live from our studios here in central moscow this is r t with you twenty four hours a day the u.k.'s guardian newspaper is facing accusations of double standards from wiki leaks its founder julian assange just threatened legal action against the british daily over its tell all book about the online whistleblower the newspaper's also accused of editing secret cables that obtained from the site. reports now on what's behind the bitter dispute. 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. live in when they don't want such things to be known for their own deals they will 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. any reader of the killings would never know how those people themselves view their only those the guardian reports ali had 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 buddha few institutional allies hatami cautious and weak. all editing that seems to match the guardian's liberal agenda as it suggests their reign in opposition is divided something which doesn't fit western narratives in cables about the activities of western companies in kazakstan the guardian fail to publish details of alleged bribery the actual cable talk of an internal investigation in a western company over five years during which former employees caused the company to pay five point two million to agents within town the disappearance would influence because our officials to allow the company to obtain business in other words bribing officials for contracts two of 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 there are 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 and they're rich and this is one of the problems with the laws 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 princess who was cocky 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 a lot of the form that easynews 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 legal action under u.k. libel law but 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 saw alleges contains malicious libel zz 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 it has to be the wrong one and with the guardian's recent publication of a book portraying the newspaper's dealings with wiki leaks in a deeply under favorable light it's a relationship that has gone truly sour your average r.t. london. three suspected terrorists have been charged with involvement in last month's bombing in moscow russian security services saying the suspects were

arrested in the southern republican and was taken to the country's capital for questioning. so far security forces have detained three of the suspected accomplices of the suicide bomber two of those three are relatives of that man a sixteen year old brother and a twenty two year old sister at lot of showing that they have identical d.n.a. now this is back to having known about the planned attack but not reporting to the police security forces also found explosives in the house similar to the ones used in the my dear the moment now the third man is not a reality if he's a he's believed to have accompanied the bomber on his way from the republic of and the shirt here to moscow now from the previous roof who also by the investigative committee would know the suicide bomber was twenty years old he was from the republican caucuses republican in who shared his name is. now on tuesday

investigators were meeting with the russia's top senior security officials over the state duma deputies behind closed doors they reveal further information on this group of terrorists now a manhunt is on for some seven people who are believed to have. orchestrated russia's top terrorist claimed that he was the orchestrator of the gen-u. responding he said that made those claims in a video message posted on an extremist web site dol kumar it was known to be not only russia's most wanted man he is also on the international least of terrorists he has links to al qaida earlier he claimed responsibility for the most the matra bombings in twenty turn and for the near speaks press trainer bombing a year earlier well how ever investigators are a little bit skeptical about this video message they do not exclude that. could

have been there must remind behind the attack and still it is just one of the versions which they are considering for this terrorist cells. operating quiet autonomy in the north caucasus and a group which carried out this particular attack might not be directly linked. but of course it will be only facts and further investigation that will reveal whether those claims are justified. we're still ahead on the program for you this victim of corporate greed leading companies in the u.s. or accuser profiting at the expense of low income workers. so that story still to come for you but first russia is to reinforce its military presence on the strategically important in the pacific ocean they've been internationally recognized as russian territory for over sixty years but japan has been trying to claim them as its own extra deployment of defensive weapons was announced by president dmitry medvedev. the arms to be additionally deployed to the coral

islands should be necessary sufficient and modern enough to ensure the security of the xylophones as an integral part of russia undoubtedly we want to expand good relations with all our neighbors but everyone has to understand that these islands are part of russia's territory and are fully covered by our sovereignty we will take every necessary step to reinforce our presence there. the order comes just a few days before the visit of japan's foreign minister to moscow on monday tokyo reiterated its claims over the islands that have been in russian control since the end of world war two japan also condemned the visit of president vet of to the killers in november that moscow said tokyo shouldn't affair with its internal affairs the russian defense ministry says it will drop the deployment program before the end of the month. but more about this i'm now joined live from moscow by political analysts said to get struck and thanks very much indeed for joining us there in a snowy russian capital now some experts say the japanese government is simply

pursuing its own political agenda actually trying to boost its popularity by challenging russia on the cuban island so what do you make of that would you agree . well of course i think that maybe japan japan he's at least can give you more insight on the latest turn arounds in japanese politics but what is clear here in moscow and what we learn from our correspondents in talk it is that it really is a japanese cabinet is in trouble and do it. japanese prime minister not with across his face and stiff opposition inside he's only brutal democratic party and he's desperately trying to do to regain control. over the poorest of the prime minister and do it experts say that also his resignation can build or ruled out so in this situation he has to look for some strong measures some strong moves through to

reinstate his positions to be away from the domestic politics there in japan and what about the diplomatic situation to how do you think tokyo will react to this latest development could we actually see a diplomatic breaking out now between russia and japan over this. well initial russian reaction to the true true true true to the statements made by a prime minister who wished that president mediate of course was the. islands was a very strong and. at seven point japanese site has decided to backtrack on these two because nobody needs that that scandal and if you just analyze cafferty what was said by japanese foreign minister there mr my account of who is expected in moscow this week and he said he asked both sides not to dramatize the situation and even he went as far as saying that. mr khan as the

prime minister just expressed his own personal view on the issue so i think this is an unprecedented. four admits that he's just trying to somehow correct the prime minister. we're not getting particularly brilliant sound quality from you but just just very very briefly. the cure a lot it's all strategically important clearly to moscow but what about economically i mean many people aren't even aware about these are in full well what is the economic state and just what are they so important to moscow in the economic terms just briefly. economic and of course the those islands they important because they have way to reach in even the well in fish but at the same time there's also. they are very important from the point of of military interest as they lie at the crossroads in the pacific that's why everything goes together here economy and military interests will live from moscow thanks very much indeed said you struck on

political analyst from newspaper we really appreciate your time thank you. well let's have a quick look at the other headlines now from. the current moment here. a series of car bomb explosions in northern iraq have killed at least seven people and wounded around eighty others tax happened in the city of kirkuk two car bombs were aimed at police patrols while a third device exploded outside a building that houses the kurdish security forces no group is so far claimed responsibility for the attacks. also a. government minister has been shot dead in his office in what appeared to be a personal dispute officials say jimmy was killed by his driver who may also have been a family member in the city of juba the man also killed a guard protecting the minister before turning the gun on himself it comes days after referendum results confirmed that will become africa's newest independent state. doctors and other health care professionals have clashed with police in athens during

a demonstration against the government's austerity measures it comes as the greek parliament is expected to approve new cost cutting plans which could see medical salaries slashed by. meanwhile most of the capital's public transport. protested against the planned restructuring of their loss making companies. talks aimed at easing tension between north and south korea have broken down officials at the meeting reportedly failed to reach a consensus on an agenda for higher level talks. late last year when the north responded to artillery fire in their territory by shelling a south korean island. the white house seems to be trying to win over wall street with many high profile business leaders installed in top government positions there's artes nor list reports it has many questioning whether what's good for business is what's good for americans to. 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 west which are now global corporates so those who are green say it's right here the problem started that us corporations hijacked american jobs and investment 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 mill 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 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 is 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 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 is running for reelection nor the mainstream media beholden to their corporate owners 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 at this oh yeah definitely definitely profit over people and some economists argue profit comes over america's prosperity to lauren lyster r.t. new york. egypt has seen what's believed to be its biggest anti-government rallies across the country since the protests began over two weeks ago it comes despite

get business access in egypt but also now when they walk quickly suddenly we begin to see you leaks into the media or you supposed to have expensive property in california and so on and this all brings that the very people who are possibly. for him to do what they want all out also. helped start the protests because corruption is a central issue in. international relations expert mark. don't forget there's always more news and analysis on our website it's all t dot com here's what's lined up for you on line. trouble in the. over two hundred passengers were forced to spend several. ground as the plane circled. daylight saving time.

a. we think that they will hike rates and the central bank is reluctant because of they kept telling flows concerns because oil prices are high and if they hike rates this may trigger more inflows into russia but we think they will move gradually and expect only fifty basis points for the first quarter so it's either to hike by twenty five basis points or one by by fifty but most probably the first option because central banks so far has increased the reserve requirement for max now how effective first step it oh well it's a first to have prayed so. taken alone it's really it's really minor but it's a very strong signal and one hundred basis points in reserve requirements for foreign liabilities is a signal that the central bank is taking this seriously. part of the molecules close to the united states did not start trading. too negative and this is threatening to stop the dow's seven day winning streak european stocks ended lower
