work closely with a number of other nations or you know only because paying off the truck 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't 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. and the united states criminal chases begun with top officials calling for snowden to be prosecuted to the poshest extent of the law intelligence analyst harvey told us that washington will try everything to catch the whistleblower and now they will use all the palos available to them both legal and dare i say it

illegal we've heard of rendition well he's he's too high profile at the moment i think to be spirited away so i do think that they will pay for the legitimate operation but there's no surprise about this it's a huge embarrassment it's a political embarrassment there is a phrase closing the stable door after the horses bolted well the thing is that with that was snowden he has given away so much information it is difficult to stop things now but they they will not stop this is the way that the intelligence services get their information nothing will change. so it's a big story that they would do you think about it you shocked everyone else that this is come forward to us what you think that guy's fate is going to be no. vote at r.t. dot com what do you think is going to happen to mr snowden now this is what you're telling us thirty one percent of you think he could end up in prison like bradley

manning twenty four percent of you said too early too complicated to predict twenty three percent think he's going to be given asylum in a sympathetic country like a scientist twenty two percent think the assassination is going to happen he's going to be eliminated so to speak to plug any future links you can change that of course if you go to different he was well let us know you can write in to our website r.t. dot com and you can also leave your comments are you tube channel as well thanks for taking part. now when it comes to getting have a whistleblower as i'm free speech advocates the u.s. need look no further than its own gulf allies several countries there have cracked down with a woman in kuwait given eleven years in jail on monday for insulting the emyr on twitter r.t. if he got his skin off reports next on how the gulf gets tough on the internet. let's now take a look at the u.s. friends who are known to have somewhat suspicious methods of upholding democratic freedoms of their citizens could tore the united arab emirates kuwait rain and saudi arabia now in saudi arabia local media reports that the authorities asked the

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 then they would have to be blocked while last month senior saudi religious clerics declared those who use twitter are risking quote demonstration and lose both this world and their afterlife let's move on to qatar now seen by many as a regional media hub which openly supports radical freedom fighters in syria while it's now looking at punishing websites and social media with a new internet called under the new draft the of the audience will be allowed to remove news videos or post even factual ones if they think the violate the sanctity of privacy now this brings us to the united arab emirates a country ruled by seven hereditary rulers were political parties are banned by law and their citizens can be jailed for tweeting like the recent case 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 now in kuwait this year alone at least six journalists and dozens of activists have been arrested on charges that include insulting the mirror on twitter other widespread charges for criticism online 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 being party to the international court and on civil and political right now finally last but not least rain 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. one activist from bahrain has managed to get asylum in britain caught back home sentenced to fifteen

years jail in his absence because he managed to escape before the police came knocking on his door when i asked ali why you'd fall and fall of authorities. if anything the you do it is upsetting the government unless you are supporting their legitimate set of what i did is i am sure there were. times last for allowing the people of bahrain to. participate in exchange their ideas and brainstorming and things. form for them to move towards the twenty one century that's what the region doesn't want one it in bahrain they don't they don't want their people to be educated and to know they are right i went into hiding for two years and i was applying high living securities to protect myself the opposition in behind is very very strong you can see more than three hundred thousand on this it's just because it's peaceful and because of the saudi arabia money no one is talking about it. because we would have your own termites to tear gas again turkey

is the country probably has to hit south sudan government protesters labeling them who lack respect for islam we talk about the recent. but next the syrian rebel national called nation boards calling on all foreign fighters no matter which side they support to leave the country is after syrian troops with the help of hezbollah fighters regain control of the town of qusayr near the lebanese border the syrian soldiers advance is simply pushing rebel supporters to washington to action knows policy reports. a bomb administration could decide this week whether or not to approve lethal aid for syrian rebels the u.s. secretary of state john kerry has postponed a mideast tour to participate in these talks now according to officials they were also the merits of the a list a likely move of sending me us a power to enforce a no fly zone which of course would be a very controversial decision at the same time lady a falls in the u.s.

marines have been deployed along jordan's border with syria and this is according to israeli and iranian media this deployment is unrelated so we're being told with the joint military exercise that started on sunday now the united states has deployed if sixteen jets and missiles which can be used against planes and other missiles to jordan and according to washington it might keep him in the country off to these drills the action of course has raised concerns in the international community russia says the deployment is and i'm a construct of state that threatens to expand the conflict and many are questioning whether or not the u.s. is preparing to carry out an incursion in syria and if so this of course will only further worsen the situation there many complain and incite far more controversy we continue to hear reports of direct foreign involvement in fact we're just hearing reports now of three belgian citizens who were killed in syria fighting for rebel front now exposed state that as many as two hundred belgians could be fighting in

syria right now they would have come in through the turkish border and belgian police have a review of a state civil citizens who have returned to the country after fighting and being radicalized inside syria this is not the first time that we hearing of foreigners fighting in syria we have heard of americans fighting there in the past all of this is happening in light of the moves made by the syrian president bashar assad's forces in fact we're hearing reports that assad's troops are poised for an attack on the key city of holmes which could cut off syria's. position from the south of the country we're also hearing that as many as five thousand hezbollah fighters are fourteen now inside syria helping the machine play sun with its campaign after capturing the town of course song we haven't litanies for the last week. international lawyer and political analyst dr franklin lamb believes the decision to send arms to syrian rebels will return to haunt president obama i think the

obama administration is willing to do this in a modest way only to placate some of the neo cons and some of those in congress as you know the american people are behind this only twenty four percent in a recent poll said that they would think that that would be a wise power for the americans over a half want to stay out of it so i think there is some chance but still there is a remaining problem for the administration finding a reliable group to give these arms to that would really do any good given all the all the divisions and whatever obama does he's going to get burned on this because the congress or certain factions are going to say lot to game to the wrong ones and then we're going to hear these arms are used in you know some sort of massacre and then it's going to bite by. coming up plan b. comes to greece quite literally up ahead the founder of a new policy will bring an alternative to greece tells t what's at stake feels

the prime minister it to resign but premier of the world is maintaining his tough stance at the same time warning demonstrators that his patience is wearing thin on his regular school reports from the heart of the unrest. 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 uncle rod this is the second day in a row that such such an event has happened on cars one of those is one of the 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 all 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 prime minister don't want continues to talk about his supporters who are also getting ready to go to the streets according to. their patience is running thin and

those who are siding with the prime minister are all ready to take to the streets and express their points of view is that of course happens in all of allister experts predicting that extreme civil unrest in the country all of them 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 taxi man 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. the grassroots protests were first book by plans to bulldoze a park in taksim square in istanbul but spread massively with people angry at the present islamist leaning government prime minister it one vote was to push on by the redevelopment regardless of political jeremy so university told the prime minister's competent stance is just making things worse. one has not changed

position in the at all i'm saying that the new building he wants to put up a new old building he wants to put up jackson square going to have a shopping mall otherwise he hasn't backed off one little bit and he's used very kind of aggressive language against the demonstrators is called terrorism vandals rakers marauders loses social soul and is then said that they dare to insult him as the prime minister the opposition party over the party is so very very careful not to talk softly into closer to these demonstrations but like almost i'm a stranger and as we saw in tahrir square there's no closer to a body people gather the streets and the whole nature of the protests was spontaneous the grassroots people who want to join the political part of the political movement they represent a broad range of interests that will come together again. in taksim and that of course have the spillover effect across the country. while we go full time one of the turmoil in turkey to r.t. dot com there's trouble at sea elsewhere though take a look at this. red twist for holiday makers in france when they catch sight of
