so there are other arguments. companies will. also is will talk about have included in time is will of the people and search studio other a lot of other arguments you mentioned that you mention that a very interesting issue of course russia. of course russia and the us are making very good progress in improving their diplomatic political ties but what of course has been objecting to having an american system so close to its borders do you really feel that there could be a danger that these defense plans will set the two nations back and maybe even lead to a new arms race. this what you hear in the political discussion in russia. and even. if nato is continuing solo in unilateral in developing this. and then this could cause

a new arms free. other investments in the new strategic conventional russian so i think actually this is a danger. or because for others it creates strategic alliances and. just briefly these two agreements been signed in tough economic times of course we're seeing tough times in europe and the us how justified is the deployment of these new bases and military personnel in the current economic context. u.s. and nato are arguing that this is a small cost for. what this estimate that it will be it's a project lost in ten years and it will cost the estimated cost would be two hundred billion euros shared by all twenty eight nato countries so it seems a little investment for each country although they say maintaining this kind of

system could cost so much much more and of course in the public opinion i think it will not always easy to sell this project or especially. in the public opinion it's not seen. they don't perceive any threats serious or not to air. missile defense so along with all problems. but of course you're from the peace movement many would say that the cold war created many many years of peace. ironically do you think though that this missile defense plan could actually lead to a safer europe and the world in the same way i'm not sure because first it's not clear if it's feasible this. project technically it's capable of defending europe against any missile attack and as i said i just said i think it can be perceived by other countries nuclear forces as something threatening them or

stimulating them in developing their own if you or so so i think it's. dangerous here that we will you arm. about ambitions for a nuclear weapon free world are really unrealistic just briefly. they are unrealistic not only because this kind of project is adding a new dimension on the nuclear. option when developing nuclear arms and if what you see as in the nato countries but also elsewhere is that all countries are going to be a potential or modernizing their arsenal so what obama said can be taken seriously ok ok we'll leave it there thank you very much indeed. for joining us live there from belgium thanks for your comments and hear from me that brings us now to twenty five minutes past the hour business news is next with marina.

hello and of all kinds of businesses here are to see the leaders of greece france and germany and that's why conference on the way to consume the spiralling european debt crisis fears that greece is heading towards a default has something interest rates on its government bonds to record highs but russell doesn't have much to worry about as take up after morgan stanley explains. russia is actually a much better position now the central european countries say turkey in the region because it has less strong trade and investment relationships with europe because it's more of a global trading country and it depends on the price of global commodities such as oil which depends growth in emerging markets such as china and india. so russia's for ages tory don't we have the growth of china and india and that sort of moment looks reports and hasn't been affected by the downturn in developed markets as compared to other. countries i think russia is in of brazil as essentially

a commodity exporter which is exposed to movements in commodity prices which are affected by global growth it's not like china and india which are large enough that they can determine their own fate and make their own economic weather to a great degree because it depends on commodity prices which depend upon global developments. let's take a look at the markets now we'll start with oil prices there are mixed the sour crude is maintaining its losses after the us energy department report showed a decline and that's always an unexpected gain in gasoline stockpiles. over in the u.s. markets are spreading impostor territory extending gains for a third day as investors remain optimistic about a resolution of nerves that prices. and european stocks closed higher after european commission president hostile but also said the commission will supersize our sons for the it's without sin of common euro bonds which some believe can help

with r.t. today my pleasure for more than a decade you've been warning the mass public or at least informing them that privacy is dead can't work and in that time people have consciously and putting more and more information about themselves online what do you think this has done to contribute to your message of privacy being all the truth is people care less and less about privacy or at least they act as if they do the greatest amount of data that's mean compiled are each of us today is self contributed. your location your likes or dislikes your religion your sexual orientation. how you vote where you live who your friends are who your family what music you listen to what books you read all sorts of things that frankly are

a window into your soul all of these things are self contributing i can go to your facebook page and obtain information equivalent to what people would pay a private investigator ten thousand dollars a few years ago to go out and gather you have consensually put it up there for the whole world. and that includes of course the holy grail of investigation which is location and photos you are constantly reporting your location you're constantly posting from how do you manage your own social network profiles you have any i do and i post just often enough to let people know that i'm alive. possibly once a month. and i'm very careful that i keep location aware programs turned off so it doesn't report where i physically am at that moment and i don't reports

what i'm doing or or who i'm with or things like in an interview with r t julian sonce stated that u.s. based social networks provide information to a secret service if they request it could that be true it's more than true and it's not just it's not just social networking sites first of all they don't need to provide anything it's right there the secret service certainly which specializes in computer crime computer activities and certainly smart enough to have one of their tech services people go online and look it up on your facebook page or your twitter feed or your you tube feed or whatever. i don't think that the secret service needs the permission of these sites but in fact all of these sites do cooperate with law enforcement and i think they should and it's not just social networking sites google is is so intimately and mesh with the u.s.

government and i'm not just talking about. i hate to use this word i was going to say the nine. parts of the u.s. code and that sort of implies that there are a lot of no that's not what i mean to say but google in fact does have a relationship with the cia who has a very close relationship with the n.s.a. google has a back door that they make available to the secret service and to the f.b.i. i'm not saying this is a bad thing but it is something that people should be aware of and why is it that you want. people to know about us that their privacy is going away why you are telling us. well i know it's kind of counterintuitive you think that as a private investigator as the owner of an investigative agency i'd be delighted by this and i am and i am i take great advantage of this and all the people who post their photos and their whereabouts and their families and their friends you know

thank you very much and i appreciate it me talking about it is not going to stop these people who are going to motor ahead and continue doing it i just think it's it's in certain respects on america for companies like google and facebook to be aggregating all of this data on each of us without people really being aware of the ramifications you know it's not that you have a facebook page it's that yesterday you posted what books you like to read a week before that you posted that you were a democrat a week before that you posted your religion a week before that you posted that you were coming out of the closet a week before that you posted your parents' names and it's not one thing by itself it's that facebook google my space

a cell phone companies especially they gather this will be by bit by bit by bit and before you know it they've got your entire life on disk you know it's the it's the constant addition of everything and there's some some real sneaky stuff going on out there you know there's a reason why facebook is is so valuable you are defined by who your friends are that's what facebook is all about people friending your. and most of your friends are going to be people like you they're going to be people who speak the same language read the same books have the same politics follow the same religion or follow no religion at all and if i see who your friends are i know who you are and i can sell you things i can say wrote she's friends with fifteen people who buy

donald was like books i need to sell her doll was like i'll tell you the biggest the biggest privacy invader of all cell phone this has changed everything if you think about the cell phone you'll understand that this is the greatest invasion of privacy ever first of all it tells me where you are at every minute of the day it tells me who your friends are it tells me who's important to you and tells me where you work it tells me where you live it tells me where you eat and tells me everything that i need to know about you imagine that i am my remark a doffing and i want to know who's been participating in the most recent demonstration against them all i have to do is check and see who so phones were in the square

where the demonstration was it's really that simple i can tell you that right now today u.s. law enforcement is making charts of mafia families without doing any surveillance they know that this guy and this guy and this guy spent two hours together in this bar then this guy when here and reported to this guy this guy went here and did something else by following cell phones by following e-mail by following all the communications on a smartphone. your entire life is so interesting that you bring out no mark knopfler would you be able to pin down where i am going to offer you i don't know what information is available but i find it very very hard to believe that he is not already pretty much located so you think he is located based on everything you're saying how easy it is look as khadafi is a nut but he's

a very clever not and he's a nut that's managed to survive for forty five years and i'm sure he took note of how osama bin laden was captured and i'm sure he took note of how saddam hussein was captured. and i'm sure he's avoiding those mistakes but he will make a new mistake you know that the beauty of of being someone who hunts for people is you can make all the mistakes you want you can risk the guy here you can get a false lead there but if the guy you're chasing makes one mistake came over and ok so the u.s. government and the british s.a.'s and maybe the french and whoever else has people peeking around in libya right now or probably algeria. you know they're they're missing i'm here missing them they're dry hole here dry all there within thirty days they'll all be the consequence of this all around our use of such and i know

everyone has this this orwellian image of what's going on with the internet that they it's always they they never say who they are but they are gathering information on us and the average person assumes that it's the government in fact it's not it's private industry that's gathering information on you and they're doing it for one simple reason up because they want to invade your privacy or it's some salacious interest or you know they want to spy on you on behalf of someone and speak or see your eyeballs are worth money they want to find out as much as they can about you so they can sell you stuff this is pure naked capitalism you've worked a lot on the issue of fighting terrorism on to modern information technologies and social networks turn into instruments and that's why you know this is one of the few good arguments for the invasion of privacy that's going on and is the is the

tradeoff between privacy and safety and unfortunately there is a trade off if you're going to find out who the bad guys are you have to gather information on everybody you have to be able to say this one's ok this one's ok this one we need to look at a little more the fact of the matter is that if there had been database analysis and proper use of databases nine eleven would have never happened. two of the hijackers were known to the cia they were on a cia watch list every single one of the other seventeen hijackers was linked in some way to those two known hijackers five of them shared an address three of them shared a frequent flyer number two or three of them shared a telephone number some of them use the same credit card there's no question that that first of all had the cia and the f.b.i. been talking to each other and had proper use of databases been made all of these

people would have been scooped up no question about it or get at the end or right there steve thank you very much for your time thank you. six decades back in tottenham one thousand miles from the north pole. the ox team is taking on a trip to spitzbergen non-controlling go for it twenty years after the us is ours collapse of the soviet life is still going strong. for the world synonymous statue of lenin presides over a ghost summer the summit for a change has become a tourist site for those overcome the cold war in the style of. the close something special edition on our t.v.
