they refer to you live from moscow words four thirty pm to have binds a syrian rebel fraction admits coffee on his piece of pie is the last chance to end the year long violence in russia warns there are still forces interested in the failure of the cease fire. america's torture techniques during the bush era are equal to war crimes according to a secret state department memo that's been leaked president obama is accused of turning a blind eye. to the world's most famous whistleblower talk show on r t julian up on sirius talk to some of the most controversial global figures who the mainstream

i'll tune in for more. than you can see the debut show in an hour's time here on archie but before it aired argues maurice smith talked to the wiki leaks founder about what drove him to launch his program on r t. why did you decide to do your own show i would become a t.v. host well there's two reasons. first of all being under house arrest for sort of it's nice to have an occasional visitor and to learn more about the world and given the conversations we were having a quite interesting one up there with i'm sure a lot of people are going up that's one reason the second reason is that as someone who's given them what it meant for and if they don't have the cd and or very aggressive internet styles i found that i wasn't giving much away in these

interviews and all that pretty quickly weren't just keeps you know sort of standard bits of principles and so people could take a considerable context and i wanted to have a different sort of approach with people and why that approach has been difficult for some reason i think it's also succeeded in other ways and in that way every field science or very interesting important people that are not normal you know people because they're not dealing with the story of an individual they dealing with someone who's under house arrest. has gone through political problems that they consider. i how even did you find it moving sort of from one side of the desk to the other becoming the interviewer for the lot harder than i thought it was. so he would be getting very hot as time went by like everything else that i can read it for you know the constraints of the medium the constraints of time constraints of terms of constraints of people crowded into an intimate space and if you're

a person really does funnel. incident and parts of conversations that can kind of clear it from for direction so you'll see for example women to a satellite anything that really got to me forty five minutes actually the interaction and sort of the transmission of the interaction is much more similar to a conventional into where we have a sort of luxury of over three hours and having people here. personally news much more time sort of conversation. so so i have more sympathy with these people who really mean i mean it's real understanding that the constraints of the medium are one of the nation's factors they're not the only potential suspect that there's also the constraints of the people that isolation behind the media so how did you get to know r.t. and why did you choose our chief political cost in your first program where i've seen artie's reportage on the attacks on which he makes for a number of years and that reporters has generally been quite supportive when we

were looking for what international broadcaster we wished to partner with as opposed to the actual protocol since we look to see what was the penetration into the united states. and. had higher pay traditionally in the united states are going to zero for b.b.c. news they're reading from distant but the b.b.c. has been acting hostile going to towards us so we can consider what they can see would be a part of the problem is he aims to provide this kind of alternative view so they use ads by the international mainstream channels is your choice of r.t.s. the platform for your interview show your kind of response to that mainstream media well it is or is the response seems that a lot of the things that we have been trying to report have not been carried back in the mainstream press there are many many fine exceptions but when we look at international networks there's really our meat it was speaking about and i would

want to know if there are. other youth national networks. as far as we are concerned too busy considering a bit of our national agenda now if we had been producing a luminous material about russia perhaps that situation was different but in the case of we are in europe a lot of it we are major confrontation with the west we're going to publish material for many conferences. is a natural part of the trip we can start to look for the same to go to zero but our teams have a great of a tradition for it's going to this is going to be no want to talk to you but how do you receive the first from other channels as anyone else approached you with some things yes we would see more than a smile which i don't and we are sublicense anything short of other and affable because those are teams that are in for a full broadcast incensed at c.n.n. or if you're a citizen for you've worked closely with i want what we called the mainstream media

in the past what did that teach you about them. any organization want to grows to sufficient size and has sufficient influence so it's having to make political compromises and media organizations by the very nature into age in the political sphere so the editors and publishers of new york race relations have to sit down at the table with that i think once they start becoming talking problems for groups and so we found that working with them when we're trying to get out. through a little bit i think it's a sort of the guardian when you're trying to b.b.c. these organizations so sensitive you know tremendously frequently. and in a way which is against a study about it's not just against you are about it it's against instead of and in some cases even against the conflicts that we have right in front of this nation and you mention several specific at publications in channels that what response do

you expect from the international mass media some of whom you've already gotten outweighs right do you expect a level of course i'm going to say what of course i mean it but those organizations like the new york times and we have refused to work with in place that permit what they were doing back in two thousand and ten although we do work with individual journalists in europe to meet and drills and other institutions that were no problems with. its use that you know they look back i mean just like they do with any compelling competing for europe you have been a very recent being story they always write against the story what sort of form do you expect that person to take that's american is sort of obvious one. is doing this on an illegal gratton to the traitor getting into bed with people you know requirement i don't. know and interviewing. terrible radicals for a little bit i think that's a sort of it's a pretty trivial kind of attack kind of. if they actually look at how the show was

made we made him. we have complete going to real control we believe that all your organizations have and i think all media organizations have a nation. is a voice or brush so great it looks and it's from the russian agenda. the b.b.c. is a voice of the british government for its americans the worse american government and it is that the clashing of these voices together it reveals the truth about the world as a whole now if you want the moment is that we are in a legal confrontation with the department of justice in the united states as a result they're reasonably patient and it's concerned with united states so it's very natural for in order for us to speak for the way we see the world interesting things in the world we need to partner with organisations that are actually capable of speaking and unfortunately the majority of the big networks

a lot in states and they are not capable of effectively criticizing the us going to be a beautiful symmetry where you restrained by editorial policies while you are making a programme for watching no not at all we make a programme whose main independent of british production company is the internet from can sort of transcend our taint so. no state has any kind of real control over pixar it is a very strange was it capable of exercise but i think i have you found you found that to be true yet absolutely. there has been no interference in the shuttle when you were choosing the guests what were your criteria. or the single biggest criterion for a come up short that's quite that's quite interesting because there are a number of carrots that we couldn't get and so let's talk about that sort of censorship so we're still trying to how we can is currently in prison under house

arrest and sort of he views it he political situation makes it extremely difficult for him to speak to the media report card quite a cost and. you know prison in russia. was a was a billionaire all got in his brain for some sort of iraq to speak for him he's in a prison. there if we look at some of the big us inside and so people who. put the power of some dried words corporations that we have. in direct personal contact. so some of them say no it's too dangerous for the u.s. government is concerned there is someone out there to help us i'd like to be for it but politically it's just a great dance so then we go to the other groups that we have to raise and we did actually get most of them so those are. people who normally don't

give a voice could any of the guests 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. what is faded saying is that the majority of what they have said to me they could not say on a mainstream t.v. network that is not just because of self-censorship because of the networks it's because my style of interaction as someone who has been interviewed by the media many many times. i understand the faults. in that format and so i wanted something that looked at that sort of depth in the situations that they had so a way of. pulling out their story about this situation from their own perspective and not in something that would be the medium for millions of fans in dealing with me they understand that they're not to feeling with the host governments dealing

with a reporter are they dealing with someone who's been through a very trying bangers and difficult for medical situation so they can speak to a degree as equals because they understand that i understand for example mostly they're still writing to me to have me in prison that's some strange side thing in prison so immediately there's a sort of report that is present there is not present in every doing where do you invite anyone from russia's political opposition to be on your program of saying you think and i mean this what we've invited a number of people from russia's political opposition to the russian election cycle into feet in front of the scheduling of a we're going to the real seat they'll turn up for what we have invited nearly all the permanent things and we're going to bribe people from the russian government as well and i get some you're going to use any new wiki leaks they said for this project we have actually used it for some requested something. but it is not

in general. or if it's we're not using this sort of defending we sort of put her occasional this. information we have is quite interesting i know any of your guests directly linked to whitney's of the nation oh yes yes there's. all if this part you know right from what extent did the restricting of your freedom of movement kind of into fare in the making of the programs well the restriction my freedom of movement is what caused the programs in europe now i mean over four hundred sixty days the pain got charge and i was used to going around the world from place the place where the greatest political dynamics were where we could be revised the system. and so it's quite isolating to be correct and stuck out in the countryside front of those conditions so this all began as a as

a rite of. bringing people to me so that we could understand what was actually happening at all because we need to understand a part of growing which should be what is actually happening to us or thank you very much thank you. well. technology innovation all the developments around russia we've gone to the future of. the official see how we can chill on the phone called talk from the. lights on the go. video. cheesemonger old
