didn't know songes future is still up in the air but after that we could weeks editor makes his first public appearance in months calling on the us to stop hunting down with so blow words. diplomatic brows break at the union of twelve latin american countries downed by ecuador following britain's perceived threats to doing it and the underbred julian assange book coming up in just. the un's new peace envoy for syria stopping the civil war is now his main task while tens of thousands are fleeing the country's escalating violence with many ending up in jordan. and no peaceful purpose gadhafi libya the new authorities a sweep of thirty two loyalists of the former regime accused of bomb blasts that came a year after rebels to control the country. you're

watching are to live from moscow with me to bang would say first south america's foreign ministers have condemned britain thread to storm ecuador's london embassy to arrest julian a saw and on sunday the weekend excited to finally made an appearance in public calling for the u.s. to stop with his wish hunt against whistleblowers who was granted asylum last week which remains ensconced in the embassy to avoid extradition to sweden for questioning over sex crimes allegations his r.t. is laura smith. 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 both police and media and of course supporters who have set up camp pen and look

like they're going to be headed for the long haul not many but still some keeping witness to what. the ecuadorian embassy sunday of course saw his first statement since he went into the ecuadorian embassy two months ago there was really a rally kind of a con of 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 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 united states must renounce its witch hunt against wiki leaks. united states must do the same it's f.b.i. investigation. united states must know that it will not seek to prosecute. oil supporters. united states must be. more shining 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 british officials in ecuador seeking to resume official told but that might not be easy to press in a pit to ecuador at least to suggest that it might revoke the diplomatic status of the embassy behind me and this storm it with police and be able to arrest. the twelve member union of south american nations has backed. developed into really a standoff with neither country appearing to what it's about doubt due to an astonishing spanish know about. says that he's going to no seat with the u.n. international court if julian assange is not allowed to leave. laura smith also spoke to whistleblowing human rights activists a quake mari he says a smear campaigns against those revealing embarrassing state secrets have become common practice. i think unfortunately there's a long history of whistleblowers being smeared and charged with crimes unrelated to

there was a glowing 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 do with other charges very often sexual charges because that destroys the personal reputation but upon the offices of law in that it needs attempts to back down because it's trying to solve 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 escape so there's no doubt whatsoever that this was a deliberate to ditch 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 the media interview in which he said that as a student he 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 do in an embassy. but every single second of every single day the u.s. government is secretly spying on its people according to e-mails released by wiki leaks the system called trap wire collects data from all surveillance cameras nationwide and sends it to a main server at an undisclosed location. or has been uncovering 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 opinion balance programs it's called top wire and right now i'm joined by mike that peter steve 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 no. it was developed by three former cia agents. it is essential a system that takes data everything from facial recognition to suspicious activity reports a license plate reader camera records all types of the pelican 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 us here 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 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 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. feeling to make you. 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 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 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 porter niamh artsy new york. don't forget to visit our website for more on the stories we're covering on and including anger in pakistan as a young girl with mental health problems is beaten and charged with blasphemy reportedly burning pages of the koran she could now face the death penalty for more details visit our team dot com. and while you're online head over to our you tube channel to see you there you can see the pussy riot copycats that are popping up all over the world this is the latest aerial support causing destruction in one of germany's major cathedrals watching for. thirty two

people have been arrested in libya in connection with recent bomb attacks in the capital 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 political analysts and middle east consultant peter years says it'll get much worse in the country before there's any chance of it getting any better libya is following the same trend as all the other countries where there was a for sure we have the same scenario in iraq we have the same situation in afghanistan 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 although gadhafi was a fraudster in many ways he brought that country from the doldrums into great prosperity and the wrong government got in and so the military is still trying to pull the string you say and of course such failing very fast and i think we will

see a natural rebellion occur like it's ongoing in iraq like is ongoing in syria and egypt. to other news in brief now egypt's president mohamed morsi will give iran summit at the end of the month because a first trip there by an egyptian leaders since relations with to run broke down decades ago invitation was delivered earlier this month by iran's vice president of the first high ranking official to visit egypt in years cairo in toronto have not had full diplomatic relations a since one thousand nine hundred eighty following iran's islamic revolution and egypt's recognition of israel. the us military top general martin dempsey has arrived in afghanistan for a meeting with senior afghan officials over recent wave of so-called friendly fire attacks against international forces in the latest on sunday two afghan police men turn their weapons on u.s. troops on the border with pakistan killing one ten u.s.

believed to have sparked the fire. the newly confirmed peace envoy for syria says his main task is to stop the civil war in the country this as the u.n. observer mission day has come to an end amid escalating violence tens of thousands are fleeing the conflict to neighboring states including jordan let's get more on this from artie's paulo slayer at the border with us good to see you there paula as the conflict in syria wears on the refugee camps in jordan looking more and more like a long term option especially since the jordanian government's describe the situation as a humanitarian crisis. well i'm standing here at the border crossing between jordan and syria it's one of the main border crossings between the two countries but security here is tight and border controls are very very effective and this is a way for a man to deal with the growing influx of syrian refugees into this country now

according to jordanian estimates at least one hundred and fifty thousand syrian refugees are currently in jordan they're being housed in refugee camps along this border the jordanian government has build forts in the process of building another one but the situation in those camps is alarming and has caused humanitarian groups to talk about a humanitarian crisis we know that the camps are overcrowded people there have little to no access to water and electricity at the same time to the close was broken out in the jordanian health ministry is talking about health risks there were clashes last week between some of those refugees trying to break out of those camps because they actually can't leave them without permission between the refugees and the police and a short time ago they were also clashes as the refugees tried to break down the camp fences now the violence behind me in syria is starting to spill over to jordan today there were four shells that landed here one of them badly hurt a young or jordanian golden a number of people were rushed to hospital so that as the syrian violence creeps

closer and closer into neighboring jordan given the situation that it's still pretty tense in syria and of the refugees that are flash flooding into jordan how high are the hopes for peace now considering the u.n. observer mission has expired over night. well as you say the united nations observers mission has expired with no real peace prospects on the table in fact the situation in syria has actually gotten worse with violence there spiraling out of control just today monday there were heavy blasts and violence in the capital city of damascus as well as in the southern city of daraa we know that a number of people in the international community have expressed regret that the observer mission is wrapping up we're hearing from the now newly confirmed new peace envoy that it is his intention to stop the civil war in syria and at the same time he has welcomed the ran into peace talks he says that there needs to be a concerted effort by the international community to deal with the syrian violence

as far as russia goes moscow has said it it regrets the fact that this observer mission is wrapping up and that all that is being left in damascus really is a small office to deal with a very big problem the russian foreign ministry has said that the idea that is being put forward to create security zones unilaterally is an idea that will not work that cannot be any kind of unilateral actions and that what is needed is a collective action by the international community action that is based on the document that was adopted at the geneva conference earlier this year in addition to this moscow has said that it is concerned by reports of more evidence that is coming forward that syrian rebels are receiving the weapons that have been smuggled in from libya in addition to this we also know now that the opposition is using british intelligence that is hoping that with its rebel attacks on government forces so a lot of new evidence coming to the fore and certainly as the situation in syria does not seem likely to hold anytime soon thank you the artes policy reporting from

the jordan syria border for that. now is still on syria amid ongoing violence there there is some who tried to do what they're wearing fashions have failed to do and bring peace. reports. 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. 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 victims 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 mean 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 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 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 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 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 the. revolutionary credentials local state pride in having good business acumen not surprising that their calculations of costs and benefits is not on the side of violence this very much is like syria. muslims jews christians our wits some of them support the government others oppose but most of them agree that there is nothing more precious than peace it's not going to r.c. the village of outcry in syria right there perceived to be radical and violent and the growing presence of islamism the heart of europe is alarming many but the leaders of the salafi community in belgium say the worry misconception stems from the action of only a few tests us the reports. we're hearing to walks a district in belgium the local media here have reported that there's an

organization called it might cause a party that has been based here for the last three years it's allegedly a salafi story because asia preaches radical islam but 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 use a few residents have also made it clear that me word welcome local media reports say that this organization was founded by two brothers who studied in saudi arabia and preaches a form of hardline islam that is quote unquote tough on both muslims and non muslims alike citing an anonymous source. 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 to see their 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 a much media attention as of late in june in the leader of another radical group sharia for belgium said it would 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 that's 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. completely opposite of belgian society they don't know where they are they choose the wrong place it's not in the country want 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 community authorities and experts agree that the challenge lies in identifying radical groups with the potential for violence and intercepting the radicalization process of young people before it's too late just recently r r t brussels. a recent wave of social protests in israel has exposed the pressing housing problem the country's poor facing but the new homes the government's been building on occupied palestinian territories only causing even greater problems that's according to an israeli lawyer who has documented the legality of the west bank settlements and here's a quick preview of that. israel has no serenity in the west bank the continuation of the patients in the west bank in danger of the state of israel is still made of the jewish people and a democratic state where talking about problems economic problems in israel severe

economic problems is real but when the government is talking about the west bank the program programs benefit because if they want to remove people in the open now. which is somewhere to somewhere else because the supreme court of justice of israel ordered that the government has a lot of money to bring them there or to build new houses. you can get the four interview with tally assassin in iran five minutes now right now we're going to cross over to the business as story of haiti good to see you there katie what's in the market these days. wall street right now because they're running in right now to have a as a king on the downside because some move losses across the board although shares of apple has hit an all time high but facebook have some to
