but empathize having been through a very similar situation myself but we're trying to actively support through this interviewer and all the ways. snowden says applies wiki leaks founder julian assange praises as a hero the man who blew the whistle on the u.s. internet snooping program as he talks starting about one of the biggest leaks in history. and government unrest rages in turkey with police showing brutal force in a crackdown on activists as prime minister aired a one but is to show no mercy. stand out capitals protesters and hundreds of riot police in central london marking a week till the g. eight summit results and scuffles and arrests.

three pm in moscow i matras a good to have you with us here on r.t. our top story while the u.s. estimates the potential damage to national security from leaks about its surveillance efforts the man behind those leaks edward snowden now facing a life on the run one of the world's most prominent whistleblowers julian assange says he feels sympathetic toward snowden situation that wiki leaks founder still holed up in ecuador's london embassy and he told my colleague kevin zero one that despite a washington crackdown on leakers there is a public demand for those who revealed the truth. empathize having been through a very similar situation myself. trying to actively support through this interview or in other ways. 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 raided in holding looted by police already

starting yes he will be subject to prosecution by united states for use i'm certain of that many sources are quite scared i mean we're saying callie 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 you face. an outrageous president any. communications and 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 national security journalism united states if the president is that bush is still holed up in the ecuadorian embassy given the clampdown that might come down now what whistleblowers after what we've seen over the last couple of days what do you think

your personal chances are now walking free any time soon what keeps you going. what keeps us going is the worldwide support the pre have which is really quite extraordinary yes which she makes has a banking blockade that's cut out about ninety five percent of its finances but we have provide support so even five percent. five percent is not nothing the u.k. government has admitted to 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 the geopolitics that things are starting to change politically you know stray which means 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 there were activist kevin zeese says no amount of government pressure though can stop insiders

from exposing wrongdoing to 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. only one person who has the courage and the patriotism to step forward and tell the truth 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 who come for knocking will stop this is these leaks from coming who would like. well the f.b.i. is building its case against snowden after the leak of the u.s. secret surveillance program more significant revelations could be yet to be

published artie's abby martin will be breaking the set at twelve thirty g.m.t. looking at just how the surveillance agencies operate behind the scenes. let's take a trip down memory lane to 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 yep apparently it be a violation of your privacy to know that you're being spied on is that not the most orwellian thing you've ever heard well in 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 court in

a whistleblower edward snowden. as the revelations about the n.s.a. has mass surveillance program continue to cause ripples u.s. tech giants facebook and google want the right to reveal just what the government's been demanding just a click away at r.t. dot com also online for you next hour the ranks of nuclear weapons states could be the netherlands leaked reports say the country's still storing twenty two nukes from the u.s. some more deep underground find out much more what's below the surface of our. police in turkey clash with protesters overnight after a storming taksim square in istanbul the biggest crackdown since the unrest started almost two weeks ago security forces used tear gas water cannons and were bullets in a show of force that stirred even more tension for three tallaght he already confirmed while turkey's prime minister warned he won't back down or show any more tolerance

against turkey professor who fired to you from the middle east technical university in a hurry though thinks the unrest could only split the country further. it is the. uprising against the involvement or intervention of turkish prime ministers in the life of citizens from the right of speech to drink of alcohol and other things i think the turkey is experiencing now a new trouble and so i would call it in portugal terms and the government is responsible to get out from the sponsor big but not to organize. big demonstrations like which is set for the recount on saturday and sunday i think it is a 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 feel.

met with fierce opposition from across the public sector with many warnings that fall for the revolution disaster waiting to happen. concerned about. proposals to privatise two thirds of the workforce two thirds of the workload put in the hands of untrained private sector providers the proposals will leave the public service with around fifty thousand the offenders he pays the greatest risk with private and voluntary services looking after the rest. of 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 putting community risk. there is a risk because although we have a number of prisoners who will never be released the vast majority of prisoners will be walking out of those gates behind i'm coming to. you many of the low

it's not all doom and gloom for everyone for the first time since the industrial revolution a meeting of hundreds developing countries have surpassed some developed one signaling changes in the global economic landscape artie's business presenter katie pilbeam has the details. 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 a sixty nine percent of the world economy while the developing world took up just. false forward more than thirty years the a mugging economies that will make up nearly three quarters of the world economy by twenty seven tane so is this economic shift changing the balance of power i asked legendary investigative raja's exactly that. we're already seeing it is not just

due to the faster the world economy it's creditor nation or the nation as 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 the i don't know if you've been you've been to hong kong or singapore or careers some of the places that the standard of living in many of these places much better than america right now a lot of j.f.k. in new york and you realize you're in a third world airport but it's in your poor or in your eyes universe or airport it's already happening. so from the sounds of it these so-called developing countries don't need to develop any mole maybe it's the countries which have held the post strings to so long who could now do with a little maintenance caught up in tension in the middle east israel often finds itself under fire both critically and literally and it's

population has a gas mask and if that's not indication enough recent drills organized by the home front were ignored by most people i was part of television residents and most people here will tell you that in times of war they know the risk. 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'm supposed to go to the stairs or something. to 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 defames expose the country seen in years a wake up call that citizens need to be protected for. the. priorities. and their priorities because of this it's never enough.
