1:33 pm
a devastating effect on to guns country. turkey now involved virtually in a war it's used as a base by the syrian rebels and now to the kurds of march this was perfectly predictable but the dangers here are huge thirty guns reasoning behind his support for the rebels can stem from lessons of the recent past. one. with the syrian opposition because they've made a mistake in. the region which is. now. thriving. but that could come as a dear cost karrar conflict between turks and kurds has been simmering for some thirty years with thousands of victims on both sides in fact the last eighteen

months have seen seven hundred deaths from the confrontation between turkish security forces and the kurdistan workers party or p k k recognized by some western nations as a terrorist organization some believe the thirty million strong kurds are ready to rise at a moment's notice to at least gain some autonomy if not reach their ultimate goal the kurdish state the syrian crisis may very well provide such an opportunity and uncross increasing animosity towards both kurds and damascus it may very well be turkey that will end up being the biggest loser in this call that. game kurdish representatives in the turkish general assembly firmly believe no matter the outcome of the conflict the kurds in syria are set for some sort of autonomy and they're eager to follow suit the syrian kurds so will have their own status political status autonomy for long years we also struggling for
1:35 pm
a democratic autonomy we want our identity to be recognized and we won. democratic autonomy regional autonomy then we should have our south governance right but these desires seem to fall on deaf ears within the turkish government without corrals kurdish conflicts coming under increasing scrutiny from human rights organizations accusations of rape torture kidnappings and use of chemical weapons against suppose it pretty separatists have been backed up by independence through the records and investigations and are a major stumbling block on and crusade for e.u. membership the turkish government nevertheless seems determined to avoid the issue altogether instead of turning its attention across the border into syria if you know gosh go r.t. . and turkish involvement in syria's internal war becomes more apparent to nato missile batteries and hundreds of military personnel from the e.u. and the u.s.
1:36 pm
headed now to the border for what the alliance describes as protection from ankara's volatile neighbor we go a bit more in depth just ahead for you on that one. next the bell first to see the fifth straight night of violence as police fire plastic bullets and water cannons and hundreds of loyalist protesters there the angry mobs hurled firebombs and bricks back at the authorities injuring three about sixty officers be wounded in bouts of violence over the last five weeks since city always decision to only fly the union flag on special days there's been reports of loyalist paramilitary groups orchestrating violence social justice academic peter shergold told us they might want to use that confusion as a base for more violent action. there are several issues i think first of all in that area there are some lawyers probably leaders who are against the peace process this and other issues such as putting except a ha been a catalyst for people who disagree with the peace process from within the unionist
1:37 pm
or british community to come together and to give and give these types of activities mean to with one as there have been problems in this area these power fast will last two years there are people within that organization who are engaged in this violence there is another problem of course in northern ireland on the other side of the houses were we call this the republicans those who wish to create a united ireland and they have been involved in a series of bomb attacks and shootings for the last three years and i've also especially during periods like this will try to use this album as fear of disharmony to try to open up the in terms of their own violence but i think it's a big deal for a small section of the population because they understand their britishness is being under threat they are taking it an argument that the peace process in northern ireland has been about stripping away their cultural identity it's not an opinion that's shared by everybody within the unionist british population but it was certainly shared by those who are. who wish to you know destroy the efforts
1:38 pm
that are being made to change this is they are going to get a much more civil and equal driven society that they are friends essentially people who are for cultural fascism who are not prepared to see any other forms or take on any of their arguments about why the society should move forward. elsewhere around the world in brief tonight in china hundreds of people have rallied in a rare show of support for a liberal newspaper they chanted slogans for political and democratic reform the new said quarters of southern weekly the paper had been forced to change an editorial calling for reform of the communist party the protests comes after dozens of academics in china signed an open letter calling for the resignation of the eventual propaganda minister of the blame for the censorship. the search is on for a hundred missing people now in tasmania as wildfires continue to rage across southeastern australia and warnings to have been raised to the highest level that's a catastrophic level as they put it in parts of the mainland state of new south wales where there are more than one hundred thirty five's burning they're being
1:39 pm
spurred on by the strong winds of most record temperatures most of the country indeed been baking above forty celsius now for several days. stories into us tonight the helicopters crashed in the amazon jungle in east approves killed all seven on board it crashed just minutes after it took off witnesses say the crew tried to drop cargo from a helicopter before it hit the ground not yet know why that aircraft one trouble three bodies have been recovered but the search for the others has been called off till tuesday morning because of the very poor swamp like conditions that. an advance party of nato troops of left for turkey will deploy patric missiles on the syrian border a larger group of european soldiers will then arrive later this month when they'll join the dutch and german counterparts the military alliance says it's deploying the missiles to protect civilians in turkey but serious sees it as an act of provocation journalist money well oxon writer says support for the mission is lacking in many european countries of course it is a high risk in this she explained but this is what we saw already in the past with
1:40 pm
other international missions the governments don't seem to be so concerned about what will bring the future in this area but we see something else we see that population and your. population it's true. such missions everybody knows will cease the situation right there at the border the court is taking place each of you not just since yesterday but since that room and that in each others that. are coming from turkey on syrian soil to do what to kill their people so turkey is right now a security danger for syria not the other way the big names movers and shakers talk to this channel r.t. moscow and now the man who co-founded apple computer them talk cyber security online freedom of why i got off the street protests are still the best way to get your voice heard it's our next program.
1:41 pm
1:44 pm
as co-founder of one of the largest companies in the world do you think that you have a responsibility to speak out about issues like internet regulation i don't think anyone comes with a responsibility just because their company is really big especially since i'm not the one who wanted to run a company just be a great engineer that helped start it so i don't feel that anybody has a responsibility however i do like it when well known people that are in the public eye speak out on social issues and give their opinion what do think about legislation like so and people and why they were so unpopular it turns out that the the internet when it first came it was a breath of fresh air it was so free nobody owned the internet space countries didn't own it they didn't control it it was worldwide it was people to people it was like we little people in the world all of a sudden had this incredible resource and we didn't have to go through other people
1:45 pm
selling it to us and delivering it to us that has changed a lot but still those were items that were kind of against just being able to use the wires to send whatever you thought of to somebody else who's a friend or whatever sharing sharing data so a lot of people have done that sort of thing they have freely shared a song maybe a song with son or maybe they've shared another file with another good friend and they just don't want interference now sure it's illegal to share copyrighted material fine there are laws in place but these were new laws that were going to just totally try to put up roadblocks to services that had other very good purposes in our life for example i might make a promotional video for an interview like this and then i'll email it to you well it's too big to email so i'll upload it to a little site maybe it's dropbox maybe it's my apple ideas maybe it's make upload i'll upload it to a site and send you the u.r.l. and now you can download it and i do that regularly i heard you previously talking about ken dot coms case. and you know you mentioned that the charges against him
1:46 pm
more pretty much phony. yes first of all he ran one of the largest file sharing services in the world so the most movies and all were being exchanged by people through that site it's not a site where you could link connect to it and say search for avatar there was no searching somebody could upload a file and then pass out a u.r.l. on their own and they're violating the law if it's copyright material like a movie and the person who downloads is violating a law too but the what kim dot com rant is just a service that's like a post office he was the post office it was being mailed through winding shut down the post office thinking that's where the problem is it's not so that was a phony charge they tried to charge him with a copyright violation himself or uploading sixty songs or something but they had come off of c.d.'s he had purchased so that it was all these attempts that i call phony then they had to figure out a way to extradite him they needed a crime that would get him five years in prison to meet the law the new zealand law
1:47 pm
for extradition so they made up phony charges of racketeering like he's some big mobster connecting you know a big financial empire and all these countries i mean apple does that but kim dotcom is just a nice soft little sweet guy when you meet him who tells the truth openly you know that you know when somebody is being truthful when you're with them personally and he doesn't hide things he doesn't share he doesn't have concocted lines to tell he's not a. racketeer there's a they charge him with mail fraud because he said i deleted some files and what he had done was delete the links to them it's like if you have a computer and you take a file and you throw in the trash. the file is still on your hard disk it didn't really get a race the link is gone you can't find it any more by that link so that's a phony charge really had got rid of the one part you could get rid of to make it look as though it was deleted the phony charges just indicate that they're going to they're doing everything they can to make the public think they the prosecutors are in the right you know but you don't do phony things when you're in the right you
1:48 pm
have an open and shut case there have and they're having to go be on the balance of what's what's right to try to convict him what kind of precedent do you think this sets for just government overstepping i've read a lot about how they confiscated his data files actually took him to the united states and they didn't have the right to do that it's it's the trouble is we've developed what sort of rights you have to have against accusers meaning the police in the prosecutors they are the accusers presumption of innocence means the burden of proof is on the accuser they have to prove things you have the right to be notified what you're being charged of you have a right to a lot of different rights that make sure you're being treated fairly and prosecutors and governments are found every way they can to get around those rights and that's what bothers me is that you know if they want to convict you of something you didn't do they have an awful lot of techniques to do it lot of ways to do it and you founded the electronic frontier foundation to protect free speech should the principles of the first and then be protected with something like wiki
1:49 pm
leaks free speech is not absolute in my mind it's a very important right it has to go through considerations of did you violate it in ways that might be hurt somebody else some free speech could actually trigger harmful events could trigger even murders so does murdering an abortion doctor count as free speech no there are limits to free speech i don't know in the case of wiki leaks. i don't know where that's going to fall out so i think there are limitations in terms of kind of opening or protecting all free speech online in the war on whistleblowers will. free speech online i was brought up with the belief that the first amendment was such a good thing every every one of our bill of rights in the united states was so crucial to my heart the way my dad taught me but free speech meant you could say something bad about the president even you could say something bad about your government you have that right and we were taught you don't have that right in communist russia so i believe in that right very strongly. as far as as far as wiki
1:50 pm
leaks you know i wish i knew more about the whole case for on the surface it sounds to me like something that's that's good the the people found out what they the people had paid for you know and the government says no no no the people should not know what they paid for growing up in a generation where you've seen the internet proliferate into something that's so massive and where political and social movements are birds online now what do you think just about the evolution of the internet and how you know apple has really played a role. oh you know when we started the company i was go back to that point did we have a vision of computers being prolific in everybody's hands throughout society yes did we have the idea that it would lead to you know the incredible connection that the internet would come onboard the broadband would come on board for almost everyone who wants it and that that would lead to all these you know basically the way we live life in the way we do things put everything political everything social
1:51 pm
the way we do things with other people is all done with your computer on the internet with your i phones with your mobile devices now and it's a totally different world than it was when we had powerful computers but they weren't a part of your life as much as now and i'm just as happy as everyone else to see it having turned out this way how do you see it going do you think that it will still continue or do you think that we'll see kind of. her but i mean what the political and social movements now where everything's integrated everything's being homogenized in the entire world and we're seeing the arab spring the occupy wall street movement really because of social interaction yes i think that a lot of social interaction will be curbed i want to take that back i think i fear it will be that the gatekeepers those who can turn on and off switches allow certain things disallow other things allow who gets to send me data about a new movie rather than everyone have an equal say so of reaching me you know i fear that very strongly that especially net neutrality issues like that internet
1:52 pm
freedom is being interfered with in major ways and it shouldn't i think the internet should have been considered from day one a country of its own that isn't bound by any individual country's laws maybe we could have an internet government but it didn't happen just like world government doesn't happen you know space doesn't belong to anyone the moon doesn't belong to anyone these are really beautiful principles in life and then as soon as a country figures out a way to get control of them it disappears i'm an optimist and i believe we can move more and more towards net neutrality the trouble is a lot of it has to be enforced by the government and. conservative types and libertarian types say government shouldn't have any say in control over that that takes away our freedom wrong it takes away the freedom of the companies that are taking away the freedom from us every freedom we have in the united states every one of them was given to us by congressional regulation it's called the bill of rights that that is what gives us our freedom and yet it was from the government was government regulation no there are times when government regulation says you
1:53 pm
will not impede with the internet neutrality of the users what do you think about this whole hacktivism movement that's come out of you know the one whistleblowers in the occupy wall street and anonymous and you have you know they take downs of government websites and then you see legislation lexis cyber intelligence security protection act that kind of puts a stop to these things you think that that's kind of working as a guys. and using the hacktivism and hacktivists to kind of regulate the internet even more so i really think that there are means for legitimate discourse and trying to bring attention with activist x. is wrong on the other hand i believe very strongly in legitimized marches and that sort of stuff you know with the approval of the authorities there's room in our society to go out and have a microphone and to have a say and be heard by so many others especially in this day of the the internet so there are a lot of avenues it's just trying to you know grab something to get on the news and
1:54 pm
i don't think that's the way to maybe it's a start it puts ideas in people's heads but i really. i don't i don't think that's the right way to solve things and i said before that no one really has the responsibility to speak out about anything but why why do you steve why do you speak out and why do you think so many others don't about these issues you know what the whole world is very conflict oriented we want to take a side and fight for my side my side might be my country it might be my computer platform it might be that which browser i use and i take my side everybody else's back. and i want to fight it and i only want to look at the world one way and i mean the i try to be so wide open and just you know accept everything and judge it that's a logical scientific you know approach don't take a side don't be like for one religion against others that sort of thing thank you so much for your time.
