revelations from ex cia contractor edward snowden are exposed the u.s. has been bugging and saddam monitoring e.u. institutions in brussels and washington and new york. riots rage in egypt at least three people were killed supporters and opponents of president morsi clashed has grown up to come. to our. south african riot police crackdown protesting crowds furious with u.s. policies as the bomber tours the continent to boost trade ties.

on air and online twenty four hours a day this says r.t. new reports of u.s. surveillance are emerging from a german publication courtesy of edward snowden this spiegel magazine reports claim they've seen a top secret u.s. document outlining how the country's intelligence bugged e.u. offices and spied on the block's internal computer networks. what's the the documents that says that they received through edward snowden were able to see part of says is that the national security agency were well spying on the e.u. just about everywhere they could that they were tapping phones they were hacking their 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 is one of the

countries that was most bite 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 though it seems that no matter who you work wherever you were you were subject to wire taps and computer hacking and having your premises bugged by the n.s.a. one interesting part of this article says that it quote saying that you 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 that 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 were watching you indeed when r.t. asked low dave our newest former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament why the u.s. selected the e.u. its close ally as a target. my educated guess is that this has been 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 open this already discussing internally off strategy that is one of the possibilities but this is willing going on apparently for more than five years it traces back to find out from nato headquarters well this even goes decades further into the show called echelon program from the seventy's the e.u.'s for example is

stronger than ever militarily even technologically i mean the internet is an american invention but on the economic level it is losing ground everywhere huge issue with the brics countries that are doing the e.u. is adding strong which i would russia with the africa with latin america and the us 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. deadly while leaked diplomatic correspondence from the ecuadorian government suggests that jenna sanchia mabyn pulling strings at the country's london embassy to help added snowden they claim that the wiki leaks founder asked the consul that issue a safe travel pass document for snowden which is not authorized by the country's government parties when a cautionary varies on the story. the wall street journal has recently published

information containing diplomatic correspondence with the door and government and particularly there was information concerning one ecuadorian diplomat who works at the country's embassy in london it was the diplomat who issued the controversial travel document 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 wiki leaks julian assange lynch and that information really provoked a lot of thoughts that mr asuncion could be perceived as running the show in ecuador and he could actually be in the middle of handling the situation mr assange said that all those are just another terms to really take away the from the c. rist exposures there were made to boy mr snowden and really the same commons came from ecuador and the president are afraid of god rather sad the odds to 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 it's now we're going to have to explain our actions but we're not the ones spying on people because 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 realise the trav they want to fall into what is really serious is snowden's whistle blowing it out there were also reports that ecuador and president carter a out has held talks with the us vice president joe biden however it was revealed that rare has not yet made up his mind on snowden's asylum application it is impossible for mr edward snowden to actually leave the share much of our international airport which is based here in moscow and the us government

has. his passport which means that he neither can get a russian visa to actually leave the airport nor can he if the are radically bly any tickets to have vanno or appledore so however as the story develops now even a swell young 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 meanwhile the whistleblowers father believes that snowden would return to america under certain conditions on those terms in a letter to the u.s. attorney general when he snowden says his son should not be detained before trial or subjected to a gagging order he also declared that his son should be allowed to choose where the court proceedings will take place where you know the snowden admits that he hasn't spoken to edward since april and insists that while the ex cia contractor committed a crime he's also

are responsible for the bigger they are from of one 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 they 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 of violence. on the horizon many will be forced to attend egypt's need thriving private security industry to protect their own homes and businesses tree to r.t. cairo. group of secular leading deputies have resigned from egypt's acting parliament in support of the opposition rallies side saturday on the american university in cairo believes another uprising could be imminent as its newest president hasn't to

received a frosty reception from some quarters on the second leg of his three nation africa tour and angry protests erupting over u.s. drone attacks in there because failure to close guantanamo bay prison will stun grenades and warning shots were fired as riot police try to disperse crowds in the country is not just in the news but hundreds join demonstrations and protests or even take time as well american aid to africa has been severely cuts while washington is top military operations on the continent are sufficient to say the president's war is supposed to promote investment and strengthen africa's democratic institutions something most african communist party takes a different view. but we feel that the expression of our programs on the african continent for instance this meant of the africa command. it's an indication of a u.s. interest on that front of clinton and we were on team to that. military bases all over the way that the u.s. has court in order that you can have. all its current diplomatic relations as well

as cradle ations why not start a little pulls through a system where the government through the u.s. on trade relations what do i say. about this because this is a huge imbalance between the u.s. and particularly noting that transparency there is more than ten times the g.d.p. of the entire african continent. to a democratic dispensation on the continent and development that many african governments may seek to choose for themselves. british prime minister david cameron has made a surprise trip to visit u.k. troops in afghanistan and travel to the u.k.'s largest military base in the country he pledged opponent memorial to the hundreds of british service personnel lost their lives in the conflict camp bastion of recently revealed to be holding almost one hundred afghan detainees often without charge so distant blogger said it's

a damage limitation exercise i think it's a kind of saving face for the west now they've clearly lost understand they can't leave they cannot withdraw the equipment they cannot withdraw the troops without the taliban. so if the taliban agree that they can leave without being fired upon right now the west is trying to save face they're leaving with their tail tucked between their legs and you know they could have negotiated from the very start but i think the u.k. wants to follow america's disastrous policy disastrous war in job understand it's been over ten years and we're all we have in the same place the taliban are still strong. still operating in the region and the only thing the west has money should do is lose thousands of lives and spend billions of dollars.

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 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 you know 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 that 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

there are points the finger at you a recent pew poll showing 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 all summer rain pouring oil into the fire from left to right it might be high time you want to rethink it. that's it you're going to see. the world news in brief for you now thousands gathered in earnest to modding justice for protest a shot by police during rallies that's what twenty two reports twenty people were arrested during the rally and also vented their anger over the release of a policeman from custody pending trial for the killing of an activist in the capital ankara and he's witnessed almost a month of on rest after city and against a government a development that gives you part in istanbul was broken up. at

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 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 what 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.
