welcome back this is our c it would trickle the headlines. divisions deepen at the u.n. as the lion's share of its members condemned the security council for failing to counter the syrian crisis russia says the trail assembly resolution is a one sided and super was beyond opposition. would see were it peace mediator kofi annan heading for the exit of fears not into the conflict torn country will sink into and unabated blood dolls fighting rages on in aleppo and several other ditches with the rebel reportedly receiving a growing flow of weapons and equipment from abroad. and outs of it in israel pulled one all out of more big government offices announcing amounts of well

against economic policies tonight in the council so the cabinet is blamed for the relentless spending and was the final settlement construction while ignoring debilitating domestic issues. on top textiles he speaks exclusively to the mother with a week in makes whistleblower juno a song about the fight for her son and america's role in the process. well thank you very much christine have 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 that but also on his life and and your 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 the.

people in a repressive regime to be able to whistleblowers see this and this is closed to get the truth out about some of the abuses that were happening in the country and. that's what happened and he saw what is in the way in which he was it would work but then when the documents kind to you we keep an extra books on america. and. raise it. she produced documents that other countries that this is the united states was embarrassed his life became three. i have two reactions one is the mother of course i wish she'd never done as a nothing but as a citizen hadn't visited with he lives is down to the intense fear is it the world at the gates of corruption kidnapping extortion.

torture. and fraud involved big financial institutions of course this is my son so can you talk a little bit about your son who has joined us and. his knowledge to walk a lot of the media says he is. has a very simple easy this has started over to really stick and it is quite even still has quite litigious. and the only way we can make snakes if you mix is 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. he's actually quite a shock to some. only which in fact of the media when the really when the. in a few years of being away when the american disclosures came out 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 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 what he wanted to be a physicist. and. the occulus physicist 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 being his always been about truth in some form. it was scientific truth or philosophical truth. so he has credibly inquiry and even the

little hallway. his question was always why on earth is the inquiry has actually quite a creative person when he would sit out 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 a person that chosen to direct it and it can write beautifully so he's chosen to direct his energies 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 this that. that is a certain point julian's. with his son's mother was unable to care for. julian assange and his fifty and. it was a single father minutes 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 in this work part time after that so that he could be his own fan as he just had one child there to his two children but i don't want to talk back of course because i'm trying to protect the family and that now 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 all they were screaming at his news in the most brutal way this interview no. filter at all on how they were feeling. calling out for the brutal force of murder inciting mood against myself. and still in the last few weeks. has

been a fox news is in total because fox these kooks hate fallon who was screaming at julian six occasions this is somebody who is not writing the war and it's done nothing more than any good in this to give to us which is to be an interesting one is one 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 by 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 this as a puppet for the us who prove already is twenty seven percent of people are not

happy with it 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 pro-choice trial she jeopardized his right to due to the presumption of innocence by saying that what he did was if. 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 to do it had broken no laws at all in a strange land and the us. had refused to politically switch to x. because they could find no crime that it being commuted to stay 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 possibility of doing something similar. this is a great concern given that the united states has been labeling its own citizens which is low level to us. so with that with america being in the top five countries executing their own citizens in the world and that actually is go ahead and since no sivan. from what he two nine hundred eighty you know. 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. journeys against him in the united states in requests for severe punishment against him what do you think would happen to julian if he were actually to the united states. had sophist who for emotional what

work was lucky to have been apart from what to do each one of the soldiers bradley manning. which the un report on torture says is cruel and inhumane treatment and very concerned i was on the payroll. cambridge capital city. 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 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. a bit told me it told all the or you guys of the history to guantanamo bay and this is something that we could expect that you were if not worse because david hicks was a very mild reply so. terrified 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 all they've been given the evidence has no understanding. or deliberately strip is it you to the people there was very was. i feel very confident by being with these good people i feel that the concern for julian 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 in the views of my son's

human rights and equal rights and. they are going to be looking at if we. 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 with this judge the documents they're impaired 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 one the one country with one cable that moves me the most with the haiti cable if you read ahead to live in terror yeah many of them are clear americans and for the us to take advantage of a country that was guy a poor country that was going through the roof because quick and she used that blackmail when she tried to get the minimum wage attempts

a day out. refused in the eye. to block attempts by venezuela to reduce the cost of oil to sixty percent so that they could do with hospitals and schools and then for the u.s. embassy to syndicate pull back from haiti to the u.s. so the gold rush is on to the same u.s. contractors who were found doubling quotes in routing after hurricane katrina. after it dad had met was it when i looked at others that that is the one that i think touched my heart the most. of the lack of effects. and the brutal materialism to do that to country it's a poor country suffering with that amount of disgrace we thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview with us today thank you.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

little stories on altie divisions deepen at the u.n. as been lion's share of its members condemned the security council proclaiming to counter the syrian crisis russia says the general assembly resolution is one sided and supports the opposition. what serious piece mediates a country are not heading for the exit fee is moms the conflict torn country will sink into an updated and not thought of rages on in aleppo and several other cities with the rebels reportedly receiving a growing flow of weapons and equipment. and it's a nato call for an all out the one big government thing amounts to rally against economic policy tonight in the capital the cabinet is blamed for its relentless the spending on settlements construction on the disputed land while ignoring the debilitating domesticated. maggs do you know his joining is here with us.

false news and plenty of extra olympic harmed luggage i did by team russia on friday you know and there certainly was yes six medals in all day seven all silver intriguingly enough more not coming up right. here with us this is indeed sports of a plenty head over the next ten minutes or so including these stories and great. finish further success on day seven of the olympics insurer's risk due to team will end up in the sports game. going for gold reassurance of a person face arena williams later on somber day in the olympic committee's final taking place wimbledon. off the mark you boys more don't make light work of

us golf to record their first points of the russian premier league season. team russia have finished off the opening week of olympic action with their biggest medal haul all of the game six silver gongs coming on friday including once again on the judo with the details of a fruitful day seven here is former. the russia today team have finished easy lympics pretty much as they started them on the high alexander me hellene grabbing a silver in the very final back at these games the goal did go to france's teddy rina at almost seven feet tall big ted is his nickname but there's nothing cuddly about the five time world champion his defensive skills for straight he lost on accumulated points however his medal doesn't show russia finishes the most successful team at these games beating powerhouses france and south korea with three goals a silver and a bronze. i think the most crucial factor of our success was that we

got off to a very good start our single stunt claim the first gold on the very first day of the games and there was a great message for all of what i can so can you that's what inspired the whole team. there were five other silver medals for russia on friday and two of their use came in weightlifting and a remarkable one came from the tires of the last noir she only joined the team at the last minute after oksana still vanka dropped out with injury and only just lost in the gold to kazakstan put it better for. exam and they told me right on the eve of the olympics that oksana wouldn't be able to go to the games and then i would be go in instead and it was a massive shock i had already booked a holiday it when i got to london i couldn't even imagine i was here but it is just fantastic to win a man of any sort. teammate heart of got the silver in the men's eighty five

kilogram section poland's a dream zelinsky winning the gold there there were medals in the pool too but no prizes for guessing the color how you going to put it to shine getting a silver in the men's hundred metres butterfly along with south africa's child lacrosse after both finished with the same time america's unstoppable markel phelps won it he's now got seventeen a limp eight gold medals while i'm sissies you are. second place in the women's two hundred metres backstroke behind the american missy franklin he set a new world record. downfield i lost out to someone who broke the world record but i managed to get a silver medal with an excellent result and for me in a way this was just like getting a cold and i don't i taken a great step forward and especially after the hundred meters where i didn't do myself justice so i'm really glad that i managed to turn things around in the two hundred meters and win the matter. elsewhere jumping for joy as russian trampoline

dimitri he got a silver behind china's two time world champion dong dong and was proud of his performance as. the chinese have been strong for a number of years now and the almost always come first or second so for me to get on the podium is a good achievement. and there is that least another silver only its way in tennis that's because maria sharapova is through to the final she beat her compact for it maria kirilenko and one next play the american serina williams however there has been some bad news there is there has been another drug scandal at the games and it has involved russian track cyclists victoria about an over she was due to take part in friday's kiran and was ranked second in that but was sent home after testing positive for testosterone the international olympic committee saying she has admitted to taking a banned substance well that was unwelcome news but russia's athletes did provide a very thick silver lining and the country's medal tally is now up to three gold

twelve silver and eight bronze and three farmer. london not a bad day at all now under has been busy here earlier met up with sprint long jump legend carl lewis to talk about probably the most anticipated event of the games the one hundred meters men's final among other things. col i know you don't my 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 especially 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 will psychology is an important part mentally you always very very strong how important is it that you know how blake goes into this race since the one hundred meters knowing that he's already

beaten both twice well you know it's interesting because i don't really know at all but i've 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 ford or any race is a race that has to be run and we have a famous commentator that the united states named john madden 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 it's 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 and everything now you were one of the last asked lisa competes against the great soviet union. how important is it the thing to establish the rivalry 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 good it's korea some of the greatest television sports television in history back in the states was the usa russia to me iran and usa russia dorm mates and usa east german dual meets i did that 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 boogy think that said russia should try and i mean i tend to thing that the london games are doing considering they have the sochi games and also the athletics world. championships in twenty thirty 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 these 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 can get back to the people and the ones they don't need to then take away that's ok but this games is going to be a part of this community forever and i think it's a wonderful idea. let's talk

football where newly promoted more dovi i have claimed their first points of the premier league season here in russia the surround side beating rust off three nil at home games against. coming up this month but over a new result last night was paramount and finds the if to me also post free kick it got off to a superb start after just ten minutes. becoming even more difficult early in the second half a tally daya cough a shining into his own net after month after goal was pari by the goalkeeper. then deep into stoppage time the home side wrapped up a comprehensive victory. in the blasting home and over the us off the mark for the free meal when they moved up to eleventh rostov fourteen now with one point from three games. and finally russia jr i saw her in the host of the next week the four game tournaments will celebrate the fortieth anniversary of

legendary summit series michael moore. i 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 the commemorative it for the players there is important as the original. coming out this 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 defend i said give has been drafted into the tampa bay lightning as has goalkeeper see if

skate where the buffalo sabers have snapped up forward mikail grigori and but one of the most promising newcomers to the n.h.l. has to be eighteen year old you could put drafted first overall by the edmonton oilers i'm pretty excited to be here with national team i think we have three. great hockey games. play hard play good then we have a system that will help all we got to play. against that's not what so i.q. germany seem like you know just play our game while the kind of the russian challenge is obviously out of march to the legendary super series from one hundred seventy two there's also a point reason why the russian leg of the series will be held in the outer slough it's of course to commemorate the tragedy of the two thousand and eleven ad disaster with claims the lives of the entire got a slot for kicks. 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 yaroslavl on the eighth and ninth of august and then again in halifax canada on the thirteenth and fourteenth of august michael of genco. moscow region. has all the sports i'll see you in iran four hours time for more us weather is next .
