joined us on speaks out for the first time since being granted asylum in ecuador and saying the u.s. must stop the witch hunt on whistleblowers. hundreds of supporters turned out to hear his statement hundreds of police officers who were. in their desire to arrest him well coming up in just a moment. and syrians get a reprieve from violence and remember the dad at the end of ramadan our team is it's a village where people are trying to build their own grassroots governance to outweigh 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.

it is ten am in the russian capital you're watching r t i'm marina josh julian assange has called for the us 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 editor asylum a 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 artist laura smith has more. there were several speakers who came on the floor today in a sound sort of whom are packed his longtime supporters including tara cally 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 hurts to moons of police coming up the fire escape inside the door an embassy building here in london 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 revalue kids 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 that could do it for holding the constitution of you know that constitution which includes universal citizenship he thanked the staff 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 it that the united states must run up its witch hunt against wiki leaks.

the united states must assume it's a investigation. the united states must know that it will not seek to prosecute. or else the court of. the united states must wage 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 days with two players that craig murray who is the film of bush's ambassador to as pakistan and a whistleblower himself he blew the whistle on government abuses on same fold and. craig thanks very much for talking to us now it looks i think julian assange case tells us about the treatment of whistleblower lies well i think of the post and the there's a long history of whistleblowers being smeared and charged with crimes under later

today it 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 ruth a member. of the charges they often sexual charges because that destroys the personal reputation of the foreign office that now insists that it didn't mean to say that it would still mean the embassy to go in and arrest julian assange what do you make of of william hague's comments and if the foreign office attitude in general. the phone office's law and if in its attempts to back down because it's found to sell so diplomatically isolated they 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 attempt to date should be on the convention on behalf of the british foreign office i would say to william hague. well william hague really has made a pulled himself and he it's not the first time. he once gave

a media interview in which he said that as a student who used to drink fourteen pints of beer the day i think he must have done twenty eight pints of beer before coming up with a threat to store me i could do in memphis and. laura smith also spoke with paul within 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're all so proud to be british and now this week because of the actions of one full 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 i on and on and on the case where there are still no charges have been light 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 but it's quite right what a song says that this season by wounded american pride this is all about the americans having been discovered doing something wrong that is going in fixing a place wrote broadly in jail for coming up on two years and then they go off to the person who who made the information public. and coming out of the program keeping an eye on their own. mind. countless. point at this point any werman how 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 he looks 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 the newly

appointed many dharma hammy is now tasked with reinvigorating the peace process moscow has voiced its regret that the u.n. mandate couldn't be prolonged and has warned washington against imposing a no fly zone over syria something that helped topple the gadhafi regime in libya syria experienced a law and fighting with manning. spending their sunday praying to mark the end of the holy month of ramadan president bashar al assad was shown on state t.v. praying in a mosque his 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 the regime and rebels artichokes envoy go visit one southern village to see how people there are trying to build better lives for themselves despite the bloodshed. to reach all in syria have become painfully accustomed to neighbors and relatives coming to pay homage to yet another of the fallen there are

few tears at least in public the dead are considered martyrs now and have been a distance of loss is suffocating. her son was an army captain who is taking down by a sniper in damascus and you learn from who we want to see to his killers that is that violence is the worst solution it only leads to more violence this is six victims in the village of dying in southern syria all of dover 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. so they call it a civil council it was established when the uprising in syria started to turn violent but the specific goal of keeping armed groups of by 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 and with the world they have come up with their own six point plan 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 their sad regime but rather to preserve their community should be let alone no matter how we differ we all need to protect our way. and so far this strategy has paid off there are still those who oppose the government but even stronger they oppose death and destruction or human lives is the most of what. we should stop firing and. talk we can discuss anything. and. it should be there like

meeting together and 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. 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 remember what a lot of. in addition to the ever. lucian there are credentials local state pride in having good business acumen not surprising that their cuckoo ations of costs and benefits is not on the side of violence this village is like syria and miniature muslims jews christians our weights some of them support the government others that

pose but most of them agree that there is nothing more precious than peace envoy to r.c. the village of al qaida in syria so how the sour on r.t. a look at hardline islam islam and europe. there's an organization called it might cause of poverty that has been based here for the last three years it's allegedly a salafi story because they show the pictures of radical islam for the website has been blocked and there's no easy way to get in touch with them and decided to come here and find out what we could. our correspondent investigates the roots of radicalism in belgium and attempts to stop it becoming part of parcel of european life. recent reports published by wiki leaks have revealed that the us government is using highly advanced spyware to watch its own citizens the system called trap wire allegedly access access as a surveillance cameras nationwide and sands collect the data to a main database where the images are stored on covers or 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 land they only program what is called rob wire and right now i'm joined by mike either steve to find out more about it steve what you trip wire cools it up or is owned by the approaches corporation work for breakfast . where no. it was developed by three former cia agents. it is a socialist system that takes data everything from facial recognition to suspicious activity records a license plate reader camera records all types of telecom 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 trap wire is that there's going to be a certain kind of. or a target a set so this system looks for people acting in a way consistent with terrorists doing reconnaissance on a target and then 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 it's fire. first of all anything on the public street is legal i can take a camera and folly 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 on 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 any. kind of. a countless i think 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 walk all the why. to the battery charge i would have you on camera constantly your entire. feeling was if you are going anywhere yes the world there or they are encrypted at the point of recording and then transmitted to

a circle stored so what bothers you are certain about it that is what bothers me most about this program is it gives a false it's a security it gives a false sense of security to the public now that it's out in the public eye but it gives a false sense of security to the law enforcement agencies brutal station is two blocks down that way to farm a terrorist i can put a backpack on my shoulder walk into the middle of groups local station during five o'clock friday rush hour right now i'd settle for explosives and there is nothing the trip wire can do to protect me or stop me so then what is the point that. you know well the point of trip wires to make a ton of money for the people that sort of push but to not be to not be flip about it the theory behind trip wire is good the implementation. in my opinion not particularly effect. artsy new york. now don't forget to visit our website

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 in a city official quoted salafi if we take the definition of salafi it means looking at our predecessors and going back to the very first ways of islam what it can be the beard the clothing even smiling can be part of the prophetic tradition and salafi is not a call for war it's not a call for jihad help it's not to ask people to be full of hate on the contrary salafi is a religion that's for extremists you find them in every religion well for us we are moderate and we're in the center but what of those who are not moderate. it gives like these that offer speech which are completely opposite of belgian society they don't know where they are but they choose the wrong place but 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 if 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 at intercepting the radicalization process of young people before it's too late tesser cilia r.t. brussels. now take a look at some other stories from around the world libyan authorities have detained thirty two people in connection with bomb attacks that left two people dead in the country's capital on sunday all those are arrested allegedly belong to a network of loyalist of the country's former leader moammar gadhafi and have been there saving the financial backing from abroad maybe it remains unstable since the radio backed popular uprising resulted in good office ousting and death last year. the country is currently governed by an elected general national congress. a court in china has given the wife of a former high ranking politician a spam a death sentence after she admitted to killing a british businessman the trial of gu kailai lasted just seven hours and was closed
