cyber security act called may soon spill onto the streets of 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 number of protests will be held decrying companies that supports this but the bill passed through the house of representatives on friday now it's on its way to the senate president obama has threatened to veto the measure citing privacy concerns now if made law that will permit u.s. based internet companies to legally share private user information with the american government journalist david seaman explains what he believes of the dangers. 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 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 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 and samuel from the online magazine spike to believe that is a blatant violation of the first amendment of the u.s. 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 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. now here at r.t. we always love it when you get involved with stories here particularly the stories we're covering on air and the one of the moment is regarding. dot com we're asking how far you think this is for legislation will go here are your numbers for the past one hour more than forty percent of you at this point think it will become law but only after the presidential election. there are believe it will spread its influence beyond the u.s. the rest are almost equally divided between thinking that obama will veto after the senate vote toned down over the fact there still is time dot com

and cast your vote. and so you can make an informed choice we've compiled an extensive background on system for you how it differs from previous cybersecurity supported and why you can learn all of that online also there though have a look at a. rather unique take on the issue. in the secret laboratory. was able to build a most sophisticated. doesn't sound anything. to teach me the creation of why you should care about humans in. this is why you should care only dot com and r.t. is coming to life from moscow spain is now in a crisis of enormous magnitude with unemployment at an astounding twenty five percent above unemployment levels even out of nigeria where the government said

mission however is seen merely as an acknowledgement of reality one felt by millions of spaniards taking to the streets in protest but as jacob greets reports with so many out of work tolerance for dissent is out in eula. the spanish police forcibly arresting a student whose main crime filming what he interpreted to be police brutality. by oh if i mean the police as usual stopped a family of immigrants began to beat in one thousand year old woman i took my cell phone and started to film it is an action but he paid for them and i found them what they mean and 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 recent to prison for three years. 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 bring offices actions to the forefront this crowd is not bringing the scales of the ouster that represents the problems facing the right age is that message. isn't going anywhere if anything is increasing as it was so to the accusations 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 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 anger within parliament fools on deaf ears at the top of my daughter but if they're the majority

of meetings in february we're not legal it means that there is no reason to institute proceedings against any policeman or people but this is no isolated event over in barcelona after last month's general strike there yet more clashes with police. wrestler made very few became public knowledge in his prime minister 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 the last one of them 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 u.s. there's also strong concern over how far and with how much immunity police can push

their sweeping powers and one recent human rights group report blamed law enforcement officers for tasering five hundred people to death over the last decade and ten kavanaugh the managing director of reason dot com says for americans the first reaction to police is not trust 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 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 and one of the people is a guy in san bernardino county named alan kept part this is

a 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 are words that 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 on t.v. it's good to have you with us today still to come just a few minutes away here in the program both of the u.s. secret service tightening the screws. good behavior rules are imposed on its agents find out what course the sun cracked down on behavior. plus we need a russian household where every one of over one hundred siblings believe that the

key to family happiness is simply that of. a new trial of ukrainian prime minister the. prime minister has been put off until late may due to her absence yulia timoshenko she was accused of financial irregularities when she had a gas company the ninety's i refused to attend the hearing citing health concerns with this report on to use alexy out of sheer scale. 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 in her hand this week a 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 freely 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 where thousands literally beseeching the court building in hiding in the city of hide and the prison where she is being kept and this also spurns more control over see with some in the crowd claiming that friday's terrorist attack in the city of the put off school was orchestrated by the government to draw the attention from the tymoshenko case certainly that's a very wild roller coaster ride i'd like to remind all of you 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.

porting there will still to come here in the program we in the midst of a global depression. we've been sold strictly to spend spend spend spend so we stop spending because of the pressure and then think again you know we're following yet another european financial collapse this time in romania and the president asks if it's time to admit the problem may be more widespread than we thought. europe has frozen a three hundred twenty million dollars worth of assets belonging to former tycoons on the run from russian authorities among those who have had their assets seized is full an oligarchy boris berezovsky currently living in asylum in london for more on the whole joint operation between europe and russia let's cross over to brussels others are. good to see you can you bring us up to speed exactly what's what's happened here. right well what happened here is that the overseas property and some

of the bank accounts of several individuals charged in high profile cases in russia have been season at the request of the russian prosecutor's office of three hundred twenty million dollars worth of assets were confiscated in france switzerland monaco and ukraine and one of those individuals that are charging one of these cases is of course. now he is a controversial and high profile of the guard who has reportedly said that thirteen billion thirteen million excuse me euros worth of his assets were taken in france so this is in connection to some embezzlement cases leveled against him by russia so his relationship with russia is strange to say the least but it does go beyond just financial criminal cases leveled against him in the past he had said that he is on a mission to bring down the vladimir putin and i quote by force and also he has see he was seen to have had close relationship with relationships with some chechen

militants in particular. who is wanted by russia on acts of terrorism but looking at this from a broader perspective this cooperation between russia and its european partners does show a step forward it is a significant process in terms of cooperation in legal issues or implementing a judicial requests of course despite some of diplomatic and political disagreements there. brussels thanks. r.t. is coming to you live from moscow and the u.s. secret service has pledged to run a tight ship having issued a set of new conduct rules for its agents and the crackdown on raunchy behavior comes in the wake of accusations that american personnel were involved with prostitutes during foreign trips are bought and now reports more on the new restrictions also on some rather spicy details on an earlier scandal that happened 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 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 the hungry duck especially its 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. reporting there where you can check out more of what the infamous hungry duck venue had to offer before we shut down those details on our website

r.t. dot com here's what else we have waiting for you there right now for example visitors to the netherlands will soon have to shun the tastes for so-called space cakes as the country begins cracking down on drug tourism that starting next week. also more than a ton of waste from the international space station will be buried today mission control says it will plunge into the waters of the pacific in an area that is known as a space ship cemetery. in just a few moments as the arts the world update but for now they consider themselves descendants of an ancient try which has been in existence in the promised land for thousands of years for some the journey back has taken years but at the end of the pilgrimage

they were faced with government opposition in the very place they thought of as home. follows their struggle for recognition. deep in israel's negative desert 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. 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 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 healthcare they were marked for deportation but despite the obstacles and the ongoing struggle for recognition they take pride in the traditions and we understand. they can play 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 problem. 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. news from malaysia stars the r.t. world update here police have used tear gas and water cannons to disperse tens of thousands of protesters who took to the streets of the malaysian capital demonstrators led by an opposition backed reform group of the current electoral

system is a handing advantage to the ruling coalition bonding it should be changed at least twenty you've been arrested in one of the country's largest rallies in the past decade. u.n. observers have arrived in the syrian city of live following reports of the deteriorating situation in the region and 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 a border a syrian abound 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 vote of no confidence this just two months after taking office tough austerity policies led to the second government fall in three months the country's president has nominated the left wing opposition leader as the new prime minister though

subject of parliamentary approval in recent months thousands of protesters all across romania following two years of harsh cuts. and with yet 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 n'est has been trying to find out. 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's the second great depression wherein. 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 will be known in the future as the second worst of the depression yes why are we calling that that now i don't know did they call the great depression the great depression well was happening exactly yeah they don't want to use the word the big deal or depression because a by the phrase i once depression happened by going to hold their money and we've been taught so strictly to spend to spend to spend to 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 yes if we admit that we're doing things wrong which we should do everybody else you know everything else will take two years and 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 call it bad until it's over.

twenty five minutes past the hour here in the russian capital if you have a forgotten to call a distant cousin you talk to only once a year just to wish them happy birthday one of the plight of one extended russian family that aussies daria pushed over spain to meet have more than one hundred. with quite a few even occurring on the same day. did it. seem i knew him is 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 and add to that all of the onsen uncles and that's one family a bit difficult to keep track of. putting names to faces no problem the most difficult thing really is remembering everyone's birthdays every other day we sometimes even have three or four per day under a says their 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 didn't even look at anyone having one child that doesn't really count having two that's guessing they're both three now that counts as having a child at that is the largest family in the client has fifteen children. when i was asked as a child what i wanted to be when i grow up i always said a mother now our legal and 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 college says his secret is loving everyone. but gas for mushy there are people who are happy 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 the theme except pavlovitch keeps all his records in order. oh you were back with piers everyone starting from my first grandson in one thousand eighty two those written in boulder boys tallackson girls i'm not ashamed of how i live my life i worked in a mine and it wasn't easy but 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 me 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. bertha that is the work they say once children grow up and leave home of the empty nest

syndrome often hits their parents hard so it seems the only guarantee to never feel alone is having more children carry a pushover r.t. . all right in just a few minutes here on out here we explore the latest cutting edge devices and our technology update however before that i'll be back with a recap of our top stories. they've
