the league. washington defends its repeat surveillance of millions of internet users over seventy yes they're saying it only spied on foreign country. american china ready for an informal meeting in california amid a finger pointing over cyber attacks and flaring tension over washington's ministry build up in china's backyard. and president putin is set to become single also he and his wife announce their marriage is in what they called an advocate will split off. together.

it's just gone midday here in the russian capital you're watching ardi live always made to say it's good to have your company with us. u.s. intelligence confirms it's collecting the private messages of internet users but to defend these claiming the mess of aliens was targeting only nine u.s. presence outside the country 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 and a court order has become the first song to evidence of washington's sweeping data collection program is an associate has more after i 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 of arisan further information of the extent of surveillance conducted by u.s. officials has leaked out nine major internet companies they include google facebook

yahoo microsoft skype you tube apple a.o.l. and pal talk have been used by the f.b.i. in the national security agency to monitor photos videos e-mails audio and all other sorts of information tracking a sweeping scope of individuals online activity as reported by the guardian and the washington post a highly classified program dubbed prison 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 a 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. eugene protea an activist full of the civil rights organization oncet coalition says escape all of us of aliens might not only have domestic but also global implications they can make a barely very very massive database and millions of citizens of almost all of their activities what they're doing and there's quite a bit you can construct from knowing every single place you go every day who you talk to and how you talk to them i can tell you quite a bit about and this is being collected on millions and millions of citizens completely indiscriminately which means there's

a giant database of american citizens activities on a daily basis that the government has or it's controlled and it's keeping under secret lock and key and we have no idea how they can use it to give use in many of our whole lives there's a wide range of people around the world who could be affected by this i mean imagine something as simple as they are college and roommate was from russia you stay in contact and you continually talk to each other that could be something that the government could decide. create some sort of pattern about you given what happened in the boston bombing and then they can use that as a pretext to search your entire house and so i think certainly that not only national international will see some concerns. turkey's prime minister seems on shaken by the protests against his rule that have swept the country. bedouin brand at the demonstrations unlawful and i.q. some of turning into vandalism calling for an immediate end to the under arrest and was cheered by thousands of supporters upon returning home from a trip abroad they sing gathered at the airport chanting that they are ready to die

for i do on my own all the thousands of anti-government demonstrators packed cities across the country again calling for the right for his resignation and began as a peaceful sit in against the quantum militiamen and stumbles and thoughts and square has turned into the worst under arrest in decades consistently fueled accusations of the police is the heavy handed dispersal of protesters at these as three people were killed and thousands injured in this week's clashes some already voicing fears 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 start negotiating with the demonstrators maybe it will be some piecing 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 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. meanwhile though one of the main things the protesters accuse the government of is of forcing conservative islamic values on turkey that has been staunchly circular for nearly a century the out of two cultural center in taksim square also said to be demolished as part of the redevelopment plans has become a symbol of the current struggle arches a regular school 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 in fact 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 cam used to house belly and opera and was essentially a source of pride for the church 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 in aspiring 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 as this demolition is 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 reality basically you can say that at this point a key am is sort of assistance held for the protesters be 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 this symbol r.t. . we're closely following the situation in turkey as we have been for them but from the very beginning the timeline of the under us and live of days of a little twenty four seven on the website dot com.

today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing cooperation throughout the day. smiles and a warm hand shakes like spectate in california late in the day where the u.s. and chinese leaders meet for their first summit of behind the diplomacy as a range of prickly subjects between the cim with washington i q's in beijing of launching a cyber war against it and as r.t. is more in of what i reports the u.s. is countermeasures 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 but 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 we can agree perhaps not to attack the children's interests or at least not 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 clear eyed about the challenges in china. united states has expressed our 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 aimed at china later this month the country will be holding unprecedented military drills with special i.t. 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 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 amount of 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 and charted territory that could inevitably turn the internet into

a dangerous platform where friends become foes reporting from new york marina are today. coming up here on r.g.p. think twice before becoming a modern day robin hood in the u.k. there's a chance you might end up in jail for a decade showing movies and songs full suite plus. balancing the scales of justice as we look at an israeli law that some claim give settlers the upper hand over palestinians in the west bank will have whole chocolate. i would rather ask questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking

on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. sigrid laboratory curbeam was able to build a new its most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything to change mission to teach creation why it should care about humans in. this is why you should care only on the. welcome back you're watching our team president vladimir putin has announced that

his marriage is over and in months of speculation about his private life the announcement came in a joint interview with his wife on russian state television way they called it an amicable split earlier my colleague bill dot to discuss the high profile divorce with r.t. as you got. 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 just to come out and announce this on 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 that just came out and while. this personal personal event which is. my job and all my activities mean i'm an absolutely public figure some people enjoy this and some don't but some people simply incompatible with such a lifestyle my wife has done a nine year shift by my side basically the decision was mutual. signals like that are most said it was in fact a mutual decision

a marriage is over because we barely see each other his job keeps him completely busy our children have grown up they live 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 the 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 hopefully. there's more on that story on our website here's what else you can find on r.t.e. dot com our russian airport staff still weighs dead body and the landing gear of a plane it was apparently there for days and made several journey.

and it's a blues of a spanish lawmakers after public outrage or put a stop to discounted as strong drinks in parliament cafeterias politicians all have to be content with the be our wine and coffee and they say they don't want to show it frivolous. i want to make a living showing movies and music be prepared to pay a hefty price in the u.k. owners of moneymaking torrent sites are facing up to ten years behind bars for cutting copyright holders out of profits artists are for it has the details. well there is one single favorite t.v. . listening to music or maybe sharing 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. link 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 and the first sign of clampdown by the. 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 less a sense of them by the. 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 end this threatening as possible for people to start the site but on the whole i don't think it's going to stop well 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 and 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 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 lean on the u.k. law is technically not illegal however if you create a website with thousands of such things and you would sizing 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 these are actually nothing more than that because nothing has changed in the mall since these words is a premier issue so anybody running a torah website which 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 eye very closely all what happens with the investigations i will be bringing you the latest when we. do have international news now the number of hunger strikers at guantanamo detention camp who are being force fed has risen to forty one and nearly a quarter of all the inmates according to the military the total number of protesters is now at a 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 u.n. and many times described as you made by the international medical community. hundreds of left wing activists that stage a protest in paris are following the death of a teenager allegedly beaten to death by members of a group meant to marry

a nineteen year old student belong to the anti fascist actual movement french interior ministry announced that four suspects have already been arrested. south korea has accepted an invitation from north korea to open talks on restarting joint projects because asians are expected to include to be close the case song industrial zone we put action came to a halt in april the closure left tens of thousands of people without work as called all star from the area seen as one of the last symbols of the corporation 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 increased 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 it 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 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 night time when like when they stole my sheep i took their rights i went out i mean for self-protection but the palestinians have a different version. 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 jacobs case gets who'd in an israeli civil court hundred 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 sets 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 ask questions later policy r t in the way spend. thank you being up we head over to our washington studios full breaking that with every mountain stay with us.

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 plan to do so like 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 know 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. with. science technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. you live on one hundred thirty three possible so food i should try it because you know how fabulous i had lunch i got so many i mean family and sometimes i know that i'm still really miss. the old story so actually. it's. the worst year for delivering the white house to the. radio guy and for a minute from the public what you. are about to give you never seen anything like

this until. everyone i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so this is getting a brand spanking new state of the art military facility in israel but oh wait we're not supposed to know that in fact tempers are running high within the israeli military after plans for what otherwise would have been a top secret facility were disclosed by the u.s. defense department wait a minute what the u.s. government leaked information about an israeli military facility actually it's now you'd think because you see the department of defense is actually building the facility for the israelis and publish information about the site that includes a brand new aero three ballistic missile defense system so that private contractors could start their bidding on the twenty five million dollars project israeli

officials however been expressing their concern about information about the top secret project being made public wops i guess is not enough that the u.s. is using money we don't have to build yet another defense base for israel it's fairly not enough that israel receives more aid annually from the u.s. than any other world nation come by and yes today this country has given israel hundred eighteen billion dollars in aid most in the form of military assistance nope. not enough that the us has to borrow money we don't even have from china to fulfill its promise to provide the thirty billion dollars worth of aid to israel throughout twenty eighteen that makes perfect sense doesn't it no no no no all of that insanities parentline not enough israel wants to keep it all secret to . the. world.
