anonymous whose call on the us public to stop the controversial cyber security act from passing through the senate and they claim the bill is a blatant violation of privacy and civil liberties. unemployment and debt ridden spain hits a new record high threatening to fuel public protests all of it fears the lawful demonstrations so we met by a brutal police response. and a string of blasts in ukraine that left thirty people injured the challenges the north already has ability to tackle security issues ahead of the upcoming euro twenty twelve championships. it's good to have you with us today here on r.t. robbery sushi i live in moscow outcry from internet users over the controversial

cyber security act it's set to spill onto the streets the haka group anonymous is hitting back in response to the bill by launching what it calls operation defense phase two. we are calling upon the citizens of the united states to physically protest having a passed the u.s. house of representatives on friday it now is a step closer to becoming law next it's heading to the senate as the white house continues to threaten a veto of the bill the act that could allow internet companies to legally share sensitive user information with the american government it's a move critics say infringes on privacy and civil liberties journalist david seaman explains how this bill puts everyone at risk. they're going after people before they've even committed anything that's illegal. in that case the adage that a moment where they added that now they can do this to protect children to protect

minors this could be something is vague as you know somebody who is seventeen years old if you have a cousin and he or she is seventeen. that's enough for the government to read through all of your e-mails potentially all of your facebook messages every website you visit and do all of these things without telling you and b. without obtaining a warrant or getting any kind of court involvement full before hand they can just go on this fishing expedition and see everything you've ever done online and then take it from there it's just profoundly scary i don't have a problem with spying on bad guys i have a problem on spying on people who done nothing wrong and doing it in the name of protecting children and protecting us from cyber security threats that i'm not convinced are even real there are already a lot of mechanisms for the government to see what bad actors are up to online this is just a gross invasion of the everyday person's privacy and for why i don't understand what the tradeoff is here i don't understand what we gain as individuals in exchange for giving the government this free pass to look through all of our

activities. luke samuel from online magazine thinks the bill is one of the latest attempts by the u.s. government to limit the first amendment rights. can anyone actually name a significant act of cyber terrorism that has happened in the west ever know because it never has done it's an imagined threat and it's an imagined threat which now threatens our freedom online i don't think this is about internet security i think it's about national security generally i think this act is more likely to be used to control and monitor efforts to organize terrorist attacks offline now the danger with that is that in the in america specifically we've recently had arrests of individuals for encouraging al-qaeda sympathies now that used to not be possible in the. american legal system because of the first amendment because of these recent cases there's a radical reinterpretation under way of the first amendment and more broadly free

speech is position in american society so i don't think we should be concerned about those that small minority can you know try and shut down master card for another half an hour we should be concerned about the americans the american government will drive to control not just our freedom online but our freedom to publish ideas more widely and on our website r.t. taught we've put together an extensive background on cisco you supported what separates this bill from other cybersecurity all the. online available for you twenty four seven also you'll find our teased him with rather unique take on the show. good luck. to build its most sophisticated which on it doesn't give a darn about anything. to teach creation why it should care about you and.

this is why you. only on the dot com and there we are coming to life from moscow spain has plunged into what the government calls a crisis of huge proportions with the jobless rate rising towards a record one in four boasting the highest unemployment in all of europe the country's deficit and the deteriorating economic situation are only likely to be met with a backlash from angry spaniards but it's taken group's reports the more public frustration grows the harsher the authorities response becomes. the spanish police forcibly arresting a student his main crime filming what he interpreted to be police brutality. by oh f. i mean the police as usual stopped a family of immigrants and began to beat a nineteen year old woman i took my cell phone and started to film it is an action but he paid for them and i thought on them what i was threatened with death beaten

and locked up in a cell i was out of touch for thirty nine hours i was told only sent to prison for three years. cases of offices allegedly abusing their powers on the ranis for a long time such scenes have remained relatively unknown but now the spate of mass demonstrations gripping spain bringing officers actions to the forefront this crowd is not bring in the spirit of the old now so that represents the problems facing the right age is that message. isn't going anywhere if anything is increasing as it was so true the accusations openings are static despite popular anger levelled at austerity it's only recently there's been an apparent hardening in the response by police especially since the new conservative government took charge late last year in favor of protesters felt the strong arm of the lord valencia what started as peace with them a stray sion was met with batons tear gas and rubber bullets i sure never said we

cannot allow young men to be had in the face while handcuffed because the only thing that slaps in the face here is democracy. but even the anger within parliament falls on deaf ears at the top my daughter but at the majority of meetings in february were not legal means that there was no reason to institute proceedings against any policeman. but this is no isolated event over in barcelona after last month's general strike there yet more clashes with police the rest are made very few became public knowledge has been in office here in spain there is an obsession to conceal the crime statistic no one knows it except the governments that we always act according to police good advice based on this we know whether to be permissive or not. on the receiving end of public outcry more and more people are labeling the police as protectors of unpopular policy with officers

increasingly accused of breaking the very laws they're supposed to uphold. groups r.t. madrid spain and in the us critics also claim justice is rarely self when it comes to matters of police brutality a recent report by an international human rights group blames the persistent use of tasers by officers for five hundred deaths in america over the past ten years covering are the managing director of reason dot com says strict national guidelines are needed to protect the public from extreme police measures. there are questions about our situations that in the past might have been resolved by you know let's hang back and wait till this person comes down let's. pick him up at the next block after he runs out of breath or something like that become situations where officers clearly move in and just try and take possession of a person in

a way that they wouldn't have in the past so we have a lot of video of that that is the big question i mean we why do we have to have this kind of force against people who are not on of the one of the people is a guy in san bernardino county named alan kept part this gentle guy that you know the whole community knew him has almost like a forrest gump figure he was tasered to death he was tasered nineteen times by. you know there were probes in his flesh to prove it there's a civil case going on the officers were all excused all he is accused of apparently and the police reports are so opaque that it's been very hard to figure it out but apparently all he did was honk at a sheriff who may or may not have cut him off in traffic having violent offenders afraid of them is fine i don't know that all of the population should necessarily be afraid of the police. you're watching r.t. still ahead for us this hour on the program of the ongoing struggle for except we talk to

a community who returned to the land of their ancestors in israel only to find their spiritual home was one of discrimination and social injustice. that we met the run one russian family so big they can't all fit into one picture and they say the main problem they have now are usually is just being able to remember everybody's. now more than twenty people remain in hospital after a series of explosions rocked the ukrainian city of than appropriate a total of thirty were injured when four consecutive blasts went off within an hour all in public areas it caused widespread panic the suspected terror attack stoked fear not only among the locals but also abroad as the country prepares to host the euro two thousand and twelve football tournament in june with his supporters are to select a scheme. for some residents of new but a bit of skin ukraine their regular dry majority through the city was cut short

because look at me just go to. explosion. but those were smashed the windows shattered well i remember that when i got up there was smoke and dust everywhere and women were crying. i was selling tickets when it came out of nowhere i grabbed my knees trying to hold on there was blood all over i got out sat down on a bench and blacked out it was a powerful blast the trousers i was wearing were all covered in holes i couldn't see if my legs were injured it's not like it's a horror of previously unseen in ukraine's third largest city for homemade explosive devices hidden in trash cans detonated one after another tram stops even doctors admitted they were startled to see so many severely injured. we have been treating people mostly for shrapnel injuries to the bark chest or face this is some of what we've removed from the patients bodies so the one man's arm was almost

completely ripped off from the branson as is being amputated no. unable to save it he is the most serious injuries of all the victims we're treating for many hours the city was gripped by panic people stayed in their offices fearing more blasts public transport were suspended cell phone connection was down twitter was flooded with messages of not four but ten explosions which proved to be mere speculation given the well coordinated nature of the blast authorities had no doubt this was a terrorist attack. it's another challenge for us for zero country so we're going to think of a proper response to it. well we'll find a way to tackle it we'll have the best investigators working on this case ukraine is not known to have any terrorist organizations operating on its soil and all explosions in the past were treated as acts of hooliganism by authorities and the

timing of this attack just could not be warse not only the country is going through difficult political times with some already using the blast to gain points but is also about to welcome many guests from abroad the attacks on people are still being investigated but they already have very serious implications we are only forty days away from the start of the euro twenty two well football championship in ukraine and poland and the authorities are now under severe pressure to reconcile the hundreds of thousands of football fans who will be coming here. to let's see russia ski r.t. reporting from kiev in ukraine and more pictures and video footage of the string of blasts in ukraine available on our website twenty four hours a day just head over to our two top com.

it's a quarter past the hour here in moscow and this is our to you with me rory solution u.s. secret service agents will have to tread carefully from now on the softer a sex scandal forced bosses to crack down on bad behavior the new rules were issued in the wake of accusations that american personnel brought prostitutes to their hotels during foreign trips among the allegations also juicy details involving agents and the white house staff right here in the heart of the russian capital with more on this as well as the new restrictions is ati's tom bottom. the new

conduct rules include a list a ban on heavy drinking and agents have to stop drinking ten hours before they next to go to work there's also a prohibition on visiting disreputable establishment or from bringing foreigners back to hotel rooms and chaperones will accompany agents on trips to keep them in line this all comes after twelve agents were suspended after reportedly bringing prostitutes back to their rooms in colombia ahead of the visit by president barack obama he called the agents in question knuckleheads and the congressional investigation into that incident has also been expanded to include another incident in two thousand and eleven in el salvador of a similar nature all of this suggests that official comments that what happened in colombia was an aberration may indeed not be the case and it appears that here in moscow the scandal may have spread here as well on this central street it's famous

for its entertainment venues bars and clubs and one club in particular may have become connected to this scandal the american newspaper the wall street journal quoted informed sources are saying that in june two thousand american secret service agents reportedly visited the hungry dark night club a very raucous place noted for its wild parties and i was ahead of a visit by then president bill clinton it became famous for its raucous nature of the hungry duck especially it's ladies' night including a mass strip tease by nine hundred twenty women hungry duck closed in two thousand and nine after years of problems with your forest but all of these stories are going to do little to calm the swirling storm of controversy around the u.s. secret service. tom barton reporting right there want to forget we're also covering all of these stories online or just at r t dot. let's have

a look and see what else is waiting for you there right now for example of one of delicacy becomes fast food a black caviar eating contest is being held here in the russian capital tracting masses of crowds eager to participate. at a childish behavior u.s. security services a closed down and entire airport after discovering that a baby hadn't been screened properly those details also at r.t. . you know just a few minutes is the world update on our team but for now they consider themselves to be descendants of an ancient tribe in existence in the promise land for thousands of years however returning to home soil they've been faced with the government oppression and struggle to be properly recognized with this story as

artist paula sleep. deep in israel's negative desired other women serve an ancient people trying to build a modern homeland but these mostly black americans are not jews nor do they profess to be instead they call themselves african he is with knights descendants of ancient israel we sing about the river jordan we didn't sing about mali or song timbuktu we sing about jericho jerusalem in canaan flint. and the songs were passed down through the generations born and brought up in the united states they believe that when the ancient jerusalem temple was destroyed by the romans their ancestors fled to east africa from where they were taken to america as slaves in one thousand nine hundred sixty six chicago still work ben-ami been used well had a vision that it was time to return home everyone is called according to their portion and our portion was you know to establish the kingdom of your and the kingdom of your represents

a new idea you know upon the planet and so ben-ami set forth with some four hundred people who much like moses in the bible spent two and a half years wondering in liberia before reaching the promised land when the enemy arrived here in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine just under half of those who had left america with him had managed to finish the journey this was to become their home here in the negev desert but successive israeli governments made their lives difficult because ironically while the country is founded on the so-called law of return these were tourney's are not seen as jewish although many feel the issue runs deeper than that when you go to the worst you have a problem with color just a matter of color. and so these people of color are often dismissed by mainstream israeli society for years their children could not attend the local schools they had no health care they were marked for deportation but despite the obstacles and the ongoing struggle for recognition they take pride in the traditions and we

understand that now they can claim their polygamous strict weakens make sure everyone follows an exercise program and are big supporters of preventative health care we are an integral part of the state of israel this was the vehicle that was used to bring us back to the promised land and it's here in the desert wasteland that the community has multiplied more than sixty fold since it first came to the negative they say their intention is to be an example of peace and light to other nations and worship god not religion policy or r.t. dimona or into the r.c. world are we go starting with ukraine whether trower former prime minister opposition leader yulia tymoshenko on fresh tax evasion charges has now been delayed until late may the court ruled the case cannot be heard in the absence of tymoshenko who refuses to attend the trial citing health problems she was already serving a prison term for abuse of office on friday photos emerged of bruises on two machines

his body which she says she received while in prison and earlier online video showing a woman thought to be the ex prime minister walking freely rather than raised questions over her alleged ill health. and you satellite image appears to show north korea is preparing to test its nuclear capabilities earlier this month south korean officials reported the digging of a new tunnel near the north's nuclear facility which led to believe pyongyang is secretly planning a. north korea has already been condemned by the u.n. security council for a failed long range rocket launch on april thirteenth and could face tougher sanctions if it goes ahead with yet another it's unclear though when a possible detonation at this point might take place. the romanian government has collapsed following a vote of no confidence this marks the second time in three months such a collapse has occurred amid tough austerity policies the country's president named

the left wing opposition leader as the new prime minister those subject to parliamentary approval two years of cuts have led to widespread frustration and protests in romania in recent months. and austerity measures lead to the fall of yet another european government some are beginning to question if this is a global recession or something even worse our resident laurie half finished in new york there she is to find out what people there have to think on the matter. are we living through the second great depression and just don't know it this week let's talk about that do you think it the second great depression we're in where the hard question i hope is not maybe some places away easily agrees hopefully not very easily either but i wouldn't say that these only is a great depression do you think it's worse in some places and better in others.

it's the worst thing since the great depression probably the second great depression it'll be known in the future as the second worst of the depression yes why are we calling met that now i don't know did they call the great depression the great depression well was happening exactly yes i don't want to use the word the big deal word depression because a by the phrase that once depression happened to hold their money and we've been taught sold strictly to spend spend spend spend so we stop spending because of depression then things get worse so they don't want that to happen so they'll wait for the history books to call this officially depression and yes if we admit that we're doing things wrong which we should do everybody else you know everything else will take two so they want to be getting out of it as soon as we admit it. we just need to admit there's a problem it's always the first. whether or not we're living through the second great depression the bottom line is probably no one's going to have the nerve to college bad until it's over.

and a few moments it's our lives to the technology update but for now with that of a baby boom blues recent figures show that only three percent of russian families are choosing to have more than three children. pushed over the household bucking the trend boasting a brood a small like a family forest rather than that of a family tree did it and he made that i knew if you missed. trying hard to prove he knows all of his one hundred and eleven siblings and cousins my heart out of which only fourteen brothers and sisters are his own and two that all of the onsen uncles and that's one family a bit difficult to keep track of. putting names to face is not a problem the most difficult thing really is remembering everyone's birthdays every other day we sometimes even have three of. them were under a says their parents had only thirteen children with each of his siblings and it up

with many kids of their own so the reality of having children for the chaparral family is taken to a completely different level. than having one child that doesn't really count having to guessing their birth three that counts as having a child clearly this is the largest family in the client has fifteen children to me especially when i was asked as a child what i wanted to be when i grow up i always said mother now our little when he grows up he'll be a father so the tradition continues and here is the happy grandfather of the one hundred and twelve as well as the great grandfather of another ten great grandsons and exceeding knowledge says his secret is loving everyone. so much there are people who are happy now buying a car or building

a country house that's fine by me but my joy is internal i look at all of them they are my riches that neither moscow nor rust can eat away and no sleep can steal from me and since his memory is far from being as good as that of his grandson even but he keeps all his records in order. that all your talk with years everyone starting from my first grandson in one thousand nine hundred two with those written in bold. boys i tell exchange girls what i'm not ashamed of how i live my life i want to know mine and it wasn't easy but i knew i had to raise them all so i still want to help them and do something good so they remember forever. and while his grand kids fight for attention to be granddaddy's favorite of the day it's turned out pretty much impossible to get them all into one shot to do it you've heard. that before they say once children grow up and leave home of the empty nest

syndrome often hits their parents home and so it seems the only guarantee to never feel alone is having more children carry a pushover r.t. . already not just a few minutes or hours he will be exploring of the latest cutting edge devices and our technology update there before about a quick wrap up of our top story. the
