11:01 am
hello and welcome to our team this tuesday it is seven o'clock here in moscow and karen taraji well a court in bahrain has delayed the verdict in the retrial of twenty human rights activists until next month it's not been confirmed whether prominent activists not bill russell is among them it's his prosecution that's galvanized the shiite rebels in their eighteen month long fight for equal rights from the saudi monarchy that all colors as fresh clashes flared up in one of bahrain's largest cities of all the protesters there were met with tear gas and rubber bullets with reported injuries and arrests nobody were drawled 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 henningsen believes despite calls from u.s. lawmakers to release rush on washington is calling on bahrain to suppress the right . all. the dissent in bahrain i believe that they're getting their marching orders
11:02 am
directly from the pentagon the bahraini royal family which is to quell and suppress and dissent and the reason is because the pentagon simply cannot afford to have a genuine uprising or any form of political instability in a country that is housing its fifth naval fleet is very important because right now after the election or right around the u.s. election there is a war drums against iran they're going to start building 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 sets it but this isn't direct contradiction to hillary clinton who's parading around with the friends of syria and the arab league and talking about them about democracy listen while the u.s. is running out suicide bombers in syria so it doesn't make it there's no there's a lot of hypocrisy is coming out of washington when you look at the situation in
11:03 am
bahrain which is very ugly. the world's biggest global body outside the u.n. is suspending syria's membership they were going to zation of islamic cooperation will also hold an emergency summit to agree to a resolution on the country iran's the only member of the block to have openly spoken out against sidelining to mask us but several member countries like qatar and saudi arabia are pushing to mobilize support for syrian rebels standing regional rivals sunni dominated riyadh and shiite turk ron has taken opposite stances on syria this as the country's opposition steps up calls for a libya style intervention but reports that fighters who toppled caffie are among the rebel ranks middle east blogger call shiloh says the conflict has long ceased being a domestic war. what we have is a center of sorry to regime that effectively has lost its control over the country
11:04 am
but the alternative hasn't been born yet and there is lots of interference and meddling by outside forces trying to shave what this alternative is going to be and things like the libyan fighters the fighters from the last years conflict in libya are moving into syria are one expression of those external factors now taking part in the syrian conflict but ultimately the story remains the same if you want something good for syria it has to be determined by the syrian people themselves not by external agents trying to orchestrate what the outcome is going to be that will be a really catastrophic decision to try to set up the no fly zone bit with affectively will lead to an escalation that quickly would become a kind of military confrontation full scale military confrontation and many critics within the state says that. still ahead for you this hour frown for the cameras amid growing big brother criticism in the u.s. because her mentor said to be secretly spying on the american people connecting

nationwide c.c.t.v. in a bid to detect suspected terrorists. now we look at just two lines benefit from keeping part of asia in stable and filled with terror as we explore the largest province of pakistan. i go to as president says he hopes to decide on whether to gradually in assad's political asylum later this week rafael correa 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 and busy since june and work a week senator is wanted on sex crimes charges in sweden but believes extradition to start or 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 brooklyn weeks website the internet page had
11:06 am
been down or sluggish for over a week the head of the u.k.'s pirate party laws kay believes there's a bigger force behind the hackers. but we can readily see that there is a concerted attempt to industry and we. slide to the moment this is what appears to be the most concerning denial of service attack although we will be some time now are going to be in the records group. claimed responsibility in good outcome quite in you amateur. are we unique. i'm kind of you not only in but certainly. the amount of traffic seen. two amounts to possibly two thousand machines now difficult to espouse the truth in any of the trials it would actually seem unlikely that
11:07 am
a group like antibiotics the new group we able to mount would stain the task but nevertheless it's not impossible but also it is in fact possible to do this with fewer than a thousand machines but that would take some knowledge or some organized station behind it and later we turn to our bill co-founder steve was man closers day week alexander joyner fancher has become a foreigner and 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 while 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 the people it was like we little people the world all of a sudden had this incredible resource and we didn't have to go through other people
11:08 am
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 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 especially 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. and you can see the full interview with apple co-founder steve wozniak and now right
11:09 am
here on our team. americans have been delivered a surveillance flop in the face after it was revealed the u.s. government had been spying on its own citizens software called trap wire claims to be able to detect behavior associated with would be terrorists by using c.c.t.v. cameras censorship and technology campaigner aaron schwartz explains. 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 call it all the pictures across the entire country or the entire globe it all goes into 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
11:10 am
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 for this 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 in pakistan and plays host to the crossroads of serious international economic interests there are an energy resources intelligence agencies and homegrown terrorism and the region still finds
11:11 am
itself the focus of growing global importance and concern parties can i just can explain. baluchistan. you may have never heard of it or maybe caught a glimpse of it in a hollywood blockbuster but the place is a hot destination for intelligence services from around the globe hotbed of 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 iran you may think well no surprise they enjoy his place but apart from being a dangerous place the lucious don is a big geo political importance where major world powers have interest and china one of them a lucius that is sitting at the crossroads of oil and gas pipelines coming from central asia in iran and elsewhere the iran pakistan pipeline that took minutes
11:12 am
then of ghana and 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 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 a business investigative journalist eric 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 giunta law 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 coincidental this has
11:13 am
a direct relation to the interests of the united states in the western powers the blocking the chinese destabilize. 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 jordan doll and believes terrorist organizations although cia memos leaked recently say these really mossad recruited john dollar members quote under the nose of u.s. intelligence officers end of quote as far as other terrorist groups like to be loosely gratian 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 committee on foreign affairs any bad anything that's coming up right now that the pakistanis don't like about our attitude is being caused by actions taken by their government
11:14 am
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 of 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 stunt 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 that terror violence instability could 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 stoking violence in a place like baluchistan for their geopolitical interests are quite disturbing and raises the question why the pipeline wars are a reality in washington i'm going to check out. coming up on our team britain's economic calm down. despite the holiday but only high hopes it will slowly feel a big fail to give a shot in the arm the u.k.'s finances lift the country out of recession. time now for a quick update on what else is happening around the world at least twenty seven people have been killed and over one hundred injured in multiple suicide bombings in southwestern afghanistan officials say as many as fourteen militants were involved in the attacks in the town of sauron a local police chief said not all the bombers managed to detonate their devices
