Julian Assange has launched his new weekly talk show on RT (DStv 405), The World Tomorrow, with Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Lebanese political and paramilitary organization Hezbollah, as his first guest.
RT is replaying the first episode of The World Tomorrow every 2 hours on Tuesday; more repeats will follow during the week. The interview with Hassan Nasrallah was the first done and shown on Western television since 2006.
The pre-recorded interview, done through a videolink from England where Julian Assange is in house arrest in London, had two Arab translators. "A lot of the things that we have been trying to report have not been carried accurately in the mainstream press," Julian Assange said.
RT describes the guests who will be appearing on The World Tomorrow as "politicians, revolutionaries, intellectuals, artists and visionaries". Julian Assange said "my own work with WikiLeaks hasn't exactly made my life easier, but it has given us a platform to broadcast world-shifting ideas."
