the new u.s. cyber security act it's called. and that anger may soon spill out onto the streets the hacker group anonymous is responding to the bill by launching what it's calling operation defense phase two. we are calling upon the citizens of the united states to physically protest over the coming two months a number of protests will be held decrying companies the support. of the bill has passed through the house of representatives that happened on friday it's now on its way to the senate president obama has threatened to veto the measure citing privacy concerns if made law the act will permit u.s. based internet companies to legally share private user information with the american government journalist david seaman explains what he believes that the danger is behind. here going after people before they've even committed anything illegal. in the case that they added to that amendment 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 web site you visit and do all of these things without telling you and b. without obtaining a warrant or getting any kind of court involvement for the book 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 you know 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 look through all of our activities and meantime. from the online magazines he believes that is a blatant violation of the first amendment of the us constitution. 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 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 here at r.t. we are always going to get your take on the stories that we're covering r.t. dot com that's where we're asking you were do you think this whole legislation will go over the numbers for a vis our from the website so far more than forty percent of you think the system will become law but only after the presidential election little under a third believe it or spread his influence beyond the u.s. or the rest are almost equally divided between thinking that obama will veto cispa after the senate vote or that are turned down version will take effect you still have time to cast your vote log on to our dot com. so you can make an informed

choice so we've compiled an extensive background on source for for you how it differs from previous cybersecurity who supported and why all that if you do an online also there are other. mission to teach me. why you should. only. in the heart of moscow are. now in a crisis of enormous magnitude with unemployment at an astounding twenty five percent above the level of unemployment in nigeria the government's admission however. felt by millions of spaniards taking to the streets in

protest but as. reports with so many out of work tolerance for dissent. the spanish police forcibly arresting a student whose main crime filming what he interpreted to be police brutality. the police as usual stopped a family of immigrants began to beat a nineteen year old woman i took my cell phone and started to film it's an action that he paid for them and i thought on them what they mean you know i was threatened with death beaten and locked up in a cell i was out of touch for thirty nine hours i was told i would be sent to prison for three years even if you know cases of offices allegedly abusing their powers on the rise for a long time such scenes have remained relatively unknown but now the spate of mass demonstrations gripping spain bringing officer's actions to the forefront this

crowd is not bringing the scales of the house that represents the problems they see already is that message that i got isn't going away if anything is increasing as it does so surely i could ations of police brutality 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 a peaceful demonstration was met with batons tear gas and rubber bullets i am sure never said if we can't allow young men to be hit in the face while handcuffed because the only thing that slaps in the face here is democracy and then the diva an anger within parliament foods on deaf ears at the top my daughter but of to that the majority of meetings in february were not a legal matter when it means that there was no reason to institute proceedings

against any policeman or because he took it on but this is no isolated event over in barcelona after last month's general strike there yet more clashes with police. the rest were made but very few became public knowledge in his prime minister in spain there is an obsession to consume the crime statistics no one knows it except the governments yet and we always act according to police good advice but raised in these we know whether to be given not much you run the last one of them on the receiving end of public outcry and more people are labeling the police as protectors of popular policy with officers increasingly accused of breaking the very laws they supposed to uphold. to here greece madrid spain. and in the united states there's also strong concern over just how far and with how much immunity police can push their sweeping powers a recent if you want to rights group report blamed law enforcement officers for

tasering five hundred people to death over the last decade and tim cavanagh the managing director of reason dot com says for americans the first reaction to police is not trust rather it's fear. there are questions about our situations that in the past might have been resolved by you know let's hang back and wait for this person . 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 you know possession of a person in a way that they wouldn't have in the past we have a lot of video that that is the big question i mean we why do we have to have this kind of force against people who are not 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 as you know almost like a forrest gump figure he was tasered to death he was tasered nineteen times by.

you know there were words that were probes in his flesh to prove it there's a civil case going on the officers were all excuse 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 so ten minutes past the hour here in the russian capital still to come in just a few minutes here in the program that of other u.s. secret service tightening the screws new behavior rules room post on its agents find out what caused the sudden crackdown on bad behavior. plus we meet a russian households where every one of over one hundred siblings believes the key to family happiness is simply.

a new trial of an ex a korean prime minister has been put off until late may due to her absent yulia timoshenko who's accused of financial irregularities what she had to do a gas company in the ninety's refused to attend the hearing this because she was citing health concerns with this report artie's alexia she asked. not only you that i'm ashamed to believe that this case against her is completely politicized and orchestrated by the government she even reportedly went on a hunger strike to support the claim but also in the latest twist she claims that she was physically abused by wardens in the prison where she spends her prison time now that happened when she was to be transported to a clinic to have her reported spinal hemorrhage treated she believe she claims that the wards covered her and blanket and landed several punches on her and this week of photos of her bruises were made public on the internet certainly made a lot of noise here in ukraine and internationally now on the other hand there was a video published as well showing tymoshenko walking three in her cell as if denying the claims that she has severe back problems that has been reported by her

defending lawyers and also basically giving the idea that she may be simulating this disease of hers now certainly this case has been drawing thousands of people into the streets both for and against the former prime minister this time it's no exception with thousands literally beseeching the court building in hiding from the city of haifa and the prison where she is being kept and this also spurns a more control over see with some in the crowd claiming that friday's terrorist attack in the city of detroit schools orchestrated by the government to draw the attention from the tymoshenko case certainly that's a very wild rollercoaster right i'd like to remind you of it was that she is now spending seven years in prison for the abuse of power and this new cases all about her economic activity in the ninety's and some believe that she may be also found guilty and have her already big sentence extended by twelve years at least. so next year to shift your reporting right i want to still go on the here on the program always in the midst of a global depression. we've been on so was strictly to spend to spend to spend to

spend so we stop spending because of the depression then things get worse following yet another european financial collapse this time in romania the rest of asks a first time to admit the problem may be more widespread than we thought. the u.s. secret service has pledged to run a tight ship having issued a set of new rules for its agents the crackdown on raunchy behavior comes in the wake of accusations that american personnel were involved with prostitutes during foreign trips to his office he is tom bachman with more on the new restrictions and some rather spicy details on an earlier scandal right here in the heart of moscow. the new conduct rules include a list a ban on heavy drinking and agents have to stop drinking ten hours before they next

go to work there's also a probation on visiting disreputable establishment or from the bringing foreigners back to hotel rooms farmers 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 there 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 for a very raucous place noted for its while parties hours ahead of a visit by then president bill clinton it became famous for its raucous nature of the hungry dark especially its ladies' night including a mass strip tease by nine hundred twenty women hungry dark clothes in two thousand and nine after years of problems with your fora tease but all of these stories are going to do little to calm the swirling storm of controversy around the u.s. secret service that is top bottom right there well you can check out more of what the infamous hungry duck venue had to offer before a. shutdown those details on our website or here's what i was astounded by for you right now at r.t. dot com more than a ton of waste from the international space station it will be buried today

a mission control says it will plunge into the waters of the pacific in an area that is known as a space ship and cemetery. and of visitors to the netherlands will soon have to shun the tastes for so-called space cakes as the country begins cracking down on drug tourists next week. now they consider themselves descendants of an ancient tribe which has been in existence in the promised land for thousands of years for some of the journey back has taken years but at the end of their pilgrimage they were faced with a government oppression in the very place they thought of as. has been following their struggle for recognition. deep in israel's native desert other women of 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. descendants of ancient israel we sing about the river jordan we didn't think about mali or song timbuktu we sing about jericho jerusalem in canaan. 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 steel worker 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 that to establish the kingdom of your and the kingdom of your represents a new idea 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 sixty 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 into it the worst you have a problem with color. of course. 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 a tradition is we understand the dynamics that was taking place there polygamous strict feagles 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 native 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. let's kick off the r.t. world update with out of malaysia now and police have used tear gas and water cannons to disperse tens of thousands of protesters all of them on the streets of the malaysian capital demonstrators led by an opposition in the back reform group believe the current electoral system is handing good advantage to the ruling coalition and they're demanding it should be changed at least twenty are being arrested in one of the country's largest rallies over the past decade at. un observers have arrived in the syrian city of idlib following reports of the deteriorating situation in the region the visit comes after the government highlighted a surge in murders and kidnapping cases reportedly carried out by armed groups in

the country meanwhile lebanon has seized a cache of weapons aboard a syria bound ship on its territory the cargo was apparently being smuggled in for syrian rebel forces and contained artillery shells rockets rocket launchers and rifles. romania's government has collapsed following a no confidence vote its just two months after taking office tough austerity policies led to the second government fall in three months the country's president has nominated left wing opposition leader as the new prime minister who is subject to parliamentary approval in recent months as thousands of protesters are all across romania following two years of harsh words. and we've got another european government falling due to austerity measures some are questioning if the global implications are even more serious than we first thought our new york resident laurie half mast has been out to try and understand why.

are we living through this second great depression and just don't know it this week let's talk about that do you think it's the second great depression we're in. a hard question i hope it's not maybe some places late easily agrees hopefully not very easily either but i wouldn't say that these all is a great depression do you think it's worse in some places than better now though. it's the worst thing since the great depression probably the second great depression it'll be known in the future as the second depression yes why are we calling that it that now i don't know did they call the great depression the great depression well was happening exactly you know they don't want to use the word the big deal word depression because by the free that once depression can hold their money and we've been taught so strictly to spend spend spend spend so we stop spending because the depression thing and 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 this second great depression the bottom line is probably no one's going to have the nerve to call it bad until it's over. i went off from the cause a report here on r t but for now we're going to call a distant cousin you talk to only once a year just to wish them a happy birthday but imagine the plight of one extended russian family that artie's daria has been to meet they have more than one hundred birthdays to remember with quite a few even on the same day. they did read that i knew if you missed trying

hard to prove you know all of his one hundred and eleven siblings and cousins my heart out of which only fourteen brothers and sisters are his own and to 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 or. under a says that parents had only thirteen children but 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. i don't regret it at all and having one child doesn't really count having two that's guessing the three now that counts as having a child he won't that is the largest family in the clan has fifteen children. when i was asked as a child what i wanted to be when i grow up i always said i'm

a mother now our legal one 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 see polish says his secret is loving everyone. but castro mushy 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 no secrets steal from me and since his memory is far from being as good as that of it rents are leaving him and. all his records. oh you went back with years everyone starting from my first grandson in one thousand eight hundred two with those written in both our boys tonics girls i'm not ashamed of how i live my life i want

you know mine and it wasn't easy the you know what i knew i had to raise them all and 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 with earth. though still work they say once children grow up and leave home the empty nest syndrome often hits that parents home so it seems the only guarantee to never feel alone is having more children daria pushed over r.t. . all right have back with more in just a minute here are recap of the headlines and the kaiser report.
