it's six am in the russian capital i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story wiki leaks founder julian assange has threatening to sue the guardian newspaper over its tell all book about the online whistleblower the newspaper is also being used to editing the confidential diplomatic cables it got from the website or his laura amid reports on what's behind the bitter dispute. they were better than exposing us 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 were to help publish cables on the whistle blowing website 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. know of. they don't want such things to be known for their own deals they will basically want the world. view they cut out everything that was good to a boy or girl position. in such a way that either of the guards virtually any that are of the killings would never know how those people themselves view their only those the guardian reports early haven't they is just another political liar an intriguer. but what it leaves out is his why did description of the opposition as lacking organization and featuring problems of ultimate direction and leadership specific opposition figures are.

stubborn but not charismatic karoubi courageous who do few 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 fail 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 pay five point two million to agents within town the disappearance would influence because our professionals 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 the 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 prince andrew was cocky. verging on route in kyrgyzstan. since 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 still the way it should be done there's so much material and it is so a lot of the form that he sees 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 were directed cables to two reasons to protect sources who might be placed at risk or to protect the guardian from legal action on the u.k. libel law that being sued is something the guardian might have to get used to wiki leaks founder julian assange threatening legal action over the newspaper's book which i just contains malicious labels wiki leaks made a political choice when it decided to publish through the guardian a left leaning nice paper that takes a liberal but certainly in this case to be the wrong one and with the guardian's recent publication of the book portraying the newspaper its dealings with wiki leaks in it deeply under favorable lights it's a relationship that country at least our. stay with us here on our. set for defense of. victims of corporate greed leading companies in the

us profiting at the expense of the. first three people have been charged with involvement in last month's bombing of moscow's domodedovo airport russia's security services say the suspects were arrested in the southern republican. the suicide bombing in january killed thirty six and injured more than one hundred eighty. more. 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 factors of 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 idea of 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 reports or by the investigative committee would know the suicide bomber was twenty years old he was from the republican caucuses republican in will share his name is. now on tuesday investigators were meeting with russia stop senior security officials over the state duma deputies behind closed doors they rebuild further information on this group of terrorists now a manhunt is on for some seven people who are believed to have. orchestrated the attack russia's top terrorist claimed that he was the orchestrator of the gen-u. responding. made those claims in a video message posted on an extremist website doku umarov 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 metro bombings in twenty turn and for the near ski express train bombing a year earlier while wherever investigators are a little bit skeptical about this video message they do not exclude that. could have been a must remind behind the attack and still it is just one of the versions which they are considering this terrorist cells. raising quite a tone i'm asleep in the north caucasus and a group which carried out this particular attack might not be directly linked to the local model but of course it will be only facts and further investigation that will reveal whether those claims are justified. or you can always find more on our website along with blogs analysis and video and a whole lot more at our team dot com here's what's online right now. hala gators in the sky also known as a k a fifty two helicopter it's

international companies his money allegedly hidden away in swiss banks or tied up in real estate in the e.u. western k. earlier we talked to sara flounders from the international action center about the alleged corruption in the country and the role the west may have 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 set to reinforce its status on the current islands in the far east they've been russia's eastern most border for more than sixty years but your pen has been trying to claim the islands as its own and action appointment of defensive weapons was announced by president medvedev on wednesday. 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 three force our presence in. as the order comes as a reaction to tokyo's recently reiterated claims over the pacific islands and just before japan's foreign minister visits moscow russia has had full sovereignty over the curls and 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 the kremlin said tokyo shouldn't interfere with its internal affairs its. political analyst sergei stroke on says tokyo is now trying to backtrack on its claims and normalize relations with moscow. those islands met a lot in. a political deal between moscow and japan both sides are looking for the way just two to solve the issue and the same time to save

face russia's initial reaction to the 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 and my heart mate conciliate three statement saying that prime minister was expressing his present position and i think this is something really unprecedented run foreign minister in a sudden ways trying to correct his prime minister so all in all it seems that the japanese side is looking for ways just. to come back to normalcy as soon as possible and to go ahead on all tracks off russian ship a nice relations. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe prosecutors in italy after a quest for the immediate trial of prime minister silvio berlusconi on charges of sex crimes and abuse of power he's alleged to have paid for sex with

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 corporations so 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 sellers are neil 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

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. stay with us coming away in a few moments artie speaks with a world famous video game designer about the fine line between reality and violent video art stay with us. a little.

bit the american embassy in tehran is in the hands of students tonight. we run thousands of. demonstrators at 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 grand theft auto franchise movie considering the thanks so much for joining us thanks for having me the video games that you have created are among 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 caused 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 four and we explained to them you know it's for grand theft auto vice city and he just kind of took a step back and kind of apologize and so that he can partake in the casting and basically what happened was that he was playing grand theft auto three and he might have 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 the game to find his apartment pretty much and he 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 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 see why his wife left him 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 to base 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 would 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 fact 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 kind of games or the real world in the real world in the real or in games the games that might exist but games are really in 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 attacking 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 of their doing and they believe that they're trying to do something good nobody is to say that this person is right 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 i'm 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 in that were 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 the airport and this video 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 in 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 when it comes to games 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 and the next decade who are that 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 start. thank you very much for your time thanks for having me. wealthy british style. is not on the title of.
