tonight an arty indefinite term wiki leaks founder julian assange marks one year at the ecuadorian embassy in london saying he's ready to remain there longer even if the sex crime allegations against him are dropped still fearing extradition to the u.s. . president obama calls for a nuclear arms reduction as he braces world issues during a keynote speech in berlin while the euphoria over his politics appears to fade with many in germany. now the series of blasts of my munition rock a small town in central russia killing one person injuring over forty more.

years joined us just after nine pm now here in moscow my name's kevin owen this is r.t. first in the whiskey leagues founder julian assange hasn't left the ecuadorian embassy in london for a year and he says he's prepared to stay longer too even if the sex crime allegations he's facing in sweden a dropped a surge fears extradition to the united states where he's angered officials by publishing washington secret documents the details of the whistle blows year long confinement is r.t. sarah. well it's been one year since julian the son. of the doing embassy here in knightsbridge in london now the wiki leaks founder. of the u.k. supreme court these two really put his appeal against extradition to sweden where he's wanted for questioning over allegations by two women sexual offenses allegations which he denies between one year and any insight and.

bill is. very ready to get a glimpse of what goes on behind we've been able to speak to his sons himself to find out how he's feeling one year old. every day that we've been our principles we truly. considered this when i was in solitary confinement. prison here on. my. golf course it is worth one mustn't of course. throw away your ability to act very important to keep your ability to act in various ways and i have kept my ability to a new organization preserves its ability to act. but i'm very comfortable and happy with what we've accomplished and i'm sure history. and just imagine a very very well with. all the other day and. behind

me with foreign minister he's been visiting with him ahead of his meeting with his u.k. counterpart william hague you know see that's the press conference held by acquittals foreign minister and made to. the ecuadorian government will continue to ensure that julian keeps receiving the protection we're giving him under asylum in our country protecting his life his personal integrity and particularly his freedom of expression. his confinement continues but the wiki leaks founder hasn't was done he's made numerous appearances throughout the world's media and of course continue to make sure that his messages support for whistle blowers continue to be heard and perhaps even providing inspiration for some of them all we think of high profile whistle blows in fact speaking recently about the n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden julian assange has called him

a hero indeed many to describe. the wiki leaks founder believes that there's already a sealed indictment for him in the u.s. for smith gave a silent refuge of his mansion after he was released on bail and made twenty ten he thinks of washington's actively looking to make an example out of the most prominent whistle blows. you know hasn't been hasn't seen a ray of sunshine in a year i mean most prisoners will see sunshine most days so he might as well be in a prison and he's also been there for a year and the you know unfortunately he sent to sweden. for some reason and if you want to allege to have done something but you know if that materializes allegations materialize he would be very likely receive a years imprisonment and believes in effect. if you think there's no risk of action then there's very difficult to see why mr science can't go to sweden i believe

there is a real risk of extradition i think america wants to make an example of people like a stange as it is doing of other whistle blows that we know like bradley manning who's clearly being tortured and being treated extremely poorly and isn't allowed in his court case to bring in aspects that would be very good for him i mean you're expected as a soldier to report. you know war crimes and a lot of what he reports constitute war crimes. meanwhile there's been no breakthrough talks about the fate of the problem was supply will tell you what that means for him com a website also we recently sat down with a science to get his thoughts on his fellow whistleblowers and how the government's likely to respond from now on a case full interview he gave to me you can still watch it by logging on to our website. blockaded by britain i am here today because i can not be. assigned

a year of asylum in the united states the focus has shifted to two other whistleblowers now bradley manning is on trial and edward snowden has just revealed the scale of the n.s.a.'s spying program and he's going to looks next how washington is fighting to keep a veil of secrecy while justifying its operations to the american people at the same time america is split on edward snowden traitor hero mix in between but we guard less 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 for me to say 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 tarion state. 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 still his your 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 these 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 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 in terrorism a decaying calling to punish the journalists who expose 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 the administration doesn't have to go after each other or he certainly isn't up to create an environment of fear but will that fear stop information from coming out here that were snowden to answer that question. conan response is simply build better whistleblower he said in washington i'm going to take on a lot more coming up on the program including a row over peace in afghanistan. president karzai stops security talks with the us up to washington looks to the taliban reconciliation as more analysis on the situation and coming up in a few minutes. barack 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 candidate back in two thousand and eight he was met by protests against the u.s. eavesdropping following revelations of the n.s.a. sweeping global surveillance with germany among those most affected another group of activists were rallying to in support of a hunger strike at one time a move they have been refusing food for over four months now protesters wearing orange jumpsuits call for detainees to either be formally charged or released in his keynote speech in berlin obama called for the closure of the prison again as well as touching on a whole range of international issues as artie's peter all of the reports. that 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 duction in u.s. nuclear weapons now he said he would be contacting the leaders leaders in russia to

try and coordinate some further plan and 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 two nine hundred fifty s. levels however he said he wanted to make that go further i wanted to try and push it on a little bit more by one third and he's 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 mainly american but it's just like two percent of what it could gather as a senator people are disappointed by. being a president a lot of people from the left because obama will clean up the mess the true presidencies of george bush jr. bring in more transparency into government and

actually the opposite happens if we're consumed with the n.s.a. prison scandal. probably one of the biggest intrusions of people's privacy not only in the u.s. but also in europe demonstrators here on the streets of berlin claiming that the n.s.a. are two point zero i mean feelings pretty strong isn't it oh it's very strong especially in berlin it's become it's the fiftieth anniversary of j.f.k. speech in a. divided balloon and it's just now a company by this scandal actually freaking out that the n.s.a. is much more effective from spying than the starving stars or could ever have dreamed about frederick rohde from european students of liberty thanks very much for talking to me that's all we've got time for. russia has reacted to a bomber's proposal to further cut nuclear arsenals the deputy foreign minister says the current start treaty should be fully implemented first he also said russia or the u.s. have to find a solution to existing problems over america's missile defense shield in europe

while the head of the state duma international affairs committee alexei pushkov thinks some farmers ideas need much more work and nuclear arms reduction is a matter for the distant future their opponents russia. still to come barack obama's e.u. trip started with the g eight summit in northern ireland where world leaders backed peace talks in syria with a final statement of no call for president assad to go back into the. well months died at least forty one injured in a series of blasts and a fire in central russia witnesses are now reporting fresh explosions to. over six thousand people evacuated from that small town of squarely first blast went off on tuesday night the town still in the state of emergency nationals following the situation there. around two thousand people are now involved in the operation at the scene rescue is fine man in the next prius 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 and this is actually the war scenario the officials have extracted because as you know the incident happened at the site where up to eighteen. to every piece is 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 teryn but it's clear that no one can say when or if the next blast may occur and to the release a chance that it may have in any moment and people could be heard of course the

situation in the entire mission right now is very dangerous for rescuers lives we've been receiving we do from witnesses on the ground with have the blacks and again heavy heavy explosions and people who are actually really in this area got used to all kind of incidents there live in a near side green earth right by this situation you have to multiply all those you can see on these videos by tiny pieces of exploded child's flying all over the horror movie actually it's very dangerous scary place to be able. to do the series of explosions and rushes to look at the most recent ones observe the. ranges of the region just last year all of them. being proposed for. cycling well less than a month ago an explosion at a decommissioning plant in. region left to work is a big mess there too all of been blamed on

a failure to comply with safety regulations nor this of course a major concern for russia's of mergers the committee which has stressed the issue of ensuring safety at military sites. i'll bring you more news in just a moment it's now fifteen minutes past nine at night we're talking about why the afghan president is taking office at the u.s. and how turkish protests as a developing a new form resistance right after this break. i would rather as questions for people in positions of power instead of speak on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t.

question more. the shaky peace process in afghanistan is under threat with president karzai now suspending talks with the u.s. on a new security deal the move comes in response to washington's u.

turn decision to open direct negotiations with the taliban their first formal meeting did set to take place in the militant organizations new office in qatar on thursday now only hours after it said it's ready for talks with the u.s. the taliban then claimed responsibility for a deadly assault on an american air base the latest in a string of terrorist attacks meantime afghan forces have taken the lead of the country's security paving the way for the u.s. has complete pull in twenty fourteen and as for this business of the institute for policy studies explains the taliban never said they'd stop fighting despite agreeing to negotiate a. 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 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. has not so i think the one who gets left out in the cold here is the karzai government and of course there is 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 joe hart processes but we're canceling charts with the united states over the stationing of troops after twenty four fifteen so far that train over 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. it is simply not true. of brazil's deploying national security forces in five of the country's major cities and the big story tonight the ongoing rest as seen police clash with hundreds of protesters hundreds of thousands of fat angry that the government splashing out on hosting that football world cup

coming up while hospitals at the same time and transport remain underfunded rallies now into the second week with more expected in the coming days a number of cities in brazil responded to the country's largest street protests in years by capping bus fare rises now what do you think about this it's been going on for a while as you say seems to be getting worse what you think the root causes behind the unrest in brazil it's a subject of a. vote of mine tonight at r.t. dot com thanks for taking part if you have done so far as you can see there forty four percent of you most of you blame the general government inefficiency and corruption for the problem here is about a third just under a third of a quarter in fact say it's the result of a foreign plot to destabilize latin america fifteen percent of you that think it's all about the global economic slowdown just but the same number fifteen percent in fact identical think the hike in public transport fees and world cup costs are the problem here to r.t. dot com you can have your voice. turkish police have detained dozens of people across the country to try and end the ongoing anti-government protests security

forces use water cannon overnight to disperse the demonstrators many no staging a silent standing man protest for the guy we saw standing there it's a new form of resistance spreading throughout turkey in fact tom barton reports from ankara because the other day is really just here the tickets capital ankara the streets having become synonymous at least a little seemingly police tester's. to this fight at least close by least close here and it still feels that many cash is going. to the son. of god because the. police action is coming up little one it seems at least for a week removes all those elections i want to see why. it's nice to have sixty six decades they could do well if he is planning to make it seem.

like he's the subtleties take it badly it certainly look he has a lot of sick popular certainly beyond. these protests to show that a true has become. the party needed. in the politics of this region loses . and to keep his point was on the stoop and that was what struck me was me it seems the power. of the g eight talks in northern ireland where as expected dominated by the syria conflict in their final press conference world leaders agree to work towards peace talks to end the civil war but surprisingly stop short maybe of dividing president assad leaves wraps up that 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 others 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 of 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 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 weapons 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. these arms and you could end up back in europe that's why . call in our partners to think twice before the streamlet dangerous step at the same time on another edge of the resort david cameron had

a few quick questions to answer about why the leaders 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 are see northern ireland. well while western powers are talking about arming the syrian rebels the videos most on the web allegedly showing young people training to be part of the syrian opposition force that footage which is hard to verify apparently shows teenagers receiving weapons and ammunition and trained to fire guns it's

thought the camp could be run by al-qaeda or at least shows a union between them in the syrian rebels the youngsters can also be heard singing what they turn the world trade center into rubble and they want to be honored to be called terrorists john not one from the institute of democracy and cooperation in paris says arming the rebels have made the conflict 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 there which is that it is principally islamists and much of it terrorists here in union and the americans who start to arm then the rebels will be encouraged by the shipment you arms there will be obviously the courage that comes from political slaughter well and the fighting will increase and i'm afraid he was absolutely

astonished that the g. eight countries of western countries should not invited you to take the position in northern ireland at the g eight summit also this decision which is no a month old but which has as i see it to be put into operation to arm the rebels this decision is the equivalent of throwing actual oh no onto a fire it will only make things worse. great programs like that for it's not about financial issues addressed in problem interests my washington d.c. is d.c. studios but often break. the interview.

and a good afternoon to welcome the prime interest i'm perry and boring in washington d.c. and here is the headline sports a day. break he once how it's just the word from president obama who's that in an energy you would charlie rose oh he's already you stayed a lot longer than he wanted or was supposed to but the federal reserve chairman still has a few. meetings last the most recent of which begin today marking which is the pens are expecting formal guidance tomorrow and various fed officials and not officials have a job moaning about over the last mine we're talking of fed speak with fed watcher and dana chasen in just a bit and european central bank head mario draghi was enjoy a rueful oma recently to say farewell to the m i t mentor a stanley fischer as he leaves the bank of israel next month. hokum the opportunity to basically say don't count out the e.c. when it comes to dramatic new monetary measures we call it q.e.

envy finally it looks like the u.k. is finally getting tough on market rigging except the target is a thirty three year old former u.b.s. and city being trader and no executives have been named and according to the financial times it might not even matter so the u.s. department of justice has already brought charges against the trader making extradition a largely moot point later we talk about big bangs and their regulatory sway with calmness alexis goldstein and here's what's in your prime interest.
