these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to hope for a show to rule the day. you're watching live from moscow our top stories damascus has a price tag on the safety of the u.n. observer mission to syria the first monitors get down to business to oversee a fragile cease fire. eighteen hours of fighting in kabul security forces regained control after the taliban's massive coordinated assault on the parliament's western embassies and nato headquarters. bellerose releases two high profile political prisoners following pressure from the u.s. and the e.u.

are meant to ease up on the opposition. now the way it's nearly over until one of the most anticipated shows of the year premiers here on our t.v. the world's chief whistleblower julian assange is currently under house arrest in the u.k. will come face to face those making the have lines but first our correspondent laura smith quizzes the song's about the details of his new program. why did you decide to do your own show become a t.v. host. two reasons first of all being under house arrest for some of the it's nice to have an occasional visitor. to learn more about the world and the conversations we were having a quite interesting one of them from other people growing up that's one reason the second reason is that as someone who's given a lot of interviews before and it's been on the receiving end of

a very great if you didn't start i found that i wasn't given much more of an example. pretty quickly to just keep some sort of standard for instance for instance are people going to take them serious products and i want to have a different sort of corporate with people and why that approach has been difficult in some ways i think it was also succeeded in that very very sides or very interesting and important thing for good and not normal going to people because they're not dealing with the story and i think you mean with somebody who's under house arrest. one point three political problems and it's another but it's one i how did you find it moving sort of from one side of the desk to the other becoming the interviewer was a lot harder than i thought it was. in the beginning very hard to part with what i would likely think that i think that the constraints of the medium and the

constraints of parliament think of the strengths of cameras and constraints of people crowded into that space but if you're close it really does funnel. incident types of conversations like can occur for correction so you'll see for example when we do a satellite anybody got thirty forty five minutes actually the interaction and sort of the translation for action is much. similar to a conversion from what. we have the sort of luxury of over three hours and have people who know you. personally and it's much more to sort of conversation. so i have more sympathy. for understanding that the constraints of the medium are one of the positions for that's not the only pernicious but there's also the constraints of the will provide a search and behind the media so how did you get to know you are to and why did you choose. political cost in your first program we have seen are these reported on the

attacks on wiki leaks for a number of years and that report has been quite supportive when we were looking what international broadcaster which department as opposed to the proposals we look to see what was the penetration into the states. had higher penetration in the united states go to zero for a piece of news that really thinks that the b.b.c. has been actively hostile but it's not so we didn't consider the. problem he aims to provide this kind of alternative. by the international mainstream channels is your choice of r.t.s. the platform for your interview show your kind of response to mainstream media. it is the reason for the response seemingly through a lot of the things that we have been trying to report have not been carried

accurately in the mainstream press there are many many fine exceptions but when we look at international but it works there's really only little speaking about iraq you know if there. are some but. it's far as we are concerned. considering their own direction we're going to know that if we had been producing the minister material about russia perhaps in some ways from different britain because that we are in at the moment where our major confrontation with the west although we have published material from many countries around the proxy is that. can you spell material for the saying that there are things that were put out opinions have greater protection from this and this is going to be no one star to you but have you received offers for all the channels anyone else approached you with patches of france yes we received of those from the fed on some of your satellites and saying preferred to cooperate in africa or customs are to me about

internet for a certain sense of seeing or you know if you're seeing something for us and you've worked closely with what we call the mainstream media in the past what did that teach you about that. any organization once who grows to a sufficient sarkozy and has sufficient influence starts having to make political compromises and media organizations by the very nature of engaging the political sphere so the editors and publishers of the united nations have to sit down and table with technical points and they start becoming for groups and so we have. working with them when we're trying to get out now material for an organization something such as the guardian of the new york times or even city these organizations so since they are tremendously frequent up on them and in a way which is against their stated sort of things they are about it's going to spread it is in some cases even against the conference and we have right in front

of those nations and you mentioned several specific locations in channels that what response do you expect from the international mass media some of whom you've already gotten out where it's right do you expect a level of criticism and i say why of course i mean those organizations like the new york times already have used to work with but it's the point of what they were doing back in two thousand and ten although we do work with you know. in your terms of individual drills and other institutions are going to have problems with. assuming that you know very well they were packed i mean there's likely to be anything from pity competing remember we're going to search the reason the big story they always write a good story what sort of form do you expect that criticism to take somebody who's sort of obvious from. his do or say on a daily combatant a traitor of getting into bed with him for a criminal or an. interview or even. a terrible radical for

a little bit i think that's a sort of it's a pretty trivial car and protect our car. if they actually look at health insurance made. we have complete going to have control of we believe that all media organizations have and i think all media organizations have an ancient art. of beliefs or brush somebody who can see things from the russian agenda. is a voice of the british government for its american interests of american government and it is the clashing of all these voices together that reveal secrets about the world as a whole our we should make the most of it is that we are in a real confrontation. and a part of the for the united states as a result of a recent publication which can sort of the united states it's very natural for in order for us to speak about the right we see in the world interesting if we can see

in the polls we need to part of every organisation so actually capable of speaking to him unfortunately the majority of the networks and united states and they are not capable of effectively create criticizing the us military power of america for the paper where you restrained by editorial policies while you are making a great grab fourteen no not at all we make the program has made an independent cooperative production company for the internet for consumption of some sort of tea so you. know the state has any kind of political can for the good of excellence and i started i was capable of taking sides. and have you found you found that to be true. absolutely. that there has been a difference. when you were choosing the guests what were your criteria. through the single biggest criterion something i would come up with. that's quite

that's quite interesting because there's a number of guests that we couldn't get and so that's talking about that sort of censorship so we're still trying to how we use currently in prison to help sort of things right he views anything political situation and makes it extremely difficult for him to speak to me about it or. quote of course. you know prison in russia. was a was a remailer got he's being imprisoned sort of would like to speak to him he's in prison. they did we look at some of the us and so i sort of people the. tops of power of some of the dry goods corporations we have. in direct personal contact. so some of them say no it's too dangerous for the u.s. government is concerned yes i would hope that we can get some worked for them but politically it's just too dangerous so. then we go to the other groups that we

have to and we did actually get one. so those are. people who normally don't get reported can you think guess that you have got do you think a pair on a mainstream t.v. network some could some couldn't and some have. quite a few haven't found what is faded saying is that the majority of what they have said to me not say or the mainstream to make it work that is not this because of self-censorship of the networks it's because my style of interaction as someone who has been eaten by the media really in terms. i understand the thoughts . in that format and so i wanted something to. put some good tips in a situation something so a way of. pulling out a story about this situation comedy or despair if we want to sort of think that

we're going to meet you it's not for me it's not about friends in dealing with me play understand that they're not to be able to host they're pursuing a reporter they're dealing with someone who's been through a very trying dangerous and difficult for medical situation so they can speak to a degree. includes that understanding that on display for example most of the guests that i need to have been in prison at some stage so i think it's an immediate leaders and sort of report the president is not present in regularly where do you invite anyone from russia's political opposition to be on your program and say you think like me because we've invited a number of people from russia's political opposition to the russian election cycle in different parts of the screen from the real theater to where invited nearly all the prominent. and we're going by the people from the russian government as well but it's. going to use any new wiki leaks de sac for these projects we have

actually used some of the questions from the. but if it is not in general. we're not using this sort of thing if we can it's not a case of this. the information that you have is quite interesting i'm not any of your guests directly linked to wiki leaks and mention this. new we all think it's partly down. to what extent did the restricting of your freedom of movement kind of interfere in the making of the programs well the restriction my fader mutant is what caused the programs. you know now i mean over four hundred and sixty days pain without charge and i was used to going around the world from place the place where the greatest political dynamics were where we could be request assistance. and so it's quite isolating. to be

a great instructor out in the countryside for those conditions so this was a way or. bringing people to me so we could understand what was actually happening in the world because we need to understand the problem right which is what is actually happened to us so much thank you very much. if you. really take three. four three. three. three. two three. three blown through a lot of video for your media project free media john darche john tom.

for a russian friends because they are doing a very good job and they are respecting the letter. and follow boxing and probably the most famous voice in the sports i'm talking about the man who is know throughout the entire world for his catchphrase let's get ready to rumble that's not a buffet has been speaking exclusively to r.t. . it's a great evolution and it's. it's a taken a sport that. you know that a lot of eastern europeans and many russians dominated in the olympics for the last quarter century and now really at the fruits of all the labor of the people training any other man boxing training she says now it's all coming to the earth and like you see this evolved in the straits as seen here only for the potential to

have i think a lot of the world champions from the earth running the arenas in our first class of arenas said it was great it was here you have the world championships later this and now the real chicken shit events televised around the thousands of people go to see everything now recognise the fighters and it's it's a really great environment for the last. season has started it because there was a period where and it still exists that the ring announcer has to be introduced all the officials have to be for the fighter the security and still you've had a moment with the fighters on the ring with music and lights them it's very exciting and then. the ring announcer and the speech. he

kills the atmosphere that electricity that he created by the fighters making their entrance to the ring so i wanted something that would ignite the crowd that bring them back to playing with things and now you're going to meet the stars of the show you know i tried man your battle stations and it fasten your seat belts if it were a great mile but i'll get used to say that he was ready to run for it and so i fine tuning that to what you hear today that's a good. you know i never got a chance to introduce mohamed ali as a ring announcer as a fighter in the thirty years of charity events that i got to know and friends but . one of my all time favorite stories will be mohammad ali who threw. a fighter when i was a boy at the end of his career with a great sugar ray robinson probably the greatest fighter will find is a big fan it is and they believe the iraqi health mayweather. got to give credit

to put shows down a name to having waited patiently for such a profit i did many of his fights in germany you know as he was promoted by selling promotion but now he's going to be a heavyweight champion so he's a favorite of mine sometimes it's emotional sometimes i'm introducing him to fight it is that i've known that i know their families and i love them both then they have to fight each other and and so you're happy for the winner and you're brokenhearted for the loser all the same night. well ok that's all from me for today more sports news from around the globe for you into us time have not say with my colleague paul scholes that the. culture is that so much about the taxpayers' money minting is a chic become people like gary and many people are turning to facebook's timeline

to share all kinds of experiences and moments others are concerned about the security and safety of this new.
