it's eleven am here in the the russian capital you're watching live with me tom with the u.s. intelligence confirms it's collect in the private messages of internet users but a defense to me is claiming the massive variance was talking to only nonny u.s. persons outside the country earlier british and american papers reported that the u.s. was tapping directly into the service of leading american internet companies getting access to personal e-mails photos and documents allege court order has become the first hard evidence of washington sweeping data collection program artes and us to see a shooting that has more. after eye popping news that america's national security agency has been collecting information on millions of customers of one of the country's biggest telecommunications providers verizon further information of the extensive surveillance conducted by u.s. officials has leaked out nine major internet companies they include google facebook

yahoo microsoft you tube apple a.o.l. and pal talk have been used by the f.b.i. and the national security agency to monitor photos videos e-mails audio and all other sorts of information tracking a sweeping scope of individual's online activity as reported by the guardian and the washington post a highly classified program dubbed prism accounts for almost one in seven intelligence reports made by the n.s.a. to the u.s. president and congress this is of course the first time that this prism program has been publicly brought to light u.s. officials in particular members of congress aware of this program have been keeping quiet about the sweeping activity of violating the privacy of american citizens and of course so all of this comes after secret court order was obtained by the guardian and uploaded online this document revealed that u.s. telecom giant of arise and has been giving the n.s.a. information on absolutely all of the phone calls being made within the united

states as well as between the u.s. and foreign countries according to the secret court order which was issued as we know in april and expires july nineteenth phone calls of millions of americans are being traced through horizon absolutely regardless of whether or not there is reason to suspect that subscribers are involved in any criminal activity and it's also been disclosed that this operation has actually been ongoing since two thousand and six and renewed every three months. turkey's prime minister seems un shaken by the protests against his rule that have swept the country in tiny print on a brand of demonstrations unlawful and accuse them of turning into vandalism calling for an immediate end to the unrest it was chaired by thousands of supporters upon returning home from a trip abroad gathered at the airports wanting that they're ready to die for everyone meanwhile tens of thousands of anti-government demonstrators packed and calling for his resignation what began as a peaceful sit in one thing st paul demolition in istanbul's taksim square has

turned into the was under arrest in decades consistently fueled by accusations of the police as heavy handed dispersal of protesters at least three people were killed and thousands injured in the week of clashes some already voicing fia's it might not be long before the military is called in to quell the unrest many generals and even former chief of staff of turkey are in prison now i mean this is a very special situation when they are waiting for the developments because the arab in me will take control over if there will be more serious disturbances their way they may be the prime minister and the president will stay greatest maybe a peace in process i mean they're still waiting for something good to happen but if instead of negotiating with his own people the prime minister will keep conveying

to them he's a tough message even storing them up more then the you will see next week a week after some saying from the army and turkey as you know has a culture of kind of fiction military regime democracy democracy military regime these things happen to them in the past and nobody will be surprised that it will happen again now. one of the main things the protesters accuse the government of this forcing conservative islamic values and turkey that has been staunchly secular for nearly a century in the art of cultural center in a taksim square also said to be demolished as part of the redevelopment plans has become a symbol of the current struggle. reports. it's been a week since the violent dispersal of protests here in taksim square and goes the park and let's take a look at one of the most important fixtures or other structures that have been here for quite some time and it's right behind me the ataturk cultural center now

it's decorated with posters and slogans but that's not how it was a week ago it backed it was slated for demolition so why is it important for people in taksim what kind of significance does it carry for turkish people not just in istanbul but all over the country well let's go inside and take a look and find out the a kim used to house ballet and opera and was essentially a source of pride for the turks people for them it was a representation of the cultural and political heritage left over by kemal ataturk but everyone said ballet is not an arch worthy of the turkish people not something that turkey should be looking and inspiring to and decided to demolish this art house you can see in order to make way for a new op or house a lot of people see this demolition as an attempt by anyone to go backwards instead of going forwards to do away with the with the ideas that were brought here by the church and to bring in early one's own ideas into basically you can say that at this point a.t.m. is sort of a citizen for the protesters the you can say took this fortress by force on

saturday evening or the protesters in istanbul this really was a pivotal moment this was the moment when they felt that they are at least for that particular moment to remove the bottle it's a symbol of resistance it's a symbol of protest it's a symbol really of the turkish people coming together and saying we will not let go of our heritage we will hold on to it even if it is dilapidated and is slated for demolition doesn't matter what the prime minister wants in the symbol. we're closely following the situation in turkey as we have been from the very beginning the timeline of the andress and live updates available twenty four seven on our website r.t. dot com. today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the

streets of canada. during operation throughout the day. smiles and a warm handshake sigh expected in california later in the day with the u.s. and chinese leaders meet for their first summit of behind the diplomacy has a range of prickly subjects between the team with washington accusing beijing of launching a cyber war against it and as you know what there are reports of the u.s. has come to measures go well beyond being purely defensive. after months of muscle flexing comes the handshaking u.s. president barack obama and chinese president xi jinping will likely play nice for the cameras but behind the closed california mansion doors of this first bilateral summit a tense talk over a cyber espionage hacking and rules of virtual engagement think of it as well as

the jumble of biological weapons convention so one can make those sorts of weapons most countries agree not to do so or to use the. same thing is true of cyber everyone's going to be asked nations or knowledgeable we can agree perhaps not to attack the children's interests or at least not to start doing however the u.s. has repeatedly accused the rising asian giant of widespread computer hacking just last week a report by the defense science board said nearly forty pentagon weapons programs and almost thirty other defense technologies were compromised by hackers some directly tied to the chinese military and government u.s. manufacturers have also accused china of stealing patents and designs of high technology we're also hearing about the challenges in china. united states has expressed concern about the growing threat of cyber intrusion some of which appear to be tied to the chinese government and military china's defense ministry has consistently denied claims that its military is engaged in hacking and in turn

pointed the finger at washington the country's top internet security official recently claimed to have mountains of data pointing to extensive u.s. hacking aims at china later this month the country will be holding unprecedented military drills with special units and even nato is debating whether it needs a manual on cyber wars while washington casts china as the world's most dangerous virtual threat the u.s. has been cementing plans to take down the enemy billions have reportedly been spent to create forty teams of cyber agents that will allegedly serve to thwart hackers while simultaneously launching offensive attacks against adversaries a cyber battlefield that many believe the u.s. can't affectively control you have a government with many secure security holes in it and you have a corporate sector that can't keep its information secure i am seeing this as

a war in which the united states is not winning no matter the allowed resources it is putting in or the tough talk and even experts at home say now is the time for the u.s. to be working together with leading nations like china to establish norms for cyber space activity we want a global resilient open and secure unit if the u.s. and china fail to reach consensus on how to cooperate in cyberspace the consequence many believe could lead to a virtual cold war between the world's two largest economies uncharted territory that could inevitably turn the internet into a dangerous platform where friends become foes reporting from new york marina are today. so coming up here on our team think twice before becoming a modern day robin hoods in the u.k. visit songs you might end up in jail for a decade sharing movies and songs

a full suite. plus a balancing the scales of justice we look at and is raving all that some claim the upper hand the palestinians in the west bank will be back shortly with more. the u.s. government versus private first class bradley manning what this is trial all about protecting state military secrets for a show trial scapegoating one individual says this trial send a chilling warning to would be whistleblowers and journalists and what does aiding the enemy me in the age of the internet. good laboratory to mccurry was to build a new age most sophisticated robot which fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything mission to teach music creation why it should care about

human to end. this is why you should care only. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm talking welcome to the big picture. thank you and staying with us here watching our team president of the team and putin has announced that his marriage is over and doing months of speculation about his private life the announcement came in a joint interview with his wife on russian state television where they called it an amicable split early on my colleague bill dog to discuss the high profile divorce

with be skint. generally the idea of a president getting a divorce isn't something so out of the warden especially in the west with the likes of nicolas sarkozy and silvio berlusconi but for a president of a country like russia this is a major event since the majority of the population or at least a large part of russian citizens are still very conservative and we heard from the couples themselves on t.v. it could easily have been a press release from the kremlin couldn't it well exactly right even to put in his personal life has always been out of the spotlight out of the public eye but i think it just shows their decision to come out and announce this on a steam t.v. for everyone to see is just to show that he wants to be open and public in this very personal matter because well the last time we saw the couple together was

a year ago during his inauguration and just to cancel out all the possible speculation they just came out and well. as source and all the personal event which is so rich and my job and all my activities mean i'm an absolutely public figure some people enjoy this and some don't some people simply be incompatible with such a lifestyle that my wife has done a nine year shift by my side basically the decision was mutual. she addition. sinews like that of most said it was in fact a mutual decision our marriage is over because we barely see each other his job keeps him completely busy our children have grown up they need their own lives now we all do i really don't like being in the spotlight all the constant travelling is difficult for me because we simply don't see each other. it was

a long marriage that was a very long marriage thirty years this couple has been together they have two daughters they both said that they a lot of them very much they're still going to be really close people to travel for the rest of their lives but i think it could really. raise a lot of respect even for the president for again a more conservative society to do something like that openly where there's more on the story on our website here's what else you can find on r.t. dot com russian airport stuff is still ways dead body in the landing gear of a plane it was apparently there for days and made several journeys find a way. and it's a boom is a blues for spanish lawmakers after public outrage put a stop to discounted a strong drink in parliament cafeterias the politicians will have to content themselves with beer wine and coffee say they don't want to show

a preference image. one to make a living sharing movies and music be prepared to pay a hefty price in the u.k. owners of moneymaking torrent websites are facing up to ten years behind bars for putting copyright holders out of profits archy's server has the details. well there is one single favorite t.v. . listening to music or maybe airing that music with a file sharing is growing ever more popular and as its popularity so you too does the file sharing site the torrent sites that host links but that's a great unpopularity we've seen in the u.k. authorities alone with record company labels launching an precedented and torrent site campaign the first sign of clampdown by the authorities came in the form of a letter from the national intelligence and then it was that they found guilty of

certain offenses to face ten imprisonment all see if you can see the founder of one of the torrent sites that received and publish the last a sense of them by the tail and now he's asked to remain anonymous but let's take a listen to what he said i think it will i mean maybe also. part of the strategy that they're trying to make it is difficult for people to and the strengthening as possible for people to start these sites but on the whole i don't think it's going to stop. here to talk torrents with us on to and by digital policy blogger. thank you for joining us i think of you first of all let's clear up because you can see here you know people on earth on their computers listening to music watching videos when it comes to torrents and sharing fights what's the legality what's legal what's not well that's one of the problems it's a completely gray area. if you take

a copy of somebody else's picture or music and stick it on your website that's copyright infringement if you provide a link to somebody else's storage of that same content then providing that link on the u.k. law is technically not illegal however if you create a website with thousands of such things and advertising around to make money. from that website under british law under u.k. law there has been a prosecution for fraud it's a ratcheting up of the rhetoric and researching nothing more because nothing is turning in the mall since these watches have been issued so anybody running a tour of websites are prosecuted under similar legislation could expect to receive a sentence which is four years in prison ok well we're certainly going to be keeping our very closely all what happens with the investigations i will be bringing you all the latest when we start. to other international news now the

number of hunger strikers are going tunnel bay detention camps who are being force fed has risen to forty one nearly a quarter of all the inmates according to the military the total number of protesters is now one hundred and three that's despite president obama's pledge last month to shut down the camp and move the detainees that have been cleared for transfer the process of force feeding has been condemned by the un and many times described as anything made by the international medical community. hundreds of left wing activists have stage of protests in paris of following the death of a teenager allegedly beaten to death by members of a far right group the men to marry in one thousand year old student to belong to the anti fascist act action movement the french interior ministry else that four suspects have already been arrested. south korea has accepted an invitation from north korea to open talks on restarting joint projects

and he goes asians are expected to include the close a case on industrial zone where production came to a halt in april the closure left a tens of thousands of people without work as pulled all steps from the area seen as one of the last symbols of cooperation between the north and south the date for the talks has yet to be announced. the united nations human rights agency is reportedly working on a plan to compensate palestinians harmed by israeli settlers in the west bank as follows increase of violence recently with attacks resulting in injuries and damage to property the new un plan could help offset the apparent bias of israeli law concerning settlers and palestinians policy or has more on the story. in the wild west bank gunslinging israelis and palestinians do not stand equal before the law they never did but even less so now a settler and a palestinian living side by side who commit the same crime

a put their entirely different legal systems the settlers have when they fight to have the so-called gloomy law apply in the west bank shai dromi was an israeli farmer who in an act of self-defense shot and killed a trespasser and wounded thirteen others he was eventually acquitted of manslaughter and the law that was later named after him supports the notion that any action taken against an intruder is considered self-defense but until now it wasn't clear if it applied in the settlements it's an issue that's now back on the table the limits of when acetic can and cannot use a gun to protect himself or his property jacob taylor lives in the disputed hebron hills he moved here from south africa two decades ago with seventy four members of his family jacob claims more than six hundred of his pedigree sheep have been stolen by palestinians from his farm the rifle that the army supplied me but they don't even go out and walk with the rifle at night time when like when they stole

my sheep like that i fly without i mean for self-protection but the palestinians have a different version. of are you going to so i was in the mountains feeding my sheep in our land and the settlers attacked me and hit me on my back they did not just attack me they attacked everybody every day they are trying to take our lands but we will not let them. the law says jacob's case gets heard in an israeli civil court hunted in a military one the palestinian could be barred from seeing a lawyer for up to thirty days. the palestinian could be held and interrogated for eight days before being brought to a judge after which the detention could be extended and extended and extended by comparison the settler would immediately be allowed to consult with his lawyer he would have to be brought before a judge in order to continue interrogating him within twenty four hours and he would have all the sense of due process that we don't see in the military court

almost a day doesn't go past without at least one violent act between citizen palestinians being reported many fear a third intifada might be on the cards all the more possible now that cities have been given the green light to shoot and also questions later. in the way spend. coming up in just a few minutes across with. the school board in batavia illinois has decided to punish one teacher for his bad behavior by putting him on a strict probation play or what did he do to be deserve being part of this probation planted he do select punch a student in the face or to go on some sort of horribly racist or sexist ranted

from the class no he just reminded the students that as americans they have the right to not incriminate themselves to put it more simply he told the students that they didn't have to answer a questionable survey about drug and alcohol use and their emotional state since the data from this questionnaire would be sent back to the private company that created it this raises even more privacy issues than just the school knowing about the students personal lives i would like to commend this teacher john dryden for actually going above and beyond and telling the children something they need to dial you know if you're going to live in a society based on individual rights it would help to actually teach children what those rights are but that's just my opinion.

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter logo the u.s. government versus private first class bradley manning what is his trial all about protecting state and military secrets for a show trial scapegoating one individual does this trial send a chilling warning to would be whistleblowers and to journalists and what does aiding the enemy mean in the age of the internet. to cross-talk the bradley manning trial i'm joined by my guests in washington barry he is the washington d.c. director of code pink and we also have david sheldon he is an expert in military

law all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i very much encourage it tell you if i can go to you first as this trial started we knew bradley manning is going to sort of at least twenty years in prison so what's the point of all these other charges twenty years is a long time. well i think the government is trying to scapegoat bradley manning trying to get more time out of this they're looking to get a life sentence i'm sure that they're not going to try and kill bradley manning but i think that the government is trying to send a chill across all levels of society such as are our media those whistleblowers within government that want to blow the whistle on. expense accounts inside of certain organizations in the united states that are you buz ing their rights it's time for this government to use the evidence that they have which is very little the fact of the matter is bradley manning had access to millions of documents and

he only chose to release seven hundred thousand of these documents he was very scrupulous in the way he chose to release these documents not to harm anybody the government is claiming that he put peaceful people in the manger i can't even produce no evidence ok david how would you respond to that ok very little evidence and we know this man is going to get at least twenty years in prison well i think there's a number of different responses one can give him first of all it seemed to contradictory to say that there's very little evidence when. mr manning specialist manning. hundreds of thousands of documents communiques from the united states of the highest level and certainly that warrants severe punishment now whether the case is not death qualified it's not the. death the government simply wants to bring this case to trial i'm not suggesting that there's

over overreaching by the united states in doing so one of the questions that i have is what where are the supervisors of specialist manning why have we not seen those people come to task because this individual did not send. arrived in iraq in a vacuum he was there he was being supervised there was a shop there was a code what happened how did the process break down and why are those people being held accountable will time i think he did talk to his superiors to me i mean that's part of the evidence isn't it willy he did also the fact of the matter was they said it recently came out there was a very lax environment in there people were listening to music playing videotapes they were. using these these documents haphazardly and i think bradley manning came in there and saw what was going on and he was very concerned about what he saw were war crimes that were taking place.
