europe's outraged and the u.s. with a key trade pact under threat fresh leaks from n.s.a. whistleblower snowden show america has been blogging tapping and cyber monitoring e.u. offices. meanwhile snowden still stranded in a moscow airport with ecuador pointing at the russia to decide his fate while the kremlin says the n.s.a. the euro's case is not on its agenda at all. also this week no mercy for morsi as he marks his first year as egyptian president angry crowds demand his resignation was both opponents and supporters gearing up for mass rallies.

what you are taking me to live from the russian capital where it's six pm at the moment i'm marina joshing welcome to the program. the n.s.a. spy scandal continues to grow fueled by some fresh exposures from edward snowden revelations of european union offices being the target of u.s. snooping has set alarm bells ringing across the block with its leaders demanding explanations from washington and trade pact between america and the e.u. worth billions is now under threat with germany's justice minister slamming the spying activities as cold war tactics well they had of the e.u. parliament smartens described the situation as a huge scandal though saying that more information was needed on it belgian prime minister a guy verhofstadt called for an immediate stop of the n.s.a.

surveillance program while luxembourg's foreign minister john s. aboard said the u.s. should watch its own spies rather than snooping on its allies are just peed all over has the details on snowden's bombshell revelations. 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 the e.u. just about everywhere they could 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 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 the same type of thing as this came out regarding the the. then president dmitri made yet it so it seems that no matter who you were wherever you were you were subject to why you taps and computer hacking and having your premises bugged by the n.s.a. now one interesting part of this article says 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 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 were watching you indeed. now germany is one of washington's main targets in your berlin based peace activist alza rodgers 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 so 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 him and the german especially in berlin now the latest leak comes

with the u.s. already in hot water over its prism program washington use it 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 are reports the real terrorists are out of reach for the snooping software which only scratches the surface of data gathering. and there is the pose a quest for preventing terror attacks and increasing security prism only gathers data from the internet big players such as google sky 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 how that 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 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 sensual terrorists go to these core forums which are highly encrypted and hidden deep within the web so one 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 no 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 in some people's e-mail. if you're outside the u.s. how do you know if your online data is going to be gathered and closely examined by bryza so long gone to r.t. dot com to find out how the u.s.

agency to science when to use their digital magnifying glass abroad. now 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. vice president joe biden urged ecuador not to grant asylum to snowden but they can do it anyway because he is not an ecuadorian territory moscow though insists that they won't be discussing what to do with a thirty year old any time soon for a look back at the whistleblowers journey so far here's our g.'s to bang would say . snowden twenty nine years old as soon as edward snowden revealed himself as the whistleblower when 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 on the have on a flight the situation descended into a fog 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 him so we 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 a traitor i think he has. committed crimes and in fact by violating agreements given the position he had. several countries have been tangled up in this case a with a veiled threats from washington and bag and forth rhetoric we've registered our strong jepson 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 things have moved beyond mere rhetoric the countries we've described a trade agreement with the us risking economic losses standing its ground in the 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 weekly's was snowden from the ecuadorian embassy in london was not authorized meanwhile of the mystery can. 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. also in him not to granted they could go in 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 you can't come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and be completely free from risk to bungle day r.t. moscow now the incoming national security adviser insisted that snowden's revelations did little to damage u.s. foreign policy will present or president obama rahm a governor who worked for the cia for nearly three decades and he says snowden's case actually shows that the u.s. government is losing the battle against whistleblowers the spy their big mining operations. i can understand the embarrassment i can understand people getting on on t.v. and saying this fellow is 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 apparatus 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. and what i'm saying here is that the u.s. is outmatch so for all the money and with all the to troll the 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 possible to get him and more stories i have for you a cool welcome in south africa we follow president obama's africa trip that's been

overshadowed by angry protests that's coming up later this hour. egypt's boiling with anger a stance of thousands gather for a massive and time morsi rally in town we're square in cairo marking his one year in power the president's supporters have also turned out in huge numbers in the egyptian capital. well right now you're looking at a live pictures from to her ear square opposition activists are demanding the resignation of the islamist leader saying his policies have failed clashes are being reported between rival rallies and the other city north of cairo argues bill true as the latest from the egyptian capital. tens of thousands of people have gathered today to say to president mohamed morsi they say he must leave in the background you can hitch on to pass out which means please leave go out they said this is a make or break day they find out i speaking to protesters they told me that nothing's

changed in the last year they got a saying the economy was singing fuel on board the shortest is a correct price and horizon rights groups are reporting that abuses are still that the police haven't been reformed by saying that he's incapable of running this country face protests has been harshly cooled for by a grassroots campaign called tomato this means rebels they say make mixing 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 to mystery the band of folks he supports is accurate the sentiments there at the moment is staying i heard a moscow a few kilometers away and they are saying that it's a you that he was voted in this is a just a mess and therefore oppose for him to leave and they school i'm sorry to disappoint we've had reports there are clashes in the governor's already there's a lot of tensions here because he didn't disagree devices that he put off moving

the sorry but in the last week people say seen a lot of the missing brotherhood headquarters the targeted ransacked viable by protest is the taking out that anger on the missing mother during which the president has from and the president himself the military for their part said they will intervene and they find it 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 are. every day local graffiti artists. paints and new antigovernment just of cairo's tahrir square his 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 these instead morsi gave us just three pieces of bread a day you can see by his belly he eats ten in one meal. frustrated like

many threw his support behind tomorrow they hope to install a transitional government and early presidential elections tomorrow a person's right to be found in the prophet capital not everyone believes that president morsi step down however the campaign has highlighted the problems in egypt's economy is in freefall into the worsening fuel and water shortages and the bread crisis on the horizon why it's perhaps a bit 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 they ransacked all and it's sort of continuing on with this conspiracy 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 talks and the problems in egypt predate their president of thirty years of dictatorship of course. still we are suffering so. that people can judge really if he could really deal with these struggles however millions agree that morsi should be blamed although they still have to strike an accord as to what exactly they want to replace him with tomorrow maybe people or idea around that 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 coming up and in the future what ever president the. 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 boucherie r.t. kyra now a group of secular or leaning deputies have resigned from egypt parliament in support of the ongoing opposition rallies side sadat from the american university in cairo believes and now their uprising could be imminent as as honest president hasn't delivered on his promises president one is not the only thing the objectives of the evolution two he was consolidating his own group at the expense of the national interests of the country and also defend that if if the top if they remain silent until he is four years egypt would become like somalia or sudan there are a lot of fields that egypt will be theirs actionable will show that is going to be

hijacked like what happened in the hearing of lucian islamists who want the society to sleep and stay put and do not intervene and lives and do what they want the who spring is about calling into account the government and now the feel they have to call the account the president because of the one you will deliver what people expect. well here on r t well as want to know what you think on the stories that we cover and today on our website we are asking you how the future of egypt will pan out let's now take a look at how those of you who already voted let us know their ideas so as you can see the majority of the respondents think that morsi will suppress the opposition and only seven percent so far separates those who think that military coup will bring stability from those things that. the country is in for a political catastrophe a small minority things though that morsi will step down and will bark officials

will be taking over will do let us know what you think by logging on to r.t. dot com. what happened to the arab spring dream days egypt's first freely elected president bring any change fear poverty economic failure and violence remain egypt's attempt to escape chaos leaves blowing deeper. egypt. chaos. you have these uses it's also a tissue crime i would even say authoritarian mouth hands like spying and persecution and restrictions and definite detentions being on the rise how do you explain these paradox one thing we do know about them pi is this stuff they will collapse without exception the street is brutally sealed dockside.

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 abuse is related to employees writing checks for big purchases which later bounced due to accounts being empty your. 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 i.r.s. 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.

hello welcome to all the parts you know that continue cities around the globe live from the land of the free but what we should. still remains unanswered to this epidemic joined by we all we can be found there on the baby's body thank you very much we i'm sorry now first of all i would like to ask a question about shame i know that one of the reasons you and named your party the pirate party was because some of your critics really tried to put you to shame and i guess to undermine what you were doing at the time and i think in the coverage of this no than a fair shaming and ad hominem attacks a very very prominent we've already heard all sorts of supposedly compromising details about his personal life that he hasn't finished high school that his former

girlfriend was a stripper and so on rather than focusing on the substance of his revelations why is that anything. that is very typical when a scandal like this surfaces rather than trying to answer the questions. very much raised by snowden's revelations about what the united states is actually up to. the. surveillance hawks in the united states and the security apparatus is doing everything it can to divert the attention from what's really important here and instead talk about the persian details of edward snowden what is it issue is that the united states has been betraying the trust of pretty much the entire world now once i think what do you think he thought significant about his revelations because in the words of one commentator we haven't really learned anything that we didn't.
