over a given to just after a woman past ten o'clock now moscow time thanks for being with us tonight where of you watching around the world is kevin when you're at r.t. and first prism details of america's eavesdropping creation is stunning critics tonight and supporters alike showcasing the sheer scale of washington's surveillance empire according to league documents for years now it's logged potentially people's entire online life while telecom giants have handed the government the call records of more than three hundred million people mostly u.s. citizens artes and this is situation has been following this story for us. in the massive leak on the extent of surveillance on hundreds of millions of people that civil rights groups here in the u.s. are breathtaking more revelations on what exactly u.s. officials have been up to are being brought into the light after groundbreaking news that america's national security agency has been collecting in for millions of
2:02 pm
customers over on one of the country's biggest telecommunications providers arise and we now know that the sweeping monitoring also includes two other huge u.s. telecom companies. and sprint now combined these three companies have almost three hundred million subscribers and as the world has been discovering every single phone call customers have been making has been monitored by the n.s.a. and this is reportedly done regardless of whether or not there is reason to suspect that subscribers might be behind any criminal activity and this comes at a time after the obama administration also acknowledged the existence of an n.s.a. and f.b.i. program dubbed prism and in a nutshell this is a program that includes nine major internet companies google facebook yahoo microsoft skype you tube apple a.o.l. and. these companies have been used by u.s. officials to monitor photos videos e-mails audio all other sorts of information tracking a sweeping scope of individuals online activity and the national security agency's
2:03 pm
of course you know traditionally understood together foreign intelligence so the tracking of hundreds of millions of american online accounts on u.s. territories through american companies is certainly quite a revelation to put it mildly because of the popularity of these web companies such as google and facebook for instance it's really absolutely obvious that communications spied upon does not just include americans and we have heard comments from europe for one namely from germany about the need to clarify the scope of this you want us program questions are also being asked about the extent of the knowledge the british government has had on the surveillance activity we also know that online freedom fighting group anonymous has leaked a total of thirteen documents curiously the one of the. the so-called strategic vision for controlling the internet of the u.s. defense department of defense also a network called an intelligence sharing network sharing data with partners around the world and while certain u.s. officials call these leaks reprehensible and continue to claim all of this has been
2:04 pm
ongoing in the name of fighting terrorism namely we've heard from barack obama saying nobody is listening to your phone calls this is not what the program is about certainly a big brother is a watchful eye of such magnitude as revealed for the first time under his presidency a leader who promised its country transparency in an age when the west as much as ever continues to try to present its democratic practices to the world as stellar and this is kind of the revelations over the scope of the surveillance operations call show even in congress which authorized the practice congressmen say they were never told about prism and did not expect a system of such magnitude to emerge from a security policy bill next that let's talk to mccollum he's editor of buzz flash should truth dot org hi there thanks for being with us i mean what's the harm in the government having access to information like this if it is in the name of security finally it's our constitution we do in this country have to have why your tips authorized was a big deal new united states to get a judge to authorize
2:05 pm
a wiretap on one person basically with what you have now is the sweeps through prism through the internet or our e-mail is put in a data mining collection in national security headquarters. and this violates the privacy united states citizens and probably citizens throughout the world in addition we know what a minimal through the variety said in that it was a leaked judicial order by the way the whistleblower did to glenn greenwald of the guardian. and we know there. n.s.a. is authorized to act. many iterations and so forth but plan we greenwald also in it and as a. ex though phone calls are being recorded this has not been admitted
2:06 pm
to by the government your it is there direct evidence but there seems to be a lot of implications that may be true ok savory or not depending on your viewpoint this is put in place for years since two thousand and six of there's been no abuse of the information has come to light that we know of so far at least sort of the whole point of prism so i surely can see a place for it or not since everything is connected and secret see it's hard to say whether there has been abuse or not they have surprised when you don't have an open and transparent government in the government they simply has keech of the door of anyone's internet anyone's phone calls we never will know if it's been abused and there is a whistle blower and since the obama administration is so vigilantly prosecuting whistleblowers now we may never have that opportunity it's
2:07 pm
a bit like when you go to new fishing with these big fish or it nets now and for every tuna they get they get one hundred dalton's that's kind of what is going on now is just a trawling operation where no one has any privacy and maybe throughout the world maybe in russia but you know what we put most we don't live in a perfect world do we i guess this is the problem i mean let me just quote benjamin franklin one of the founding fathers of the us he says those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety that apply you today. yes that's an excellent quotation and there are minutes against this unconstitutional intrusion on the privacy of i believe not only americans but people throughout the world remember a lot of this is being done through satellites there is a very. little known agency in the united states called the national reconnaissance office yet are all there on the internet they have a website they are responsible for the satellites that intercept many of these
2:08 pm
phone calls that intercept much of the data transmission on the internet and they're very proud of it you can see at their website that used to be a classified agency these satellites are all over the world and intercepting calls not just in the united states but throughout the world so yes we are sacrificing a lot of liberty for perhaps a little bit of safety every job we have. done about this tonight including us but it's going to change anything. one would hope so the enabling war for this in the united states the u.s. patriot act as it's called it's really very unpatriotic but all of this is being down in secret by oh i surprised by a court. in the united states and implemented by the obama administration when obama was senator he spoke out against the provisions of the patriot act in a loud survey of one's life of all american citizens now he's been acting it on
2:09 pm
steroids and that's quite worrisome to those who leave that we have a constitutional principle of privacy in the fourth amendment mark thanks for the ones not mccarter there is sort of blood flush of truth dot org thanks so much. big story want to know what you think about it as well on our website we're going to get predictions on how you think this is going to go down with the u.s. public has said lot of people jumping up done about it tonight but what do you think is going to be the outcome of this is what you're telling us so far the majority of you fifty eight percent because again this you think cynicism prevails everyone knows that the government was spying on everyone anyway in the u.s. twenty percent of you outraged forty percent of you relieved that the government though you think americans believe the government is doing nothing to protect them eight percent of you in shock about it still plenty of time to change a lot of course don't come tonight.
2:10 pm
more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images of the world on the streets of canada after. showing up for a shelter all day. 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 rajiv tarbet one once again accuse the protesters of violence and vandalism saying it would be dealt with more harshly in a european country or the demonstrators have been packing cities across the country for a week now after police crushed a peaceful environmental sit in attacks him square that in turn ignited street battles which reportedly left three people dead in clashes which saw tear gas water canon and electric batteries deployed protest support joins us now live from new
2:11 pm
york and either why do you support the occupy taxi campaigners. first of all i'm obliged to tell that it is it can only be a sign of weakness to call round of them. the people who are resisting a very brutal law enforcement enforcement down with disproportionate intelligence with aesthetical be aesthetic beauty with humor and with heroic determination and why i support this movement is that simply life is so beautiful when people get together and together struggle for some coals engage in political activity and daily activities and so on and i believe that this is the only way we can tackle the problems imposed on us by. neo liberal economic political or that i can get on that more but they are they are providing immense hope and that's why.
2:12 pm
i support them completely but mr ware the world doesn't seem to be listening to the protesters does see despite everything you've just outlined and i think it is very clear that this brings us to. the expression provocateurs if he uses and many many people are thinking that these actions these actions are procreated by external or internal power sources but i think the i think we don't need such a complicated his story for this because the general pattern in the uprising or in the events is that police is taking the protesters when they are related when they are dancing not man they are educated or protesting or when they are wired this is because they don't want them to. talk to each other produce something together because everyone himself has criticized the police we know that some record he
2:13 pm
criticize the heavy handed tactics but end of the day. the good the good things you say the protests are making any difference you want to turn it around so i don't care we're still going to build there anyway. yes they did they i think i think he wants they want to talk to crackdown because that what they are forced to do because there we are talking about the revolutionary force here that that has a revolution a potential in the sense that it has the potential to change the way we produce our culture produce our science produce our food and all that stuff and this is a this is a real threat because when you are in the street when you break this. period and consumerist individual is in that is imposed on people when you get out onto the street and then you collaborate and then you can change their ways and on top of that if you can engage the labor force the other organized forces into this struggle then this is going to be
2:14 pm
a huge challenge for our present framework so this is this this is this is why the crackdown is so i don't know. do the majority of turks think like you say these protests is the original protest as they care about the beautiful people as you call them trying to protect this started the larry of green in the center there to the majority of the public in turkey things like that as well. yeah it is it is actually it is actually the the war is not between the numbers actually at the protest when when we have a critical mass it's important but the real war is at the ideological level so and the numbers change quite easily in turkey this is this is this is quite obvious from the history but the thing is we are all out of place and time to get together and create together or collectivity right so the thing is that if we can if we can capture this space and we can build build there an organic
2:15 pm
grassroots ideology then we can we can bring the other ones into that as well so we've got to leave it there tonight i don't think it's about numbers ok thank you for making your positions to clear we appreciate you taking the time to deal with this. protest supporter and i ok mistakes are being allowed. well for a full briefing of how turkey's troubles have developed from the outset we invite you to head to our web site out there you'll find coverage analysis and updates twenty four seventh's. coming up very soon tonight browsing online links to your favorite t.v. shows could become a thing of the past if you're in the u.k. that since the police have they way they're cracking down on those torrent websites

and threatening to put the people who run them three years. divorced over judy president putin says big of the top job is be on the split with his wife which the couple insist was amicable where paul i'm up to them after the short break. the u.s. government versus private first class bradley manning what is this trial all about protecting state and military secrets for a show trial scapegoating one individual says this trial sent a chilling warning to would be whistleblowers and journalists and what does aiding the enemy need in the age of the internet. the civilized world produces more foods that it needs. well people die of hunger in other countries. millions of victims every year. where a meal is the most treasured. is
2:17 pm
flood or droughts to blame. it was a bad year without a train. we couldn't find anything. but there was great hunger. is it did help comes too late and without good intentions. charity diplomacy and business. again the chinese and u.s. leaders are about to hold this summit which is already being labeled historic meeting but there's a chill beyond the warm smiles in california too with the two countries clashing over a range of divisive issues including accusations that china has launched a cyber war against the united states is that is what important explains now. after
2:18 pm
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 those sorts of weapons but most countries agree not to do so or to use them 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
2:19 pm
technology we're also clear eyed about the challenges in charge. 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 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
2:20 pm
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 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 r.t.
2:21 pm
. told to bring forward a major expert and former euro as well from spain with a sickly. do you think the cyber spying scandal another of pressing issues is going to pour some cold water on the forthcoming meeting is it really going to dampen it down oh absolutely it's to start leaking it's the first meeting with the new chinese leadership which used to looking to be more outgoing producers but nevertheless some very difficult issues around. cybercrime north korea. if you won't trade relations are all going to be difficult issues and even china's intrusion into latin america which after all under the monitor of dockery is supposed to be entirely u.s. so if you want territory here as you say these are two trading titans on by the dollars at a rough ride lately some economists think it is outlived its life as the international currency does not therefore mean that china has you on has got to have an edge in what i mean absolutely of course the euro is not there to broadly either in terms
2:22 pm
of becoming a global currency but increasing the you know what was a one is being used in parts of africa parts of asia as a part of currency already. going to become convertible sometime in the near future and china to express interest as they enjoy the approaching groupthink trans-pacific partnership with the slashing design is designed by the americans as a way of inserting china economically and militarily so you can join a club was designed to keep you out. so i won't be signing up to the u.k. or some some already cold some already called this meeting a story you just said it yourself this isn't really about big potential oh well i mean yes in the sense that it could be good or bad but i think that when the two biggest powers in the world actually get together. it's clearly it can be good things coming out of all bottom line but sure both i mean only on the cyber crime story and what's interesting is
2:23 pm
a lot of thought the chinese will be asking the americans about purplish you and i shall after all the americans are phone hacking and evil hacking everybody in the world and james woolsey the former cia director said that that was very valuable for america's industrial companies so pretty quote quote shut down your shutdown your hacking but american turtle has flown in for a few times to fall for. it also as your expert as yours will appreciate it thank you. could be another up front opening up in the cyber conflict to between the u.s. and china with predictions of a trade war china is about to complete a deal which could become its biggest taker over a u.s. company escapee pilbeam from r.t. business explain to. these guys have been in serious competition for a long time now we know china is set to take the top spot by as soon as twenty twenty seven face rivals in terms of business we also know that billions is traded between these countries as well actually moment ten billion already this year
2:24 pm
marina so you follow them for us that is very impressive actually doubled this time last year and triple the year before so what does that matter if it's you know about by then it makes up a fifth of all foreign purchases that china buys up so it's very impressive indeed and others say phenomenal growth and i want to talk about a few tensions because the one that springs to my mind has to do with the yuan we know that the u.s. is always accused of i know deliberately manipulating their currency in order to get the export is the offer has always been that tension a rumbling in the background there but plenty of billions traded box the fact of what is china buying from the you all right let's have a look because they all going up plenty as we can see that is all the technical stuff it's the mobile flows the computers the equipment or did the vision and also some of those products are actually american apple comes into the accounts as an import even though it's actually an american brown is it's made in china as we know a lot of sustainable right yeah exactly what is it that irritates some people because it's the biggest most valuable company absolutely soybeans would you believe it that is the biggest import for china from america to the end of the day
2:25 pm
they've got a lot of mouths to feed the number one thing that china buy is debt they have a quarter of it from america they also buy up with state oil companies satellite companies and plugs and i love hawk actually china is the biggest consumer of pork in the world and at the moment there's a four point seven billion dollar deal actually pending at the moment we've got sure and high international the biggest meat company in the world wanting to buy up smith the u.s. port company and if it does go to be the biggest trade deal between us and time in history. the death of a young left wing activist who was brutally beaten by skinheads to spread a wave of protest and see it through french society today just motors also pushed thousands of anti freshers protesters out onto the streets is testament to the reports next roti. the police and france are investigating
2:26 pm
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 protest 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. not. a few which. i feel. pretty good. advocating. that
2:27 pm
this is a case of a right to stick sumus group having killed a leftist student and you will have members of both sides weighing in on the issue of explosives. they will use disprove. that would explain that. which is of course not the case of. it 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. british police are gunning for the online pirates even if they just point people to where they can download
2:28 pm
content they clamping down on those torrent websites that put hundreds of thousands of leagues to copyrighted material no sarah firth reports next it could land the people that run those businesses in jail. well there is one single favorite t.v. . listening to music or maybe airing 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 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 this calmed down by the u.k. authorities came in a form of a letter from the national intelligence and then it was that they found guilty of certain offenses to face ten imprisonment we're here to talk torrents with us on to
2:29 pm
invite this little policy blog to 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 illegal however if you create a website with thousands of socially and advertising around to make money from that web site then under british law under 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 losses have been issued ok well we're certainly
2:30 pm
going to be keeping a very closely on what happens with the investigations will be bringing you all of the latest. london. justice and palestinians claim they face an uphill battle in the courts against the new neighbors were only too happy to put the finger on the trigger a report about them coming up soon. 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 be part of this probation plan to do select punch a student in the face or to go on some sort of horribly racist or sexist ranted for the class so 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
2:31 pm
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 to create more privacy issues than just the school knowing about the student's 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 dull 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. mission. critical three is for free. three. three. free. old free books. for your media projects free radio down to our.
2:32 pm
president putin put an end to frenzy speculation about his marriage announcing that he and his wife are divorcing offer was thirty years together the couple both told russian t.v. that the decision was amicable more details now from our desk. 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 russia the 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 voiced their divorce in the case of putin's 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 added different public events and have rarely been making comments about each other well now officially all these rumors
2:33 pm
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 some people are simply incompatible with such a lifestyle that my wife has done a nine year shift by my side basically the decision was mutual. to tradition. students like that 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

stolen by palestinians from his home but that i thought that the army supplied me but i don't even go out and walk with that i feel like shit at 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. of are you going to go and 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 heard 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 their detention could be extended and extended and extended by comparison the settler would immediately be allowed to consult with his lawyer he
2:37 pm

2:41 pm
dr thank you so much for taking the time to be with me it's a great honor to be sitting here and. cambridge actually about you know as someone who was a living in the aftermath of the boston bombing the chaos what did you think of the police and media response to them. i hate to second guess police tactics but my impression was it was. that they didn't have to be the leader of militarisation or if you are unable to do it it's kind of striking that the
2:42 pm
suspect they were looking for was. after they lifted the curfew and you just notice some of them are screwed. up. or. two days after the. boston bombing there was a drone strike in yemen. one of many but this one we happen to know about because. a young man from the village that was hit testified before the senate a couple of days later and described it and right at the same time what he said is so interesting. relevant he's he said that his village was an eyesore they were trying to kill somebody and it's village they said the man was perfectly well they could have a brand they wanted he was. a drone strike as
2:43 pm
a terror weapon we don't talk about it that way but it is just imagine if you're walking down the street and you don't know whether in five minutes. there's going to be an explosion across the street. from some place where up in the sky that you can see. somebody will be killed and whoever else is around will be killed. maybe you'll be you'll be injured if you're there that's just a terror weapon it terrorizes. villages region this is huge areas effects the most massive terror campaign going on along. and what happened in the village is that according to the testimony senate testimony that. he said that the jihadi as had been trying for years to turn the villagers against the americans. and had not succeeded because the only thing they knew about america that was what
2:44 pm
he told them was. here he liked it here back it was like he said in one drone strike they turned the entire village against the americans that's you know maybe a couple hundred new people who will kill terrorists if they take revenge it's a terror generating machine it's a terror it's a terrorist operation and a terrorist generating machine so it goes on and on and it's not just the drone strikes or suspicion forces and so on well that was right at the time of the boston marathon and it's just one of innumerable cases but why are people so easy to accept conventional wisdom government narrative with virtually no questioning and here a drumbeat of conventional. propaganda in my view and it takes a research project to find other things there are other cases where.
