election fails to convince the people of the lot of his democratic credentials and field position condemns the bard as a great day a smokescreen to conceal a logical front for. international news and comment live from moscow this is all see was me you're. very well welcome to the program. kame dot com the web. service known for his bond file sharing service says he's at the center of a political witch hunt until last year he's megaupload site was one of the most popular on the web it allowed millions of users to exchange content freely and if we're going to upload dot com we'll see this and bombed by the u.s. the case has already sparked many questions about internet freedom the founder has

started a news service but we have to see how long it's going to last also has andrew blake exclusively spoke to the man known as kim dot com about why he's being hounded across the globe. here's a guy who grew up on the internet was a guy who made millions off the internet and here's a guy who designed mega upload at one site one of the most popular websites in the entire world with over one hundred million users is in the top five most trafficked websites and you know that's kind of why the f.b.i. wanted to shut it down i'm not. this my hero he was selfless he is completely the opposite of me but i'm a businessman i'm driven by the success of achieving something in the business world ok that's not a crime there's nothing wrong with that big raid on the mega mansion the dot com mansion happened january twentieth two thousand and twelve it was the middle of the night kim was at this guest house on this how in the mansion all of a sudden the authorities the local police showed up and helicopters came into his

house with guns drawn arrested him arrested his colleagues hauled him off to prison froze his assets shut down his web site essentially they put his entire life on hold and caused him to kind of take this new stance in terms of what he thinks of the internet particularly what he thinks about the current state of privacy and surveillance of the government is quite exposed here because they really went in was completely be prosecutorial abuse and overreach and ignoring due process ignoring our rights spying on us illegal search warrants illegal restraining orders illegal spying and i mean the whole picture when you look at it shows that this was an urgent mission done in a rush to take them down i want them to go and it was a political decision to do that is still waiting a eventual extradition hearing to the u.s. at this point though it seems like every single passing day the justice

department's case against him just crumbles more and more and more so sooner or later the u.s. government is going to have to prove that kim dotcom is worthy of the extra us and at that point if he's convicted he spent decades in prison but the opinion that i got from him and from his legal team is that that's not going to happen anytime soon. and you can see our exclusive interview with the i can dot com later today he'll announce he is breaking the set. the worst part of the law but he didn't. quite. get. what it was like to have you never seen anything like that. now the cherry picking our now you can't even leaders were quick to dismiss david

cameron's ideas for a reformed union britain would be happy to stay in and a landmark speech box a national referendum on membership but only after brussels agrees to some major changes france said it all roll out the red carpet of the u.k. wants to go and meet people in the town says there's no way britain will get any special favors the point is that renegotiation is going to be nigh on impossible we've had a home of underemployed the president of the european council you've had georgia manuel but also you've had a shawl trues the president of the european parliament you've had a good prime minister and the list can go on of all of these people who are saying that britain cannot cherry pick this is an attempt by cameron to kick this issue with the long grass we're talking about a referendum five years down the line and it's all dependent on whether he wins the next general election or not and we know that if you look at the polls today it's showing quite clearly that chemical struggled to win the election so i do think

that this is an attempt to kick it into the long grass and quite frankly this man is largely fall on referendums he gave the cast own go out and see that we were out we would have a vote at friends and our members. of lisbon he went back on that referendum pledge show i don't think you can be trusted on this issue. and in his speech david cameron admitted he personally wants reason to stay in the club as he struggled to please both easy you partners in the euro skeptics at home and he spoke of the tremendous disadvantage is will the u.k. if it leaves the union but steven wall from the u.k. independence party says that's simply not true they said that we would be in huge problems if we came out of the they said that business would not actually invest in the u.k. unless we join the euro this isn't going to happen and we're not going to believe the false promises and the false concerns that european politicians and big businesses are actually going to throw them in there's an unholy alliance that

seems to be forming with three old conservatives with large corporations with members of the labor party who will want to frighten the people of this country to say that they can't survive on their own but we're still the six largest trading nation in the world so yes the public in this country know that there is a problem out there they understand the arguments and they're not going to be fooled this time by a political elite. so this optimism is not shared by everyone later this hour. and stays a habit of the icy outlook and the state of the british economy. here to pick all of our b s's five hundred million pound live or buy. that's right the bank while it was owned by the people went out and to show their appreciation and commit a massive act of financial terrorism and they said good british people again pay us again pains again we know you worship stones and rocks and you don't know what

money is just give us all your money and the people here in the u.k. are like yes yes banks will do whatever you want. north korea has warned about full fledged confrontation with washington promising to conduct a rocket to launch a nuclear test telling the u.s. the threats come a day after the u.n. security council expanded functions against pyongyang for its rocket launch in december and the story now drawing lines but it's cold. not very nice to have you on the program so how much of a threat does north korea really pose to the u.s. and its allies. i don't believe believe that there's a process is a very dangerous threat to the united states military analysts have commented on the nature of most of north korea's military hardware most of it is based on old

soviet designs and although of their own so long range missile technology has improved in recent years and i think that they have the capability to do it directly attacking the states from where they are i think that the danger is much greater for the people we see here and i think we have to do our best in the situation to keep the world were who it was you know that during the korean war the united states killed about forty eight people in the east lacking a north korea and you look at the resolution that was passed yesterday for example if a pursuit of this to be message in the international community saying that you cannot get the right to defend yourself so i feel this is it or the reason why they behave strictly to you and as it was as we see it as you say the u.n. resolutions have resulted only in providing north korea to fight back so why is the u.s. keeping pressing for more measures that on the test particular young into a corner exactly right and i think that with obama's pivot to asia policy certainly north korea is going to go there can be pretext for the united states to militarize

the south korean country even further and i think as well we have to look at the position beijing in this issue and we need to get that leadership transition as she is coming into power shortly and i think that that they're only wants them if we get stability in the green and they don't want to get huge a crisis in our borders or a military conflict on the border so i think they could look at the incoming look like we're all standing committee many of the people who are going to be there when you're experienced studying in north korea so when we look at the incoming administration in beijing will be able to have convinced in your thirty's to behave any more for your work trying to look like the u.s. is came to challenge china. his influence in asia pacific and north korea being the bay drains a longtime ally does washington want to remain isolated here since we see their sixty years of the economic sanctions which again if the peace treaty i was last

month and saw the propaganda banner that we can't even live in our own way here completely define each day. and hear international institutions that will basically get down from the bench areas escape from the exists. because the latest of war was actually results in actual incidents like violence for example. yeah well and then again. in today's day if war broke out in very nice slow over me people would die and it's those twenty four hour same thing as we have to use that screen is that working hey gain power and save you worry efficiently face it there's a danger to gauge it's real and see if he's going to talk it could be case it was a free government intended to sense you saw you can eat and actually do this since you know you know she's a chance to want to ban good t.v. or free we've seen anything so reinforcing that one would hope that she has

a little bit of the sense that she is a cheap dandy organic always using the book that you see in the past five years teaching religion the suspension policy because i think at the end of the gate if it was in south korea normalize relations in and begin to have a good economic exchange and if your career would become more and more here and after you can you hope to get this direction it should take on its call on this to thank you very much indeed for your time and. underscores there's much more for you coming later this hour right here on i'll see the roommate her answer is rose in the meantime yahoo claims victory in the parliamentary elections but they closed the result means top coalition talks lie ahead. as thousands charges in venezuela and his health problems sparked concerns for political stability in just a couple of minutes we'll speak exclusively with the finest president who says there's no need to predict that sounded much more after

a short break. please and really we're really was i. should. have.

news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. you're watching on c n live from moscow welcome back joan didion islam is who boycotted one's days election claim the vote was rigged and its results will undermine the future of parliament's credibility the government however hails the poll as a great job step towards democracy in a motorcade that's seen a wave of protests supplied by the arab spring has this gotten it has more from they did an incompetent force right now. many here say that the reforms simply are too few and too late now there have been some efforts for example to make the

elections more open this is the first time that outside election monitors are going to be observing the vote here but at the end of the day the new parliament just still not going to be able to pass legislation freely and can be dismissed at any time by a royal decree now the biggest source of discontent here is a new election law which critics claim is rigged in favor of pro-government candidates by allowing favoring in fact a larger number of rural tribal representatives who are largely seen as being loyal to the government in fact of the one hundred fifty seats available in this parliament only twenty seven can go to candidates from national parties and the muslim brotherhood is the largest most popular and the biggest political party here in jordan and has really been the driving force behind the boycott of this vote and the opposition but of course discontent isn't just limited to the islamists many regular jordanians here feel that corruption has continued to be rampant and are quite frustrated with the economic situation in this country and that is why we see

a lot of voter apathy it really is a major test of whether these small incremental changes by the monarchy are going to be enough to placate the opposition from the people who we've talked to in fact leadership of the muslim brotherhood says that it simply won't go enough in fact this election is frankly only the opening salvo in what is likely to be many months of unrest here in jordan because the new parliament is likely to be seen as being toothless by much of the population that's going to set up a very difficult future of four four four four jordanians who feel like their interests are not being represented by the government they want more representation they want more freedom and they want to warn of a say in the future that their country takes they don't necessarily feel that the steps taken by the government so far. are enough to provoke that more importantly the economic situation is really going to be the determining point in whether the arab spring essentially really unfolds here in jordan much of the unrest has been

caused by for example cuts in food and fuel subsidies and those are only likely to increase given jordan's it stream austerity measures that are being imposed by the i.m.f. at the moment so it really doesn't look like things are going to be calming down anytime soon so they're ses and jordan of course following events where the election results i get to ban posting updates from back on have twitter feed and you can always get the latest at cops on all of you. into. the media even.

hillary clinton has admitted as they are going on prising as false as the conditions for expanding terrorism in one of her last public appearances as u.s. secretary of state here testified to congress about last year's dead metuchen denmark and consume it in the new bins have been gazi all she is going to shock her reports. we heard secretary of state acknowledge that the revolutions in the region have led to the spread of extremism on the revolution's she said it's a great opportunity for the united states but also a great threat to the u.s. certainly see the opportunity when they made the revolution in libya happened because it was mostly due to the u.s. firepower that the rebels there were able to take over hillary clinton cheered when that happened and generally up until that tragic attack in benghazi in september in the murder of the u.s. ambassador the obama administration had libya checked as a foreign policy success was happening in the region now of course looks anything but success we actually heard that in hillary clinton's testimony as she talked

about the spread of extremism in the spread of weapons in the region and the new opening in the war on terror benghazi did not happen in a vacuum the arab revolutions have scrambled power dynamics and shattered security forces across the region instability in mali has created an expanding safe haven for terrorists who look to extend their influence and plot further attacks of the kind we saw just last week in algeria hillary clinton also spoke about how the u.s. needs to help the governments in the region to deal with their security to build their institutions and all of this in the context of this expanding war on terror so to anyone who expected a smaller u.s. footprint in the region that's probably not going to happen from what we heard today if anything one could expect a bigger u.s. footprint in the region and in had testimony hillary clinton confirms the terrorists behind the recent sadly hostage taking in the jury a gold the weapons. that's how it was station in response to france's intervention

in mali that operation is sponsored by washington which is helping to transport french troops and equipment independent political analyst believes it's western intervention in libya that led to the insurgency in mind in the first place. most of the mile is a direct result of the arming of of rebels and gadhafi in gadhafi libya. as well as the fall of gadhafi get out he was a key player in negotiating peace deals the last peace deal in northern mali. was negotiated in two thousand and. three he was the linchpin of a lot of the security system in north africa plus the arming of the rogue plus the looting and get out of his own. weaponry by the rebel forces that's was created this instability again this is not completely just this is not unforeseen consequences there may be stupid the imperialist but they're not completely blind to the results of their actions and of course there's plenty of the online

including you could soon be able to buy glasses that recognition technology for just a dollar and you have to drop a nice scientist a friend for it find out more talks got called. irish a fondness for alcohol is an open secret but this time it may have been taken just a little too far on live got the whole story of why drinking and driving made no longer be a crime in the republic's county kerry. to latin america now where thousands of them is allowed those flooded the streets of the capital to mark what's known as the anniversary of the country's democracy that cation was used by both supporters and opponents of president hugo chavez to voice their political preferences and the grabbing uncertainty over his health also has

ever gone into a spoke exclusively to that as well as vice president nicolas maduro who offered assurance the country's leaders well and in full control. during the interview with vice president nicolas maduro the vice president of venezuela he informed us that president chavez is right now in his best moment. since his operation that took place in the beginning of december that there's a lot of expectation regarding his return to venezuela that he's definitely been improving complications have been overcome that arise during his surgery and in the post-operative phase at the same time he did want to speculate about when president chavez what exactly return to the country that that's definitely the cards definitely the near future. if this isn't a good post-operative condition and he's recovering with very well will make an official announcement to the public soon were able to visit him all the time. vice president said that right after this interview he would be leaving on

a plane to have an excuse to meet with president chavez to visit him informing us also that president chavez is conscious is awake he's aware of what's going on he's actively involved in his government wants to know what's happening and that he's still at the head of government that he's the one giving the orders and. decisions he's still making the decisions about the different paths that the government's taking. but if he's the president and more than fifty six percent of the people who voted for his continuing to fulfill his obligations everyone in venice well and the rest of the world will know that the government is continuing to develop social and economic reforms and he's waiting for the president to recover and fulfill constitutional obligations. overall there's a lot of expectation regarding the return of president chavez and the people of venezuela are very anxious awaiting his arrival and i can watch the full version of all his exclusive interview with the vice president of venezuela coming up at six thirty pm. the parliamentary race in

israel is about the political wrangling is only just beginning the election deadlock that unexpectedly gave prime minister netanyahu is right wing block and his center left rivals sixty eight seats each means tough coalition talks and a possible compromise on policies on his policy and looks at what israelis themselves expect from the next government. the voting here might be in secret but what's no secret is the result there was never really any doubt that prime minister netanyahu would win another term in office but the knot on paper isn't matched by the anger on the street. we know that netanyahu brought about a deficit of thirty nine billion dollars he's going to cut the welfare social education and health budgets this is what the next four years will look like. i'm scared to death really it will be a disaster very simply he's going to rob us of the chance to fulfill true zionism

in israel. it's netanyahu is hands will be tied trying to keep a lid on domestic anger half of israelis are more concerned about the economy then making peace with the palestinians or dealing with iran's nuclear ambitions but it's precisely these issues that see israel on a coalition course with the international community. continuing to build new settlements. daily not weekly. this is really a very powerful signal to the palestinians to the arab world. community that is not willing to move for the long the road of two state settlement this settlement was founded nearly thirty years ago by just fifteen families it's since grown fifty fold at a rate of about one hundred families a year for the world to tell me that if i'm going to build a summer whole want to have kilometer of course on my house is an obstacle to peace

is absurd the sects are such that jews came back to their enchant land the sector such that we as a population are growing i am not willing to walk from our house for what. for what peace netanyahu has vowed that the days of uprooting jews are behind he needs the support of the settlers and right wing parties if his coalition is to succeed a gamble american president barack obama has reportedly warned will lead the country down the path of isolation it's no secret netanyahu and obama don't see eye to eye and not just on what's happening within israel's borders i think the issue of for iran will come back to that it will not surprise i think anyone in israel if we'll see an israeli attack during the next year or two for netanyahu always seen as a critical threat to is work in to it is unable to postpone. the

issue of the palestinian issue and so now begins the obvious task of coalition building it could take weeks of bargaining a negotiation before the final make up of the new government has declared if netanyahu stays true to the polls he could be on course to give israel the most to hard line government in its history policy archie television and other had after the break it's the guise of report to stay with. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for life you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.
