broadcasts and r.s.s. feeds with the palm of your. question on the. u.s. interest in julian a son takes a sinister turn as his contacts are harassed and interrogated in a pirate attempt a fish out information about the wiki leaks founder. moscow and beijing continue to cement their strong ties as day one of the theme of putin's visit to china reaffirms their shared stance on a number of international issues. and as egypt braces for a million strong protests calling for mubarak's execution the muslim brotherhoods accused of capitalizing on people's anger to sweep aside their presidential election rival.

hello this is r.t. it's six pm here in moscow now my name's kevin zero in with the top stories for you this hour and first with just a week left for julian assange has lawyers to challenge his extradition to sweden it seems u.s. authorities already have the knives out for the astray and the wiki leaks founder as program here on our t.v. has apparently awakened the interest of the f.b.i. with one guest on the show even stopped and interrogated by agents he's going to teach a cat has the latest on the story. u.s. officials say there is no indictment against julian assange but apparently the u.s. is going after him after all in their quest for evidence they might hear watching the sunday shows here on our t.v. or else of how would several of the shows and guests end up interrogated about the weekly leaks founder in this week's episode features one of them that's jeremy zimmerman an internet freedom advocate who's based in friends at the airport traveling from the united states to friends he was stopped by self identified

f.b.i. agents and questioned about julian assange and the weekly leaks website 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 surveillance here is a bit of it don't miss the whole thing here and r.t. running all day know that suspect technology enables those also variants of every communication then there is do do the other side of that coin is what we do with it we could admit that for which we go to tactical one there are some indeed some legitimate use investigators investigating them but goes nowhere but goes 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 of the citizens can have over the use of those technologies and this is

a policy should so there was jeremy and a bit earlier internet 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 us funch he says he was later followed and approached by three u.s. officials in washington the latest night and asked to become an informer sounds like something from the moon. the 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 if now the duke a court has authorized 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 a 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. likely you know you can watch the latest edition of julian assange he's uncompromising if you program in full on this channel next hour. it's a partnership widely seen as a counterbalance to the influence of the u.s. russian president vladimir putin's high profile visit to china is expected to foster already strong ties aside from all of us economic interests the neighbors also see eye to eye on major international disputes such as the syrian conflict one also sharing concerns over u.s.

expansion in the asia pacific region artie's a luxury jet skis in beijing for us. it is the first state visit to put in as russia's president to china something that each president of any country can do only once during his presidential term definitely many experts have already been saying that the fact that. china as one of his first destinations to becoming russia's president for the third time means that russia and china will continue to be very strong strategic partners the main focus of the media and everyone here was at the for invective the relations between beijing and moscow and certainly the two leaders have reconfirmed that they have unified stances on most of the issues they touched upon the growing concerns in the asian pacific region namely certainly the growing a military presence of the united states here and that's where a lot even if we don't know who said that they have a unified stance as well as mentioning the events in north africa and in the middle

east basically we do understand as well that russia and china have a unified position on the syrian conflict and that is not going to change according to both leaders very close cooperation between china and russia has certainly gaining some concerns in the west in the united states particularly because china is growing stronger every year both economically and militarily so definitely this is raising some concerns but now we have confirmed from the both leaders that this cooperation will not die down and will only increase and only strengthen in the years to come. our correspondent in beijing will be more later this hour about china as well when a former i.m.f. economist tells us how beijing's monetary muscles helping it punch its weight against the u.s. these days. if united states gets into so much economic trouble right that it will have to borrow money and if only china has the money to provide the u.s. china might say well we don't like your military presence in the pacific your naval

presence and you have to you know get rid of that sort of economic power can always be leveraged for political and foreign policy objectives. the u.s. and its allies are preparing for a serious transition of power the white house says president assad handing control to the opposition will help bring an end to the fifteen months of bloodshed a number of western and arab states have long been pushing for regime change while assad's maintained his nation's real war comes from outside meantime reports of a merge suggesting britain is planning to set up camps in syria where troops and agents will help the rebels fight against the government militias quote because cheryl believes that would only make matters worse. i think it will actually increase the likelihood of revenge killings kind of sectarian tension along mixed areas where. revenge operations will 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 a. 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 you watching r.t. from moscow still to come with me kevin though in courting the caucasus. now there's a resurgence of russian influence in the region it's only natural that americans want to do something in return hillary clinton promises to boost american military support for georgia during a visit there we bring you expert analysis on what might be washington's ultimate goal plus painting by numbers we tell you what portion of all shouldn't work turn out to be fake and why most collectors conder their money choose to keep quiet

about it. next though punishments for violations during public rallies could get tougher here in russia a draft bills getting social and political groups fired let's get the details and show it for multispeed all of it is outside russia's parliament the duma in central moscow peter hi there tell us a bit more about what's being planned there and why it's being brought in them. well the ruling united russia party proposed these changes to the law that would see an increase the fines against those people taking part or organizing unsanctioned protests that's being debated at the moment just behind me in the state duma building as it sounds at the minutes of your coat taking part in an unsanctioned protest you could face a fine of around sixty euro full fifteen days in prison now should this proposal go through we could see those fines and rice sharply to as much as seven thousand euro for those people who will open eyes take part in these unsanctioned protests

now this has caused a storm amongst opposition political parties as well as online in the blogosphere the actually during the debate that's ongoing some opposition party has been trying to drag out the debate as long as possible to try and put off any time at this this small could be adopted by those who are in favor of these changes to the law we're talking really about the ruling united russia party here defended by saying it brings russia into line with the rest of europe though if you look elsewhere in what type of fines and what type of sentences can come into into play take from for example where if you take part in all through ice demonstration of protest and you wear a mosque or anything that would cover your face that hot try and hide your identity you could face a fine of forty five thousand euro close up history years in prison in switzerland not fine could go as high as seventy five thousand euro so they're defending this

by saying well that puts it back in line with the the rest of europe the reason the united russia has deemed that these changes could will need to be made a comes off the back of the wave of antti government protests that we've seen really since december of last year when the parliamentary elections there were held note for the majority of these protests of being a peaceful affairs however in spring of this. yeah we saw them to nasty and we had seen some protesters attacking police officers a number of police officers were injured during those demonstrations and lawmakers saying that these changes need to be made in order to make sure that the rushes cities in the streets of russian cities are safe and those trying to split off to try to keep those streets safe and kept safe themselves ok peter over things bring us up to date they appreciated. cairo's bracing for a million strong demonstration in tahrir square with revolutionary forces calling for the execution of ousted president hosni mubarak is the most they're expected to

use the rally to score points for their presidential candidate who's up against mubarak's last prime minister in the run off now is out his term bond reports next the protest mood shows no sign of abating and could see egypt slide back into anarchy. revolution renewed but these protesters never expected to be back in time risk where just a year after they ousted their dictatorial president hosni mubarak he's now serving a life sentence but after thirty years in power talking the system has built is proving to be an even harder task than talking the man everything is like could lapsing from at all just economy so this gave me the impression is that probably be one will not you know rise again they are already exhausted or too exhausted to go to the square and protest again but it's really impressive they went again and the op now protesting dalia has been involved with egypt's revolution from the beginning she works to monitor civil and political developments in the country or lack of them many egyptians are dismayed that little if anything has changed under

the ruling supremum council of the armed forces or skaf in fact with either. care. is continuing mubarak's regime and offering only very minimal sessions to that evolution whenever he has to. these demonstrations erupted after the notorious court decision that not only spared mubarak's life but acquitted his sons and six former security officials protesters say the second insult is the heavily criticized presidential runoff election a straight choice between the old guard in the form of an ex mubarak man and the religiously conservative muslim brotherhood people did not go to squares and streets again to protest those two big punches in the face more than they think this is their last chance to win beggs their country others believe more time

is needed even though it may be a bumpy ride i don't think your politically stable in the next four years we are now in a surgical operations way in which you would see things more poorly with things but i think it would be more stable and. successful but until then the revolutionaries plan to fight on which brings us back to real. protestors have described their renewed revolution to me rather like a train but it term and not to have it the rails either by religious hardliners or by the regime but they're equally desperate to stop it running out of steam lest egypt go off on the wrong track altogether tom watson r.t. to africa square cairo. the u.s. is posting its military support for the caucasus country of georgia in the pledge came as secretary of state hillary clinton visits the nation which is eyeing nato

membership global risk advisor daniel wagner believes america's got a wider agenda that stretches beyond georgia's borders. secretary of state clinton is looking to it she in the caucasus what america's trying to achieve more overall around the world and that is to continue to enhance its image and its ability to influence what's going on in the region the caucasus have been largely ignored by america for a great deal of time and now that there's a resurgence of russian influence in the region it's only natural that america would want to do something in return there are pockets of conflict in the region that concern the united states and it concerns of course other regional powers but let's not forget where the caucasus is located it's in russia's backyard it's only natural that russia's historical relationship with the region and the various countries would be superior to that of america certainly at the present time mrs clinton's biggest influence is likely to occur in georgia let's not forget that

georgia has had a historically close relationship with the united states for a number of years now and that it was particularly close during the bush era georgia certainly seems to want to be heading in the direction of nato and i think that she is likely to see the most success and the most influence there to check and we've got online food out dull cold was plenty to discover there of course ten is for tweeting a kuwaiti man's throat. for insulting the prophet mohammed on twitter and got his story that if you'd like to take a look spin up also one exclusively to us as well i website why random school drug screenings in the u.s. are dangerous checkered to these why you should care whether. you know his secret laboratory in the kirby was able to build the world's most sophisticated robot which will unfortunately doesn't give

a long four day special bank holiday in great britain and the people there letting their heads a little bit partying waving the union flags showing the best of british. now they say a picture is worth a thousand words and in the art world you're also taking millions of dollars to pay for said treasures as well of course however experts no claim a free heart for all work sold today is scary a fake laura smith caught up with one russian collector who is happy to share the forgeries he was tricked into buying. very important works of art to go under the hammer every day in london's west end but how can our lovers be sure of what they're buying according to scotland yard a staggering fifty percent of all art sold is fact what we're looking at these days is a very considerable increase in faking of twentieth century art i've seen

a number of provincial auction houses and others. so fix. a considerable scale and i think it's something that we all accept a lot of forgeries are also sold on websites but it's not just internet buyers who can be taken in by the fall which is brush the latest auction house to come into the spotlight with christie's which is involved in a high court battle with russian tycoon victim back salzburg he paid more than two and a half million dollars for a painting he thought was by prominent russian artist buddies. only to 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 made lemonade eager to see

a course 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 dark of our money where a shame to talk of it i'm going to be the first who says don't be ashamed of showing us because we believe you people who know when we're down now the time has passed and we realize we made a mistake and it's important to publicize the mistake because the quantity of russian figs is such that it discredits national art. with your coffee showing each of his pictures a long sight to take with city tickets one attesting the painting is genuine and one proving it's all just sometimes they're even signed by the same person and his collection is just the tip of the iceberg i think there's going to be a lot more this recently quite high profile prosecutions in the u.k.

and germany of so-called master forgeries and then those case of the field is that some excellent fakes from hundreds of excellent fakes have been placed on the market and maybe that's just a very small part of it how croft's message is clear it doesn't matter whether you're buying off the internet or as a reputable auction house buyer beware. r.t. . twenty three minutes past six in the evening moscow time daniels in the business journalist talking silly italy guess really nice people are paying their taxes i was there a couple weeks ago and it was that it was the talk of all the people in one little village there about how the authorities a client an ordinary people that maybe aren't paying their taxes absolutely it's the richest people you are going to tell me in a minute i think setting a bad example we've got absolutely the boss of the world's oldest bank is on trial now for corporate tax fraud but it's news just in its alleged while he headed rival unicredit deprive all thora teams of hundreds of millions of europe through
