joined us on speaks out for the first time since being granted asylum in ecuador say the u.s. must stop a witch hunt on the whistleblowers. hundreds of supporters turned out to his statement as did hundreds of police officers who were again floated in their desire to arrest him more coming up in just a moment. the syrians get a reprieve from violence and remember the dead at the end of ramadan r.t. visits a village where people are trying to build their own grass roots governance to outwait conflict and hatred. plus an imminent threat or a demonized minority we investigate the growing presence of radical muslim groups at the heart of europe.

in the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina joshie joined us on just called for the u.s. to stop the persecution of whistleblowers who expose the crimes of the powerful the plea was made in his first speech since ecuador granted the wiki leaks out of her asylum a song she has been sheltering in the nation's london amnesty for more than two months now avoiding extradition to sweden for questioning over alleged sex crimes which he denies are just laura smith has more. what happened to the soft news being nothing left in a rally that was several speakers who came on the food scene in a sound sort of whom are packed his longtime supporters including tara kelley the renowned station list but of course there was a serious message behind all this that the old out to support innocence and he really wanted to speak to the people she thanked them he thanked particularly the supporters who are out here today in the hundreds and he thanked them from have for having been here on wednesday night as well when he says that when he was in bed he

heard swarms of police coming up the fire escape inside the door an embassy building here and guns and but that they backed off at the last minute and presumably that is in response to the perceived threats by the foreign office head that they would not hesitate to break into the embassy try to refer you case diplomatic status and break in that to to arrest him but he said he knew that there would be witnesses thanks to the supporters and so he knew that everything would be ok he also thanked ecuador for holding the constitution of you know the constitution which includes universal citizenship he thanked the stuff at this very cramped embassy which he's been staying for the last two months presumably getting in their way quite a bit and he also one of the most important things he said was he called upon the u.s. to still put he called the persecution of whistleblowers that's just terrible the fact the united states must renounce its witch hunt against wiki leaks.

the united states must assume its investigation. the united states must know that it will not seek to prosecute. or else the court of. the united states must quit before the world that it will not pursue journalists for shining shining a light on the secret crimes of the powerful. i'm very lucky to be joined now by one of those we're still players craig murray who is the full bush's ambassador to as well as pakistan and a whistleblower himself he blew the whistle on government abuses involvement in craig thanks very much for talking to us now that what you think julian assange case tells us about the treatment of whistleblowers well i think of course in play there's a long history of whistleblowers being smeared and charged with crimes under later today was

a blowing because obviously it's quite difficult for states to convict people of telling the truth about state's misdemeanors so what you do is you. with other charges very often sexual charges because were destroyed for personal reputation the foreign office now insists that it didn't mean to say that it would storm the embassy to go in and arrest julian assange what do you make of of william hague's comments and of the foreign office attitude in general while upon the officers law and in its attempts to back down because it's found to solve so diplomatically isolated it most certainly did say about both in person and in writing to the government of ecuador. at the very moment it was saying about fifty policemen moved into the building but not into the actual plant containing the ecuadorian embassy there's no doubt whatsoever that this was a deliberate to ditch the vienna convention on behalf of the british foreign office and what do you say to william hague well william hague really has made a full of himself he. first time he wants gave

a media interview in which he said that as a student who used to drink fourteen points of beer a day i think he must have done twenty eight pints of beer before coming up with a threat to storm could or an embassy. or smith also spoke with paul within a member of the u.k. in the palace party who believes that the actions of the british government have made the country look bad in the eyes of the world. it's such a turnaround from last week where we were all so proud to be british and now this week because of the actions of one poor foreign secretary we have to hang our heads in shame i mean this whole thread made against the best legal advice of violating another country's you know territory in service of a european a restaurant which hasn't even been properly filled out and and on a on a case where there are still no charges have been laid my feeling is that if if nobody in the british government has has the courage to stand up against you know this this european arrest warrant then the best thing we can do. is pass it on to

a nation which clearly has found some courage to stand up against this sort of oppression and it's quite right what a song says that this is all about wounded american pride this is all about the americans having been discovered doing something wrong and instead of going and fixing a base throw bradley in jail for coming up on two years and then they go after the person who made the information public. coming out of the program keeping an eye on their own. account was already at this point at this point any word on when her from approximately fifty ninth street all the way down to the battery you are there is no location that you can go to on the public street i did most buildings where you're not being video you look behind the surveillance cameras in america to find out who is actually watching. the united nations observer mission in syria has officially come to an end all hopes are now on the

newly appointed mediator lakhdar brahimi who is tasked with trying to reinvigorate the peace process and syria experienced a low in fighting with many spending their sunday praying to mark the end of the holy month of ramadan series leader of a sharia law show on state t.v. praying in a mosque the first public appearance since last month's bomb blast killed his top security officials some residents of aleppo the country's commercial hub went out to sweep the streets littered with debris and shrapnel after weeks of street battles between government troops and rebels are on a boy who visited one southern village to see how people there are trying to build better lives for themselves despite the bloodshed. it's a reach all in syria have become painfully accustomed to neighbors and relatives coming to pay homage to yet another of the fallen their few tears at least in public the dead are considered martyrs now and haven't but the sense of loss is

suffocating. as sound was an army captain who was taken down by a sniper in damascus and learn from well i want to say to his killers is that violence is the worst solution it only leads to more violence this is the six victim in the village of dying in southern syria all of them were serving in the army and all were killed far from home the village itself hasn't seen any violent clashes and for the locals it's no coincidence. they call an outcry a civil council it was established when the uprising in syria started to turn violent but the specific goal of keeping armed groups of bay locals figured out the best way to do that is through embracing greater freedoms. our main demand is greater freedom of speech we all have enough courage to express ourselves. they

have come up with their own six point plan that aims to reduce corruption and create more opportunities for the young that dissatisfaction is seen here as the main driver of clashes in the north something that these elders are trying to avoid not so much to preserve the assad regime but rather to preserve their community should be looked at no matter how we differ we all need to protect our home. and so far this strategy has paid off there are still those who oppose the government but even stronger they oppose death and destruction human lives is the most of what. we should stop firing and we can talk we can discuss anything. and. it should be like meeting together and it's the better for us and for our country this grassroot experiment in reconciliation is all the more

striking given that this village has a long history of armed resistance outcry was the birthplace of the syrian revolution against the french two years long it claimed thousands of lives and left more than one hundred thousand homeless maybe that's why the locals are so eager to avoid new revolutions. in that revolution our country again sovereignty and independence from the colonizers and the violence of the past year is aimed at stripping us from it. in addition today revenue. credentials local state pride in having good business acumen not surprising their cuckoo ations of costs and benefits is not on the side of violence this election is like syria and miniature muslims jews christians out awaits some of them support the government others oppose but most of them agree that there is nothing more precious than peace at some point the r.c.

the villages in syria. also ahead this hour here in our team a look at hardline islam as many europe. there's a north pole that michael's up how he that has been based there for the last three years it's allegedly a salafi story because asia that preaches radical islam for the website has been blocked and there's no easy way to get in touch with them so we decided to come here and find out what we could. correspond investigates the roots of radicalism in belgium and attempts to stop it becoming part and parcel of european life. really.

watching our t.v. recent reports published by wiki leaks have revealed that the u.s. government is using highly advanced spyware to watch its own citizens the system called trap wire allegedly assesses accesses all surveillance cameras nationwide and sends the collected data to a main database were the images are stored are just marine aboard now reveals more

about the mysterious software. on any given day some twenty million people are making their way through new york city what most if not all are oblivious to is how closed circuit cameras filming from nearly every corner are being utilized according to wiki leaks documents c.c.t.v. cameras throughout america are monitoring encrypting and storing nearly every move americans are making in public plan to balance program it's called trap wire and right now i'm joined by mike that intercity to find out more about it steve what you strap wire or is that trip wire is owned by the abraxas corporation or actually abraxas software now. it was developed by three former cia agents. it is essentially a system that takes data everything from facial recognition to suspicious activity records

a license plate reader camera records all types of the delegates and all the data and it feeds it into a software system that it tempts to predict if there's going to be a terrorist attack on a location the theory behind trouble is that there's going to be a certain amount of coniston before a target is here so this system looks for people acting in a way consistent with terrorists doing reconnaissance on a target and that if such a person is suspected it takes that person's face which has been filmed and tries to match it to databases of known or suspected terrorists if strathyre. first of all anything you do on the public street is legal i can take a camera and follow you everywhere you walk on the public street i can record every building you go into i can write down your license plate i can take photos of everybody you meet with and in fact as an investigator it's something that i and my

team in fact do i. a regular basis you have no expectation of privacy out on the street walking driving meeting with people talking to people at this point right here giving me anything. that is. not. countless i think at this point at this point anywhere in manhattan from approximately fifty ninth street all the way down to the battery you are could there is no location that you can go to on the public street and in most buildings where you're not being videoed this this part of america that's equivalent to the eye of god i can follow your camera to camera to camera if you started walking south and you walked all the way to the battery top i would have you on camera constantly your entire. here and if you can't i think yes well they are they are encrypted at the point of recording and then transmitted to

a central storage location like either you are serious about it and what bothers me most about this program is it gives a false sense of security it gives a false sense of security to the public now that it's out in the public eye and it gives a false sense of security to the law enforcement agencies parents interest stations two blocks down that way if i'm a terrorist i can put a backpack on my shoulder walk into the middle of grand central station during five o'clock friday rush hour right now and set off an explosive and there is nothing the trap art can do to protect me or stop me so then what is the point that. you know well the point of trap wire is to make a ton of money for the people that started it but but to not be to not be flip about it the theory behind trap wire is good the implementation. in my opinion not particularly a fact marina porton i am artsy new york. and don't forget to visit our website for

muslim community leaders have warned of the dangers of demonizing the mannie through the actions of a small few are just as are still you want to shine more light on the issue but we're hearing to walks a district in leah's belgium the local media here have reported that there's an organization called at michael's apology that has been based here for the last three years it's allegedly a salafi story because asian that preaches radical islam for the website has been blocked and there's no easy way to get in touch with them so we decided to come here and find out what we could. but we couldn't get much a few residents have also made it clear that we weren't welcome local media reports say that this organization was founded by two brothers who studied in saudi arabia and preaches a form of hardline islamic that is quote unquote tough on both muslims and non muslims alike citing an anonymous source woman r.g.p a poem is off i'm scared for my children because when i play music these people come and harass me it's not normal my kids are around them they bother me jussi

they're aggressive to you because they have a camera it's not normal i know they saw me speaking to you so i'm going to get into trouble i know it. it's difficult because all the ses who are radicals of course but all of the terrorists. to make clear distinction between there is another movement conservative one to believe they are very conservative but not violent radical islam has received much media attention as of late in june the leader of another radical group sharia for belgium could previously given us an interview was arrested for posting an internet video urging quote his brothers and sisters to fight against nonbelievers after a woman was detained for wearing a face veil clashes later erupted between muslim youths and police in retaliation for the woman's detention and days later

a french muslim stabbed two policemen in brussels saying he had come to attack policemen and take revenge on the belgian government for banning the burka the german intelligence service said of its most recent annual report that salafism was the fastest growing islamic movement in the world and that it calls for replacing national legal frameworks with sharia law authored by means of a violent struggle against the state but abdelkader a theologian at the main islamic center and mosque in brussels and himself a salafi explains that the actions of a minority add to the confusion in the way muslims are perceived it acidifies what is salafi if we take the definition of salafi it means looking at our predecessors and going back to the very first ways of islam it can be the beard the clothing even smiling can be part of the prophetic tradition so long as he is not a call for war it's not a call for jihad it's not to ask people to be full of hate on the contrary salafi is a religion for extremists you find them in every religion for us we are moderate we're

in the center but what of those who are not moderate. groups like these that offer speech we. completely opposite of belgian society they don't know where they are they choose the wrong place it's not in a country like belgium that you can offer that kind of speech because it doesn't work but in the end there's a small groups they're not the majority within their community authorities and experts agree that the challenge lies in identifying radical groups with a potential for violence and in intercepting the radicalization process of young people before it's too late yes or cilia r.t. brussels. dallas take a look at some other stories from around the world levy and authorities have detained thirty two alleged members of an organized khadafi loyalist network in connection with bomb attacks that shook the country's capital on sunday one blast targeted a former military cademy killing two people the second detonated near the interior
