oxys mind rules. with the palm of your. comb. to launch your. very own interview show on artsy causes of controversy the first episode. for talking to a guest largely frozen out of the mainstream the. photos of u.s. soldiers posing with body parts of dead afghan suicide bombers emerge the latest in a series of scandals involving american troops and their behavior in a war so. bad one hundred days before the start of the summer olympics in london there are accusations that sponsors are using the games as a p.r. campaign to improve their own tarnished reputation.

global news live from the heart of moscow this is our city with me recent shy julian assange debut as a talk show host here on r t was a balance of face criticism and praise from around the globe that's exactly what happened at the world's most famous whistle blower attracted controversy may need to do is choice of guests and of course the channel chosen to broadcast the program has gone extra can gauge was the response. or most american media juliana songes guilty without charge for reckless traitor and a threat to our national security interests sleazeball named julian assange who is bent on damaging america how did this guy just land his own t.v. show the implication is assad is a russian agent whose anti-american mission is now out in the open for all to see

and the accusations kept flying as the whistleblowers very own show premiered on tuesday but also saw it coming. from country for. recordable an. interview with. terrible radicals. i think it's a pretty trivial. actually look at how the servants. we have complete control of 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. closing in to us as well and they want to be able to tell people that he's one of us so terrorism is

a small organization and you know that it merges with the one that people listen to us harp on the heart for example if there wasn't just a trial. it was very different thing to have an opportunity to defend themselves some say in the court of public opinion as presented by the u.s. mainstream media there is a tendency to simplify issues often at the expense of the full picture somebody 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. argued it as a quote terrorist but the purpose of demonizing somebody like nasr 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 were pointedly have a secret indictment ready for our son who's made public thousands of leaked documents with embarrassing details relating to the wars in iraq and afghanistan as well as other issues in the u.s. has been under fire from capitol hill the white house and the media and we've got to apprehend mr science the founder of wiki leaks and bring him to justice as a violator of the espionage act because if we don't want to still keep happening the dead man can't leaks that this guy's a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be shot i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death i don't want to do it illegally shoot son of a what about freedom of information cherish this is a core principle of democracy it's almost like leaving and letting a genie out of the bottle mr assad 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 views the media as the court of public opinion then julian assange is someone who presents to the jury that is the viewers argument by britain's voices which they almost never hear on mainstream media and it's up to the newest to form an opinion but what many find ironic is that all solution is under attack by the us government than the media for practicing poor full extent of freedom of information that america pretty. kids around the group i'm going to start now reporting from washington. well if you were missed the show itself you can always catch the full version on a special section of our website asuncion. dot com there you'll find a pre-show twenty minute interview with the wiki leaks founder himself explains the choice of guests and channel and of course we're always eager to know what you

think of certainly of the first episode comments and find out how other viewers from around the world reacted as well all that and so much more. thought our t.v. dot com. you photographs of american soldiers posing with afghan corpses have emerged in the u.s. the images obtained by the los angeles times appear to show troops smiling for photographs next to the remains of afghan wrongness this comes after a series of scandals that have strained relations between washington and couple a few weeks ago an army american army surgeon sergeant a shooting rampage in two afghan villages killing seventeen and of course in january of video right here appeared online to show u.s. marines urinating on afghan bodies and these new a picture the pictures emerge as nato ministers meet in brussels to discuss the future of afghanistan after international troops leave let's talk further about

this with the older sultanzoy a political analyst and former afghan m.p. good to see you thank you for joining us on our team today these incidents involving u.s. troops what do you think makes them behave in this way. i think this shows on one hand the for tea in its worst kind of behavior of rogue elements and so-called the mightiest military in the world and also it shows a lack of discipline and lack of proper oversight and proper coordination of the disciplinary process and army of for that that this magnitude of these scandals obviously ties between the u.s. and afghanistan but what kind of long lasting legacy will they leave behind when nato troops leave do you think. biggest legacy that it would leave if it doesn't address the problems that it will be left

behind would be that we will think of the west the europeans and the americans as the softer generation who are looking for instant gratification even in wars like this. they expect instant coffee in hamburger results of fast food restaurants in this kind of a war and their lack of stamina and lack of perseverance will create more room in poverty stricken and corruption stricken countries there will be more room for extremism found in mentalism and there is all to. chaos and. problems that will stem from that more you discuss the issue of there being a creation of more room for extremism and fundamental fundamentalism i mean certainly violence seems to be as bad as ever in afghanistan look what happened this past weekend the huge spate of attacks in kabul just at

a time when nato members say they want to cut their mission short what can we expect from the remainder of nato mission in the country do you think. this shows again. lack of. commitment and lack of real stamina and it shows almost in some ways that disintegration of nature that we knew about and we knew of the united states will be busy busy as mr obama has of declared europeans will not to take better. part in the financial responsibilities and believe afghanistan and also the european constituencies also do not want to see this they want to turn their face away and they want to hide their head in the sand and there will be. ninety's revisited in afghanistan in

a different shape and form afghanistan people like us who are touting democracy and freedom and human dignity and human rights we will be left in the large and we will be. hanging on threads to think in some degree and obviously this is this is that to be extreme degree but certainly in the west with america and nato continuing its war in afghanistan with us soldiers posing with body parts of wall of suicide bombers perhaps there might be a mentality of well look you know we got the bad guys here we are celebrating with photographs of the bad guys i mean do you think that kind of mentality could be weighed up in some way. i think i don't know what kind of celebration would this be to even if the bad guy was killed so i don't know what kind of people will pose next to a dead body of a bad guy it's very bad taste i think now as you as you mentioned just a few moments ago you mentioned about the financial rights responsibilities that

nato and other countries have to keep an eye on when it comes to the future of afghanistan you know washington is is right now in brussels trying to talk to its allies about raising one billion dollars a year to a. security forces in the country just how willing to things will european nations be who are already suffering major economic problems do you think they can scrounge together a billion dollars to take over a war that appears to be going on in the so-called graveyard of empires. there are two sides to this story on one hand one billion dollars much less than what they're spending on their own troops in afghanistan it would be a cheap investment on the other hand even one dollar coming from taxpayers from there is the world falling into the pockets of. officials off corrupt government is too much so we have to deal with two things one we have to explain to the

europeans and the american constituency that their investment that they're going to make in the afghan military and security forces is much cheaper than what they're spending on their own security forces on the other hand we should hold our government and other governments and institutions both afghan and foreign in afghanistan accountable to behave better to adhere to transparency to fight corruption and to provide better governance and better services to the people of this country otherwise even one dollar is too much the right of the older sultanzoy political analyst and former afghan m.p. thank you for joining us on our tickets. thank you. for the still to come here on the program on our doubts over a controversial copyright law gripping europe play another blow to the global and sea piracy act. the m.e.p. responsible for its progress into law dismisses it as a threat to civil liberties also. because environmental

disaster in america is now mirrored rocher is george burgess his call so to seven hundred bills there's the regular details in the business in fifteen minutes. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something

else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry for the big picture. good to have you with us here on r.t. we are coming to you live for moscow and the controversial counterfeiting trade agreement it's called act. another blow in europe a vote on its ratification is june of this summer but the n.e.p. responsible for monitoring his progress says it should be rejected and the international bill aims to enforce intellectual property rights and fight internet piracy twenty two countries in the e.u. signed up to be agreement which triggered a wave of protests all across europe by thousands demonstrated against it saying it would give big corporations are unprecedented control over their personal data

political commentator lupe samuel says the treaty exposes undemocratic decision making in the e.u. . the real problem with that specifically is how it shows that the european union it's effectively allowed to do politics without any reference to national populaces so the fact is that this is a piece of you know it's a trade agreement that will. be gay shit on european countries to make law in certain ways but it still is in europe it's european law making effectively by proxy i'm going to shows is that the european union have affectively created institutions and procedures which have prevented these kind of agreements coming under any kind of democratic scrutiny whatsoever but the real problem with it is true that countries have signed up to it but no point of national populous. has had any say whatsoever in the provisions of this agreement so that's why the really troubling aspect of it is the fact that it's fundamentally antidemocratic. so with

actors a future in europe pirate parties have agreed to team up for elections to the european parliament in two thousand and fourteen to promote internet freedom next hour here on our to talk about a speech to recall krieger the founder of the swedish pirate party he says the failure in the similar legislation in the us shows that people's voices can be heard as soon as politicians realize their jobs are at stake. people i think that was the first where the general population really woke up to realizing that what we have been saying all along isn't wolf. we are actually warning for a very real danger out there you have the heating element politicians started to fear for their jobs if that hadn't happened people would already have passed but politicians sort of saw the floor crumble beneath their feet in europe two hundred

fifty million europeans cheering culture that's not a problem with a couple of teenagers that's. the voting population and if you want to keep your job you can't call them criminal. right and not far off from the world of it here on r t but for now it is exactly one hundred days before the olympics start in london however as artie's laura smith explains some sponsors are already making millions using rather questionable marketing tactics all of this in the name of the game. this supposed to be the greenest most sustainable games ever but a quick look at the list of partners and sponsors for london twenty twelve tells
