name became one of the most famous in the world and indeed it became a byword for for explosive control to see when he released the biggest ever set of us the documents by his web site wiki leaks he's going to be interviewing a series of what he called iconoclasts visionaries and power insider than he's going to talk about how to shape the vision of a brighter and better tomorrow that as i say is going to be broadcast exclusively on r.t. and we are hoping that it will be as explosive as the release of those documents was via wiki leaks we can't see any reason why it wouldn't be hundreds of articles from all around the world local newspapers international newspapers everybody seems to be talking about this particularly this morning of course to twitter if there is a light with with rumors about the show speculating about who might be interviewed by judy and i phone and of course is a massive name but that's not the only reason why this will be fascinating it's

going to be films where assaultive been subject to strict conditions things like signing in to the police station every day being essentially under house arrest under the spell conditions for the last four hundred fourteen days even though no charges have been filed the first episode is also going to be shot a week before his supremes court hearing to fight against his actual decision to sweden for questioning on alleged sexual assault charges so as i say no use of rumors about what's going to go on he says going to be a new type of television of course he's no stranger to being on the other side of the interview is table i've interviewed him myself but if you want to find out exactly what's going on you're going to have to stay here on r t my lips are sealed so for all the details and the guests we can't reveal at the moment that the secret but we will be having exclusive trailers and previews here on r.t.c. watch this space. correspondent laura smith reporting right there well meantime r.t. news executive nicholai

a book in describes how the network signed up with julian assange in great britain there were quite interesting discussions in our office after christmas sharing ideas about the show's possibilities and obviously it would be and channels the right now to get our son but i think it's quite natural that the future will be on our t.v. i mean r.t. always tries to go beyond that to see other sides of any new story and sure the real reasons behind the news that you would see on mainstream. when we talk. to them was very calm and relaxed which you would expect from someone who's been under house arrest for more than four hundred days he was very full of ideas and some of them were born as we talked so i think this will be a very hard hitting show. and over to you now to tell us what topics you would like to see julian or starch tackle and expose in his new t.v. series on r t from march from the web i voted r.t. dot com the here are the numbers this hour almost forty percent believe you should

focus on who rules of the mainstream media a quarter think the series should focus on the nato war machine agenda the same number would like to see julian expose how banks rule the world while eleven percent want him to expose who controls the internet tell us what you want to see make a choice right now r.t. dot com. millions of new jobs manufacturing back on track war in iraq over bin laden gone barack obama has set out his stall for reelection and using the annual state of the union address to do it but as i. reports from washington the upbeat tone doesn't quite reflect reality. his goal was to highlight his achievements and lay out new promises as far as the message policies he speech was full of heartfelt success stories about the economy and jobs creation but there is a lot of skepticism among americans social inequality in america is now at

a level unseen since the great depression the top one percent of the wealthiest in the country are making a killing while the middle class is shrinking dramatically and that is getting wider american jobs are being outsourced to other countries president obama's state of the union speech sounded motivational full of good intentions but the fact that almost all his major economic initiatives got bogged down in congress like the jobs act that he put forward last year is giving a sense to many that he might be saying all the right words but they may not be necessarily followed by demons on the foreign policy front he ran on promises to end wars but while he pull troops out of iraq and started winding down the war in afghanistan with a pledge to bring all troops home by two thousand and fourteen america's wars didn't stop president obama bombed levy a last year to the tune of bringing about democracy also the u.s. may now be on the verge of an all out confrontation with iraq in the speech he once

again said all options are on the table washington is now actively building up its military presence in the persian gulf region new u.s. drone bases are popping up in the arabian peninsula so we see that while president obama went through with the promises to scale back on the record of ghana's that he's been actively building up a platform for possibly new wars president obama certainly prides himself on his role in killing osama bin laden and a number of other terrorists but the means by which the u.s. is going about the task of chasing down terrorists raises a lot of red flags so some experts argue that what washington is doing is fighting terror and provoking terror at the same time but in president obama's presentation everything sounds just great on the war on terror front. he's got an interest kind of porting right still to come here for you in the program keeping the business world's top tier ticking along the world economic elite set out to tackle the eurozone recession and make some profit along the way while those at worst hit by

an enormous city millions of people and they're expected to all make their way to talk clear by this evening and really what i'm hearing i've been here a lot this here is a lot more anger today than i've heard at any of the other posts so-called protests which we have seen very often on the streets of cairo and throughout egypt since the fall of mubarak people here saying that their initial goal was to have the regime fall and that is still their goal because the army is still in power my colleague reeva notion has been talking to people and taking a closer look at why people feel the revolution is still very much alive. a year off to its historic revolution in egypt is far from calm protests have become part of everyday life and know that any event one of the revolutions and significant achievements. we could never believe would come out and speak out like this there are several reasons for egypt's people to take out to the streets following the op

rise in the house of mubarak last february the country's economy is struggling unemployment is at its highest in decades and while the movie inactivate islam is dominated parliament debate the country's future resentment rose against men to rule and the feeling they hijacked the revolution is a business and we want them to do what the military should do it protect its citizens and the country well you know what he doesn't want to be sure the. they will not destroy our solutions achievements they betrayed us. the military dominated egypt's politics since the fall of the monarchy sixty years ago some skeptics say the twenty eleven revolution did little to change this trend. when mubarak toppled down people vulcan's the supreme council of the armed forces to lead the transition but the initial euphoria began to fade when the military council was still in place six months later after one bloody crackdown on peaceful

protesters after another claiming at least eighteen lives tober there isn't any doubt left here scaf should go i believe that they're there i mean why i believe that we don't want them anywhere here in this chair that's what i believe in the words and that's what most of what all i know believe and the work whatever as these are works and discard are scared because the boon arabic army liars contain they worked through real the armies wrong doing beat you know female activists attacking field hospitals and conspiracy theories under the military council twelve thousand people have been brought to me to trials that are against less than two thousand in mubarak's thirty years scaf claim it's not leave when the new president is elected in june but few believe the promises that once were broken so easily some also fear that the generals may stay all behind the scenes reluctance to

relinquish their power they've had for decades with protests to show them to leave one thing is clear the fight is not yet over grief notion r t cairo. and i do head over to r.t. dot com for the latest from egypt as well as thoughts on what the revolution is really broad but here's what else we have for you study by right now on our website at three dot com the u.s. tightening the noose around freedom but a former spy chief has come clean about cyber snooping even digital attacks on other countries. and another region could be roped into america's possible campaign against iran with suspicions that georgia's president. might join in to keep his job and us support on the side for more go on to our dot com. as the world's business top brass descend on switzerland of some of the so-called

one percent of saying capitalism is widening the pit of inequality but the economic elite from around forty nations at the davos economic forum are out to save the financial system stem the crisis and of course seal a few lucrative deals lauren lyster is at the ski resort for us where she also met a few locked out of the talks. it's certainly on the agenda talk of remodelling capitalism debate about capitalism and they can talk all they want though you have to wonder how serious people are about that discussion when many of the corporations that are present here are those that have benefited from this this type of capitalism so although klaus schwab the founder of the world economic forum has said that capitalism in its current form has no place in the world around us these are the corporations and banks that are represented here many of which have benefited from government bailouts in the case of banks from central bank easy money policies in the case case of many banks and corporations so whether or not

these are the right people to be having that conversation to be talking about reform i'm not quite sure you also have to remember that while the official genet agenda yes deals with capitalism the unofficial agenda of davos is very much about making corporate deals and that might impact the official agenda as you can probably recall some corporations here shell out up to three hundred thousand dollars for a membership to the world economic forum in order to be here they're shelling out that kind of money presumably for more than to talk about capitalism there have been reports in the past every year of the deals that go on the networking of this some sixteen hundred business leaders including a thousand executives they're here at davos some of these sessions dealing with remodelling capitalism specifically talk about the occupy movement is identifying some of these problems with capitalism that they're supposed to be talking about here at this forum bailouts inequality those being some of the issues however none of the occupy activists have been invited they're building igloos not too far from where the davos forum is taking place they're very much highlighting this occupy

movement that is swept the globe klaus schwab was asked about that he said it's hard to identify a leader that was his excuse we're not likely to see them here unless of course mr schwab himself goes down to those igloos and maybe recruits a few so that we do hear those voices inside the fore. reporting there from you with r.t. it's quarter past the hour russia's president said he's willing to meet with opposition members including representatives of those who protested against what they call the unfair parliamentary vote to me treatment here to force our promise that an exciting political season will follow the upcoming presidential elections let's not get more. standing by a central moscow theater so it sounds like a pretty open agenda of the president here to take us through the highlights of what he had to say. well one of the main points that president medvedev made today was this well he really isn't done with politics just yet now of course he will

step down in the role of president in march after the present new presidential elections but he has said he hinted this perhaps he could appear on the ballot paper again going to see office. not to be a putin has said should he be elected as president in march his elections then he will make to me to get if his prime minister something which may get if they accept it no if it is has said that no matter what happens in the elections in march he will remain in politics he's only forty six years old very relatively young in terms of the political game so he's going to be around for a while yet is basically what he was saying now he also said that he was willing to meet with the leadership of the opposition leadership and the leaders behind protests which took place following the parliamentary elections we saw in december here in russia now he said he wasn't willing to meet with individual protesters but that organizes the people behind the protests that he was willing to sit down with

them and discuss their grievances. this was an address by the president to a group of journalism students at a moscow university plenty of things that were being discussed one of them was the case of. the president saying that the holocaust the case shouldn't become a political football it shouldn't be politicized. and also dismissed rumors they've been circulating that last summer he had planned to release the jailed tycoon he said there's no truth in that whatsoever now because these were journalism students that he was speaking to and the subject of journalism and the media did crop up person him a did of saying that there was too many state owned television stations in russia and that they really need to cut down the number of those perhaps only having worn as the mouthpiece of the government and to have more private television companies and more private news stations in the country. but he's put out of a live in a central moscow thank you. from the current president to someone who wants to be

the next one of russia's richest man mccullough procket off has become the fifth registered candidate in the upcoming presidential election it's the first time he's run and he's considered a dark horse in the race for the kremlin and he did explain to us here at our team why he decided to fight for the top job. people were saying well i make decisions quickly and i guess the first develop within me over a long period of time and then when conditions are right i get a kind of signal that it's time for a change so when i realized that i had to change something virtual i turned to politics back in april when i just joined the right cause project i knew there would be a release on the lawn in a square in the south of iraq swept in that's why i went into politics what do you mean you knew nobody i got the signal this happens to me is no see i foresaw the rises and i sold my last words in advance youth and this time it was the same thing

is it intuition i don't know i guess it's a bit more tricky it's a combination of knowledge experience being aware of the current situation in the country and the world wide and intuition added together all these things enable you to make the right moves. if you were with a profit off that's here in full in just over fifteen minutes time here and now for the meantime though let's get to some other news headlines from around the world this hour time for the r.t. well the al qaeda linked militants have left the central yemeni town of rada which they captured last week in return the insurgents demanded the release of several prisoners in the formation of a council to run the city as news of the gunman's withdrawal spread residents took to the streets in celebration militants control a string of towns in the country but rather was the closest to the capital. torrential rains have brought widespread chaos to southeastern australia several

thanks rory as we've been reporting going to see the world's biggest economic forum is taking place in the swiss resort of course this year the get togethers being held under the banner of reshaping capitalism prompted by four years of financial turmoil and political protests the global elites will grapple with the thorny issue of how to create a fairer world when you see the compensation gaps that exist the unemployment levels that exist whole generations of employed potential employees that don't have jobs today the youth in different parts of the world yeah there are some fundamental issues that have to be looked at and quite frankly if we don't start with ourselves to understand our role from a business standpoint in dealing with these issues i don't know how they're going to be solved i mean to me this is a classic example of how it's a complex issue it clearly requires collaboration between the business community between governments and key policy makers and if that degree of collaboration

doesn't exist it's pretty hard to see how these problems are going to be solved for the long term. market watchers claim this year's likely to be volatile for investors but emerging markets look appealing certainly when it comes to fundamentals which remain strong among the bric economies the risk aversion though comes from the euro zone crisis which is fueling a global recession just shorts all gone from a russian telecoms major m.t.s. believes the emerging markets are the only place to go for those wanting to capitalize on growth. it's sometimes a challenge given the volatility that we see in global economies to get people interested in emerging markets however for the medium and long term we feel that investors need to look towards emerging markets because this is going to be the most natural place for growth in the world russia has what everybody needs resources to some degree intellectual capital and we feel that we're in a good position to capitalize on the long term. move to the markets now where i was
