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 from 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 the door it will find a very difficult to get the ministry of interior to reform of the police services to reform. precisely because inside the police force inside the mr interior there are so many people that are really quite opposed to the muslim brotherhood instead of promising to change president morsi played with fire and his wednesday speech to the nation praising the police and thanking them for their work so with violence on the horizon many will be forced to attend egypt's need thriving private security industry to protect their own homes and businesses in. cairo a president obama calls on morsi to stick with more constructive policies but little
8:06 am
alice and author william and del believes he will still enjoy washington support he's trying to ram a sharia constitution down down the throats of the egyptian people and that goes against egyptian cultural tradition ninety or eighty percent of the population are sunni muslim the other thing is the economy morsi has has done nothing to improve the economy the economy has he generated the youth unemployment bogus explosive and that i think is a lot of the tinderbox that you see on the streets right now but the other thing is the military hasn't yet we did as to whether they continue to back morsy as they have done under wash 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
8:07 am
morsi has already indicated he's going to take a fair go on 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. now u.s. intelligence a whistleblower and word snowden won't be able to leave russia until he meets south american diplomats that's according to the latest reports where the whistleblower is still stranded without a travel documents of moscow's sheremetyevo airport a tease medina caution about is also there let's get the very latest from him right now. so it seems like snowden is going to stay put for now any idea as to where and how his situation is likely to get resolved. right well indeed according to the latest media reports former cia contractor adverse snowden is not able to leave russia until he meets with the australian and that's the door and diplomats but the tricky thing here is that such
8:08 am
a meeting has not been scheduled yet and the legal see yourself mr snowden is yet to be defined so currently it is indeed impossible for him to leave the international airport where he is basically being stuck in a transit zone since last weekend and though the u.s. government has revoked his passport which means that he is he neither can gather a russian results or leave the airport nor can he get any new tech is on to flights to ask for door or have on them but as this story develops there are reports of an australian president nicolas maduro will arrive in moscow this amman day and so well believe a us album overall this both in this well and aqua door said that they will consider asylum for. anna will consider his to application so it really seems that this ongoing saga will be resolved in the nearest future and we will certainly be
8:09 am
keeping you updated indeed many thanks very much indeed for the subject matter to caution there. now in coming to us now. security advisor susan rice meanwhile says snowden's revelations haven't weakened the presidency or damage the country's foreign policy meanwhile the father of the fugitive whistleblower believes that he would return to the u.s. if certain conditions are met well he's outlined those terms in a letter to the u.s. attorney general lowey snowden says his son should not be detained before trial subjected to a gag order and should be allowed to choose where the court proceedings will take place. the other snowden admits that he hasn't spoken to ad words since april and insists that while the x.e. i implore we committed a crime he is not a traitor the thirty year old is
8:10 am
a whistleblower hasn't been seen since he touched down in russia and while snowden's future has been the subject of intense debate by the world's media investigative journalist duncan campbell believes it's taking the focus away from what he actually revealed. a lot depends on russia but i think the russian game will bespeak 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 next has completely undermined the tremendous gravity of the successive documents and revelations that he's made about lee the scope of american and allied spying on the civil and commercial affairs of the world i think that many americans recognize the true values for which their forefathers fought from the war of independence on woods who would see in snowden
8:11 am
a real hero but that is never going to be reflected in the 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 not even in the washington post which covered his first story he was once known as obama's favorite general but now james cartwright could be charged for exposing a u.s. cyber attack on iran the retired marine is being investigated for allegedly revealing the stuxnet virus which disabled nearly a thousand centrifuges at a rainy and nuclear plant three years ago are just going to have the details. in two thousand and ten when the u.s. carried out this cyber attack against iran general cartwright was vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff 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
8:12 am
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 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 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. 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 like 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 he
8:13 am
wants and targets only those whose meek's embarrass the government. and with the spiling up over washington snooping and tapping the u.s. army has come up with the idea to block the revealing reports american military personnel had access to the u.k.'s guardian newspaper website restricted filtering the content related to the government's blanket surveillance program the british daily has been breaking the news from annecy leaker snowden sharing my own secret documents first investigates. this information is regarding reports in the us media that the u.s. military sense of the missa 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 fan francisco that the staff there won't table to access any of the u.k. guardian websites and only partial access to the us guardian website they said it
8:14 am
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 end of the press office here in the u.k. and i 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 us right now what isn'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 us kids 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 with public release the still classified documents say i mean of the us military justified in
8:15 am
you know preserving the system in this way it's nothing to do with network hygiene it is straight attempt 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 person watching this program so it's a little side ridiculous. side because those soldiers can actually get hold of that information or they have little things computer access problem at all but it's part of an overall increasing encroachments on free speech and access to information the department of defense actually said in their response that they're not going to block websites from the american public in general and that would violate they said the hired help principle of upholding and defending the constitution thing made it
8:16 am
clear this is just not in the u.s. this lying when they talk about democracy they are. 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 line of all of this to control the information and they normally do it by omission in the american channels knots much they lie they just don't tell the truth. well so had an r t who the army is in syria while more evidence of bloody acts of violence by the syrian rebels emerged questions are raised whether opposition fighters should be the ones to get weapons from their western allies we report later on r.t. . and a german actress says she was paid by a broadcaster to lash out at russian officials over the pussy riot trial more details on that coming up shortly.
8:17 am
you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.
8:18 am
welcome back you're watching are the live from moscow and now their act of brutal violence allegedly carried out by syrian rebel fighters has stirred our rage on very vive video posted on the web shows the beheading of three man you may find the following images disturbing while the food edge purports to show supporters of president assad be decapitated with a knife spectators at the execution including women and children this comes just days after american media siding on unnamed officials confirmed that the cia has started to arm the syrian rebels are just this is your choice now looks at the
8:19 am
possible ramifications. a bloody conflict raging on for over two years violence to get the syrian president to step down versus more violence from a leader refusing to do so at least ninety thousand lives taken and counting from the get go washington supported the opposition the u.s. is making a terrible mistake in giving this undifferentiated very. over simplified black and white picture of that the rebel opposition really good guys and assad is the bad guy it's a very very dangerous mistake. dangerous because the opposition is not even close to being a unified political force in reality made up of an array of groups. the free syrian army is a network of thousands of militias and maybe they come up to about eighty thousand people what's scary is how many of these people want you know an extremist government and i think it's more you know it's at least half horrific videos such
8:20 am
as this one have shown that in the uprising the enemy can not only be killed but. there's ten thousand fighters with al nusra front which is al qaeda in iraq reconstituted in syria they might as well call themselves al qaeda in syria but you know they want to rebrand while the west and russia remain at odds on where u.s. support of the opposition could lead. washington has its mind set on providing vetted groups of rebels with small arms and ammunition they're deluding themselves they think that they can cherry pick which factions of the opposition to support but somehow or other we can control the flow of weapons because we give them only to select people. many experts indicate that american politicians are kidding themselves if they think the arms flow can ever be managed and this question of how to give arms to one group but keep them out of the hands of another can likely
8:21 am
never be answered i don't know if i've even heard a clear and unambiguous answer. the obama administration or any foreign policy about where those weapons are going and how we can actually secure the fact that they're going into the right hands but you know who are the right hand russia which has been sending arms to the assad government under a contract that began before the violence says that the united states armed the diversified opposition would kill not only more people but any hope for a peace settlement potentially turning the syrian crisis into never ending chaos like against him even if assad is pushed out after years of bloodshed there are no assurances that his departure will bring peace moreover the us goes ahead with any shape or form of involvement in syria which the opposition would embrace the tide could turn much quicker than american officials may desire loyalties are temporary and guns and weapons like diamonds are forever so today they may be your friend and
8:22 am
tomorrow there are points the finger at you can't resist that's something that as many as seventy percent of americans like us to stay away from syria let's take them out after a decade of warfare in the middle east some while summer rain pouring oil into the fire from left to right it might be high time was to rethink. the citric and see. all we've got plenty on the stories on our website and here's a peek at what is waiting for you there. and the child is sounding crime now with a very grown up punishment a man who scribbled and banking slogans and chalk on the streets of america now faces a decade in jail had to r.t. the com to find out why u.s. authorities are keeping him. and another click away online say the f.b.i. may have your picture on its face recognition database the u.s.
