i'm source way. fragile people on our team. wealthy british style sun. spot on the. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds a report. this is the weekly hit on our t.v. clo both political and financial elite met up in the swiss resort of devils this week to discuss ways of driving europe out of the crisis but as a tease kitty pilgrim reports that one many promises made at the world economic
3:31 pm
forum but no clear solutions off that. double's twenty thirty is now the world's most influential policymakers pack up their design a suit and head home at least me hair admiring the beauty of the swiss alps as you can see but also trying to look beyond them to walk out what exactly was achieved well first we had russian prime minister dmitri medvedev he spoke about the need to diversify the economy away from oil and crack on with structural reforms but you know we've heard that before that was something. we also had british leader david cameron he came here he had some tough words to say for tax avoiders but really the only topic people wanted to press him on here was the father he will be calling an e.u. referendum for the british public in twenty seven table the business community here they felt that that was a grammar announcement and that it would do the economy no good already challenge
3:32 pm
and in a fragile situation with dismal growth figures just released europe was of course in the spotlight as predicted we had european central bank president mario did r.k. he said that spending cuts are necessary of certainty is the way forward and german chancellor angela merkel she agreed with him she reiterated that and this really comes the same way that we've had a process ongoing in greece we've had a backlash in germany as well as spain's unemployment for the youth coming out at sixty percent we also have the prayers from the arab world they came together valiant to improve the future for the people in the region but no clear strategy on on how to do that so you know i can tell you there's been a lot of talking a lot of pledging a lot of promise saying but no clear cut poll that says by have a real fairing but the interesting conversations happened behind closed doors.
3:33 pm
r.t. doubles. the annual world economic forum was certainly shaken up by a speech this week by the british prime minister david cameron and his already hundred former reports the long anticipated address on the u.k.'s future relations with the e.u. was ruffled a few feathers at home as well. british prime minister david cameron has threatened to redraw the map of europe his pledge to hold a referendum on whether the u.k. should remain in the e.u. if they can so says win the next election in twenty fifteen basically he wants more powers returned from brussels to westminster and will try to renegotiate britain's terms of membership but he has warned that he is not successful then the u.k. would probably vote to head towards the exit i was his long awaited european speech and dines at the place many of the euro skeptics within his tory party there are many dieties u.k. business leaders for example say that even talking about an exit at this stage will create uncertainty and could scare away attention investors germany's chancellor
3:34 pm
angela merkel has said that perhaps a compromise is needed but other e.u. members are less sympathetic denmark says that the e.u. is not a self-service buffet where members can cherry pick the legislation that happens speaking to said the e.u. would simply become a mess so while david cameron appears to solve any internal squabbles within his own party to take the lead a tasing the euro skeptics it also appears that he is driving a wedge between britain and other e.u. member states andrew farmer a london. european parliament member and deputy leader of the u.k. independence party paul nuttall says the prime minister has once again been trying to delay solving the long standing issue. the point is that renegotiation is going to be nigh on impossible we've had a home of under-employed the president of the european council you've had georgia manuel but also you've heard. the president of the european parliament you've had
3:35 pm
the prime minister you the list can go on of all of these people who are saying that britain cannot pay for this is a lieutenant by cameron to kick this issue with the long grass we're talking about a referendum five years down the line and it's all dependent on whether he wins the next general election or not and we know that if you look at the polls today it's showing quite clearly that campbell struggled to win the election so i do think that this is an attempt to kick it into the long grass and quite frankly this man has lied before and referendums he gave as a cast iron guarantee that we were that we would have to back at friends and on our membership of lisbon he went back on that referendum pledge so i don't think you can be trusted on this issue on r.t. dot com right now in search of a better life one jobless french officer to sell for sale at a mock replica of the amazon website head online to see if the plan is paid dividends. plus the city floods of wreaked havoc on australia's coast or
3:36 pm
forties to declare a disaster just weeks after the killer he weighed in to the website to find out more on that. barack obama has been sworn into office this week officially beginning his second term as the us president jaring his inauguration speech on capitol hill he once again pledged to promote world peace by supporting democracy but many still wonder if he'll be any better at keeping his promises the second time around. he's escalated the wars in afghanistan he's escalated the drone attacks around the world so i'm certainly skeptical possibly now that he's in his second term he will stop and think about things but from what i've seen there's been no real activity towards drawing down our military you know as an american i have trouble keeping track of where our troops are these days where we're intervening and so for me to try and predict where it's happening
3:37 pm
not to mention that there are secret operations going on around the world. do we have our troops in over one hundred countries and we intervene in the election processes in other places so there's not really any real. activity to do things other than militarily i'm actually worried that other countries you know they see how we do things and they may. go you know go towards the opposite of freedom the opposite of democracy an attempt by a civil liberties group in the u.s. to shed light on what techniques the f.b.i. is using to track american citizens and literally drawn a blank cell for the government agency complied with the request but sent out hundreds of almost phony blacktown documents editor of twenty four seven news j.d. to still says that these secrecy surrounding government surveillance gives authorities the ultimate power. the fact is there's enormous power the government
3:38 pm
now has to surveil the population unfortunately when they black out the memos that we don't know what the policies are if the supreme court has revised the rules for surveillance we have to trust them we have to take their word for it that they met their body by the supreme court's decisions so we don't know what policies the f.b.i. has allocated itself wouldn't we don't know how they're flying under their surveillance techniques if open and free society the f.b.i. has to tell us what its procedures and techniques are so we have we can argue about them and then we have the opportunity to challenge them meant that maybe the courts say sure they're ok but that's only after the challenge in court and that are discussed openly if all we have to go on is the f.b.i. saying trust us that doesn't give us very much here we actually don't use them we'll be back with the news team with wolf in about twenty minutes from now i mean tom entrepreneur kim dotcom is back with a new website which bypasses the noise that soars pretty cessna shut down by the us government well here's what he exclusively told r.t. about his new startup and being chased by the state.
3:39 pm
well. out of sight but still on our minds radiation from the still exceeds the norm let's try to live smarter with smartphones you never know what some people are hiding things can't be sure to prove down to the molecular level learned that what the doctor ordered is often based on secrets under our skin let us shine the light on a kid in a world. in which we've got the future of coverage. victims multiply here each day. it's very profitable to invest in colombia. it is a very high return on investment. which is good knowing that he has said that i've
3:40 pm
been working in this area for thirty years and i've always had to pay the armed groups when they needed betis i knew that my managers have changed their name and strategy but just feel the same murderous. high ranking suspects give no comment pretty upset about that mr president goes. to president putin. but that. i won't give an interview i'm sorry but no. investigation is a dead. end and he says he's sick and can stop your bullshit and keep quiet or else you'll suffer the consequences. even if they're your bodyguards to watch themselves because the same goes for them. recruits from. i've never heard of such a case as ours for so much money and gold has still so many. for all the
3:41 pm
gold in colombia. so you blamed president obama and the obama administration for colluding with movie companies in order to orchestrate this giant arrest here in new zealand is this kind of give and take relationship between washington and hollywood although you say it is or are you just the exception does this really exist well i mean you have to look at the players behind this case ok the driving force of course is chris dodd the chairman of
3:42 pm
a and he was a senator for a long time and he is according to joe biden joe biden's best friend and the state attorney that is in charge of this case has been joe biden's personal counsel while he was a senator in mcbride and also worked as an anti-piracy you know manager for the b.s.a. business office or c. asian which is basically like the m.p.a. but for software companies so and also the timing is very interesting you know. the election time. fundraisers in hollywood set for february march april and you know they had to be some kind of plan b. turnitin for sopa and you know hollywood is a very important contributor to bomb us campaign not just with money but
3:43 pm
also was the media support you know they control a lot of media celebrity endorsements and all that so you know i'm sure the election plays an important role the relationships of the people that are in charge of this case play a important role and of course we have facts that we want to present at our extradition hearing that will short some more detail about this and that this is not just some conspiracy theory you. but this actually happened but the u.s. justice department wants to extradite you a german citizen living in new zealand operating a business in hong kong they want to extra you back to the u.s. now is that even possible well see that is a very interesting question because the extradition law the extradition treaty in new zealand doesn't really allow extradition for copyright so what they did they threw some extra charges on top and one of them is rocketeer ring where they
3:44 pm
basically say we are a mafia organisation and we set up our internet business to basically be an auger nies crime network that was set up and structured the way it was just to do criminal copyright infringement and anyone who has ever used make up words any idea about how that website worked knows immediately that it's total nonsense but they needed to chop that on in order to have even a chance for extradition but in our opinion you see all of that i think was secondary the primary goal was to take down mega upload and this draw it completely that was their mission and that's why the whole thing in hong kong for example they called it operation takedown speaking of internet freedom is the e.c. that the new program is fully encrypted and you're touting it as it's encrypted
3:45 pm
program so that people want to use it do you think this is even necessary that right now people need encryption on the internet how is it even possible that nothing seems safe nowadays from prying eyes i think it's important for the internet that there's more encryption because what i have learned since i got dragged into this case is a lot about privacy abuses about the government spying on. people you know the u.s. government invests a lot of money in spy clouds massive data centers with you know hundreds of thousands of hard drives storing data and what they are storing as basically any communication that traverses through us networks and that means they're not spying on individuals based on a warrant any more they just spy on everybody permanently all the time and what that means for you and anybody is if you are ever
3:46 pm
a target of any kind of investigation or someone has a political agenda against you they can use all that data go through it with the with the comb and find the things even though you think you have nothing to hide and done nothing wrong they will find something that they can nail you with and that's why it's wrong to have these kinds of privacy the abuses and i decided to create a solution that over time is going to encrypt more and more of the internet so we start with files would then move to e-mail with them to move to voice over ip communication and our a.p.i. is available to any third party developer to also create their own two worlds and my goal is within the next five year five years i want to encrypt half of the internet you know just. reestablish a balance between a person an individual and the state because right now we're living very close to
3:47 pm
this vision of george all and i think it's not the right way you know it's a wrong path that the government's on thinking that they can spy on everybody something a lot of people have been wondering about is the case of an inch of video now they were a client so that uploaded material on to make upload that was then targeted by the justice department long before major upload it was ever taken down justice department is looking at. the ninja video and you actually cooperated with them and people want to know how is this the guy who is incredibly against washington you know hates hates everything that they've done to him how is the same guy also helping out the justice department before which came down people think is a real one well let me explain to you how this worked ok i was a good corporate citizen my company was abiding to the laws if we get
3:48 pm
a search warrant or we get in requests by the government to assist in an investigation we will comply and we have always complied and that is the right thing to do because of someone uploads child pornography if someone uploads terrorist stuff or anything that you know is a serious crime of course we are there to help you know this is our obligation and i am not for copyright infringement people need to understand that i'm against copyright infringement ok but i'm also against copyright extremism and i'm against a business model the one from hollywood that encourages piracy mega upload is not responsible for the piracy problem you see it's the hollywood studios that release a movie in the us and then six months later in other parts of the world and
3:49 pm
everyone knows that movie is out there the fans of a particular actress want to have it right now but they are not giving them any opportunity to get access to that content even though they are willing to pay and they are looking for alternatives on the internet and then they find them see they are trying to make me responsible for their lack of ability to adopt to a new reality which is the internet you know where. everything happens now it doesn't happen three months later imagine you go to wikipedia you want to find something research an article in tehran come back in three months you will give it to you then ok if you find another site where you can get that right now that's where you go right so it's really their business model that is responsible for this issue and if they don't adopt they will be left behind on the side of the road of history like many others that haven't adopted in the past you've seen and what
3:50 pm
about your skeptics who point out this big playboy lifestyle and this giant elaborate house and they say that he's not worried about internet freedom as he is just more concerned with protecting his profits well let me be clear i'm a businessman ok i started mega upload as a business to make money and i wanted to list the company i'm an entertainer all right i'm not. my hero he was selfless he is completely the opposite of me but i'm a businessman i'm driven by the success of achieving something in the business world ok that's not a crime there's nothing wrong with that i'm not successful because people have used mega upload for copyright infringement and what everyone understand there has been mess if amounts of legitimate uses but on mega upload you know you don't believe that fifty million you with us today are all just transferring piracy that's wrong
3:51 pm
it's a dual use technology just like the internet you can go to any right now anyone who connects customers to the internet and if they are on this to you and you ask them the question how much of your traffic this peer to peer piracy anyone who will tell you less than fifty percent is lying to your face this is a problem of the internet and not meg upload a year ago exactly right here. in the gulf. it came in in the arrested year they shut down your website and they put you behind bars and they they froze your assets you know it's been a year. but the one thing that also happened that day was members of the hacking group anonymous they retaliated so to speak they in response they went in they took down the websites for the f.b.i. . for the motion picture association of america for the department of justice for the recording industry association of america all of these organizations were were
3:52 pm
all shut down by anonymous in response to what they did to you these are people you never met did you ever think them in how did you actually take that how did you respond to their reaction well it's the. kind of virtual protest you know i think it's not a good idea to shop on websites and i've been a heck of myself i understand why they're doing it and how they're doing it but i think there are better ways to protest where you you know organize yourself in a group and do petitions and actually you know e-mail congressmen e-mail your local politicians let them know about what you don't like organize your movement rather than attacking i mean i had a sense of. understanding for for them because you know everyone has stored so much data on make up a lot and when all of a sudden a site like that disappears and billions of taken offline the majority of them.
3:53 pm
are perfectly legitimate you to understand one thing fifty percent of all files that were ever uploaded to mega upload. even been downloaded it wants. you know that clearly show was the non infringing use people just wanted to store their stuff on our side and of course they were outraged when that disappeared and the government said we don't give that here we don't give a damn about you people we don't care that you have your personal documents there because we have our agenda and we're going to take over the internet and you know the white house was supporting sorba and only when the masses came together and aaron schwartz i mean he stopped sopa with his efforts he stopped
3:54 pm
soap and he became a target a political target ok and that's why all these things happened to him there's no reasonable. cause behind it going after a young genius like that in the fashion they did it's political because the white house wanted so but they promised it to hollywood and they failed and they couldn't go ahead because the white house was afraid if they keep pushing hard and they keep pushing it forward that the people who oppose it i'm not going to vote for obama in the reelection campaign you see so it's all a game to them really and we are all the little puppets that they think they can kick around so we need to organize they need needs to be a movement that identifies these things and fights that not was shutting down websites but with real protest and especially most importantly don't
3:55 pm
