news life from moscow this is our sea with me. hello and welcome to the program and for us to start with breaking news this hour three police officers have been killed and several injured in an explosion in a city of a russian a southern republic of dagestan it's believed a suicide bomber blew himself up at a row checkpoint while being searched by security officials currently the police presence has been stepped up in the region and the search for the perpetrators has begun of vehicles going to and out of the city of homs have you worked are being tracked police say the funks they stopped this expected vehicle is likely to have prevented an even greater tragedy and of course we'll bring you more details on this story as we get them. i was sure what your plans are for the day apparently there's

a new software that could tell you that the program can predict your future stamps and even behave it just by analyzing your social network data and it's already in the hands of the u.s. government or she's going to check on how small. those of you who are using social networks will find this interesting the world's fifth largest defense contractor raytheon a multinational firm based in massachusetts came up with a software that can map out your life and be able to predict your moves your behavior based on the information that you provide on websites like facebook twitter or foursquare the guardian has obtained a video where a raytheon staffer explains and shows how it works the program is called someone already branded it for spice just a few clicks and it creates diagrams charts maps showing who you've communicated with most online your associations and relationships places where you check in most you know over twenty five million people use this app called foursquare to alert
11:03 pm
friends of their whereabouts so the program uses that and also the photos that people take on smartphones often have led to today and longitude details automatically embedded in them so this riot program at a quick or two can analyze all that data and as the gentleman in the video claims it can roughly predict where to find you at a given time and potentially your behavior based on your interests so this firm that developed the software a major defense contractor has acknowledged that the technology was shared with the u.s. government as part of a joint research and development effort to help build a national security system capable of analyzing quote unquote trillions of entities from cyber space that reminds me of the conversation that i had with william binney a mathematician a spy software expert who had worked for the national security agency for decades and who told us that the government is spying on people on a much larger scale and they're building social networks is part of it take
11:04 pm
a listen they were building social networks. who who is communicating and with whom inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody there are u.s. citizen was being compiled. over time so they're taking from one company alone roughly three hundred twenty million records a day that's over time that that's probably cumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years mr binney blew the whistle on this n.s.a. program saying it is a blatant violation of the constitution but with this riot software one can argue that they can see information that individuals have already chosen to make public they put it out there and most people know that privacy safeguards that for example facebook provides don't hold water really and yet people choose to share so if you don't want someone to be able to map out your entire life and to be able to potentially predict your behavior stop checking in everywhere and turn off location services on your phone or maybe you don't want that in that case no worries.

a censorship scandal has around today zero that's out of the country's government was forced to keep quiet about the death of a prisoner linked to israel secret service a report on the australian press has revealed that a melbourne man hanged himself in prison after months of being held in secret three years ago the story had been originally hushed up in the israeli media gant by a court order columnist and senior correspondent for israel's haaretz newspaper on the orange anti situation is a source of embarrassment for the country. on one level it's an espionage story and mystery regarding the foreign intelligence service mossad and the tragic. circumstances under which one of its operatives apparently found his death on another level. government versus press story and the press here has been struggling against various government agencies and gradually has
11:06 pm
been able to leave at least some of the secrecy surrounding this story there was a gag order here apparently and defer this was the case and one cannot confirm it independently from israel but again embarrassing as it is one has to rely on foreign sources if that is true and a gag order was signed by a judge then one would have been subject to prosecution if one were to violate it so apparently even though the israeli press is far from being lazy for the last two years it has waited passively for someone abroad in this case australia to break the story. and on the way for you this hour pirates of the caribbean all the gamblers robin who'd illegal vassie the tiny twin island state reaches for millions of dollars worth of american copyright material.

this is a welcome back the latest predictions from economists in the u.k. such as britain will just escape a triple dip recession but any suggestion it's light a bend of a very long tunnel is secondly no being felled by ordinary brits and as a point of boyko found out many families are likely to enjoy at least fifteen days of squeezed incomes until living standards are recovered to pre-crisis levels. imagine living on the brink financially i need to be told that it's going to get was that's the reality facing some ten million brits living on middle incomes economists at the think tank the resolution foundation have issued a landmark report with a stock warning to the government they've got to tackle low wages or face economic stagnation for generations to come the report claims that for too many households their money no longer stretches to the bare essentials because of falling wages and rising inflation and buying a house is becoming
11:15 pm
a fantasy for too many britons already millions of citizens in the u.k. struggle to pay their monthly bills have no savings in the bank and can no longer afford a family holiday so what we're seeing at the moment is the squeeze on living standards which is affecting households throughout the entire income distribution and that's mainly a result of the recession and austerity policies but actually for a very sizable group around about ten million adults who live in low to middle income households and that's actually started sometime before failing to do anything in this area and ended up with time in households have no increase in that in their living standards in their readings first of all social problems because it's a very large group to be in that situation but also it's an economic problem because because this group of consumers so they are one of the drivers of economic growth their report found that on top of the recession there are systemic problems with the way that the british economy is run making life even harder for britain's low
11:16 pm
to middle if things stay the same the average household by twenty twenty will have less money to spend than it did five years ago person is now squeezed that almost seven out of ten brits say that they have to cut back on spending just in order to get by with the governor of the bank of england saying that economic recovery could be in sight it looks like that for those at the bottom of the british. let me that's no guarantee that life is going to get any easier. see london. the un says mali risks being dragged into further violence and reprisal killings fresh allegations of atrocities in the embattled west african country have emerged following the rapid advance of french intervention forces they have been helping the unelected government of mali reclaim cities captured by islamic militants and journalist gonzalo reports now from the war zone forty. to buy him money yes.
11:17 pm
i mean united nations already describes the situation in mali is a disaster the u.n. human rights commission says the country's caught in a spiral of violence fraught with grievous consequences the situation has been made worse in the wake of ferocious fighting in and around the city of northern mali following four days of fierce resistance from insurgents complete with suicide attacks the french military has been forced to conclude that some of the locals made an extremist that however some of the key areas in this conflict are still off limits to international journalists the french army denying us passage saying it was for our own security the u.n. high commissioner for human rights not the palais made it plain in a recent statement that the situation in mali is only deteriorated following the foreign military intervention you know that that the insurgency in mali's aggravated by ethnic clashes. camera crew witnessed instances of exit brutality
11:18 pm
perpetrated by the mali an army and survive. the military are not the only ones in gage's and hunting down people of arable quarry origin are believed to be part of the insurgency and eventually the locals are going after them as well and for some time it has been difficult to find people from either of those ethnic groups anywhere in mali and this brings us back to the fact that more than three hundred thirty thousand people have been forced to flee from their homes because of the crisis the last straw for all those refugees and indeed for all of mali has been a statement by al qaida coming out of the arabian peninsula which calls upon every muslim to join the holy war against france a war that is being fought in mali against the will of its people. mali. but i think and now some other stories from around the world here this hour five people have been confirmed dead after a plane crash landed and cry you. he is east industrial hub of jeanette's the

but you don't know you can be because the only is there more than you want to go it is a. human. to give us as only a legal defense against the tiny carbon nation of antigua and barbuda thanks to a ruling by the world trade organization that twin island state is now moving to waive twenty one million dollars worth of copyright protection on american goods pay yet some say the case has created a dangerous precedent for privacy for piracy as i say trick. heavenly spot in the caribbean welcome to antigua and barbuda a tiny country with a population of under ninety thousand people. gambling is a popular pastime here for locals and tourists alike i want to as a last vegas of the caribbean because i mean there are
11:23 pm
a lot of caribbean countries that have to see you know as well i should say were sometimes a stepping stone ahead of a lot of the casinos but in even more powerful money maker here the mere decade ago was the online gaming business we once had a thriving. internet gaming industry and to get that employed over four thousand people that industry is gone no juta actions of the united states legally licensed internet gambling companies provided jobs for five percent of the locals and rocketed in over three billion dollars annually but with americans as the key players u.s. officials weren't happy and bad offshore gaming even though the industry is completely legal in an america the rest of the world catches the coal. from thousands of jobs and tremendous cash inflow to an industry crumbled and those who make it up treated as criminals there. the prosecution of persons who had companies operating companies and entity go and these persons some of whom were indicted and
11:24 pm
arrested and who had their property and for seniors the potential targets people like this online gambling operator fearful of what the u.s. can do to him because of his business legally licensed in antigua he wants to remain anonymous i hope the board wants to do and sleep or board so. that all will unfold but what about control synced on the forums or. are literally hundreds of bodies stolen from the village really. the island nation has had enough and has put a fight at the world trade organization for its legal rights money and regaining a collapsed industry it's been going on for a decade and we think it's time to bring the plane into the land the w t o took the side of the tiny country in a decision that ruffled the feathers of the us in the world trade organization and he has the right to basically grab the assets of the united states including in
11:25 pm
particular copyrights trademarks patents so they can sell microsoft word for a dollar each the w t o decision allows and t. get to completely ignore us copyright laws until the money loss due to the online gaming collapse is made up for but limited to twenty one million dollars a year the u.s. concern now is that the w t o has potentially laid out a welcome mat for the forthcoming pirates of the caribbean but the tiny island nation felt a million giants we have helped to play first actually wiping out the second largest source of a good team in economy i'm sure the dispute between american mentee go frightens many more calls because of what may come next they won't talk about it on camera but for tourists the slap in the face of the u.s. . is all the gossip that kind of money it is and it's not going to hurt the u.s. economy that much as it will it just in the going to be no. but there's also
11:26 pm
will take some action against it though as well while until going to have won a battle at the w t o there is still a long fight ahead the first time that a small country took on a large country in the world trade organization. and it was there it's kind of a you know bad thing that the united states is just ignoring it now the ball is now in the court of this little island while the copyright left is now an official option to cash in on and to go hopes it might be able to negotiate a deal with the u.s. that is good for all before all ships have sailed and r.t. reporting from mt again barbuda in the caribbean. and up next biggie the gun control debate in america is in the crosshairs. why. all.
