it is not i am of the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina joshie joined us on has 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 weak links out of her asylum songe 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 diesel or smith has more there were several speakers who came on before joining us on the sort of woman packed his longtime supporters including tara kelley the renowned station list but of course there was a serious message behind all this that they're all out to support you in essence and he really wanted to speak to the people she thanked them he thanked particularly the supporters who were out here in their 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 forest. insight the jury an

embassy building here and downs 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 reveal your kids diplomatic status and break in that 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 that could do it for holding the constitution of you know the constitution which includes a universal citizenship he thanked the stall for 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 an investigation. the

united states must know that it will not seek to prosecute. or else the court of. the united states must pledge before the world that it will look as you journalists are shining shining a light on the secret crimes of the powerful. i'm very lucky to be joined now by one of those whistle players craig murray who is the full membership ambassador to as pakistan and the whistleblower himself he blew the whistle on government abuses involvement in craig thanks very much for talking to us now what do you think julian assange case tells us about the treatment of whistleblowers. i think of the post and labor's a long history of whistleblowers being smeared and charged with crimes under later today was blowing because obviously it's quite difficult for states to convict people of telling the truth about state misdemeanors so what you do is through.

with other charges very often sexual charges because we're 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. colophon officers law and in its attempts to back down because it's trying 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. william hague merely as a major pulled himself he. first time he wants 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 vehicle door an embassy. laura smith also spoke with paul with a member of the u.k. the panel's 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 being discovered doing something wrong and instead of going in fixing a base throw bradley in jail for coming up on two years and then they go off to the person who made the information public. coming up in the program keeping an eye on their own. account what i study at this point at this point in the world with the 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 hundred most buildings where you're not being video card tables behind the surveillance cameras in america to find out who's actually watching. united nations observer mission in syria has officially come to an end the newly appointed mediator lakhdar brahimi is now tasked with reinvigorating the peace process moscow

public the dead are considered martyrs now and have been 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 this fix 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 it 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 me up to me she's put 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 these 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 to their revenue. credentials local state pride in having good business acumen not surprisingly their cuckoo ations of costs and benefits is not on the side of violence this event which is like syria and miniature muslims jews christians al 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 r.c. the villages in syria. still i had a sour here in our team a look at hardline islam as an anti europe there's an organization called a cause a policy that has been based here for the last three years it's allegedly a salafi story because aisha the preachers of radical islam are 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 our correspondent investigates the roots of radical islam in belgium and attempts to stop it becoming part of parcel of european life. wealthy british style. time to. go around the. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report. soon which brightened. some from fans to the french and. starts on t.v. don't come. back you're watching r t you know recent reports published by wiki leaks have revealed have revealed that the u.s. government is using highly advanced spyware to watch its own citizens the system called trap wire allegedly x. x. this is all surveillance cameras nationwide and sounds collected data to a main database where the images are stored. 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 the plan to balance program is called top wire and right now i'm joined by packet or steve to find out more about it steve what you strap wire for is a trip wire is owned by the abraxas corporation or actually a bracks a software know. it was developed by three former cia agents. it is essential a system that takes data everything from facial recognition to suspicious activity

records a license plate reader camera records all types of telekinesis 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 at a location the theory behind trap wire is that there's going to be a certain kind of look for a target a set so this system looks for people acting in a way consistent with terrorists doing reconnaissance on a target and that at 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. 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 now getting anything. that is. not. a 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 tunnel 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 subtle storage location like father you are serious about taking 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 prints 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 effective marina port niamh artsy new york. don't forget to visit our
