thank. god for. the hour. indefinite term but if we could fix founder julian assange wants one year in the dorian embassy in london saying he's ready to remain there longer even if the sex crime allegations against him still fearing extradition to the u.s. . no woman welcomed president obama's visit to berlin is overshadowed by recent revelations about america's mess of internet snooping on germany and other european targets. and a series of blasts at an ammunition death toll roads a small town in central russia killing one person and injuring over fourteen more.

live from moscow this is you with me tom would say it's good to have your company with us let's take a look at the news this hour we can leaks founder julian assange has and left the ecuadorian embassy in london in year and says he is prepared to stay longer even if sex crime allegations he's facing in sweden are dropped as lunch feels extradition to the united states where he has angered officials by publishing washington secret documents details on the whistleblower was a year long confinement he has are t.s.r. for. well it's been one year since julian the son's first walks up. here in knightsbridge in london now the wiki leaks founder. of the u.k. supreme court refused to reopen his appeal against extradition to sweden where he's wanted for questioning over allegations by two women a sexual offenses allegations which he denies but it's been one year if any

mere insight and. bill is all being worth it we very rarely get a glimpse of what goes on behind and we've been able to speak to today in a sense himself to find out how you're feeling when you're out. every day that we've got our principles we truly. consider this when i was in solitary confinement . prison here in london for about half. my. full force that is worth one month and of course. for a while your ability to act very important to keep your ability to act in various ways and i have kept my ability to the organization preserves its ability to act. after these struggles but i'm very comfortable and happy with what we have a complete and i'm sure history. and just to many very very.

well the other day until the. behind me with foreign minister he's been visiting him ahead of his meeting with his u.k. counterpart william hague you know it's a well that's the press conference held by acquittals foreign minister immediately afterwards the ecuadorian government will continue to ensure that julian keeps receiving the protection we're giving him under asylum in our country protecting his personal integrity and particularly his freedom of expression. his confinement continues but the wiki leaks founder hasn't stopped he's made numerous appearances throughout the world's media and of course continue to make sure that his message of support for whistle blows continued to be heard and perhaps even providing inspiration for some of them all recent high profile whistle blows in fact speaking

recently about the n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden julian assange is called him a hero indeed many of us to describe killing innocents instead. meanwhile there's been no breakthrough in talks about to the fate of julian a son she will tell you what that means for the whistleblower on our website at our tea dot com also we recently sent down with julian assange is to get his thoughts on his fellow whistleblowers and how the government is likely to respond from now on and in case you missed that full interview you can still watch it by logging on to our web site. in the united states the focus has shifted to to other whistleblowers bradley manning is on trial and edward snowden's just revealed that the scale of the n.s.a. spying program archies gammage again looks at how washington is fighting to keep a veil of secrecy while justifying its operations to the american people america is

split on edward snowden traitor hero mixed in between but regardless of what anyone thinks about snowden his revelations have shed unprecedented light on the u.s. government's massive spying program even if you're not doing anything wrong you're being watched and recorded former n.s.a. employee william binney was prosecuted as a traitor when he blew the whistle on the government's sweeping collection of data and communications it's setting up a tele terry institute. when the government has that much information they can do those things they can use the i.r.s. to intimidate people or anything else they can send the f.b.i. . what they did to me and some others bradley manning too is being prosecuted as a traitor although it's so his war logs that the public learned about the. collateral murder was committed in iraq the obama administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers under the espionage act than all previous administrations combined but it was a lower say it's not government persecution that they fear the greatest fear that i have regarding the outcome. for america of these

disclosures is that nothing will change the administration is not trying to convince the american people that government secrets programs are a trade off they have to make in the name of national security they always have the same stories about you know science manning is known you know psychological stories what is wrong with these people cause them to do this i mean the real question is what is wrong with everyone else from who doesn't see what they can see but whistleblowers are not the only targets magnitude there is an obligation both moral but also legal i believe against a reporter that was the chairman of the house committee on cutting teligent and terrorism peter king calling to punish the journalist who exposed the government surveillance programs in its hunt for meeks the obama administration has already targeted its it's trying to set the precedent for the communicating with the media is the same as communicating with the enemy and that's

a death penalty offense recession doesn't have to go after each other or he certainly it's enough to create an environment of fear but will that fear stop information from coming out here's edward snowden's answer to that like you. were conan response is simply build better whistleblower he said in washington i'm going to. log in by britain i am here today because i cannot be a. year of asylum. plenty of stories ahead for you later on including a row over peace in afghanistan president karzai is job security talks with the u.s. to washington looks to the taliban for reconsideration more analysis on the situation coming up big several minutes time. one man has died in a d.c. forty one injured in a series of blasts and

a fire at in central russia witnesses on now reporting fresh explosions. over six thousand people have been evacuated from the small town girl where the first blast went off and choose to the town is still a state of emergency. as well in the situation of the. two thousand people now involved in the operation at the scene rescuers find manned mission expiries helicopters and tanks have been used as well but despite all the efforts unfortunately it looks like that blaze still continues the rescues have only managed to stop the fire from spreading it's not contained but again it's a huge area on fire almost impossible to get in for rescuers right now because of. possibility for the explosions but yes a little to do with the war snoozes that explosions are continuing we've been here

and have a blast happened just recently in this section of the war scenario the officials have expected because as you know the incident happened at the site where up to eighteen million to repeat have been stored at the time when explosion happened and well it's very hard to actually predict right now how dangerous the situation make turn but it's clear that no one can say when or if the next blast may occur and to the really a chance that they haven't had any moment and people could be heard of course the situation being time mission right now is very dangerous for rescuers lives we've been receiving we do from witnesses on the ground with the heavy black smoke and again heavy heavy explosions and people who are actually in the syria got used to all kind of incidents there live in fear inside the green earth right and by the situation you have to multiply all those you can see on these videos by tiny pieces

of exploded child's flying all over so it's take horror movie actually it's very dangerous. and these plans injure pirates carburetors in a series of explosions at military sites in russia let's take a look at the most of recent ones right several blasts occurred. the dungarees and the top ski ranges in or in bruegel region last year all of them during unloading of missiles as they were being prepared for recycling with less than a month or triggered an explosion a decommissioning plant in the very last region left two workers injured all have been blamed on a failure to comply with safety regulations and all of this of course a major concern for russia's emergency committee which has the stress of the issue of ensuring safety at military sites right i'll be where go with the more news shortly to stay with us here on r.t.

. syria is just not a dreadful civil war it is now a regional conflict with red lines multiplying at a very dangerous rate obama's decision to directly are members of the ente assad coalition is a bold step that could lead to a greater disaster how can more arms and greater outside intervention bring about peace in this war torn country. he gave.

thanks to news of a secret lover touring to mccurry was able to build removes most sophisticated robots which all unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tunes mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and world events this is why you should care only on the dog call. thank. god welcome back you're watching r.t. the shaky peace process in afghanistan is under threat with president karzai suspended talks with the u.s. on a new security deal the move comes in response to washington as you turn decision to open direct negotiations with the taliban their first formal meeting will take place in the militant organizations new office in qatar on thursday only hours after saying it's ready for divorce with the u.s. the taliban claimed responsibility for a deadly assault on an american air base the latest in

a string of terrorist attacks we know afghan forces have taken the lead of the country's security paving the way for the u.s. is complete pull out in twenty four team as well as well as a from that is issued for policy studies explains of the taliban never said they would stop fighting is by the agreeing to negotiate. taliban position is very much a reflection of what was the semiofficial position of the united states during the negotiations with vietnam after nine hundred seventy three in the henry kissinger red peace process so-called where the us talked about how we will negotiate as if there were no war and we will fight as if there were no negotiations this is what the taliban are doing neither side has agreed to start fighting the taliban is not the u.s. and russia so i think the one who gets left out in the cold here is the karzai government and of course there's a serious problem for karzai because and he has come back against the united states

and said we're canceling talks not only a round these doha processes but we're canceling talks with the united states over the stationing of troops after twenty four teams so far that turnover to the afghans is far more rhetorical than it is real there are still sixty six thousand u.s. troops forty thousand nato troops more than one hundred thousand u.s. accountable contractors or mercenaries occupying afghanistan so the notion that somehow this means an end to the u.s. involvement in the war is simply not true. here's a look what's happening in south america brazil deploying national security forces in five of the country's major cities the ongoing i'm dressed has seen police clash with hundreds of thousands of protesters angry that the government splashing out on has seen the football world cup while hospitals and transport remain underfunded to the rallies are into this second week with was expected in the coming days the

number of cities in brazil responded to the country's largest reproaches in years by capping bus fare rises right let's take a look now at what do you think is the root cause behind the unrest in brazil at audi and dot com a most of you right now blame general government inefficiency and the corruption at forty three percent twenty eight percent of you say that the for this is the foreigners a plot to destabilize the latin american country and fifteen percent say that it's all about the economic growth will slow down and nearly the same number say put it down to the hike in public transport fees and of course that woke up costs i had to argue dot com and have your voice heard. right let's take a look at some part of me global news making headlines this hour fourteen people have been killed and fifteen injured in a gun battle at a u.n. office in the somalian capital mogadishu the victims include insurgents u.n.

employees and civilian women reports say a suicide bomber detonated himself while driving past the compound them gunmen stopped the facility al qaeda linked militant group al-shabaab has a responsibility for the assault. clar they have killed at least one hundred thirty people and the displays of thousands from their homes in north rim in india the army's leading rescue operations are now also helping gazans of stranded pilgrims travel has been cancelled across the region over fears of for the rains and landslides torrential downpours are usual for the region over the time they have hit the north of the country on a much heavier scale. ride turkish police have detained pardon me turkish police have detained dozens of people across the country to try and end the ongoing anti-government protests security forces use

water cannon over night to disperse the demonstrators many are now stating a silent standing man protests with a new form of resistance spreading throughout turkey dumbarton reports from moscow . but gold another day is going to disappear the turkish capital ankara the street coming to the city jordan doing at least thirty dollars a team leap police testers police ems fire to stop the find at least for stunningly space you can see here struggling with the funny crush is going to revisit the church this sunday. night was the way to the extremes of the not least to one issue the first world leader to remove a soldier's or lectures i want to see such finite precision was that stassi around sixty six was the last decade they could do well in your studies to make it seem to serious it was the soldiers exactly like it certainly look he has

a duty to go to the turkish suddenly the only are these protests. that at certain times become certain i was very very very nice about it it was in the politics of the free to do just. that tricky because i don't want all those on the street because that struck me was made up she was a power cut. the other obama is in berlin for the first time as u.s. president but apparently not enjoying a welcome as warm as he did when he was a candidate back in two thousand and eight activists joined in a protest against the usa ease a dropping a following revelations of the n.s.a. sweeping global surveillance in germany among those most affected another group of activists will rally in support of what he hunger strike this one is underway who have been refusing food for the four months now protests is wearing orange jumpsuits called for detainees to either be formally charged or released in his

keynote speech in berlin obama called for the closure of the prison again let's go live now to our g.'s beat all of a who's there for us peta it seems like obama is a losing the hogs and minds of germans and many. well last time he was here in berlin he drew a crowd of around two hundred thousand people this time around four thousand will be getting just what berlin is think of a bomber from frederick road or from european students for liberty in just a moment one of the major points though that was made by the u.s. president this keynote speech in front of the historic brandenburg gate was that he wants to see a further one third reduction in u.s. nuclear weapons now he said he would be contacting the leaders leaders in russia to try and coordinate some for the plan there he did praise the the work that's being done with the new start treaty saying that that would limit the amount of nuclear

weapons in the world to one thousand nine hundred fifty levels however he said he wanted to make that go further and wanted to try and push it on a little bit more by one third and be speaking to the russian leadership about that now fred thank you very much for talking to us just what type of reaction has. received from people here in berlin i think people were disappointed as you already mentioned five years ago there were two hundred thousand people listening to obama this time they were like four thousand people most likely mean mainly american that's just like two percent of what he could gather as a senator so people are disappointed with obama as being a president a lot of people from the left because obama will clean up the mess the true presidencies of george bush two when you're. bringing in more transparency into government and actually the opposite happened were consumed with the n.s.a. prison scandal is this probably one of the biggest intrusions of people's privacy

not only in the u.s. but also in europe now we've seen demonstrators just to put that into look at my understand just how upset people i was in demonstrators here on the streets of berlin claiming at the n.s.a. our stance e two point oh i mean feelings pretty strong isn't it or it's very strong especially in berlin. it's the come fiftieth anniversary of j.f.k. speech in a. divided balloon and it's just now a company scandal actually figured out that the n.s.a. is much more effective from spying than the starving stars it could ever have. and this is provoked a reaction from angola merkel the german chancellor today quite peculiar reaction what did she have to say so at a press conference right before the public speech of obama merkel was asked about the n.s.a. scandal and also german citizens being spied on and merkel so the internet is virgin territory for all of us which is interesting i mean we really are in the

twenty first century and that's remember this lady is a nuclear physicist isn't she familiar with the science degrees so this should not be virgin territory for her. all in all it's a very historic time very historic moment was being marked the fiftieth anniversary of that speech in which john f. kennedy said well you know i am of the we are all berlin is. how has the whole city received the u.s. president this time around and what kate the impact is he left. i think the impact was very little at least looking at positive things there might be the positive thing that both sides of you and pushing for more free trade between both blocs but when it comes to positive impulses cleaning up the mess such as intrusion or privacy such as to solving guantanamo or these things are still on the table and obama hasn't done anything positive on it frederick road from european student to liberty thanks very much for talking to me that's all we've got time for there were

these guys fredricka routed from the european students for liberty. right and we are getting some reaction from a russian now on obama's proposal to further khant nuclear arsenals foreign minister said again over says of the current start treaty should be fully implemented first he also said russia and the u.s. have to find a solution to existing problems over america's missile defense shield in europe the g eight talks in northern ireland where they expected dominated by the syria conflict in their final press conference world leaders agreed to work together towards of peace talks in the end of the civil war but the present stop short of demanding president assad to leave or it is what he worker of the summit. the final outcome hailed a success in the deadlock over syria yet for some of the summits participants it was a better experience than for the elders it had been billed as

a game of seven against one of the final joint statement made by all the leaders at the summit about syria perhaps an indication that russia's stance isn't that easy to ignore the focal point of the outcome a peace conference to bring together both sides of the syrian conflict and get them around the negotiating table as soon as possible but what that joint statement didn't include was a call for bashar al assad to step down something that david cameron and barack obama have been very vocal about neither was there mention of the so-called red line that barack obama has talked of last week when he claimed that the u.s. had evidence about the syrian government's use of chemical weapons and that they had made the decision to arm the syrian opposition however what did become clear that russia isn't the only country that isn't convinced by the usas claims that the syrian government had used chemical weapons lattimer putin said that all the g

eight leaders want to see more proof as well the russian leader also reiterated that russia's arms shipments to syria that have caused so much concern in the west are entirely legal we provide supplies in line with a fictional contract to the legitimate government of president assad when the possible work in supplies to syrian rebels by european countries the british people recently witnessed an outrageous tragedy when a soldier was butchered in broad daylight in the streets of london many in the syrian opposition not all of them of course criminals like the ones that conducted that violent killing do europeans want to supply arms to these people what will happen to these weapons where will these arms and you could end up back in europe that's right. call in our partners to think twice before the trip to see extremely dangerous stuff at the same time on another edge of the resort david cameron how

did few quick questions to answer about why the leader's final statement didn't contain any of his usual anti assad rhetoric what we don't want to happen in syria is for the regime to go in for chaos to follow that is what happened in iraq and no one wants to repeat that one thing that everyone agrees on is that the only way to solve the syrian crisis is through diplomacy and peace talks but that's exactly what this is being talks about more talks and with no date for geneva two pencilled into the calendar leaders leaving a lot heard might well be wondering what exactly they've achieved probably boy kerry i see northern ireland. well well some positive all hearing about arming the syrian rebels a video has emerged on the web allegedly showing young people training to be part of the syrian opposition force the footage which is hard to verify of course apparently shows teenagers are receiving weapons and ammunition entrained of fire

guns it's not the camp could be run by al-qaeda or it is shows a union between them and the syrian rebels the youngsters can also be seen thinking that they turned the world trade center into rubble and that they would be honored to be called terrorists john laughland are from the if you don't democracy incorporation in paris us says arming the rebels would make the conflict even worse . we've seen things like this before and i don't think there's any doubt certainly there's no doubt in the mainstream western media that the islamist element in the syrian opposition is predominant so it confirms what we know about the syrian opposition which that which is that it is principally islamist and much of it terrorists if. the americans do stop to arm then the rebels will be encouraged by the shipments of new arms there will be obviously to encourage them to come to political so well and the fighting will increase and i'm frankly absolutely

astonished that the g. eight countries the western countries should continue to take this position in nor can i look at the g eight summit or so this decision which is no a month old but which has as i say to be put into operation to arm the rebels this decision is the equivalent of throwing actual on to a fire it will only make things worse. so with us will crosstalk coming up right after the break and that's it from me.
