the mainstream often ignores. and you can see the next full version of his debut show in an hour's time here on our t.v. before first aired our lawrence smith talked to the wiki leaks founder about what drove him to launch this program on our channel. why did you decide to do your own show become a. there's two reasons first of all being on the house arrest for sort of no it's nice to have an occasional visitor and you know to learn more about the world and given the conversations we were having a quite interesting thought up there with some of the people what was going on that's one reason the second reason is that as someone who's given them more than two years before i did it they don't really see being a lot of very aggressive mistrials i found that i wasn't getting much more audience

and to be. pretty quickly people weren't just keeps in a sort of standard defensive response and so on so people could take them sit it out of context and i want to have a different sort of proportion of the people and why that approach has been difficult and sometimes i think it's also succeed i don't know the ways and it's very very sides are very interesting and important thing for them that are not normal you don't think about because they're not dealing with instead getting to know the you dealing with them going to consent to house arrest. and going through political problems but i think that's how did you get to know r.t. and why did you choose r.t. for political cost of your first program we have seen artie's reportage on the attacks on what he makes for a number of years and that reportage has been quite supportive when we were looking what international broadcasting we department as opposed to actual brokaw since we

look to see what was the paper rationing into states. and he had higher penetration in the united states and it was an era of peace and it is the leading contestant but the b.b.c. has a directive hostile towards not so we couldn't conceive of the big concern for the problem of artsy aims to provide this kind of alternative to those 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 oh it is or is a 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 mean even define exceptions but when we look at international networks there's really only two that it was speaking about and they got to you know consider the you know the international networks are

as far as we are concerned. considering they are american military that now if we had been producing a luminous material about russia perhaps that's a word from different but in the case that we are in at the moment where our major confrontation is with the west we're going to publish material for me come from it's. natural product. to produce the material from the site there would be zero put markings had greater penetration in front this is going to be you want to see but have you received offers from other channels does anyone else approached you with crutches or friends yes very often some of which i know some we are some licensing fee for to know about from customs our teams are in for a full cost or in the sense that sitting for company would be the same thing for you've worked closely with what we call the mainstream media in the past what did that teach you about. any organization wants and grows to

a sufficient size and has sufficient influence starts having to make political compromises and media organizations by the very make everything ok in the political sphere so the editors and publishers of media organizations have to sit down at the table with proper they start becoming facts and problems but i think rip's and so we have found that working with them when we're trying to get out well material of isolation and saying such is the guardian you know part of the p.c. these organizations self-censorship tremendously infrequently and and in a way which is against very straight about it's not just things that are insensitive and in some cases even against the contracts that we have writing for the conversation and you mentioned several specific publications and channels that what response do you expect from the international mass media some of whom you've already gotten outweighs the right to expect a level of criticism and i've said why of course i mean your organization is like

the new york times and we have refused to work with it but it's the public what they were doing back in two thousand and ten although we do work with individual journalists and they were talking to me to meet with other institutions that were problems with. assuming that they will they were correct i mean that's like going to. any petty competing vein of media we're going to ration the reason the big story they always write a good story what sort of form do you expect that christians are to take it's american the sort of operatives for one. has to have a enemy combatant a traitor getting into bed with. a criminal and. and interviewing. terrible radicals for. i think that's the sort of it's a pretty trivial kind of attack on character if they actually look at how the soviets right we made couldn't. we have complete and total control we believe that

all media organizations have an uncle all media organizations have a nation the party is a boy's arborescent so read his books and films from the russian agenda. b.b.c. even more so in the pretty confident voice of americans a voice of american government and it is the big question in all of these voices together they reveal some truths about the world as a whole now if you want the moment you think we are in a legal confrontation with the department of justice in the united states as a result of our recent publication which concerned the united states so it's very natural for an order for us to speak about the way we see the world and the interesting things in the world we need to probably go off and isolationist about actually capable of functioning and unfortunately the majority of big networks in american states are now not capable of affectively criticizing the us military

power or maybe it's the for military part where you restrained by editorial policies while you are making a program for acting no not at all we make the program has made an independent point of production companies the internet for progress sort of sort of some sort of thing so knows they has any information we can for them bring it sort of it's a very strange was a table of kleenex i think and have you found you found that to be true. yes absolutely but that has been going in the short other when you were choosing the guests what were your criteria. so the single biggest criterion since they were kind of the shark that's quite that's quite interesting because there are a number of cats that we couldn't get and so that's talk about that so this isn't censorship so we're still trying but it's how we were in this current laden prison under house arrest and so i know he views it in political situations makes it extremely difficult for him to speak for me you know. what it cost. you know

prison in russia was it was a billionaire or got this in the present sort of good luck to speak to him he's important. then if we look at some of the big us and science people don't have it to the tops of power of some giant where it's corporations that we have. in direct personal contact with so some of them say no it's too dangerous as far as u.s. government is concerned yes i would have to help you get the next story but politically it's just too dangerous so then we go to the other groups we have terrorism and we did actually get most of it so those are. people who normally don't get 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 if you haven't.

what do you say to say is that the majority of what they have said to me to break with not saying or the mainstream thinking at work and in dealing with me. they understand that they're not just dealing with a host going up and dealing with a reporter they dealing with someone who has been through a very trying that's going through some physical for medical situation so they can speak to a degree i think and because they understand that i and for example mostly guess that i interviewed have been in prison at some stage so i think but an immediate leader the sort of report that is present that is not present in return and that's why did you pass on not directing the fact caxton the background so the interview would have said as it were is really quite an extraordinary because t.v. has turned out to i had not been properly interviewed by an english speaking

network since before the two thousand and six war with israel i can fact our research and say that perhaps not even twelve years hence and yet in the middle east he used a loved and reviewed to get outside of israel in the united states and he's declared it. so here is a figure since no one at least outside middle east has really seen before and we want to show to who we've been it's person actually it's oh not like why we were. has another he's involved in the conflict in syria so if syria collapses into into civil war that is going to directly affect me and those of the party who has been a mix up part of his cabinet and i think part of the supply routes for arms to his work comes from syria from the position groups we've seen in syria have said that if they come into power it will be the end of this instance. or even record since

there has been up those groups trying to curry favor and support from what's so his position is for parents in the number of ways and also instead of running question are you concerned that you will come under fire for having interviewed a person who is not in some part of the world as a terrorist leader yes i hope so actually i think i would use the best thing really if we can have a lot of controversy about this now as we're interviewing them for the movie it will make people look he was in spain and really has been with really what it is that i know it's going on there there are lots of compromises that have to be made by groups like his work some of those compromises for something that has been what has to make. are they as a result of a very radical ideology and some of that comes down to where do you invite anyone from russia's political opposition to be on your program to say you think it might be because we have invited a number of people from russia's political opposition of the russian election cycle

to feel that come from the front of the kid from the playbook for real sleep at all to go where they invited all the prominent things and we're going by the people from the russian government as well from them but you're going to use any new wiki leaks they said for these projects we have actually using from some of the questions something. pretty but it is not in general. nor it's we're not using this word to persuade you we think it's not there but. this. information that we have is quite interesting i'm not any of your guests directly linked to wiki leaks from a sham yes yes this is. all but this part you know the phrase never to what extent did the restricting of your freedom of movement kind of interfere in the making of the programs well the restriction my freedom of movement is what caused the programs. here and now i mean over four hundred sixty days the

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 organized this is the . and so it's quite isolating. to be correct and started out in the english countryside under those conditions or so this all began as a way or of. bringing people to me so we found disturbing what was actually happening in the world because we need to understand the problem of writing recently what is actually happening if you have so much thank you very much thank you. you official preconditions your own phone called touch from the. job she lives on the go. below.
