against the elements where really culture is the only transport for medics to reach those in need. where rain and fish are treasures for the. welcome to the. area. this is our top story the first u.n. observer team arrives in syria to oversee the troubled truce there but damascus says it must coordinate monitors movements to keep them safe the opposition claims it's still under attack meantime of the government vows to crack down on what he calls terrorists. the man who bombed and shot seventy seven innocent people says he did it in self-defense and was protecting the country from being overrun by muslims

the first day of norwegian mass murder trial has wrapped up and also a. pole position for russian all john ross neff there's a teams up with america's exxon mobile to top the treasures of the arctic sea it also gives access to exxon's projects in north america and it's no one developing parts recovered. so the next wiki leaks founder julian talks to us ahead of his new shows deb you here in the next twenty four hours explains why he chose r t and who is guess. why did you decide to do your own shadow. well there's two reasons first of all being on the house arrest for sort of long it's nice to have an occasional visit from friends or to learn more about the world and given the conversations we've been having a great interesting number of people got to go that's one reason the second reason

is that as someone who's given a lot of maintenance before and it's been on the receiving end of a very great scene if i didn't start this i found that i wasn't getting much writing. pretty quickly and wouldn't interest keeps you know sort of separate spots so people that i would take them sit it out of context and i wanted to have a different sort of corporate sort of people and why that approach has been difficult and sometimes i think it's also succeeded in other ways i mean that we do you inside it's very interesting important thing that i'm going to not normally do because they're not dealing with the interview they're dealing with someone who is under house arrest who has gone through political problems so they can see what it's worth. and how you did you find it really going sort of from one side of the desk to the other becoming the interviewer for the lot harder than i thought it was

. so in the beginning very hard part of it i would likely things like him credit for the constraints of immediately thinking strength of time constraints of cameras constraints of people crowded in a very intimate space and then to europe because it really does. sort of types of conversations that can kind of put it from a direction so you will see for example when we do a satellite and you have only got thirty forty five minutes actually you need to record and starting from translation the interaction is much more similar so you can bring it forward where we have a sort of luxury of a reality going to people who know. personally the news much more sort of conversation. so i have more sympathy with these people who are interviewing you for understanding that the constraints of the medium are one of the initial scripts but they're not the only financial sector there's also the constraints of the

organization behind the media so how did you get to know r.t. and why did you choose your political cost in your first program where i've seen art he's reporting on the attacks on wiki leaks for a number of years and not reportage has generally been quite supportive when we were looking at what international protocols that are with a partner as opposed to for a customs look to see what was the penetration into united states and. had higher penetration in the united states militancy or b.b.c. it is the leading contestant but the b.b.c. has been acting the host probably never thought so we didn't consider being part of the problem of proxy aims to provide this kind of alternative ad by the international mainstream charles is your choice of r.t.s. the platform for your interview show your kind of response to the mainstream media . well it is or is her response seems that

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 books it is really only me that was speaking about it up to you know at the center of the you know the international networks because far as we can sort of. considering there are national interest to know if we had been producing of material about russia perhaps that situation different that indicates that we are already at the moment where our major confrontation with the west that we have published i'm sure for many conferences. is a natural part. to produce a pivotal roles in the same boat as zero but i think it's had greater penetration and that's what this is going to be want to talk to you but how do you receive all the channels as anyone else approached you with patches some things yes we did see

over the cinema ten or some we saw of licensing of the show to put it out for customs martini's about the internet for the constant sense that seeing all of the three things into our friends you worked closely with what we called the mainstream media in the past what did back teach you about that. any organization once and grows to a sufficient start is going to have sufficient influence starts having to write political compromise and media organizations by the very very caring cage in the political sphere so the editors and publishers of mineral density times have to sit down at the table with powerful groups and they start becoming kind of the principle groups and so we have but i'm working with them when we're trying to get out now material for an organization and site such as the guardian of the you know top of the b.b.c. these organizations so since that are you know tremendously infrequently. and in

a way which is against a state that it's not just going to help out it's going to start and in some cases even if it's a contract that we have gotten from some conversations and you mention several specific publications and channels that what response do you expect from the international mass media some of whom you've already thought about which is why do you expect a level of criticism and i say a lot of course i mean if those organizations like the new york times that we have used to work with based upon what they were doing back in two thousand and twelve that we do we're going to be jealous of those new york times and individual drills and other institutions that we're in our problems with. assuming that. they were tracked i mean there's likely. a need for pay t.v. you know but if they should receive the big story they always write a good story what sort of form do you expect that course is going to take some of the sort of obvious one. is doing this on a daily combatant

a traitor getting into bed with the kremlin i don't know and interviewing. terrible radicals sort of. i think that's a sort of it's a pretty trivial kind of attack i'm sorry but if they actually look at how the show restraint we make a. we have complete going to have control of what we believe that all be your organizations have been called media organizations have an issue. of voice or brush so we use books and things from a russian to. see if the voice of the current government wants of americans and words of american government and it is that they clashing all these voices together and it reveals the truth about the world as a whole now we see with the moment is that we are in real confrontation we've got a problem the first in the united states as a result of our recent publication which can sort of the united states it's very

natural for in order for us to speak about the way we see that world of interesting things in the world we need part of every organizations that are actually capable of speaking unfortunately the majority of the people it works and the united states and they are not capable of effectively criticizing and you know it's going to power we're going to be from the from a trip or more you restrained by ditto policies while you are making that program fourteen no not at all we make the program has made an independent british production company if we need to africa sort of through some sort of so you know stage has made it affordable can for pixar designers that it was capable of excellence but i think i have you found you found that to be true. absolutely that there has been going to favorites and if when you were choosing the guests what were your criteria. both of the single biggest criteria and something we come up

short. that's quite that's quite interesting because there are a number of guests that we couldn't get them so let's talk about that sort of censorship so. he's currently in prison on the house arrest and sort of even using the political situation makes it extremely difficult for him to speak to the media. carport of course. you know prison in russia. was a was a billion a day over god and he's been in prison so he would be right to speak to him because he's in prison. if we look at some of the u.s. and its allies so people who didn't power some joy when it's corporations if we have. direct personal political. so some of them say you know it's too dangerous for the u.s. government is concerned yes i would hope that would help you know sort of like some

sort of but politically it's just too dangerous. then we go to the other groups that we have to and we did actually get rid of them and so those are. people who normally don't have a voice could guess that you have got do you think a pair on a mainstream t.v. network some good some couldn't and some have. quite a few haven't found what is faith and say is that the majority of what they have said to me they could not say on a mainstream t.v. network for them that is not this because of sort of censorship of the networks it's because my style of interaction as someone who has a need to be part of the media really mean climes. i understand the faults. in that format so i wanted something to. play sort of the depth of the situations that they had so a way of. pulling out their story about their situation when they are introspective

enough to something going to convene a summit meeting it's over. in dealing with me they understand a thing or two feeling one hundred going to dealing with a reporter dealing with someone who's been very trying dangerous and difficult for the whole situation so they can speak to the greek as equals because they understand that on the surface for example. most of the guests that i interviewed have been in prison at some stage of being in prison so immediately there's a sort of report that at least present there is not present and regularly where do you invite anyone from russia's political opposition to be on your program to say do you think. we've invited a number of people from russia's political opposition for the russian election cycle interfered with that because of the scandal in the paper but open for real simple to know that we have invited you in all the problems. and we provided people

for government as well for them but you going to use any new stacy for this project . we have actually used it for some requests from different. but if it is not in general. it's not using some sort of publicity and we could start with her occasional kiss. the information you have is quite interesting i know any of your guests directly linked to what he said. this. week this party you know information. to what extent think they're restricting of your freedom of movement could interfere with the making of the program well the restriction my freedom of movement is what caused the programs. and now i mean over four hundred sixty days the pain of their charge and was used to go around the world and place the place where the greatest clique with whatever eggs were where

we could get most assistance. and so it's quite isolated. from stuck around in the countryside under those conditions so this was a way of. bringing people to me so we understand what was actually happening because we need to understand a lot of what we've actually had to have so much thank you very much. you vote for bush look for bush push always stands by one vote for kerry. so the people that are going to be validating this machine can stand there all day long and vote for somebody and it will be right every time but the guy can walk up

here and if he hits the right buttons. you can for both. bring you up to date with tonight's headlines from r t the first you and observer team arrives in syria to see the troubled troops there but the massacre says it all tonight monitors movements to keep them safe position claims it's still under attack and the government vows to crack down on what he calls terror. the man who bombed and shot seventy seven innocent people says he did it in self-defense from is protecting the country from being overrun by muslims the first day of norwegian mass murderer anders breivik trial because wrapped up in all of. its pole position for russian all joined russ neff there's a teams up with america's most build attack trenches of the arctic sea it also gives ross north access to excellent projects in north america and it's no longer

but a hard to recover. twenty forty five moscow time glasgow world sport with paul. thank you very much kevin welcome to the world of sports hey here's what we've got coming up the race for second spot moscow moving to the champions league places in the russian for emily while the rest of trail krasnodar in their relegation gridlock. will change at the top rory mcilroy replaces luke gold as world number one possibly englishman finishes fourteen shots behind win occultism in south carolina. and top dog one monaco beats american john is no two in the clay court championship in houston despite the defeat is now becomes between us number one. but let's start with football and in the russian premier league spot at moscow and now in pole

a home of two relegation group leaders actually class it all with a trial of one nil in the final few moments. meanwhile in england there's one game in the top flight. monday's arsenal and sitting will get a win for the visitors would move them a full five points clear of the drop so i'm probably gonna is consuming third place with a victory being i could return for us and then his men after recovering from an ankle problem with instructor i think i would be a guy is having a life and this test. now it may be more than six years away her preparations for the two thousand and eighteen football world cup here in russia are in full swing for inspectors have been in the country to see for themselves how plans are coming along they've already visited krasnodar and rostov on don as events ago school reports. the first world cup ever to be held in russia is drawing ever near eleven of the thirteen competing cities will be on the final shortlist of hosts to be revealed the scummy september people are now having a look at each city's plans to find out just how they'll go about creating the best

the denver nuggets defeated the houston rockets one hundred nine eighty six on home court with both sides targeting the upcoming playoffs houston won the first quarter by five points twenty seven twenty three. the buzzer from behind the arc later the rockets adding single quotes of their late making it forty nine forty three a half so i'm great with the third period saw the host come back strongly aaron afflalo inspired an impressive run for denver finishing the lights as joint top school with twenty points lawson who matched these produced a pick contribution to history and drive all eventual fifteen point victory for the nuggets moves them closer to six price dallas in the western conference. the more has been hosting the general assembly of national olympic committees for the very first time and by annual meeting has been held in the russian capital with the twenty fourteen sochi winter games rapidly approaching and president of the international olympic committee jacques rogge says preparations are coming along

increasing expected usage for forty five new trains new passes and even a temporary new terminal heathrow airport will ease pressure and officials say despite the huge amount of investment spent on upgrading the transport network there will be times when it simply can't cope. there's no getting away from the fact that london movie incredibly busy during the games and in some locations at certain times of day it will be more demand for the public transport network than we're going to be able to cope with but by planning ahead and making sure that londoners who are going about their daily business going to work travelling about change their travel behavior we're really confident that we'll cope during the summer and very quickly just before i go an update from the lives only russian premier league stuff equalized in the last minute and krassner are one one how about finished in the relegation group to me three with a late goal for the hosts well these are all the sport and i'll be back in a little of the queue outside of that.
