WikiLeaks founder Assange interviews Hizbollah leader in new talkshow



LONDON // Julian Assange's new talk show has premiered on the Kremlin's English-language satellite broadcaster, its opening episode featuring an interview with Hassan Nasrallah, the Hizbollah leader.

The World Tomorrow opened today on the RT network, a broadcaster criticised by some as a Russian propaganda mouthpiece.

The WikiLeaks founder has promised that his guests have told him things they "could not say on a mainstream TV network".

Mr Assange remains under strict bail conditions at an undisclosed location in the United Kingdom while he fights extradition to Sweden on sex crime allegations.

The interview with the Shiite militant boss was carried out via videolink and with the help of translators.

Six pitfalls to avoid when trading company stocks

Following fashion

Investing is cyclical, buying last year's winners often means holding this year's losers.

Losing your balance

You end up with too much exposure to an individual company or sector that has taken your fancy.

Being over active

If you chop and change your portfolio too often, dealing charges will eat up your gains.

Running your losers

Investors hate admitting mistakes and hold onto bad stocks hoping they will come good.

Selling in a panic

If you sell up when the market drops, you have locked yourself out of the recovery.

Timing the market

Even the best investor in the world cannot consistently call market movements.
