12:02 am
the public but we're not talking about famous political dissident suchi she's now free and being warmly welcomed by the british government we're talking about the western explain and freedom of speech the charges of of imported ganz julian assange lunch yet he still spent more than five hundred days under house arrest fighting extradition to sweden and possibly the u.s. now he's desperately hoping ecuador in the safe haven see the latest dramatic twist in the case of julian assange has once again called the eyes of the world's media behind the ecuadorian embassy those julian assange takes recchi that away from the height and his supporters say that this is a dark a tale of a man who has been abandoned by his own country persecuted by the u.s. and failed by the u.k.'s legal system but he's not looking for consular assistance he's looking for political and diplomatic assistance and he's looking for a stroll in government to stand up for a son just fight has been a long one eighteen months of legal wrangling in the case
12:03 am
a result in the rejection of his supreme court appeal against extradition to sweden what this was about was once julian assange gets extradited to sweden he's in prison in sweden the next thing that happens is the u.s. assuming there's an indictment largest extradition warrant in sweden eventually the u.s. gets his hands on him they stick him in a prison in the united states fears of what might await him across the atlantic may well have prompted his latest there are there you know and there are actually very very serious charge probably life in prison if not the death toll and it will be a stacked against as a receding with the bradley manning case united states now as carrying the records rather than we'll of course these on time founded concerns as a long list of u.s. biggest openly calls not only for songes incarceration even though his death this guy is a traitor a treasonous and. and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be
12:04 am
and i'm not for the death penalty so i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it illegally shoot and here's why because of his work. this guy has made some powerful enemies you know the collateral murder video shows american helicopter gunships shooting reporters the iraq war logs the afghan war diaries all of this. has embarrassed american british government freedom fighting in the twenty first century is a whole new ball game new rules new players and unexpected me even first songes legal team this was a complete surprise so we found out about it on twitter and say the man he revolutionized whistleblowing and three wiki leaks released groundbreaking stories has in another twist become the story himself and there are many now a ping that the next big release will be julian assange himself. r.t. london. stokely an artist and with exactly this says political asylum in ecuador is
12:05 am
the best chance for assad to continue his work of making revelations about the u.s. . we're not so worried about him going to sweden actually but that's just small business were most worried about him getting extradited to the united states and it's being orchestrated by the department of justice and most of the mainstream media doesn't seem to know about it because no one is allowed in and this is being going on simultaneously as bradley manning's trial i would say it's a fifty fifty chance either it does or doesn't i pulling for it sounds like this is a very good option. julian can continue to do the great work he has been doing for journalism ecuador would be a very good choice i think the likelihood of an extradition from ecuador is
12:06 am
a lot less than it would be from sweden or the u.k. . under house arrest in the u.k. has produced a series of into the shows the political figures from around the world anything like. that sure we have to say including that with president korea who will now decide to decide about action on that on our website. now syria says the downing by its forces of a turkish reconnaissance plane on friday was not an attack and would retaliate but didn't specify turkish and syrian search teams are looking for the two missing both sides trying to smooth over the f.s.a. it's fun it's continues in the arab nations international relations expert and university turkey says the incident with the jets may well be part of a way to build up the two intervention in syria. if the nato countries were really thinking about some kind of intervention to assist the rebels. were
12:07 am
a person who would want to do is to not also. so some kind of flight test in syria radar syria and responses may be possible one way of getting around the un and bargo by the russian trainer on intervention in syria is to make it into an international crisis so long as the price of finally inside syria then pass it or him or her international intervention and the global crisis situation is spreading our side of the borders of the country concerned can be made if you however have an international crisis and perhaps even find a way of pressuring russia and china to agree to action or you may say nato countries have to create our of course we don't know yet exactly the circumstances of maybe an incident that could be resolved diplomatically without any problem but of course it comes at such times time even if nobody has proposed this incident it's likely to take her life and so in terms of the crisis management of the syrian
12:08 am
crisis but also we're nato countries relations with the rebels against. russia has been in the spotlight this week for alleged arms shipments to syria claims denied by moscow but is there a smith as more of the media war and the false reports being used to drive the headlights. syria may be on the brink of civil war but it's already the subject of a full blown media war ships on new ships that's been the question for the past week as reports world person simple is on its way according to the reports the battleships were laden with arms and troops and headed for syria it later turned out they were nowhere near syria they're in their home port of sevastopol empty but in the fog of war any report however inaccurate has some kind of influence. as long as you have so many forces. excited about the your option there is that danger
12:09 am
always yes they were and they were. going to get there through this information as usual like they did before the iraq war and before. intervening in afghanistan in the late seventies also there was a delay of some information there was one ship it was turned back off the coast of scotland after it was found to be carrying helicopter parts bound to syria q assertions that russia was supplying combat helicopters to president assad we are concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from russia to syria which will escalate the conflict quite dramatically it's an allegation that russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says is part of a propaganda campaign pushing for which is being discussed but these days that indeed was scary for their defense systems and it was carrying the three
12:10 am
helicopters which have been repaired in russia under the control of science into cells of a there was a soviet helicopter seven hundred fifty eight in syria from seoul did this and the fuel cells and say there was a concert the repeal of the bastille to be assembled you know when they are delivered they have the best symbols of the entire process will fit with less than three months so to speak about something which we just sold to syria and which is being used. in your actions is not true but it wasn't only ships apparently war games were planned to it rainy a news agency fawaz reported that iran russia china and syria are planning to conduct joint military exercises in syria next month analysts think the story was planted by syria or iran as a show of strength but the u.s. outlets took it up because it. suited them for the u.s. and you love the story because. you know the.
12:11 am
regime and its supporters in iran or russia or china. but they are the ones who are. the conflict instead of seeking. peaceful solution so they believe the story you know. and use agents use then there's the war of words british prime minister david cameron came out of a meeting with president putin at the recent g twenty summit saying putin no longer wanted president taft that in power in syria russia's foreign ministry later denied that was peace his position but was it a case of lost in translation wishful thinking on the prime minister's parts or another attempt to exert pressure on russia in the last fifteen months is being a media attack on syria that the crisis just syrian crisis is seventy percent of
12:12 am
media so two percent on the ground so there is a quite a lot of stories every day. like for some model of stations by just some of those using you tube. there is no confirmed reports anymore it's said the first casualty of war is the truth and all this international rumor mongering and jockeying for position comes at the expense of the syrian people the situation doesn't change regardless of which country won the latest battle of words laura smith. well later this hour we talk to the syrian president's political and media advisor. while the syrian government is often accused of not allowing foreign journalists into the country she denies that journalists have been prevented from covering events. true that we don't get access to foreign journalists hundreds of freshened hundreds of. foreign journalists from all over the
12:13 am
world from and they're trying. they were from all over the world and so it's not true that. among given access to syria but also that there are. tens at least of satellite the channels. made themselves part of the war on syria and fighting sectarian wars fabricating thoughts about what's happening in our country unfortunately the media war throughout history could be very damaging and. very effective. when u.s. president barack obama has said that china and russia are not aligned with the u.s. and other nations on syria but do recognize the dangers of a civil war and made the statement on tuesday at the g twenty summit in mexico after meeting the russian president vladimir putin it was their first meeting since
12:14 am
putin returned to the kremlin in may well both leaders agreed that the syrians should choose their own next government president putin also sending u.s. and russia still differ on washington's plans for a missile defense shield in europe he believes the solution lies in common control of the system by moscow in washington a former member of the reagan administration paul craig roberts says however that american policymakers may not allow president obama's much room to move she wants. does not wall conflicts with washington he wants to resolve the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding russia he doesn't call conflict. he doesn't really conflict either but he is just one member government that wants regime change. syria and obama is not exactly in a position to be able to stop the. he will do what he can to get along
12:15 am
with kryten but he still has to represent the agenda of. world age in a me and regime change and so the situation i think is unresolved . what the g. twenty itself world leaders have voiced a fresh anxiety of the continuing eurozone crisis describing it as the single biggest threat to the world economy many have said the progress in dealing with the situation has been too slow meanwhile the greece's new coalition government is seeking a deadline extension by these two years to cut its budget deficit that with one of the terms of the i.m.f. bailout deal happens at once to avoid having to further cut salaries and pensions the proposal was agreed within the coalition for three two elections in greece produced outright. economics glover. says it's too early to celebrate.
12:16 am
everybody says oh yes all the situation and then five minutes later it was like oh are back in the doldrums we're going to get high it's sure i'm sure a lot of call for the next couple is on the way you know. and you know come thursday friday reason i started thinking well you know that you know we're still in the same hole that we're really for because they're trying to do two things are also you see on the one hand grow and on the other hand back on their. civil list and on their governments in order to comply with the troika's or austerity measures now you can't do it you can't do the same thing and do lots of things at same time it's either one of them i mean if you squeeze the people all of the people are going to scream when the screen governments fall and that's what we're really seeing in the near term future of this government ease austerity measures which have been ineffective over the last two years and so there's no reason to think that they're going to be used for the next six months. but on the way in the
12:17 am
program the cutting edge of cyber warfare american officials spilled the beans on last month's computer virus attack on iran details in three minutes. as a drip way to delayed results of last weekend's presidential election huge crowds are gathering to protest against but a troop supporters of muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi filled the cairo's tahrir square but the generals have promised to crush challengers of the regime with an iron fist there has more now from cairo. as you can hear tensions are soaring here in tough his way away tens of thousands of people have turned out to demonstrate on saturday night they're chanting for the army to step down and indeed as they have been chanting for the past few days they calling for the muslim brotherhood candidate dr mohamed morsi to be named egypt's makes president they're also chanting things like we are strong and that we are preparing
12:18 am
for war coming to an ominous threat that comes would as the electoral commission says that it will and mounds the official results of last weekend's presidential polls on sunday three pm local time there is confusion over this because we're hearing from other electoral commission officials that it has not yet been determined when these results in fact will be announced now as you can hear this growing anger into his square and this is because many of the people here who are muslim brotherhood supporters are cautious of the fact that they think the little commission is delaying and mounting it was also because the army is trying to organize that it's candidate after much traffic the main to egypt's makes president and there are growing concerns that if indeed shafiq is announced they will be violence here in egypt the military is worried about those they have warned of potential violence they have warned a political leaders on both sides to put a lid on going on waste but they've also said that despite these protests despite the growing anger they're not going to back down from we sent constitutional and
12:19 am
traditional changes that they made. car based journalist and activist him says egyptians will continue to strive for freedom and democracy against all odds. with this election and how it was engineered from the first place how it was constructed who was in charge was putting all the woods is basically the supreme council for the armed forces so in the end that evolution is not over yet i mean no revolution ends in a year and a half and certainly not with skaf in power i believe that that with the next you know coming months there will be a lot of mobilization there's a lot of huge expectation on this coming president whether it would be sheffield or whether it be more see the have a lot to answer to and with the limiting powers that they have the skaf basically announcing this decree. shows that their job is going to be very very tough yes so when people are won't have the demands met like minimum wage and public health and
12:20 am
health care you know one education and we still have a pile of cash lying around people are not going to be happy and that's not what the sector why so many of our marketers and spent a year and a half of instability for basically people want an answer and until now we have no answers we have only power play cafe spoiling with the you know playing with with the muslim brotherhood but the people are the ones who are out of losing because the they all are in india and they need their security they need their bread and they need to live a dignified life. while we've got the world covered for your county dot com here's a taste of what's online for you right now the bahrain grand down the opposition leaders just as police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse antigovernment protesters. there's no place like home but then so you willing to go to to get that. sort of night i mean she was a very good you can be right these stories i want to come.
12:21 am
name that us officials have admitted american responsibility for last month's computer virus attack on iran the state of the art cyber weapon nicknamed flame is said to have been created by america and israel to spy on and sabotage the islamic states nuclear program parties any chicken has the latest. american officials may sound defensive when they talk about cyber attacks as being a major threat to the country's security a weapon of mass disruption you could have a cyber attack that would be as consequential in terms of the economy maybe even in terms of publishing writing fashions we typically associate with more for the next pearl harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our our power system certainly our grid acts of terror
12:22 am
could come not only from a few extremists and suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer but it turns out the u.s. government itself carries out cyber attacks against other nations the washington post cites officials speaking on condition of anonymity who say entrap aeration full cyber sabotage against iran the u.s. and israel developed the flame virus flame is the most complex computer spying program ever discovered it has the capacity to steal or alger elec trani documents by now nobody doubts the program was development by a government entity something like this appears to be what they would call state sponsored it sounds like the n.s.a. it is a means by me that now security agency has and does this kind of thing we know they've done this kind of things you're getting intelligence without having to put someone actually there it's cyber espionage while the flame war was collecting intelligence
12:23 am
the stuxnet virus borrowed into iran's nuclear program and created havoc in its uranium enrichment centrifuges the obama administration did not deny the leaks in the new york times that it had teamed up with israel to create stocks that some fear that the move almost invites retaliation where you attack for instance iraq's nuclear program you provide the iranians with their weapons your word which they can read reverse engineer take apart figure out how it works turn it around send your way a leading man. so basic you're ready for uncovered the flame virus says part of its code is nearly identical to the code finding stuxnet and suggested that the viruses were developed by two teams working in collaboration leaks in the press support that assessment one official also on condition of anonymity said is just the beginning and the u.s. is preparing the battlefield for another type of covered action we're setting

precedent for other nations and that's where the real problem lies because we've been criticizing china for allegedly attacking united states companies and u.s. governments while the same time engaging in this in the same conduct with other countries feel bomb administration has openly confirmed hacking websites but only if alleged al qaeda sympathizers in yemen the u.s. secretary of state described this cyber effort as part of a larger attack on terrorism but many fear the u.s. cyber efforts go well beyond that. as u.s. defense authorities go offensive in cyber warfare the pentagon's cyber command has fast tracked the development of. the administration just announced a one hundred ten million dollars program to solicit proposals from the universities and video game manufacturers see so much hype about cyber war is that some people that seem to be in the authority about war start talking about technology as if they understand that they're always talking about war because that's their business and so they're trying to root technology into that and so
12:25 am
when we have no control of our technology we have these people that wish to use it for for their ends for war specifically that's a recipe for some pretty scary stuff cyberspace as a whole is now seen by the u.s. military as the basket of opportunity you can't really tell the government don't do to others what you don't want them to you but in light of the recent revelations about a state library one might ask what the message that the center for the government even the dems cyber. attackers and all but it is. like one hell of a hacker i'm going to check out reporting from washington are. more international news stories in brief for you now paraguayan is facing a political isolation with many of its that's an american neighbors with joy in their ambassadors from the country the move comes off the president and under the new guy was ousted from power in pitchman on saturday thirty nine to four vote in the senate saw him removed over his handling of violence between farmers and police
