cyber security act called may soon spin into the streets the hacker group anonymous is responding to the bill by launching what it's called 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 that supports this but the bill passed through the house of representatives on friday and is now on its way to the senate president obama has threatened to veto the measure citing privacy concerns if made nor the act will permit u.s. based internet companies to legally share private information with the american government journalist david seaman explains what he believes are the dangers behind it. 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 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 or 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. from the magazine spiked believes 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 america specifically we've recently had arrests of individuals for encouraging. 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. we're always going to get your view on our stories here on our web site r.t. dot com is asking how far do you think the legislation will get some of the results on the screen now so far more than forty percent of you think that it will become but only after the presidential election a little of believe it will spread its influence beyond the u.s. as other countries adopt similar laws the rest are almost equally divided between thinking about will veto this bill after the senate vote that a toned down version of take over of what you don't call to cast your vote. so you can make an informed choice we've compiled an extensive background for you how it differs from previous cybersecurity acts supports it why they support it you can learn all of that also their. unique take on the issue.

to build a new. mission to teach creation and why you should care about. this is why you should care only. spain is now in a crisis of enormous magnitude with unemployment at twenty five percent above that of even nigeria the government submission however is seen merely. meant one felt by millions of spaniards taking to the streets in protest but as reports with so many out of work tolerance for dissent is i don't you know. 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 and 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 thought on 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 sent to prison for three years even if you know cases of offices allegedly abusing their powers are on the rise for a long time such scenes have remained relatively unknown but now the spate of mass demonstrations gripping spain bring officers actions to the forefront this crowd does not bring in the scales of the ouster that represents the problems facing the right age is that message. isn't going away if anything is increasing as it was so true 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 peaceful demonstration was met with batons tear gas and rubber bullets i sure never said if we can't 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 after that the majority of meetings in february were not legal means that there was no reason to institute proceedings against any policeman as 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 there. made but very few became public knowledge and as prime minister in spain there is an obsession to conceal the crime statistic no one knows it except the governments yet and we always act according to political advice based on this

we know whether it's to be been missive or not the last 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. your group's r.t. madrid spain. in the u.s. has also strong concern over health far and withheld much immunity police can push their sweeping powers a recent human rights group report blamed north forstmann officers for tasering five hundred people to death over the last decade and tim cavanaugh the managing director of reason dot com says for americans the first reaction to police is fear rather than trust. 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 them up at the next block after 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 we have a lot of video that is that they 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 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. coming up in just a few minutes here in the u.s. secret service opens up about it for volleys of. good behavior so as agents you can find out what cools the something. russia freezes hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets in european banks but loaning to tycoons and bodyguards by the most one of those here is the infamous exiled but he's got his own skin. when you try next ukrainian prime minister has been put off until late may due to absence you to machine because he's accused of financial irregularities when she had a gas company in the ninety nine he's refused to attend the hearing citing health concerns but he said. not only believes 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 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 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 more controversy 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 it'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. the u.s. is quietly deployed a contingent of his latest the most sophisticated jet the f. twenty two raptor to the united arab emirates pentagon officials have been quick to defend the move once details emerge saying they're only there for regional security when i asked jason did she's a new senator and antiwar don't call me if the deployment of the three hundred stealth jets would achieve the desired results. of course it's not going to bring any security at all if anything it's going to increase tensions in the region convince the iranian government that next month's talks in baghdad are not serious and that the u.s. is simply negotiating in bad faith once again i think it is largely symbolic it's

the fact that there are rumored to be organizing a simulated attack run on iran with the cooperation of israel particularly since it's supposed to come just ahead of the baghdad talks it's politically very popular to have that have a major threat that you're in the process of dealing with and how much better when that threat is entirely illusory in this case both israel and the united states are very interested in portraying iran as as a matter of months from acquiring nuclear weapons but they've been saying this since the one nine hundred eighty s. and of course the cia and mossad have both found that iran abandoned what was a very preliminary exploration into nuclear weapons programs almost a decade ago. chase and it's going to be a lady here in europe is frozen three hundred twenty million dollars worth of

a mission to bring down the reputed and i quote by force and he has been seen as having a close relationship with some chechen militants in particular. who is wanted by russia on terrorism but looking at this from a broader perspective this whole operation between russia and the e.u. it is a step forward it is a significant mark of progress in terms of the two two sides implementing judicial request on working together on the eagle issues and that's of course despite some political and diplomatic disagreements. which account more of what the when in fact a little later we'll be talking about the hungry dark venue that's concerning some cia agents that's a story coming your way but in the meantime we've got some details about the famous hungry dog which closed down over thirty years ago you can find out all about on our web site also this is what else is working for you don't you don't come visit to the netherlands will soon have to show. as

china and we've also seen the president elect wanted to metaphor to and president medvedev really praising china sort of saying that it should be the main focus and saying that it is a place of rapid development a very big contract with the eastern energy company and the state power grid of china which signed a long term contract totaling about twenty five years which would under the contract be russia not far eastern company will supply electricity to china through interstate electric transmission we've seen friday the end of the military drills in the yellow sea the general director for those drills pointing that out and saying that the naval drill was a complete success mainly focusing on those six day maneuvers and watching out for that air defense and really just involving exercises with that air traffic marine search rescue operation not to mention just last year between the two countries russia china relations we saw

a contract being signed where if further contracts were signed those contracts could be paid for in their own currency is therefore excluding the dollar excluding the euro we also see both countries sharing similar views on syria and on libya so that's another thing that both nations do agree very much on so yet again a very positive move certainly seeing those relations strengthen and continue so all in all very good news. current toshi that they consider themselves descendants of an ancient tribe which has been existence in the promised land for thousands of use for some the journey back is taken years but at the end of the pilgrimage they were faced with government oppression the very place they thought of as home. from as a struggle for recognition. 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 hebrew israelites descendants of ancient

who'd 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 a tradition is we understand that they can play their 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

question our 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 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 worst of the depression yes why are we calling that that now i don't know do they call the great depression the great depression well it was happening exactly yes i don't want to use the word the big deal word depression because everybody's afraid 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 a 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 of what are we getting out of it as soon as we admit it. we just need to admit there's

a problem it's always the first step. 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. the u.s. secret service is pledged to run a toy to ship having issued a set of new rules for as agents a crackdown on rules she behavior comes in the wake of accusations american personnel were involved with prostitutes during foreign trips his time bomb with more on the new restrictions and some spicy details on the earliest 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 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 has quoted informed sources as 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 forests but all of these stories are going to do little to calm the swirling storm of controversy around the u.s. secret service. reporting up to twenty seven minutes past the hour. martin andrews will be getting behind the wheel of some vintage cars most go out before that with a recap of your top stories stay with us live here this is r.t. in moscow.
