8:01 am
hello and welcome to our to you where we broadcast you law of all screen and online twenty four hours a day and seven days a week well a court in bahrain has delayed the verdict in the trial of twenty human rights activists until next month it's not been confirmed whether prominent activists know his among them it's his prosecution that's galvanize the shiite rebels in their eighteen month long fight for equal rights from the sunni monarchy that all calms as fresh clashes flared up in one of the largest cities of all the protesters there were met with tear gas and rubber bullets were reported injuries and arrests be over a job is currently serving his latest three month sentence for making anti-government comments on twitter and taking part in an illegal gathering geo political analyst patrick huntington believes despite calls from u.s. lawmakers to release for us all washington is calling on the frame to suppress the rebels. in bahrain i believe they're getting their
8:02 am
marching orders directly from the ground to go in the right. just to quell and to suppress in the center and the reason is because the pentagon simply cannot afford to have a genuine uprising or any form of political instability even a country that is housing its naval fleet it's very important because right now after the election or right around the u.s. election through the war drums against iran they're going to start breeding those again and start hyping up the conflict with iran the fifth fleet is a really important piece on the chess board for the united states so obviously bahrain is going to do whatever washington said but this is in direct contradiction to hillary clinton who's grading around with the friends of syria and the arab league and talking about them about democracy while the us is funding al qaida and suicide bombers and syria so it doesn't make it there's no a lot of hypocrisy is coming out of washington when you look at the situation in
8:03 am
bahrain which is very ugly their worlds biggest global body outside the u.n. is suspending syria's membership the organization of islamic cooperation is also to hold emergency summit to agree to a resolution on the country iran is the only member of the block or has openly spoken out against sidelining to last us but several member countries like qatar and saudi arabia are pushing to mobilize support for syrian rebels current they fighting against the government as longstanding regional rivals sony dominated it we are today and shiite tukwila have taken up the stance of syria there says the syrian opposition steps up calls for a libya style intervention which there is little appetite for as one foreign policy expert told our team. there's not a great popular support in the united states for such an event and we're in the middle of campaign season leasing leading into the presidential election also we
8:04 am
have a stronger opposition in this in are we have china russia and iran all openly opposed to this so it would be a much more difficult step because one is not popular popular support for any intervention and because there are much stronger opponents abroad the reality is that the free syrian army are in a vulnerable position they don't have the capabilities that the syrian national army has and so they're seeking greater external support currently the united states and other nations are supporting the free syrian army or the opposition with huge amounts of aid this is a problematic though because. this is we're going to still mean we've been in a stalemate for months with what we've just seen more casualties but we're not seeing any advancement to any sort of al counter. so i have for you this hour frowned for the camera. growing big brother criticism in the u.s. the cia is said to be secretly spying on its own people connecting nationwide

c.c.t.v. in a bid to detect and log suspected terrorists. and we look at just fill my benefit from keeping part of asia and stable and filled with terror as we explore the largest problem of pakistan. ecuador's president says he hopes does decide on whether to grandchildren a songe political asylum later this week rafael corelle told state t.v. there was still a lot of material on international law to examine before making what he called a responsible decision julian assange has been holed up in ecuador's london embassy since june the wiki leaks editor is wanted on sex crimes charges in sweden but believes extradition to stockholm will see him shipped straight off to the u.s. to be tried for exposing secret diplomatic cables the fight to stop assad is gaining asylum has moved on line as a group of u.s. hackers have launched an attack on the wiki leaks website the internet page has
8:06 am
been down or sluggish for over a week the head of the u.k.'s pirate party last k. believes there's a bigger force behind the hackers. but we can see that there is a concerted attempt to invade. whistleblowing flying to the moment this is the appears to be the most concerning denial of service to track all regularly for some time now or do you certain the records that this group and she leaks is claimed responsibility and put out it can point in you know i'm a true statement i don't want to wiki leaks. well you know i'm kind of you don't study. but it's certainly leverage. the amount of traffic seems to amount to possibly thousands of machines now difficult to assess virtues in any of the claims it would actually seem unlikely to groups like antiques and new group
8:07 am
if we are able to mount such a sustained attack but nevertheless it's not impossible that also it is in fact possible to do this with fewer than one thousand machines but that would take some or some organization behind. later we talked to apple co-founder steve wozniak who says they wiki leaks founder julian assange has become a follower in the side of the u.s. government trying to hide the truth. on the surface it sounds to me like something that's that's good the whistleblower blew the truth the people found out what they the people had paid for you know and the government has no no no the people should not know what they paid for what the internet when it first came it was a breath of fresh air it was so free nobody own the internet space countries didn't own it they didn't control it it was worldwide it was people to people it was like we little people the world all of a sudden had this incredible resource and it wouldn't have to go through other
8:08 am
people selling it to us and delivering it to us that has changed a lot i think that a lot of social interaction will be curbed i want to take that back i fear it i fear it will be that the gate keepers those who can turn on and off switches allow certain things disallow other things allow who gets to send me data about a new movie rather than everyone have an equal say so of reaching me yeah i fear that very strongly that specially net neutrality issues like that internet freedom is being interfered with in major ways and it shouldn't i think the internet should have been considered from day one a country of its own that isn't bound by any individual country's laws maybe we could have an internet government but it didn't happen just like world government doesn't happen you know space doesn't belong to anyone the moon doesn't belong to anyone these are really beautiful principles and wife and then as soon as a country figures out a way to get control of them it disappears. you
8:09 am
can catch the full interview with apple co-founder steve wozniak in just about twenty minutes right here on our team. that americans have been delivered a surveillance slap in the face after it was revealed the u.s. government had been spying on its own set of sets software called trap wire reportedly has access to security cameras across the country and claims to be able to detect behavior associated with would be terrorists censorship and technology campaigner aaron schwartz says people's every move on line and on the street is now being watched. the n.s.a. is able to use cameras all over the country to zoom in on someone and track them wherever they go there's actually you know they they say explicitly the cameras can pan tilt and zoom in on particular faces so that wherever you are in the country at any of these high risk locations whether they're military bases or corporations or government sites they can zoom in on you track what you're doing and colin all the pictures across the entire country or the entire globe it all goes into
8:10 am
a big face recognition database so that you know if they see the same person at multiple places they can track them wherever they go and in fact there are reports that they've been talking to companies like facebook and so on so not only can they track you in the real world but they can track your face wherever you post online and that can capture you know thousands of innocent americans millions of innocent americans the notion that all of this is happening totally unaccountable by a private corporation that's building these big databases of where anyone is at any time and being able to zoom in on them is really quite frightening there's no evidence that this is helping keep us more secure the government has repeatedly failed to show examples of where collecting all of this vast war with data has actually prevented terrorist attacks instead what we do have are clear examples where it's been abused used against the constitution the fourth amendment protections we have in the united states and used to go after political enemies as opposed to actual terrorists it's the largest province and pakistan plays host to the crossroads of serious international economic interests there are an energy
8:11 am
resources intelligence agencies and homegrown terrorism in the region so finds itself the focus of growing global importance and concern. you can explain it's. baluchistan. you may have never heard of it or maybe caught a glimpse of it in a hollywood blockbuster but the place is a hawk this nation for intelligence services from around the globe hotbed of the insurgency home to various terrorist organizations kidnappings assassinations terror that's part of everyday life in baluchistan looking at its location as part of pakistan bordering afghanistan and he ran you may think well no surprise they enjoy his place but apart from being a dangerous place the lucious done is a big geo political importance where major world powers have interest and china one of them a lucius town is sitting at the crossroads of oil and gas pipelines coming from
8:12 am
central asia iran's and elsewhere the iran pakistan pipeline that took menace then of ghana's then pakistan india pipeline not to mention that baluchistan itself has its energy resources besides its water port and its right here is the access point of chinese for chinese commercial shipping to the indian ocean and on to africa. but all the violence and instability there doesn't make it an easy place for business investigative journalist very draitser tells me some world powers might be interested in keeping it that way first of all we have various indigenous terrorist organizations that operate inside of below tristan the liberation army. republican army lashkar e tayyiba just to name a few. is an organization that for decades has been focused on destabilization of iran now the confluence of these various terrorist organizations of course is not
8:13 am
coincidental this has a direct relation to the interests of the united states in the western powers these the blocking the chinese the stable. as in pakistan and part of waging their covert war against iran in hopes of not just in circling that country but to collapse it from outside the us government denies having any connection with june dollah and baluch terrorist organizations although cia memos leaked recently say these really mossad recruited june dollar members quote under the nose of u.s. intelligence officers end of quote as far as other terrorist groups like the baluch liberation front there are a few people in u.s. congress who expressed readiness to support the separation of baluchistan from pakistan like dana rohrbacher from the house of representatives comedian foreign affairs any bad anything that's coming up right now that the pakistanis don't like
8:14 am
about our attitude is being caused by the actions taken by their government as far as who could benefit from instability in baluchistan most experts say it's extremists of all kinds mainly al-qaeda and its affiliates and as well as the taliban they certainly have an interest in maintaining instability but some also see baluchistan is a key square on the geopolitical chessboard the united states knows they cannot compete with china economically or industrially so they have to stun china's development through these various subversive tactics they're willing to engage with various terrorist networks that they've had for many many years if not decades in order to try to make the chinese stall in their economic development so according to you hype wars are real and creating instability is one of the instruments to gain advantage but wouldn't it backfire and that terror violence instability could
8:15 am
it backfire in terms of terrorist reciprocation against the united states this is entirely possible but that didn't prevent the united states in the late one nine hundred seventy s. from financing and supporting the mujahideen against the soviets allegations that some global powers may be stir. violence in a place like baluchistan for their geopolitical interests or quite disturbing and raises the question where the pipeline wars are a reality in washington i'm going to check them coming up on our team britain's economic comeback despite the hype and the holiday hopes it looks like the olympics have failed to give a shot in the arm of the u.k.'s finances and lift the country out of recession. and out with the old and in with the new we look into the growing bond between india and china a partnership that has the west rattled. and now a quick update on what else is happening around the world moland has continued in
