over a good evening if you just joined us kevin i would hear it r.t. tonight our top story the sheer scale of america's surveillance empire is coming to light with a new lead detailing a global system that logs potentially people's entire online life with some help from a few internet giants to telephones hadn't been spared either with the authorities purportedly collecting and storing the call records of americans on mass and washington is furious calling the leaks reprehensible but the surveillance is necessary they say to his artesian this is. 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 of arisan further information of the extensive 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. and 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 secret court order was obtained by the guardian and uploaded online this document revealed that u.s. telecom giant of arisan 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. well let's talk about it more is that the british she was dropping authority called g c h q is also actively gathering data via the prism surveillance network with washington's blessing is good will the system and its ethical implications of an ill and he's an analyst and senior fellow at the independent institute policy group i haven't even seen you do a sleep more soundly at night as an american citizen knowing that all this data you want dates are as well i guess is being captured and stored. no i don't i think this is a real violation of the us constitution even the democrats are saying well this is

legal it's been checked out by congress. but that's doesn't wash when it violates the direct persian provisions of the us constitution which state that any warrant can't be a general warrant in other words they can't go mining for things which is what they're doing and also there has to be probable cause that there's been a crime committed well every citizen in america can't be. suspected of being a criminal now they're say they're not listening into the conversations of. conversations but the constitution doesn't say anything about that it just says if it's a search and this is a search and it's clearly unconstitutional even though the patriot act which is unconstitutional portions of it. ok's it so i think it's a very bad thing and also this other program that goes that actually does capture emails the content of emails photos that sort of thing on people overseas

also captures americans as well but what the fuss over this now i mean as we heard from our correspondent there has been ongoing for the last seven years since two thousand and six why is this causing a rumpus down. well i don't think they realize that. you know this was going on so widespread there was some suspicion of it and some senators had been raising cryptic comments but of course the problem is the whole thing is classified and we have to rely on these senators and the bureaucracy itself the national security agency to tell us that everything is ok this is under wraps but i'm telling you if they're taking if they're. monitoring the phone traffic of all americans that's a real problem and i and i don't trust the authorities and it's a blatant violation of the u.s. constitution on its face well the authorities say that least one serious to

terrorist plot has been thwarted because of prison surely that's good enough reason to carry it on isn't it no it's not and the constitution makes no us constitution makes no exception for national security things and terrorism specifically and by the way your chances if you're an american citizen of ever being killed by a terrorist are about the same as getting killed by an asteroid and our last thing getting killed by lightning so terrorism is a very rare event the government invests way too much effort in preventing terrorism and therefore i'm sorry even if this is true which i skeptical that this really led to the to the arrest and boiling of a terrorist plot but even if it did it's unconstitutional if they want to do it they have to amend the u.s. constitution to do it in the things he is the absence of a program. coming up browsing online links to your favorite t.v.

shows could become a thing of the past if you're in the u.k. as we report soon that's if the police have their way they are cracking down on our websites and threatening to put the people writing them behind bars for years. and force overdue president putin said being in the top job is behind the split with his wife which the couple insists was amicable. turkey's prime minister is looking unlikely to ease his hardline stance towards the swelling nationwide protest against him at a conference with e.u. officials in istanbul where do i once again accuse the protestors of violence and vandalism saying it would be dealt with more harshly in a european country while the demonstrators have been packing cities still across the country it's been happening for a week now after police crushed a peaceful environmental sit in taxes square that ignited street battles which reportedly left three dead in clashes with tear gas water cannon and electric batteries deployed by top journalist richard paris he spent four years in turkey

has written a new book indeed two on the country called headscarf richard hi thanks for being with us and edward was hoping today was need to convince european union representatives this country deserves to be part of the block or if that was a successful meeting today. well i don't think so turkey had a big problem joining the e.u. for the last five or six years in i think what's happened in turkey in the in the last week is not going to help at all. turkey steadily moving towards e.u. accession and the country's economy showing progress with all that i ma why already once policy is causing such a strife for the people that we're seeing playing out what's wrong oh well first of all you have to understand turkey is a country that's very well divided between secular groups and in islamic group and it's almost a fifty fifty split however the ruling party the party no one has done very well

in the last ten years however he is has become more authoritarian and particularly more divisive. basically being dismissive of these demonstrations which actually represent a pretty good cross-section of the turkish population and so this is unfortunate and it's an attitude that you don't get from president ghoul or the deputy prime minister or any any members of his cabinet this is something that comes strictly from air to wine and that's what is motivating the crowds there very upset about how dismissive fee is in how he views any protest as illegitimate one of the criticisms is that the country is working its way more water was increasing is the most what is the problem the problem anywhere we need that so much the population almost a hundred percent was limited we only had two percent of the population this was

and what is their problem with more of this well it is a turkey is a muslim country but you have about sixty percent of the population that is more religious does abstains from alcoholism and. this is more devout and you have forty to forty five percent of the population that is more secular drinks alcohol and is a little bit more liberal in terms of social attitudes so the country is very well split however secularism in aggressive secularism has been the law since the founding of the turkish republic but this is gone along this split has been met and it. brought some democratization reforms but in the last few years there too one has been extremely authoritative simply announcing projects after they've been completed and that's what happened with tax and square last year

a few months ago it was announced that it was going to be revamped and these are the last trees left in the middle of. and he's done this in the past particularly in the last couple of years with pronouncements that abortion is murder c sections or conspiracy against turkey things like that that resulted in legislation being entered into or carl amend the next day without any advice or consent from the population which i'm afraid we've got to leave it there time's account has got to get through thank you very much richard perle is there a freelance journalist and author of a new book on turkey entitled at scarface i think it makes now for a full briefing of how turkey's troubles have developed from the outset we invite you to head to our web site r.t. dot com we'll find coverage and analysis not dates twenty four seventh's.

reporting next the death of a young left wing activist who was brutally beaten by skinheads and spurred a wave of protest and fear through french society the teenager's murders also pushed thousands of anti fascist protest out onto the streets tesoro said the reports from paris tonight. the police in france are investigating a case where an eighteen year old left a student was killed had died from injuries after being attacked by what police are calling a group of skinheads members of extremist fringe of far right parties and france has been a seeing a violent protests in recent months with the legalization of gay marriage coming to the forefront of the political discussion let's get some more insight from journalists an expert on terrorism and extremism claude thank you very much for joining us today this incident of the leftist student killed by far right extremists police are saying what does this tell you about what's going on in

france basically of course it's a tragedy a kid of eighteen being killed for political reasons it's stupid but it's many and . not. a few which. i think. i feel that all the pretty girl groups organization advocating. that this is a case of a right to stick sumus group or having killed a leftist student and you will have members of both sides weighing in on the issue of explosives. and. they will use disprove. that would explain that. which is of course not the case of the room i fink. thank you very much for that

well with incidents like these of course the questions will be raised on what are the root causes of things that happened like this on the streets at a time when france is facing a recession economically a deeply unpopular president in place this is yet another issue that france will have to seriously deal with reporting from brussels. well these continues live from moscow right after this break. i would rather i asked questions for people in positions of power instead of speak on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on

r.t. question more. secret laboratory kirby was able to build the world's most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tunes mission to teach creation why it should care about humans in the world this is why you should care only on the r g dog. i get in the u.s. and chinese leaders are about to hold a summit which is already being labeled an historic meeting but there's

a chill day on the warm smiles in california today with the two countries clashing over a range of divisive issues including accusations that china's launched a cyber war against the united states i thought his one important. 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 cyber espionage hacking and rules of virtual engagement think of it as well as a jumble of biological weapons convention so one can make weapons but most countries agree not to do so or to use them however the u.s. has repeatedly accused the rising asian giants 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 cyber. united states has expressed concern about the growing threat of cyber intrusion china's defense ministry has consistently denied claims that its military is engaged in hacking and in turn pointed out the finger at washington the country's top internet security official recently claimed to have mountains of data pointing to extensive the 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 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 internet 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. r.t. . well it's pretty glamorous north of full spectrum dominance when you move angle is on the line with us hi there william is. case of people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones i wonder how many here says be very active in the field of cyber attacks at cyber espionage lately can't really criticize other people for doing that going to well i don't think so and i know people in the us military who are active in cyber warfare so the us is probably the number one cyber warfare force on the planet right now and china is probably playing a defensive game but i don't i don't think the so i think that's a red herring issue right now that's the design by a washington by the obama administration to put pressure on china at a time when the u.s. is doing just that with the so-called asia pivot which is really a china pivot that obama announced in australia back in two thousand and eleven to redirect the american military force posture toward japan with missile defense

which is directly against china toward to supporting japan on the the diode you island dispute in the south china sea which is very critical for china's access to potential mineral that's mineral resources and also its military is already so i think the cyber warfare is really a. red herring as i say in this whole dialogue with us there's a lot of tension brewing in the port in that neck of the woods isn't there i mean china wearing as well reported last week playing to strengthen its military with the so-called digitised troops armed with intensity capabilities it begs the question of beijing preparing for a storm. well i think they are prepared in fact i know they are from my recent talks in beijing with leading people there they read the writing on the wall they read that the u.s. is pressuring them through their support of the the arab spring uprisings in libya in tunisia and egypt and now putting all their might into trying to topple the

regime in syria and directed toward iran which are the links to the secure oil supply lines for china's economy and so there are very well aware and i think what's significant about this sea visit. balmer is the sequence of it he became president in early spring this year and his first visit as a head of state was to russia's pooter the second visit was to south africa for the brics summit and several african countries tanzania and congo then he comes to the caribbean mexico and costa rica among them before he meets with the president united states ten fifteen years ago that would never have happened quite down the pecking list as you say there is one of my girlfriends very much for your thoughts thanks being on the program.

but as place a gunning for the online pirates even if they just point people to where they can download content they're clamping down data on torrent websites that put up hundreds of thousands of links to copyrighted material and as r.t. sarah firth reports next it could now land the people that run those businesses in jail. well there is one single favorite d.v.d. listening to music or maybe sharing music with a friend 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 that's a great unpopularity we've seen in the u.k. authorities alone with record company labels launching a precedent and torrent site campaign the first sign of this calmed down by the u.k. authorities came in a form of a letter from the national intelligence and then it will and that they found guilty

of certain offenses to face ten imprisonment well here to talk torrance with us unto him by digital policy blog. thank you for joining us james i think of you first of all let's clear up because you can see here you know people on the. 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 i would if you provide a link to somebody else's storage of that same content then providing that lead. is technically not illegal however if you create a website with thousands of such stuff and you can put sizing around to make money from that website under british law under you care law there has been a prosecution it's

a ratcheting up of the rhetoric and these are actually nothing more because nothing has changed in the more since these glasses of being issued ok well we're certainly going to be keeping our eye very closely on what happens with the investigations will bring you all the latest when we. see london. president putin's put an end to frenzied speculation about his marriage announcing that he and his wife are divorcing after almost thirty years together the couple both told russian t.v. that the decision was amicable with details. well if we say that this bit of news came as a complete surprise i would say nothing at all mainly because in the history of modern russian history of soviet russia and in the times before that none of the top officials have ever made their family problems public in fact never voice their divorce in the case of putin family there has been mounting speculation in the media especially the tabloid media about the that the climate of relations between the president and his wife this has been going on for several years already the

couple has been rarely seen at public different public events and have rarely been making comments about each other well now officially all these rumors have been quashed by the president and his and his wife 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 that my wife has done a nine year shift by my side basically the decision was mutual. students like that the most said it was in fact 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 oldies i really don't like being in the spotlight all the constant travelling is difficult for me we simply don't see each other. this may actually be a sign of things to come that by going public with details of his family life put

in may signal the whole new approach from the russia's top official stalwarts their private lives and maybe we don't know for sure but maybe the general attitude of the russia's top official store where it's their private life will be less secretive as it has been for many years now. just ahead playing god with bio engineering and climate control the benefits of perils next that in breaking this after the break. 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 in some sort of horribly racist or sexist ranted for 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. well from the. 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'd like. to eat i mean sometimes i believe that i'm feeling really messed up. in the old story so personally i believe it's. the worst cheaper to live through the white house or the. radio guy and four minutes from. what you. just did 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 arrow 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 what 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 barely not enough that israel receives more aid annually from the u.s. than any other world nation combined yes today this car.
