people's e-mails passwords web histories from their own crypted home and wife i signals google is still wild almost three hundred billion dollars facebook with its one point one billion users as has more than a few privacy complaints in recent years there was the farmville breach back in twenty ten will face but was found to be giving out the game is identification numbers to bird party apps but the company is still worth nearly seventy billion dollars so all of these scandals appears to have dented the value of these companies so do we no longer care how intrusive they are that's what i asked leading media consumer has done you are now. it's clear that certain privacy rights and norms have been have been violated but we have to see really how this situation pans out before we make any judgment it's very difficult for consumers to just

leave facebook or any other platform because it's not something about either google or facebook but it's something about the internet as such consumers would have little eternity have to move to other platforms because they have all been at stands now complicit in providing data so if an hour just to switched into these sites but the more best spot is up on news days and more frustrated we're becoming and that grade might just make us finally log off from what a false becoming anti social networks are g.'s every martin spoke to the office of the untold history of the united states they say there's no way left in the u.s. we're big brother consignor the u.s. government now intercepts more than one point seven billion messages a day from american citizens one point seven billion that's e-mail that's telephone calls other forms of communication director at one point seven billion we've got this apparatus set up now with hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people over

a million people with top security clearances we've created this kind of very state they said in one nine hundred eighty four kind of state in many ways we say well five million five million clearances one million tons of security clearance that's pretty heavy no you know which we are living in a fishbowl and i think the sad part is that kids the young people except. they're used to very they don't say well you know it is true i mean how can we follow wives everybody but the truth is that we're all alternately watching ourselves listen or well you. may not be oppressive on the surface. but you know hearts we have to have for certain we've there's no place to hide there's no. really no place to on. cue. most henri's ahead for us little a day here on our team iraq is played by the words blood shed and. we travel across

the country torn by sectarian violence and to hear from sunnis and shiites about their plight. and with the french hating their military campaign in mali a sense says maybe say that intervention only open the doors to more extremism we've got the stories just ahead. nobody chooses to be homes no one chooses to be in our sorrow. is the world for the show to. get in the six pm get out six b six. there were. three things for. my mind to have namely the class before the. days the word against the word.

it's time to think about. to do. and to know that many may not have only been the last to choose should never be but there are also due to foreclosures that never should and. thanks for staying with us here on our team the u.n. is preparing to deploy a new peacekeeping force in mali i made warnings said on to step. it is groups in the north pose a serious threat to security across the region this is the modern government and

the two regular rebels negotiated a deal to allow elections to go ahead next month but as our g.'s maria financial reports many believe in the early military campaign by france only open the door to more bloodshed. france says it's done its job well in mali killed most of its islamist insurgents destroyed the infrastructure and pushed the rest of the country but the people who gathered here in the center of the northern city of kauai think france's mission isn't complete. people like the french are making excuses because our enemy is holding the doll they must resolve this before any elections are negotiations take place france should defend our community not try to keep us in our place. in the desert capital of kiddo has been out of governmental control since last year first it's been captured by terrorists indigenous african people fighting to create

a breakaway state in the north of mali than the radical islamists came the un sardine group believed to have ties with al qaida the two factions came to an agreement establish an islamic autonomy when the french military came they drove out most of the islamists but tour except artist are still there mali and forces haven't been able to enter the town for months now something that's never been a problem for french troops who have an air base in the baltic or that the criminal who have contacts with the separatists but we don't have coordination with them we don't discuss things with them they don't attack us and we don't consider them enemies we don't have any reason to attack them. but the touring separatists do attack is the mollen military in the area surrounding kidd else the witnesses have a fighting yet frank charmi so far refuses to engage with the rebels and can tell regardless of the threat they may pose tamales territorial integrity and the next

presidential election upon a little boy you've had with your mic our military part is over the rest is merely an internal problem. the mali tour of conflict is indeed very much a local fight after independence from france the torrens usual territory across more than mali and algeria was divided in mali it led to years of violence but our exit mostly populate the north of mali here in the thousand part of the country you will not find many whites this is how other ethnic moland groups with significantly darker skin called there are no magic neighbors and this geographical division only deepens antagonism but some believe this internal conflict could never stay as intense without outside help france has been openly supporting what it regards as an oppressed and discriminated minority shortly after the french intervention of the defense minister in paris suggested ethnic tour rigs in northern mali should have some autonomy in even the. political muscle the world will begin all over

again because of the behavior of the french the support of the torah group bailey and against all the tribes and cities in the north of mali which just alienated them from the rest even more. to separate groups which claim there is so aim is to defend the towns from the arms to riggs what they say their own belongs to them but you don't agree so we take up arms to defend our homes. they came first then the islamists arrived after them they opened the door for radicals to come to our land. last week president a laundry sieved a peace prize for the operation in mali but it's still unclear whether what the french troops will soon leave behind can truly be described as peace and what peace keepers officially coming to the scene this july will have to maintain. from

mali. at least seventy people have been killed and two hundred thirty injured in iraq during just one day in the latest spike in violence suicide blasts the roadside bombs and gun battles rocked the country on monday continuing weeks of bloodshed which is claimed nearly two thousand lives or since april much of the violence is blamed on sunni islamist insurgents with the minority protesting for months against the shiite led government argues lucy cavanagh one to investigate the sectarian tension. may was the bloodiest month seen in iraq in the past five years a surge in sectarian violence that's raised fears of another civil war sunni versus shia one country two sects. iraq has been through this before and that divide never really sealed tensions are growing between the shiite led government and minority sunnis inflamed by the raging conflict in neighboring syria to understand

the divisions we have to travel to an area off limits to foreign journalists the end bar province following the u.s. led invasion this area was the heartland of the sunni insurgency today it's become the focal point of the anti-government protests. for several months now every friday this scene prayer on the highway to baghdad followed by protests against the baghdad government it's a situation that's reflective of the state of iraq today a country that has been torn apart by war but doesn't seem to be and the closer to healing the wounds and the divisions that have been on the least during that occupation here the sunni protesters who have gathered behind me want a different kind of system they want to change they feel that the government doesn't represent them. is one of those protesters he's brought his son to almost every demonstration there for a residence but not by choice he says he was forced to flee baghdad for fear of arrest by the military and that his sect made him a target of one day

a military brigade surrounded the area where we lived in baghdad and started making arrests they were targeting sunday residents and arrested two of my cousins so i gathered my family and escaped to flu jab. the demonstrators complain of discrimination arbitrary arrests detention even torture under the rule of prime minister nouri al maliki charges that the government denies. that the government systematically driving sunnis from baghdad this is missing. migration is being done in the open cities are restricted in everything from where we live to the kinds of jobs we can have but in a shia neighborhood a different version of the story fearful of retribution for speaking out this residence prefers to hide his identity he tells us of the dangers iraqi shia face from armed groups. we also have been displaced by threats from al qaeda and other militias this used to be a mixed area but people have started exchanging houses between sunni and shia

families for safety some analysts blame the united states for the divisions they build the new system political system in iraq on the sectarian basis like they made the proportions for the seventies for this. and for the dish and this is very little. those divisions have taken a toll on a rocky youth a generation separated by the threat of violence. it really affects causes a lot of problems between me and my friends especially if they're from a different six we can't work together we'll hang out publicly in some neighborhoods i could get killed for being seen with someone from a different religious group ten years after the war iraq is still struggling to find peace as the ghosts of its sectarian past haunt the future. r.t.e. baghdad. some other news making the headlines of this hour starting with one where reform candidate mohamed to resign as just quit the presidential race the reports

say he was austrian drop out by the end of the reformist movement most of the six remaining fellow candidates in the poll are conservatives close soon supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei reducing any chance that a moderate would win the elections are due to start on friday. at least two people have been killed and five injured after part of a residential building collapse in the indian city of mumbai dozens of victims are here to be trapped under the rubble block a house a thesis sixteen apartments and a car show room monsoon rains are being blamed for the collapse. parts of central europe remain on high alert as deadly floodwaters continue to rise and tens of thousands of people have been forced to feed their homes in the east german city of mega mega bird after a dam burst on the florida swollen river elbe is fried reports that water levels

we're receiving at least twenty one people have been killed in the region in more than a week of intense flooding the cleanup operation is expected to cost billions of euros. i'll be back with more news in thirty minutes ahead it's every mountain in breaking this thing. six and eagle 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 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 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.

if you live on one hundred thirty three possibles for food i should try it because you know how fabulous. any. i mean i have read and i believe that i'm. really messed up. in the old story so actually. it's. the worst churchill it's a little light out of a. radio guy for a minute. what we're about to give you never seen anything like this until. guys i'm having learned from this is breaking this so guys despite u.s. troops lonely being pulled out of afghanistan we've always known as the private contractors would be there to stay but it wasn't until just recently that we got

a sense of just how many contractors boots are really on the ground or no latest census by the industry group professional overseas contractors there are currently one hundred ten thousand private contractors working in afghanistan far outnumbering the sixty five thousand u.s. military personnel that remain in the country now while some people argue that more contractors instead of troops is a good thing others allege this outsourcing is just a way for the u.s. government to invade its legal obligations blackwater ring a bell to anyone but it doesn't same amount of private contractors isn't disturbing enough according to government accountability office the pentagon can't even track what they're actually doing there so let me get this straight there's almost twice as many contractors as troops no one knows what the hell they're even doing and people wonder where our tax dollars are going this blows your mind to join me and let's break that said.
