president is considering whistleblower june a sounders claim for political asylum was not said when a decision will be made but we can expound it has been at the country's embassy in london since tuesday attempting to avoid extradition to sweden there were alleged sex crimes that could always ambassador to the u.k. has been recalled the capital key to to brief the government. is protected inside the embassy though it is police say they're arrested for breaching conditions once he steps outside the world's most famous whistleblower sought asylum from the ecuadorians because they're sympathetic to his struggles but also wants to avoid ending up in the u.s. here's the death penalty. for more. held under house arrest and oppressed by the government in an effort to silence a pro-democracy message to the public but we're not talking about famous political dissident. she is now free and being warmly welcomed by the british government

we're talking about the western explaining freedom speech charges of ever being fought against you in a. 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 hate being equitable in the safe haven he seeks the latest dramatic twist in the case of julian assange is once again called the eyes of the world's media behind the could do it and to see those julian assange takes recchi that away from the height and his supporters say that this is a dark a tale of a man he's 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 his trial in government to stand up for and just fight has been a long one eighteen months of legal wrangling in the case a result is in the rejection of his supreme court's 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 lodges an 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 me i think you'll end up actually the united states facing very serious charge probably life in prison if not the death penalty and it will be a stacked kangaroo court against those who are sitting with the bradley manning case united states now has kangaroo courts rather than real course these on time founded concerns as a long list of u.s. biggest if a pin equals not only for songes incarceration even if the his death this guy's a traitor treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty i want to do it illegally shoot the son of

a and here's why because of his work with wiki leaks 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 cable guy has embarrassed the 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 through wiki leaks released groundbreaking stories has in another twist become the story himself and there are many now hoping that the next big release will be julian assange himself served r.t. london we can exact of his clock stokely says political asylum in ecuador is 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 been 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 a lot less than it would be from sweden or the u.k. while under house arrest in the u.k. so innocent has produced a series of into the chaise with political figures for around the world ending

right terror no t. you can catch all that they say that in that way the president karimov will now decide on assad is the son of a haitian well that's on our web site called. reza gyptian is the way to delayed results of last weekend's presidential election huge crowds are gathering to protest against of a stronger military rule supporters of muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi have failed at cairo's tahrir square but the ruling military council has promised to crush challenges of the regime with an iron fist put to sleep has more from cairo. as you can hit 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 posse days they calling for the muslim brotherhood candidate dr mohamed morsi to be maimed egypt's makes president there were also chanting things like we are strong good and that we are preparing

a full wolf coming to an ominous point that comes with it 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 even to his square and this is because many of the people here who are muslim brotherhood supporters who are cautious of the fact that they think the little commission is delaying and non-singing results because the army is trying to organize that it's kind of it which i think the main to egypt's makes president and i were 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 see that despite these protests despite the growing anger they're not going to back down from we sent a constitutional and judicial changes that they made. that when they least expect

him a show says the new president will have a hard time bargaining with them that it truly was. if the constitutional declaration is that what they're peled they legalized intervention in politics meaning that they can veto articles in the constitution if the current constitutional assembly was dismantled they will form a constitutional assembly from appointed politicians and they will choose specific opera politicians that will not negotiate or bargain hard with them and want to protect the vast economic interests in the country they want a veto in high politics in anything that has to do with national security issues issues or sensitive foreign policy issues and they want legal and constitutional immunity from any charges that has to do with corruption or depression and all these issues obviously undermine the mandate of the upcoming president and more.

or less he has very solid support on the ground and capacity to mobilize his supporters in that heat and elsewhere and then use this capacity to mobilize to bargain and negotiate with the military leadership then he will be a very weak president. on the way in the program the cutting edge of cyber warfare american officials spill the beans on last month's computer virus attack on iran all the details in a few minutes. syria says the shooting down by its forces of a turkish military jet on friday was defensive and not an aggressive action has both sides seek to defuse tensions after the incident. earlier warned it would retaliate but it didn't specify how turkish and syrian search teams are looking for the two missing pilots international relations expert mark almond from bill kent university in turkey says the incident with the turkish jet will be part of the nato buildup to military intervention in syria if the nato countries were really thinking about

some kind of intervention to. do. so some kind of flight testing center and radar surround responses may be possible one way of getting around the un and russia and china on intervention in syria is to make it into an international crisis so long as the prices aren't inside story of them classical him or her international branches and the global crisis situations try to house the borders of the country concerned can remain if you however have an international crisis and perhaps you can find a way of pressuring russia and china to agree to action or you may say nato countries have to go to our course we don't know yet it's after the circumstances of maybe an incident can be resolved diplomatically without any problem but of course it comes of such times even if nobody has proposed this incident it's likely to take home life and so in terms of the crisis management holds the syrian crisis

because there were racial countries relations with the rebels against. well russia has been in the spotlight this week for alleged arms shipments to syria claims denied by moscow parties laura smith has more on the media war on the false reports being used to drive the headlines. syria may be on the brink of civil war but it's already the subject of a full blown media war ships on a ships that's been the question for the past week as reports are since it was on its way according to the reports that battleships were laden with arms and troops and headed for syria it later turned out they were nowhere near as syria they're in their home port of sevastopol empty but in the fog of rule any reports however it accurate had some kind of influence as long as you have so many forces.

excited about the euro option that is the danger always gets there and they were. going to get there through august and. or mention as usual so like they did before the iraq war and before. intervening in afghanistan in the late seventy's 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 a sessions 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 these days that indeed

it was scary for the defense systems and it was carrying three critical of those which have been repaired in russia under the control of the size of the souls of those us soviet helicopters seventy five in syria for the soldiers. and the fuel cells and say there was a concert to repeal they're still to be assembled when they are delivered the fifth of the symbols of the entire process will fit with the three months or 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 use the agency as love the story because it matches there are narrative that you know the. regime and its supporters in. iran or russia or china or. they are the ones who are. the conflict instead of seeking. peaceful solution so. the story you know. the news agency used then 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 in power in syria russia's foreign ministry later denied that was putin's 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 the last fifteen months is being immediate in syria that the crisis to syrian crisis is seventy percent of 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. and moscow and washington seem to come closer in their positions on syria this week at the g. twenty summit in mexico both sides pointed out syrians should choose their own next government a statement by president putin and obama on tuesday it was their first face to face meeting since the russian leader returned to the kremlin may their talks however exposed more rough edges then resolved issues u.s.

and russia still want to shop on washington's we saw the french shield in europe. once again reiterated its call for shared. well the system has a solution to the impasse based on corporation a former member of the reagan administration paul craig roberts but he's obama doesn't have as much room to maneuver on the assurance he might like. i'm convinced that putin does not warrant conflicts with washington he wants to resolve the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding russia he doesn't want conflict and obama. he doesn't want any conflict either but he is just one member of a government that wants regime change in syria and obama is not exactly in a position to be able to stop that he will do what he can to get along

with kryten but he still has to represent the agenda of. the world agent me and regime change and so the situation i think is unresolved. yes well at the g twenty itself heads of states have voiced fresh anxiety over the continuing eurozone crisis describing it as a single biggest threat to the world economy many leaders have said progress in dealing with the situation has been far too slow meanwhile greece's new coalition government is seeking a deadline extension by these two years to cut its budget deficit that would breach one of the terms of the i.m.f. bailout deal but i think that once to avoid having to further cut salaries and pensions proposal was agreed within the coalition formed earlier this week after two elections in greece produced no outright winner an economics blogger gonzo mira says it's too early to celebrate. every says oh you're so situation and then five minutes later it was like oh are back in the doldrums we're going to get this high

it's sure i'm sure rush. for the next couple of it is all right you know experience and you know thursday friday reason i started thinking well you know you don't you know we're still in the same hole that we're really for because they're trying to do two things are out there you see on the one hand grow and on the other hand back on their. civil list and on their government in order to comply with the troika for austerity measures now you can't do it you can't do the same thing you can 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 and when the screen governments fall and that's what we're really seeing in the near term future if this government pursues these 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 there for the next six months but we've got the world covered for you at r.t. dot com here's a taste of what's online today a bahrain crackdown opposition leaders are injured as police used tear gas and

defensive when they talk about cyber attacks is 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 interest of the economy maybe even in terms of loss of life because we could produce. they would more fry the next pearl harbor that we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our our power systems or in our grid acts of terror 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 else or elec trani documents by now nobody doubts the program was development by

a government entity that something like this appears to be what they would call state sponsored it sounds like the n.s.a. it was a divine right i mean they're necessary to see has it does this kind of thing we know they've done this kind of thing you're getting intelligence without having to put someone actually there it's cyber espionage while the flame war was collecting intelligence 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 had teamed up with israel to create stocks net some fear that the move almost invites retaliate and you attack or for instance iraq's nuclear program you provide the iranians where their weapons your work which they can read reverse engineer take apart figure out how it works turn it around send your way a leading moscow based security firm which uncovered the flame virus as part of its

code is nearly identical to the code finding stocks net and suggested that the viruses were developed by two teams working in collaboration leaks in the kind of support that assessment one official also on condition. with 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 at 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 weapons it means tracing just announced

a one hundred ten million dollars 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 it they're always talking about war because that's their business and so they're trying to rope technology into that and so 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 cyber space as a whole is now seen by the u.s. military as that vast area of opportunity you can really tell the government don't do to others what you don't want them to tell you but in light of the recent revelations about the u.s. being based in the cyber attacks one might ask what the message that the same way the government beeman the dems cyber attacks have heard them all but it felt like one hell of a hacker i'm going to check out reporting from washington hard to. get back to the
