from the very beginning well last night the un listened as the wiki leaks founder delivered his impassioned appeal to see the un to the people who were gathered there calling on the u.s. to end its persecution of wiki leaks and of the man himself now he spoke via satellite link from the ecuadorian embassy in london where he's being for more than three months now as he fights his extradition he just the u.n. assembly in the great gather there are t. we're exclusively in the embassy behind the scenes and exclusively broadcasting as julian assange has delivered his message to the world leaders who are gathered there spoke for about fifteen minutes and the main point that he made was the criticism of the u.s. and of president obama criticizing them for defending freedom of speech of being very outspoken about defending freedom of speech but then converse lipase keating

whistle blows and people he try and tell the cheese and he spoke certainly of his vassal wiki leaks possibile so the wider implications of the route that the u.s. is now taking. ration is in trying to recruit. a national regime of secrecy and national regime. and a regime where you need government employee reviewing sensitive information to a media organization can be sentenced to death life imprisonment or it's been ours now in recent us the classified documents it's been found that julian the sons and wiki leaks are officially enemies of the state and that anyone who works with them could be potentially persecuted now he spoke not only of his own ongoing battle but also the wider implications for whistle blows if the u.s. continues along this course of his or her further out there now as we've mentioned a party was exclusively broadcasting

now and that he and his government do not belong in the international community leader of the representative of qatar just twenty four hours ago say that if the special envoy to syria cannot find a peaceful resolution to the problem then plan b. should be a no fly zone the last time there was a no fly zone approved by the security council that led to military intervention into libya so this is a serious issue and we do know the position of the u.s. of friends of britain that have been pushing for the charlotte saad and his government to go in supporting the syrian opposition now russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said that it's quite concerning that western countries who are supporting the syrian opposition are increasingly turning the other way when violence and bloodshed is being perpetrated by rebels he said that this is a very dangerous pattern. of the latest attacks in syria andras even any jew

response from the u.n. security council because some of the western nations prefer to step back saying that in this case terror acts can be justified by people's desperation with the regime such a position is horrifying and may then she leads to justifying terror attacks over the world so there you have it it was just the most recent conversation taking place in the security council once again on syria a crisis that has been developing for more than eighteen months and still a huge division among the international community. now the iranian leader also warned against military involvement in the syrian conflict and after as address that was to world leaders of the general assembly during the speech itself mahmoud ahmadinejad said the world is in need of a new water and fresh thinking a good while to dot com to see what else he called for and who boycotted his dress that's now one of the most discuss topics on our website and you can log on and

spain is this year actually this month also about a million people onto the streets in barcelona is a call for independence away from madrid because a very tough time for spain as a whole particularly for the government of prime minister rudd boy as one of he's dubbed it is a crisis on top of a crisis as they're facing their own problems at the dock should people coming out to the streets in the tens of thousands to protest against how the government is handling austerity measures. or let's get some more now in catalonia is our push for independence from madrid and the austerity plight spain continues to face i'm now joined by alfonso lopez turner m.p. and spokesperson for the cattle and solidarity for independence party a pleasure to see you today sir thanks for coming on the program as i'm sure you were just listening to our report there from correspondent jake aggrieved catalans actually pointing to the imbalance between the tax they're paying and what the region gets in return do you think that's a big part of of the resentment and the frustration here you know that many

spanish officials when it comes to this but so do you think the spanish government itself would be willing to make any concessions in order to keep catalonia within the country's borders going through all their why and so we don't remember seeing are these the same through the united kingdom we could problem. i'm going to reveal that i'm going to people besides already that we're going to be dependent on not only in this reads about holding up the ball there spanish officials on the spot has been looking to who kind of do anything to bring back because we love the people we know that members are all right alphonso post and spokesperson for the cattle solidarity for independence party thanks so much for coming on r.t. today thanks for providing us thank you. hope you can stay with us here are two you will be back after a short break. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the suckling island is the of minute on

named after french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the pride of the sakhalin region we'll take a look at what's in store for us here. until two thousand and four the island was part of the borders own and was completely restricted to visit is now in the speech us place is open to tourists unique plants and animals are its top attraction. treaty has been exploring the deaths of the world seas for several decades but it's here at more your own island where he has finally found what he'd been looking for . the water here is very clear the visibility is very good and the underwater world here is extremely rich i've been to many diving locations across the planet including the island of bali on top of my list while some go to the cycling region

to enjoy the sights others convert the islands nature's riches into a healthy dollar it is home to the biggest seafood processing factory in russia the tonight show hundreds of thousands of tons of fish get caught in the nets too late to produce delicious salaman caviar and necessary attribute of anything in russia the owner of the enterprise says a good fishing season can bring in more than a hundred million dollars net profit. and to a large extent this is old to do what succulent offers environmentally the tonight show operates in only and natural habitat and mild climate unique natural sights and delicious seafood. for a diverse holiday for those who are not afraid to travel ten thousand kilometers for. the question is whether this distant land would ever be able to become a major tourist destination.

three. three. three. three. three. three. this is r.t. israel seems keen on going to war with iran for its controversial nuclear program however. the u.s. is pushing for patience instead could it be election season cautiousness from washington or have relations soured with israel. when to find out. the crack between the white house and the israeli leadership is starting to show how soon benjamin netanyahu is pushing washington to draw a red line over iran a line beyond which lies war but president obama is not banding so let me be clear america wants to resolve this issue through diplomacy and we believe that there is

still time and space to do so even though the obama administration's stated policy is not to let iran have a nuclear weapon for benjamin netanyahu that's not enough if you're determined to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons it means you'll act before they get nuclear weapons acting before could mean attacking tomorrow even though according to a u.s. intelligence assessment iranian leaders haven't even decided on whether to build a bomb or not america's top military officials made it clear at tacking iran would be a bad idea should israel decide to go it alone the head of the u.s. army said quote i don't want to be complicit and of quote they are soon they can set iran back a couple of years and then go back and do it again and again that's just idiotic because once you start using force everything changes colonel lawrence wilkerson has joined a host of other former and serving government officials who put forward an expert analysis paper on what military action against iran would entail the paper states

we believe that a u.s. attack on iran would increase aryans motivation to build a bomb. it would take iran a year or more to build a military grade weapon once the decision was made to do so at least two years or more would be required to create a nuclear warhead that is reliably deliverable die a missile as this room pushes ahead with war talk and red lines the obama administration is trying to relieve the pressure any pressure that i feel is simply to do what's right for the american people and i am going to block out any noise that's out there when the president referred to israeli war rhetoric as noise many asked whether the relations between the white house and television have hit a new low all you have to do in this town is say the word israel and everyone supposed to shrink away everyone supposed to leave the argument because if israel's security is in peril then you are an anti-semite or worse if you say opposite

opinion americans have made it clear they don't have the stomach for another war in the middle east especially a war based on some phony red blinds president obama knows that benjamin netanyahu probably knows that too hence the question is. really serious when pushing the us to the brink of what would be a devastating war or is it some kind of a good cop bad cop diplomatic game that the u.s. and israel are playing whatever it is the escalating war talk is drowning out the whole diplomacy in washington i'm going to. well of course some more news waiting for you on line. let's have a quick look and see what we've got there for you for this hour sprayed page one how students from one university in the u.s. can now fill their pockets with cash after being blasted with pepper sprayed by police. and delivering a snob before being snubbed by the chairman of the russian parliament trip to the

a time of extremes extreme inequality instability volatility extreme debt regard publication finance reform occasion monetary dent generation thunder so strained paul has got all johnny rotten yes a former fed chairman paul volcker with a skull in discussing q.e. to infinity and this is what he had to say. that's right he was giving the two fingered salute the big ben bernanke oh it's over max it's also known as the heart of resubmit the tongues of the wescott wind and the headline that goes with this q e three will not fix america's problems warns paul volcker paul volcker the former federal reserve chairman credited with taming the inflationary threat of the one nine hundred seventy s. has warned that further quantitative easing will fail to prepare economies in europe and the us well why i am a federal reserve bank which is the lender of last resort responsible for taking the punch bowl away when the party gets to rot is not do their job instead of being

the booms and busts you want to have the market figure out which of the winners and which are the losers and you go through these cycles that if you don't have the cycles what you have is one perpetual all momma goo just shut down the fed because they do more harm than good basically. well he said it was the most extreme easing of monetary policy he could recall and that's why you see the image of him essentially flipping the bird and this is the telegraph a very conservative newspaper here that put that photo on their website and didn't mention that in the u.k. that looks very much like the harvey smith or the tongs as they call it in. and that this is the flipping the bird no move or. just pulled on his pants and shows his cheeks. polvo. like to see paul volcker but. to.
