president obama defends a recently revealed mass of aliens program that monitors almost every aspect of people's internet and phone activity saying security goals justify invasion of privacy. a love hate relationship with the u.s. oppressors china it was suspected hackers attacks as america's shaky recovery becomes increasingly dependent on tiny's investment. and lads' mags in the u.k. may soon be going under the shelves as feminist groups descend upon the industry to have them removed from high street shops.

it's nine am here in the russian capital good morning to you thank you for joining us here on r t you with me tom one thing. president obama has defended his administration's a sweeping surveillance program in response to reports revealing the president a scale of spying on americans phone and internet activity the u.s. leader said thing crunch meant on people's privacy was modest and necessary for the country's security his remarks however led to some congress members accusing him of betraying the values you once advocated and as the see it should get i reports from the u.s. . and a massive leak on the extent of surveillance on hundreds of millions of people dubbed breathtaking by civil rights groups and outraged americans more revelations on what exactly u.s. officials have been popping into the light america's national security agency has been using three of the biggest u.s. telecom companies verizon and sprint to monitor all phone calls made by subscribers

now combined keep in mind these three companies have a staggering almost three hundred million customers and the spying is reportedly done regardless of whether or not there is reason to suspect scriver is of any criminal activity and this is of course shocking this includes all of the phone calls being made within the united states as well as between the u.s. and foreign countries making really the scope of this tracking system even wider than american territory and of course this comes at a time after the obama administration acknowledges the existence of an n.s.a. and f.b.i. program dubbed prism in a nutshell this program what it entails is nine major internet companies that include google facebook yahoo microsoft skype you tube apple a.o.l. and pal talk have been used by u.s. officials to monitor photos videos e-mails and audio to all other sorts of information tracking a really sweeping scope of individuals online activity and the n.s.a. is of course you know traditionally understood to gather foreign intelligence so the tracking of hundreds of millions of americans online accounts on u.s.

territory through american companies is certainly a pugil revolution to put it mildly but because of the popularity of these web companies such as google and facebook for instance it's absolutely obvious that communications spied upon does not just include americans and overall just staggering all consuming monitoring of personal data that is a major eye opening example of what obama's administration has been up to we have heard comments from europe mainly germany for example about the need to clarify the scope of this u.s. program on questions are also being asked about the extent of the knowledge of the british government in terms of what kind of knowledge it had on the survey. sixty and how it might have cooperated and dealt with the u.s. on this as well and it's important to note that online freedom fighting group anonymous has leaked a total of thirteen documents curiously one of them the us department of defense so-called strategic vision for controlling the internet and on an intelligence sharing network which shares data with partners around the world and obama's comments on this major scandal have also been pretty curious basically the us

president in a nutshell says that absolute security cannot walk hand in hand with privacy and lack of inconvenience and you know putting aside the claim of absolute security in the u.s. certainly something that has reason to be widely questioned this seems to be a statement completely opposing a belief voiced by our founding father benjamin franklin the those willing to give up liberty for some safety don't deserve either one but apparently the roots of the american history that the country prides itself in now irrelevant as obama's administration tries to wash off the amount of dirt released under a leader who swore by transparency as well as present of u.s. practices of democracy to the rest of the world as absolutely stellar well this is not the first time the national security agency has come under fire from methodism for people's rights we spoke to william b. word for the agency for thirty years and help explain some of its practices he told us the sweeping nature of the program can in fact make ensuring security more difficult. it's

a direct violation of the constitution and always has been that's why i left in a say in two thousand and one they started to do this exact it is it adds more more of a problem because what that means quite simply is if you go into a larger database you get more data back to matter what the query is it's like making a query with google if you go in with a google querrey you can get tens of thousands or hundreds i were even a million returns where there's no way you can go through that all of that to see what what you're really interested in so what that does is it complicates it in that way makes them really a less less proficient at doing their jobs well all of that's being borne by the taxpayer the u.s. government is likely to ape in a criminal investigation into the leak that revealed the scope of the surveillance operation to british and american newspapers horizon by the author of a free man's perspective news later lead to things that despite the bombshell most americans are still in denial of the state of things the problem with the people in

the u.s. right now is that they're not emotionally prepared to deal with the possibility of an electronic police state it's just something that they've never that something that happened in east germany it's something that happened in china but they never think such a thing is possible in america and it's a good question over how many people will just find a reason to pass it off there was terrorism one hundred years ago there was terrorism thirty years ago these organizations spent billions before nine eleven they spent billions before the seven seventh's bombings they spent additional billions before the boss boston bombings and they occurred just the same there's going to be terrorism one hundred years from now too so it's a fallacious trade the sale give us all give us all of your privacy and we'll give you security they haven't done it and they can't. as always we're interested in your take on the issue you can vote in our online poll to let us know how you think

u.s. citizens were react to the massive surveillance revelations here's what you've said . right sixty percent of you think that the government to surveillance was no secret for most americans and a little over a fifth see people must be outraged and the backlash is in average of all only nine percent to believe that it shows that the government is doing its best to protect the population and at the same them are questioning why their online lives are being looked into at all what do you think have your say at r.t. dot com. today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world is seeing from the streets of canada. joint operations room.

while barack obama is facing scrutiny at home over large scale spying on americans he's still pressing his chinese counterpart over this is specter hacking of u.s. secrets thorny issues like cyber wars and the u.s. military buildup in china's backyard set to dominate the second day of the historic summit in california archies. reports. president obama and chinese president xi are marking on a historic meeting in the sunnylands retreat here in the desert of southern california one of the main topics during this meeting will be cyber security now the u.s. government has been highly critical of china accusing it of hacking into u.s. military weapon systems and getting information from private companies here in the united states now china has denied that it is responsible for state sponsored

hacking and in fact internet insiders within china have said that they have also been victims of cyber attacks which have come from the united states now the united states has been very secretive about its cyber weaponry however it has been noted that the u.s. was behind the stuxnet virus which caused major damage to iran's nuclear facilities it is also known that u.s. cyber command is trying to recruit thousands of hackers in order to create cyber warfare or to protect the united states from hackers themselves and even president obama has proposed in his next defense budget nearly five billion dollars for cyber security one of the hot topics during his historic meeting which will also touch on trade and on the conflict on the korean peninsula chinese president xi is also

likely to raise concerns over the u.s. military buildup in the pacific something that has caused great concern in beijing . there's also another issue staring concern in washington china is about to complete a deal which could become its biggest takeover of a u.s. company expansion has drawn a lot of criticism from some quarters in america but some are actually welcoming the deal now on our skin screen right now you can see an exclusive response to our team from todd hable the secretary of agriculture in virginia he believes that the agreement is going to be beneficial for the state as it will provide american producers with more access to the chinese market or the george who thought of international certificate alliances says the criticism towards china is in many cases simply unjustified there is always going to be a segment of the american politicians and pundits that are always looking for

something to criticize when it is being china and sometimes the criticism comes from left field with no basis whatsoever certainly in this case the opportunity to use to blacken this deal by pointing out that chinese fork is not safe for their dead pig slowing down a river in shanghai it's also for the intention is not to supply the americans with chinese port but really is to supply american pork in china to satisfy the growing market there for for high meat products so again it's a win for the american industry and it's a boost for the american economy later today makes keyser and stacey herbage look closer at who profits and raise from trade wars.

turkey's prime minister has accused the e.u. of hypocrisy and double standards the demands for an investigation into the use of excessive force to disperse protests in turkey he said once as police in europe and the us are using the same methods to deal with vine and demonstrators to sing and to government under arrest the running into a second week with thousands gathering in the capital the night this time there was no police interference in stark contrast to previous nights when i thought jeez used tear gas and water cannon against protesters clashes have left at least three days and thousands injured foreign policy expert barbara slavin says it was a defiance is and refusal to address criticism is undermining the country's image internationally. so far i don't think he's doing a very good job and this is a huge blow to him personally to his image and also to the turkish model which he

has been touting around the middle east as something that arab countries should emulate he wants to change the constitution to create a sort of imperial presidency and then run for two terms as president this kind of behavior is alienating people who are religious as well as those who are secular so i think he's taking a big big risk by deepening divide among turks and he really should i think quit while he's ahead because obviously the longer he's there the more people even people who are predisposed to like him at the beginning begin to tire of his manner of governing he's somebody who lectures who sermonize is he doesn't listen very well in my experience and i think this is really not a good model for a country that purports to be a modern islamic democracy i think this is left a lasting damage to him personally and to turkey which of course has been you know

very successful economically it's attracted many many tourists from around the world people may think twice now about going to istanbul if there's tear gas going up and down is to. all avenue and in taksim square. coming up israeli arabs feel they're being walled off from the country's economy the latest u.n. report shows the last majority of them live below the poverty line. claim that the arabs just don't want to be helped. and that india is said to launch a nuclear reactor shrugging off massive protests over safety concerns while its russian manufacturers claim it would send a passenger jet crash that story and more is coming up shortly. well. it's technology innovation all the developments from

thanks for staying with us here on our men in the u.k. could soon be about to lose some of their favorite magazines subsetting so-called lads' mags i could face legal action for sex discrimination and be forced to take them off the shelves as a result our boy has more. you're allowed mags it's a booming industry aimed at young men featuring lots of pictures of scantily clad women here in britain you can buy them in your local high street shop well that could be about to change because two feminist groups armed with the support of several prominent british lawyers say that leaving magazines objectify women and could underpin harmful constitutes that could lead to discrimination reasons why it's against women so they're pulling on the high street retailers to stop selling the publications if they don't they say they risk being sued for the rights led by customers and so what has the light what can you really be harassed by an inanimate

object sure they rank hotness of naked ladies and features chauvinist jokes but would removing them lead to a line of censorship we hit the streets of london to find out what the public think choose i'm older and getting paid for what she's doing and that's what i did and more and more go itself in those pictures and well it's not just girls i post you can be all quiet and see things just the culture that we're in though i don't i don't like seeing them if i walk into my is happen before i walk into my local news agency and i've seen like just boobs everywhere and i have asked them to turn them over and ask me to put them higher i don't want to see and should be a choice i don't think is harmful is what i mean it's for certain kind of person who reads that so it's really fun to press whether it's political or images or whatever within reason obviously there's the legal issues. is a dangerous is a dangerous route to go down editors on the readers of a last minute they're up in arms there are arguments against removing them is simple since the magazines became popular in the mid one thousand nine hundred

incidents of domestic violence in the u.k. have actually gone down and if lads' mags a deemed to be harassment then how long before fashion magazines and advertising images deemed to be harassment as well and what's to stop men from being offended by pictures of naked males also on the covers of other magazines playboy carry on see why. and. there are more stories on our website of our dog com including of the rage of thousands in the fronts of serious predators the death of a teenager is a left wing activist was it a random attacked or a case of liberal politics of breeding far right extremism read the details on our website. also there is some part of the world may have to brace themselves for months long blackouts as the sun there couldn't reach a peak of activity by electric lines all over the planet on the bright side spectacular or was also forecast. by

humans the between palestinians and israelis has become a common occurrence in the occupied lands of the west bank you know inside israel authorities say citizens of any nationality are treated equally arabs beg to differ saying not enough is being done to economically integrate them and reckon poverty numbers seem to support the claim at least policy or reports is really leaders make jerusalem is the undivided capital of israel but try telling that to the city's two hundred eighty thousand arabs and between one and one million old rules. the jews have everything gardens pools children go to camps in the summer but we did not have these ngs. this school sports ground is typical of facilities for jewish children but a stone's throw away arab children. spend their afternoons playing here in the street in front of his house in the first a study of its kind the u.n.

found that palestinian poverty in jerusalem has risen steadily over the last decade eighty two percent of arab children live in squalor three times as many arab families live below the poverty line compared to the jewish neighbors part of the problem is this war that is all started building a decade ago israelis say it's necessary for security and to separate israel from palestine but what it's also done is isolate arab jerusalemites from their traditional economic sphere in the west bank and so whereas once you had daily visitors coming from palestinian cities to shop in jerusalem that's all but dried up add to that the discriminatory policies which see the cities arabs paying high municipal taxes for poor services and it's no wonder arab jerusalemites are suffering the worst poverty rate of all time the jerusalem municipality has an arab affairs department but critics say it pays less attention and money to the very citizens it's meant to serve something the municipality acknowledges but refuses to

shoulder the blame yes. because it is very difficult for us to give services to those communities behind the wall there is a security issue with sending city employees or contractors into those neighborhoods in the past our men were attacked while trying to provide the residents and services but many arab jerusalemites feel it's a smokescreen they say the municipalities really intention is to kick him out to make their lives so uncomfortable that they eventually leave his our lives here in the shell java neighborhood on the border between east and west jerusalem jewish groups say his family's house like many others was once owned by jews and they want them back. they are doing everything they can to kick us out of the city. their goal is to make it just a jewish city with no palestinians and that's they israelis say in t.v. that arabs of jerusalem are citizens who are equal when in fact we're not equal that's all. and so far from the moaning the fact that he's playground is just one

the could nuclear plant a joint indian and russian venture and it seems the launch of the station thought to be the biggest in both india and the world couldn't have come at a better time defeats it a little in that there is a huge energy deficit in this particular part of the country in the tamil nadu province and across all of india industries are suffering there already quain for energy they need of course the fusion will help things there. the government estimates that the country's power supply is about ten percent behind what it actually needs last summer half of india's population more than six hundred million people lost their electricity for two days major indian cities are still often plunged into darkness right now india gets fifty five percent of its energy from coal but the fossil fuels future is bleak state owned coal india the largest producer here is under pressure to sell below market price and can expect
