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 billions of every communication then there is do do the other side of that coin is what we do with it and 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 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 don't 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 unprotected sex that they're looking into 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 in less than an hour. those of egyptians in cairo he'll square right now calling for the execution of ousted president hosni mubarak revolution forces are pledging a million strong demonstration egypt's islam is expected to use the religious school points of for their presidential candidate who's up against mubarak's last prime minister in the runoff parties tom botton is in tahrir square. thousands of protesters have converged here to risk where in the center of cairo you can hear the sounds of protests reverberating around the square around me

a real feeling of anger in the streets tonight and it's primarily focused around the verdict in the mubarak trial hosni mubarak egypt's former president is now going to spend the rest of his life in prison it seems unless the protesters get their way at least some of them wanting to do a bit more of a back than that and to give him the death penalty and what really set them off was six of his senior security officials who were acquitted of involvement in the deaths of hundreds of protesters in egypt revolution last year this also added tension around these protests because very shortly egypt will enter the second round of its presidential elections but many people here expressing a lot of frustration they see the choice in those elections as being really no choice at all one candidate mohammed morsi is from the muslim brotherhood he's been

trying to garner support here at the protests going around the crowds saying that if he was elected president he would drag mubarak back to trial and try and help in execute it which has struck a chord with some of the protesters however he has received criticism from a wide wide number of groups as well they see the muslim brotherhood as religiously conservative and warn that they may try and hijack this revolution the other half of it shafique is mubarak's last prime minister and a former air force officer the protesters just as angry about him they say that he could well be or should well be darker standing in the presidential elections but his links to the old regime are simply. to close and that he's going to have a lot of convincing to do to try and make people believe that he's not in with the old regime and the military council that ruling out the moment this

atmosphere has brought people out not just here in the capital but all over egypt this was intended to be a million man march tonight we're not sure whether a million of have turned out it doesn't seem that it's that many but it certainly is a huge protest and a real real ignition of that spirit of protest against what is seen as very little change compared to what was wanted for last year's revolution. 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 fifteen months of bloodshed a number of western and arab states have long been pushing for regime change a list that has maintained his nation's real war comes from outside meanwhile repos of the most unjust in britain is planning to set up camps in syria where troops and agents will help the rebels fights i think it's the government middle east expert

tariq i leave that means foreign powers are largely responsible for the country's die situation. when the americans 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 have 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 end game situation where the united states has decided to remove this regime and will

use everything in a spot to do so. with our teens still to come this hour pick up trouble sell out the russian parliament is a marathon session to push through a new pill to come protest by nations all the details when they take in the program . plus a painting by numbers only tell just how much of auction sold artworks turned out to be fakes and why most collectors conned out of their money choose to keep quiet . that'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 and the neighbors also see eye to eye on major international disputes such as the syrian conflict while also showing concerns over a u.s. expansion in the asia pacific region alexey had assessed he is 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 was even approaching chose china as one of his first destinations after becoming russia's president for the third time means that russia and china will continue to be very strong strategic partners the main focus among all the media and everyone here was 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. 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 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 at least sixteen terrorists have been killed in a gun battle in the on me and a radical islamist sect in the north of nigeria not authority said three police officers also been shot date the ministry operation has been carried out interest sponsor of the suicide car bomb attack on sunday which left fifteen killed and dozens more wounded.

now in other stories as number two militant leader has been killed in a drone strike in pakistan's northwest tribal region according to american officials a million dollars bounty was placed on a libby a high profile al qaeda terrorist who once escaped from a top security u.s. military prison and pakistan earlier condemned a u.s. drone attack to declaring them against international law and the country's sovereignty. palestinians have been injured in clashes with israeli forces in ramallah marking the forty fifth anniversary of israel's occupation of the west bank and gaza israeli soldiers used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the crowds after some protesters threw stones the day commemorates the six day war with israel that ended with the defeat of a five arab army in one thousand sixty seven. around one thousand people rallied

outside ukraine's parliament where a new language no one in the initial majority if passed it will officially allow russian to be used in some regions opponents of the bill are mainly nationalistic team to keep ukrainian as the only official language russian speaking citizens and make up around a half of ukraine's population. russia's a state duma has approved a new law that ramps up fines one hundred fifty times for participating organizing unsanctioned protest the final sitting made a new record lasting eleven hours alone now has to be passed by upper house of the russian parliament and there's artie's peter oliver says 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 the penalties put in place for those caught 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 under a just a demonstration you would face a fine of around sixty euro or 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 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'll be discussed further before becoming nor now those defending this these proposed changes to the law 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 history 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 and being held in conducted in a peaceful manner however this spring we saw things turned a little bit nasty we 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 me more than doing so. 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 russia's cities safe would be safe themselves while they're doing so. they say a picture is worth a thousand words and in the world it takes millions of dollars to pay for said treasures however experts now claim roughly half of all work sold today off fake artie's laura smith caught up with one russian collector who's happy to say the forgeries he was tricked into buying. 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 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. so fakes. a considerable scale and i think it's something that we we will accept a lot of forgeries that will say sold on websites but it's not just internet by is he could be taken in by default 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. he paid more than two and a half million dollars for a painting he thought was by prominent russian artist buddies cousteau is yet to find out later that it appears to have been signed for several years after death 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 by a 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 the shame to talk of is i'm trying to be the first who says don't be ashamed of showing us because we believe you people who no one would doubt we'd move 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 with this is such that it does. great its national art. which you call for showing each of his pictures alongside two different cities because one attesting the painting is genuine and one prove that it's forged 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 forgery. and 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 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. 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 thirst for where israel claims that it's super ready to attack iran any minute go to our home to find out how soon to run should expect a strike. a royal fees during a crisis while millions of britain celebrate queen elizabeth's diamond jubilee some find it hard to get festive jump cuts and financial crisis more on that on line.

and coming up next hour to. talk to the indian economist windows subramanian about the contrasts in economic agendas in the u.s. china and russia china relations coming up. i'm sitting down with arvind subramanian 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 dominance. chinese leader. is here really dominating i mean many in the u.s. would say that the u.s. is still the richest country in the wall that is the most powerful economy at the moment china's g.d.p. for example is smaller than that of the united states. but if you measure it in terms of power it's as big as the united states second china is the world's largest trade. tree china is a big creditor it finances the u.s. and the u.s. is a debtor so it's this combination of the size of the economy the facts a big trader and the fact that it's a creditor confers a lot of power today and over the next ten fifteen years all these numbers are

going to be in china's favor so the 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. . that combination is what is making china very dominant let me give you one example one example so take the fact that china finances the u.s. right or to so much cash three point three trillion dollars worth of cash if europe gets into trouble well it 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 the power or that ability it can always exercise power what could 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. if you take it on 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 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 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 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 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 your 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 another that's a 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 broadly 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 some would say that if you have 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 debt 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. frankly border was. don't have power creditors call the shots and at that stage we know europe. weakening 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 if you don't do these things we don't give you the 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 the changes in the international institutions thank you.
