willingness on the weekly leaks web site says mr zimmerman was threatened with arrest and imprisonment when he asked about his rights this all happened after his interview with mr off where they talked cyber security and freedom in the face of ever expanding government civilians here is a bit of it don't miss the whole thing here and r.t. running all day know that some sites technology enables those also variants of every communication then there is do do the other side of the coin is what we do with it we could admit that for which you go to talk to go to one there are some indeed some legitimate use investigators investigating the bug guys and there were bad guys and so on may need under the supervision of the judicial authority to be able to use. such tools but the question is where to draw this judicial supervision where to go to the control that the citizens can have over the use of those technologies and this is a policy should so there was jeremy and

a bit earlier and not freedom activists mari mccarthy the co-founder of the icelandic digital freedom society he too was stopped at the airport and questioned by u.s. officials about julian assange he says he was later followed and approached by three u.s. officials in washington late at night and asked to become an even warmer sounds like something from a movie as far as the number of people detained or arrested shortly before or after the show might be breaking some television record among other guests there was the president of the bahrain center for human rights and i believe our job was beaten up at bahrain international airport and held in prison for almost a month after recording an interview with julian assange so what can we expect as a few now the court has also raised mr songes extradition to sweden his lawyers have less than two weeks to contest that decision in sweden he's facing. quite thin

allegations of sexual assault which reportedly had to do with consensual but unprotected sex but his supporters are saying it's not songes unprotected sex that they're looking into but rather a way to get him to sweden where it would be arguably easier to hand him over to the united states judging by the reports about people being interrogated one might say that the u.s. is building a case against julian assange. while i can tell you that the latest episode you knew sons you show is here on our t.v. starting from eleven thirty g.m.t. that's twenty five minutes away the first edition of his latest program this week. free from prejudice and stereotypes are president putin's defined russia's ties with china as he looks east for the next three days the neighbors a say hi to why of major international disputes right now such as the syrian conflict concern over u.s. expansion in the asia pacific region. for us. well it's not only

just a visit any just official visit it's a state visit the first one since the report and became the president certainly can have some certain details about its protocol because as we know any president of any country can perform only one state visit to any country during his captaincy certainly this outlines how important this visit is and for some experts this has already been a declaration of intent and decorates an alpha live event which is the show that the foreign policy of russia with his new terror will not change and i first went to europe now he goes to china basically the relations between moscow and beijing have been very strong over the past several decades the trade turnover has been reaching one hundred billion dollars in its turn over every year so definitely this is russia's closest ally not only in terms of economic ties but also on very many international issues as well just in particular. the syrian issue within the u.n. security council russia and china seem to have

a unified position now certainly this this visit will be interesting with a lot of on its agenda and certainly we'll be following this visit over two days as it's here and we'll be bringing all the latest details for our viewers every time we get the new information we will indeed. media conference as well hopefully within the hour sort of thought i was we'll cross to it but now let's cross live to beijing based political scientist dr keil chung is joining us on the lines well from beijing dr hello the u.s. militarily expanding in the asia pacific region announcing it now wants to shift the bulk of his warships to the pacific region by twenty twenty as paging going to be reacting to the move. i believe in china changing the united states military maneuver or an expanding spending you know people who are in military presence in asia simply to green in iraq china are taking very seriously. so president putin's visit to china are at this crucial juncture is it

significant as enhanced enable or what is the purpose do you think of the u.s. relocating its forces it is my reading losing more and more and throw all the green excluded our nation is in trouble and all around the whole. the obama president obama last november and even in australia are they where they have been sitting is becoming is another crucial region the u.s. interest in is hanging more because the u.s. is in march and more and more big trouble they are coming into the region particularly trying to put the u.n. to china's growth or in its ever more growing influence around the region around

the whole u.s. is feeling inferior all of china and all growth in all its international relations and china of course is the fastest growing economy because beijing more influence on the international arena why doesn't the u.s. want improve closer ties in with china like that obvious question you know in the run along now or maybe america yet. adam mark. you know that i am not much concerned about a cultural exchange what i am look uncertain about are american soft power in their trade and into chinese society as president hu jintao has to move them for their whole tour was deeply concerned about how the ratchet westernized nation is going to china a society which the american national time society is much more crucial issue than everybody particular a chinese government should pay attention to to deal with the thought of power in

their traditional meaning and they say it was a key buying china and therefore the destabilized chinese the economic growth and overall political unity here. and there russia and china of course on the same side when it comes to major world this need to mention the just talk about there the syrian conflict right now but also right in north korea why are they singing from the same sheet what binds them you know. at this particular high out of poland when you have these are losing in screw world dominance global agree on the whole wall don't china russia russia china relationship i think is the most important global. conflict or. the way we china and russia are related to each other will bring allow the real change. to the cation of the wall from the union

narrow down and by the west by the united states of how together with russia and china i think they have a hunger for responsibility to make it happen to do more to pour rise of the globe on international relations not for the by the detainee by one global superpower so the russia china relations i think it's now in our highlight now and for size how important it is how crucial these two nations global leadership the strategic operating through the prince what the rules are shall i call creation or a nation including the syria issue and the united nations security council meetings these two nations including the joint leadership is the only power to deter

or change the course what is taking place at the moment in syria or iran and in routing the korea around the world or i thank you for your thoughts much appreciated their base political scientist art kill charm thank you thank you now if you talk to of and sobre mannion from the peterson institute for international economics thanks china has all this needed to run the u.s. economy as a preview is coming up in about twenty minutes time. at the moment china's g.d.p. for example is smaller than that of the united states that's true but if you measure it in terms of purchasing power it's as big as the united states one second china is already the world's largest trade. three china is a net creditor to the world it finances the u.s. and the u.s. is a debtor that's today and over the next ten fifteen years all these numbers are going

to go all in china's favor so the china is going to become an even bigger economy than the u.s. . we mentioned syria just now and the u.n. chief has rejected calls from syria's rebels to impart impose a no fly zone over the country to help bring president assad that the man followed a statement from the fighters saying they're no longer committed to the international troops plan proposed by special envoy kofi annan the rebels claim dozens of government soldiers were killed in clashes in attacks on security checkpoints over the last few days violence comes amid growing voices from the u.s. and its allies for the action it follows reports of plans to set up refugee camps along syria's borders run by the military but that something which will only bring more bloodshed according to middle east blogger karl shero. i think it will actually increase the likelihood of revenge killings kind of sectarian tension

along mixed areas where. revenge or petitions would start to happen and it will suck more and more people in i think syria now it is at that tipping point where the conflict can be pulled back from our sectarian civil war to kind of some form of political framework but once there is actively groups on the ground in syria and whatever kind of formula they are in there they are likely to increase the prospect of bloodshed. and check it out to dot com a website we've got the latest news not dates for you as well as many of the stories you could have missed there right now no promise land for the migrants the israeli government says go all the way to africa as the prime minister calls for a mass deportation while human rights groups describe the expulsion as a moral authority dot com also from us post revolution in libya is seen shooting in violence once again a militia group uses armored vehicles to capture the main airport in tripoli the

important works of art go under the hammer every day in london's west end but how can i love as be sure of what they're buying according to scotland yard a staggering fifty percent of our sold is fact what we're looking at these days is a very considerable increase in faking of twentieth century i've seen a number of provincial auction houses and. so fakes. a considerable scale and i think it's something that we we will accept a lot of forgeries it will say sold on websites but it's not just internet bias we can be taken in by the fall which is crush the latest auction house to come into the spotlight with christie's which is involved in a high court battle with russian tycoon victim paxil but he paid more than two and a half million dollars for a painting he thought was by prominent russian artist buddies cause still

a death and find out later that it appears to have been signed for several years after. the case will go on for nineteen days and according to experts will probably cost more than the painting itself which is one reason why more of these claims don't go to court but another buyer of russian art when confronted with lemons make lemonade eager to see a cough discovered his art collection meant to fund his retirement was mostly forgeries now he's displaying the paintings as a warning to others. when we have gone dog of our money where ashamed to talk of it i'm trying to be the first who says don't be ashamed of showing us because we believe your people who no one would down the moon now the time has passed and we realize we made a mistake and it's important to publicize the mistakes of the world because the quantity of russian figs with this is such that it does. british national. would

afternoon. just when we thought we'd do some positive news for you today. this is the doom and gloom when you go that's right i feel like the weather man has always been accused of having bad news but it's not my fault it's the yours and of course we have another negative reports this time ed says that basically a private sector of seventy and the seventeen nation the eurozone asking track to at its fastest pace in over three years for the month of may and of course as you can see here in the figures as reflected in the wars when it comes to the footsie of course it's closed today as the british are celebrating the belief but when it comes to the dax you see that it's headed towards one percent in the red now also investors are waiting to hear what will happen when the seven major economies hold their emergency call in france called later and the day and they'll be discussing the how to handle the debt crisis that we're going on to russia the markets we are tracking the losses overseas you can see that then why sex is dropping a third of a percent of the arts yes is slightly behind. and what we have in fact investors'

fears well besides europe is the fact that while prices are headed south and once again also about that a little bit later let's take a look at oil prices as i said the currencies i should say they were they would go it's a draw against the u.s. dollar when it comes to the ruble it's gotten against both major currencies and which we haven't seen in a couple of days now now when it comes to oil as i've mentioned crude was on the wrong size earlier and that was on reports that we will see u.s. stockpiles dropping for the first time and eleven weeks that report hasn't come out yet so investors are really reacting to that report to go from the euro zone because i'm less sure that that this will curb supply demand for more energy so there we have it bought and other news we know that russians car market grew by twenty percent last year making it the seventh biggest in the world and that's according to the latest research by after analytics the u.s. and japan in that order claim the top spots and the list. and the speed between the

a trillion dollars a year on weapons if you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war. and this. is the equivalent firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today. which brightened. soon from plans to. start on t.v.
