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 those also that in some 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 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 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's 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 it but rather

a way to get into 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. you can watch the latest edition of julian assange uncompromising interview serious in full here are now on t.v. and less than half an hour. flight in munich putin says on his high profile visit to beijing as russia and china reinforce the already strong ties earlier the neighbors confirm they saw eye to eye on major foreign policy issues such as the syrian crisis. ski has his fingers on the pulse of the president's state visit. we have a very busy day ahead of us were understand. a state visit to china his first state visit as russia's president will be transforming into the summit of the shanghai cooperation organization the organization which has celebrated its ten year

anniversary last year and definitely all sides all countries involved in this organization have been noting that the corporation has been very successful especially in this security field also we expecting very many important meetings on the sidelines of the summit which was the last thing for two days for today and tomorrow thursday here in beijing and during which we are expecting very important and crucial meetings between. the presidents of afghanistan and iran and certainly this summit comes just a day after the start of official state visit to china. during which these sites of managed to assign very many you very important agreements and listing economic ties and military ties and definitely the most important thing that the countries beijing and moscow have managed to exchange their views on many different global policy issues and reported that they have been seeing eye to eye on all those issues in particular certainly the growing military strength of the united states

in the asian pacific region something which greatly concerns china russia is agreeing with beijing on that matter and certainly the developments in the middle east even if we didn't mention did that russia and china are seeing eye to eye on the syrian conflict and as we know china and russia have been we have all been saying about finance peace plan that must be implemented as the only solution peaceful solution to the growing syrian conflict now a definitely such a strong relations between beijing and moscow have been causing some concerns in the west primarily because china is a growing developing developing state with its economy and military being stronger every year and certainly the corporations such very strong corporate. between russia and china is concerning many in the west but as far as we understood from the speeches by both the chinese and russian leaders. to put it respectively this cooperation will only strengthen it will not die down and that's the way it's going

to stay for the next three years we are following certainly all the interesting developments during here the summit and the next two days here and we'll be bringing all the latest information to our viewers as soon as we get it. i spoke earlier on this search egypt partners meeting with the rake off and international affairs commentator and manager of stop nato in chicago he says that shanghai cooperation organization will become an economic force to be taken seriously it is a useful economic security cultural and that's another very good thing needs to be explored for the cultural foundations of the o.c. hope it's a different model of a regional and ultimately international sphere that is one that does not rely on military force or undue charts or in pressure or in prostitution but around there on cooperation. complementing the each country complementing the strength of the other and it has the potential for suggesting to the world something you know the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov was quoted yesterday saying international

affairs are breached of turning for any mention the economic crisis of the past four years which emanated from and was generated by the world so far certainly suggesting it's time for a new model not only of security but of economics of politics of international relations with all the storms. tens of thousands of egyptians rallied in cairo and choose day as the round of clock demonstrations throughout the country went into the fourth night and people are calling for retrial of ousted president hosni mubarak and his former security officials egypt's islamists are expected to use their rally to school points for their presidential candidate who's up against mubarak's last prime minister in the run up to tom barton who was into the square. thousands of protesters have converged here to race square 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's 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 acts 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 an executed 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 bit 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 barred for 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's reeling at the moment this

atmosphere has brought people out not just here in the capital but all over agent this was intended to be a million man march tonight we're not sure whether a million of it turned out it doesn't seem today 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 the last years revolution. as a presidential election runoff approaches amid mass protests more people are saying that egypt should not hold an election until it has a new constitution political groups and the military council arguing over who is going to write the document dr kahn hallinan contributing editor for foreign policy in focus done all says the ruling generals are building their own agenda to hold on to power in the country if your peak is removed then of course you have no choice but that the military council stays in power so i do think that the military

has set things up in such a way that they will continue as a major force how much of a major force i think it depends on those people who are out there in the squares and what finally comes out of this alexion keep in mind the still instructions did not start over the question of democracy they started over a question of bread of unemployment poverty except for a so this is not just about roses this is about bread and that has not gone away. you with our tease still to come this kick up trouble shell out cash of the russian parliament finishes the american session to push through a new bill to curb the protests violations and all the details later in the program . plus a painting by numbers that would tell you just how much of auction soledad words turn out to be fakes and why most collectors conned out of their money choose to

buy it. 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 and has maintained his nation's real war comes up from site meanwhile reports have been religious suggesting britain is planning to set up camps in syria where troops and agents will help the rebels fight against the government middle east expert. believes the foreign powers are largely responsible for the country's dire situation. when the americans bear 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 allies 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 endgame situation where the united states has decided to remove this regime and will use everything in a spot to do so don't forget all our coverage and more is waiting for you at r.t. dot com here's a taste of what you can find on the web first cell phone war israel claims its super ready to attack the land any minute go to our t.v. dot com to find out how soon to run should expect to strike. a royal fees during a crisis while millions of britons are celebrate queen elizabeth's diamond jubilee

some find it hard to get festive on the job the financial crisis more on that on line. russia's state duma has approved a new law that ramps up fines one hundred fifty times for participating organizing un sanctioned protests the final setting made a new record lasting eleven i was the law and now has to be passed by the upper house of the russian parliament. brings us the background to the high debate to 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 but rallies and demonstrations in russia know 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 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'll be discussed further before becoming lord 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 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 on t. 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 conducted in a peaceful manner however this spring we saw things turned a little bit nasty we've seen protesters clashing with police. 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 from doing so in trying to stop the violent clashes and try to make sure that those body 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. now

a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world in the north of nigeria at least sixteen terrorists have been killed in a fire between the army and the radical islam is said to boko haram authorities confirm that reproduce offices died in the gunfight the anti terror operation was carried out in response to the suicide car bomb attack on sunday which f. fifteen dead and dozens wounded. al qaeda as number two militant 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 high profile al qaeda terrorist who once escaped from a top security u.s. military prison i can stand condemned u.s. drone attacks saying they're against international law and violations of the country's sovereignty. nine palestinians have been injured in clashes with israeli forces in ramallah marking the forty fifth anniversary of israel's

i'm sitting down with arvind subramanian leading economist fellow at the peterson institute for international economics and the center for global development his book is called eclipse living in the shadow of china's economic dominance and here you say president obama vowing that chinese leader. is

a really dominating i mean many in the u.s. would say that the u.s. is still the richest country in the war 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 purchasing power it's as big as the united states second china is already the world's largest trading. 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 the big trader and the fact that it's a creditor confers on a lot of power today and over the next ten fifteen years all these numbers are going to go 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. 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 oh no it happened which country in the world has the ability to bailout your 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 well 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 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 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 thing one of the reasons not to get over 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. point but you know they can be two views on the straight one view was 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 so some would say that if you have

one big good guy maybe it's better than having multiple guys who kind of conduct. the i.m.f.'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 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 but 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 the border was. don't have power. called the shots and at that stage with europe starts 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 and changes in the international institutions thank you. sometimes you see a story and it seems so for you think you understand it and then. you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is. welcome to the big picture.

of. the good speech.

i mean. the south. the little. i've. i've. seen.
