riots rage in egypt at least three people are killed the supporters and opponents of president morsi clashed with fears growing up war violence still to come. a lot of. south african the riot police crackdown on protests in crowds furious with u.s. policies as president obama tours the continent to boost ties. and i was a lower in limbo reports say n.s.a. leaker edward snowden won't be able to leave a moscow airport until his secure is a backlog of south american diplomats.

this r.t. coming to life in moscow a deadly riots between supporters and opponents of president morsi are heating up in egypt clashes have already left at least three people killed including a u.s. national in xandra are just bell true has the latest from cairo. the worst clashes were in egypt's personal city of alexandria where we saw two people dead including one u.s. citizen the u.s. embassy for their part have removed all non-essential staff in the that this could be a talkative attack in addition president of came out calling for dialogue between opposition forces and the president saying we must have a united stance the marines the u.s. marines are supposedly have come up with a contingency plan should the violence continue against u.s. citizens so to me i saw in protest of people ripping posters of us buses at the car around five percent saying the mission brotherhood president tales from is

definitely following a u.s. agenda civilian grassroots campaign called commodity which means rebel who collected at least eighteen million signatures calling for the president to step down saying saying that he's incapable of running the country we've seen no change in the last year the islamists for their part those who support the president say that all these opposition protests are in a just a mess as the president was democratically elected as egypt when this is a worsening security crisis many citizens are reaching out to private security firms to secure their homes and businesses i spoke to hearing officer maurice protests who say they expect violence and this is something that they really fear in the shadow of the. building. is preparing for the expected violence between supporters and opponents of the president on sunday saima says he has already fortified his small shop just of kyra's to his square with sheets of. list of i got

them in my kiosk has been robbed and destroyed a few times in previous clown shoes i'm going to vacate my shop and 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. a reaching out to private security firms like this one general manager a former high ranking police officer but though we add to what it says his company is preparing for the worst as protesters demand the resignation of missing brotherhood president mohamed morsi. that went 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 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 bees are plugging the gaps amid a deepening security crisis across the country lynchings are on the rise 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 i mean list say the breakdown of security is because citizens no longer favor 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 of 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 me thriving private security industry to protect their own homes and businesses true to our kind. and as we've just heard the u.s. wants morsi to have a constructive conversation in order to improve the political situation in the country but the dr saeed sadak says another arab spring type uprising could be imminent because the islamist president hasn't delivered so far. the president one is is not the all knowing the objectives of the revolution two he was consolidating his own group at the expense of the national interests of the country and. if if the da if he remained silent until he is four years egypt would become like somalia or sudan there are a lot of fields that egypt would be there gyptian evolution is going to be hijacked

like what happened in the ring of bhushan by those islamists who wanted the society to sleep and stay put and do not intervene and lives and do what they want the whole other thing is about calling into account the government and now the feel they have to call the account the president because of the one you need to deliver what people expect. no open arms from africans for president obama on these crucial tour to the continent with protesters staging rallies to vent their anger have the u.s. leader south african riot police fired stun grenades to disperse angry crowds nirvana's berg out of his visit to the city hundreds were gathering for them inspirations against misformed policy in pretoria and cape town as well africans had high hopes want to bomb became u.s. president but many feel those have since been dashed in american aid to africa has

been severely cut while washington has stepped up military operations in the region u.s. officials say obama's tour is supposed to push the u.s. investment and strengthen africa's democratic institutions saw in the pilot from the south african communist party has no illusions about it. and we fear that they express our programs or chords and influence things the middle of the offical month in duboce. it's an indication of where a u.s. interest on that front of can clinton and we were in time to stop that and. minutes out of bases all over the way that the u.s. has court in order that you can have. what it's kind of diplomatic relations as well as trade missions we're not this sort of opposed to a system where the government getting engaged with the usa on trade relations whether we're saying they must because she has a board does because there's a huge imbalance between which was in the u.s. a commitment but there's going to be noting that transparency there is more than

ten times the g.d.p. of the concurrent. rights to a democratic dispensation on that question and answer to tropical development that many of the current government may seek to choose for themselves. u.s. intelligence whistleblower and word snowden won't be able to leave russia until he meets diplomats from south america and that's according to the latest reports where the whistleblower still stranded without a travel documents at moscow's sheremetyevo airport you know caution i was there with the details on how the diplomatic encounter could unfold. the tricky thing here is that such a meeting has not been scheduled yet and the legal status off mr snowden is yet to be defined so it is indeed impossible for him now to leave this share matter about international airport based here in moscow where he has basically been stuck in a transit zone since last weekend now the u.s.

government has revoked his passport which means that he neither can gather a russian visa to leave the airport nor can he theoretically a boy gets on to next flies supernature well or have ana however there are reports that mr snowden has made and know at times to amy take us on to this destinations now os the story develops as well and the president nicolas maduro will arrive in moscow this monday and so we'll believe a album or ralitsa now of both when this well and dora said that they will consider asylum for adverse noton where there are several difficulties in reviewing his asylum application and now he has to be on the country's diplomatic promises which means that he has to be either with the country where he is seeking asylum or with the nets to see here in moscow now meanwhile out with the worse as that while of

the u.s. demands to snowden's absolute dition the u.s. authorities have only numerous so patients reviews of the door and authorities on their demands to actually dies their own citizens there are some speculations of the even as well and president's upcoming visit may actually in the way resolve this ongoing saga and this this. now incoming u.s. national security adviser susan rice meanwhile says snowden's revelations have and weaken the presidency or damage the country's foreign policy meanwhile the father of the fugitive was the lower believes that he would return to the u.s. if certain conditions are met while he's outlined those terms in a letter to the u.s. attorney general so lonely snowden says his son 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 elders know to admits that he hasn't spoken to add a word since april added sis that while the ex cia employee committed a crime is not a traitor the thirty year old n.s.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 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 the the scope of american and allied spying on the

civil and commercial affairs of the world i think that many americans that record in our eyes the true values for which their forefathers fought from the war of independence on woods who would see in snowden a real hero but that is never going to be reflected in the demographics when the price is so tainted and disgracefully so silent in 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 or 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 add an iranian nuclear plant three years ago i just got it

he can't has the details. 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 being investigated as the leaker of that story as you remember the meek 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 but because president obama all but bragged about that alteration 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 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 deeks all it wants and targets only those whose leaks embarrass the government. well still ahead here in our home to arm in syria while more evidence of bloody acts of violence by the rebels emerge questions are raised whether opposition fighters should be the ones to get weapons from their western allies for later here in r.t. . and 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.

welcome back here with our tina another act of brutal violence allegedly carried out by syrian rebel fighters has stirred outrage and very fine video posted on the web shows that we had a of three man i find a following images disturbing the food purports to show supporters of president of being decapitated with a knife spectators at the execution include women and children this comes just days after american media citing unnamed officials confirmed that the cia has started to arm the syrian rebels are dismissing the children now looks at the possible ramifications. of 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 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 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 routes 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 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 we that russia which has been sending arms to the assad government under a contract that began before the violence says that the united states arming 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 of again a step 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 tomorrow they're pointing to the stinger at you this is the song that as many as seventy percent of americans want us to stay away from syria let. 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 you got to rethink it. it's working out parts. and now a sequel it's a lot of stories from around the world we begin with island where eight soldiers have been killed in a roadside blast in the province no groups have yet claimed responsibility for the bombing at least five thousand people have been killed in the muslim insurgency that's plagued thailand's south since two thousand and four. british prime minister david cameron has made an unannounced trip to new case troops in afghanistan he visited cam bastiaan word he pledged a permanent memorial to the hundreds of british service personnel who have lost their lives in the conflict his trip comes amid faltering efforts to negotiate with the taliban and days after the militant group attacked buildings near the presidential palace in kabul as

a cameron is now in the pakistani capital islamabad on the next stop of his trip. several hundred trade unionist in athens have staged a peaceful demonstration against avira sturdy measures and planned job cuts they are angry over a government plan to close some stations and sack moments grey's has received financial bailouts from the new intel failed to help the country out of its crisis . well we've got plenty other stories on our website of course and here's a peek of what is waiting for you there. a child a sound in crime with a very grown up punishment a man who spread bold anti-bank slogans in chalk on the streets of america now faces a decade in jail so i had to r.t. dot com to find out why u.s. authorities are keeping him. and other click away online and say the f.b.i. may have your picture on its facial recognition database and the u.s.

government agency is now being sued for collecting photographs fingerprints and iris scans for millions of americans so had to argy dot com for the full story.

well. technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got this huge area covered. welcome back this is our team now dozens of people have been arrested in same pittsburgh as authorities move to subdue nationalist protesters who have gathered to have a gay pride march police in russia's northern capital separate of the two rival groups to prevent clashes officials said they have been contacted by locals to stop the gay rally which they complain violated the russian law against the propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations both gay rights and nationalist activists who refused to remove it were arrested. are one of germany's main broadcasters has found itself in quite an embarrassing

situation it's being accused of paying its guests to criticize russia a celebrity supporter of protest group pussy riot who slammed their trial as absurd and they are admitted she was paid to do so the challenge now claims it was all a joke our despair all over investigates. yeah after their trial and conviction pussy riot still making headlines the local actress on a title black suggested she was chased by a state broadcaster to talk about the trial i have received money from ted to give opinion on the program aspect they pay money for this i cannot tell you how much money a lot of money is who is one of five celebrities who took part in a discussion show about the trial of the punk collective jailed for hooliganism motivated by religious hatred in response to questions from manuel oxon rights magazine issued a statement from his stressed this was not the case and her expression was of

a satirical nature for all it 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 this pussy riot coverage was not re presenting 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 impression outside also about germany 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 itself 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 here in the thirties despond all without the media role recant we saw in. school incident despite denials of any wrongdoing from the i.d.f. and on the taliban it seems questions being raised over the objectivity of german state media feature all of a early. and coming up it's time to crunch the numbers prime interests is after the short break here in our.

anyone who lives in the us knows that the i.r.s. does not play around one honest or dishonest mistake could get you in a lot of trouble even a longtime friend of mine got his entire life savings destroyed due to some simple honest error you think that workers in an organization that could punish you for your financial failings would be very sharp with their own money but that's sadly not the case according to an audit report from the treasury inspector general for tax administration at the very least one thousand iris employees have abused the charge cards they were issued to cover their official travel expenses some of these people are very high on the ladder including an executive level official a criminal investigator and multiple ploys with security clearances much of the abuses related to employees writing checks for big purchases which later bounced due to accounts being empty yeah the people who could ruin your life for one little financial folly seem to have no problem over drawing while they are living it up on taxpayer funded travel to keep things in perspective the iris is a huge organization so one thousand abusers is

a minority but in the spirit of fairness i think these card abusers should be punished just as harshly as normal people who run afoul of the i.r.s. but that's just my opinion. good afternoon and welcome to prime interest i'm harry and boring and washington d c here's the problem headline that are out today. john corn dine is being sued by the u.s. which will get to end in minutes with edward snowden pennies to languish in airport limbo as he attempts to seek asylum in ecuador in preparation for blowback by the

u.s. the president a backward or preemptively we now it's a trade pact up for discussion in congress with his representatives saying it was a new and a blackmail the economic impact could be servier powerful backward or export market depends on the u.s. but the pact already face in our pair of whole battle for renewal according to usa today snowden is purported to be any moscow airport after flying from hong kong on sunday no need to shrug this off as a one off whistle blower as they are we have an interview with the producer of the atlas shrugged movie john i believe a lauro to share in just a bit. ok back to the a show of the european sovereign debt trade one that john corazon painted the brokerage firm m.f. global just under two years ago and the futures and history regulator of the c f t c finally decided to bring charges.
