it starts on t.v. dot com. tonight news outlets on both sides of the atlantic will lash out at their former favorite truth teller as julian assange and his second show premieres today here on r.t. . the top swap in russia president elect but ima put in picks out going needed dimitri medvedev to replace him as head of the country's ruling party but it was also given the final kremlin speech of his. and not so charitable n.g.o.s are being accused of trying to incite foreign action in syria moves similar to those that led to intervention in libya. hello there in a very good evening for me kevin zero in in moscow this is r.t.

it's nine pm moscow time our top story downgraded from hero to traitor in the blink of an eye whistleblower julian sands was hailed by the major media as a real freedom ambassador now the labeling of a nut job after his show did you hear r.t. the second episode which is airing a bit later today laura smith reports behind a sound is image assassination. it was one of the biggest speech and only time ninety two thousand leaked detail of the plucky truths of the afghan war from the ground up set exclusively with a handful of newspapers and julian a soldier was its hero a nomad with no fixed address and a backpack full of secrets contacted some of the big mainstream players in the media markets and they were only too happy of course to piggyback off one of the greatest or perhaps the greatest leak of classified information in history the

guardian has benefited hugely by the deal they made with. the leaks contains the material for dozens of stories in the new york times and the guardian in heart seeing their reputations as protectors of democracy and press freedoms but then the guardian newspaper one the best fans of the original media partners called him an important figure and most interesting and unusual i can hear but now in the pages of the very same publication you think you've still it's yes from hero to direct. but now and nothing more than journalistic jealousy a useful idiots in the guardian but not a job in the new york times with partners like these who needs enemies it staggers me to absolutely at least. before that so many journalists who really i think their job should be troubling authority their job should be preventing governments working in the dark seem to be so critical of somebody who's probably gone with the

most major issues in getting journalism a service and challenging power in recent years after one reason he chose our time to broadcast his program is that other channels would let the people he wanted to interview say defames they wanted to say some say the resulting backlash on both sides of the atlantic is a way for publications of questionable integrity to whitewash their. images it really makes american media outlets feel good to be able to point to other media outlets and say oh work over there those are tools and instruments for state propaganda because when they do that they get you forget about and obscure the yoke their own role in disseminating state propaganda most notoriously in the lead up to the iraq war where for example the new york times did more than almost anybody to convince americans about the need to attack iraq based on a lie but even since then the model of the us new years very much to show faith all boil to each of us government and so it's really there's really a lot of irony in

a park or seeing this criticism in a third of irony for the guardian it's a backlash seems to have seriously misjudged its readership comments in response to the article overwhelmingly supportive of our stars and his show and accuse the paper of bearing a childish grudge at best it's the angry at worst it is. crucial political viewpoints taken by the mainstream media they don't like what the wiki cables have revealed they don't like what julian assange has represents because it really does threaten with perspective of mainstream media perhaps this latest and unintended it shows how so-called liberal media outlets like the guardian in the york times are anything but demonstrating instead an intolerance that those who don't play by their rules and no risk arthel london's. just let you know if you're caught it already there you can see julian assange just second show here in just

twenty five minutes on this channel when he'll bring together two political extremes for some ideological fireworks we can promise you you can also catch the show online just head to a song dot r t dot com to watch the program then whenever your fancy. present a leg let me put him speak to me to make better for a place him as the leader of the ruling united russia party putin takes over the country's top job from a vote of then in two weeks is a teaser when english. he is going to step down from his post as the chairman of the united pressure and he proposed meeting with bennett's candidacy for that post

that of course will happen after the inauguration which is to take place on the seventh of may and of course the person who is going to be heading the united russia will have to be elected during the attention of the united russia so that will also happened in the second half make now need to be vetted has met with the members of the state council and given them a speech on the cheapness and shortcomings off his presidential terms you mentioned among other things some of the issues which we still need to be worked on in russia those words are education increasing the life span in the over the next six years and of course fighting corruption in ancient china is being used to say the biggest problem is despising your enemy which we've declared war on corruption we know who our enemy is and we will not back down the first time in russian history we've created the right legal tools to fight this well armed enemy and we will carry on

this fight. but some of the improvements he's also mentioned that among those is the level of inflation which seems to have gone down to the level where it was four years ago right before the financial crisis so it does look like russia has made it out of the economic slump a lot better than a lot of other countries is also talked about the demographic problem which doesn't seem to threaten russia as much as before it also of course makes me very hard returns to the issue of freedom versus my own freedom he said that some russians have been associating the two markers the end freedom with chaos and absence of any bodily comfort he said that that is a mistake and he has encouraged people to take a more active part in the civil society which we need even that democracy is no longer a swear word it's christy she has been recovered and its prospects for our country of origin i believe the political diversity and direction of the conflict. politics will only hold you should democracy improve we will become stronger and more

effective as far as this with his plans for what he's going to do after he is no longer actually president we can assume that most likely the chairman of the united russia party and a lot of work casters or say that he is the most likely candidate for the prime ministerial polls. all the way in a few minutes on this channel why israelis should be worried. if someone will call me i don't know or they need to one of their leaders say the strength to attack iran is no hot air but i have nothing prepared for the road citizens if to run his black as we are for and it might look like a war zone in southeast asia that you're seeing here but it's not we report from that massive joint exercises between the russian and chinese naval forces in the yellow sea right now we examine what's driving. that next far from bringing a helping hand in an embattled nation n.g.o.s operating in syria a big accused of helping the push towards military intervention some are peddling

unverified reports to deliberately encourage foreign action as that is more important to expose the agency's hold sway too with groups like nato which has weighed in on their findings before with deadly consequences. it was billed as a necessary humanitarian intervention requiring nato warplanes to reign bombs on libya before the u.s. led attack on the market alfie's forces. came unconfirmed allegations from western funded non-governmental organizations here who move on to the assembly on the rise in saturday because information they need to get out of. the mess and that includes these mercenaries seem to have alcohol or. religion and kill also be a distinction according to a new report by the center for the study of interventionism many western n.g.o.s

exaggerated the circumstances in libya to expedite the campaign led by america britain and france some admitted mistakes after the damage was done but who would you prefer to believe it would have if you're going to do that we have. to say who has a record of things unfortunately we have seem. very cozy chose for lucian ship building up between certain powerful image of human rights watch a mystery international they're supposed to object to but really which knowledge and standards equally of course doesn't take sides with these organizations as i say entering into an excessively cozy relationship with for example the united states government but also with other powerful western allies over libya under the provisions. currently the most pressing issue in syria after more than a year of violence critics say western funded n.g.o.s appear to be following the

same pattern be equivalently to like a libyan leader a human rights which is called the center of human rights as a detention the same role they've made statements to the human rights council they alleged crime. against humanity they called safe havens. armed intervention in that country and they are quite sure it's who are trying to secure a military intervention against syria along the lines of what was totally or at least approved last year in order for connie to be arrested this year this infamous connie twenty twelve movie came from california peace ngo invisible children it said the film a into early use of child soldiers and promote peace in the ugandan civil war but according to u.s. embassy cables posted by wiki leaks invisible children provided uganda's authorities with intelligence in two thousand and nine that led to the arrest of

the t.v. especially since more time parts of new york alerting you to some stories on our website are interested in reading about how the u.s. may stay in afghanistan for another decade beyond the twenty fourteenth. calling to draft punxsutawney yesterday on this channel between washington and american forces may be used to describe snow was a plan to defend gonna stand if you want to do so more with developing stories online from us but. also this one out they are. robo ship mineral riches that water and fuel within five to ten years but. that's the big question more on our website i. think these are the images we're seeing from the streets of canada. operations.

the official policy application to your i pod touch from the. video on demand. of my old girls and. dot com. former ukrainian prime minister yulia timoshenko who's currently serving a seven year for abuse of power has gone on hunger strike she's been refusing food for five days now after another corruption probe was launched against that when she insists fabricated commissioner was taken to hospital last friday which her lawyer claims was against their will on things like syria jet ski has the latest from ukraine. unity michigan herself has accused policeman working in the prison in

backing from nordic states for its bid to gain a foothold in the arctic region and its vast energy resources china's prime minister is now in sweden for talks francis learn from hong kong based investment firm told us that while not all arctic nations are key to work with beijing they will eventually have to accept chinese involvement. i think in the key question where the nordics six explosions i think these we give. them back in there fighting for resources in the arctic ocean in china roof. of. the arctic powers like. norway. not one two people would other countries expression a lot a strong. china is now china's really not big enough to petro would be arctic ocean as of now but. they all stop.

they were very family lives in midst of range of gaza for years they complained to the government they had no shelter to protect them from because someone fired by hamas but the supply of immigrant town wasn't a top priority for tel aviv far from it prompting yakov to eventually build a shelter himself to protect his family we went through some very tough years we used to worry all the time every time we left the house we were in danger when we went to the store to school or to work it took a direct hit on your courthouse five years ago before the government finally woke up and bought him a shelter opposite the one he did with people to solve now across his was closest to gaza there were bomb shelters in the street on sports fields and in children's playground where they cleverly disguised like this one but that one for sure the rest of the country in the event of a conflict with a much bigger threat of iran if this government wants to start

a war difficult poor civilian population for a show of walkers of all crimes. we've got one point seven million people that haven't got insured. we've got three and a half million people with hiv in god guess misc israelis themselves are skeptical about the country's ability to defend itself many still remember iraqi scud missiles the man in the center of israel some twenty years ago and a scathing government report issued months ago suggests the home front is woefully unprepared and the government. doesn't want to put obviously doesn't want to put the public into panic but i think the public itself probably does not believe in a strike is imminent other words people who've gone crazy the experts say any

israeli military strike is very likely to draw any rain in retaliation the target of which is no secret this is the city that he ran has threatened to pummel with missiles in response to any israeli attack but many of the public bomb shelters here are dusty and neglected and whereas in previous times of tension tel aviv distributed gas masks many of those mosques remain in storage i really don't know why they are talking about it so much that's why i think there won't be a war because we are talking about it i don't think there will be a war because i think government is. going in not doing nothing to prepare citizens for the situation if someone will bore me i don't know or they need to one. which has many wondering what exactly tel aviv has planned up its sleeve if it governmentally really. impaired to start a war they would do things differently or at least prepared a public policy r.t.
