a low day watching r.t. good to have you come. now deadly riots and gulf in egypt a year on from president mohamed morsi is inauguration rival rallies by his supporters and opponents have been escalating into all out street violence over the past week three people were killed on friday including a u.s. national in alexandria washington has reacted by allowing its nonessential staff to leave the troubled country until conditions improve r.t. spell troop reports. tension is rising across the country in the lead up to the anniversary of president mohamed morsi s inauguration on sunday fierce clashes raging between supporters and opponents of egypt's president morsi in the coastal city of alexandria where u.s. citizen legislator stabbed to death we don't know yet whether this was a targeted attack on the us it is in the gyptian also succumbed to his injuries from bird shots in these and brutal civilian on civilian clashes the latest death

we had is from port sayit. during an explosion meanwhile the islamists the supporters of the president saying that he was legitimately democratically elected and that therefore he should only be removed from office in the form of an elections they have mass protest in cairo as an opposition forces gathered on the hariri mr brotherhood to really sing a lot of dissent recently there's been a number of their offices who've been torched and fire bombed by protesters who are really angry at the group egypt is witnessing a security vacuum and an increase in a violent clashes on the streets particularly during protests many citizens are reaching out to private security firms to secure their homes i spoke to some of those people affected by the ongoing violence in the shadow of the bricks in the building. is preparing for the expected violence between supporters and opponents of the egyptian president on sunday some a says he has already fortified his small

shop just of cairo as to his square with sheets of. willis that got them in my kiosk has been robbed and destroyed a few times in previous clown shoes i'm going to be keep my shop as i'm afraid of what is going to happen in the violence i don't want to lose everything. with the police taking a back seat those who can afford it are reaching out to private security firms like this one general manager a former high ranking police officer but we do what it says his come. he is preparing for the worst as protesters demand the resignation of missing brotherhood president mohamed morsi the man a they were on june thirtieth there may be violence between the opposition forces and the islamists so we're sending more people to the places were guarding them we're giving our staff and clients special training and information how they can secure their premises and how they deal with clashes. companies like b r plugging the gaps amid a deepening security crisis across the country lynchings are on the rice the latest

brutal mob killing happened just a few days ago near the capital civilians are increasingly armed and protests are becoming more violent as citizens bring guns to clashes leaving many to fear for their deaths analysts say the breakdown of security is because citizens no longer fear the police who have been accused of being reluctant to provide security they also blame the government which has failed to confront the interior ministry they are responsible for the bigger they're full of law and order if they don't take the necessary steps to fix it they may want to they may wish to but if they're not actually solving it the buck stops at their door it will find a very difficult to get the ministry of interior to reform after the police services to reform. precisely because inside the police force inside the ministry of interior there are so many people that are really quite opposed to the muslim brotherhood instead of promising change president morsi played with fire in his

wednesday speech to the nation praising the police and thanking them for their work with the violence on the horizon many will be forced to attend egypt's need thriving private security industry to protect their own homes and businesses true to our. well president morsi enjoys strong support from the united states and has no intention of giving in to the opposition that is according to political analyst and author william and. this is like a festering boil that's that's been boiling as long as morsi has shown that he's done nothing to improve the fundamentals of the economy and the economy has he generated the youth unemployment bulges explosion and that i think is a lot of the tender box that you seen on the streets right now he's trying to ram a sharia constitution down down the throats of the gyptian people and that goes against egyptian cultural tradition ninety or eighty percent of the population are sunni muslim the other thing is the military hasn't yet we didn't as to whether

they continue to back morsi as they have done under washington enormous washington pressure so i think this is to make and break situation the obama administration continues to back the muslim brotherhood which is a very unfortunate thing but that's part of a larger geopolitical genet that washington and the state department have built up with morsi has already indicated he's going to take a year to one kind of brute force state power reaction to try to terrorize the opposition and do the disbanding but that's not going to work at this point and as more demonstrations and more chaos our nans for the upcoming days any. is always on alert to bring you the latest developments on that and of course online at out say they'll come. what happened to the arab spring dream does egypt's first freely elected president bring any change fear poverty economic failure and violence

remain due to egypt's attempts to escape chaos leave it while we even deeper. egypt a year in chaos. now the american government is reportedly targeting a retired army general accused of spilling classified information about a covert cyber attack james cartwright was once the second highest ranking officer in the u.s. military he's now suspected of revealing details on the stuxnet virus that temporarily shut down iran's nuclear sites three years ago. as the details in two thousand and ten when the u.s. carried out this cyber attack against iran general cartwright was vice chairman. and he was reported to be one of the crucial players in this cyber attack he resigned in two thousand and eleven and he is now apparently being investigated as the niekerk of that story as you remember the niek about the obama administration having carried out this cyber attack against iran came before the election last year and the timing raise

a lot of questions back then because president obama all but bragged about that operation as he ran for reelection as you remember everybody kind of assumed that it was one of those authorized leaks because the administration information all the time to further its own goals but the timing of this particular about the general being investigated is also very interesting he hasn't been charged with any crimes and yet again from an unnamed source that he's being investigated and this is happening at a time when the hunt for edward snowden is in full swing is the administration trying to make a point here trying to sort of say that they're targeting even the sources of those leaks that they liked it really is not clear at this point not clear whether it's their way of trying to fight the perception that the administration gets all the wants and targets only those who's the bears the government. well also you caught up with former pentagon official mark aloof to get his view on the stoics

net probe and he thinks the case has become a source of embarrassment for washington. i don't buy into the argument that it was a planned leak by the administration to lead us to let the world know that we had stocks in it i think from the us perspective it probably was a very serious it was very serious damage although it was almost an open secret that stuxnet came from the israelis in the united states but having someone actually had it in a high position may. confirm that i think just reinforces the fact that the united states itself is engaged in cyber warfare. and it really has very little room to complain about other countries that are engaged in cyber warfare the united states was caught involved in in cyber warfare at a time when it too is a gate when it's when it's complained about others hacking into into u.s. systems. meanwhile the father of the fugitive whistleblower edward snowden has set out the terms under which he thinks his son would voluntarily come back to the us

firstly he should not be detained or imprisoned before trial secondly he should not be subject to a gagging order and should be tried in a location of his choosing that's according to a letter from snowden sr released to the media well all of this comes as the thirty year old ex cia employee remain stuck in diplomatic limbo in the transit zone of moscow's sheremetyevo airport so let's take a look at where snowden could potentially be heading next will cuba appears to be a tricky option at the moment the u.s. state department said back in two thousand and six that have had promised to stop accepting u.s. fugitives iceland has held informal talks on whether to grant snowden asylum and wiki leaks affiliates are now awaiting comment from the interior ministry there venezuela says it would be likely to grant the whistleblower refuge with president nicolas maduro of porting the man's bravery and another south american destination

ecuador looks promising but that country cannot yet grant him asylum because he's not on ecuadorian soil whistleblower's plight has captivated the global media but investigative journalist duncan campbell says the real story is being sidelined. a lot depends on on russia but i think the russian game will be a speech to stand back and use an international territory we can do nothing and wait for other players to act but i do think that the focus is wrong because all of this distraction about snowden and where the years and what he might do nags i was completely undermined be tremendous gravity of the successive documents and revelations that he's made about the scope of american and allied spying on the civil and commercial affairs of the world i think many americans recognize the true values for which their forefathers fought from the war of independence on which

would see snowden a real hero but that is never going to be reflected in. demographics when the price is so tainted disgracefully so silent and simply reporting what he's got to say if there was a dissident in russia or china or the middle east speaking out in the way that snowden is doing it would have massive coverage that's not happening now in another development to the story the u.s. army has restricted access to the guardian's newspaper's website for thousands of defense personnel across the country the move against the british daily comes after its revelations that the n.s.a. spying activities r.t. serafin has more. this is a nation is regarding reports in the us media the us military sense of the message to them that they have been filtering content regarding government surveillance programs and this came on the back of reports about complaints from a u.s.

base in san francisco that a star that one table to access any of the u.k. guardian websites and only partial access to the us guardian website they said it seems that this is to do with something called network hygiene now this is preserving their system from any threat externally or internally and i spoke to the anybody press office here in the u.k. and asked them if anything similar was of course being done with the british military and they told me that this wasn't happening what was being done in the u.s. right now oh it wasn't happening here although they did say that in relation to their computer systems in the military there is some information that is sometimes restricted for security purposes it is raising questions about that suppression of information and to talk more about that i'm joined by chris flowerless for they take this thank you very much for joining us and i think the first question to our skids these classified documents that have been released by whistleblower and of

course in a very similar way to what we saw with wiki leaks although there's been this public release the still classified documents say i mean the u.s. military justified in you know preserving the system in this way it's nothing to do with network hygiene it is straight attempts to suppress and to control what is being read and understood by in this case the soldiers the other side of the coin is the american governments and the british government are looking at all the internet or the mobile appliances or the landline phones of you me american citizens british citizens and every single thing this program so it's a little side ridiculous. because those soldiers can actually get hold of that information all three have little things in computer access health problems but it's part of an overall increasing encroachment on free speech and access to information the department of defense actually said in their response that that not

going to block websites from the american public in general and that would violate they said the hired help principle of holding in defending the constitution's they've made it clear this is just not in the u.s. just lying when they talk about democracy they are places in the head choppers when they talk about free speech they are shutting down as many things as they do you have no reason to believe one single thing that the american government says the bottom right of all of this to control the information and they normally do it by omission in the american channels not so much they lie they just don't tell the truth and i we're going to take a quick break but when we come back. how rowing footage surfaces on the web believed to show you syrian rebels decapitating supporters of president assad this just days after the u.s. reportedly started the insurgency. plus while the mass hunger strike in guantanamo

bay continues the camp's authorities are coming under fire from the u.s. military for failing to prevent the suicide of a detainee. you know sometimes you see a story. and it seems so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

welcome back now i gem and state t.v. channel is facing some awkward questions after it emerged it may have paid guests he sums of money to portray russia in a bad light one of five celebrities that took part in a talk show about the trial of the notorious punk band pussy riot admitted to receiving a substantial face peter all of that as they tell us more than a year after their trial and conviction pussy riot saw still making headlines the

local actress on a tile black suggested she was chased by a state broadcaster to talk about the trial and have received money from ted f. to give opinion on the program as best they pay money for this i cannot tell you how much money a lot of money is talbot who is one of five celebrities who took part in a discussion show about the trial of the punk collective who were jailed for hooliganism motivated by religious hatred in response to questions from money well oxen right herbs the worst magazine the i.d.f. issued this statement for our distressed this was not the case and her expression was of a satirical nature for all talbot is extremely sorry that her satirical remarks were misunderstood and she asks forgiveness for causing this situation they gave the impression all those five if the impression that russia is so harsh dictatorship punishing innocent girls for a little artistic action this was the right coverage choice not to repress scenting

at all of the opinion in the german people the i.d.f. is among a group of media outlets that receives their funding from the german license fee with each household expected to contribute around eighteen months the fact that the german state t.v. shows five celebrities sharing the same opinion on the pussy riot trial and on the pussy riot case is giving a very wrong. because this gives the impression that we all are thinking the same if a group like pussy riot would try to do the same thing somewhere in a catholic church and germany i think they could be happy to be caught by the police and not to be caught by the audience in the church the main cathedral in cologne saw its own pussy riot demonstration the judge eventually issued stiff fines to two of the german participants all the hearing of the third is being despond all without. incident.

despite denials of any wrongdoing from the. questions being raised over the objectivity of german state media feature all of a r.t. . of course we've got updates nor lost stories at our website at our home and also there right now when it comes to the palestinian territories mcdonald's is not loving it the fast food giant has refused to build an outlet in the west bank you can find out why online plus the final frontier now says boy just spacecraft and has an unexplored side. follow that. dot com. speak to language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here. in the world talks about six of the yard p. interviews intriguing stories for you.

for a visit. a new video of a beheading allegedly carried by syrian rebel fighters has caused outrage on the internet has the details and i have to warn you you may find the images we're back to show you distressing. plus disturbing and brutal footage has appeared online and what you see is a group of men with what looks to be a kitchen knife in their hands decapitating one by one three men on the ground it's all happening on a small hill and in the distance there is a group of women and children looking on all of this is happening to the cries of akbar god is great to be three men purported to be supporters of the syrian president bashar assad now at the same time the video appears under the heading of free syrian army cannibals decapitate an orthodox christian bishop it's not clear whether or not the bishop is one of the three men but what we do know is that

a syrian bishop was killed while trying to protect religious sisters in essence a second monastery in the north of syria this video appears some six weeks after similar brutal footage was also captured online and at that time there was the leader of a syrian rebel group known as the fabric brigade showed biting into the heart of a did syrian soldier all of this highlights the brutality of the syrian opposition and the extremist elements inside it it comes off to meetings of the friends of syria in which the united states pledged support to say and weapons to this opposition the u.k. and france indicating that they will model over this although indicating they support for such measures all of this lends a very warring sonari and that is why countries like russia have indicated their outrage of weapons being sent to syria saying that it only perpetuates the conflict and benefits at the hands of extremist elements there. as the mass hunger

strike at guantanamo bay needs three hundred fifty day mark and leaked u.s. military report has strongly criticised the camp's authorities that he keys to failing to prevent the suicide of a mentally ill detainee september. and legibly negligent failing to notice that ad man latif was hoarding medication in his cell he died after taking the pill as the one at once yemeni citizen had been held without charge of over a decade and his lawyers say he had lost all hope of release reports estate phase that the hunger strike is at guantanamo many of whom are being force fed could also attempts save a site blaming the us president for failing to use his authority to shut down the prison. there is one hundred sixty sixty one time or prison right now there might be six seven or eight who actually should have their day in court charges should be filed due process this is

president but those have since been dashed american aid to africa has been severely cut while washington stepped up military operations in the region some observers say a bomber has no real interest in helping african countries to develop. the purpose of the trip is not to help. african people to help develop the south forgive me shoes this is a very. calculated glorified publicly relations tour to three true dreams. most people in africa are going to realize and to realize are really this country's doing nothing to help and what they do know is that the overthrow. colonel gadhafi led the eight zero. pastor free so young people are now or how we. may
