i'm not going to. do. that. you can't come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk the whistleblower behind the disclosure of a massive u.s. surveillance operations comes forward saying he'd rather suck of all than idly watch the american government destroying people's privacy. he was also comes under fire for its stance in the gulf monarchies the way activists claim a new controversial internet regulations have led to arrests and a further curbing of freedoms. and in turkey police crackdown on protesters for a tense night in a writer with rallies in the capital demanding the prime minister resigned to. hungry for mali and the mineral wealth its global policy being drawn to one of the

poorest countries on earth to exploit its natural riches archie has a special report from the war torn nation and. it's just gone past midday here in the russian capital you're watching r t live with me. the source of the bombshell leaks that reveal the massive scale of u.s. surveillance has on moscow himself twenty nine year old former cia technical assistant edward snowden disclose the documents that prove washington was secretly collecting phone records and spying on the internet activity of millions of people exposing himself to possible prosecution he explained his the motives of what they need to inform the public of the operation and 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 for 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 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 are to talk to for my m i five officer and whistleblower any much sean about what's making

people in the intelligence community reveal the truth despite fears for the future . i'm in town again and there's the the powers of the states and the powers the corporate the 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 reasons or bad reasons and they will speak out well often people who do blow the whistle do try and deal with it in-house and certainly we did it and you go to your boss or you say this is wrong you say that you know perhaps we should learn from mistakes made or whatever it is and they tell you just to shut up not rock the boat and follow orders 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 for fellow human beings and if it's not right what can you do raise it to 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 war on line whole we're asking what the future might be for edward snowden now that he's come forward let's take a look at how opinion is divided so flaw almost a third of you say that bradley he might share the same fate as bradley manning and will be thrown into jail just a little less believe that he'll follow julian songes example and seek refuge in a friendly embassy and a quarter of you that voted reckon the case is too complicated to make a predictions and less eighty percent of you believe that snowden might be eliminated to prevent any further r.t.

dot com to let us know what she's doing. it's not just the infringement of people's our privacy that's put washington under fire support for several gulf states were cracked down on internet freedom has reached new highs resulting in arrests and bans is also causing deep concern r.t. as you go to school off 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 media has reported that the of toadies asked mobile providers to find ways to monitor encrypted messaging and apps like viber skype and whatsapp and 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 their nation end quote lose both this world and their afterlife

let's move on to 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 barring the 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 the disturbing a string of incidents across the gulf state of the many wonder why washington is ignoring the system to human rights violations the artes marina point maya takes a look at sydney's 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. . tens and tens of millions of dollars worth of weapons ammunition vehicle parts and communication equipment to the country now critics accuse the us of conveniently turning a blind eye to human rights violations in the gulf region for its own interests and geo political purposes bush instance quote when it comes to. morrow. it's been running. thirty years there is. murders and. no repercussions only. so the bahraini government are not months we keep selling them all sorts of. you know to

enforce their russian. tourists siloam over here in the united states most americans do not know we are supporting this all of 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 a rosy estimate so the friends of president suddenly declared the end of the eurozone crisis but that's cold comfort for those facing record high unemployment and tough austerity cross the country. with france in the middle of a troop withdrawal from mali and a un peacekeeping force is still deployed the the country is facing growing uncertainty and it's not just security that's on people's minds are many fear that the international involvement might not be limited to military operations with one

of the country's few thriving industries apparently being eyed by foreign corporations archies maria for national digs into the strong. little mina and attains herself while her entire family is at work her mom dad brothers and sisters are all miners and one of molly's many so-called traditional gold mines. make a hole the size of a body with this and then we dig deeper and deeper. the industrial mines series investments from big foreign companies work with machinery although often referred to as government mines they're all in fact private with only twenty percent of their revenue being paid into the country's coffers those who work in traditional mines don't have to pay the authorities but at the same time they don't get any help either the hell is narrow and deep they dig until they strike gold or some of the mines here go down at the depth of sixty meter is the equivalent over

fifteen or twenty story building the tunnels are so cramped there is barely any room for movement here and no support structure looks like nick loves it and it was carried here to see us i was. real i was overseas he. can tell this man to tell me what it is and here work it on the ground for hours it wasn't great was. that if here minutes bring it in becomes difficult with a lot of oxygen. this is the hardest part of a very long process rocks are extracted before been pounded sifted and washed if the team gets lucky their hours of back breaking work will produce some grains of gold the mind raised by this say you will then be divided between all those who went down the pit sometimes as many as a thousand miners. as i work more hours than i get for having spent around

five hours here we are dirty exhausted and terribly dehydrated people here usually work from ten to eleven hours per day every evening they're paid but not in care. they're given rocks taken from the mine this may contain gold if it doesn't just left empty handed this game of luck is for many mullins are their only way of getting paid but it seems their dreams of wealth in one of the poorest countries on earth could be dashed as the government moves to ban traditional mines that it's on a huge scale we lose a lot of money the black market is growing there is no proper tax system and we don't get a penny from it. at the moment but officials complain that traditional gold exploration is not about helping the poor to become more affluent but about exploding them to make the wealthy much richer than they were before molly's gold experts have more than tripled in the last decade yes mullins indeed seem not to be

among the beneficiaries but not all believe the authorities intentions will diminish poverty and that they will buy used to they only care about big corporations so i don't want to come in and take over our country's mineral wealth and certainly they don't care about ordinary people just pick up on their part of it is that this november and joint mollen suisse venture will start operating the country's first gold refinery with a monthly capacity of half the country's any oil production it will require a huge increase in exploration at least seven chinese geological agencies have already arrived in the country with many more likely to follow the law will these others change anything for the better for people the future of these people remains uncertain like their income and it's not clear whether they'll still have even they made their place under the african sun or a fashion r.t. from mali.

even tear gas and water cannon has failed to dent in the activist mood arches arena with the details now. this is still going on people are saying they're not backing down they're going to continue to protest and it's not all fun and games protesters have come under fire from police and on kharaj this is the second day in a row that such a such an event has happened in fact punk rock is one of those is one of the turkish cities which has been under a lot of pressure when it comes to police to reacting to the protests in fact it has been gassed or somehow the water cannons have been the use of 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 destry going to or don't want to use up 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 then all of

allister experts are 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 in texas seam and in gezi park for more than a week at this point their main demands it 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 to maga elman ditto sub prime minister and one has become a hostage to his self-centered politics. this is the problem for one as well as his hope for trump card he's playing on the cult of personality and anybody who lives in turkey or even with all these demonstrations will see how in flight magazines as well as political programs and so on and posters a small role of honesty he's the man behind all the success this has perhaps begun to unfold because it dangerous for him decisively because the opponents will say he

must resign the prime minister is the problem that may mean that 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 fall but the party itself would not. and you can always catch up with the stories we're covering for you online and the latest news analysis and comment just a click away at our t. dot com and here's what's waiting for you they like now after sending a rat turtles of worms and a monkey into space iran announces a new benchmark and vicious space program find out what that is online. so one of russia's most celebrated ballet dancers and nikolai it's carried say will not have his contract renewed find out why the bolshoi theatre has dropped one of its household names at our t.v. dot com. we speak your language i mean talk about the war not

situation that's quickly becoming the norm in the course of stricken european union and 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 in 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 greek beast any strange things out there and young people are out of the job this is just incredible labor mobility last week greece so that they can move from a high unemployment area to open employment area like for example germany clearly that's easier said than done though 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 are 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 of so. last generation if you compare gay youngest group with the middle age group or with the only strange group is not the youngest one of the biggest problems is to middle age category was most problems after forty forty five your chances of finding churches other really very meaty 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 who to noumea 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 you like you don't really want

a war like you are how can i say like a suspect i don't understand why we have no idea we are here for luggage a man who want to steal something we don't go we drug them away it's they saying see don't belong here this is for you to post abuse like a big family but nothing like that. i'm very sorry to say that but. this or sylvia r.t. brussels. and outside the monitory union europeans are still feeling the pinch aware that debt and austerity is still being a painful mixture archies a business present take a deep pull them 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 at 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 a british recovery on hold the main worries for britain's 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 kelly from id markets what the underlying problems are starry 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 of your 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 back 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 tough will start the measures are boosting the british economy. some other world news in brief for you at least seven the militants have been killed in a large taliban attack at kabul international airport in afghanistan insurgents are seized a building outside the airport and opened 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. and these are seven people have been killed and dozens wounded in yemen's capital sanaa when police reportedly used live ammunition on sheer protesters the demonstrators had gathered outside the headquarters of the country's internal security demanding the release of political prisoners yemen has

a couple of minutes it's capon change with all the. six india 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 another 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 foreigners who come 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 the us department of commerce and trust me not all of them are canadians if the usa is

going to have millions of tourists arriving in traveling 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 native 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. hello welcome to the r t sports show twenty six action packed minutes of sport from
