10:32 pm
do you advise that working to r.t. now through the course of your work it's reasonable to assume that you have star insights into how political decisions are being made what do you make of the recent events in the middle east and north africa do you think that we're seeing genuine social unrest or are we seeing some kind of orchestrated revolt and if so who do you think is behind or whether it's genuine change in some parts of the middle east i mean egypt is clearly cummings and i was concerned again for the egyptian revolution as to when where we could saw a changing of the changes in. maine something same existing power structure when something really different was happening after mubarak played. you saw really revolutions occurring in every institution for we've been here from alexandria. so that sort of change it's hard for them to know what's happening in some other countries. different situation in libya. we have
10:33 pm
all been a state actors in different areas but something is going on i think that because now it is normal for neighboring countries to have interconnections with. activists and they from a country whose families in different countries businesses in different countries and perspectives from them made me uncomfortable that's normal when outside forces from very very far flung countries start to take an aggressive role in a regional affair. then we have to look a bit more inside what's going on is not normal so what's happening in libya for example is not normal and social networking what role do you think sites like facebook and twitter have played in the revolutions in the middle east how easy would you say it is to manipulate media like facebook in particular on. the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented and here we have the world's
10:34 pm
most comprehensive database about people and their relationships in names that addresses their own cation this unification is we. don't really all see the we've in the united states all accessible to us intelligence facebook. google yahoo all these made him a civilization have built meaningful grayson's for us intelligence but it's not a matter of serving as it being that they have a need to face it they have developed for us intelligence communities now is it pick a step facebook. is actually run by u.s. intelligence now it's not like that it's simply that u.s. intelligence is able to bring to bear legal and political pressure to them and it's costly for them to hand out records and one by one so they have automated the process everyone should understand that. we may now be afraid to face book they are
10:35 pm
doing free work for the united states intelligence agencies. and building is not a place for that let's talk about. elitists or wiki leaks cables that has been released they show the u.k. as a haven for extremism with at least thirty five guantanamo detainees having at least passed through the u.k. is the u.k. still a haven for terrorists i know i would still be a haven for terrorists but it is certainly a haven for oligarchs and former regime dictators that have come here i mean you remember the famous pinochet trial of the extradition of permission from the u.k. in which the. resistance. incredibly using a lawyer that he was involved in in trying to fix it right and me from the united kingdom now part of that is perhaps good it's an example of true blue isn't it in
10:36 pm
the united kingdom everyone come here we can. on the other hand it does seem to be a good connect between is it really supporting free speech activists like me who come to the u.k. but on the other hand it is supporting people like sons of gadhafi and they're going to turn over information roy has wiki leaks released it now i mean it seems to sort of sort of to be to be off to the fact is it because obama has recently announced his we're election campaign and obviously closing guantanamo was one of his main election promises was a number of reasons why we released him now. the primary one is that we are a small and i think very committed one and last year we came under its ordinary attack and all these things continue to go on so they really dampen down their ability to move quickly and partly because the timing is good obama has given up on
10:37 pm
closing guantanamo i decided to reopen the proper exists and we now have a situation where even the. illustration forty eight of the people who were in court are completely innocent and they should be sent something they don't think that it's not right so completely innocent people incarcerated for years and years and years no trial and no hope nobody will know no country will return including the fate of the united states has made them it's a problem. in nine states which involved in rounding up these units and people setting up a process that was from the very beginning corrupt there's a reason why they're in one problemo and not on the us mainland and not in our country and that reason was to hide them and keep an outsider look just like you had caribbean island from creation money laundering united states was engaging people doing ok let's move on and talk about your media partners one of which is
10:38 pm
the guardian with whom you are now involved in a dispute that you chose them as your primary english language partner the distributor saying that we can these cables and now guardian journalists to publish this book on wiki leaks which you say is an attack on you how would you describe following that the gods is the guardian stance on whistleblowing and media freedom in general and they are they are publishing organizations so of course they want as much right for them to propositions as possible that's a natural self interest what they have done with this cable cooking i mean you see incredible reaction over reaction of cables is they have pushed the right of the people to know the very very edge and what they're concerned about . it is any possible attack on him but we have seen this sort of abuse. of the material that we have provided. several times and the guardian guardian is
10:39 pm
the worst offender but we saw it also by the new york times and york times we've acted a sixty two page cable down to two paragraphs and this is completely against the agreement that we originally set up with them on the removal of. well see you that agreement was that the only redactions that should take place to protect people's lives should be no other. reduction not to protect reputation not not to protect the guardians profit of it only to protect lives what happens in the west is that there is no border between state interest and commercial interests. the edges of the state as a result of privatization follows them blurred out into the edges of companies and when you look at how the guardian behaves or how the new york times behaves. it is
10:40 pm
part of that marriage of corporate and state interests seamlessly bring into the guardian is concerned i don't really about being criticized by these but i would introduce about lawsuits experienced. driven by oligarchs driven by people powerful enough to push. a call case forward let's talk a little bit about you and what you are going through at the moment you are currently fighting extradition to sweden what are your fares should you be extradited that the problem is in two parts. the united states is trying to give up an extension case only because you know that. just today we see a new subpoena coming out of the secret grand jury that is operating in alexandria virginia is trying to get out this is pretty much
10:41 pm
a case against them. it is. building their case and whatever country i mean once he decides to indict they will try to extort money from that country. possibly not just me possibly at the start. and the other problem with the swedish extradition is that the process itself has been corrupted. so it was probably from the very beginning that it would seem corruption in the swedish media we've seen. all sorts of strange actions in relation to how that this case is progressed and what message you think it would send to the world if the u.k. did turn around almost unexpectedly at this point it seems and refused to extradite . on which country so here's the sort of calculations going on in the united kingdom. the united kingdom wants to keep its various levels wants to keep its
10:42 pm
going to relationship with the states. so if the u.k. was to reject the u.s. it's additional order that would pose terrible problems for similarly if it was to reject the swedish text and that would pose problems for because it would look like if we see some hardening i mean this is the sort of difficult situation in afghanistan where the p.d.p. was harboring a large. prison response to any country which he used to be harboring us as united states is trying to conduct its aggressive response. faces political pressures and the united kingdom. does attempts to extract mean the united states. faces a difficult position weekly. which is the bulk of people who like clinton supporter
10:43 pm
and finally julian who do you consider to be your number one enemy. number one enemy is ignorance. and i believe that is the number one enemy of everyone. is not understanding what is actually going on world and so i mean when you start to understand that you can make difficult decisions in a vacant plans now chris news he was promoting ignorance of all those organizations that tried to keep things secret. and those organizations which distort truth from nation to make it faults misrepresentative in this latter category. it is deadly and. it really is my opinion that the media it in general so backed we we have to question when the world will be better off without him altogether. there is no distortive to how the world actually does.
10:44 pm
because the result is we see wars and we see corrupt governments continue work one of the hopeful things i've discovered is that nearly every war this is started in the past sixty years has been a result of media lies and the media could have stopped it if they had such deep in their head and we printed government propaganda they could stop it but what does that mean well that means basically populations that are not. and populations have to be fooled into world's population willingly and with open eyes going to work so that if we have a good media environment then we will also have a piece of them planets are thank you very much.
10:45 pm
we've got. the biggest issues get the human voice ceased to face with the news media and. the week's top stories from last season u.s. special forces assassinated osama bin laden in pakistan bringing cheering crowds american streets but leaving going to contradictory accounts are the words and why the world's number one terrorist was killed rather than red states. fighting harder to tell find and lead a near the city of misrata the last rebel stronghold in the west of the country this comes as nato considers funding the rebels have come from kentucky's frozen assets with russia of warning belise against taking a third step in breach of the un security council motion to protect civilians. says here in times in creep sars that stood by defiant protests to the thick you're
