from phones to these. stunts on t.v. dot com. this is also you coming to life for most of the headlines. the u.n. envoy to syria says his questioning with kofi anon blaming the international community's failure to unite to find a peaceful solution to the conflict this comes as the bottle for the syrian city of aleppo is about to enter its main phase according to figure. while the mainstream wastes and media coverage of the conflict has brought relations of violence from some in syria rebel atrocities are going to launch your own report while the lion the blame for the killing is being placed on skates. on the controversial trial of members a women's punk band charged over onto

a government stunt on the main altar that's the federal and moscow is to hear explanations for their cues to and those with us to replace arrived members are due to begin proceedings the defense. next step exclusively speaks to weaken legs whistleblowers mother christina song about the fight for her son and america's role in the pros. 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 it but also on his life and and you as his mother 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

repressive regimes to be able to whistleblowers citizen whistle blows to be able to get the truth out about some of the abuses that were happening inside the country and for us that's what happened and he suckles and the way in which he was it would work but then when the documents kind to the wiki leaks struck books on america things all changed this summer is that it was all right to produce documents that other countries that is in the united states was embarrassed his life became three . so i have two reactions one is the mother of course i wish she'd never done and said nothing but as a citizen having visited with helixes. to transparency the world that the pieces of corruption kidnapping extortion.

torture. and for involved big financial institutions of course i completely support my son so can you talk a little bit about your son who is joining us and. his knowledge of what a lot of the media says he is. it is a very simple living this has started over to really stick and yes quite even still has quite limited water and. the only way we can lick snakes if we can exist and not not for profit organization and they are on modest wages including julian. so this was not in any way to create it. and the financial impact some people say is. it's actually quite a shock to some. only which kind of the media with me really when the. interview sort of been away when the american disclosures came out because he

needed to feed which. and. so it's not really his way to the front of the cameras. and if you knew him personally you would find that he's a little different from from what you see in front of cameras it is much more relaxed his has a very good sense of humor. he would smile or laugh what did you imagine i mean growing up or even in his early adult years that this is something that he could have done had he wanted to be a physicist. and. molecular physicists and these other words work 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 his always been to that truth in some form. of his scientific truth or philosophical truth. so he hasn't credibly hiree

miller and even the little boy. his question was always why on earth is very inquiry is actually quite a creative person when he was about five he used to wake up the harmonica and play blues how very very intellectually he can also draw a bit of fire in essence person but chosen to direct it and he can write beautifully and so he's chosen to direct his energies into we keep the x. which is a bicycling. journalism combined with ingenuity. is a good father who is the young father and many people don't realize this that. at a certain point julian says. that his son's mother was unable to care for. julia a son and his fifteen and. was a single father we need news. and he had to sell custody of his son from the time

he was a day not so 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 this worked part time after that so that he could be his own fan as he just had one child there too his two children but i don't want to talk back of course because i'm. to protect the family there now or do you think that your son's life is in danger absolutely. from the beginning. from the u.s. from politicians and from. news commentary this was screaming out his mood out in the most brutal way. this interview no. hilltop at all in how they were feeling. calling out for for google for this of murder inciting move against myself. and still in the last few weeks.

there's been a fox news because in total because fox news kool k.t. mcfarland who was screaming out for julian six a commission this is somebody who is not writing the war and has done nothing more than any good in this a good journalist would do just to be an interesting one is one very waterfall where you are now quite obviously advocating for your son are you here particularly to advocate for his political asylum request is the authority mr invited me so that i could speak to him that there were going knew that the conditions in this trial for example by the government has been injured him can you talk a little bit about that yes well unfortunately for australia. we have. of one minister who is really can only really be described as a puppet for the us who prove all writing 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 strata to speak about a case and commits judgment upon a person prior to a trial she jeopardized his right to due to the resumption of innocence by saying that what he did was even. she actually proved preceded the american government in the statements and. despite the fact that this trial in federal police. some two weeks later. after this decided that julian had broken no laws at all in a strata and the u.s. treasury had refused to blacklist wiki leaks because they could find no crime that had been commuted this trial in prime minister julia gillard. continued to defy my son in the media do you think that the australian government would hand over to the

united states if they had the part of our day of doing so absolutely you know this is a great concern given that the united states has been labeling its own citizens as little terrorists. so with that with america being within the top five countries executing their own citizens in the world and that actually is go ahead it seems like a seven. from one hundred year to ninety eighty year. this is a great concern and 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 secret grand journeys against him in the united states and request for severe punishment against him what do you think would happen to jury and if he were actually to the united states well ahead sophist head if emotional what the sludge have been apart from up to doing to one of their own

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. and one of the other speakers was at his trial you called david hicks who it's been six using guantanamo bay now. president obama came to office with the promise of closing down guantanamo bay but it hasn't been cause and effect this thirty billion dollars with the fiberoptics going to go as we speak. n.j. we're told lee told all the all you guys about his treatment in guantanamo bay and this is something that we could expect to do if not worse because david hicks was a very might apply so. i'm terrified what will happen to myself. so kristina here in ecuador or to support his request for political asylum you've

met with the foreign minister met with the president do you think that he's going to get political asylum here i can't 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 up with other ministers to do as will head off the coasts much more that my government is willing to reach if they do know although given the evidence has met no understanding. or deliberately stripper's if you two people there was very warm. i feel very confident going to be with these good people i felt that the concert for chile was genuine. 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 legal 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 don't have much time you've got that the one the one country one cable that moved me the bird space to haiti cable which we had to live in terror yeah many of them share clear answers for us to take advantage of a country that was guy. the whole country was going through the speakers quite ok and she used that black bow only to try and get the minimum wage attempts down

all or refused to i and to block attempts by venezuela to be just the cost of oil to sixty percent so that he could kill these hospitals and schools and then for the us embassy to send a cable back from haiti to the usa the gold rush is on to the same us contractors who were found doubling quotes and drawing after hurricane katrina. after i read that kind and that was it and i looked at others but that was the one that i think touched my heart the most. of the lack of ethics. and the brutal materialism to do that to a country it's a whole country suffering with that amount of distress or thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview with us today thank you.

well. technology innovation all the developments

around russia we've gone. over. the top stories and also the un envoy to syria says he's questioning with kofi i'm not blaming the international community's fadia to unite to find a peaceful solution to the conflicts this comes as the boss of the syrian city of aleppo is about to enter its main phase according to them. while the mainstream western media coverage of the conflict has brought accusations of bias from some in syria rebel atrocities are going on reported while the lion's share of the blame for the killing is being placed on. the controversial trial of members of a women's punk bands charged over an anti government stunt in the main draw in moscow to hear explanations from the accused or the noise from the three priests and ride members are due to begin presenting the defense all. the time down for

a few enthusiasts came up with a solution designed to attract tourists to the world's biggest country and one course of now reports from on board the pay to. big venture racing eighty degrees consists of two course the first is cruz and company in other words he said leisure trip that takes into places in northern russia very few have seen before it starts over in st petersburg and not harm gets three weeks later now the second port is by far more extreme and only the most experienced crews will get some make that voyage show which will culminate at the a.t.'s parallel at the france joseph lance captain sands eighteen point five metre bermuda sloop is right for the cold peter the first back into one hundred ten the crew became the first sailing boat to circuiting navigate the arctic circle with down to a nice breaker but their current plan is just as daring and near insurmountable well at least for now as much as many got for regatta was initially set up in order

to jumpstart tourism and russia up until may of this year foreign boats needed a special to creep 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 call it that it's possible they 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 one hundred guests 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 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 so 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 that i had very much wanted to see. three long weeks of deprivation finally ended for the truth there's enough gets most locals witnessed their rival for interest in such fashion for the first time and it now seems that yachting 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 bus permission from prime minister is quite crazy to forget the old who wants to go across to russia. at all for a prime minister and. free for a year six yachts will go on their own way and simple story they excrete arctic

adventure race record breaking flagship peter the first is one of the boats and german yacht luna counseled by a brave woman straight is the other getting acquainted with russian culture along the route was probably secondary to her and invaluable nautical 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 you have to come to a. second part of it when stories. where it's such a beautiful landscape so why don't come back again so and i would really make a sort of 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 captain dan and the rest of his crew are already hoping next year's voyage will attract the foreigners into russia's northern waters remarkable
