Wikileaks' Jullian Assange to host Russian TV show

MOSCOW, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will host a 10-part political discussion program on Russian television in March, the channel Russia Today said Wednesday.

Each half-hour installment of "The World tomorrow" will feature guests being interviewed by Assange, the Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported.

The channel said guests will include politicians and revolutionaries, people that in the host's opinion will form tomorrow's agenda.

More than 600 million viewers are expected to watch the new show.

"We are proud and delighted that our channel will premier Julian Assange's project because the RT channel has gained a worldwide audience that's disappointed by the mainstream," said RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan.

"The World Tomorrow" will be filmed in England where Assange is under house arrest. He is fighting an extradition request from Sweden to face charges of sexually abusing two women.

Assange is scheduled to appeal the extradition order in Britain's Supreme Court Feb. 1.
