icelandic digital freedom society he too was stopped at the airport and questioned by u.s. officials about julian assange which he says he was later followed and approached by three u.s. officials in washington the latest night and asked to become an informer it sounds like something from the 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 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
5:04 pm
unprotected sex but his supporters are saying it's not a song just 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. you can watch the latest edition of julian assange his upcoming interview series intro here on r.t. it less than half an hour. well it's a partnership widely seen as a counterbalance to the influence of the u.s. president vladimir putin's high profile visit to china is expected to foster already strong ties aside from obvious economic interests the neighbors also see eye to eye on major international disputes such as the syrian conflict while also sharing concerns over u.s. expansion in the asia pacific alexia's have skis in beijing for archie. it is the
5:05 pm
first state visit to britain 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 on the growing concerns in the asian pacific region namely certainly the growing military presence of the united states here and that's where a lot even if we don't know who both 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
5:06 pm
a unified position on the syrian conflict and that is not going to change according to both leaders all this 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. here with r t still to come this hour kick up trouble sellout counts the russian parliament finishes the marathon session to push through a new build her protest violations all the details later in the program. plus a painting by numbers tell you just how much of auction sold artworks turn out to be fake and why most collectors out of their money choose to keep quiet.

5:08 pm
a negotiated settlement is obviously the best way to move forward but the united states and britain and their other allies have poured absolutely no pressure on the other site to come to the negotiating negotiating table and start a process of talks so it would appear to me that what we now have is an end game situation where the united states has decided to remove this regime and will use everything in a spot to do so. now look at some other stories making headlines around the world eight people have been killed and dozens wounded in clashes on the are many and i'm sure by one border in the last two days both sides accuse each other of border violations breaching in one thousand let's get you the right pictures that we have of armenia there we go since one thousand nine hundred ninety four cease fire

5:11 pm
of the russian part of the mint parties peter all over brings us the background to the highly debated proposal. the state duma approved the changes to the law that were put forward by the ruling party united russia now this would see stiff penalties put in place for those courts taking part in un sanctions rallies or demonstrations in russia now the way it works before this law was if you were caught taking part in an unsanctioned on registered demonstration you would face a fine of around sixty euro all fifteen days in a jail cell this new chase these changes to the law would see those fines drastically up to seven thousand a year oh no these proposals to a whipped up a storm amongst opposition here in russia not just the politicians but online in the blogosphere many people writing about what they saw as draconian changes to the
5:12 pm
law that were being put forward by the opposition politicians trying to drag out the debate in the state duma to see if they could lead to late this decision it's no gone through to the upper house of the russian parliament where it will be discussed further before becoming nor now those defending this these proposed changes to the law that defended it by saying well this just brings russia into line with the rest of its european neighbors in france for example if you take part in an unsanctioned demonstration and you're wearing a mosque or anything that could obscure a part of your face you could face a fine of up to forty five thousand euro as well as of this three years in prison in switzerland not find can get as high as seventy five thousand euro now these changes to the law were put in place following a wave of unseat government protests that we've seen here in moscow as well as in other cities around russia following really the the parliamentary elections that were held in december of last year now on the holos demonstrations of being held in
5:13 pm
conducted in a peaceful manner however this spring we saw things turned a little bit nasty we've seen protesters clashing with police. say a as number of police officers actually being injured in those clashes and the lawmakers deciding that putting in place stiffer penalties for those taking part in the un sanctioned demonstrations would deter me more from doing so and try and put a stop to the violent clashes and try to make sure that those bonding clashes that we have seen wouldn't happen again and those people trying to make the streets of russia's cities safe would be safe themselves while doing so. they say a picture is worth a thousand words and in the art world it takes millions of dollars to pay for said treasures however experts now claim roughly half of all work sell today are fake laura smith caught up with one russian collector who's happy to share the forgeries he was tricked into by. very important works of art go under the hammer
5:14 pm
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 all 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 will accept a lot of forgeries are also sold on websites but it's not just internet by is he could be taken in by the food just 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 solberg he paid more than two and a half million dollars for a painting he thought was by prominent russian artist buddies. and find out later
5:15 pm
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 money where a shame to talk of it's because i'm trying to be the first who says don't be ashamed of showing us because we believe you 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 discredits national. lets you
5:16 pm
call for showing each of his speeches alongside two different cities because one attesting the painting is genuine and one proving it scorched sometimes that even signed by the same person and his collection is just the tip of the iceberg there's going to be a lot more of this to be misled quite high profile prosecutions in the u.k. on the germany of so called must a forger's and then those cases of the fielders 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 nora smith. now don't forget all of our coverage and more is waiting for you at our teens dot com here's a taste of what you can find on the web search for war israel claims its super

5:18 pm
about former president hosni mubarak he has been given a life sentence many of them think it should have been harsh and that the child was a product of the old regime the situation below me which is fraught with a breach of drums and the chants of protesters is even more tense because of the soon to arrive second round of egypt's presidential election and people here are doubly angry because they say there's no real choice between the two candidates one of the candidates is the muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi he has told the protest camp in an attempt to try and gain support from them and mohamed morsi has said that if he was elected president he would strike back back on trial and have been executed many people though are scared. that the muslim brotherhood may hijack their revolution and bring in their own religious conservatism the other candidate

5:20 pm
i'm sitting down with. a leading economist fellow at the peterson institute for international economics and the center for global development. at clips living in the shadow of china's economic. leader. it's a really dominating i mean many in the. economy at the moment china. for example is. united states. if you measure. its biggest united states. china. trade. treaty china. the u.s. and the. combination of the size of the economy the fact trader and the
5:21 pm
fact that it's a credit to. a lot of power today and over the next ten fifteen years. both are going to go all in china's favor so the china's going to become an even bigger economy than the u.s. and even bigger treated in the u.s. and continue to be you know financing the u.s. so that combination is what is making china very dominant let me give you one example one example so take the fact that china you know finances the u.s. right or to so much cash three point three trillion dollars worth of cash if europe gets into trouble it which would happen which country in the world has the ability to be allowed to your the united states china because this three trillion dollars and when it has that power or that ability it can always exercise power what could
5:22 pm
it be political ramifications that as far as crucial foreign policy issues for example over syria will the u.s. pay more attention to what china thinks about certain issues well if you take you down for example i think it's you know the u.s. wants china to be on its site and you know if china were to sit take north korea for example you know it's a great example you know if china were on the side of the u.s. . things would be so much easier but but the fact that china has an independent view on north korea makes chinese american dealings with korea that much more difficult in fact in my book i begin my book with a kind of fantasy scenario where i say that you know ten years from now if the united states gets into so much economic trouble right that it will have to borrow money and if 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 so economic power can always be
5:23 pm
leveraged for political and foreign policy objectives the group thinks that one of the reasons not to get all four kind of anxious about this is that it is a mutually do. you know so one country doesn't want to inflict too much damage on the other because it backfires on yourself but that being said there are areas where you know some countries you know china has more power and it could use that too and i mean like for example as i said you're on north korea or iran or you know the fact it's just so much financial power and economic power can always be used for political ends but isn't that a good thing in a sense that there it restores some kind of balance when there is not just one kid on the block ruling everything but there is a kid consulting with everyone else because it is dependent on others and that's a good point but you know they can be two views on this right one view was that
5:24 pm
after world war two the u.s. was able to determine how the global economic system would function right and broccoli it had a liberal view you know there should be more free flow of goods and services and so on which everyone benefited from and the country that benefited most from that was china you know the fact that markets were open so some would say that if you have one big good guy maybe it's better than having multiple guys who kind of kind of relating to the i.m.f. it's traditionally been dominated by europe and the united states it was set up that way and he here you have this massive debt crisis in years on countries and you have the eurozone countries asking nine years on countries to contribute more resources to the i.m.f. to help them out do you think this current crisis could change the way the i.m.f. works sort of shift the centers of power it's a very good question i think to some extent it's happening already it's happening
5:25 pm
already because you know the formal voting is still very much biased as you said in favor of europe and united states but the more the more europe gets into trouble. the more it would need money from the outside you know. at that stage. and it needs money from the outside and if. you have the money to provide it. for you know changing the system they will have more power. give you money so when you become weak you know it's inevitable that power shifts away from you and that's what the european crisis is actually galvanizing changes in the international institutions thank you.
5:27 pm
upscale it was just like you know society ok then they started showing up what happened was my company decided i could get cheap labor and they got rid of. most illegal legally we have to get up every morning we have to go to work and you know we have to pay our bills and we have to do it and that's just the american dream and if you want the american dream you have to go by the last i figure. here's one of the major trails into the united states. i watch and they run run down my property and about this noise. mean that cockroaches from coming over the wire is protecting the country i'm the kind of guy who doesn't mindedness
