i welcome good to have you company you're watching r.t. coming to you live from moscow. global leaders and even close allies who are all spied on by british and american intelligence according to n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden he's a new document showing that the g twenty summit in two thousand and nine was a surveillance playground with u.k. and u.s. agents attempting to bug senior figures like the russian president at the time dmitri medvedev let's bring in our piece going off now because he knows more about this story. the timing of this expose is not a coincidence is it that is. i'm are also hearing about this story exactly it's really hard to underestimate the significance of the timing of this report since. the new. the latest wall is just about to start again in the united kingdom in great britain and well obviously this is going to create a. additional tension and some questions will have to be answered this happened at

the summit back in two thousand and nine there we can see the pictures of the leaders going for the photo op and well according to the we who are that former cia agent the delegations from at least three countries that we could see the leaders of these countries on screen now including president of russia dmitry medvedev. allegedly under the full surveillance package of their forms were listened to even connections between occasions going through embassies e-mails basically for what. it is blanket surveillance isn't it that's how broad it was i mean there was no escaping it even a fake internet cafe i mean it is extraordinary that. it's extraordinary the technologies would surely be used i guess could be seen in.

fiction movies and blockbuster hits because well according to these reports the national security agency in the u.s. and its great britain the did build these internet cafes for the delegates to use where the computers world video allegedly tapped so that the data from them and from the phone conversations and from the those who used to blackberries e-mails according to the support this data was sent to the security agencies almost in real life time so that it could then be used during the negotiations during the actual summit so that's another other kind of point and this also brings us to the question we're talking about the leaders of the g. eight. which are reportedly under this massive of surveillance. brings us to

ordinary citizens including british ones. what's the story about that was the level of surveillance that they are under. people arriving now they're already settled there they must be feeling very uncomfortable knowing about this story i mean if if if if they are making a phone call or are using the you know the internet facilities or whatever presumably they'll be a second thought in their mind is this being listen to. this report definitely where you will definitely create some interesting conversations between the delegations well this also brings us to future meetings between world leaders future summits there's an upcoming meeting between the president of the us and the german leader this could backfire in the future and everybody me just start surveilling each other. well this will definitely do great deals for trust between world powers and also well barack obama is there now and we're going to put

in the. british prime minister and while this is also going to be an interesting meeting between them in the wake of this latest news it is a fascinating story thank you very much igor for bringing us up to date on r.t. . or commenting on the g twenty surveillance operation r.t. contributor actually returns he said he wasn't surprised adding that britain has served as a surveillance platform for the u.s. for decades. i think that kind of blanket surveillance we're talking about fake internet cafe's are the jewelry being set up blackberries routinely monitored that surveillance is being used and of course with their on the rage and presuming they were trying to make those talks amenable to washington and british interests these kinds of revelations show that when governments such as britain and the united states come close to worrying they will use this to try and persuade different officials of different governments to sway them for many years written

knew or some british people realized that the national security agency was basically using the united kingdom and the largest spying outfit in the united states is here in britain but who runs the spying who or where is the sovereignty and perhaps british people will realise that they are living in a state where their media and all institutions surrounding them all industrial aspects to civic society are under a kind of surveillance state that is not being covered in the news the problem is the mainstream media will try and prove this and say everyone knows this ever and if everyone knew this and if all world leaders and all delegates at that summit in twenty nine know that they are being surveilled then why do the british or american authorities do this here in london. and america's spy site six face severe scrutiny at home later this hour we reported on a raft of lawsuits against the government and why despite widespread criticism and

anger it is being backed by u.s. corporations. around is reportedly gearing up to send thousands of troops to syria to beef up government forces against the rebels it is or it also went as far as proposing a new military frontier in the israeli occupied golan heights and coupled with american intentions to arm the syrian opposition israelis living in the area fear they are in for some big trouble reports iran it just got that much closer amid reports that tehran is sending some four thousand a rainy and revolutionary guard to help the syrian president bashar assad israelis living here in the golan heights are worried because now for the first time at least officially iran is on the border there in you want war. in reunion warn the finisher. we do it.

like through you. this is an israeli bunker on the israeli syrian border less than a kilometer from here is connecticut that has been the scene of fierce fighting between assad's forces and rebel fighters with the american decision recently to arm the rebels one of the groups that will be most directly affected are israelis living here in the golan heights any increase in hostilities in the area will impact on their lives you know to bring jewish. choy understand virtue. you need to fight for your place in the last few minutes i've heard three explosions the united nations chief banking moon is warning of that the ongoing military activities in this area have the potential to escalate tensions between israel and syria and jeopardize the long standing peace treaty between both countries and this is one of the questions that israelis who are asking if assad was to be overthrown would the forces that were

placed in be interested in maintaining the cease fire israel unfortunately seeing. arms and weapons that are going to be used against in as a threat from iran. in this board needs to be friendly with these functions have been here for years but for decades there's been a sense of tranquility and predictability now all of that in situ change with america's decision to arm the rebels. probably it's good for them and it's good for america otherwise they wouldn't do it it's for the purpose of helping themselves and it's not about if it's good for israel or not there is fear we are afraid the rockets will hit us and it's already happened this is a fight that attracts tourists but many fear it will soon attract soldiers and become active once again paul if there are teeth on the israeli syrian border. well

syrian troops have been advancing in recent weeks while the leader of the opposition's free syrian army says it's in urgent need of weapons so let's have a closer look at the balance of power at this stage amid reports that iranian squads could join president assad's forces it's lebanon's hezbollah which openly admits being gauged on the government's side the rebels are being backed by al-qaeda linked jihadist searches the al nusra front as well as possibly mercenaries from the gulf states the opposition enjoys widespread diplomatic support in the west and the prospects of lethal arms supplies from the u.s. and some european allies despite warnings of dire consequences. even the most optimistic analysis of the rebels would have to admit there are a variety of people not only fighting assad but fighting each other but the whole idea that we can be confident that we supply even if we give them to people we train will stay in those homes of those homes will turn against ours seems to be in

practice our trade the risk that the sort of people who would actually bring use these weapons may initially be probably against assad but we've seen from afghanistan over the last thirty years to the present day we can do from a chaos in libya were american diplomats have been killed british terror it's a very long war to think we really do control these people on the ground. and the looming escalation of the conflict in syria has grabbed the attention of world leaders gathering for the g. eight summit in northern ireland after the u.s. approved arms supplies to the rebels the question is whether its european allies will follow suit artie's party boy k. now looks at what's at stake at the high level gathering. as host david cameron had planned to discuss issues such as global tax avoidance and sustainable economic growth but it looks like rising tensions over the escalating crisis in syria are going to eclipse that formal and gender are going to be dominating the talks last

week the usa france and the u.k. claimed that the syrian government had used chemical weapons in the usa has now pledged military support to the syrian opposition the u.k. hasn't gone that far yet but speaking off the talks with blood admit putin in downing street yesterday prime minister david cameron reiterated his schools for bashar al assad to step down and said that the u.k. would be continuing to provide normally so late and training to moderate elements of the syrian opposition now the russian government has questioned claims that the syrian government has used chemical weapons and vladimir putin yesterday spoke about how dangerous he thinks it might be so on the syrian opposition at the same time both leaders have stressed that they have a common goal and that is a diplomatic and peaceful resolution to the syrian crisis they say that they're going to push g. eight leaders at the summit to try an edge closer towards organizing

a peace summit for both sides of the syrian conflict in order to get them around the negotiating table to hammer out a pause to peace but the anti's opt so much over the past week it looks like it's going to be tough talking in northern ireland the summit is going to be held at the very remote. goal for where a fifteen million pound ring of steel has been a wreck to in order to god against protesters and to provide security for the likes of us president barack obama russian president vladimir putin and on the various david cameron now extra police have also been drafted in from the u.k. mainland to help bolster security that this is one of the biggest security operations that northern ireland has ever seen. and outside that exclusion zone surrounding the g eight summit some familiar faces have loomed large these protesters who don't join had masks outside belfast city hall called on the world's

richest nations to address global hunger and poverty for them it's the world's poorest countries and desperately need needs attention and artie's katie pilbeam now looks at what's cooking at the meeting and whether any wish list will get answered. the size against all still zones is excel or a say the host of the g. eight event david cameron insists it is a means of helping the poor and writing injustice then air is editor in chief of business in new york magazine if this is realistic. because it means you'd have to police the entire world think about the system is necessary international that means any country one tiny little country who chooses not to abide by this. offer is. as i say convenient services for

people trying to hide money. means that the whole thing becomes a mockery there's no way of controlling it so you can work towards it you can it will take time and probably it's a good idea but you've got several countries like cyprus obvious example but luxembourg still switzerland before who are offering these services as a business it becomes a big part of their economy and it's very difficult for a small country like some to tell them they can't do it because they have no other way of making money so it sounds like mr cameron and his fellow supporters have a tough tosca ahead convincing these tax haven countries to give up their economic mail tickets. with plenty more coming up including germany's fleeing for change the country's home grown on printers are turning their back on europe's largest economy for being hostile to healthy businesses that's coming up after this quick break.

again hong kong has launched an official investigation into the extent of the united states cyber attacks against its citizens alleged to number in the thousands in the u.s. dozens of lawsuits are being filed against the government surveillance practices they washington is trying to downplay their reach when it comes to telephone calls nobody is listening to your telephone calls. that's not what this program is about . lawmakers themselves are contradicting president obama it was earlier alleged that thousands of n.s.a. analysts could listen to any phone call without a warrant but other government sources say fisher authorized is required it's also emerged that the scope of the surveillance operation and the help it received may

have been underestimated is our washington correspondent. what edward snowden revealed could be just the tip of the iceberg we're learning that in addition to internet giants thousands of u.s. technology finance and manufacturing companies that include software and hardware producers banks internet security providers satellite telecommunications companies thousands are working closely with u.s. national security agencies according to the people familiar with the exchange the cooperation of some of the company says helped the u.s. government infiltrate computers worldwide so this certainly adds to edward snowden's account snowden said he believes that the n.s.a. has carried out more than one thousand hacking operations globally snowden said he was leasing the information to demonstrate quote the posse of the u.s. government when he claims that he does not target civilian infrastructure on like its adversaries he also said quote we hack network backbones

like huge internet routers basically that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands. of people computers without having to hack every single one in these sources who speak on the condition of anonymity say u.s. companies help intelligence agencies do exactly that and they say it's not subject to any oversight now it's all done of course on the national security but there's some very obvious discrepancies here robert muller director of the f.b.i. for example he said the massive surveillance program that the u.s. has now could have prevented nine eleven then what about the fort hood shooting in two thousand and nine the perpetrator of that one needle molly costs on had been exchanging e-mails with anwar locky for a period of time or time alonso are now i have multiple warnings over several years radical content on his you tube but web page. one may ask the question then why this massive collection of information when all of that was missed. the unwavering

support of many u.s. firms to the government surveillance program is raising questions among experts and the public having pieced together rare comments from officials on this artie's lucy catherine of explains what is in it for the firms. the story certainly raises more questions than it answers as my colleague reported earlier we know now that thousands of companies have been sharing sensitive information with the u.s. government in exchange for various benefits now this raises concerns about the extent of the private sector collaboration with the u.s. government not to mention questions about what exactly those benefits were now the details may be murky at this point but let's go over exactly what information we have companies who did hand over data to the government got a big thank you that's according to michael hayden who used to head the cia as well as the national security agency which runs of course the prism program and mr hayden told bloomberg this if i were the director and had a relationship with

a company who was doing things that were not just directed by law but were also valuable to the defense of the republic i would go out of my way to thank them and give them a sense as to why this is necessary and useful all right well what kind of thank you exactly are we talking about here well again not a lot of details but anonymous sources did tell bloomberg that leaders of the companies who handed over data to the government were showered with attention and information by government agencies in fact in some instances that meant quick warnings about the threats that could affect their bottom line for example serious internet attacks and who's behind them of course this exchange of information is supposed to be voluntary and while at this point we don't exactly have evidence that this is not the case but will most of the companies seem to have participated simply because the government asking for help one former c.e.o. paints a slightly different picture in two thousand and one when some telecom giants allegedly were asked to participate in an n.s.a.

information sharing program one company qwest initially refused to play ball in according to court documents filed by its then c.e.o. joseph nacho as a result of that decision the company was denied lucrative n.s.a. contracts he believed to be worth fifty to one hundred million dollars which allegation he says for refusing to partake in the government's spy program. so to sum it up companies that share data earned government goodwill information about threats possible classified information and of course there's concern that those who did not play along could could have been left out of lucrative government contracts course we don't have more information on this but that's person i see the point the lack of transparency about this data swap is a major concern now it's done in the name of security but at what cost and to whom this account for not reporting for our team in moscow. of the world mahmoud ahmadinejad is about to hand over the presidency you can head to r.t.
