for russia and around the world this is all see with me. and a very warm welcome to the program. russia's federal security service has called a cia agent who allegedly tried to recruit a russian secret service staff are the american agent ryan fogle was reportedly preparing for a major spy operation. and has been delving into the scandal and he is joining us now here in the studio hi there tom so what more do you know about the story. well ryan fogle pictured here was ostensibly a third secretary at the political department of the u.s. embassy in moscow however according to the f.s.b. one of russia's security services he was earlier detained according to them in the

act of trying to recruit a russian special service agent a counterterrorism agent working in the north caucasus to try and work for the cia . on him when he was found was also a large number a large amount of money in cash written instructions for the agent he was he was trying to bring over to the ca site the cia also wigs used to try and disguise his appearance some of the equipment shown here some communications equipment a map of moscow and also a compass since then mr full has been returned to the u.s. embassy the u.s. ambassador has been summoned by russia over the incident and so far the u.s. embassy has offered no comment. yes and this is of course not the first spying incident between moscow and washington so please tell us more about that yes there

rated as strikes against syria and more details now from. who is following the talks in the black sea resort of sochi how about you gordon nice to see you believed as did the leaders say over the neighboring and never ending syrian crisis . well the leaders of both countries seem very united in the idea that any more violence in syria will lead not only to severe consequences in the country itself but in the entire region and see only a peaceful diplomatic solution to this conflict pledging not to rock the boat and to continue working together in the search for peace in the meantime the meeting here in sochi took place shortly after two air strikes in syria allegedly conducted by israel which haven't been officially admitted but it hasn't officially rejected

them either and while all of itself is really unsatisfied and critical of moscow for supplying the f. three hundred air defense systems to damascus under arms deals which were signed a few years back before the conflict in the country started but if the arms shipments are not violating any international agreements and rules the same really can't be said about one state. another state in territory and had there been any recent changes in global diplomacy on syria. well the fact is that these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu came here to sort you for the storks sure that moscow and tel aviv were able to set these stumbling blocks that i just mentioned aside in order to achieve a greater goal peace in syria and well basically throughout the entire conflict there we've been seeing that the western nations were clearly on the side of the

rebels but. lately we've been seeing possibly a change in their approach to the conflict and ways of solving it since now they're talking about putting together a conference which would include both the rebels and the syrian authorities that's what russia has been calling for the entire time since the start of the conflict that while. these rebels in syria are not all opposition areas many of them are banned and even terrorists which is proven often by various footage a link in the web for instance the latest shocking video of a syrian rebel cutting the horde out of. syrian soldiers chest beating it on camera promising to do the same next time and calling on the others to follow his example. with the details from the russian result. thank you very

much. and the only journalist and political analyst for these really nice paper says the best thing is broken do in syria is to stay out of the conflict it's a very game a very dangerous. does she want us. regime to remain does she favor position it's very clear i'm not sure that these are no rules and he any case i think that israel should not interfere it also can hardly interfere the but they seem not interfere at all the only difference that i would expect israel would be to like the other neighbors of syria to suggest some kind of humanitarian aid to the thousands of. victims of this civilian war.

and an end to the devastating conflict in syria is something most people across the border in israel are eagerly awaiting at a point to sneer reports many in tel aviv believe that their government is actually intensifying the syrian civil war. it's a new offer and stand here so that they have to think. of one or two ways we have to think one hundred times a day what to do with. armed men that have been given the green light to fire into israel retaliated by damascus for tel aviv the attack last week israeli officials have still not gone on record admitting they carried out two airstrikes 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 assad 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 to with this strike cannot be legitimate in israel should be judged in international courts. 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. it for you we. remember. i think. it's a very small element of a very long. problematic relations between israel and syria but it might just catch up with the israelis assad says his 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. never had a. hundred tactics no official israeli policy is to prevent. progs. i wonder if this is a logical policy. i doubt it very much and some in israel fear the violence won't stop at the border after they finish from getting. to haifa. and to move to. digital. as what was once israel's most peaceful border threatens to become its newest battlefront. tell of if. a massive called the last ten is through the b.s. second largest city which has seen this a hundred volunteers in recent weeks ahead the works more while there's no sign of

this is on c. welcome bok up to one hundred journalists and editors of the associated press have been targeted and the massive u.s.

government spy operations against the news servers a.p. is calling this surveillance a web spawned by the justice department itself unprecedented in size and scope and a gross violation of privacy he's going to take on has been tracking the investigation. 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 sought 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 piece reporting on a cia operation in yemen last year and the government's possible hunt fleet 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 of 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 and 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 is behind dozens of a.p. jordan they store 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 bigger to keep an eye on someone like tom a lot of 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 revelations of the just as the bombings on the hand toxics against journalists come just days after another scandal rules have been rounded tonks favoritism the american government was court obstructing tox applications submitted by political groups critical of president obama and analysts say both of these cases point to a warring new trend 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 obama administration perhaps more so than any administration before it has been vehemently persecuting whistleblowers of all kinds lest we forget bradley manning where the countless other whistleblowers who have been thrown in prison or otherwise intimidated and i think that this is the real hidden side of this story that the obama administration wants to control the flow of information in order to restrict the truth from getting out and they also spoke to acts of its kind of i believe that these surveillance of a.p. reporters shows they do as governments hypocritical approach to press freedom. it

flies in the face of everything obama campaigned on about protecting protecting the press protecting whistleblowers this is this is very hypocritical all around the world all the sudden the us talk starts talk 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 there is loyal to the u.s. government that it takes orders from wall street and all the sudden they look the other way while suppression. and later this hour. fast reports now on a new project to plug a rural area in england into the world wide web. but we're going to be telling you how one michael community. tackling flowing to that point really taking matters into the. russians. safely delivered a three man crew back to earth from the international space station crazy in

out a wash towel in the 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 so is zero seven am back on earth safely and everyone can know that a job was well done and mission accomplished. meanwhile back inside that southwest fair remote control perfect jazz could soon become a reality a prototype has made its past successful flight well that's now a website. and a deadly news sauce like a virus that is detected in saudi arabia is rapidly spreading across the world yet all the details at all to dot com. says one people have been killed and dozens
