redefining the boundaries of journalism of extraordinary. strikes back with a new show promising to shine a light on the right one touched by the mass media. the syrian opposition shows its multiple places as anti regime rallies see renewed vigor gunfire not necessarily pending. change. waterboarding stress positions in the nation a secret memo shows the u.s. was using crude television techniques and crimes. in business. struggling.

national news and comment twenty four hours a day this is r.t. the world's most controversial and polarizing whistleblower to date is premiering his very own show here on the today programme called the world tomorrow with. it's just a few hours away from going hard liberals to counter those little strong words and songs that promises to push the limits for you giving voice to views and ideas sung by the mass media. reparations shook even the world's superpowers told us just what prompted him to start his own program. the wait is almost about wiki leaks founder julian stone his exclusive new show is

to be broadcast here on our t.v. today she was day i can tell you the first guest is you just have to choose to point out what i can tell you is that they are all opinion all through this twelve to say series but there are some distance and there are some who have very rarely been interviewed to network television and the first guest is particularly controversial and according to you know when i speak to him charismatic now i went to talk to. a head of the broadcast of the program at the secret location where he filmed the show we told all about the show how he chose the guests of course he spent a lot of time in. the interview with death he talks about his disenchantment with mainstream media and why he chose in our team to broadcast the show and also why he feels that he's in a unique position to make an interview. let's hear what he had to say.

the majority of. my work. is not just because of some. of the networks it's because my style would be someone who was part of the media. and so i want to add something to. the. situation. why you're. pulling out. in dealing with me. i understand. doing with someone who's been trying something. so i can speak

greek. this is a we could anniversaries. personal and professional guide hundred days weeks since the investigation into the allegations of sexual assault since we didn't began and he has been under house arrest virtually for looked at that time and yet still new charges have been laid against him formally we did see the case in the future recall to finish on the second in february already so it's nearly ten weeks in fact case finished and still no date has been handed down by the sea green court it's also five hundred days this week since the wiki leaks bank accounts were praised and and that's of course made it very difficult for them to raise any funding and really the whole future of the wiki leaks operation under threat this is why this is so unique it was conceived. during this incredibly difficult time in

his life when he was under house arrest as he still is having to report to the police station every day he told me that he's somebody who's always traveled you know he's always met a lot of people and then he found himself in a position where he couldn't get to people so he wanted to find a way of making people come to him and that's how they shaped. the research in my freezer or course the. now our four hundred sixty. charge. was used to going around the world but it's the place where. the greatest political. so it's quite. hard under those conditions. for. bringing people to me so. it was actually. well the whole of that interview is coming your way next out shortly around to eleven thirty g.m.t.

today will be airing the first episode of the world or with two in the science. hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact of. the source material is what helps the journalism we. we want to present. something of. the u.n. human rights and what he has admitted that violence is dwindling in syria after a cease fire came into force last week however it says that violations are still shaking the fragile truce hostilities give way to mass rallies their fears are some activists legitimate cause for freedom and democracy are being discredited by the armed militia may find that some of the images knocks out of what is reported

disturbing but this is the media face of the syrian revolution and shaven man with kalashnikovs appealing to the international community to still be killing our children by the blood thirsty as the army. of. a few weeks later this same man this time posing as soldiers are going around homs knocking on the doors of innocent people. later we see them again already dad shown on you tube as civilians were savagely killed by troops yet still western policymakers insist on calling these people freedom fighters rather than charities united states of america. so far. and the definition for some united states of america. for if you don't. who are fighting really for freedom and through of united states

. this is the case and if you and your talk about syria. we have. no there and it's an organization of course this is also the syrian opposition but their faces goals and ways of achieving them are strikingly different these kurdish breman are against the entrenched discrimination of their ethnic group others in the crowd call for free elections and stopping arbitrary detentions still the main slogan they're rallying under is for peaceful change. we think that bashar al assad has stepped down but we are totally convinced it can be achieved through nonviolent means the only way for this democratic revolution to proceed is peacefully all sides have to stop the violence small rallies like these are almost their weekly occurrence in damascus but based time even syrian state

t.v. came to film my arms rebels grab their attention to see the opposition have many faces and there's a growing concern here that by supporting the radicals the last may be hurting because of the more moderate forces that the gunfire has essentially drowned out more legitimate calls for democratic change the organizers of this rally received a permit from their thirties it didn't last long an hour into the protest a group of us thought supporters appeared from nowhere sending demonstrators running on this occasion nobody was hurt. democracy is about the rule of the majority and the majority of the people support bashar al assad these people may be curious but they're not there from from go secure and guns. forest that supporters there is indeed little difference between peaceful protesters and the rebels and it looks like there west is making the same mistake by betting on the armed opposition

international paris make activists like this guilty of association with the clan charging militia on. bio. doings he gets much much worse on a lot of other folks will start to come in as i assume all the girls is just not promote democracy but quietly officer will promote chaos even in the long run. syria has long prided itself on tolerance but when it comes to politics the gloves come off very quickly not only a syrian city have to agree to disagree but more importantly they have to learn how to do it in a nonviolent way and work our art see them as syria. well advanced team of u.n. monitors has started its mission to stabilize the troops us professor of middle east studies just you alone this is the operation provide the world community with more time to this side of the next diplomatic steps in syria. it's not clear what

they can do they will report back to the u.n. security council and the opposition has been calling for a timeline they want this to be referred back to the un almost immediately they say they're claiming that it's not working and it's falling apart but i think the international community doesn't know what to do next and they're likely to give this more time and hope that they can if they can begin to bring some calm to syria there were reports that position number of free syrian army people have talked if they're going to try to use this to rearm get guns in and antitank missiles some of them are saying from iraq and really whether that to sides can be brought to the figo shooting table that's going to be the important thing is if there is any will from either side to negotiate an outcome of this rather than hope for a win. but still ahead you make this crying tears of anything but remorse it was grave it behind the deaths of seventy seven people now some as

a massacre way some emotion to move on from the extremist ideas. on the web use this kickoff a week of protests to stop new celibacy or something to debate in the u.s. congress. they say. waterboarding in stress positions to the torture techniques used by the u.s. against terror suspects a secret memo has been leaked which brands them with crimes and shows the bush administration has warned against thinking it's insulting it's important explains if it will present a well or isn't doing enough to make up for america's past mistakes. america's so-called war on terror produced images and accounts that ignited a world of questions about twitter and the u.s. treatment of suspects american people need to know where using techniques within

the law. two years after george w. bush left the white house. the former commander in chief admitted his stamp of approval for the use of interrogation techniques like waterboarding dubbed inhumane and illegal under u.s. law and the geneva conventions well as waterboarding legal in your opinion as a lawyer said it was legal so it develops all within the that courtroom. and let's go first to judgment of people where you would have the bush administration also chose to disregard the judgment of a top adviser who warns that the cia's interrogation of terror suspects people waited to felony war crimes according to a secret memo obtained by wired magazine in two thousand and six state department councilor philip zelikow warned the white house that controversial interrogation techniques such as water boarding stress positions and cramped confinement are prohibited under u.s.

law and under american law there is no precedent for excusing treatment that is intrinsically cruel even if the state asserts compelling need to use it i think there needs to be an accounting in the united states of what was going on over the last ten years and name of america there is a question of the second. united states actually executing japanese soldiers who. used torture. against american prisons they took action against the japanese the u.s. . as opposing want to talk to other countries so there is a clear legal case to say that you know action must be taken we're still evaluating two weeks before taking office u.s. president barack obama steered cool. year of saving america's historic commitments to international justice. past reckless. and i don't believe that anybody is for the war on the other hand i also have a belief that we need to go forward as

a world as opposed to what looking back last june obama's us justice department dropped in ninety nine out of one hundred in one cases against cia interrogators over the use of torture i'm afraid according ministration wants to keep those options open and you don't want to label these techniques just as crimes or torture because that would prohibit them from using them by weaving the real definition however it's like we really believe in so few options replied mr yates once again and that is what is frightening here scholars attorneys and human rights experts around the world have called for the prosecution of senior bush administration officials who designed in order torture tactics however critics say the unspoken agreement within countries proclaiming to pioneer democracy is to never turn on your own it probably is that the west we you know we make great we used to promote our great democracies but there is a kind of entry into the elite party that they will not press charges and they will

not take legal action against crimes of all previous administrations through the use of torture british and secret prisons america's moral position around the world has undoubtedly shifted and while the u.s. will likely continue barking the beacons of freedom and democracy critics say the more important question to ask is who is even listening anymore for an i.r.c. . the head of november's us elections are special reports of the accuracy of the country's voting system that's coming your way at gnc. they vote for bush. but. always 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 he can flip the vote very easily.

and also no courtroom under god has opened its doors for the second day with a norwegian mass killer on this brave expected to deliver a prepared statement experts say to help resolve the lingering member of the grave it would be declared insane criminally responsible being a one of the trial of the thirty three year old of seem smiling in a ferocious salute and shedding tears at his own and he is going propaganda video for a better candidate seventy seven people in last summer's come calling in oslo and a shooting spree at a youth camp outside the capital however he's pleaded not guilty saying the attacks were an act of self-defense to protect norway from islam and no blanket coverage of the trial could turn it into a showcase for his extremist ideas consume and share only urine he can afford.

that is the way you want me justice system works in it in the european union in norway he he will clearly i was opportunities to express his own views one just hopes that the overwhelming majority of people who reject him for what they are signs of if you want a man who who is deluded and a racist those on a focus is something that we've seen across the european union. in germany and in france in the united kingdom as well as in norway he's just he was particularly successful but i think he's a he's one of. many maybe too strong body he's certainly not unique in a name is whatsoever unleashed groups are actually working together to promote these kind of lone wolves to endure any sense follow the same pattern as the some of the muslim fundamentalists do. well you can find the latest updates on this disturbing story or track it back to its very beginning when our website r.t. got com there's also plenty more there to catch your eye here's

a taste of british born suspended from the labor party after eventually setting up ten million pounds heads of the barbara bush. to pass the russian culture vultures become great them selves as a family tricks no need ought not to spin the truth on facebook. angry internet users are protesting against a new web security pay or pending in the u.s. congress they fear this cyber intelligence sharing and protection act or suspect will make prophecy a thing of the past what comes after the stop online piracy act was recently halted after wave of outrage and web freedom activist trevor tim hopes new makers will

learn from past experience. before when we were trying to stop sopa congress wouldn't return the calls of the civil liberties community that would return the calls of the tech community they were just trying to shove it through congress without any debate whatsoever once they saw the power of the internet and how internet users can organize and really make a difference in the legislative procedure i think they understood that you know they have to be more understanding now what we're seeing with cisco is that the authors of the bill are trying to disassociate themselves with soap but they actually took out the intellectual property clause last week which is a good sign unfortunately they didn't go nearly as far enough and were running a weeklong protest this week actually trying to convince congressman to vote no on this bill until they take out these privacy destroying provisions and hopefully make it a bill which can in effect cybersecurity positively but not encroach on the privacy rights of americans. when i look at some other stories making international

headlines around the world the south australia's prime minister says the country will withdraw its troops from afghanistan even thirteen million planned. airliners moved because afghans are ready to take responsibility. but plans will be discussed at the nato summit next not australia has around three hundred troops stationed in the country and it's lost its own soldiers in the conflict. a un report says at least seven people have been killed in clashes on the border of sudan and south sudan it comes just days after cyclone raids on a discreet border town of the it was seen south fighting between the two countries has escalated since science and dependence last dropping. the world bank has tracing us back to you know we only came position right treating the aids this new president while some experts really growth in countries will benefit

from the choice could not be going to politicize a decision we're seeing in washington dominating winchell credential post it is kim's lack of experience in the field. less than ten minutes from now i'll tease kaiser reports takes a look at how i treat decisions in the far east for the global economy. here's a story a mount fuji beauty spot where one hundred bodies are found every year from people committing suicide they think that by ruling their currency by self inflicting wounds into their own currency. who. somehow this is a noble more very policy but result there's a strongly it's hard lobel economy under the bus somebody needs to stage an intervention and these japanese policymakers they are suicidal hold looks.

to dive into the business world and i will say katie and some small yet quite right now we're finally got it all take part they're all about it find it to with america's x. on my bill to join and develop an engine richfield in the cars in return for access to the russian reserves x. on my bill will open the u.s. domestic oil and gas fields to russian investment for the first time now for more i'm joined by chris hill the farm boy. now we're talking about the weak point of billion dollars to begin with what could this say. look this is a very important dealer i think both for the for the russian company rosneft and for exxon mobil. it's the arctic's area it's regarded as having significant potential for future hydrocarbon reserves of production and

a lot of people believe it's like a major reserve on the planet where we can find significant you volumes of oil and gas so developing this region this place is very important for russia and it all. there's a significant long term opportunity for both companies involved. right until recently offered tax breaks to companies investing in the arctic how touchy that was the offer goes and not. well i think it's still you know broken progress to be honest i mean this is you know obviously about a brand new area we know it's going to have considerable technical difficulties engineering difficulties involved which is why russia brought in a company as experienced as exxon mobil into the deal specifically to bring in their expertise and their know how so i think you start off with this project which you know best guesstimate of what it may cost what will be involved but i think as the project develops and as the companies involved gain more experience and run

into more problems then we only then will be be able to get a better idea of what the you know the investment implications for the project long term are and that's when i think we'll start to see changes on things like tax breaks and other state assistance so you know i pace point in time we're very early in the process and i think that's you know a lot of the assumptions that are named that are being made about this project will certainly change over time and kind of talk about the oil itself but as some of the projects involving strachan of unconventional oil why does austin need to do this as it's not such laws that snow was also. good because unconventional oil and gas is specific to share lloyd's shale gas. is drawing by a very significant amount and if the current forecasts are proved correct then share low is shale gas will be a significant part of global energy production and consumption over the next ten

years now a lot of bad oil and gas is source now to the us right now and it will offer significant competition for traditional producers such as russia and old mike if the current forecasts are proved correct so it's important therefore to for russia to get involved in i suppose you could say that new source of energy to be part of it rather than face competition and lose market share so in that sense is a good deal for a russian company. to get into this new you area of energy to get experience in it and then maybe for russia to take a bigger part to supply or later ok let's talk about another bill that we were following also by the ross there from the. got the role that you think there's anything that could go wrong with this still when thinking about. well at this point in time it looks like a fairly solid deal it's now will be agreed and signed off. and at least the first phase the exploration phase now look secure i mean i think again as i mentioned

earlier as we get into this project and as we start to get a better understanding or to companies get a better understanding of what's involved technically and cost wise then there may be room for further negotiation or potentially you know some disagreement at that point but that's down the road at least for the first phase desperation phase this deal is now done and it's now going to move ahead on that agreed basis so i think in that sense we are past the point where we could end up with a similar rusnak b.p. situation to think that that's that's not at all likely i take chris thank you very much indeed for your time the other end. of that chris we've started with a choice thank you very much indeed for your time today i'm not going to business and i'll be back in about fifty minutes until you market i have a yard of course. ok to hear more from you later. stay tuned for the latest at kaiser reports from back at the top stories stay with us.
