his interview with mr arsalan 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 some sites technology enables us to do those surveillance of every communication then there is do we 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 them but goes in there were so bad guys and so on may need under the supervision of the judicial authorities to be able to use. such tools but the question is where to drill 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 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 assange which he says he was later followed and approached by three u.s. officials in washington late at night and asked to become an informer 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 unprotected sex but his supporters are saying it's not a songes i'm pretty. they're looking into it but rather

a way to getting to sweden where it would be arguably easier to hand it 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 julius orange. you can watch the latest edition of julian assange just uncompromising interview series in full here on r t next how. the u.s. and its allies are preparing for syria's transition of power the white house says president assad handing control to the opposition will help bring an end to fifteen months of bloodshed a number of western and arab states have long been pushing for change while assad has maintained his nation's a real war comes from outside meanwhile reports have emerged suggesting bridgend planning to set up camps in syria which troops and agents will help the rebels fight against the government middle east expert tariq ali believes foreign policies are largely responsible for the country's daya situation. when the americans
6:05 pm
are vassal states like group some talk about transition what they're effectively mean is regime change that is what they did in libya with dire consequences as we can see in that country today in syria the plan to bring both sides to the table and have a negotiated settlement is obviously the best way to move forward but the united states and britain and their other red lights are absolutely no pressure on the other side to come to the negotiate negotiating table and start a process of storms so it would appear to me that what we now have is an endgame situation where the united states has decided to remove this regime and will use everything in a spot to do so. you know with r.t.

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 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
6:08 pm
to both leaders of 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. now a look at some other stories making headlines around the world eight people have been killed and dozens wounded in clashes on the a main and as ever john border in the last two days both sides accuse each other of border violation and breaching in one thousand nine hundred four ceasefire agreement u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton who is visiting the region denounced the incidents calling for calm to prevent a broader regional conflict tens of thousands have died in the twenty year war between the two countries over the disputed territory of now.

6:11 pm
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 do a whipped up a storm amongst opposition here in russia not just the politicians but on line in the blogosphere many people writing about what they saw as draconian changes to the law that were being put forward with 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 of 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
6:12 pm
a fine of up to forty five thousand euro as well as of history years in prison in switzerland not flying can get as high as seventy five thousand euro now these changes to the law were put in place following a wave of unsee 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 and being held in conducted in a peaceful manner however this spring we saw things turned a little bit nasty we've seen protesters clashing with police. so a 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 the movement doing so and. put a stop to the violent clashes and try to make sure that those violent clashes that we have seen wouldn't happen again and those people trying to make the streets of
6:13 pm
russian cities safe would be safe themselves while they're doing so. they say a picture is worth a thousand words and in the world in takes millions of dollars to pay full set treasures however experts now claim rafi hof of all works sold today a fake r.t.s. 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 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 are sold is 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.
6:14 pm
a considerable scale and i think it's something that we we will accept a lot of forgeries that will say sold websites but it's not just internet by is he could be taken in by the full which is the latest auction house to come into the spotlight with christie's which is involved in a high court battle with russian tycoon victim axel berg 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 course but another boy of russian arms when confronted with lemons make lemonade eager to see a court discovered his art collection meant to fund his retirement was mostly forgeries now he's displaying the paintings as
6:15 pm
a warning to others. when we have money where ashamed to talk of it i'm trying to be the first to says don't be ashamed of showing us because we believe you are who no one would down we've moved now that time has passed and we realize we made a mistake and it's important to publicize the mistake of the world because the quantity of russian figs with this is such. that it discredits national art. showing each year is a long sight to take with certificates one the testing the painting is genuine and one proving it's all watched sometimes they're even signed by the same person and his collection is just the tip of the iceberg there's going to be a lot more this could be quite high profile prosecutions in the u.k. and germany of so-called master forger's and the field is that some excellent
6:16 pm
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 a reputable auction house buyer beware. thousands of egyptians are in cairo's tahrir square right now calling for the execution of us of president hosni mubarak or of issue forces are pledging a million strong demonstration of the islamists expected to use the relative score points for their presidential candidate who's up against mubarak's last prime minister in the run up party's time barton is into. thousands of protesters have surged into tough wrists where in the center of cairo they are furious about a court decision about former president hosni mubarak he has been given a life sentence many of them think it should have been cautious and that the trial
6:17 pm
was a product of the old regime the situation below me which is fraught with the beat of drums and the chants of protestors is even more tense because of the soon to arrive second round of egypt's presidential election and people here are doubling 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 try to put my 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 who is mubarak's last prime minister has warned that the muslim brotherhood would take egypt back to the dark ages many people though do not trust
6:18 pm
him seeing him as part of the old regime. don't forget all our coverage and more is waiting for you at our t. dot com here's a taste of what you can find on the web wall israel claims its super ready to attack iran any minute. to find out how soon to run should expect to strike. a royal featuring a crisis while millions of britons are celebrates queen elizabeth's diamond jubilee some find it hard to get best to i mean job cuts and financial crisis more on that online. coming up next talks to vendors subramanian who's a senior fellow at the center for global development he shares his predictions for the not too distant future about who's going to be holding the reins of power coming up next after the headlines.
6:19 pm
i'm sitting down with our. 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.
6:20 pm
chinese leader. is a really dominating. me at the moment china's g.d.p. for example is. united states. if you measure. its. second china. trade. treaty china is a big. it finances the u.s. and the. size of the economy the fact trader and the fact that it's a creditor. today. in china so. china is 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.
6:21 pm
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 oh no it happened 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 the power or that ability it can always exercise power what could 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.
6:22 pm
. things would be so much easier but the fact that china has an independent view on north korea makes chinese american dealings with north 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 only china has the money to provide the u.s. china might say well we don't like your military presence in the pacific you're naval presence and you have to you know get rid of that sort economic power can always be leveraged for political and foreign policy objectives the good things that one of the reasons not to get for kind of anxious about this is that it is a mutually dependent relationship you know so one country doesn't want to inflict. too much damage or 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
6:23 pm
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 the 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 another and that's a good point but you know they can be two views on this right one view is that 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
6:24 pm
one big good guy maybe it's better than having multiple guys who kind of conduct 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 that crisis in your own countries and you have the euro zone 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 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 will need money from the outside. you know.
6:25 pm
needs money from the outside. to provide it. for you know changing the system he would have more power to. give you money so when you become weak it's. actually galvanise change. to get.
6:26 pm
something. cheap labor. legally legally. every morning to go to work and pay our bills only half of. the american dream and if you want the american dream. here's one. i watch and they run down my property and somehow this noise. mean that
6:27 pm

darkest secrets underlying the world's financial headlines. max kaiser this is the kaiser report here in london getting ready for the summer olympics and the austerity pole vaulting competition they have to keep making the pole shorter and shorter which means more gold medals which means more bailouts oh my god george osborne must be in charge of that stays here well max actually speaking of the olympics there's a lot of fear mongering about the olympics and there could be all sorts of attacks that's why we have missiles on the top of all these apartment buildings out here but this is also the center of the fear mongering about europe and particularly directed at the greeks right now there's also a horror stories about what will happen if.
