what you are coming to you live from the russian capital i'm marina joshie welcome to the program now the n.s.a. spy scandal continues to grow fueled by some fresh exposures from edward snowden revelations of offices being the target of u.s. snooping has set alarm bells ringing across europe with us leaders demanding an explanation from washington germany's justice minister has slammed the spying activities as cold war tactics while the head of the e.u. parliament martin show describes the situation as a huge scandal though saying that more information was needed on it belgian prime minister oh guy ever hostile to cold for an immediate stop of the n.s.a. surveillance program while luxembourg's foreign minister john boehner said the u.s. should watch its own spies rather than snooping on its allies are just that all over has the details on snowden's bombshell revelations. what's the the
9:02 am
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 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 is well germany came out is 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
9:03 am
as this came out regarding the the booking of then president dmitri medvedev so it seems that no matter who you were wherever you were you were subject to why it taps and computer hacking and having your premises bugged by the n.s.a. now one interesting part of this article says that it quotes 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 being 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. germany is one of washington's main
9:04 am
targets in europe berlin based peace activist bush explains why. i think the larger concern is keeping. some political control over germany because the united states has very important military assets in germany the bases here are the most important in all of europe and. i think that's the reason that germany is more heavily monitored than any other european country that's what the reports say and of course that goes back to the fact that during the entire occupation really up till the early ninety's in any case u.s. military intelligence felt that they had a right to spy on in any german especially in berlin. while the latest leak comes with the u.s. already in hot water over its prism program washington used to collect massive amounts of data from all over the world which they say was used to foil terror plots and improve national security but as archie's or an illusion reports the real
9:05 am
terrorists are out of reach for the snooping software which only scratches the surface of data gathering. and there is suppose a quest for preventing terror attacks and increasing security prism only gathers data from the internet big players such as google facebook and so on but most of those who look forward to harvest or terrorist related information can find it only on the appropriate forums which are hidden deep within the so-called underwear none of these resources in that realm are actually indexed by the major search engines in fact google had it one point admitted that it indexes a tiny fraction of just one percent of all data that's available on the web if you imagine it as an iceberg that you can understand that prism only covers the very top the very tip of the iceberg the rest of the information is actually not covered by prism according to dutch intelligence service but tensional terrorists go to these core forums which are highly encrypted and hidden deep within the web so one
9:06 am
really needs to know what they're looking for and where to find it a case in point could be the brothers they have turned to one of the war known radical sources sometimes referred to as the vanity fair of al qaida though the web site existence is no secret for some reason u.s. security services failed to track down the brothers activity even after a tip off from russia and thereby they failed to prevent the boston bombings so although the cia and the n.s.a. say their surveillance programs are directed at protecting people it seems like they're too busy reading innocent people's e-mails. and if you're outside the u.s. how do you know if your online data is going to be gathered and closely examined by prison so long gone to r.t. dot com to find out how the u.s. agency decides when to use their digital magnifying glass abroad. ecuador's president meanwhile says that snowden's fate is out of his hands and the whistleblowers next move depends on what russia does u.s.
9:07 am
wise president joe biden urged ecuador not to grant asylum to snowden but they can do it yet anyway because he's not an ecuadorian territory moscow though insists that they won't be discussing what to do with the thirty year old any time soon for a look back at the whistleblowers journey so far here's our tease to bang woodsy. burnings and snowden i'm twenty nine years old as soon as edward snowden revealed himself as the whistleblower he set off a catch me if you can hunt by the u.s. government want to get him caught and away is he now guessing game for the media after a tip off that snowden was on board a flight from hong kong to moscow the media started speculating as to his next move edward snowden flew from hong kong to moscow say that he will be able to have on a flight the situation descended into a farce when a crowd of journalists boarded a flight from moscow to havana only to find that the whistle blower was not on board a presumed to be stuck in an airport transit say so we took off without it so we
9:08 am
committed to a twelve hour plus flight that was essentially a waste of time the global public city had turned one of america's most wanted men into a hero for some to others as a traitor i think he has. committed crimes in fact by. agreements given the position he had. several countries have been tangled up in this case the with the veiled threats from washington and bag and forth rhetoric we've registered objections to the authorities in hong kong as well as to the chinese government through diplomatic channels and we know that such behavior is the detrimental to us hong kong and us china bilateral relations. as for the possibility of extradition we do not have any such treaty signed with the united states but for ecuador a potential asylum destination snowden this is a move beyond mere rhetoric the country's move to scrub a trade agreement with the us risking economic losses standing its ground in the
9:09 am
face of america's pressure added his government is also said to be divided the safe passage document dated twenty second of june obtained by weeklies will snowden from the ecuadorian embassy in london was not authorized meanwhile the mystery continues as to snowden is the next move he's now waiting at present korea to make a decision on the asylum application without a pressure from the u.s. are asking him not to grant it the door and president also said that the media attention surrounding snowden has actually diverted from the real story that of the n.s.a. surveillance documents but by snowden's own admission this was never going to be a story with a fairy tale ending come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk to bungle day r.t. moscow then coming national security adviser insisted that snowden's revelations
9:10 am
did little to damage u.s. foreign policy or president obama ray mcgovern who worked for the cia for nearly three decades snowden's case actually shows that the u.s. government is losing the battle against was the lowers the spyder a big money operations. i can understand the embarrassment i can understand people getting on on t.v. and saying this fellow as a traitor traitor i think is a patriot you see it's a contest between very sophisticated people in wiki leaks and people like snowden and this fast after at us that has all the money but not as much talent and there's the key because this is a leveling field here this is a leveling field where the united states with all its money and all its defense expenditures is on a level playing field with very very bright people abroad very very bright people in the ecuadorian embassy in london and very bright people in n.s.a.
9:11 am
and what i'm saying here is that the u.s. is outmatch so far all the money and with all the control that borders frankly on fascism with the executive the judiciary and the congress all complicit in violating our constitution if snowden can continue to elude this dragnet it will be really a mark for liberty a mark for the rule of law in the international sphere that's why they that's where u.s. authorities will do everything possibly can to try to get him. war stories have for you a cool welcome in south africa if we follow president obama's africa trip that's been overshadowed by angry protests and that's coming up later this hour. ages whiling with anger as tens of thousands gather for a massive anti morsi rally into square in cairo marking his one year in power

a computer game could land this teenager in jail for eighty years even though he did say he was just joking had to calm and find out why american authorities have become so humorless. this week saw the first piece of the jigsaw of russia's new navy taking to the seas the stern of mr all class helicopter carrier built in russia's st petersburg shipyard is now awaiting its trip to france where the whole ship will be fully assembled artie's maria was at the milestone launch for moscow and pears. to me it was. one of those that find the ground according to the deal signed two years ago this shipyard in st petersburg will play a vital role in the fabrication of by vessels this section built here will soon had
9:19 am
two fronts for completion before making the return journey to enter the service in russia's navy although there's no champagne available to celebrate here today because a bottle of it was just smashed on a new shape or rather on base section of an u. shape it's still a big day for a big ship it to his lawn with a mistrial class war ships have enough capacity to carry sixteen helicopters up to full to tanks or armored vehicles and around six hundred troops and a range of around forty thousand kilometers the cruel end over a single trip around the entire globe and what's even maybe more important. if it is a multipurpose vessel if. this ship is like a swiss knife it can be used both for military and civilian purposes it's a hospital it's a command point it's an assault ship and it's a headquarters it would be great for each of our four fleets to have that ship however the purchase of the two ships is not without its critiques some of russia's own ship builders complain that frons put
9:20 am
a huge order to sort of the mastic shipyards they also say the deal has more political than economic benefits it's just recently emerged that the two mistrial quasi warships will not be able to operate in russia's bison winters without special lubricants that means more expense for the navy and dependence on a foreign supply chain others argue it's a win win situation for both countries france gets an order worth over a billion euro which will keep many of its ship builders in business more important now than ever because of the ongoing euro zone debt crisis while russia gets a warship that'll considerably boost its military capacity and also gains access to a very latest naval technology the first ship is expected to join russia's navy by the end of next year with another want to follow and as to whether this one deal will lead to closer ties with paris mosco will simply have to wait to see which way the wind blows. st petersburg.

rights groups are reporting that abuse is so still that the police haven't been reformed they're saying that he's incapable of running this country face protests has been largely cooled for by a grassroots campaign called tomato this means rebels they say they collected twenty two million signatures calling for the president's ouster meanwhile the president his boss says that he is staying he said he is democratically elected and therefore the only way that people can change a mystery the ballot box he supports is accurate the sentiment there at the moment is staying i heard a moscow a few kilometers away and they are saying that it's that he was voted in this is a just a mess and therefore the police are going to leave and they school it just meant we had reports there are clashes in the governor it's already there's a lot of tensions here because egypt is sorry devices and people are moving on either side of the clashes among which is in the north this is a very industrial city the scene of the two strikes that is between opponents and
9:23 am
the supporters of the president and the last week we pose a scene of the missing brotherhood headquarters targeted ransacked viable by protesters were taking out that anger on the missing brotherhood ring which the president has from and the president himself the ministry for their part said they will intervene in a finance doesn't escalate that people here say they are leaving the setting up tends to be here they say for the next week until president morsi steps down. i spoke to so many people. to see artists mahmoud you cood paid a new government you just took cairo's tahrir square is. latest to mock nationwide protests sunday is in support of tomorrow to meaning rebel a grassroots campaign collecting signatures calling for the resignation of president mohamed morsi. as a citizen i just want food health services and education we don't have instead morsi gave us just three pieces of bread a day you can see by his belly he eats ten in one meal. like
9:24 am
many threw his support behind tomorrow which has gathered over eighteen million signatures they hope to install a transitional government and early presidential elections tomorrow a person's right to be found in the prospect capital not everyone believes that president morsi step down however the campaign has highlighted the problems in egypt's economy is in freefall as a questioning fuel and water shortages and a bread crisis on the horizon rights groups say that abuses and torture are rampant meanwhile the government continues to restrict basic freedoms. sentenced to prison for working for pro-democracy and egypt says the explosion of post revolution groups involved in civic engagement like tomorrow has been matched by government crackdowns you have activists being arrested campaign and and other areas you've had bad buildings ransacked and it's sort of continuing on with this conspiracy
9:25 am
that's pushed by the by the government and by state activists against the people to imply that the civil side to threaten our national security muslim brotherhood officials for their part have said that many of those coming out on june thirtieth of folks and the problem is in egypt predate that president. thirty years of dictatorship. still we are suffering so. that people can judge really if he can really deal with these struggles however millions agree that morsi should be blamed over they still have to strike an accord . as to what exactly they want to replace him with tomorrow it may be people or idea around it today those are called the thirtieth of june front they decided that they want to go with this political map that involves an includes the military for instance for internal security and this is something that others like me and other movements as well totally disagree with so you will have these two different views
9:26 am
coming up and in the future what ever the president's reaction to the mass protest movement it's clear that it's not going to beit with june thirtieth set to become one of the biggest challenges yet to egypt's beleaguered leader true for t.v. kyra a brief look now at some other stories making news around the world and thousands of gathered on taksim square in a sample demanding justice for a kurdish protester shot by police during rallies there according to local reports twenty arrests have been made crowds also vana zeer anger over the release of a policeman from custody ahead of his trial for the killing of an activist in the capital ankara turkey has been in the grip of public unrest for the past month. in northwest pakistan at least sixteen people have been killed and over forty injured in a blast on the outskirts of peshawar and the attack appears to have targeted a convoy of security forces but most of the victims were civilians the city which
9:27 am
borders the rest of tribal region controlled by the taliban is plagued by frequent militant violence. next the story of a surgeon whose values have been changed forever by war. i love life but there is a lot of sick stuff going on on this planet for example according to bloomberg a hospital in chicago has been accused by the f.b.i. of cutting the throats of patients for big bags of cash a tracheotomy is a procedure to get air directly into the windpipe of someone who can't breathe by cutting a hole into it an f.b.i. affidavit based on tape recording says that the hospital knowingly and purposely
9:28 am
sedated patients to the point that they couldn't breathe properly and would need tracheotomy and as you know in the u.s. health care system nothing comes cheap trick out of his own days cost about one hundred sixty thousand dollars a pop this alleged conspiracy between doctors and management is not the first of its kind at this hospital an administrator and five doctors have already been charged for medicare fraud for giving and receiving kickbacks not only is having a hole punched in your neck for money disgusting but it may also be lethal because patients at that hospital in chicago are three times more likely to die than patients at other hospitals from tracheotomies throughout the state now how did the f.b.i. find out about this well three employees ratted out the hospital and worked with the f.b.i. to make a lot of incriminating voice recordings these people risk their jobs and possibly much more to do what was right and i salute them reading out evil is no wrong deed but that's just my opinion.
9:29 am
i believe clay is the. her fic material it's alive. working with the demands precision. you make just a small change and you get a totally different result. was before getting to work you have to study the material watch it or try to figure out what it looks like then the image comes to you. when i'm operating. the moment i make that first incision. when i touch the tissue i can feel the patient's character through my hands.
