is bent on damaging america how did this guy just land his own t.v. show the implication is a sergeant is a russian agent whose anti-american mission is now out in the open for all to see and accusations kept flying as the whistleblowers very own show premiered on tuesday but i saw it coming because doing this on a daily combatant freighter. the kremlin. and interviewing. terrible radicals. i think that's the sort of it's a pretty pretty current. with actually look at how the service great remake we have complete control over the guests of his first show was the head of hezbollah designated by the us as a terrorist organization it was not starlost first interview with international channel in six years the reason why him could be found in the interview itself the

united states is. costing into us. when they want to be able to tell people that one of us are terrorists or is that ok nice nation. but is that they want that people listen to us high on the high for example if there wasn't just a trial and yet the very least the defendant should have an opportunity to defend themselves some say in the court of public opinion as presented by the us mainstream media there is a tendency to simplify issues often at the expense of the full picture somebody who agrees or doesn't agree with hezbollah's ideas or all of their ideas ideology or their theology the american people need to hear the voice of hezbollah rather than simply have them demonized targeted as a quote terrorist by the purpose of demonizing somebody like nasr our or nelson mandela who was considered a terrorist until one nine hundred eighty eight is not really to stop terrorist ideas from infiltrating but for the american people to only hear one side of

a debate only hear one side of an argument julian assange is now under house arrest in the u.k. fighting extradition to sweden where he may well be extradited to the united states u.s. prosecutors reportedly have a secret indictment ready for us on was made public thousands of leaked documents with embarrassing details relating to the worsening iraq and afghanistan as well as other issues in the u.s. has been under fire from capitol hill the light house and the media and we've got to apprehend mr assigns the founder of wiki leaks and bring him to justice as a as a violator of the espionage act because if we don't just keep tapping the dead men can't leaks that this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law of the united states the guy ought to be shot i'm not for the death penalty so i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it illegally shoot the son of a what about freedom of information cherished as

a core principle of democracy it's almost like leading. genie out of the bottle mr songs has the internet. and the governments and everyone else at their own game because he's gone to a place where others have not been before and he's introduced the types of information the range of information that previously were not available if one of the use the media as the court of public opinion then julian assange is someone who presents to a jury that is the viewers arguments evidence of voices which they almost never hear on mainstream media and it's up to the viewers to form an opinion but what many find ironic is that i saw his under attack by the us government and the media for practicing poor for extend the freedom of information that america preaches around the globe i'm going to start our reporting from washington. the first edition of the show that's caused such a stir across the world is coming up next hour here in our t.n.t. can also log onto songe dot com there you'll find a show itself as well as

a twenty minute interview with a week of its founder also feel free to have your say in the comments section and read more about how the world reacted to the program on our website. now around eight hundred rebels across syria have used an amnesty to throw down their arms since the start of the truce that says the regime comes under fire from foreign powers have hinted the government is not keeping its side of the bargain yeah opposition leaders inside syria however say that a mask is facing constant provocation promised fragments of rebel factions. this cease fire is being observed except for some oil ations by week and for going into groups which are unable to seize control of a country these forces have no geopolitical future in syria they continue to still it is in order to engage the army in fighting so that it stands against the syrian

people we tell everyone that we are ready to negotiate with the government and everyone who hasn't steam with economic and political crimes and there are a lot of such people the syrian government is not a corrupt and criminal structure which commits the syrian government says my cousin they are all syrian people. washington has once again called for tougher sanctions against syria earlier measures have already seen the country's foreign currency reserves slashed by half but political analyst while had tears in damascus says it's the people who carry the main burden. when i see sanctions for a civil aviation minus the sanctions for a transfer. currency when you see sanctions on trade these would really take very hard the syrian citizens i do think they really concerned the government and if they do they only concern the government in the sense that they would create

a sense of undressed on certain segments of the population and this whole litany of sanctions has proved over the years to be nothing but it to move to really hit and hurt the weakest members of society the situation though is really tense right now and i think this is not the time for political posturing this is a time for everyone to sit down behind the negotiating table and think about the shape and the future of syria that we want and a syria find itself squeezed in the throes of the arab spring where reports from the one place in the middle east where the season doesn't change. israel is not ready for peace israel wants peace for itself but the proposed dams. thousands go on hunger strike in israeli jails as new peace talks between the two strange nations they were down a truly triumph field have. plastic to bear on our intellectual property drew massive protests across europe lands on shaky ground as

between two schools of thought one of words there's just too much danger and uncertainty to take any kind of interface and the other school of thought which says. in these circumstances israel ought to try to do whatever. disarm there will be for the palestinians it's much starker they've seen change among the arab neighbors that's not only possibly invite but he's seeing them being let down and circled by extremists we look at where the arab spring is likely to lead us it's most likely at this point it would seem to lead us to greater islamist influence around our borders and that means less chances fewer chances of peace rather than more on this war which is part of the border between israel and the west bank are the faces of the heroes of the palestinian people they've been smiling down from here for years and still

germany as well as investor confidence look at the nikkei there are over two per cent that's very positive in d.d.r. and they're also saying that. global growth will now increase of three point five percent instead of three point three percent which was originally thought as for the us survey to benefit from those figures and those figures hope to overshadow other ones including at housing starts and industrial because if you look at the oil the i.m.f. also anticipate that oil prices will increase by ten percent and that's because of supply says restrictions because of international political disruptions to states in mild surprise also as well as reading about the fact that china's biggest oil refinery is said to increase their supply of rough obama saying some very interesting things yes there probably will market it self same as a lot of the markets did it to lay said going else last certainly interesting one
