8:02 am
the door of embassy sunday of course his first statement since he went into the woods or an embassy two months ago there was really a rally kind of a chronicle like atmosphere with a variety of speakers leading up to june yes i was coming out on the balcony behind me and to addressing his supporters and his followers he thanked a lot of people he also told a story about how on wednesday night he heard swarms of police coming up the fire escape inside the ecuadorian embassy here stopping short just outside his bedroom and for some reason backing off but he thanks these supporters who headed the bearing witness to that and making sure that nothing happens he goes say thanks for doing what he called holding the constitution and of universal system ship you say thank the staff at this very cramped embassy he must be getting under their feet
8:03 am
quite a lot but one of the most important things he said was that he called on the u.s. to stop the persecution of whistleblowers united states must renounce its witch hunt against wiki leaks. united states must be doing its f.b.i. investigation. united states must know that it will not seek to prosecute. oil supporters. the united states must play it before the world that it will not because you journalists for shining it shining a light on the secret crimes of the powerful. this situation of course is now developing into a full blown diplomatic britain says that it still seeking an amicable solution to all of this and places officials in aquittal are seeking to resume official talks
8:04 am
but that might not be easy to press in to ecuador or at least to suggest that it might revoke the diplomatic status at the embassy behind me and therefore storm it with police and be able to arrest. the twelve member union of south american nations has backed ecuador in what develops into really a standoff with neither country appearing to what it's about down to dinner stars the spanish lawyer about his own says that he's going to emerge in north sea with the un international court if julian assange is not allowed to leave ecuador. well laura smith also spoke with a pool with and he's a member of the u.k. independence party he believes that the us is a carrying out a vendetta against a songe opportunist foreign ministry has embarrassed the country and in the 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
8:05 am
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 arrest which hasn't even been properly filled out and on a case where there are still no charges have been laid my feeling is 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. bradley in jail for coming up on two years and then they go after the person who made the information public. still to come for you this hour here on r.t.
8:06 am
julian assange may be busy with his own problems but the work of wiki leaks continues at this rate it's getting anything. like. countless. at this point at this point any word with the approximately fifty ninth street all the way down to the battery you are that there is no location that you can go to on the street according to recent reports published by the whistle blowing web site that u.s. government is using a highly advanced spy ware to watch its own citizens with nowhere to hide. the newly confirmed peace envoy for syria says his main task is to stop the civil war ongoing in the country and this as the u.n. observer mission there has come to an end amid escalating violence heavy clashes have been reported in the capital damascus and in the southern city of daraa claiming more lives moscow has voiced its regret that the observers mandate can be
8:07 am
prolonged with only a small years in office to support future peace efforts more evidence is a most syrian rebels are receiving increased deliveries of weapons from libya brought in via lebanon the opposition also claims that british intelligence is aiding the rebel attacks on government forces but amid the violence there are some syrians trying to do what the warring factions of failed and bring peace as r.t. talks on a boycott reports. it's a reach show 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. her son was an army captain who was taken down by a sniper in damascus and learn from what i want to say to his killers is that violence is the worst solution it only leads to more violence this is the six
8:08 am
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. you. know what 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 at 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 drive of clashes in the north something that these our jurors are trying to
8:09 am
avoid not so much to preserve the assad regime but rather to preserve their community sure but 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 are opposed to 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 a meeting together and 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 i cry was the birthplace of the syrian revolution against the french two years long it claimed thousands of lives and left more than a hundred thousand homeless maybe that's why the locals are so eager to avoid new
8:10 am
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. lucian have a credentials local state pride in having good business acumen not surprising that there completions of costs and benefits is not on the side of milans this now and she's like siri. that muslims jews christians our wits some of them support the government others that pose but most of them agree that there is nothing more precious than peace and i'm going to r.c. the village of outcry and in syria it is a ten minutes past the hour moscow time this is our tea and still to come for you in this program love or hate we investigate what a hardline islamic movement is really preaching in belgium and the misconceptions surrounding it. every single second of every single day the

u.s. government is secretly spying on its people this according to e-mails released by wiki leaks the system known as trap wire collects data from all surveillance cameras nationwide and sends it to a main server an undisclosed location it is more important i has been covering more truth about this rather 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 opinion ballots program is called trap wire and right now i'm joined by packet or steve to find out more about it steve what is
8:12 am
trap wire for example trip wire is owned by the abraxas corporation or actually abraxas software no. it was developed by three former cia agents. it is a socialist system that takes data everything from facial recognition to suspicious activity reports a license plate reader camera records all types of telecom 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 kind of look for a target a cell 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
8:13 am
to match it to databases of known or suspected terrorists it's strathyre. first of all anything new 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 have any 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
8:14 am
camera to camera to camera if you started walking south and you walked all the way to the battery charge 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 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 so then what is the point that. you know well the
8:15 am
point of trip 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 effect marina porton i am artsy new york. and of course he is coming to you live from the heart of moscow a definite you can always visit our website. t.v. dot com for more on all the stories we're covering on air including. a young girl with mental health problems is charged with blasphemy for pages of the koran she could now face the death penalty more details on that is. also on line ahead of a. performance like this in a rush. to jail time last week it hasn't put off the copycats this the latest pussy riot support performance causing disruption in one of germany's major
