and you saw in russia and around the world this is our see with me your leisure paula hello and welcome to the program the u.s. justice department has admitted to spying on associated press reporters a.p. condemned the sweeping phone surveillance as an invasion of privacy and a threat to the freedom of press again that account has more now on the story and its implications. the u.s. justice department secretly obtained two months of telephone records targeting a.p. reporters and editors work and personal phone numbers a few believes more than one hundred of its journalists may have been caught up in this surveillance week the boss called it a massive and unprecedented intrusion into how news organizations operate the justice department acknowledged having spied on a.p. journalists but would not say why it sought the records they cited an ongoing

investigation a peace process and said the government stalked and obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation now the guess is that the investigation had to do with a.p. is reporting on a cia operation in yemen last year and the government's possible hunt for leaks the administration's unprecedented leaks has had an enormous chilling effect on investigative journalism a number of journalists with major news organizations here told me that isn't it's never been as hard for them to do their job as it is now because sources that they had previously communicated with now either don't return their calls or say out front that they'd rather not talk they can go to jail the obama. has brought up more cases against whistleblowers than all previous presidents combined now as the news emerged that the justice department has secretly cast this wife's a veil is that journalists looking for we still don't know what the white house says it knows nothing about this and refers to the justice department and the

justice department having acknowledged the phone taps came up with what some saw as as an orwellian response they said that they value the freedom of the press in that they're seeking to strike the right balance between the public interest in the free flow of information and the public interest in the fair and effective administration of our criminal laws that's according to their statement well it's not clear what mine dozens of a.p. jordon they stored their sources have committed to be caught up in this kind of a surveillance sweep but this is sending a chilling effect far beyond the associated press. to all journalists that their records can be intercepted and sifted through like this and also made some wish us authorities had to use some of that surveillance vigor to keep an eye on someone like tom alonso not have the boston bomber after all those red flags well or could it be that journalists are seen as more dangerous to national security these days the white house and says say it wasn't a delicate regarding the surveillance of a.p. but i'm going to say the case it's into the general trend of current government

policy since nine eleven particularly we've seen the rapid expansion of a police state in this country it is the infrastructure of the police state is already in place so the restricting of the flow of information by the government and its various mouthpieces this is part of this creeping police state and what i what i want to stress is that the effectiveness of the obama administration in persecuting whistleblowers shows not only the fact that obama himself is no different from any candidate that our president that came before him but also the fact that this is a comprehensive plan to shut out dissent in the united states and we also spoke to activists maupin who believes spying on a pay it reveals the u.s. government's hypocrisy when it comes to freedom of the press it flies in the face of everything obama can. protecting the press protecting whistleblowers this is

this is very hypocritical all around the world all the sudden the us talk starts talking about freedom of the press whenever they're trying to bring down destabilize a government in venezuela they don't like hugo chavez because he's defending the people so all the sudden they're talking about freedom of the press in venezuela but yet in bahrain there is a government that's in it is loyal to the u.s. government that it takes orders from wall street and all the sudden they look the other way while those groups suppression. israel's prime minister is in russia for talks with president putin the latest in a string of international meetings focusing on the syrian crisis it comes in the wake of israel's two as strikes near the syrian capital earlier this month and is going off is joining us now live from russia's black sea resort of sochi where the two leaders are meeting igor lovely to see what exactly are we expecting from this may seem. well right now the two biggest problems between russia and israel

concerning syria or moscow's shipments to damascus of the s. three hundred air defense systems under arms deal signed a long time ago and the two recent airstrikes in syria allegedly conducted by israel which is still hasn't officially admitted but hasn't officially rejected either but if the arms shipments don't cross any international agreements then clearly an airstrike by one state over another state sovereign territory does but what benjamin netanyahu is visit is showing now is that the stumbling blocks are currently being set aside in order for a greater cause to be achieved which is peace in syria and of course we know that the ten yahoo is not the first foreign leader to come to russia to talk about syria what came out of the previous ones. these really prime minister is definitely not the first foreign official to come to russia to discuss syria recently it was also the u.s. secretary of state and the british prime minister and be sickly what we're witnessing now perhaps is

a shift in the approach by many nations to the conflict in syria and ways of solving it since most western countries have taken the side of the opposition pretty much since the beginning of the conflict but now they're talking about the need for a joint conference which would include the rebels and syrian authorities what russia has been calling for throughout the entire time also stressing that not all these rebels are opposition areas many of them are bandits or even terrorists and this is constantly proven by linked in the web including the latest shocking video which clearly depicts a syrian rebel fighter cutting the hoard of it are dead soldier out of his chest eating it on camera promising to do the same again and calling all the others to follow his example. from russia as a result the city of sochi where the russian on israeli need is to meet you go many thanks indeed and please keep us up to date

so israelis one of the countries with most to gain from a fast resolution to the syrian conflict it's already being affected by this spillover from the crisis that some believe it only has itself to blame as a middle east correspondent paul it's clear he explains. it's a new offer and stand here so that they have to think one or two like they have to think one hundred times a day you know what to do with guns armed men that have been given the green light to fire into israel retaliated by damascus patel of his attack last week israeli officials have still not gone on record admitting they carried out two is strikes in forty eight hours but most people here are certain they did and damascus is certain of it it didn't mince its words calling israel's actions a declaration of war the criticism echoes in israel as well arab citizens took to the streets to protest and while divided over their support of the side they were

clear on one thing israel's actions are wrong jobber sol is a twenty four year old university student despite being some two hundred fifty kilometers from syria his heart is with its people. israel gives itself permission to attack other countries but does not accept any other country doing the same or whether this strike cannot be legitimate and israel should be judged in the international court. but far from being judged israeli support the actions of the government would be very frank i don't think that if we would have to do. for you we would've. remember even. i think. it's a very small element on a very long. problematic relationship between israel and syria but it might just catch up with the israelis assad says he's borders are open for

palestinians wishing to take military action against the jewish state a sure sign some say that tel aviv has shot itself in the foot. has lost. never had a. tactic no official israeli policy is to prevent. progs for. form syria. i wonder if this is logical policy i doubt it very much and some in israel fear the violence one stop at the border after they finish from killing. very we'll go head to haifa. and to. deliver quality journalism as what was once israel's most peaceful border threatens to become its newest battlefront policy r.t. television. this is all c.n.n. still ahead figure this out on

twitter followers now one of the things that he became known for is conducting in experiments in space connecting to regular people one of the experiments was showing people what it's like to cry in space what happens to tears with no gravity i mean they can't fall down so he simulated the conditions in space and produced a dramatic video one other thing he produced a video of what happens when you bring out a wash towel in space and shows what happens to the water and all sorts of interesting things with the surface tension and where does the water go if it doesn't actually fall to the ground chris hadfield is also in the process or has just completed recording the first commercial album in spaces so these are some of the things that they've accomplished on this particular mission but as of now the crew. zero seven am back on earth safely and everyone that can know that a job was well done in mission accomplished. and as always of the a lot more for you on line here including the number of hunger strikers being force

to step in to dispense riots as using take out. police have identified them on basis by open fire on a mother's day parade in new orleans a nineteen year old i can scald who has a criminal record which includes the possession of firearms drugs and resisting arrest nineteen people were wounded during the mass shooting at sunday's parade children as young as ten among them. an abortion doctor in philadelphia has been found guilty of murdering three babies after they will be born and his living coming got snowed performed illegal operations for late term patients killing some in funds that were still alive with cesar's prosecutors said the clinic dubbed the house of its own chief to fetus is being stored in jars helps earn up to two million dollars again a decision on whether he will face a death sentence will be made later this. hundred textile factories near the

americans few of whom have heard much about the collapse most of whom care more about prices than safe labor conditions right well like the cigarette companies you know they put the pictures of people's cancer ridden longs on the packages to try to advertise to them what happens when they smoke cigarettes i think prime arc should have photos of people factory workers crushed at the factory dead their limbs akimbo with their arms and legs and skulls crushed so big that's the price for the cheap clothes at prime market it's not just crime arc it's every single clothing and shoe manufacturer in the world pretty much uses these sort of factories in these sort of conditions and it's either they say it's the consumer or the say it's just the consumer that doesn't want to pay the extra five six seven cents that it would require to build safety measures into these factories but it's also the investor the investor wants its highest profit margin it's possible to extract as much equity so it all goes back to the banks of the central banks and

their central in their policies that people like paul krugman supports of paul krugman by supporting the bank of england in the federal reserve bank's ultra low interest rates is supporting wal-mart's ability to squeeze the economy to the point where a factory workers have to die so that big fat obese american travel guides get a deal on a t. shirt. the u.k. government is moving to a system which will eventually see most benefits claimed by the internet which is bad news for the many people for many people in rule areas who aren't online so i have visited one community in northern england which has been forced to flog itself . the rolling hills and dales of a delicate english countryside eat but what lancashire in the north of england has in secluded d.c. it lacks in malls and in a city despite major provided b t v reporting

a feast in profit local communities like these haven't felt the benefit and have had to dig deep into their own pockets and land to try to get connected we have on camera a beach executive. power which is one of the highlights poised over in the distance survey english area and say just look at this for city of fulfill a sure it is just no economically viable for them to come out the way he lays to connect up the three or. four as they say are concerned the. homes in the countryside will have to carry on with the old couple was through the telephone because you know economically viable or no i cannot believe all. but we were told only cheese coffee and cake at the project could prove bands to the rural north old bones the shoot might be in the early stages still but it could be set to

make this quiet like cool setting a cool able internet hotspots they have a fading into the ground the fiber optic cable that provides that you cannot hit all of it has taken years and pascoe planning and as you can see behind me a lot of hard work from the ball and to vote but the best part about it is that once it's all up and running this area is going to how much faster internet connection than the u.k. average it's unlikely bt will be daunted by this local competition yet but the project is attracting high level attention. to government at least he's actually now seriously looking. can this be an example as i said for the rare years and hopefully now they've actually seen a bill or not the from being on the ground regime to allow smaller groups like this to access the major forms that we're rolling out across the country back in the

fields and it's all hands on deck as volunteers look to get the community here connected and actually just going to go around and talk to one of the other people volunteering that you've been involved in this quite heavily as well just what else does it mean because obviously it's providing the internet connection but it's also a way of bringing the community together isn't it really says yes i want to me now if you could see here are the people who've never met future of the before find themselves working in some cold field project. that there are. a lancashire in the north of england. time now to get down and take coming up on three legs that while the world's most dangerous professions hotham zero is out of the rain.

the illusion of safety trumping you're right seems to be the main political theme of post nine eleven america a notice pushing the keep you safe at any cost more than new york billionaire mayor michael bloomberg who recently had to defend his stop and frisk strategy after giving a speech to police brass stop and frisk is the practice of just being able to search anyone in new york at any time for any reason with your hands this kostopoulos practice has been in place since two thousand and two but thankfully was finally recently found to be unconstitutional by a federal judge you know the fourth amendment all the talk about no unlawful search and seizure seems pretty clear to me why did this take so long to figure out bloomberg despite that silly constitution thing stands firm with this policy to occur and if you end street stops looking for guns they will be more guns on the

street and more people will be killed it's just that simple well to that i would say if you stop nazi style first kings of random innocent people there will be more freedom on the streets it's just that simple but that's just my opinion. it's the. time of massive change. and he wants. to do it. in ones coal is the bread industry and during the soviet union the miner was held up as a shining example of what

a work tireless ready to sacrifice himself for his country and the hardest workers of all where here in siberia is. taking the coal that would make everything from steel to record. more than seven hundred billion tons of coal on the minds of hundred thousand people i want to meet these men and find out just what it takes to work in russia's coal basin. is how to keep themselves safe from. the six six seven m. life support system is designed to protect the lungs from gases in the event of an explosion even if you have smoke around you but you know.

what. i have my briefing at this time to head. up to ten o'clock in the morning to join the day shift at the pits. would be six in the longest. in the country where they take out almost two hundred thousand tons of coal every month. the machine was like something out of a science fiction movie.
