i run over there oh yeah. i. cia whistleblower edward snowden vanished to fight extradition from hong kong in his first interview since being forced into hiding for lifting the lid on a massive secret u.s. surveillance program. protesters pull back into east taxing square yes again despite twenty four hours of the most brutal crackdown by turkish police so far. that britain shuts down his main t.v. am radio broadcaster is part of a cost cutting drive the thousands who were sacked have labeled this a blow to democracy.

where they welcome you watching r.t. coming to you live from moscow. our top story in his first interview since disappearing in hong kong edward snowden has found to fight any extradition attempt the former cia worker who told the world about a huge secret u.s. surveillance program was speaking to a local newspaper from an unknown location u.s. lawmakers meanwhile are compiling a list of charges against him snowden admitted he gave his family and a six figure salary to expose what the national security agency was doing stephen m. cone executive director of the national whistleblower center told my colleague matt traces that people will continue to expose secrets regardless of the crackdown against them while i think the government is going to charge him. backed and they're going to try to make an example so others who have information about wrongdoing and crimes in our national security system are intimidated and

don't blow the whistle setter julian assange also weighed in on this a he said stone is likely to be persecuted by the u.s. for many years adding to what you say your fears are let's take a listen to his comments before you respond to an amazing time. just three years after the united bradley manning revelations with bradley manning in trial and the snowden revelations come out. and i mean you know who's had called for exactly such relations to expose the surveillance state so i think we're winning i think that's part of a new international politics that is developing. do you think there is any kind of like any kind of victory to be made from any of this or do you think that it's more of a hinderance that this war to a chilling effect on whistle blowing i think short term there may be a chilling effect but at some point the american people need to stand up and say

that whistleblowers need protection at the american people have a right to know if their government is committing crimes if their governments are violating the constitution if their leaders have perjured themselves to congress all of these are implicated in this case the american people have a right to know and our civil servants paid by our tax dollars have a right to blow the whistle and that's a right that we have to fight for and protect and i hope that a case like this helps to mobilize support for the change we need here in the united states. well among snowden's revelations other details of the program called prism which allows u.s. security officials to see the private data of virtually anyone and leaked documents suggest washington's been keeping a close and secret on europe too especially on germany let's see what kind of

reaction that has received many german officials were outraged by the spy program some even compared it to the notorious ministry for state security in communist era east germany the head of the italian data protection authority accused washington of snooping on innocent europeans without any evidence a crime has been committed and a french socialist euro m.p. highlighted that americans have had begun spying on europeans before getting permission. well one unintended consequence of the american surveillance scandal is a coupe in people buying george orwell's dystopian classic nine hundred eighty four souls of the novel about the reach of big brother of the big brother state are up seven thousand percent according to read the full story along with the other latest updates on the n.s.a. . cold. protesters have returned to tax him square with the unrest in two key showing no signs of dying

down these are live pictures streaming from right now on monday demonstrators suffered what they say was the biggest police crackdown since anti-government rallies began almost two weeks ago police still seems square overnight releasing tear gas and firing rubber bullets against protesters. has the latest there's really heavy police presence here police trucks are actually were kind of blocking some of the square as well but this of course all of this comes just twenty four hours after the square has seen an immense police presence here first the protesters who are camped out here for just a little over a week they were swept away by water cannons and tear gas in the early hours of the morning our crew went out to film it one of or. one of our cameraman actually sustained serious damage to his camera because it was broken by a. tear gas canister which flew right into it

a good thing that didn't obviously hit his head but it was really close i gather probably spirit no one people in wheelchairs the elderly women children owners a lot of those people that i've seen with my own eyes that were there first people came back people wanted people were outraged by the fact that there was such an immense police presence and gathered against a much more violence so they came back out on taxi square to be dispersed by police yet again later in the evening on tuesday again we do know at this point that there has been one confirmed death as a result of the clashes. the police and the protesters and you think it's over while it isn't yet because some of the protesters that i've spoken to say they're going to continue to come here they're still protesters that's over and guess the park and that's where it all began they were promised the police wouldn't touch them that gezi park would be left to the protest movement but that doesn't seem to be true because they are saying that police did come there yesterday and again when after they were done clearing people from taksim square they went against park and

tried to the protesters from there we know that some tents have been knocked down and the press and the people who are in this movement they're saying we're going to come back again considering the fact that there are like i said there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of police on every single corner a new call this where we can expect some really interesting action maybe later today maybe some are but the stephan like not over. or professor who bag chief from the middle east technical university nine career thinks the government's reaction only divides the country further. but is the. uprising against the enroll man or intervention of turkish prime ministers in the life of citizens from the right to offer a speech to drink of alcohol or another thing for i think the turkey is experiencing now a new trouble and five of quality unportable terms the government is responsible to get out from the sponsor big but not to organize. big demonstrations like

which is set up 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 four side we can only live in the long grass to free will. have been following events in tikki since the beginning of the protests initiated artesian into international crew was tear gassed along with other demonstrators when they were caught up in a violent clampdown you can find out the latest developments on line at r.t. dot com. greece's main t.v. and radio channels have been pulled off air after the government decided to suspend all state run broadcast to cut budget costs all two and

moment we're not being listened to in this country is that the people they're here . well with many of the world's leading financial states deeply submerged in debt developing economies auto taking center stage signaling big changes in the world of finance artie's business presenting katie pilbeam looks at how emerging markets as a parting developed nations are 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 call 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 while in 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 fires of the world economy it's creditor nation hardly you know nations as well historically people like great britain america finance developing nations those 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 places the much better than america right now lot of j.f.k. in new york and you realize you're in a third world airport but is that your were born your 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 any mole maybe it's the countries which have held the post strings to so long who could now a day with

a little maintenance. on r.t. dot com right now is the u.k.'s financial woes continue a new report says the past five years brought unprecedented pay cuts to british workers on the daily life of brits under financial pressure is available online also there you will find with the grandson of a hunger strike still on the u.s. government is scaling back its prosecution of the camp's captives saying there's not enough evidence to bring the men to court the full time line of the story and much much more is available on our website. thousands of opposition activists have hit the central streets of moscow and what they call a march against executioners the rally was aimed at supporting those on trial over mass disorder and violence against police arrested following protests which and even clashes last may on the eve of president putin swearing in ceremony police say six thousand people took part in a protest march while the opposition insists there were up to twenty thousand and

nine people were arrested before the march began after they refused police demands to roll up the ban is of the left front organization which has recently been declared illegal. offenders on probation in the u.k. could soon be placed under the supervision of private companies in this r.t. sarah further explained that's led to that's led some to accuse the government of putting cost cutting head of public safety 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 as of g four s. last summer's olympics when they failed to deliver on promises to curate and the plans have been met with this opposition from across the public sector but many warnings that far from the revolution is disaster waiting to happen and we're extremely concerned about gratings proposals to trust the secretary's proposals to

. 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 defenders he pays the greatest risk with private and voluntary services looking after the rest can sort here will be the contracts or the payment by results basis the fair is that placing this vital parts of the criminal justice system into the hands of private companies could be putting community at risk but 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 and coming to. you many of the low to medium risk offenders go on to commit much more serious crimes the so-called revolving door of re-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 the system what happens today we're trying to put in the right now trying to get on a train scheme. and funding from the government here like prince charles stross and so forth now time to. and then to analyze into order 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. trying to survive this really ascending cycle the government's trying to break and they say that payment by results will innovates 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 there will be no loyalty to the pope that will be proud of 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 push quality foundation gold medal the excellent was one sentence public bought private good. at the end of the day i still a poor the idea that anybody makes any profits out of the suffering of of the people of the criminal justice system but that sort of trade where we have to bow to the government insists the plant or an evolution of the justice system the days on the front line a warning that this bit to cut costs can't come as a very high price so on the london. and other news activists in syria say rebels have attacked a village in the east of the country killing more than sixty people the violence is

seen as retaliation for nearly attacked by earlier attacked by villages it comes after government trade three took control of the northern town of qusayr last week with their sights nicette on recapturing aleppo recent army gains have alerted the west with france and america are now seriously mulling over the idea of sending lethal weapons to the opposition the arms and embargo on syria was lifted last month while efforts to push both sides to peace talks continue to stall political analyst and. a calf thinks the rebels have no interest in negotiations. weakening the rebels on the ground may actually be a positive thing in any political dialogue or a new political negotiations because those people have the power to stifle or kill any political process to their aura of invisibility should be reduced it could be it for the political representatives of the opposition to have

any meaningful say in a negotiation table and actually being able to keep their words afterwards but as long as there are promises of weaponry and support towards those rebels on the ground without that they won't go to the table of the more told in fact with the ideology behind what they're been doing since the very beginning especially. affiliated groups they are not interested in negotiating with the regime anymore or the syrian government at all they see it as an infidel regime that must be toppled no matter what. now some other stories from around the world a motorbike bomb in a restive part of southern afghanistan killed two people injured fifteen when it exploded in a marketplace it comes less than twenty four hours after another suicide explosion took the lives of seventeen people at the supreme court in the capital kabul recent weeks there has been

a wave of attacks by taliban forces and other militants against afghan security forces pushing violence to return of year high. french air traffic controllers are in their second day of strike action causing over one thousand eight hundred flight cancellations workers opposed to e.u. plans to centralize european airspace rather than leave each nation to control its own skies also railway workers are expected to walk out on thursday leaving much of the country's transportation routes paralyzed. and with tensions high in the region israelis are used to living under the constant threat of conflict but how prepared are the people of israel should they come under attack artie's poorest investigates . israel is the most fertile and country in the ward we're talking about fifty to three extremists 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

pinsky 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 cannot cut off my beard to fit the gas mask the beard is part of being a jew growing a beard falls under respect of human life and i should not be forced to remove it in times of war just because the gas mask the government gives me doesn't fit over of that 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 they 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'm supposed to go to the stairs or something i. 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. idea for a lot of their budget they would build 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 shelters 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. nor was i to date the state is the only response to the guilty party and the people were in the line of fire like slaves as targets without being today or this is a situation for out of six that's who live in israel where human shields in the face of any intense with rocket fire other people in the country which just goes to show that behind the chaos of israel's well punished military facade as a population dangerously exposed. tel aviv. on the way the revenge of schooling to shareholders is in our prime interest tonight we talk money and emotions just come to.

good afternoon and welcome to prime interest i'm perry i'm boring in washington d.c. let's get to today's headlines. never underestimate the raft of the shareholders investors and of fannie and freddie are suing you as the government which took control of the mortgage giants in two thousand and eight and exchange for a one hundred eighty billion bailout dollars the treasury got to keep all the quarterly profits go in as well as high dividend payments alleged by the plaintiffs to be you serious so this might be the shareholders a last chance to recoup their money now the administration and visuals have talked

about winding down the mortgage giants fannie and freddie already returned a fifty nine billion dollars to the treasury after opposing profits last quarter but most of that was due to a change in tax asset classification. and said he was so again that's according to a stock analysts who estimates citi group could lose as much as seven billion dollars if the u.s. dollar appreciates against other currencies despite calls for bans on proprietary trading pursuant to. the volcker rule which i have yet to been implemented by the way about half of the banks profits come from such currency speculation and finally standard and poor's is boyish on the new ads but no one seen.
