welcome back you are with r.d. a reminder of the top stories president obama apparently authorized covert support for the syrian rebels and their violent drive to oust president asad the revelation comes as russian u.s. ally britain drive to bridge the gap over their widely differing approaches in solving the syria crisis at talks and london. also a new video emerges which seemingly shows a cold blooded execution of pro-us and supporters by syrian rebel fighters the foods reveals the side of the war often ignored by the foreign media. join us on his mother joins the battle to secure asylum for her son in ecuador

a meeting the country's president in the process that we can take saboteurs out of the countries london amnesty while sweden circles for extradition and want to sign on to billie's as a cover for eventual prosecution in the us. when i said our team exclusively speak to christina sondra in ecuador about the five for her son and america's role in the process. well thank you very much christine perhaps for being here today with us in this show. just to start how do you feel about the work that your son has done and the effect that it's had on the rod on and policies of the united states the reactions that have occurred since then and but also on his life and and us his mother or the perception that you've had of his work and what he's done when he initially started wiki leaks told me that he was doing something to help. people in

a repressive regime to be a whistleblower and see this in this guy was to be able to get the truth out about some of the abuses that were happening in the country and for you that's what happened and he saw in the way in which he was it would. then when the documents kind to you we keep big strong box on america. and raise it. to produce documents that other countries that this is the united states was embarrassed his life became three. so i have two reactions one is another of course i wish he'd never done and said nothing but as a citizen hadn't visited with he lives is down to the intense tears of the world that the news of the russian kidnapping exhaustion.

torture. and fraud involved big financial institutions of course i completely support my son so can you talk a little bit about your son who has joined us and. his knowledge to what a lot of the media says he is. he's a very simple easy this has started over to really stick and it is quite even still has quite a litigious wardrobe. and the only time we collect snakes if unix is a known not for profit organization and they are on modest wages including julian. so this was not in any way to create a. financial impact some people say is. this actually quite a shock to some. only which in fact of the media with me really with me.

in any sort of big way with the american disclosures came because he needed to defeat wiki. and. so it's not really his way to come to the cameras. and if you knew him personally he would find that it's a little different from what you think it came as it's much more relaxed his has a very good sense of humor. he would smile more like what did you imagine i mean growing up or even in his early adult years that this is something that he could have done and that he wanted to be a physicist. and. molecular physicists is another word for it he wanted to discover. the source of the universe that was what he wanted to do and i guess it's a similar sort of thing he's always been to that truth in some form. when it was scientific truth or philosophical truth. so he has an credibly hiring

law and even the little boy. his question was always why and it is very inquiry i was actually quite a creative person when he was about five he used to pick up the harmonica and play blues how very very intellectually he can also draw a bit of fire in essence person that chosen to direct it and he can write beautifully so he's chosen to direct his image ease into a key x. which is basically. journalism combined with the internet. is a good father who is the young falcon and many people don't realize. that a certain point julian is. it his son's mother was unable to care for. julius son and his fifteen and. was a single father the minute news. and he had sole custody of his son from the time

he was a dad a few months old and he gave up his studies. gave up his career to stay home. and look after my grandson until he went to school and just work part time after that so that he could be his own man as he just had one child there to his two children but i don't want to talk of course because i'm trying to protect the family and that now what do you think that your son's life is in danger absolutely . from the beginning. from the u.s. from politicians and for. news commentary it's that he was screaming out his mood in the most brutal way. this it should be no. filter at all and how they would feel like. calling out for the goofus of murder inciting movies myself. and still in the last few weeks. there's

been a fox who says his integrity because fox news who paid the fallon who was screaming out for julian six a commission this is somebody who is not right in the world and has done nothing more than any good in this a good journalist would do just to be truthful to what his wife doing it was for where you obviously are advocating for your son are you here particularly to advocate for his political asylum request is the authority history invited me so that i could speak to him that there were no knew that the conditions in this trial for example why the government has invented him can you talk a little bit about that yes well unfortunately for australia. we have a. prime minister who is really can only really be described as a puppet for the us who prove already is twenty seven percent of people are not

happy with that war and from the beginning the prime minister. condemned my son. in the media sticking ahead of a case which is unheard of in a strange way to speak about a case and commits judgment upon a person prior to or trial she jeopardized his right to due to the presumption of innocence by saying that what he did was even. if she actually proved preceded the american government in those statements and. despite the fact that this trial in federal police. some two weeks later. after this decided to do it had broken no laws at all in a straight line and the u.s. treasury had refused to blacklist wiki leaks because they could find no crime that had been commuted to stay in prime minister julia gillard. continued to defame my son in the media do you think that the australian government would hand over to the

united states if they had the possibility of doing so but simply. this is a great concern given that the united states has been labeling its own citizens as low level terrorists. so with that with america being within the top five countries executing their own citizens in the world and actually is cooperating since no to the seven. from what here to nine hundred eighty. this is a great concern so your son has been passably fastly accused most likely fast the accused he's now been detained. for over a year and a half in england and there appear to be. against him in the united states in requests for severe punishment against him what do you think would happen to jury and if he were to the united states well ahead sophist head is emotional what work

was lucky to have been apart from what to do each one of the year i was soldiers bradley manning. which the un report on torture says is cruel and inhumane treatment and is very concerned i was on a pedal. cambridge capital city these silent and one of the other speakers was at his trial you called david hicks who has been six years in guantanamo bay now. president obama came to office with a promise to close it down guantanamo bay but it hasn't been cause and effect this thirty billion dollars with the. fiberoptics going to do as we speak. a bit told me told all the all you guys about his treatment guantanamo bay and this is something that we could expect that you would if not worse because david hicks was a very mild reply so. terrified of what will happen to my son.

so kristina here in ecuador or to support his request for political asylum you've met with foreign minister met with the president do you think that he's going to get political asylum here i can say that all i can say is that. was very impressed by the level of intelligence and knowledge already that the foreign minister and the president and his other ministers of the with other ministers to do as will head off the case much more that my government was willing to meet they do know although given the evidence has met no understanding. or deliberately strip is if you to the people there was very warm. i feel very comforted by being with these good people i feel that they consider chilly was to you and. they have expressed that they believe the case is political and it. really disgraceful the way that the rule of law is being abused and the use of my son's

human rights and equal rights and. they are going to be looking at every detail. so they can make it sound decision and they're leaving no stone unturned to find out the truth and that's all i can ask of them at this stage the documents there in paris by wiki leaks have been incredibly useful for many of us doing investigative reporting in latin america because of course they are disclosed all kinds of. different evidence of us meddling in the affairs of other countries in the region and particularly against those that have progressive governments. yes if i didn't have much time you've got but the world the world country with one cable that moves me the most with the haiti cable if you read the page it live in terror yeah many of them are clear americans and for the us to take advantage of a country that was guy the poor country that was going through the roof because quite could introduce their blackmail live to try and get immunity for wage

attempts day out. refused it i. block attempts by venezuela to reduce the cost of oil to sixty percent so that eighty could deal with hospitals and schools and into the u.s. embassy to syndicate will back from haiti to the u.s. so the gold rush is on to the same u.s. contractors who were found doubling quotes and brought in after hurricane katrina. after i read that code what was it and. i looked at others but that was the one that i think touched my heart the most. of the lack of effects. in the brutal materialism to do that to country it's a whole country suffering with that amount of destress we thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview at us today thank you.

fighting to finish top of the league and as well as the squad we have a set of highly qualified coaches that's why i think there's no doubt in it with such players we must be contention to finish top. level staying with football and former england star david beckham was left out of great britain's olympic squad but instead he's in the usa preparing for a friendly against former side rail madrid the thirty seven year old is back in training after taking part in last friday's and putting some day back in his club the los angeles galaxy will be hoping for that of revenge after losing at the hands of the spanish signed two years ago the midfielder is due to return to london for the closing ceremony a lot before that he's relishing the prospect of taking on rio. you know i've been on both sides of the fence you know observe played for real madrid and match you know i think coming over here enough play for the galaxy against both teams so. you know it's always it's always a game that you know young players look forward to because you come up against some of the best players and obviously one of the best managers in football and you know

the experience of playing in these games is succession for the kids so yeah of course i enjoy it. and finally sailing in russia's all take has been almost inaccessible to foreigners until a few a few years eos came up with a solution designed to attract tourists to the world's biggest country reports from the peta the first. to raise eighty degrees consists of course the first days cruise in company in other words he said these are groups that take you to places in northern russia a very few have seen before it starts all britain saying. does america not how i'm going to three weeks later now the second port is by far more extreme and only the most experienced crews will get some make that voyage which will culminate at the a.t.f. parallel at the friends joseph labs camps and sands eighteen point five meter bermuda sloop is right for the cold peter the first back in two thousand and ten the crew became the first sailing boat to circuit in navigate the arctic circle without

a nice breaker but their current plan is just as daring and near insurmountable well at least for now realizing that it got more good i was initially set up in order to jumpstart our tourism in russia took up until may of this year for in boats needed a special decree by the prime minister in order to access russian waters while all flags are now welcome here the mechanism is still far from running smoothly adventure races help for the second time this year and we proved that it's possible to have eight yachts from poland germany norway finland and russia began their trip in st petersburg visiting and number of sites on the way to our high gets over it for a week period but the trip for your strewed he began in the harbor of solid it's good islands where i found out that one does not have to be a professional sailor or extremely wealthy in order to visit one of the world's most unchartered territory french tourists pierre and maya instantly became one with the crew and will bring back some unforgettable memories from the white sea in

the north of russia i need to still to digest everything that happened for the past three weeks because i actually didn't get time to prepare so it came on me really suddenly and that it was really a fantastic trip great organization and great places and really a discovery of many things i had that very much wanted to see three long weeks of deprivation finally ended for the cruisers in that hunt gets most locals witnessed their arrival for interest in such fashion for the first time and it now seems that young thing in this previously hard to access. area could not become the next hot spot for northern sailing fans from all over the world. russia is hoping. this was the last blast permission from prime minister is quite crazy to forget the voter wants to go across the russia. prime minister and.

free for a year six yachts will go on their own way and start they excrete arctic adventure race record breaking flagship peter the first is one of the boats and german yacht loon accounts and by a brave woman astrid is the other getting acquainted with russian culture along the route was probably secondary to her and invaluable multiple experience from captain dan took center stage closer to the departure beyond the arctic circle the major reason is to go to france he was a friend so. it was a way to make it possible to go to france and we have to come to a. second part of presidential race. you know it's such a beautiful landscape so why don't come back again so and i would review the. time whenever it's possible the arctic adventure will wrap up on the fourth of august answer peter the first and luna will have traveled nearly two thousand miles but

scamps and dan and the rest of his crew are already hoping next year's voyage will attract more foreigners into russia's northern waters remark offering or to sell its and their hunger it. has all the sports news by foot. that.
