is a pleasure to have you with us here on our today. live in moscow and south america's foreign ministers have condemned britain's threat to storm ecuador's london embassy to arrest julian assange on sunday the wiki leaks editor finally made an appearance in public calling for the u.s. to stop its witch hunt against whistleblowers but he was granted asylum last week but remains ensconced in the embassy to avoid extradition to sweden for questioning over sex crime allegations with us reporters are. the atmosphere here outside the ecuadorian embassy on monday is much calmer than it was on sunday although there are still few hardcore hangers on police and media and to cool supporters who have set up camp here and look like they're going to be headed for the long haul not
10:02 am
many but still some keeping witness to what goes on here at the ecuadorian embassy sunday of course his first statement since he went into the ecuadorian embassy two months ago there was really a rally kind of a con of a like atmosphere with a variety of speakers leading up to coming out on to the balcony behind me and 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 that he thanked these supporters who were here that bearing witness to that and making sure that nothing happened the old say thanks for doing what he called holding the constitution and of of universal system ship you say thank the staff at this very crime embassy he must be getting under their
10:03 am
feet 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 the united states must renounce its witch hunt against wiki leaks. united states must be doing its investigation. the united states must know that it will not seek to prosecute. oil supporters. united states must wage. that it will look as you journalists are shining shining a light on the secret crimes of the powerful. this situation of course is now developed into a full diplomatic britain says that it still seeking an amicable solution to all of this and british officials in aquittal are seeking to resume official
10:04 am
told but that might not be easy to rescind pates to ecuador at least to suggest that it might be revoked the diplomatic status at the embassy behind me and this storm it's with police be able to arrest. the twelve member union of south american nations has backed out which will develop into really a standoff with neither country appearing to what it's about down to to nest on his spanish knew about his own says that he's going to know it's in no seat with the un international court if julian assange is not allowed to leave. well or smith also spoke to whistle blow on human rights activist craig he says a smear campaigns against those revealing embarrassing state secrets some afraid have become common practice. i think unfortunately there's a long history of whistleblowers being smeared and charged with crimes under later today was a glowing because obviously it's quite difficult for states to convict people of
10:05 am
telling the truth about state's misdemeanors so what you do is you. have the charges very often sexual charges because where destroys the personal reputation colophon the offices of law and you can it's attempts to back down because it's trying to sell so diplomatically isolated it most certainly did say that 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 but moved into the fire escapes there's no doubt whatsoever that this was a deliberate attempt to teach the vienna convention on behalf of the british foreign office and the courses backfired spectacularly because the whole world is at the age by this what william hague really is made of pulled themselves it's not the first time he wants gave a media interview in which he said that as a student he used to drink fourteen pints of beer a day i think he must have done twenty eight pints of beer before coming up with
10:06 am
a threat to storm dorian embassy all right i was told to come for you this hour julian assange may be busy with his own problems that but the work of wiki leaks continues. right now given the only thing that is. why. i count was oh this point at this point any werman how the 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. well according to recent reports published by the whistleblowing a website the us government is using highly advanced spy ware to watch its own citizens live in a multi-modal with nowhere to hide. this is our team now the newly confirmed a peace envoy for. says his main task is to stop the civil war in the country says the u.n. observer mission there is come to an end amid ongoing and escalating violence heavy
10:07 am
clashes have been reported in the capital damascus and in the southern city of daraa of course claiming more lives voiced its regret that the observer's mandate couldn't be prolonged with only a small liaison office left behind to support future peace efforts and more evidence now emerging that syrian rebels are receiving increased deliveries of weapons from libya brought in. by the opposition also claims 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 have failed to do ultimately bring peace as are his works on a boycott of reports. to reach all in syria have become painfully accustomed to mayberry's invalides coming to pay homage to yet another of the fallen their few tears at least in 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 taking down
10:08 am
by a sniper in damascus and learned what i want to see to his killers is that violence is the worst solution it only leads to more violence this is the sixth victim in the village 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 and with the world they have come up with their own six point plan that aims to reduce
10:09 am
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 we look 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
10:10 am
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 revenue to their. listen to credentials local state pride in having good business acumen not surprising that their kook relations of costs and benefits is not on the side of milan this analogy is like syria in miniature muslims jews christians our way some of them support the government others that pose but most of them agree that there is nothing more precious than peace it's not going to arthur c. the village of outcry and in syria. we are coming to life in the heart of moscow
10:11 am
are still ahead for you in this program of love or hate we investigate what a hardline islamic movement is really preaching in belgium and the possible misconceptions surrounding. or it is just after ten minutes past the hour moscow time every single second of every single day the u.s. government is secretly spying on its people now this is according to e-mails just released by wiki leaks the system called track wire collects data from all surveillance cameras nationwide and sends all of it to a main server an undisclosed location. as you know covering more 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
10:12 am
americans are making in public opinion their lives program is called top wire and right now i'm joined by mike that peter seem to find out more about it steve what you strap wire for 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 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 on a location the theory behind trouble 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
10:13 am
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 if 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 on. 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
10:14 am
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 charger i would have you on camera constantly your entire. here to make it hard to get anything 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 and 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 prince interest stations two blocks down that way if i'm a terrorist i can put
10:15 am
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 effect during a poor naive artsy new york. now don't forget you can always or visit our web site for much more of the stories we're covering on including this one for example anger and pakistan a young girl with a mental health problems is beaten and charged with blasphemy reportedly burning pages of the koran and she could now face the death penalty and more details on that dotty dot com. and while online head over to our you tube channel where you
10:16 am
can see the pussy riot of copycats that are popping up all over the world this is the latest show of support causing destruction in one of germany's major procedurals i watch it in full on you tube. now a thirty two people have been arrested in libya in connection with the recent bomb attacks in the capital and all those detained said to belong to a network of loyalists of the country's former leader moammar gadhafi and have reportedly been receiving financial backing from abroad let's discuss this further now i'm joined by political analyst and middle east consultant peter live on the program good to see you today as i'm sure you were listening to the story we're covering now the weekend's attacks come one year after tripoli fell into rebel hands and how stable is the situation now the deputy interior minister says libya is awash with weapons. well libya is following the same trend as all the other countries where there was a for sure jeanne we have the same scenario in iraq as you know almost on
10:17 am
a daily basis in some cases we have the same situation in afghanistan with or without the troops being there we've got the situation in libya which was again a force regime and as you would expect there will be breakaway groups because at the end of the day though he was approached or in many ways he brought that change from the goldrush into the great prosperity and i think the true picture of libya is what we've been able in the future that lifestyle that they were accustomed to and well being it will be deteriorated because at the end of the day so west that want the oil the west that want their banks in place to control the country and so there are many that have drawn similar comparisons to that of the days of saddam hussein in iraq that he kept a certain amount of peace and prosperity keeping the sunni's in the shia from basically tearing each other to pieces now we're seeing widespread tribal factions in libya who are essentially continuing some what might say antiquated methods of
10:18 am
rivalry now the nato led war in libya left all these heavily armed groups operating there you talk about the future of the country what is the near future of the country do you think. in the short term it will be a implant along as he told me but we will see an increase in violence and bombing what i found quite amazing because you know i used to work in intel myself in nature a long time ago and i've become very observant especially of photographs and. there was a picture of the bombed out car my first comment was that if it was a bomb that blew that car up it was a very small bomb and it's sitting on the tarmac and there is no stain or burn marks on the tarmac so obviously that car was planted for the photograph so i have some great concerns as to the authenticity of the zionist controlled media when you bring in much of the zionist controlled media that might well have a fair amount of input or control with the defense industries and those who lead the nato campaign into libya if i remember quite clearly former french president
10:19 am
sarkozy saying that he will lead the campaign put is all companies want to get a good seventy percent of the natural resources that do you think that at the end of the day despite the fact that gadhafi was drawn into the streets and murdered in quite a bloody manner is libya better off perhaps now i mean possibly. i don't think so because there was this great emphasis on humanitarian concerns for the country and so-called democracy but they were only relying on the input from the small rebel breakaway groups that were totally on discipline we saw this also in egypt if you can recall and then that went terribly wrong because the wrong government got in and so the military is still trying to pull the strings there and of course that's failing very fast and i think we will see a natural rebellion. like is ongoing in iraq like is ongoing in syria and egypt of these people these tribal people you called remember that gadhafi himself was tribal and the other very very following on the tribal side so this is
10:20 am
just to reassure everything that's happening everywhere else it's western lead and the only reason they went into libya was because he was going to nationalize the oil companies and they couldn't get it fingers on to the banks and so they had to do regime change people would have more time for this political analyst and middle east consultant a great pleasure to have you on our to today thanks very much thank you good afternoon. this is r.t. now they are perceived to be radical and violent and the growing presence of islamists in the heart of europe is alarming many but the leaders of the salafi community in belgium say the worry misconceptions stems from the actions of only a few authorities tested our city reports over here into walks a district in the years belgium now local media here have reported that there's an organization called michael's apology that has been based there for the last three years to legibly a falafel for organization the printers radical islam and the web site has been blocked and there's no easy way to get in touch with them so we decided to come
10:21 am
here and find out what we could. but we couldn't get much of 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 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 oldest feasts who are radicals of course but all of the terrorists. to make clear these things. there is another movement conservative one. very
10:22 am
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 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
10:23 am
a theologian at the main islamic center and mosque in brussels and himself a salafi just 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 salafi 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 is 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 those are small groups they're not the majority within their
10:24 am
community authorities and experts agree that the challenge lies in identifying radical groups with the potential for violence and in intercepting the radicalization process of young people before it's too late just recently r.t. brussels. by the time of the hour to go and see katie people being good to see you again katie you've got the business news i understand times are changing women are set to rule the world is no surprise that we have women always rule the world i believe really now it's set in stone and it's all about the money boy and that's why they're going to get more powerful because according to a new report women in college will jump more than china and india's economy is can buy so over to another lady who means business. close of business in the moscow business center but just a couple of decades ago you wouldn't have seen so many women these ladies have probably just trading on this talk markets but invest
