to profits and those from interests. me bring you the opinion of the internet activists to the anonymous group of these hackers have replaced the media needs of a good message of social rest. now washington says it's planning to build anti missile shields in both asia and the middle east the controversial east european project but says president obama continues to push u.s. interests at the nuclear security summit in the south korean capital seoul which has entered its second day now. the militants force. it does look like president obama is taking the center stage on almost every single corner when it comes to this summit he did say that the nuclear weapons continue to be a threat which the world places today that's one of the most imminent threats and then apparently the way to change that for the united states is to create more missile defense shield all over the world their plans or such missile defense

shield in eastern europe and now the united states are hoping to build more of them washington is going to be working closely with south korea and japan if they're saying this is to conference possible threats from north korea or iran they're also fears that such plans will not go down well with china and russia who might see it as a threat to their security and also of course the reminder that is already unhappy with the u.s. plans to build a missile shield in eastern europe and that was one of the main topics of discussion between president medvedev and obama on the first day of the summit and there was of course the now infamous remark which was that all record by president obama who seemed to say that you cannot deal with the issue of missile defense at the moment because of the elections here and today we're getting a statement that is saying again on the matter of american specialists in that area will be working closely together with the russians over the next nine to ten months

in order to solve the issue of missile defense by twenty eight thirteen north korea's going to launch a satellite next month and that is something which is being seen by the united states and south korea is a missile test and they're adamantly against a bargain bamma rated the country that patients and threats the country isn't going to win any realized he called in china to press on but by looks at what the united states is really trying to do is to heighten its presence in the region particularly in the asia pacific region. it has been doing so right now in three bases out in australia i don't he has more than twenty thousand military personnel think friends in south korea so by the looks that washington really wants to make its presence known in the asian region for eric singer of kin the co-founder of a campaign to end the korean war and the u.s.

involvement in military games in the korean peninsula is aimed at spreading its influence in the asia pacific region a u.s. has its eyes on china it has its eyes and maintaining its military superiority in the region you have to remember that south korea is the largest purchaser of conventional weapons from the united states and any other country in the world there's a lot of money involved in this process and there is an eye on china to kind of flex their muscles and show that the u.s. still has. a role in the region and we really need to find a way back to the table not see individual acts as a provocation north korea has a right to put a satellite into space as other nations do but let's demilitarized let's look at the base issues let's look at getting a peace treaty to end the korean war finally and then i think these kinds of issues one arrives. atomic clouds. can see russia

from its intentions. will north korea into the fold. the two thousand and twelve nuclear security summit. on r.t. . by washington's relentless pursuit of wiki leaks founder julian assange that edge the whistleblower bradley manning is no secret but now as things are in a court now reports of a two man has gotten us journalists worried or they too could soon find themselves behind bars. he's an australian citizen in the custody of britain fighting extradition to sweden julian assange just eight plays out like a game of chess and no one wants the king of wiki leaks more than america wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks when he leaves since january two thousand and eleven washington has had plans for a song i secret uncovered earlier this month after five million confidential emails

from the global intelligence company stuff or were published by guess who we are in a defendant is outside of the us they'll get an indictment which is secret they'll see all the charging documents the indictment they will ask corner arrest warrant and that matter will also be sealed that way the u.s. stands behind a big large boulder if you will and then jumps out from that boulder and arrest someone under house arrest for more than a year assigned has not been charged with any crime in any country though sweden wants to question him over sex related allegations the u.s. meanwhile is determined to punish the forty year old girl payback for exposing confidential cables repeatedly shaming america by shining a spotlight on illegality it's an overseas military operations and some

embarrassing tactics and opinions from the state department washington says publishing the documents has created a national security risk the justice department has reportedly mounted in an unprecedented investigation into wiki leaks aimed at prosecuting a songe under the espionage act we're going to continue to go after. but we're tough and we're not going to let anybody. in or whether it's an australian national and some say they'll go to any lengths. to make the point u.s. government within the federal criminal arena likes to charge others who were either aided and abetted and assisted or were full blown coconspirators likes to go after those in an effort to flip them. to get them to cooperate with the u.s. government against the major players in this case. sources tell r.t.

that the u.s. is now working on flipping none other then private bradley manning the u.s. soldier is facing twenty two federal charges for allegedly leaking seven hundred thousand documents and video to wiki leaks he's one of six americans obama's administration has charged with espionage if one of those cases makes it to the supreme court and the supreme court upholds the espionage act as an act which essentially criminalize and any whistleblower anybody who exposes war crimes anybody who calenders the official narrative of the lies of the state. then that's it because that would mean that any leaker can automatically be sent to prison for life and at that point any idea of freedom of information is over we will only know what the state wants us to know it's supposed to be. protecting the national security of the united states but that is not the journalism industry will

and you are where you will be as being something that is a message to him be careful who you talk to be careful whom you write what you write because you could be and i think the number of reporters are going to say i'm not risking critics say the obama administration's unprecedented war on whistleblowers could ultimately deliver i death sentence to freedom of the press if people or publisher could be criminally convicted and jailed for exposing the truth more and more journalists may prefer to abandon first amendment privileges and reserve the right to remain silent. artsy. but through their silence and other whistleblowers could become a powerful tool for genuine democracy that's according to social sciences expert professor my son and i don't know the full interview i think he's coming up next hour but here's a preview. of the spin or surest made by weakening. aimed to. reveal
