so good to have you this evening lucy cough nothing of course you're watching our team we've got twenty four hours a day a live news and analysis for you well on to our top story new reports of u.s. surveillance are emerging from a german publication courtesy of edward snowden der spiegel magazine is reporting that they've seen a top secret u.s. document outlining how the country's intelligence has bugged e.u. offices not to mention spied on the block's internal computer networks peter all over has more. what's the the the documents that says that they received through edward snowden we're able to see part of says is that the national security agency were well spying on you just about everywhere they could that they were tapping phones they were hacking

a computer networks at the un in washington d.c. also that they were booking premises in brussels and carrying out the same type of . phone tapping and computer hacking there as well germany came out as one of the the countries that was most spied on as part of this prism operation by the n.s.a. something that raised a few eyebrows and certainly posed a few questions when chancellor angela merkel met with president barack obama a little while ago now what we're also seeing is that it's the same type of thing as this came out regarding the booking of then president dmitri medvedev so it seems that no matter who you were wherever you were you were subject to wire taps and computer hacking and having your premises bugged by the n.s.a. and now one interesting part of this article says this quote saying that the e.u.

were a target a definite target for this type of surveillance and also says that five years ago the e.u. itself had looked into phone calls it had been made to them had traced phone calls apparently back to a n.s.a. office that was based inside the nato compound in brussels so they certainly had suspected that they were under surveillance but it's a very different thing suspecting that somebody is watching you to then finding out through these type of leaked documents that they certainly were watching you and just how closely they're watching you indeed. we asked load of a news the former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament why the united states had selected the e.u. its close ally as a target my educated guess is that this has having to do with economic spying on the e.u. you know that the e.u. is for the moment negotiating a new free trade agreement the us well you have all the interest to know what you

know prudent this already discussing internally off strategy that is one of the possibilities but this is being going on apparently for more than five years it traces back to dinah from nato headquarters well this even goes to years decades further into the show called national program from the seventy's the e.u.'s for example is stronger than ever militarily even technology plea i mean the internet is the american invention but on the economic level it is losing ground everywhere with the brics countries that are doing the e.u. is adding strong which i would rush to after come in latin america and the u.s. doesn't seem to get its economic. priorities imposed as it used to so what i see here and here is a big risk for economic spying is linked to diplomatic correspondence from the ecuadorian government suggest that julian aslan may have been pulling the strings

of the country as a london embassy this in order to help edward snowden they claim that the wiki leaks founder had asked the consul there to issue something that's called a safe travel pass document for stoughton which was not actually authorized by the country's government what is meant in a coach has been has been following the story for us. the wall street journal has recently published information containing diplomatic correspondence with an the door and government and particularly there was information concerning one ecuadorian diplomat who works at the country's embassy in london now it was the diplomat who issued the controversial travel documents for mr snowden and that's a later sparked a lot of debate now according to the car despondence the diplomat who works closely with the weekend leaks julian assange lynch and that information really provoked a lot of thoughts that mr sunshine could be perceived as running the showing that her door and he could actually be in the middle of handling the situation now in

response to that mr asuncion said that all that are just another terms to really take away the function from the c. rist exposures there were made to boy mr snowden and really the same comments came from ecuador and the president are afraid colorado south dodson mr snowden's exposures are serious and very important and that they once again shed some light on the massive u.s. spying out for its ordered parliament building. and now we're going to have to explain our actions but we're not the one spying on they said we have provided snowden with a document for travel now it is a problem for them and not what snowden actually revealed about cyber spying cases do you realize the trav they want us to fall into what is really serious is snowden's whistle blowing. there were also reports that ecuador and president carter

a out has held talks with us vice president joe biden however it was revealed that rare has not yet made up his mind on snowden's asylum application meanwhile according to the elitists a media reports former cia contractor for advice. snowden as a not able to leave russia until he meets with a south american diplomats however the tricky thing is is that the missing is not scheduled yet and the legal status of mr snowden's is yet to be identified now current he it is impossible for mr edward snowden to actually leave the share most of our international airport which is based here in moscow and the u.s. government has revoked his passport which means that he neither can get a russian visa to actually leave the airport nor can he if the erratic leave any tickets to have on the or appledore so however as the story develops now

venus williams president nicolas maduro will arrive in moscow on monday and that there are some speculations that his upcoming visit may actually resolve the situation in a way. well meanwhile the father of the fugitive whistleblower believes that he could have his son would return to the united states if certain conditions are met now the father has outlined those terms in a letter that he has sent to the u.s. attorney general eric holder's let's take a look at what lonnie snowden the father says now he believes that his son should not be imprisoned before the actual trial he wants his son not to be subject to a gag order which is basically something that would prevent him from being able to speak publicly about this and he also believes that edward snowden could return if he's allowed to choose a location and venue of the trial now the elder snowden admits that he hasn't

spoken to edward since april and he also insists that while the former cia employee committed a crime he's not a traitor the thirty year old n.s.a. whistleblower hasn't been seen since he's touched down in russia and while snowden's torture pardon me future has been the subject of intense debate by the world's media investigative journalist duncan campbell believes that it is taking the focus away from the leaks that he actually put to light. a lot depends on on russia but i think the russian game will be a speed 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 record nice

through values for which their forefathers fought from the war of independence on words who would see in snowden a real hero but that is never going to be the flecked to in a 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 this first story deadly riots between supporters and opponents of president morsi are heating up in egypt clashes have already killed several people including a u.s. national in alexandria thousands are now rallying in tahrir square in cairo demanding the islamist leader step down r t is true has the details for us. the worst clashes were in egypt's coastal 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 targeted attack in addition president of barmah came out calling for dialogue between opposition forces and the president saying they must have a united stand the marines the u.s. marines are supposedly have come up with a contingency plan should the violence continue against u.s. citizens certainly i saw in protest people ripping posters of u.s. buses at the car around five percent saying listen brotherhoods the 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 here in opted to morey's protests here saying they expect violence and this is something that they really fear in the shadow of the bricks in the building. is preparing for the expected finance between supporters and opponents of the egyptian president on sunday somebody says he has already fortified his small shop just of cairo's tahrir square with sheets of. list of at them and my kiosk has been robbed and destroyed a few times in previous clown shoes i'm going to the keep my shop as i'm afraid of what is going to happen in the violence i don't want to lose everything again 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 hip says his company 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 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 being 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 analysts 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 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 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's 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 new thriving private security industry to protect their own homes and businesses true. cairo. meanwhile a group of secular leaning deputies have resigned from egypt's acting parliament. in support of the opposition rallies now r.t.

has spoken to dr saeed shadegg from the american university in cairo and he believes that another arab spring type uprising could be imminent this because the islamist president hasn't delivered on his promises thus far the president one is this is not the only thing the objectives of the evolution two he was to salute the thing he's only good at the expense of the national interests of the country and also to defend that if if they don't if they remain silent until he is in full use egypt could become like somalia or sudan they will look and feel that egypt will be their ships and it will be sure that this is going to be hijacked like what happened in the doing of. its limits who wanted the society to sleep and stay put and do not intervene and lives in what do you want the who on the spring is about putting into account the government and now if you have to call the

angry crowds where johannesburg ahead of his visit to the city hundreds had also gathered for demonstrations against u.s. foreign policy in pretoria and cape town as well africans had high hopes when obama became a u.s. president but feel those have since been dashed american aid to ask. has been severely cut while washington has stepped up military operations in the region u.s. officials say obama's choice is supposed to promote u.s. investment and also to strengthen africa's diplomatic pardon me democratic institutions but some have a different take on the matter here salim a pilot from the south african a communist party. we feel that they express that in our programs on the african continent for instance this published middle of the africa command into poti. it's an indication of where u.s. interest on that front of clinton and we want him to stop that and. the military bases all over the way that the u.s.

has court in order that you can have. its kind of diplomatic relations as well as trade with nations who are not that's not a little opposed to a system where the government getting engaged with the usa on trade relations what we're saying they must be cautious about this because this is a huge imbalance between which has in the us a just really noting that spare us is more than ten times the g.d.p. of the entire african continent. rights to a democratic dispensation on the continent and development that many african governments may seek to choose for themselves. let's get a check on news making headlines around the globe right now. british prime minister david cameron has made an unannounced trip to afghanistan to visit ukase troops there and he has traveled to the u.k.'s largest military base in the country where he pledged a permanent memorial to hundreds of british service personnel who have lost their

lives in the conflict camp bastion it was recently revealed to be holding holding almost one hundred afghan soldiers often without charge although those have slowly been released in the past week now his trip comes amid faltering efforts to negotiate with the taliban and days after the militant group had attacked buildings near the presidential palace in kabul mr cameron is now in islamabad which is the next stop of his trip. thousands have gathered in taksim square in istanbul demanding justice for a protester shot by police during rallies that have swept across turkey people also ventured their anger over the release of a policeman from custody pending trial for the killing of an activist in the capital of ankara many adopted the standing man protest a form of defiance that had become popular after a police crackdown turkey's witness almost a month of on rest after a sit in against a government redevelopment plan forget the park in istanbul was broken up.

in thailand eight soldiers have been killed in a roadside blast in the yellow province no groups have yet claimed responsibility for the bombing at least five thousand people have been killed in the muslim insurgency that has plagued thailand south since two thousand and four. a seventeen year old boy has been sentenced to a year in jail in raided this for insulting the king of the gulf state the punishment kept comes after a common chauffeur had made on a social media website now the boy denies any links to a twitter account from where his posts were allegedly made of course this is not. the first time before any authorities of crackdown on critics of the monarchy human rights activist is serving a three year sentence for inciting protests through online tweets. several hundred trade unionists in athens have staged

a peaceful demonstration against of year of assyria measures and planned job cuts are angry over a government plan to close some state agencies as well as to sack employees greece has received financial bailouts from the e.u. which have failed to help the country out of its crisis. around sixty people have been arrested in st petersburg as authorities move to subdue a confrontation between nationalist protesters and gay rights activists police in russia's northern capital had separated the two rival groups in order to prevent clashes now officials said that they have been contacted by local stupors and they stopped the gay rights rally they complained that violated the russian law on what legislators described as the promotion of quote nontraditional sexual sexual relations both gay rights and nationalist activist who refused to leave had been arrested. and act of brutal violence allegedly carried out by a group of syrian rebel fighters has stirred some outrage now unverified video

posted on the internet shows the beheading of three men and i should warn you you may find the following images rather disturbing. now the footage which you're seeing right now reports to show supporters of president bashar al assad being to capitated with a knife spectators at the execution include women and children of course this comes just days after american media citing unnamed officials confirmed that the cia started to arm the syrian rebels r.t. as an associate turkana 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 us is making a terrible mistake in giving this undifferentiated very oversimplified

black and white picture 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 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 never be answered i don't know if i've even heard a clear and unambiguous answer. the obama administration or any foreign policy on about where those weapons are going and how we can actually secure in the fact that they're going into the right hands but you know who are the right hand me 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 of 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 receive the silver 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 wild horses were freed from foreign oil and the fire from the left right it might be high time you want to rethink it. that's the trick and let's see. up next next kaiser exposes accounting tricks for

banks and a new fashion in financial fraud stay with us. 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 letter including an executive level official a criminal investigator and multiple blois 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. fascist my opinion.

welcome to the kaiser report on my max kaiser fico blue accounting is the new black yes it's the must wear accounting trick for banks and as a palette as a nations across the world this season and financial fraud fashion experts that is to say the auditors say that big counting looks great matched with a mis sold swap or wrapped in an accidental misplaced been a segregated client funds so a great way to recycle all your old scams emerging as the tide goes out however just as you wouldn't wear a mini skirt if your legs look like tree stumps you don't want to try wearing these accounting tricks and.
