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

three pm in moscow you're watching r.t.i. marina joshie welcome to the program president obama has a fan that his administration sweeping surveillance program in response to reports revealing the unprecedented scale of spying on americans phone and internet activity the u.s. leaders said the encouragement on people's privacy was modest and necessary for the country's security his remarks however a lead to some congress members accusing him of betraying the values he once advocated and as you are going to 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 describers 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 all 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 and all other sorts of information tracking a really sweeping scope of individual's 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 communication 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 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. stick to it 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 is to be a statement completely opposing a belief voiced by our founding father benjamin franklin that 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 a foreign methods infringing people's rights we spoke to william binney who worked for the agency for thirty years and helped expose some of its practices he told us the sweeping nature of the program can in fact make ensuring security more

difficult to 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 the fact is it has 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 where you can get tens of thousands or hundreds were even a million. but 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 now the u.s. government is likely to open a criminal investigation into the leak that revealed the scope of the surveillance operation to british and american newspapers paul rosenberg the author of the free man's perspective newsletter thinks despite this bombshell most americans are still in denial over the state of things the problem with the people in the u.s.

right now is that they are not emotionally prepared to deal with the possibility of an electronic police state it's just something that they've never that that's something that happened in east germany 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 on so it's a fallacious trade the sale give us a lot give us all of your privacy and we'll give you security they haven't done it and they can't. as always we are interested in your take on the issues so you can vote in our online poll to let us know how you think u.s.

citizens will react to the mess or valence revelations that's r.t. dot com now let's take a look at how some of you who already voted voted so far so as we can see the majority of those who voted think the government surveillance was no secret for most americans a little over a fifth at this point say that people must be outraged that a backlash is inevitable now only nine percent and believe that it shows that the government is doing its best to protect the population and about the same number a little less than that actually eight percent are questioning why they are online lives are being looked into at all so let us know what do you think on the issue by logging on to our website r t dot com. news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world seen

from the streets of canada. showing corporations rule today. while barack obama is facing scrutiny at home over a large scale spying on americans you still pressing his chinese counterpart over the suspected hacking of u.s. secrets thorny issues like cyber wars and the u.s. military buildup in china's backyard are set to dominate the second day of their sturrock summit in california artie's wrong galindo 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 . oh there's also another issue stirring concern in washington china is about to complete a deal which could become its biggest takeover of u.s. company beijing's expansion has drawn a lot of criticism from some quarters in america but some are actually welcoming the deal well on your screen right now you can see an exclusive response to our team from todd hey more of the secretary of agriculture in virginia and 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 augusta soto who's an expert on china says relations between beijing and washington will always be characterized by cooperation and rivalry at the same time china goes google and it is a phenomenon but we have to sued to the united states in the first place because

they have a special relationship just as soon as to how it china's devices the size of the american economy in our four five six years time. by the two thousand and thirty will double the sounds of america's economy we all moved within the corporation and . i think cooperation with china is the beneficial for united states we. are trying that you would not have with these big companies that are growing and growing every year we have this move to nationals not only in the south if you have part of china but those sort internet very nice to see that for two of the most important companies many americans in a c. trump romans the most popular of the month so i think it is a beneficial next hour max kaiser in states however to look closer at who profits most from trade wars.

turkey's prime minister has accused the e.u. of hypocrisy and double standards ower demands for an investigation into the use of excessive force to disperse protest in turkey mr de one says police in new york and that u.s. are using the same methods to deal with violent demonstrators turkey's sea anti-government unrest running into a second week with clashes marking another night in the stamboul from where the protest has spread across the country the demonstrations have been also growing in the capital ankara though there was no police intervention earlier authorities consistently used tear gas and water cannons against protesters further fueling people's outrage foreign policy expert barbara slavin says america wants to find and we fusil to address criticism in undermining the country's image abroad. 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 the 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

violence between palestinians and israelis has become a common occurrence in the occupied lands of the west bank meanwhile inside israel authorities say citizens of an e nationality are treated equally arabs beg to differ saying not enough is being done to canonically integrate them and record poverty numbers seem to support their claim are reports is revealed as making jerusalem is the undivided capital of israel but try telling that to the city's two hundred eighty thousand arabs. whom you hold with. the jews have everything garden tools children go to camps in the summer but we did not have these things. this school sports ground is typical of facilities for jewish children but a stone's throw away arab children like ms a 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 wall and that israel started building a decade ago israeli 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 city's 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 and yes. 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 real intention is to kick him out to make their lives so uncomfortable that they eventually leave his our lives here in the shed jalen 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 get us out of the city. their goal is to make it just a jewish city with no palestinians and that's the israelis seem to be that arabs of jerusalem are citizens who are equal when in fact we're not equal that's all. and so far from bemoaning the fact that he's playground is just one street and these

now an avid martin show breaking the set. new york magistrate judge gary brown has ruled that it's ok to track people's will cation via their cell phone the judge supports his decision by saying that there is no legitimate expectation of privacy in the perspective of a cellular telephone where the individual has failed to protect his privacy but ticking the simple expedient of powering it off this statement seems to hint that cell phones are some sort of luxury and that people are just too lazy to turn off their phones when they want privacy this ignores the fact that there are many people who have to be on call twenty four seven like surgeons and server

technicians these people can't just turn off their phones so does that mean that certain professions can't have privacy also this presumption that people have no expectation of privacy what about people who send images of text messages of a sexual nature to each other joy think that all these people just assume it's all public goods i don't think so the fourth amendment says that people have the right to be secure in their persons houses papers and effects and i'm pretty sure that's cover cell phones too but that's just my opinion. loaf. you live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck i got so. i

mean the town i believe that i'm sitting seems really really messed up. in the old story so personally. it's. worse for the little thing the white house or the. radio guy and politico minestrone probably want to watch closely are about to produce never seen anything like this until. what's up guys i mean martin on the break in the set since it might as well be called freaky friday why because i just read the most disturbing news story i've seen all month it's about a man named zeke you'll go bert the last december shot and killed a female escort he had hired for sex and it seems like a clear cut case of homicide to me apparently not to texas jury who fully acquitted

him based on a bizarre and disturbing technicality is seen gilbert alleges that she that she refused to sleep with him after he paid her honored fifty dollars and according to a texas law individuals are allowed to use deadly force to recover stolen property at night and that was enough for mr gilbert to get away scot free oh detects this guys this is disgusting and seems to take the controversial stand your ground law to the most extreme measure possible in this case not even so. defense was part of the fusion so really this isn't just about some pervert killing an escort in texas it's about the kind of unjust laws that are still somehow in place exemplifying how backwards this country truly is so let's get to it and let's break that's that.
