it's seven pm here in moscow this is r t coming to you ivanova nominees now and with our top story this tuesday is seeing the premier on our cio one of the most highly anticipated news talk shows of recent years world renowned whistleblower julian assange just going head to head with a series of controversal high profile figures despite having been stuck in house arrest in the u.k. for a staggering five hundred days morris smith has more on the first edition of the show that promises to give the floor for those mostly shunned by the mainstream media. it's an interview with someone who's only very rarely heard from in the west's last time with six years ago the millions he's a freedom fighter but for millions of others he's a terrorist it's the highly controversial leader of hezbollah that now for the

assumption that it's really took a group range of issues to do with his areas of influence including the israeli palestinian conflict and hezbollah its role in the international struggle over syria now it's really revealed for the first time that has allowed contacted the opposition in syria to urge them to negotiate with the regime they refuse that hezbollah will keep pushing. what we call for in serious negotiations dialogue is that the reform effort reform is going to be carried out because the alternative to that and the cause of the first is to somebody else inside syria because of the sensitivity of the situation in syria those are the terms to which they would just go and this is exactly what america and israel want for syria that's really also pointed to the involvement of al qaida in syria saying agitated out in great iraq are you sam will be followed by more wild card in memphis from elsewhere in the arab world they he says are trying to day belies syria and turkey to

a battleground elsewhere in the region not really reiterated hezbollah its view that palestine belongs to the palestinian areas and somehow if you have if your house and i go no can come by force doesn't become mine interest me or i'm going to do is just because i'm stronger than your idea it will kill you and that doesn't give me it doesn't realize my question for your house now i went to talk to. the head of the broadcast of the program at the secretly cation where he films that show we told all about the show how he chose the guests because he spent a lot of time himself on the other side of the interview with death he talks about his disenchantment with mainstream media and why he chose an r t to broadcast this show and also why he feels that he's in a unique position to make an interview show of his current let's hear what he had to say. a majority of what they.

want to raise from work i was doing with me ok i understand that the north of you were going to host government there were reports that. it was someone who's been very. very personal typical for medical situation so they can speak from the green as equals because. it's not too late the whole show it will be broadcast here on our t.v. every two hours through tuesday to catch it. and work next showing the debut edition of julian assange in about twenty five minutes right here on r.t. . i woman's within syria's opposition admit the kofi annan peace plan is the last chance. to end violence but after talks in moscow with the syrian national coordinator in committee russia warned that some foreign states are still urging the rebels not meant to cease fire earlier russia's foreign minister can only u.s. and some gulf nations for greens to give money to the opposition despite ongoing

peace efforts there renewed mass rallies in syria move the truce but there are fears that some legitimate peaceful calls for freedom and democracy are being smeared by the armed militia on a boy because they this report from damascus contains some graphic footage and she may find upsetting. this is the need to face of the syrian revolution and shaven men and with kalashnikovs appealing to the international community to still be killing our children the blood thirsty as army. just a few weeks later the same man this time posing as soldiers are going around homes 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 and united states of america. so far. and the finish and for some united states of america. for if we don't. who are fighting really for a moment. of united states. this is the case for now and if your talk about syria we have. terrorism organization of course this is also the syrian opposition but their faces goals and ways of achieving them are strikingly different these kurdish women 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 are rallying under is for the 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 almost there were clear currents in damascus this time even syrian state t.v. came to fill my arms rebels grab their attention the syrian opposition has many faces and there's a growing concern here that by supporting the radicals the west may be hurting because of more moderate forces that begun part has essentially drawn down more legitimate calls for democratic change while the organizers of this rally received a permit from their thirties they didn't last long an hour into the protest a group of assad supporters appeared from nowhere sending demonstrators running on this occasion nobody was hurt or detained. democracy is about the rule of the majority and the my jordi of the people support bashar al assad these people maybe

carry with they're not there from from go. of course that supporters there is indeed little difference between peaceful protesters and the rebels and it looks like the west is meeting the theme is think they betting on the armed opposition international chorus make activists like this guilty of association with the gun charging militia. violence. it gets much much worse and a lot of. girls are not promote democracy but quite the opposite. and even in the long run. itself are tolerated but when it comes to politics the glass 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 it's not going to artsy them ask syria. coming up

later this hour the u.s. government just won't quit when it comes to tightening the noose around the net it's a bill that would let a finnish cells take what they want when they want with your private online data and there's a week of serious protesting ahead because of it plus. he says he killed seventy seven innocent people as an act of goodness but his mental state is still yet to be determined to bring you the latest on the anders breivik mass murder and terror trial.

wealthy british style. market. i don't really happening to the global economy with much stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. there's a report. no regrets or repentance from the region mass killer anders breivik says he would have done it again his testimony came on day two of his trial but his evidence has been published instead of broadcast like the rest of the hearing very good meds last summer's bomb and gun attacks and also which killed seventy seven people but

please no. kill the thing it was in south fence to protect norway. kids this hearing was delayed after a judge was dismissed for commenting on facebook shortly after the tragedy a private deserve the death penalty banned in norway that is these may be disallowed but still think helen has massacre as the most spectacular and sophisticated attack on europe since world war two after many graphics getting back to what he wanted a platform this extreme right here this. is the way through all the 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 all i'm a man who who is deluded and a racist this is something that we've seen across the european union. in germany

and in france in the united kingdom as well as in norway is just he was particularly successful but i think he see he's one of. many maybe too strong really he's certainly not unique in amy's whatsoever and least groups are actually working together to promote these kind of lone wolves sue into any senses follow the same pattern loosely some of the muslim fundamentalists. well if anders breivik is ruled this same the maximum jail sentence he'd receive is just twenty one years but that could be extended if he's considered to still pose a threat to society if not then it's three months in prison for every person killed was are you going to see the prison which may house breivik and where the mass killer until a few days behind bars. so it won't torture techniques used by the u.s. against terrorist suspects have been labeled war crimes it's an elite secret state

department officials memo which also reveals a warning to the bush administration about their use as me to explain some believe president obama is turning a blind eye to america's past. america's so-called war on terror produced images and accounts that ignited a world of questions about torture and the u.s. treatment of suspects the american people need to know or using techniques within the law. two years after george w. bush left the white house this talk about waterboarding the former commander in chief admitted his stamp of approval for the use of interrogation techniques like waterboarding inhumane and illegal under u.s. law and the geneva conventions was waterboarding legal in your opinion but there's a lawyer said it was legal so there's no salt in the. torture. and the church has to judge other people where you and i do the bush administration

also chose to disregard the judgment of a top adviser who warned that the cia's interrogation of terror suspects equated to felony war crimes according to a secret memo obtained by wired magazine in two thousand and six state department counselor philip zelikow warned the white house that controversial interrogation techniques such as waterboarding 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 done over the last ten years and name of america there is a precedent because after the second world war united states actually executed japanese soldiers who had. used torture. against american prisons they took action against the japanese when they did the u.s. has been on record as opposing. 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 clear of saving america's historic commitments to international justice obviously we're going to be looking at past practices. and don't believe that anybody has a problem on the other hand i also have a belief that we need to work for those laws as opposed to look looking backwards last june obama's u.s. justice department dropped in ninety nine out of one hundred in one cases against cia interrogators over the use of torture i'm afraid but the current ministration wants to keep those options open they don't want to label these techniques just as crimes you're torture because that would include you know why we're doing that we will definition however it's slightly grainy and you needn't soldiery auction replied mr newts once again and there 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 the problem is that in the west we you know we make great claim that we promote our great democracies but there is a kind of stick up. hati. will not press charges and will not take legal action against any crimes of previous administrations through the use of torture rendition 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 greenup or guy artsy new york. another cybersecurity bill found its way into congress in the sates

which liberty groups say will let the government harvest any on line personal data whenever it wants and launching a week of protests against after the success of the relevant toria stop online piracy act freedom activist trevor tim thinks it's time bomb makers. before we were trying to stop sopa congress wouldn't return the calls of the civil liberties community they would return to calls 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 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 week one protest this week actually trying to convince congressmen to the no on

this bill until they take up 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. but r.t. dot com we're not about the increasing attempts by governments and big businesses and getting its hands on your data and fixating what you can and can't do on the internet while you're there here's what else you're still free to watch freezing freezing and america's accused of stealing over two hundred million dollars of the paid of cuban funds now there are questions over who else has money on the move. also some are resting art as police swooped on a russian father and daughter who made millions dealing in fakes draw your own conclusions that are to the dot com.

back to one of our top stories this evening the situation in syria and a team of u.n. monitors has started a mission in the country to ensure that both the government and the opposition respect the terms of a recent truce let's not talk to political analyst he was in damascus and now joins us live thank you for being with us. we're hearing that a monitoring chief says the cease fire is not being observed in syria what is happening there. well what is happening is exactly what your station has been saying and many other news media all of it seems that there are certain factions within the opposition or the so-called drug movement that have absolutely no interest and suspicion of the state it is and so. although the government has

declared the knife in case they can steps to. hold any military actions there are steam parties in the conflict and regional parties and international parties that do not want to see any useful new solution or at least any form of cease fire in syria for the time being the other men who have been very reluctant to talk with the government as a syrian do you see these negotiations ever happening. while it is the only way i think certain members of the opposition in syria are a lot more realistic than those who are sitting in air conditioned offices in london and paris i think the only way forward in syria is through negotiations between the government and the various spectrums or political position in the country and i think what will happen eventually is that people will realize that

the only way to actually effect change in syria is they can use for weight because if the conflict escalates we unfortunately may be facing a very bloody civil war but is that a reality dealing with it through diplomacy the syrian opposition is already calling for more rallies against president although russia has warned that such gatherings could in fact lead to provocations what do you think how are we going to see this unfold in the next couple of days. you can hear i was just asking how you see the situation ideally yes it would be through diplomacy but there are a lot of fears that we're going to see more violence what do you think. ok we seem to have a lot of. water in damascus at least we had a small chance there to get a little bit of analysis him from in side syria let's take a look at some other stories from around the world this hour radical islamist

cleric has been arrested in london and told that britain will try and deport him to his native jordan thought as an advocate advocated attacking americans and killing jews since landing in the u.k. fifteen years ago spite mass public and parliamentary support to kick him out britain's been hamstrung by the european courts which they thought would infringe the hate preachers rights. angry scenes in a cairo court where defendants tars over the deaths of seventy five people at the port side football riot to clear their innocence confined to the caves they chanted for justice or death the riot in february broke out between longstanding rival supporters of a local and cairo team many face murder trials while nine police officers have been charged with assisting their group in attacking cairo france. and the space shuttle discovery is in virginia having landed for the final time aboard

a modified jumbo jet on its way to the smithsonian museum in washington and thirty years of space exploration discovery does not most traveled subtle it left florida's kennedy space center where thousands lined the old lending strip to see the crowds head off for the last time. time now to see what's happening in the financial world daniel bushell joins us with the latest business news and danielle markets have split down the middle haven't they yet developed markets are doing well with wall street taking the lead let's have a look at somebody a percent in the warning off goldman sachs profit fell but less than estimates europe's are on the back of the ropes all sliding off the origin team the c's this one here you know emerging markets are suffering from chinese data and general global commodity prices if you can get those up right now they ended down for the second day in a row steelmaker you have rose will sell half a billion dollars

a five year bonds according to a report just out and on the exchange rates the euro's gaining a bit against the greenback off to reaching one month low for the first time the international monetary fund has admitted the prospect of the single currency breaking up and the ruble closed mixed because the main course is it going to the dollar to the euro now here most go president elect a little bit putin supposed to balance the national budget making some big spending promises in his election campaign but in a key note speech he's no pledge to control the budget party's michel. the speech. well it does seem like a change of weather for the russian economy instead of spending more on state project that if a person says the country should save up for the hard times you poor lass and have a self-sufficient mansion what i would offer to do so paled methods used by a former finance minister lexie could in the years preceding the two thousand and eight financial crisis which very much help the country overcome this crisis and

this means that while the extra oil and gas money and by extra he means anything above the average well price will be all this money should be accumulated into a reserve fund as soon as it reaches seven percent of the g.d.p. all the extra money will be going into the big infrastructure projects and into a longer national wealth. and also a very important point. which pretty much of the gas industry is that taxation in this industry is very low it's justifiably low so this is also something to look out. there we've been talking about groundbreaking partnership deal with america's mobile side yesterday at its. technical expertise and. to grocers but also evolves on conventional instruction projects such as shale gas christine just corrina from ratings agencies because explains why this makes sense for russia it is estimated that in terms of conventional recoverable reserves russia has around

one hundred trillion cubic meters in terms of gas but if you look at unconventional potential excluding hydrates he says the main severity of can have anything between one hundred fifty to five hundred trillion cubic meters so that's a huge potential they've seen that. harden the united states so they're trying to cover their faces start understanding how to develop these potential resources in the future that could probably see you know a gobbling or tripling off its own reserves like it has done in canada the u.s. . and europe to the stories on our website. but then you know you course will have more for us throughout the day here on archie in a few minutes the debut show from wiki leaks julian assange two probes hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah in the very first episode here on archie we're going to
