two am in moscow i'm good to have you with us here on r t our top story wiki leaks founder julian assange threatens to sue the u.k.'s guardian newspaper about its tell all book about the online whistleblower the paper's also being accused of editing the confidential diplomatic cables it got from the website or his lawyer i mean reports on what's behind the bitter dispute. be. they were bedspread laysan exposing u.s. embassy secrets to the world but now wiki leaks in the guardian have rapidly full and outs 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 every day. in 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 cut the world. they cut out everything that was negative. in such a way that either of the guards. would never know how people themselves 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. courageous who would if you institutional allies tommy conscious and weak all editing that seems to match the guardian's liberal agenda as it suggests they rein in opposition is divided something which doesn't fit western narratives in cables about the activities of western companies in kazakhstan 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 with the. payments would influence because our officials to allow the company to obtain business in other words bribing officials to contracts to the companies allegedly involved british gas and any italy's gas giant that this isn't necessarily the story that the gold. wants to

tell that the that there are real pressures on them but it also could be simply that lawyers 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 law. 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 thorough. elsewhere some media commentators say the reason for the guardian's alterations was to help simplify the information it's the only way to be done this so much material and it is so a lot of the form that easy it is is difficult to inaccessible it has to be translated into journalism the 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 that being sued is something the guardian might have to get used to wiki leaks founder julian assange is threatening legal action over the newspapers book which i saw alleges contains malicious libel wiki leaks made a political choice when it decided to publish through the guardian a left leaning newspaper that takes a liberal lie but certainly in this case it has to be the wrong one and with the guardian's recent publication of the book portrayed in the newspaper its dealings with wiki leaks in it deeply under favorable lights it's a relationship that's gone truly sour. london. you're watching our. set for the fence upgrade plus. victims of forward relieving companies in the

banks or tied up in real estate in the us in the u.k. earlier we talked with sorrow fathers international watchers center about the alleged corruption in the country and the role of the west played. well it's hardly surprising that it's coming out now but this is thirty years of absolute corruption and every u.s. corporation that did business in egypt and of course the u.s. military the cia they all knew that mubarak was their man and other words for payoffs he was willing to be a traitor to his own people who have ended up impoverished egypt underdeveloped in infrastructure in educational standards in employment for its young people and yet mubarak one of the richest men in the world and not only mubarak his whole regime is corrupt this goes for saleman it goes for the generals the security apparatus every one of them are in on the take and it's a well known fact it's known very well by the people of egypt just how corrupt it

is and how much they have lost it's also true poor and working people here in the u.s. need to know what it means when u.s. corporations and the u.s. government supports a dictator like this giving billions of dollars in aid again and again and it's money that goes both to mubarak and it goes to military contractors right here and never to the people of egypt russia is said to reinforce its status on the current violence in the far east they've been russia's eastern most border for over sixty years but japan has been trying to claim the islands as its own and extra deployment of defensive weapons was announced by president medvedev on wednesday. i mean you know the arms to be additionally deployed to the cool 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 is given. the order comes in reaction to tokyo's recent reiterated claims over the pacific islands and just before japan's foreign minister visits moscow russia has had full sovereignty over the curls since one thousand nine hundred five but their status remains a major problem in moscow tokyo relations in november japan condemned the visit of president medvedev to the islands but moscow said tokyo shouldn't interfere with its internal affairs. political analyst sergei stroke and says tokyo is now trying to backtrack on its claims and normalize relations with moscow those islands matter a lot in. political the good bit between moscow and japan both sides are looking for the way just to solve the issue and the same time to save

face russia's reaction to this statement made by prime minister khan was a very strong and it seems that the japanese side didn't expect such a reaction the japanese foreign minister to my mate conciliate the restatement saying that prime minister was expressing his present position and i think this is something really unprecedented run foreign minister in a sudden brace trying to correct his prime minister so all in all it seems that japanese side is looking for ways just. to come back to normalcy ass soon as possible and to go ahead on all tracks of russian ship relations. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe prosecutors in italy have filed a request for the immediate trial of prime minister silvio berlusconi on charges of sex crimes that abuse of power he's alleged to have paid for sex with a seventeen year old girl and used his influence to secure her release from custody

on theft charges but was going to strongly denies any wrongdoing and says prosecutors are trying to discredit destroy his career italian premier already faces the resumption of three trials for corruption and tax fraud next month. a series of car bomb exploding there in iraq have killed at least seven people wounded around eighty others it tax happened in the northern city of kirkuk two car bombs were aimed at police patrols wall third device exploded outside a building that houses the kurdish security forces no group has so far claimed responsibility for the attacks. doctors and other health care professionals have clashed with police in athens during a demonstration against the government's austerity measures they says the greek parliament is expected to approve new cost cutting plans that can see medical salaries slashed by a third meanwhile most of the capital's public transport ground to a halt as striking unions protested against the planned restructuring of their loss

making companies. the white house seems to be trying to win over wall street with many high for high profile business leaders installed in top government positions but as r.t. america's lauren lyster reports it has many questioning whether what's good for business is what's good for the citizens 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 through 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 into the american middle class deal or both destined to oblivion because of all this is decided by corporate boards inside the us which are now global corporations those who agree 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. there's no worker movement you know couldn't sauce 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 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 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 the people criticizing corporations it's all about the bottom line and 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 in 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. coming up in a few moments are to speak to a world famous video game creator about the fine line between reality and violent video art stay with us.

the american embassy in tehran is in the hands of students to not. be run thousands of. demonstrators of the american embassy. parties sitting down with the man behind this video game one nine hundred seventy nine revolution as well as many more director producer and writer of documentaries and video games for over fifteen years as well as the mastermind of the groundbreaking ground theft auto franchise movie and the thanks so much for joining us thanks for having me the video games that you have created are hmong the most popular in the world and i want to ask you if you know any numbers in terms of how many break ups or divorces some of your games have cause for people who got so

hooked they couldn't stop well actually when i was casting vice city one of the actors that came in and he said this and that was this for and we explained to them you know it's for granted by city and he just kind of took a step back and kind of apologized and said that he can partake in the casting and basically what happened was that he was playing grand theft auto three and he went up locking himself up in his room while he was actually having a pretty tough time in his marriage he came out two days later from nonstop playing . game to find his apartment pretty much empty and his wife gone and so for that reason he didn't feel like he could you know be a part of the new cast for grand theft auto so it's definitely had an impact was the longest period of time you've heard about when someone would sit down and play your game continuously without i think this guy kind of broke the record he said he went fifty hours straight and he kind of he was wife left and this new game that you're working on one nine hundred seventy nine is based off the history of iran and apart from the fact that you were born there why did you choose this space this

new game off off this country in particular i came to realize that there is a number of different sides to a story and that this aspect if introduced in a game could kind of revolutionize how we play games it's not a matter of bad guys going after good guys or good guys going after bad guys it's a matter of or a whole bunch of people with being in a number of different colors whether they're you ronnie an american pro-democracy pro theocracy whether they want to just make money on the side by sneaking in alcohol or whether they want to make sure that everyone follows the religious rules of islam these are all different stories and to be able to actually convey that and let people interact as those players we just open up this entire genre of gaming but how much of a political context does this game have and especially if we talk about timing for example because of course you know the united states is building up this idea that iran is a very big threat to america and the five that you're working on this game do you

think you'll get some sort of reactions and feedback in terms of you know a political maybe message that you're trying to send out absolutely i mean i think right off the bat it's quite controversial because i am saying that there are no good guys trying to games or the real world in the real world in the real or in games the games that might exist but games are really a reflection of what we've seen in entertainment and what we've seen in politics it doesn't really make a difference. what somebody says is good a word but it's a matter of perspective you know if you're in iran and you feel that the united states is about to attack you and you work as a plumber and you have three kids and you just try to take care of your living you are going to view the united states as a bad guy because they're planning on attacking you i mean this is been pretty much what's been addressed in regards to the number of civilian deaths in afghanistan but on the other side you know you take a look at. some of the good documentaries that have come out of afghanistan you get

to really understand what these u.s. soldiers are doing down there they believe in the cause that they're doing and they believe that they're trying to do something good nobody is to say that this person is right and this person is wrong it's just a matter of what the situation is dictated and the legions of people that are making decisions that is kind of caused these conflicts but the people involved in them might not be the true aggressor there's a number of different facets to it and that they're not pointing to saying that americans are bad or iranians are bad i'm saying the situation is bad there's been quite a bit of controversy about this game call of duty modern warfare two there is episode in there where a terrorist attacks people at a russian airport obviously it's a game but we just saw terror acts take place in a moscow airport and that was pretty similar absolutely what do you make of that it's funny because i played that game and i actually stopped playing that particular point it's definitely

a sad situation what took place in russia that the airport and this media game aspect of it happens i think coincidentally many games seem to on the contrary build up a certain terror act or certain events i know there's a game out there that's called september twelfth and so on which obviously gets people to join because of certain real events that took place in terms of what's happening with games where people are actually jumping on top of controversies. i think it's foolish for us to recognize that controversy and when it comes to game selling when it comes to movies when it comes to anything when it comes to ticket sales is something that drives people to jump on such marketing campaigns i want to ask you this technology is obviously moving very very quickly these days what is the most exciting thing in the world of video games we would you say can expect in the next decade in the next decade i don't think i even i can just tell you that what's exciting me right now is the i pad basically all the tablets in general what

can be played on that in terms of gaming is is amazing terms of gameplay it's just going to get more and more detail and hopefully provide people with greater experiences so we can sorry thank you very much for your time thanks for having me . discover it. communicate with you want to. become free. nature can give you.
