around the world from central moscow this is r t it's very good to have you company top stories tonight general assembly condemns the security council's inaction on the violence by huge majority russia votes against what it calls an imbalance document that says the battle for syria's second city aleppo gets increasingly bloody. tear gas and stun grenades in bahrain the government leads a fresh crackdown against long running protests as activists try and cut off from the highway the demos against the ruling regime began nearly eighteen months ago but a little attention from the world community. called a political stunt in russia. and its defense we're going to charged with

hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and face up to seven years in jail if convicted. he speaks exclusively to the mother of wiki leaks julian assange who's fighting to save his son from vengeful american politicians. thank you very much christine i have from 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 power 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 whistleblower citizen whistle blows 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's like was 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 for some reason it was all right to produce documents that other countries versus 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 as a mother. but as a citizen having this because if we kill exist today in transparency it will be 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. he's not sure what a lot of the media says he's. she is a very simple easy this has started over to really stick and then she is quite even still has quite a litigious wardrobe. the only way we collect snakes if we can exist and none not for profit organization and they are on modest wages including julian. so this was not in any way to create it. and financial impact some people say this. is actually quite a shock to some. only which kind of the media with me really when the. in a fit sort of big way when the american disclosures came out because he needed to do

in which he did. and. so it's not really his way to kind of the cameras. and if you knew him personally you would find that it's a little different from what you'd see in front of cameras it is 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 had 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 his always been to that truth in some form. of his scientific truth or philosophical truth. so he has an incredibly high remind even from a little boy. his question was always why and it is very inquiry is actually quite

a creative person when he was doubt five he used to pick up the harmonica and play blues how very very actually he can also draw a bit of odessa is a person that chosen to direct it and he can write beautifully and so he's chosen to direct his energies into a key 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. that a certain point julian says. that his son's mother was unable to care for. julia son and his fifty and. was a single father you need to use. and he had to sell custody of his son from the time he was a day months old and he gave up his studies. i 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 does he just have one child due to his two children but i don't want to talk of course because i'm trying to protect the family and there are no 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 while they seem to be no. hilltop at all in how they were feeling. calling out for the group full force of murder in such a move against myself. and still in the last few weeks. there's been a fox news is in total because fox news cool k.t.

mcfarland who was screaming out to 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 which is 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 due to him can you talk a little bit about that yes well unfortunately for australia. we have a. of one minister who is really can only really be described as a puppet for the us who approve 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 their 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 media do you think that out the australian government would hand julian over to the united states if they had the part about of doing so absolutely. 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 that actually is go ahead it seems like a seven. from one hundred year to nine hundred eighty year. this is a great concern so you're sam 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 juries against him in the united states and request for severe punishment against him what do you think would happen to julian if he were actually to the united states well i had to first hand you emotionally what work was lucky to 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 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. in david told me told all the all you guys about his treatment guantanamo bay and this is something that we could expect if you were 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 does will head off the case much more that my government is willing to admit they do know all they've been given the evidence has no understanding of. or deliberately strippers if you two people there was very warm. i felt very confident going to be with these good people i felt that the concern 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 has been 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 at 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 u.s. 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 moves me the boats with the haiti cable which we had to live in ten minutes yeah many of them share a clear answer 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 in you know why age attempts down.

or refused if i am to block attempts by davis why it ought to be just the cost of oil to sixty percent so that i could kill these hospitals and schools and into the u.s. embassy to syndicate go back from haiti to the u.s. side the gold rush is on to the side of u.s. contractors who were found doubling quotes in broaching after hurricane katrina. after i read that kaiden that was it and i looked at others but that is the one that i think touched my heart most. of the neck all it takes. and the brutal material is to do that to country it's a whole country suffering with that amount of disgrace thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview at us today thank you.

hello welcome to the fridays full round up with me treats until the headlines. silverware the target how to lie of wins russians a good judo gold alex on the decline in ads and still but with it you don't got among one of three second place finishes on day seven. while going for gold maria sharapova will face the reader when used in the olympic final at wimbledon as the russian third tse-tung a golden grand slam. and the last to write it would be a beaut all star three now it's time to record their first points at the new russian premier league season. but first to the olympics where russia has taken three silver medals on day seven of the london olympics alexander mccullough followed up russia's success in judo by

taking silver in the men's plus one hundred kilogram category behind frenchman ideally in a while. a lot now also trying to the silver medal in the women's seventy five kilogram category with kazakstan taking goals and elusive wrongs and in the men's trampoline dimitris i'm sure gone clean silver with chinese don't dong a new chance long taking gold and bronze respect a great. draw in the tennis at wimbledon maria sharapova beat combated maria kirilenko and will face arena williams in the final of the women's singles tournament up of a come to be very good olenka six two six three to ensure russia is guaranteed i the olympic gold or silver for the world number three is personally targeting a golden grand slam aiming to add feeling picked top gong or major wins it has a career however standing in the way is wimbledon champion serena williams who thrashed world number one victoria as aren't six one six to. twelve meanwhile there

was an epic encounter the man seventy finals where top seed roger federer finally overcame argentina's juan martin del potro after the longest match in the history to win a thirty six game third set match in four hours and twenty five minutes and the swiss will now take on the way they are between second seed novak djokovic of serbia and british the third seed and the murray whose once set up while on thursday russia trained their third gold and again on the judo match of year one the one hundred kilogram had to be final russian president and big if you don't believe you can see once in new orleans and still have your life reduced the performance is like. i still haven't realized what happened i just see people's happy faces around me the semifinal bolt was very tough and i was very tired have to go out probably that's why i've run out of motions. and there was finally some joy for russia she says after disappointing game site far as the theme or soon picked up bronze following a shoot off for the final podium spot in the track. which usually i'm happy to

claim a bronze medal it's also russia's first medal in shooting at these games and i hope it can boost our results in other disciplines because we've got many fourth places and that's probably the worst place to finish. now as us today will get our first glimpse of superstar springs are you saying bolt as the heats for the one hundred meters gets on the way it's the blue ribbon event of the olympics but hey you been out here pharma also one of the greatest track and field athletes of all time nine time olympic champion kala this. call i know you don't make predictions but can you tell us who might have an edge in one hundred ninety s. . i think that the story i don't think they predictions are exactly right because i don't want to get in the middle of the race but i will say i think the story that is not just about the hundred it's about the sprints and for what i see the american team i think is going to come out of this olympics showing their dominance again i think look at the most gold medals and the most medals in the sprints and

hurdles the stress if you had the hurdles of any country in the world so i think that'll really be the big story america's back ok so psychology is an important part mentally you always very very strong how important is it that you know how it goes into this rice since the one hundred meters knowing that he's already beaten bolt twice well you know it's interesting because i don't really know at all and i have never seen him run even on on television so i don't know but i think that the big issue is that one hundred meters or the two hundred or the four to any race is a race that has to be run and we have a famous commentator that the united states named john that used to always say you've got to play the game you've got to run the race because there's so many factors going on whether it's going to be a big factor is going to be cold it might even be raining at night so how is that going to affect people that may be the biggest game changer in everything. now you were one of the last astley's to compete against the great soviet union. how important is it the thing to establish the rive really rivalry like that in sport

and would you like to see russia back at the top of the medals table competing with the usa again oh yes absolutely i think it's chris korea some of the greatest television sports television in history back in the states was the usa russia doomy iran and usa russia dorm mates and usa east german dorm mates i did i love that representing our country in a in a man oh man no one on one i think would be great and i would love to bring that back and finally have you enjoyed your time in london hey and would you think that several should you should try and i mean i tell me thing that the london games are doing considering they have the sochi games and also the athletics world championships in twenty thirteen well i think it's been tremendous i love this games i mean i've had a great time and for us it's easy language is no problem it's kind of like right over there it's almost like it's home field advantage for us but i think the thing that i love the most about london is it's they've made they've been able to integrate this community into this games we know that they bring in tons and tons and tons of volunteers and we know all these people help but all these stadiums we

know that the stadiums are going to benefit the community and the ones are going to keep for the future they're going to go back to the people and the ones they don't need they're going to take away that's ok but this games is going to be a part of this community forever and i think that's a wonderful idea. balance of football and promoted more dire have claimed their first points of the season after a three no win at home to rust off in the russian premier league you have got it also pop open after just ten minutes early in the second half rostov task became even more difficult because through his own net to make it to no then deep into stoppage time the home so i racked up a comprehensive. climate should expect mordovia off the market up to eleven rostock are forty. one thirty who see things as you want to know times you dutch side of it as our name to take a first leg lead in the third qualifying round of the europa league a lecture out of finally brought the deadline for the home team after sixty three

minutes and was all small of maybe two nil ten minutes later while under a gag order in scores the ninety's many equaliser as deneuve i was going twice came from behind to draw two to a scottish side doesn't do united. handel's when you liverpool manager brendan rodgers got his right off to a winning start of the reds claim they won mildred revolution so i'm going to do to pluck one up was guilty of shooting wide midway through the second half and the hosts may have to pay for their wastefulness as downing blasted a long range beauty in the sixty eighth minute the victory means liverpool would take a vital away go down to the bank to answer the second leg next thursday. and in the meantime joins every new house crew david beckham's absence from great britain's team off to rail madrid one five one and l.a. galaxy in the first game of their four much us tour back in provided the cross for galaxies consolation gold and wales boss believes the thirty seven year old midfielder should have been in london thank his country instead. i don't

understand why he's not playing. i think you know. you would have thought what qualities to give human qualities to give. up your career tell ideal i simply was one of the best. sort of professional school to express what what is the ideal of. and. i'm so sorry is not. is not there. and finally rushes today i saw the team is preparing to house canada next week in a four game tournament celebrating the fortieth anniversary of election day summit serious as michael craft the reports. two of the world's dominant forces in ice hockey managed to pull off

a series of games back in one thousand nine hundred seventy two that changed the face of the sport since then russian canada have been neck and neck in trying to reach the summit these commemorative events have been just that though commemorative yet for the players there is important as the original. coming out that's come on this tournament is extremely important for me for the team and for russia it's two of the best ice hockey teams in the world going head to head with each other so of course it'll mean something plus it's the forty year anniversary of the original series. the russian team will have a decidedly and i shall feel when they take on that canadian counterparts the friend i gave has been drafted into the tampa bay lightning as has goalkeeper see if skip wears the buffalo sabers have snapped up forward mickael grigori and but one of the most promising newcomers to the n.h.l. has to be eighteen year old now you'll see a clip of drafted first overall by the edmonton oilers but i'm pretty excited to be

here with national team and i think we have three. great hockey games to play hard play good then we have a system so in that we know how we're going to play against canada against doesn't matter so i q germany you might know just where our game while the kind of the russia challenge is obviously on march to the legendary super series from like in seventy two there's also a point you know reason why the russian leg of the series will be held in the other slot it's of course to commemorate the tragedy of the two thousand revenue disaster which claimed the lives of the entire we had a slot for. of course such a tragedy can never be forgotten and through it the international hockey community has become closer it also shows the will of a city that's keen to put the past behind them overall there hasn't been much

between russian kind of in from members of summit series match ups of the past and that's exactly the kind of rivalry the players will no doubt thrive on when they clash in jaroslav on the eighth and ninth of august and then again in halifax canada on the thirteenth and fourteenth of august michael janko r.t. moscow region. and that's all for this friday life.
