a week of tribal clashes as the interim government fails to end violence in the post. for the moment i'll be back with another summer in fifteen minutes from now in the meantime while you know the songes fighting his battle against extradition to sweden and for political asylum from ecuador all she discusses the future. project with the website's press spokesman kristinn hrafnsson that's next week. 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 produce to a tremendously important leak in two thousand and nine with exposed the corruption within the iceland banks. station school. of the light on

why the entire banking system in iceland webster two thousand and eight i met him and then the very quick he was doing i think. among other things one supporting the project the icelandic modern media initiative. and 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. join then we can use pool 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 i mean any journalist would would find it interesting to take

part in the in the biggest leaks in history that. basically transformed. politics from certain areas and it's been a total game changer it's a paradigm change is saying is it generous but it's like working and what do you perceive as the other journalists response because we've seen a lot of the. 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 all we can use we also work with other journalists who have to go back and we have failed. a very strange loss of. people to so small. it is hard to say what exactly forces it but they have many of them have been. dishonest and spiteful in their in their. covering of weekly 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. 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 problem that they took part in the collateral murder video. release in april two thousand and ten i was surprised by the fact that the

bigger stories were actually on the leak itself and secondly on julian science. the fact that this is a video that is exposing. a war crime got much less attention and still hasn't gotten the attention it deserves but it's the media for you. the media will decide where the focus is. and that's the reality we live in where do you see the future of wiki leaks oh it's very hard i mean we have. we have been starved of ninety five percent of our funds julian assange is facing its 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 are. and are supporting we can use our being harassed when they. tell us even u.s.

citizens so we it's hard to see where the world if you choose to. believe that despite. everything we look back at the accomplishments 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 this 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 he. wrote in that authorial so 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 the thing that is being one of the world's strongest when it comes to either legal rights protected to whistleblowers what do you think it is the other countries are following state well iceland is on the path of changing the year the last two to make it a. very strong. shield for journalists and whistleblowers. it's a long term projects but after the year economic collapse in no time two thousand and eight when everybody was agreed was caused by lack of transparency and information so this is. the nation was. ready for. a total overhaul of the legal system it will take some time but sometimes shock like that from the entire nation spectacular show total

meltdown economy. creates the right atmosphere for. deciding for improvement in this nature one of the positive things that can come out of such situations that us face the shocks can also work the other way because the scene of this is the us 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. here situations of all over all over europe but we're seeing of course this trend. which we saw most serious of. a crackdown 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 research more protection was introduced here in the u.k. of similar one u.s. . steel we received basically a systematic crackdown on whistleblowers especially in the us a very serious one were all. from one thousand seven hundred the espionage act is being 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 a lot of 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 promotes these anonymous leaks what can you actually offer a whistleblower when they come to you how much genuine protection can you offer them. well i mean of the 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 anonymous electronic dropbox with allows people to submit information to us with. it being

traced to them in any manner and 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 deliver to us and published it anonymously but. it is a very very important channel to have for whistleblowers. thank you very much. business meeting on a global scale. hundreds of deals billions in investment. the international economic forum in st petersburg on r.t.e. . wealthy british style. is not on my list.

june in the songs way to break could or to decide on his request for political asylum within hours and a chance of him leaving the u.k. without being arrested remain uncertain. moscow is not sending offensive weapons to syria and hasn't changed his position on ways to solve the conflict according to russia's foreign minister in an exclusive interview here on r.t. . britain and the u.s. may give immunity clemency to syria's president assad if he attends a conference on the transition of power as part of the effort to oust the syrian leader. and fighting continues in libya with ever one hundred killed in a week of tribal clashes as the interim government fails to end violence in the post gadhafi state. with a news team with more on those stories in fifteen minutes from now in the meantime after days break the football resumes at the european championships tonight and

with all the details. thanks for watching and here's what's coming up back in action portugal in the czech republic prepare for the first quarter finals of the european championships last in the ring pittsburgh penguins star you get him out in his name again a child's most valuable player for the first time. and turning up the heat on his or bron james struggle for a bit of injury worries ahead of game five against oklahoma in the n.b.a. finals. let's start there with the european championships in just two hours time portugal will kick off the first quarter final against the czech republic portugal the slight favorite at the national stadium in warsaw and their coach. is expected to feel the same side that beat denmark and the netherlands with bruno alvarez

around realize both overcoming the knocks they picked up against the dutch side the portuguese as strong as they can be and bento believes his team have enough to claim their third win in a row at the championships. like we have said so there is a game in front of us that could get us to the semifinal that says something about the truth about the game tomorrow we will see the game czech republic versus portugal and that is what we're interested in we will play with the organization willpower passion talent and that is the most important thing for us if we win we will be very glad about it and if we don't deserve to win then we want well portugal star man christiane who are now there has been instrumental for them his double in their two one win over the netherlands put them through to the last eight although portugal are quick to point out the real madrid man is not the only one in the take. well it's naturally there is a lot of talk about the best player in the world it's very natural to talk about

him all the time but he is on our team to help us like all of us were here with the same goal and that is to help our team much ronaldo is a leader and he will continue to do his work for the team as for the czechs they could be with their most influential player thomas risky has an achilles tendon problem and although he did train on cheese day it's thought he will start on the bench with daniel kohler deputizing it failed the arsenal man though has confidence in his teammates and has pointed act of weakness and we're now days. well what i remember in the matches i played against him is that he's a good attacker but he doesn't want to defend of course if someone is on such a high level you can afford not to help the defense and just pour gold. well the czechs will be hoping to repeat their famous when i was a portuguese at euro ninety six cover for ski strike sending them into the semifinal sixteen years ago and that is something that still lives in the memory of their coach michael be like. the examples is of course we remember this match it

was exceptional for czech football we reached the final for the quarter finals in the lobby of carroll that was amazing and we wouldn't be angry if we repeated the same result of course i think the situation is similar portugal is also a favorite with strong individual players and a strong team is i think that if we were peter performance of the previous two matches we have a chance to go through to go to dutch forward cat has been given a warm welcome had his new club the former liverpool man has been unveiled in front of fans in the stamboul the turkish side to qualify for next season's champions league says he's determined to win more trophies after claiming just a solitary league cup medal during the sixty's on merseyside. i like to win trophies with this group. i like i like to win as much as possible and i can't wait to be a player who is part of the history of this clip and i think it will be easy with

this huge boulders. really good supporters i think and you know also i'd like to say that it will be a target for me to look at the sport to scream as loud and it's hard to get booked in the budget book look and i'm sure we will win a lot of trophies. staying with football and a neymar goal was not enough to sent off to prevent. corinthians from moving into their maiden copyable to doris final going into the match santos trial one nil from the first leg of their semifinal double header however the tie was evenly poised after name are finished off and they have nine minutes before the break the twenty year old left for the simple tap in after bourses hit the post here. but some thought his hopes of a comeback came to an abrupt end is the new life was given enough time and space to clinically finish a free kick from alex here right after the race starts so every reason for corinthians to celebrate is the five time visiting champions home alone for a one one draw to win two one and i give it and they will play the winner of the

other semifinal between argentina's bucky genius and chain outfit university that. they're not talking more accolades have been sharing on the russian style you've got a mouth in the pittsburgh penguins forward has been named the n.h.l.'s most valuable player that the icing on the cake for malkin who has had an incredible season the twenty five year old also won the heart memorial trophy and picked up his second straight face as the regular season scoring leader of the two thousand and nine stanley cup champion posted fifty go with a fifty nine assist and he was named the most valuable player last month our stock of world championships after guiding russian crime in five. that switched the n.b.a. finals when miami hates the bron james insists he will be ready for game five against oklahoma on thursday he did turn out a gutsy performance last time out his twenty six points helping his side win game four to go three went up in the best of seven series and even though he admits he's

been feeling a bit sore since that encounter he says he will recover in time for the savings clash. still a lot better idea last night it's clear maybe to walk a beer even better deal as i want to talk to you guys you know still a little sore you know because of the muscles is just being that intense level very tight still sore so. you know they were just dreaming last night some treatment this morning. you know. for game five a little bit today we didn't do much run and things like that of that nature but. about the going to use today as a opportunity to continue to improve. and i also know the game being based at midnight. tomorrow night i have already about two to prepare so i should be fired by tomorrow night well no team has recovered from a three one deficit in the n.b.a. finals but i go home i haven't given up hope and their star man kevin durant's is

determined to turn things around in front of him fantz. to war with the test of. time to take it back to oklahoma city you know. tomorrow we can win three games in a row here in miami we can win the series no but next game got to take it is a possession it's our game. and go from there so you know tomorrow of course is a door and we're going to come out and perform on the end of the grueling multi-sport event that takes twenty four hours to complete the annual red fox adventure race involves riding on bikes kayaking climbing and running and was held for the tenth time the russia finland border with more is constantine a top. every year the red fox adventure race takes place somewhere new and every year it becomes more and more difficult dangerous and extreme this time out it was on the russian side of the corral region along with it savage yet beautiful

scenery become better is forced to burst through various obstacles a new route covering a distance of foremost three hundred kilometers on mountain bikes kayaks and on food with many interesting checkpoints along the way after writing more than one hundred kilometers on my competitors will have to quine twenty metres down this area to reach their next checkpoint. after climbing down the added climber speak for entrance to an underground cave the competitors then change scenery with a battle down the river the challenge here every word in the rapids before reaching the stormy white sea. the organizers certainly making sure that boredom wouldn't become an issue next task climbing up an mountain on a deserted island for another check point have been checking this adventure races always like an expedition that organizes drop you somewhere in the wild nature and

you have to find your way through it one hundred and fifty kilometer kayaking stage turned out to be the most exhausting however being up so northern lee on the globe the race was able to be held in the midnight sun with most of the competitors deciding not to stop for sleep instead mortaring on through the breeze to nature this is the second day of the red fox adventure race and the first athletes to reach the finish line were expected to stop the clock at thirty six hours however these iron man and iron woman move mountains braved forest and the weight seat to make it in less than twenty five hours the red fox adventure race three time winner is eager to clear church and doing us a formula eventually taking the crown i think if we love such adventure races were old bikes in the river and the white sea and climbed up and down mountains and that all happened during twenty four hours you can hardly do all that anywhere else.

then fuz ism of the competitors simply a joy to behold despite the fact that around forty of the sixty four teams managed to reach the finish line it was clear that everyone was happy just to take part in the ten year old event now officially the biggest and most prestigious adventure race in the country constantine bought up of r t russia as the republic of korea. while turn to them all that is all the sport for the moment we got the weather coming up. well. it's technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. download the official t. application to go on the phone i pod touch from the i.q.
