was and. it was. protests rage in egypt reports of at least four people dead and dozens injured as supporters and opponents of the president clash amid furious calls for morsi to step down. europe's outraged at the u.s. with a key trade pact under threat fresh leaks from the n.s.a. whistleblower snowden to show america has been bugging tapping and cyber monitoring e.u. officials. now meanwhile snowden is still stranded at a moscow airport with ecuador pointing out of russia to decide his fate while the kremlin says the n.s.a. leaker's case is not in its agenda at all.

so good to have you with us this evening i'm lucy couched in open you're watching our tease weekly show right here on our network. well we begin with egypt where the latest reports indicate that four protesters have been killed in clashes between opponents and supporters of president mohamed morsi the army estimates that millions have taken to the streets across the country with the opposition demanding that morsi step down will artie's bell true is in cairo for us bell how volatile is the situation at the moment i see those fireworks behind you. well we're seeing violent scenes a ruckus across the country during nationwide demonstrations against president obama mostly on the first anniversary of his term in office he just had reports

that three have died in the southern governor it's over seats i reportedly a.n.c. government protest was attacked by a drive by shooting to come down the train protesters he also had another reports of a death in betty street again down south in a government web i am anti government a protest was attacked by on many statements that people believed to be a time to pull cities of the president meanwhile back in the capital we got to clashes happening outside the missing brotherhood main fence could change of course and the president failed to misbehave here in the capital apparently hundreds of people turned up at the building attacked it with money talks on the rocks and there were only in fact had to intervene tearing take us through the crowd to feed to clear them the military for their cause and said a few days ago they do not once you get involved in politics however if situations did become bloody they would have to step in the police could have bought

a new way to be seen by being on the streets or they have seen a single police officer they on securing the buildings however peaceful protests are still continuing from here where i'm standing from the presidential palace in kabul you can see behind me hundreds of thousands all for the chechens chanting against the president's here they came here today to cool for him. she resigned and this was organized by a grassroots initiative the motto it's really the reading you cool to eat money she gathered twenty two million signatures they say winning for the ounce of the president's resoundingly chance here which means leave old gets out so people here are waving the red cards like a football pitch a symbolism that they want the president to step down the opposition process for their cause saying they don't want to have any more dialogue and that this is a make or break moment they want president nominated to resign and the people will stay here in these protests until he does and belle i'm curious about the other

opposition the supporters of president mohamed morsi who of course are also rallying today do you see the same sort of enthusiasm on their part and also given the fact that morsy won with fifty one percent of the vote i mean how deeply entrenched are these divisions. absolutely the president just announced a base of supporters they are currently holding an open ended sit in just a few kilometers away from where i am in a mosque in cairo they have cleaned that protest to dismiss he is a red line he says oh can i spy a coalition police on the coalition which is a group of islam is parties who are backing the president including the muslim brotherhood's freedom and justice party they say the president was democratically elected three fair elections the country cherry same image for the only way to remove him from office is through the budget books they have slammed broad streets campaigns like tomorrow is drugs and illegal and have said that a lot of these protests and not just cements and they don't represent the voice of the country the president for his part said he would have signed up with the

opposition he cooled on protesters not to be violent and we're really seeing here is a divided egypt in those who are supporting the president and those who are against the president neither side is willing to back down and really the tensions are rising which is why we're seeing these episodes of finding it's very difficult to see where this is going to end right where all t's true keeping us up to date there thanks for that update meanwhile middle eastern alist hugh miles who is also in cairo right now he says egypt may be heading towards another revolt. where all of my used by the ball is the crowd. which is i think the biggest yet throughout this long listening i want to say this is a little miss pressure on the muslim brotherhood to stand out which morsi says he has no intention of doing so i will see how many he will stay in this. and whether the people of protests push the system like they did under mubarak in which case in

a matter of weeks we might see morsi has no other choice but the first step down this completely on show territory and the fact is there is not much more time to sit to president morsi to meet and he didn't win the election on the rule and muslim brotherhood is one of the only well because that is specious in this country . he did stand and it will be very unclear who would run the country presumably the all me in a short time at least they've been running the country so much time since revolution in two thousand and eleven and they want you to ride which raises the question is egypt beyond governance can anyone fix full problems in this country. let's get more on a situation in egypt right now from political activist. peter is us live from cairo sir we are receiving reports of course of street violence not just from the capital

now you were at the protests yourself what do you personally want to see out of these protests. first of all let me tell you that today is a very important day in the history of the arab spring. the people statement is regardless of the political process it's people's word that is alex and that will rule against anyone who think they can hijack this revolution now the other thing is that i would like to see very much a unified numb fragmented opposition that can negotiate with a cutting government a smooth transition and at peace with one it's very important that the muslim brotherhood realize that we're going to go anywhere and that they really need to rethink their strategy and transition smoothly and give up the powers because there's no talk about credibility and legitimacy with almost any time ation out on

the streets of the nation is certainly out on the streets we do see the images right there but that at the same time mohamed morsi was democratically elected granted with fifty one percent of the vote i mean when you look at these cycles ok mubarak has gone now people on the streets to get rid of morsi when does this cycle stop isn't there concern about stability for egypt. first of will the muslim brotherhood did not just win any elections they won the elections not because of people support for their own program but because they did not want the former g.m. to take over that's one thing i want people voted the brotherhood and the present musi they voted in for specific programs and for promises that he made with the opposition and the rest of the revolutionary movements at the family hotel just before the second round and was. happen is that he metaphors or any of his promises never even his own elections program so that people's you know voting for him as there is no mending valid because he's never been those promises that he came to

any early reelections this he came through a revolution and he did not respect the revolution that put them there but at the same time that revolution took place about a year ago and now is a year enough to judge of the man i mean he didn't inherit a country that's economically battered a whole host of problems do you think that perhaps more time is needed to before jumping to conclusions about morsi success or failure. will thing is that mercy knew what he was heading into and that of the revolutionary movements on opposition every disappear he had. many of this there's been a cases of those advantages from the commitments you were capable and competent he did not listen to them when he issued the temporary declaration in december and ten resignations was the result of got him incompetent members of his party and there's a there's that he's a complete failure and the government's functions if he thinks about the deep state

being in continuing what we carry through doing that he needed to those institutions and now he failed because he let the people ship it throughout the precious certainly one voice representing of the opposition their political activist often met in agave thank you so much for your time sir. thank you my pleasure and here at r.t. we're asking you to come to our online poll at r.t. dot com and weigh in on what you think the outcome of this unrest in egypt will be now for those of you who are actually already one on one and voted let's see how the results of broken down now forty three percent right here that's the majority so far believe that president morsi will actually align with the military and actually suppress the protest rule as a dictator now about thirty percent of you in the purple right there believe that the country is in for. a political contacts trophy twenty one percent of you in there are and i think that the military coup could perhaps bring stability and a small tiny fraction believe that morsi here it is six percent will step down with

former mubarak officials potentially taking power and of course we are not done tallying these figures you can still head on to our web site r.t. dot com and cast your ballot. for the arab spring dream. first freely elected president any change here poverty can only failure and violence remain egypt's attempt to escape chaos is what we are. egypt i hear it chaos. well from egypt to an international scandal the n.s.a. spying scandal continues to grow fueled by 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 an explanation from washington and we heard from several people including germany's justice minister she believes that the u.s.

has used cold war tactics indicating that a free trade pact with the united states could now be in jeopardy meanwhile the head of the e.u. parliament described the situation as a huge scandal now he believes more information is needed from their washington allies the belgian prime minister has called for an immediate halt to the n.s.a. surveillance program while luxembourg's foreign minister has said that the united states should watch its own spies instead of snooping on its allies now his french counterpart wants an answer from washington as soon as possible. meanwhile germany is washington's main target in the e.u. that is at least according to the latest reports which show that it could be to an even larger extent than previously believed now around half a billion phone calls emails text messages and chapped transcripts are being monitored by the n.s.a. every single day that's according to those leaks now earlier i had a chance to interview an intelligence expert by the name of dr. about the snooping

scandal and he told me it's all about the money. spying between friends between allies it's not absolutely new we have the group off into some incident to solve one from the european parliament that we've had it came up it was to be discussed but then came september eleventh. and that was a new issue from that moment on the intelligence service that we need there we need to spy on allies this is just to protect you against terrorism you just mentioned terrorism but i mean these aren't these kind of koreans can cooperate openly on terrorism they don't have to spy for terrorist purposes exactly you're absolutely right so this is spying for economical reasons mainly it is economical espionage as it might seem to steal national secrets from companies to to destroy jobs and to import jobs to their own countries so what the americans would

like to do is to destroy jobs in countries like germany in countries like france there too the reality of what we do with the public is just to say hello it is the chinese to spy for economical reasons because the russian state is south korea or whatever but in reality a lot because ana beyond the united states is the united kingdom so its allies spying against. well the latest leak comes on the heels of revelations about the so-called prism program washington of course has used the decline to massive amounts of data from all across the world which it says was used to foil terror plots not to mention improve national security but as our genes are reports the true terrorists may be out of reach of the snooping software. 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 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 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 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 innocent people's e-mails of course if you're outside of the united states how do you know if you're online data is going to be gathered and closely examined by the president program well you can log onto our t dot com to find out how the u.s. agency actually decides when to use its digital magnifying glass abroad. ecuador's president meanwhile says that snowden's fate is out of his hands and that the whistleblowers next move to spend on what russia does now the u.s. vice president joe biden has urged ecuador not to grant asylum to snowden but they can't do it yet anyway because he's not an ecuadorian territory he's stuck in the moscow airport and moscow meanwhile insist that they will not be discussing what to do with a thirty year old anytime soon at least according to public statements before a look back at the whistleblowers joining thus far here's artes to bang let's say

winnings and snowden twenty nine years old as soon as edward snowden revealed himself as the whistle of a woman 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 the 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 to me to go without it so we could beat it to a twelve hour plus flight that was essentially a waste of time the global public city had turned one of america's voice wanted men into heroes for some to others 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 back 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 u.s. hong kong and us china bilateral relations. that's 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 but countries move to scrap 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 leaks 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 with added pressure from the u.s. also in 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 it can't come forward against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies. completely free from risk to bungle day r.t. moscow of course who got more stories ahead for you this hour including a cool welcome in south africa we follow president obama's trip there which has been overshadowed by angry protests they want us to watch marty.

they were ready to do anything for their country. is to love the country more than yourself if you join the military for any other reason that you're probably not going to have a good day they were in the state now they live remembering the past which is impossible to get rid of. the war. but our ever good people get hurt. hurt good people empty silent. but would prefer not to be sometimes i feel like. i should have died over there.

i saw some people who had to. be there is cheaper than therapy. on our. welcome back i'm lucy catherine of president obama has pledged seven billion dollars to fix pretty frequent power blackouts in the sub-saharan africa area and that the big promise comes as the u.s. leader tours the african continent in order to boost ties however obama's trip has been tainted by protests in south africa there riot police have fired stun grenades from the first angry crowds here in johannesburg get ahead of his saturday visit to the city hundreds were gathering for demonstrations against u.s. foreign policy in other cities across the country earlier as well now protesters have shown frustration with what they called unfulfilled promises as american aid

to africa has been cut while the military presence in the region has increased and sandy and low-z. the organizer of the obama protest across africa says that america's only opposed to resolving conflict he believes is more violence. the to be a friend as long as you don't hold it accountable in terms of its actions and the increasing presence in the country and. government is supposed to be opposed to the . us it doesn't assist in terms of the. african countries must be able to be independent. if he has to. that conflict. has to follow through and. the biggest lesson of the country's intra day obama and his administration and many of. the rest of them.

and the case in point. is opposed to precisely the ways in which the united states thinks of. military presence has to do with. not only on air but online as well here's just a little taste of what we've got cooking for you on our web site. once a country of traditional values the united kingdom is now breaking this stereotype by allowing husband and wife to officially trade places what does that mean i don't know let's head over to our twitter com to figure it out. yet another click away on line a sarcastic comment or eight arabs want violent threats over a computer game could land this teenager in jail for eight years this even though he says that he was just joking more details on the story for you at our t.v. dot com. this week saw the first piece of russia's rebound

maybe taking to the seas the stern of a mistral class helicopter carrier built in russia's st petersburg shipyard is now awaiting its trip to france where the whole vessel will be fully assembled but he is worried if an ocean of reports. this strong is the name of a strong man usually cold wind in runs but it might also be a wind of change when it comes to relations with russia and. you. know it. was a very fine run according to the deal signed two years ago this shipyard in st petersburg will play a vital role in the fabrication of buy vessels this section built here will soon had to france for completion before making the return journey to enter the service and russia's navy although there's no champagne available to celebrate here today because a bottle of it was just smashed on the new shape or rather on base section and you

it's still a big day for a big ship as high as a fifteen story building and the rounds two hundred meters long the mistral cost warships have enough capacity to carry sixteen helicopters all. two forty tanks or armored vehicles and around six hundred troops and a range of around forty thousand kilometers the equivalent of 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 critics some of russia's own ship builders complain that frons put a huge order to sort of the mastic shipyards they also say the deal has more political than economic benefits it's just a recently emerged that the two mistrial last 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 but 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 shipbuilders in business more important now than ever because of the ongoing euro zone crisis while russia gets a warship that will 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 one to follow and as to whether this one deal will lead to closer ties with perry's mosco will simply have to wait to see which way the wind blows. st petersburg. now they have survived conflicts in places like iraq and afghanistan and they frequently take

their own lives once they return home we continue our look at the alarming suicide rate of u.s. army veterans in just a few minutes you're watching our team. south carolina is playing around with the idea of using shame plates which are license plates that can display special messages the department of motor vehicles would have complete access to all these plates and be able to display text on them like suspended uninsured amber alert or stolen you know i actually don't mind the idea of using shame as a punishment i guess it could be a real deterrent to have drunken loser written over the license plate of someone who drinks and drives in fact drugged driving plates have been in place in some states for

a while but the problem is that more often than not shame penalties aren't the punishment for a crime but just a bonus one in my native ohio you can go to jail for three to thirty days and have your license suspended for one to three years for driving which is a brutal punishment in a country where everyone drives to work you see people are already punished for drunk driving and in america when you pay your debt to society i.e. you get out of jail you're supposed to have a clean slate but the bonus license plate suspension and possible punishment plates make this a triple sentence ignoring the fact that the government will be able to practically display words on your person like a brand on cattle is bad enough but multiple punishments for the same crime seems like a bit of a she thing to me but that's just my opinion. this is for headaches this is for sleep this isn't trying to lies or to if i have any

episodes xanax can cause blackouts and it's not just. trying to clean up which has been nightmare because. i can't get out of it. and believe it is kind of . right there for me because sometimes i have episodes very i won't be able to. i think something will trigger me and which i'll just keep on working and working and working. for like seventy two hours just so exhausted. and i can take the. show out for. something i very much. like the fridge that you gave me i could have made a lot more money out of it i want to i just it depends on what we're doing but. they kept saying on the news that there were rebuilding iraq you're working to rebuild iraq. i was kind of sick of hearing c.n.n. and fox news like barbie each other.
