this is our live from moscow it's now nine pm here my name is kevin now in our top story wiki leaks is publishing close to two and a half million e-mails from syrian government officials from as far back as two thousand and six leagues almost one hundred times bigger than the release of american diplomatic cables that rocked the u.s. military leadership and made wiki leaks founder julian assange an enemy of the state syria first reports for. there's going to be some very anxious people in the syrian government right now more than two million emails are in wiki leaks possession and they're going to be released in chunks over the coming weeks now the message from jail in a song was that this isn't about criticizing one group or another wiki leaks saying that this isn't only embarrassing for the syrian government but also for the west western companies how they say one thing and do another but yet the message from julian assange really was that this isn't about criticizing one particular clique

it's about looking now and a workings about what's going on behind the scenes in this conflict and it's only by understanding this that he says that we can hope to the resolve the conflicts so that was a sort of message there from the wiki leaks founder of course this is the latest that we've had as he's fighting against the extradition to sweden we're joined now by. the founder of the frontline club and also you actually had julian assange staying in your home state thank you very much for joining us i want to achieve it about the media's role in this story because obviously you seen a lot of criticism and backlash against you in the sarge and yet the same people and the same media that was criticizing him and now going to be covering the story for the next couple of weeks is going to be the headline news i think julian has somehow. a territory adjourn the six. journalism is resentful of that to an extent that's partly what's happening in my view and so you see these two shrewd comments against you these people feel that they have the right to patrol the

information and they actually do very little to promote journalism's ethics outside the profession so there's a sort of professional competition going on and i think that it's it's rather unfortunate i think history will be very critical of this because ultimately journalism fails in its task is not just to protect itself you can either look at julian assange as a bomb villain. the white cat or robin hood and the press if they want to be balanced need to be doing both of these but too often and there's only a token disbursements to fairness and balance and frankly it takes no courage to reinforce public sentiment against a man julian a song to running. what he believes to be his life thank you very much for that most certainly it is another big skate for wiki leaks and i think it really puts the focus back on why this fight why do you assign just fight and why the fight for

wiki leaks indeed is so important we've spoken a lot of times to kristen have he's described now as a second public face and i think really the emphasis is always been on the fact that you know wiki leaks does operate without julian assange and it's not just about these big stories and the big story surrounding the man himself but you know the most important thing is the information that wiki leaks provides and we see once again with the syria files that just what an important service that provides for reporting well meantime iraq's foreign minister is blaming al qaeda members for orchestrating the uprising against the syrian president in a news briefing he said militants from the terror network were flowing into syria violence there many times worse than with over a hundred people killed in the last three days reports say fighting is intensifying in homs where troops a question of rebels is get some thoughts from sheldon foote middle east expert from california state university organ evening syria's been saying all along that it's uprising was orchestrated by militants from abroad that's not new news to us

is it do you expect western nations that open their minds as to who is behind much of the violence not just keep blaming the government. no unfortunately the western nations are the ones promoting the war on terrorism they are promoting the terrorists and as you've noted that's been revealed over and over again bringing them in from iraq including the iranian communist emmy cave terrorists on our list of terrorists and yet we use them you name it where using terrorists they're there everywhere else it's terrible why did the american public seeing blinkered to this . well as noted by your comments leading into this the american media is terrible the journalists either publish law is or they don't do any research whatsoever it's none stop i mean i've been reading the last few days these ridiculous stories about syria that they swallow a religious minority took control of the country and isn't slaved to ruin it all

it's total nonsense. so it's father was a socialist a member of the baath party promoted banner of is of there was there no it's a religion in him there wasn't no it's a religion inside it was sane and there was or no it's religion and got to the livia and yet we see these laws over and over again even yesterday in the jordan times i posted the bit against the war minister posed in such lawyers let's pick up a will to the iraqi f.m. said that weapons are still flooding into syria and we've been reporting on this for a while the coming from turkey and the us control how can these countries supplying arms be sure they are not getting into al qaeda is hands is a question we've asked before all the good to ask it again i guess as the as the violence continues i don't think they care i think they would be happy to see a civil war in a breakup of syria the kurds for example would love nothing better than a breakup of syria of course they would also like a portion of turkey iran and iraq so on the turks are doing some amazing things by

promoting though this behavior gets syria could come back and bite them on a portion of their country was carved out by the kurds after the meeting in cairo the a certain position group still conned into pays agree on anything except the desire to see president assad leave i guess that disunity that we see makes it hard for the west to keep supporting them doesn't it. not only that but the big lie of the west. the western media has been filled with stories critical of the election of the mosul brotherhood candidate for president in egypt and yet a majority of the syrian opposition or most brotherhood they don't bother to explain that the western readers that they're just to paste hypocrites and liars how can the most them brotherhood be good in syria bad in egypt. the death toll continues the violence continues despite all the international efforts he's seen to

bring peace how likely do you think there's any kind of unity government in the near future i don't think there's any chance of that. both sides are dog is. i mean if anyone any arab leader or anyone else is awake during what happened in libya they should know it's better to fight to the last man against nato than to roll over and be killed you've been following this very closely how do you think it's going to end up and. well. russia. russia makes it very clear hey we've got a naval base there leave us alone. just as america has a base in bahrain and we have told the world we don't care what the leader of bahrain is doing to the people there. russia's stance burb it will go away but it russia vacillates nato will keep pushing push out a foot fence here so it's good having a program. as diplomats and politicians struggle to find ways to contain the

escalating violence in syria citizens there of course simply trying to survive the people fall from the front line it's not just bombs and bullets that threaten their lives but a lack of basic goods and soaring prices. of looks at that side of the story but conflict in syria that is now being called a civil war there was more bloodshed and killing in syria today the newest massacre in syria while bullets and body bags main lead news headlines on syria but death is not the only toll of this war warden or citizens who haven't picked sides in this conflict now living daily fear for their lives and now they're also paying dearly with their livelihoods prices for food fuel and everything are very highly were under growing a crisis the war a student of life into a hard crisis now serious currency has lost more than half of its value since the fighting began and used to cost about forty seven syrian pounds to buy one u.s. dollar before the war one hundred pounds to the dollar one year later this

inflation unfortunately is only set to get worse with the government now printing more cash just to stay afloat now or oil was once a pillar of syria's economy but an e.u. embargoed has cut revenues for the government by nearly one third now those sanctions may have been aimed at the government but of course it is ordinary syrians who are now paying at the pump four thousand that's about sixty dollars used to be enough for a month but now you need twice as much. most of them to find i spend hours waiting for and it's not just fuel for cars that's difficult to come by a single tank of cooking gas can now eat up about half of the average syrians monthly paycheck and that's huge and with shortages spreading across the country even those supplies are guaranteed. if you're reaching through a week and still have a few we want to lose we want to eat but we have no. this is how we have to live there's no other choice now according to the united nations more than one point

four million syrians are already at risk for hunger and those who still have access to food are finding that prices are soaring out of their reach now let me show you what i mean when it comes to the average syrian a carton of eggs used to cost about one hundred and ten syrian pounds before the war after the uprising that amount of money is enough for just two eggs now take sugar for example the price of a bath like this has tripled in cost the amount of money one used to spend on it will now buy about this amount and even staple foods like rice i mean this is a really common food in syria probably enough to feed a small family for about a week like this has doubled in cost now when it comes to the arab spring the cost of food and fuel has played a critical role as prices rose so did anger in arab nations the same holds true in syria were simply surviving and making ends meet as now a daily battle in the end the price of bread may prove to be a bigger obstacle to peace than a loaded gun for r t i'm lucy catherine of in moscow. greece is furious at

the british prime minister his remarks that the u.k. could restrict greeks from entering the country that move could also prevent other eurozone citizens coming to britain as well to skate recession and greece's london should be focusing on its own financial troubles there smith reports for r.t. . there's been speculation about massive waves of immigration from not just greece but from other economies that are struggling at the moment david cameron in response to that said that britain could potentially close its doors to immigration from these struggling eurozone countries including greece he was under pressure really to say there was a lot of speculation about this kind of migrant issues and he said if the borders came under unusual stress then the legal position was that britain could take action and close down those borders greece has responded quite vehemently it was the it was the pasok party one of the parties in the leading coalition at the

moment that said that david cameron should look to his own house he should keep his own house in order before commenting on these your resume issues the the greeks are referring there to this scandal that's recently broken about barclays bank rigging these interbank lending rates making them seem much more favorable than they were the greeks say that he shouldn't rattle the markets in the euro zone with talk of restricting immigration he should in fact look to barclays and the banking sector here in this country and get that in order for before he does the greeks of course are already feeling humiliated by the fact that they have to rely on the european bailouts to keep their economy afloat and so of course they react very strongly to any comment like this david cameron has to be very careful here because the u.k. is not part of the euro zone so any comment he makes of this nature looks like somebody who's just on the outside looking in greece have said that he's talking about policing measures that violates all the principles in the freedoms in the

rules essentially of the e.u. and also that comments like this damage the trust is really essential for keeping the euro zone together under these circumstances with of course for more perspective on this migration split between greece and britain as told to greek. well one of the governing coalition parties that she's from one of the governing corporate parties they're very good evening good to see you tonight or your party was the first to ring the bell after david cameron's remarks buddy was mentioning all struggling the countries not just greece why have you greece taken such offense at this. why i do believe that it was a statement that was pointless there was no reason of that comment and it's a difficult time for us to have a coalition government trying to get us out of the crisis trying to try to move in a relation with the u.k. with that kind of statement is not helping at all and of course greeks are the last

the least likely to leave the country so i can't see the point of saying something like that if the u.k. does go ahead and impose these immigration restrictions will greece to get to the european courts. where do you think that they would send away all the greek students all the greek supporters that work for all the marbles for example if that's what greece was reacted to and let us not forget that u.k. is not a member of the eurozone so i don't know what's the point of making that statement at all. across greece your own country struggled with immigration issues yourself or wouldn't you take restrictive measures if it was in your country's interests. while greeks are less likely to leave their country so nothing like that to be a problem and greeks never county they move to they would grant the immigrants went to fairly or anywhere else they just created jobs and worked really hard their way there so they wouldn't create a problem if that would be the case so it's against all the rules of the european

union saying something like that while we're trying to get us out of this crisis i don't think it's good it was just pointless for me but i guess britain is saying these are extenuating circumstances and it will be a worse case scenario of course. well i think that cameron's losing his party it seems that the democratic party is going really better so maybe it's like populism or trying to say something is this kind of statements think rees his popularity even the more general picture here i mean thousands of greeks face a dilemma don't. ignore the story and suffer unemployment tough times already because the next generation of greek diaspora as far afield as canada and the stroller what do you say to those people should they stay or go. i said i do believe that the greeks stay here we have to help our country and now we have a strong coalition government that's supported by the majority of the greeks and i

do think it's a matter of time we have to apply all the reforms we need some time and we don't need to create a down the effect in the eurozone with just time trying to help us to stay the way t's and we're trying to create growth in my county so this is something we working on those statements they really don't have any point of being said thanks for being on the programs appreciate it rick socialist. mulayam from greece. the pentagon will reportedly invest forty million dollars into new infrastructure for the military base a growing tide of president obama promised back in two thousand and eight to close the controversial facility used to hold terror suspects over the last decade many without trial let's get some more comment on this and go to our correspondent in washington d.c. can she can what is on the drawing board here what's being presented. well kevin forty million dollars will be spent to lay out this underwater fiber optic

cable from south florida to cuba where the guantanamo bay prison camp is located satellite connection is apparently not good enough for guantanamo and they want an underwater cable i read the base commander said it only makes sense if we're going to be here for any period of time an infrastructure project like that may well suggest that the u.s. military is preparing for detentions and other operations at the guantanamo base for the long term when president obama was first running for office he pledged to shut down guantanamo in very strong terms in two thousand and nine he even signed an executive order to close it but not only did not shut it down but the u.s. is obviously renovating guantanamo in this case by improving communications and the argument is you don't make such an investment to pick up and leave as you say this is a huge a contradiction is that what's being said about it. well guantanamo has made a black hole in america's human rights record indefinite detention torture around

eight hundred people went through the camp within the last decade of america's war on terror the majority of them had nothing to do with nine eleven that's according to a former chief prosecutor at guantanamo now the prison houses one hundred sixty nine detainee the government says eighty nine aren't a threat but president obama and congress have blocked their release as far as for the rest. some of them have a shot at a military hearing but forty six don't have that chance because the government says they can't be tried for one reason or another the u.s. supreme court keeps refusing to take up one ton of detainees petitions what has been striking to me was that the u.s. prides itself on the rule of law and human rights but at the same time has denied due legal process to these detainees practice torture and not just in one tunnel but in secret prisons around the world human rights organizations that they should report on all kinds of violations but to the u.s. it's been like water off a duck's back. thanks for bringing us up to date on this developing story. more

inspect passengers personal e-mails for any traces of pro palestinian activism as artist or found that even a tourist family tree can get them turfed out. they come in the millions to touch the hoody now and many of the frustrated seeing little more than the airport instead of touching the holy land they are brushed by a port security and sent home with them goes a large slice of the country's tourism sandra to mari from illinois in the united states was one of the disappointed i hated my passport over and the young woman looked at me. what is your father's name what is your grandfather's name and when i told her she asked. have a say in the waiting room sandra tomar we kept that seat warm for eight hours in that time she was interrogated seven times and then the question became focused on my email and would i like to mail account and when i refused to block my g.

mail account that's the i c h o b hiding something. i was asked very plainly are you a terrorist and i didn't know whether it's serious. israeli airport security was as serious as it could be they didn't believe her story of coming to visit family and taking part in an interfaith conference they also knew she'd been involved in campaigns calling for boycotts and disinvestment from israel. a day later she was on a plane back to the united states. sandra's experience is not unique there are many more who have suffered in the same way it appears this experience could be merely the tip of the iceberg this is way beyond anything it's like asking you to go back home and open your safe. see what's there they can find your contact list they can find out where where are your plans where you're heading to everything but

the thing is that if you're a terrorist and if you're smart you wipe your laptop before you cross and you have a dummy account so that no one will ever access your mail but saying let's focus on the beauty of it all but also remember aware of the problem two operators are telling potential tourists what to say. we encourage all of our groups to sure. don't. go in we were to the west bank but deleting facebook profiles from setting up fake email addresses doesn't touch on legal questions there certainly is no basis in law whatsoever for them to be asking people for their passwords and usernames and entering their g. mail accounts i find it incredibly difficult to believe that they had obtained a warrant for any of these searches. and so i think it would be very difficult to find a basis in israeli law for this kind of search israel strictness follows

hoped to achieve it hope that it would be good news when it slashed the interest rate to a historic low by twenty five basis points but the move comes even warning signs that even the e.u. the strongest economy germany has hit a downturn charles charles robertson from our nation's capital in london told us earlier that the move was certainly long overdue it's not going to make that much difference it's a psychological boost if anything but the markets of pretty well priced in a twenty five basis point rate cut now. i would have thought they should have already last month and then followed up with another cut this month. and let's check out the equity markets and it looks like the move house already been priced then because the european equity markets ended the day with the losses the footsie was losing despite the fact that the bank of england pumped another fifty billion towns into the economy and staying in the euro zone spain is investigating a failed spanish lender bunk kiya and its former chairman he's suspected of
