thank you. i'm going to. come forward i guess the world's most powerful intelligence agencies. completely free from risk the whistleblower behind the disclosure of a mess of u.s. surveillance operations a comes forward saying he drug the sec of all the oddly wants the american government destroying people's privacy. he was also comes under fire for its don say in the gulf monarchies aware activists claim new controversial internet regulations have led to the arrest and for the curbing a freedoms. and in turkey police crackdown on protesters for the tenth night in a row with the rallies in the capital demanding the prime minister resigns gaining momentum. hungry full monty in mineral wealth as global

policies are being drawn to one of the poorest countries on earth to exploit its natural riches party has a special report from the war torn nation. wherever you're watching a from around the world and this is r t it's good to have you company with us i'm to bomb with the. the source of a bombshell leaks of edge revealed of the massive scale of u.s. surveillance that has a mosque himself twenty nine years old former cia technical assistant edward snowden disclose the documents that proved washington was secretly collecting phone records and spying on the internet activity of millions of people exposing himself to possible prosecution explain to his a moped is where the need to inform the public all the operation and the president

obama's failure to provide the transparency that he promised i could be you know rendered by the cia i could have a people come after me or any of their third party partners you know they would they work closely with a number of other nations or you know we bicker pay off the triads you know any any if their agents or assets we've got a cia station just up the road in the consulate here in hong kong i'm sure they're going to be very busy for the next week. and that's a fear i'll live under for the rest of my life however long that happens to be you can come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk because they're such powerful adversaries the no one can meaningfully oppose them. if they want to get you they'll get you in time meanwhile the u.s. department of justice has already launched an investigation into the leaks archie told to film a m i five officer and whistleblower on about what's making people in the

intelligence community reveal the truth despite fears for their future. this happens time and time again and as the powers of the state and the powers the corporate corporate estate become greater and people come more concerned about civil liberties not just within their own countries but also the implications around the world people are worried about this the implications so i think that more young people within the intelligence agencies are going to think well actually we doing this for good reason go bad and they will speak out well often people who do blow the whistle do try and deal with it in-house i mean certainly we did it and you go to your boss if you say this is wrong you say that you know press we should learn from mistakes made or whatever it is and they tell you just to shut up not rock the boat and now particularly we're looking to situation where intelligence agencies are being asked to spy on their fellow citizens or to draw up cia drone kill lists across the middle east or to kidnap and torture people terrorist suspects and we have a situation now where young people are going to be coming into this and thinking all is this right should we be doing this to our fellow human beings and if it's

not right what can you do raise the boxes that goes nowhere you're told to shut up . the only other way and in this internet age i think is to go public and get the maximum exposure. as always we're eager to hear your views on the stories we covered today in our online poll we're asking what the future might be for edward snowden now that he's come forward let's take a look now at how the opinion is divided this hour almost a third of you say that he might share bradley manning's fate and will be thrown into jail just a little less than twenty seven percent to say that he'll follow dylan as long as example and the seek refuge in a friendly embassy and a court of view voted that of the case is too complicated to make predictions and less eighteen percent of their yes snowden might be eliminated to prevent any further leaks go to r.t. dot com to let us know what you think. but it's not just the infringement of

peoples of privacy that's put washington under fire support for several gulf states where a crackdown on internet freedom has reached new highs resulting in a wrestling bans is also causing deep concern actually as you go to peace cannot explains. let's now take a look at the u.s. friends who are known to have somewhat suspicious methods of upholding the democratic freedoms of their citizens qatar the united arab emirates kuwait bahrain and saudi arabia in saudi arabia local medias reported that the authorities asked mobile providers to find ways to monitor encrypted messaging and apps like viber skype and whatsapp and said that if these applications could not be monitored they would then be blocked while last month senior saudi religious clerics declared those who use twitter are risking damnation end quote lose both this world and their afterlife let's move on to the torah now seen by many as a regional media hub a state which openly supports radical freedom fighters in syria is now looking at

punishing websites and social media with new internet codes under the new draft the authorities will be allowed to remove news videos or post even factual ones if they think they violate the sanctity of privacy this brings us to the united arab emirates a country ruled by seven hereditary rulers were political parties are banned by a law their citizens can be jailed for tweeting like the recent piece of a man who received ten months behind bars for describing the legal process around a group of civil society activists quote in bad faith in kuwait this year alone at least six journalists and dozens of activists have been arrested on charges that include insulting the emir on twitter other widespread charges for online criticism from users are threatening national security and offending religion all on the web but the jail sentences are anything but virtual and sometimes stretch to two years behind bars despite kuwait being ported to the international covenant on civil and

political right finally last but not least moring last week six bloggers were given one year in prison each after they were found guilty of misusing the right of free expression and insulting the king even though apparently their angry tweets were merely criticism of the authorities. given this disturbing string of incidents across the gulf states and many wonder why washington is ignoring the persistent human rights violations the artes marine a point man takes a look. addressing these gross human rights violations is problematic for the obama administration you see america has military bases throughout the gulf region which not coincidentally helped form a strategic envelope around iran additionally the us is in the midst of a major buildup of american military forces in the persian gulf more warships additional attack aircraft and most recently a laser weapon systems have been deployed to the region in two thousand and ten

president obama struck a ten year sixty billion dollar weapons deal with saudi arabia and despite bahrain's bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protesters the u.s. has reportedly continued to provide tens and tens of millions of dollars worth of weapons ammunition vehicle parts and communication equipment to the country now critics accuse the u.s. of conveniently turning a blind eye to human rights violations in the gulf region for its own interests and geo political purposes. when it comes to. believe. there's been running. thirty. jails people towards murders. no repercussions will live on it so the bahraini government armaments will keep selling them all sorts of. you know to enforce their russian. who sits silent in the united states most

americans do not know we are supporting this all referred to as long as the gulf states continue standing under america's protective umbrella experts believe those nations will remain emboldened to violate human rights and democratic principles with impunity reporting from new york. r.t. . coming up later in the program rosie estimates the french president suddenly declared the end of the euro zone crisis but that's cold comfort for those facing record high unemployment and topples charity across the continent. with france in the middle of a troop withdrawal from mali and a u.n. peacekeeping force is still deployed the the country is facing growing uncertainty that's not just security that's on people's minds many fear that international involvement in might not be limited to military operations one of the country's few thriving industries apparently being eyed by foreign corporations or his memory of

giving. actually. before right. because. welcome back you're watching our scene police have once again clashed with protesters in turkey's capital on attempts might have nationwide anti-government demonstrations that started as a local environmental campaign last month soon escalated into violent clashes but even tear gas and water cannon have that fail to dampen the activists moods or it

is ridiculous to go with the details now. the protesters have come under fire from police and on karate this is the second day in a row that such such an event has happened in fact on cause one of those is the one of the turkish cities which has been under a lot of pressure when it comes to police reacting to the protests in fact it has been gassed or somehow the water cannons have been used some protesters almost every single day off the protests which have been going for more than a week at this point almost two weeks in istanbul the worrying trend here is that the prime minister don't want continues to talk about his supporters who are also getting ready to go to the streets were entered don't want to use their patience is running thin and those who are siding with the prime minister are ready to take to the streets and express their points of view is that of course happens that all the palace are experts at predicting. extreme civil unrest in the country and all of them of course are hoping that that will not be the case as it stands at this point

people in istanbul show absolutely no determination to go anywhere they have been camping out here and dark seam and in gezi park for more than a week at this point their main demand is also to see the prime minister leave his post but the prime minister obviously has made it clear that he is not going anywhere international relations expert told us the prime minister added one has become a hoss's to his own self centered politics. this is the problem for one as well as his hoped for trump card he's playing on the cult of personality and anybody who lives. in flight magazines as well as political programs and so on a. promise to he's the man behind. the gun control because it dangerous for concisely because the opponents say. the prime minister is the problem may mean the people in his party who are perhaps chafing under his very heavy handed and

dominant personality may perhaps begin to feel they could pull the rug from underneath him he would the party itself would not and you can always a catch up with the stories we're covering for you online of the latest news analysis and common just the click away at r.t. dot com and here's what's waiting for you right now then doing it brad turtles a worms and a monkey into space iran announces a new benchmark in its program i know what that on. one of russia's rated ballet dancer. will not have his contract renewed find out why the theater has stopped one of its. speak your language or not a dance. program. story

. here. in a surprising share of optimism french president francois hollande has declared the end of the eurozone crisis but his words are unlikely to sound convincing to many europeans are facing record high unemployment and painful belt tightening measures all across the continent and as artists or so your reports even the heart of the e.u. brussels of fails to offer any opportunities for those left without work enemies for survival. i'm forty seven and never sing i will go from door to door with as for was him nobody. nobody need me you know how can i say i'm messing around. i don't see any future for us here we have to go back

and back to their native rumania nico at the mill you ran into financial trouble after getting it back when four years ago in order to repay the debt they thought they'd try their luck elsewhere a fruitless journey that took the italy to germany denmark and i'm sure done before finally ending up here in the e.u. capital brussels really can't find anything. they tiny and people complain if they don't have anything to work we try to go to germany. he's much tougher you know because we don't know the language only nations in the sand like anybody and everybody say we don't have anything to work everybody complains. all of this part of the field where we've been. it's an unpleasant situation that's quickly becoming the norm in the crisis stricken european union in

the seventeen nations euro zone in april the jobless rate went up yet again to twelve point two percent compared to twelve point one percent didn't march that's nineteen million men and women in the whole e.u. twenty six point five million people are out of work the figures are even worse for the other twenty five's as youth unemployment in some countries has gone through the week. in greece any strange thing out of ten and beyond people are out of the job that is just incredible labor mobility has to increase so that they can move from high point employment area to open employment area like for example germany clearly that's easier. done for people like nicole and his wife what these latest unemployment figures show is something already known that europe is struggling to find ways to create jobs but what they don't show or the day to day lives of the twenty six and a half million unemployed europeans many of whom are desperately finding ways to put an end to their struggles to end up taking. yes yes

i know that a lot of people are telling about the loss aside a lost generation if you compare the youngest group with the middle age group or with the only strange group is not the youngest. the biggest problems is to middle age category last most problems after forty forty five your chances of finding chances are really very limited so you're almost on them for life being unemployed until you're your friendship and that is exactly why mika is now forced to think about woodturning cool to me via i want to go back home because. i don't see anything here. it's very hard to find a job and everybody look at chu like you don't really want a war like you are how can i say like a suspect you know i don't understand why we have idea we have here of luggage

a man who want to steal something don't go with luggage in the way this they seem to see don't belong here this is you posed to be like a big family but nothing like that. i'm very sorry to say that but. this are still the r.t.e. brussels. and outside the monitory uni and the europeans are still feeling the pinch a with debt and austerity still being a painful mixture archies business presenting katie pilgrim takes a look at how the british are coping. british people are feeling the pinch at the supermarket the petrol pump a monthly utility bills are rising while wages remain the same the economy is two point six percent smaller than the pre recession pages you can see just here more than five years on and the difference between germany and the united states is is evident to see just here the u.k. is significantly behind us for inflation then this means british families are

struggling to make ends meet food prices in april were four and a half percent higher than in the same month last year while energy prices were up two percent at the same time the rising cost of living means consumers are losing their appetite for shopping and this puts the british recovery on hold the main worry is for britons right now include not being able to afford university tuition fees paying the mortgage or even getting one in the first place the spiralling cost of childcare so i asked brenda kelley from ivy markets what the underlying problems are star she tends to make it a little bit more difficult for people what we do need to see is consumer recovery consumer confidence recovery and of course if you're a stir in there and of course high debt both from the public and private sector point of view it doesn't necessarily inspire confidence and without that you want of people spending you will have people pretty much saving and trying to deal of

ridge and pay down their debts or all of this does little to convince the british public that the measures are boosting the british economy. some other world news in brief for you this at least a seven minute news have been killed in the most skilled taliban attack at kabul international airport in afghanistan insurgencies a building on slightly board an open fire some of them were reportedly wearing suicide vests a series of explosions were also heard outside the facility which houses a large nato base. the seven people have been killed and dozens wounded in the yemen's capital of sanaa when police reported to use live ammunition on shia protesters the demonstrators had gathered outside the who quarters of the country's internal security service demanding the release of political prisoners yemen has also been plagued by sectarian violence between the shia minority and the ruling sunni for almost

a decade. going no way peter lavelle and his guests are ready to raise the temperature goes up right up to this. six a day ago residents were thrown off of an airplane not for what they said but how they said it because they said it in another language russian in fact a paranoid and cowardly steward on the plane told them that they had to clear out just for speaking of the other language to be here yes of some group of people were to commit a terrorist act then speaking in a foreign language would be a good tactic i can't deny that and four years ago to america better get on the ball and learn to speak english adequately but there is

a problem about fifty million tourists visit america every year according to the u.s. department of commerce and trust me not all of them are canadians if the u.s. is going to have millions of tourists arriving and try. and by air then don't be surprised when they speak their own languages if you're going to throw foreigners off of airplanes just for speaking their date of languages then you're going to have to basically throw people off of half of the planes flying over the united states but that's just my opinion. nobody chooses to be homeless chooses to be an s.r.o. . isidro's for the show to. get in the
