this is our top stories ecuador gets overwhelming support from fellow american nations in its route with britain over. condemning efforts to undermine the sanctity of embassies. egypt's new leader extend the hand of friendship to china and iran a gesture is seen as the country breaking away from washington's influence. and brand new talks between iran and the us a time i watched all come to nothing i would see as interim that giving assistance to the agency coming. up next an hour to president exclusively shares his view on how the standoff with britain might pan out and what price his country might pay for backing julian assange.

why did ecuador get involved in all this by standing up for julian assange the country is exposing itself to risk according to the media one of the reasons for the delay in granting him asylum was ecuador's fear of a possible u.s. response is this true. or not a tool we just wanted to address the request in a very thorough and responsible way we'll look to the motivations for mr sanchez asylum did looked into the charges brought against him in sweden were reviewed u.k. law as well as international law and of course we went to a religious lation then we made a responsible decision just as we promised originally after the olympics specifically because they were taking place in london and not because of fear of reprisals which we knew might follow them we will always be guided by principles and values not fear. what consequences might ecuador face after granting asylum

to julian assange which normally such a decision shouldn't have any consequences that is if all countries respect international law which clearly says that the state has the right to grant asylum how many times has sweden granted asylum a lot of people requested asylum in sweden and leave the noun this country is known for its willingness to give asylum what consequences could there be but unfortunately in this particular case we see that some countries are displaying their colonial and imperial ambitions their ethnocentricity they turns out that if ecuador grants asylum to someone it certainly might have consequences what consequences are we talking about if we're exercising our sovereignty in line with international law. are you afraid of any sanctions that might follow there is definitely no fear but let's face it there might be reprisals which would be terrible if the u.k. for example acts on these threats and invades our embassy to arrest the sanj but

can you imagine how big of a precedent this would set mr president some media have suggested that the decision to grant asylum to julian assange is nothing more than what those attempt to improve the country's international image and what is this international image i don't know anything about it fortunately in our country seventy five to eighty percent of the power belongs to the people no matter what some dishonest and immoral media trying to say that certain power groups use them to tell lies about what's going on they say the reason new freedom of speech in ecuador is there is no freedom of speech how would they be able to communicate this idea they contradict themselves with this build world knows that latin america including ecuador is going through historical changes right now so we are finally witnessing social justice equality sovereignty and dignity there are some power groups that oppose these changes mind you these groups are very influential some of them own media

outlets they constantly conduct smear campaigns trying to discredit our government i want to ask you a question how many days have you been in ecuador. no more than three i think have you feel that any of your reports have been banned or censored the time you felt like that was censored ships have you been told for example that you cannot publish certain stories as your excess the information being restricted in any way. of course not this is the reality but these power groups both national and international are constantly campaigning against us trying to discredit our government because ecuador in latin america are changing and changing for the better thank god mr president in your interview with julian assange in his programme on our channel you said he's invited to the club of the persecuted do you feel like you're being persecuted are you afraid as i've said every day wake up and have to guess what lies the media will cook up today in ecuador there are six

families that own the whole media business and there are several other major businesses that belong to them are new constitutional reform bend the media from being involved in any other business activities except for being the source of information as they called it infringing on freedom of the press we want to avoid the conflict of interest and that was considered infringing on freedom of speech and whatever is in line with laurent ethics but is at odds with the interests of the media dictatorship that used to exist in ecuador is considered infringing on freedom of speech we would like the world to understand what is really going on in ecuador the things that the needed us here would be unacceptable in such countries as the u.k. russia the us for example the murder case in the u.k. if something similar happened in ecuador and the people responsible were brought to justice this would be called infringing on freedom of speech you have to understand that the median let in america have always been very corrupt it supported the

pinochet regime the dictatorship in argentina and so on conflicting interests when every day occurrence there was even a clear pattern having become a successful businessman you set up your own channel not to keep the population in . but to protect your business interests now everything is changing and i've become the target of daily criticism of regular smear campaigns no one believes them though when julian assange has mother came to ecuador did you have a chance to talk to her yes of course christine is a wonderful person isn't she we gave her a warm welcome and it was a pleasure to talk to her deter visit to ecuador influence your decision to grant julian assange asylum in any way. no we didn't all decision was made in accordance with international law and was based on expert those traditions of humanism as well as the grounds that mr sanchez presented to support his request for political asylum we met with christine she's a very nice woman but it in no way influenced our decision. mr

president it's hard to believe that julian assange had no contact with ecuador in the fischel prior to requesting political asylum because he needed to be certain that there were dory an embassy would ensure his safety did you discuss this option with him before hand. no we didn't i didn't talk to mr sands personally but if i'm not mistaken at some point the situation became suit hands that he said he was thinking about seeking asylum in an embassy the haps even in ecuador's embassy was sure he would be allowed to stay when he entered the embassy so i think mr sanchez discussed it with the embassy staff since he i believe entered after hours so they must have been expecting him any person seeking asylum in ecuador as embassies will be safe we will see to their needs but after that we will consider granting them asylum with all due fairness if the person in question is a criminal we will never grant asylum to him but why do you think julian assange

strolls ecuador and not another country only mr sands can answer that and the fact he did is the best response to this smear campaign and to the people who maintain we have a new freedom of speech the man whose freedom of speech personally fight requested asylum in ecuador it's the best response to organize how long do you think will julian assange should be staying in the embassy in theory indefinitely unless the u.k. goes ahead with its threats to raid our embassy to arrest him as you know the threat is in a written form and the u.k. hasn't revoked it do you think they drill a go as far as that i think it will be pure insanity on the part of the u.k. after doing so any of their embassies could be raided and what will they say then what kind of repercussions would such development have we would immediately server our diplomatic ties of chords i think it would lead to a backlash in all the latin american countries but i maintain that the u.k.

has more to lose after that how would you prevent the same from happening to the u.k. embassies around the world and i assure you the u.k. has more diplomatic missions than ecuador. if the u.k. doesn't give permission for julian assange just safe passage to aqua door how will he get there in a diplomatic they call no which would be impossible if he leaves the embassy he can be arrested by the you can't police i'm not an expert on this but i would think this even if you are in a car with diplomatic license plates you're still at the mercy of the driver and who knows what you will agree to in any case no one is trying to hide his son from the swedish prosecution which we need guarantees that he would not be extradited to a third country why do you think sweden refused ecuador's proposal to question a sound at the embassy even via skype as has been done before why this is widely accepted legal in practice it has been done many times before and that's why the ecuadorian embassy proposed this to the swedish prosecution we invited them to come

to the embassy and question mr sands in person isn't that what they've been trying to do all along they denied our offer so what are we supposed to think now percent of the so many countries and organizations have supported ecuador's decision to grant asylum to sound including nassau and most of the alba nations in what we did they express their backing to support we have enjoyed has been primarily due to britain's diplomatic clumsiness i hope you will excuse my language but i just cannot find another word to put it the british threatened us with storming our embassy to arrest mr son and this is what has united all the nations in south america and other continents in their desire to stand behind ecuador confronted as it was with such a barbaric prospect such threats are unacceptable have they been carried out this would have constituted a violation of one of the fundamental principles of international law the inviolability of diplomatic premises it was this threats rather than our eventual asylum decision that has prompted such widespread support in our favor from the

valley very an alliance of the americas and the union of south american nations what do you think could happen in the short term what. the possible scenarios i'm not an astrologist i'm an economist a lot will now depend on the u.k. in sweden our position remains the same and we are open to dialogue all we want is a guarantee that mr looney face those charges that were brought against him in sweden and will not be extradited to third countries or they could give him safe passage from the ecuadorian embassy in london. will ecuador stand behind us no matter what consequences might follow and once we granted asylum to mr son he's under the protection of. everything to make sure this protection is effective thank you mr president.

far corner. slam and village had subbed an ineffective roman pavlyuchenko at half time for d.m. and boy and was rewarded when the senegalese strike ahead of home to equalise for the second time however a resurgent anomaly had the last laugh when christian the boa popped in a glancing header over and on shushan. did have one last chance to even the scores go forward by a last ditch clearance of the line after injuring one of the worst league starts it was understandable that the camp wasn't too emotionally overcome opting for a more cautious attitude in light of the current plight. of them we want to find the. the long awaited victory which i think will give us a morale and physical boost that's why this week is very sports you toss them aside on the spot. milledge put the blame firmly on his players admitting that the namo simply wanted to win more than his own players. did not get a single point from the first five games which he doesn't want to see of the side

that if i wouldn't say today was a matter of luck knowing i want much and maybe we could have gotten an equaliser at the end but today we see my leg of the number but naturally the players were also disappointed with the result. being too many mistakes or should. it be. to get him to retire. so look i want to moscow's gratian revolution has been derailed somewhat by local rivals do now moscow in the two three defeat here at home this gives demo the first win of the season and they'll go into next week's game against the band with a new confidence village's men however will have to pick themselves up really quickly because they face another darby in spartak moscow drink it was he.

think we are ready for tomorrow and finally kick boxing and the fifth edition of the w five fight a tournament was held on friday night here in the russian capital but it was too ukrainian up and comers to forty that on the night but on your report. the devil you fight for there is a new russian martial arts tournament and still far from the biggest fighting stage twice the kind of event that incoming kickboxers need to build up their names for my my you it is one of ukraine's biggest hopes and on friday night the twenty year old face another test on his quest to reach the summit there were some old scores to settle with the russian denis law to go that you first met last may it was the ukrainian thunder who know the bell in the extra room and this time out letting go was standing in his way once again and out for revenge. for in the ice.

it's. just so. explicit .
