countries on the rise seemingly at america's expense the american people have also borne the brunt of china's mercantile trade policies which promote trade surpluses to cheap exports based upon an artificial depreciation of china's

currency overlooked in washington is the us corporate jungle it's become the elephant in the room this is not the explain to the american working class and to the american middle class they are both destined to oblivion because of all this is decided by corporate boards inside the us which are now global corporates so those who agree say it's right here the problem started that us corporations hijacked american jobs and invest. dollars taking them overseas with free rein to boost their bottom line fueled by this mindset so we do look allies two ways of the sellers are nailed there's no worker movements to you know cut us off from our maximization of profits and in the us it appears no lawmakers will try to cut them off either president obama after pushing to regulate the business community has taken to embracing it on here in the interest of being more neighborly he wants to

befriend the u.s. chamber of commerce if we had brought over a fruitcake when i first moved in we would have gotten off to a better start making up for lost time he appointed a j.p. morgan wall street executive to be his chief of staff. and he tapped the c.e.o. of america's fourth largest corporation to head as council on jobs and competitiveness that's jeff immelt of general electric i'm confident that they'll generate good ideas about how we can spur hiring educate our workers to compete in the twenty first century and attract the best jobs and businesses to america rather than seeing them spring up overseas but optimism can overcome reality what's good for a company like g.e. isn't necessarily what's good for america g.'s responsibility is to do what's best for g.e. if that's also best for america great and it's not too bad and that goes for any company but staring powerful corporate money and interests in the face you don't

hear the president saying that this guy's running for reelection nor the mainstream media beholden to their corporate owners when you have journalists treading lightly around corporate and governmental elites it almost defeats the reason for their even existing the people criticizing corporations it's all about the bottom line find themselves locked out of the conversation like these plant workers fighting their company to keep their medical benefits they argue when it comes to u.s. corporations the priorities are this so it's about profits over people i guess so yeah definitely definitely profit over people and some economists argue profit comes over america's prosperity too it's quite often that what's good for business isn't good for america lauren lyster r.t. new york. and still ahead in the program abused at home shot to six removed that a woman dies every forty minutes in russia at the hands of their partners.

to. find out why the legendary russian military helicopter alligator is so formidable all that's in a few minutes here on our t.v. . well two hundred passengers were forced to spend a several panic stricken hours in the air as their plane circled a siberian airport the plane had taken off from the city of gamut of all but was then diverted to nearby novosibirsk let's get the details from marty's and never tell you what so that's all you tell us exactly what happened. both over two hundred people were looked up on the plane that was making circles around the airport where it's departed from and the people in the plane knew that the plane was defective as after it's all from the airport camera over the plane's shafts he failed to go up so force the pilot could not proceed with the flight and was forced to burn fuel flying around when the decision was finally made to make an emergency

landing at the city of new c.b.s. luckily by that time and the other plane has already been waiting for the passengers in order to deliver them to their destination point to the city of bangkok in thailand a look at the no one was injured but ambulances and emergency service workers work we do on the ground in order to provide help to the passengers if needed luckily none of them needed any medical help they only help they might be needing after this flight is of course psychological help as they must've been in a state of shock spending that much time there knowing that there was something wrong with my all right thank you very much for updating us on the situation artie's. now in egypt constitutional amendments intended to diffuse public anger. have backfired after thousands protested in the parent rejection of the proposals the demonstrators are maintaining pressure on president mubarak to step down despite the government announcing plans for a peaceful transfer of power meanwhile the group human rights watch has confirmed

almost three hundred people have been killed since the start of the protests although there is no official death toll given how the vice president announced militant islamists linked to al qaida were among the thousands of prisoners who fled egyptian jails during riots last month omar saliva courted by the u.s. and israel is now amassing power but many experts say lack supports of the opposition and the egyptians. took over as the head of the egyptian equivalent of the cia the general intelligence services in one thousand in ninety three and that's a position he held until two weeks ago when he became vice president each passing day diminishes the appeal of silly mind he did something very in some ways it undermined his credibility as a power broker with the protesters he were going to use to meeting two days ago with a hand selected group of people that he wanted to speak with i'm including members

of the muslim brotherhood and the people who attended the meeting thought it was a talk to talk about talking in other words to set some ground rules for what would be happening but in fact immediately after the meeting he came out and told the egyptian people on state t.v. that they reached a consensus and that the consensus that essentially been what the government wants which is protesters go home and everything more or less stays the same and so people who participated in those talks really i think felt had and that significantly diminishes so in minds credibility in egypt. well with international focus shifting to the situation in the middle east russia is proposing to send a security council mission to the region it's obvious schork in russia's ambassador to the u.n. says it could help provide international support and move ahead a stalled israeli palestinian negotiations we are making this proposal now because we are concerned about the situation in the middle east as we all know the efforts

to restart the israeli palestinian talks at an impasse and the situation in the region is quite fragile and is fraught with further possible complications. if it gets the go ahead it would be the first security council mission to the middle east in over thirty years the proposal comes as the latest round of israeli palestinian talks ended without a significant result while russia is a member of the middle east peace quartet the group met last week on the sidelines of the unix security conference and strongly backed the idea of strengthening the council's role in negotiations. well there's always more news and analysis on our website that's r t dot com and here's what's lined up online right now so it's allowed to spend billions of dollars on its army and even has compulsory military service allows a country is not involved in conflicts the locals are pushing for a complete album of the armed forces. in russia will no longer be changing

twice a year to find out why and what benefits this may bring to our website that's our dot com or our you tube page. former u.s. defense secretary donald rumsfeld has been promoting his memoirs highlighting his years as pentagon chief well in an interview with the fox news channel he not only defended the iraq invasion but also called guantanamo base detention center as one

of the finest prison systems in the world well brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition says it's because of rumsfeld that the world now sees america as complicit in the business of torture it's set up an interrogation regime but a lot. starting of course anchoring with grave that allowed the american government to be understood by the entire world is nothing but torture inc torture incorporated that he helped set up along with the cia not only not only the guantanamo bay which is the un described as a torture center but all sorts of black cold prisons and secret detention centers where people were horribly tortured and murdered in fact and now he has to describe this is something that was good so of course from the point of view of rumsfeld and bush and cheney they want to rescue their image they want the american corporate media to treat them kindly they want of course as they do constantly to make mega millions of dollars from this kind of promotion but i think the record is so clear

the world recognizes the bush administration is nothing but torture in going at the center of that at the center at the top of the command was donald rumsfeld secretary of defense. now a woman dies every forty minutes of domestic violence attacks in russia meanwhile a lock of adequate protection leaves hundreds of thousands of victims on able to report the abuse to the authorities well there are health centers for victims but they are far and few between and. discovered too often victims and suffering in silence it was a vicious cycle at the place we had clients he raised it happened so many times how done for as long as i could but when i realized that it could end up dead i found out about the center where they help women took my child and ran to save my life. it was at this help center named ideas that where he really was finally able to cope with the scars left by years of emotional and physical abuse the flip side

of my child witnessed it all and it's twice as hard for me to understand that i told the rates that all of it i thought i was guilty for something that i've done something wrong. research conducted by n.g.o.s shows fourteen thousand women lose their lives to domestic violence in russia every year that means that every forty minutes a woman dies at hands of her husband tens of thousands more continue to suffer the abuse but the numbers are all approximate because often the victims choose to stay silent about their plight. as store go aspect is a plea here traditionally beatings weren't thought of as a problem beating means loving as the old russian saying goes ninety percent of the time women don't turn to authorities for help going to the police is viewed as betrayal by their husbands the woman is afraid to destroy the marriage whether it's because she can't provide for itself or for the sake of her children. unfortunately

existing laws make it hard for victims of domestic abuse to get adequate protection . we must change the legislation so that the government may be able to interfere with the personal lives of citizens in cases of domestic violence in syria times we had such laws but every individual has to be able to prove that they were abused on their own it means many russian women choose to stay silent about aggression towards them sometimes until it's too weight in gold quality moscow. well a brief look at some other world headlines now prosecutors and it will be a request for the prime minister silvio berlusconi to be tried for consorting with prostitutes and abuse of power berlusconi is alleged to have paid for sex with women including a seventeen year old girl well there have been violent protests nirvana do bad the rest of nation of the prime minister berlusconi strongly denies the accusations and

unveiled known as the k a fifty two it is equipped with a state of the art weapons are going to have it checked out the military might of the flying russian machine. around a military air base in central russia and that is the common fifty two also known as the alligator and like the russian air force receiving the latest batch we ourselves were able to take us back to one of those monsters. facing this thirty reeling in a cannon can pierce through armor but obviously it's not the only weapon this aircraft can be equipped with a deep tank this else sells bombs all of them installed on the wings here and make this aircraft a real predator in this cries now the cockpit is the great office and that's what she can see one of the main differences of this military helicopter from all the other attacks choppers in the world the crew which consists of two people they sit

side by side just like you'd go to the core of a lake in the aquash when we're that close to what you claim you know this is so much easier to. work together in battle and collaborate for the oil it's the force would you work and attack or do you know the stuff. you've probably already noticed this unique a rotor system officially it's called a coaxial rotor system and it's a trademark. bureau and is meant to provide extreme. with these armored plates on the sides here and the in the you lower parts of the aircraft this is just really one predator really hard to get you got it was going off forty central russia. in a few moments the business update with kareena to stay with us.
