well. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got this huge earth covered. talk about you're watching our t.v. these are the top stories a nervous wait for join us on chocolate doorways up the death threat hanging over the world's number one whistleblower if you have actually transferred to the u.s. before delivering its verdict on his plea for political asylum. as opposition forces a home stager a mass offensive against syrian government troops despite a red cross brokered truce we report on how intimidation to join the ranks of the rebels has man death for some who refuse. the military backed election commission delays the results of the presidential runoff in egypt the move has outraged mannie in the country who see it as part of

a coup aimed at keeping the army interim rulers in power. and while doing a son just fighting his battle against extradition to sweden and for political asylum from ecuador r.t. discusses the future offers we can weeks project with the websites press spokesman christine happens and that's next. thank you very much for joining us can you tell us how you came to join wiki leaks well. joining us ours was working quite a lot in iceland in the winter of two thousand and nine and two thousand and ten and after actually here year we could he produced a tremendously important leak in two thousand and nine with exposed the corruption within the iceland banks. station which will. have a light on why the entire banking system in iceland webster thousand and eight i

met him and then the period when he was doing. all the things one supporting the projects the icelandic modern media initiative. we befriended he. showed me the collateral murder video i was at the time working for the state television and of course offered my help and it became. basically a joint project to with between the eyes of the state television and we can use. and join then we can use full time in the summer of two thousand and ten and how's it being feel you've been described as sort of the second public face of wiki leaks having stepped into this much more spotlighted role so to speak at such a difficult time with wiki leaks. have you been finding it i've been finding extremely interesting and it journalist would find it interesting to take part in the in the biggest leaks in history. basically transform.

politics from certain areas and it's been a total game changer it's a paradigm james is saying is agendas but it's like working and what do you perceive is the other journalists response because we see a lot of them doing a turn on wiki leaks and julian assange. well i mean there is a very mixed feelings among journalists and we have worked with a lot of excellent journalist who understand the importance of what we can use we also work with other journalists who have to go back and we have failed. very strange for most of the. people to post world. it is hard to say what exactly forces so but they have many of them have been. dishonest and spiteful in their in their. covering of weeklies so. i have no idea. but it's extremely strange as it is disappointing to experience

that for me as a journalist for more than twenty years but it's a fact ok i want to talk to you about wiki leaks is the how do you think there's a concern there that the focus is moved away somewhat from the really important aspect of it which is these incredible leaks. to actually this sort of idea about wiki leaks as a whole in julian assange that's maybe a shadowing more important aspect of it now does that concern me well i mean the focus has. always been an independent kind of thing but we have not been able to always. decide upon how it was handled i mean. for example like in the first probably the day to par. in the collateral murder video. release in april of two thousand and ten i was surprised by the fact that the biggest stories were actually on the leak itself and secondly on julian

a science. the fact that this is a video that is exposing. a war crime got much lesser tension and still hasn't gotten the attention it deserves but it is the media for you. the media will decide where the focus is and that's the reality we live in a way to see the future of wiki leaks always very hard i mean we have. we have been starved of ninety five percent of our funds julian assange is facing a legal battle. we know that in virginia there is a secret grand jury trying to find those of bringing cases against julian and or possibly others in the organization. people that have and are supporting we can use our being harassed when they. tell us even us citizens so we it's hard to see where the future is but. i believe that

despite. everything we look back at the accomplishments all we can do so they are. great in this period to say this is a battle between wiki leaks in big corporations governments we see it is a battle. against corruption. and lies secrecy. and he thinks going to win. well it's hard to say but let's hope that. rupert murdoch was right in the early fifty's when he was on a tour in australia where he. wrote in that authorial. in the race between truth and secrecy truth will always win. i hope he'll remember these words himself but somehow i doubt if you're an effective

journalist and i thing. which is to say it is being one of the world's strongest when it comes to the legal rights protected to whistleblowers what you think is the other countries are following state well iceland is on the path of changing the laws to to make it a very strong. shield for journalists and whistleblowers. it's a long term project but after the year economic collapse in no time two thousand and eight when everybody was agreed was caused by lack of transparency and formation so this is a. nation was. ready for for a total overhaul of the legal system it will take some time but sometimes shock like that in my entire nation spectacular show total meltdown economy. creates the right atmosphere for. for improvement in this nature one of the

positive things that can come out of such situations but i suppose the shocks can also work the other way because the scene of this is the u.s. and some extent by sort of almost taking steps backwards and there's a sense maybe that these big corporations that are now under threat that the sort of transparency wiki leaks could bring fighting back against this now. that is certainly the trend i mean the situation comically or worse stream with dire i mean it was a. spectacular meltdown i mean the banking sector. was ten times the size of the local economy ten times the g.d.p. of iceland when it all collapsed over a few days you can imagine the consequences. in other places like here in britain i mean there was a bailout. basically the taxpayers had to shoulder the burden to keep the banks

like they were too big to fail. years which are. all over all over yet what we're seeing of course is this trend. which was so much to. crack down it was a point with. totally contrary to to be slow and gradual improvement in the legal environment that we've seen. over the years. of longbow and some more protection i was introduced here in the u.k. a similar one u.s. . steel we received basically a systematic crackdown on whistleblowers especially in the us a very serious one we are all. from one nine hundred seventy in the espionage act it's been used to. haunt those who are basically blowing the whistle blowing the whistle on. illegalities corruption which is hurting the general public and costing the taxpayer money ok so we think

that the legal protections afforded to potential whistleblowers can't necessarily be relied on at the moment which is an organization that predates these anonymous leaks what can you actually offer a whistleblower when they come to you how much genuine protection can you offer then. we'll have you know the a track record of. is impressive in that respect i mean nothing no nobody that has contributed material to weeklies has been exposed by anything that we can use has done so. hopefully the states like that we have we are still working on reopening the. electronic dropbox allows people to submit information to us with. it being traced to them in any manner we we wouldn't not be able to do it ourselves even let's hope that they will that will open soon meanwhile we've heard from

a shouldn't delivered. you are summed up as had been asleep but. it is a very very important channel to have for whistleblowers ok thank you very much mr . wealthy british style. guide. markets why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with my stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on our. business meeting on
