arrests. worldwide headlines live from moscow this is he with me will receive a welcome to the program and straight to washington for now what the u.s. are estimates of the potential damage to national security from leaks about its surveillance efforts and the man behind the edward snowden now faces a life on the run and one of the world's most prominent whistleblowers julian assange said that he feels sympathetic toward snowden's plight and the wiki leaks founder is still holed up in ecuador's embassy in london he did have a chance to tell my colleague despite a washington crackdown on leakers and there was a public demand for those who do reveal the truth. empathize having being through a very similar situation myself. trying to actively support through this interview

or in other ways mr snowden's plight already we have seen that the department of justice united states has taken up the issue has been many calls for his prosecution his family has been raiding homes and looted by police already started and yes he will be subject to prosecution by united states for years i'm certain of that many sources are quite scared i mean we're saying. colleagues of mine have even stated publicly that their sources are reluctant to talk because of the crackdown against bradley manning and that's what that whole trial is trying to achieve it's trying to set a precedent for the communicating with the media is the same as communicating with me and that's a death penalty phase. an outrageous president any. communications

of information to the media can be prosecuted for aiding the enemy and as a result. sentenced to death and that's that really it's the end of the security journalism united states if the president is the bush you still hold up in the ecuadorian embassy given the clampdown that might come down now whistleblowers after what we've seen over the last couple of days what do you think your personal chances are not walking free any time soon what keeps you going. what keeps us going is the worldwide support that we have which is really quite extraordinary yes we see he has a banking blockade that's cut out about ninety five percent of its finances but we have provide support so even five percent is. five percent is not nothing the u.k. government has admitted that they've spent five million dollars in the past ten months on surveilling this embassy in relation to me completely awfully disproportionate that's an offense to you kate tax plan people can see to

geopolitics but things are starting to change political you know stray. political party now according to the government's own polling outfit has between twenty five and twenty eight percent of the fire to the elections in september. and in the meantime antiwar activist kevin zeese he says no amount of government pressure and ultimately stopping insiders from exposing the wrongdoing to the members of the public well there's no question that the u.s. security state will continue with the same strategy and strategies which pursued really for many years and certainly president obama has escalated that strategy of prosecution you know it's amazing that they don't learn the lesson they tried to intimidate was a blower right across in bradley manly by mistreating him in prison hold the insulter it more than a year and you know we have some of the biggest leaks in history coming after that occurred they may intimidate some. welling is one person who has the courage and

the patriotism to step forward and tell the truth and i think you'll see there always happening whether it's big business abuse or big government abuse you'll see more and more people stepping forward and saying that's not acceptable that's illegal it's unethical and the american people here know about it the world needs to know about it and so people will go for not going to stop this it's these leaks from coming who would like. and while the f.b.i. is building the case against snowden after the leak of america's secret surveillance program more significant revelations are yet to be published. in march we'll be breaking the set next hour that will be at eight thirty g.m.t. i shall take a look at just how the intelligence agencies have been trying to get away with both take a trip down memory lane the most exactly one year ago that's about the time that senators ron wyden and mark udall two members of the intelligence oversight committee asked the n.s.a. a simple question just how many people in the u.s. are being spied on pretty straightforward question marion a straightforward answer right oh not to the n.s.a.

which replied by saying that revealing that information would quote violate the privacy of u.s. persons yup apparently it be a violation of your privacy to know that you're being spied on is that not the most or well ian thing you've ever heard of well when the news came out i remember joking that the n.s.a. probably didn't want to release that information because the real answer would have been everybody fast forward to today but you know what the joke's on me because the n.s.a. is in fact spying on every person by phone and internet according to whistleblower edward snowden. and as revelations about the n.s.a. surveillance program continue to cause ripples now american tech giants facebook and google want the right to reveal just what the government's being demanding of us just a click away right now for this hour of dot com also for you online for now of

who's next to enter the ranks of nuclear weapon states about the netherlands a leak reports say the country is still storing twenty two nuclear weapons from the u.s. hidden somewhere deep underground you can find out much more what else is hidden but at the surface you talk. but. now police in turkey clashed with protesters overnight after storming taksim square in istanbul and the biggest crackdown since the protests began almost two weeks ago by security forces used tear gas water cannons rubber bullets and a massive show of force that stirred up more tension and a fourth fatality has now been confirmed or the turkish prime minister warned that he will not back down and show quote any more tolerance artie's alexandra reports from istanbul. hundreds of policemen clashed with protesters on the square where the security process. as a result how would he was attracted by the tear gas applied by the police here on

the tax where the epicenter of protests against the prime minister. came from thousands of people the demonstrators responded they were firing stones and bottles earlier our cameraman cameraman was hit by smoke grenades as police used what it can be an advanced across the square according to the authorities the main goal of the police actions was to clear barricades and opposition banners from the square and from the building that was sound turned and became the main. opposition moments before the police advance policemen were confronted by the demonstrators who were calling them to leave the square protests began two weeks ago. in the square which needs turn ask collated international white anti-government protests type air to ground in its turn that. word of the demonstrators and urged the protesters to leave the square saying that he will meet those

legitimate demands on wednesday. and that we've been following the events since the beginning of the protests. international. along with other demonstrators when they were caught up in the violence. you can find out the latest developments of the online right now. and protesters in tokyo crying out against the brutal tactics of the police handling of the unrest when it was claimed security forces showed. up taking to the streets this video here posted on the internet a man as you can see there in a wheelchair you can be seen being targeted right with the water of the footage already. among the pro. pastors on twitter meanwhile the prime minister's been pointing the finger over the cause of the protests of the one blaming social media and an international conspiracy against. professor sign bactrian from the middle

east technical university in ankara he thinks more unrest would only split the country for. it is the. uprising against the enrollment or intervention of tradition prime ministers in the life of citizens from the right of speech to drink of alcohol or any other for things i think the turkey is experiencing now new trouble than five would call it in portugal terms and the government is responsible to get out from this conflict but not to organize. big demonstrations like which is set for the recount on saturday and sunday i think it is the wrong move of the government to bring one side of the society against the other side of the society it can only lead in the long ground

to feasible. thanks for joining us here on r t today over a thousand police were deployed in london to crack down on and t. g. eight protesters this ahead of next week's global summit in northern ireland to choose days so called carnival against capitalism ended in scuffles and at least fifty seven arrests after a three hour standoff police force their way into the building where the protesters were squatting one of the activists arrested on the roof was ended up being injured hundreds of anticapitalist protesters took to the streets to march on their target sites of businesses in central london which they call the world's most brutal and polluting companies on tuesday was the first day in a week of anti g eight protests planned by the activists here at r.t.

we took the time to speak with one of the organizers people's message is that you know we want some of our real democracy back there seems to be a corporate takeover of democracy there's another name for the fascism we're very unhappy about the removal of our right to protest about rights to a fair trial a lot of different things of you know the new scoring or the bringing in you know there is there's a lot of things in this country people are very unhappy about that these you know major groups are are trying to you know subvert democracy basically and we need to have more transparent government we need you know to look at the whole situation the whole austerity law that's been pumped out on us it's not actually recession this is a robbery we have you know central banks and economies into boom and bust and people knowing about this behind the scenes you know they are actually role being a lot of our public services and putting them into their private hands at the

moment we're not being listened to in this country is that the people here. and shifting gears and turning our attention to greece with the main t.v. and radio channels that have been taken off the air after the government decided that ultimately they would suspend all state run broadcasts all twenty five hundred employees have now lost their jobs although authorities slam the company as quote a haven of waste and large crowds joined in a protest against the decision which is the latest in a cost cutting drive as athens struggles to appease international lenders upon an officer terrace a social and political expert from the university of the a.g.n. he says it's not just about the economy anymore. carry into the lunch we are witnessing is a very hard to read. from the part of the greek government the decision to. hold a network the greek public broadcasting system is an example. from the

founding of the greek government comply to the demands of the european union i am a us and is simply troika it's not just a question of a stare at me it's not just a question of recession it is also a question of democracy. setting down in the name of a star at the well hold public broadcasting network. is it is a heavy blow to democracy. and while the eurozone is struggling to eke out some growth the developing economies have been showing some rather impressive performances with the so-called emerging markets accounting now for over a half of the world's g.d.p. and outgrowing the developed countries we've got a lot of analysis on that just around the corner here on the program. also the hidden dangers of justice system reform in the united kingdom we look at plans to recruit private companies to supervise offenders released back into the community.

we speak your language. news programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you breaking news

a little turn to angle stories. so you hear. the spanish find out more visit. thanks for joining us here on our t.v. shortly peter lavelle on cross talk for now though the u.k. government under fire for its probation reform many wired it's taking risks with public safety and critics are urging the authorities to abandon plans to dismantle private trusts which supervised people released from jail and instead hand over the job to private companies the explanation correspondent sara. the rehabilitation revolution that's what the coalition governments promised and in a bid to cut re-offending rates the government's now planning to turn to private

companies like us with plans to outsource a large chunk of the service by twenty fifteen that might come as a surprise to some given the less than gold standard performance of g four s. last summer's olympics when they failed to deliver on promises to curiosity and the plans have been met with fierce opposition from across the public sector with many warnings that far from a revolution disaster waiting to happen and we're extremely concerned about proposals to trust the secretary's proposals to privatise two thirds of the workforce two thirds of the work load put in the hands of untrained private sector providers the proposals will leave the public probation service with around fifty thousand of the offenders he pays the greatest risk with private and voluntary services looking after the rest consort here will be the contracts on a payment by results basis the fear is that placing this vital parts of the

criminal justice system into the hands of private companies could be causing community risk. there is a risk because although we have a number of prisoners who will never be the vast majority of prisoners will be walking out of those gates behind and coming to. many of the low to medium risk offenders go on to commit much more serious crimes the so-called revolving door of every offending and he's just finished his second stint here. just three months after his release from prison the first time he found himself right back inside. because he said you've been on probation before an event she then gone back inside the prison what went wrong and what happened. they were trying to frame me employment right now trying to get on a train scheme every classroom but they're waiting funding from the government like prince charles stross and so forth now that took time to law isn't it between to

trust and then to analyze and to do and two three months why didn't i was i was i wasn't moving anywhere at the time was all over the place. like a painting trying to survive this really offending cycle the government's trying to break and they say that payment by results well innovate the system the question is the way he carries the risk if things don't work out at the end of the day those product companies are going to be accountable to shareholders not to the public and their losses will be split in fact it will be to the full interview. if not. to the shareholders the plans of all so you can tease many in the public probation sector which won the t. thousand and eleven pushes quality foundation gold medal the excellence was one sentence public private good. at the end of the day i still appalled the idea that

anybody makes any profits out of the suffering of other people in the criminal justice system but that sort of trade where we have to the government insists the plants are an evolution of the justice system that these on the front line a warning that this bit to cut costs can't come as a very high price so. the london let's get some other international headlines in brief world update time now starting with afghanistan where at least seventeen people were killed around forty one year after a suicide bomber attacked the supreme court star people of afghanistan women and children are said to be among the victims a taliban quick to claim responsibility saying it was targeting judges who are western powers in the blast which is the deadliest in kabul. since the end of two thousand and eleven when hoff just steps away from the u.s. embassy. at least four fast growing wildfires are broken out in a heavily wooded area in the northeast of colorado springs in america dozens of

homes have been damaged thousands evacuated and made strong winds and record breaking temperatures firefighters are working at the scene trying to bring the flames under control with helicopters at this point no reports of injuries. now as iranians are preparing to choose their new president on friday world powers are waiting for signs of a thaw in talks over to iran's disputed nuclear program while the u.s. and e.u. suspected same building atomic weapons iran has always insisted it's purely peaceful now the russian president vladimir putin he told us here at r.t. that he has no doubt that iran is that hearing international committee the issue itself is complicated but not for russia russia has delivered on all of its international. commitments you know that russia has constructed the.

nuclear power plants we have delivered on all of our terms and conditions and we are willing to go on. the insist on enriching themselves within the international mandate we don't see anything wrong with that as long as the keep in line with international law should be entitled to. their program and that was just a sneak peek of president putin's exclusive interview to us here at r.t. you can catch the entire discussion today at ten thirty g m c. for now while the financial doldrums have been rocking the global economy it seems it's not all doom and gloom for everybody for the first time since the industrial revolution of the eighteen hundreds the developing countries have surpassed the developed ones signaling big changes in the global economic landscape sees a business present ok.d.

pilgrim offers some insight. developing countries now account for overhaul of the world's economy and with this growth comes power so we should nations are we talking about that well if we look at this map we can see that the developing world is overtaking the developed world and if we wind the clock back we can see that back in one thousand nine hundred eighty two the developed world account of the sixty nine percent of the world economy while the developing world took up just. false forward more than thirty years the a mugging economies will make up nearly three quarters of the world economy by twenty seven taking so is this economic shift changing the balance of power i asked legendary investor to roger's exactly that. we're already seeing it it's not just the faster the world economy it's creditor nation or the new nation well historically people like great britain america finance developing nations so that

they could grow but now it's the developing nations which have the money to develop don't know if you've been asia you've been to hong kong or singapore or career or some of the places that the standard of living and going to be much better than america right now by the j.f.k. in new york and you realize you're not third world airport by this thing you're poor born you're are going to birth were born it's already happening. so from the sounds of it these so-called developing countries don't need to develop anymore maybe it's the countries which have held the post strings to so long who could now do with a little maintenance. or before we get to cross talk for now often caught up in tension in the middle east israel frequently finds itself under fire both critically and literally and it is that physical threat that it's now being claimed that people are unprepared for as ati's polis unable points. israel is the most

fertile and country in the world with about fifty to thanks to this thousands of rockets. into israel and this is the reason why we have to be prepared but if the bombs start falling the only thing menachem penske can do is pray because like other orthodox jews this father of two is bristling with anger he's had to choose potentially save his life with a government supplied gas mask or keep it off and rely on prayer as things stand he can't do both a cannot cut off my beard to fill the gas market and what it is it's a beard is part of being a jew growing a beard falls under respect of human life unfortunately and i should not be forced to remove it in time just because the gas mask the government gives doesn't fit either of the cultural but even if you are clean shaven israeli only slightly more than half the population has a gas mask and if that's not indication enough recent drills organized by the home

front were ignored by most people around the television residence and most people here will tell you that in times of war they know that miss grant the gas mask if they have one and one interesting case but what happens after that no one seems to have a clue no one is olbermann is typical she lives on the second floor of an apartment block with no shelter or any idea of where to find one i think i was supposed to go to the stairs or something. don't really know i have my get my guess mess. and i'm supposed to have it somewhere but they don't really take it it's not as if the powers that be are unaware of the threats a record number of exhibitors converged on television recently hosting the largest offensive expose the country seen in years a wake up call that citizens need to be protected or an heir to. the priorities. and their priorities because of this it's never enough.

a lot of your blood would. but that's still no excuse complain residents of the streets village not far from these radio lebanese border forty percent of israel's arab population are without shelter and when dozens of his bill missiles rained down here during the last lebanon war there was only one public shelter to protect five thousand people. without a doubt the state is the only responsible and guilty party in the past people were caught in the line of fire like slaves as targets for the others today this is the situation for out of citizens who live in israel's north we're human shields in the face of any intensive rocket fire on the country which just goes to show that behind the glass of israel's well polished military facade is a population dangerously exposed to. tel aviv. to flare on ot say it's a pedophile is guests on cross talk just about. mission
