u.s. congress passed the controversial cyber security act that could give the government access to internet users personal information russian heavily criticised by civil liberty advocates as an infringement of privacy. france threatens to pull out of the shank and travels less tough but one of the powers of granted within the initiative critics say undermines the dog's principle of european unity. in egypt thousands of businesses are expected to descend on tucker square friday and rally day sales and that are holding the revolution many feel the fight for democracy has been replaced by a scramble for power. and the arrests of eighteen bursty students running against tuition hikes in canada triggers warnings that police tactics when you drive discontent and fuel national protests.

around the world and around the clock you're watching are taking a highly controversial cyber security act and this is now a step closer to becoming law following a u.s. congress approval process now heads to the senate where the white house has already threatened to veto the bill because the storm of reaction among internet users using it of infringing on users' privacy and civil liberties is going to chicken reports now from washington. cisco would make it legal for service providers like google microsoft facebook to funnel private communications and other user related information to u.s. authorities it would provide the government with unhindered access to private correspondence of every american and mind you it's not just the americans using their services we're talking about your net users from all over the world so that

would be done in the name of cyber security they called it cyber intelligence sharing and protection act critics argue who does protect is those providers the likes of microsoft google and others and they are strongly lobbying for the law because analysts say it's not like the companies are not sharing information with u.s. authorities already and your correspondence cannot be monitored it can't but under existing laws the companies can still be liable for sharing private information of their customers so experts say the companies want legal protection for what they're already doing that's what the proposed law is about sopa was a different story for them service providers heavily lobbied against it because it would hit their businesses it would easily allow to shut down you tube for example they holds tons of copyrighted material anyway sopa was killed in congress largely because of the huge awareness campaign launched by internet service providers but from consumer's point of view whether it's sold pot or cispa it's seen as a blatant encroachments on privacy and freedoms so who would have given

unprecedented tools to shut down websites cisco would allow to effectively legalize the big brother on the web again it's not as if private correspondence is not being monitored already but would cispa americans would be stripped of their last legal means to protect their privacy on the web. well critics point to the front of the clips with existing rules protecting people's privacy that's correspondent from c. that news says it's the most of the i think part of the bill. the most controversial section of sr is the language that said notwithstanding any other portion of law companies can share in for what they want as long as it's for what they call a cybersecurity purpose now we have laws on the books that like prime privacy laws federal education records laws medical records laws laws protecting the privacy of gun owners perhaps all these laws exist for a reason and so it's kind of weird to say we're just going to ignore each one of

this becomes kind of the liberal law that trumps the other ones the super law and let's let's at least have more debate about that you know the house leadership didn't even while amendments are no moments were proposed to get rid of that language and that by itself is the most worrisome section so they had for you this hour in our father the security officer son of the yankees died in london over radioactive poisoning tells of those who is responsible for his son's body plus. russia and china include major joint military drills we look at their significance in the wake of similar war games conducted in the region by the u.s. . france talks tough either you have to tackle is illegal immigration or paris pulls out of the show travels a according to presidents and of course sarkozy stance has already caused

a stare among some event this with belgium saying french actual concerns are now playing a bigger role that sarkozy is facing a hard fight in a presidential runoff vote we can someday want to test our city reports. they say it's better to travel than to arrive but for european unity the ride has been bumpy to say the least and where could it be headed. the eurozone will implode a considerable number of economists admit when the french of four and that the eurozone is already dead it will collapse. so says the candidate who surprised france by securing almost a fifth of the votes in round one of their presidential race all the other candidates without exception regard the european union as part of the solution or as the main solution as she has identified in her campaign the fact that it's actually the cause of the problems much of the french press but also completely

wedded to the euro project they cannot conceive of a foreign policy or domestic policy which is deeply. rooted in the whole european project one that finds itself an ever more shaky ground the should get agreement one of european integration sacred cows allowing border free travel across the e.u. is under fire. germany and france want member states to have the option to bring back those internal borders for thirty day period if there's a threat to security and public order there's a danger and more and more people are also going to start attacking all the good aspects of europe and divisions within the union don't end there amnesty international's recent report documents examples of prejudice in the block against muslims in education and employment ideas are very much on the fringe of this through a political support from going on over being really mainstream in the right so to

me it was sort of sort of someone on the left would kind of see that people are more racist so to me not to but there has been some sort of. roy why the opportunity for people to express to hate and to indulge in to violent behavior so where does that leave europe even the people who are against this kind of europe and against the idea say they want a different kind of europe the e.u. may be trying to say in the past it's to achieve its vision and version of europe the obstacles are getting bigger from voters rallying behind brussels candidates to proposal supporting bad border controls some e.u. leaders have dismissed them as populist threats but the question is are they merely still threats or is this growing resistance already the tip of an iceberg tell us are still here r t brussels well with skepticism the major issue in the french

presidential election member states and there was the awaiting the outcome of that on a website called we are asking what the main challenge for next actually to be so most people say mentors from the parents but of course if you think the most difficult task will be kick starting the economy the rest of it so you can spread. its strategies he's intentionally gratian. it's important conflicts. cairo's tahrir square will fill with anger again on friday as gyptian islamists vent their frustrations towards the country's current military rulers are the same people who are condemning the current leaders for failing the demands of the revolution themselves stand accused of trying to monopolize power and sarah first now reports for many egyptians the ongoing political wrangling is pushing democracy to the sidelines. the protests nation after the revolution toppled president

mubarak the egyptian sift continue to use people power as a way to force change the sights the sounds of protestors on cairo's tahrir square have become a familiar one more than a good since president without the from power with presidential elections just around the corner and the activities here have once again taken center stage but if the last is taught us anything is a revolution alone is not a democracy make this why the upcoming elections appraising so important. as a discussion group focused on a paced arab spring egypt we met a former member of mubarak's regime now a prominent speaker here in egypt says the revolution also must be a good action but unfortunately after we had our problems and the challenges we have to discuss do we have to reach a vision. not everyone will say positive and ask the panel how they'd

feel about the outcome if they'd been one of the young revolutionaries there's no quid pools but he's not given a clear answer. on forces. of to. live in february. food revolution we will we will give the people what you want we'll give you. freedom we'll give you a democracy he told us of the frustration of many people he turned out to touch but now feel they've been left represented with a new struggle for power leaving many of the regimes old guard what is a democracy is the. room source to source it is a common complaint with an equally common arms. into a brief but the revolutionary me to its homes can last indefinitely i can see

a second wave lucia but we will expect to know waves of. people protesting against certain actions and this is the mcchrystal everywhere i'm sure that when they would realize that they should goon in a different way more realistic to understand the real interest this region it's a more polished slogans or shoutings it's the economy the culture and the politics at the end of the thing is us amazing authority and underestimating people seeing regimes across the arab world full now with the announcement of the list of candidates attention turns to the policies as they see might become the next president but they'll need to be careful not to allow power to churn out the voices of face who are determined that this time they'll be heard i think we will.

think as i did choice that if i find the right the right. way that evolution and this is. this thing. and. yeah this is here and then the revolution since i don't know. surface r.t. . well at this hour people are betting his guests discuss the oil in the power driven conflict between sudan and south sudan seems that risky diplomatic game played by one of their leaders is threatening to trigger or not war. i think some kids playing a very dangerous diplomatic strategy here i think is trying to appease the international community should that is a states' man to show that he can get a lot of support and show that he's not the aggressor as the victim i think on the other hand. who has not really supported by the west specifically

is seen as the aggressor and i think is actually playing on this game plan which is why i think he went into hadley i mean we must remember it was the south of twenty to the north. of course the rest that we see now is history. months of protests in canada boiled over cash strapped students clashed with riot police over tuition hike. along with other valid police tactics have resulted in multiple injuries since the movement began more than two months ago the government has proposed a tuition increase for next five years once negotiations broke down on wednesday students again the streets voice their frustrations hundred sixty stations have

been held since journalist going at the heavy police and the strength of the students' cause. there were really only minor incidents windows broken and then some very close but i realized the police is using that as a pretext to conduct massive repression and usually the ones who will break your window or another once you get caught the police closed out of the they run faster than the police the ones who get caught are peaceful protesters and people are becoming infuriated by the behavior of the police who were it's peaceful protesters always fueling the fire it definitely is well known. this has profound the ramifications people are very unhappy about the way their political elites are behaving and the feel that the government is not serving the people at all it's only serving big financial interests this is all those are all very repressive and
