protests rage in egypt reports of at least four people dead and dozens injured as supporters and opponents of the president clash amid calls for morsi to step down. european states are outraged at the u.s. placing a trade pact in jeopardy after the latest leaks from n.s.a. whistleblower snowden show america has been bugging tapping and cyber monitoring the e.u. offices. meanwhile snowden is still stranded in a moscow airport with ecuador pointing to russia to decide his fate while the kremlin says the n.s.a. leaker's case is not on its agenda at all.

from our studios in moscow this is our team shawn thomas glad to have you with us and we begin with egypt where the latest reports indicate 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 morsi step down offices of the muslim brotherhood and freedom and justice party have been attacked across the country artie's a bill true has details from cairo. we're seeing violent scenes there rockets across the country during nationwide demonstrations against president obama mostly on the first anniversary of his term in office three have died in the southern governor it's overseas i would pull simply a antigovernment protests was attacked by a drive by shooting to come down the train protesters he also had another reports

of a death in betty street meanwhile back in the capital we've got a clashes happening outside the missing brotherhood main head school today so apparently hundreds of people turned up at the building attacked it with money talks on rocks and there were only in fact had to intervene at throwing take acid because if it's a clear then the military for their products said a few things going they did not once you get involved in politics however if situations did become bloody they would have to step in the police could have gone a new way to be seen by being on the streets or they have seen a single police officer they on securing the buildings we had reports that said president obama knows he has a left in the capital. for security reasons as these protests continue and potentially violence escalate through the evening hundreds of thousands all from texting and chanting against the president's here they came here today to cool for him to resign and this was an overnight by

a grassroots initiative among those really the rebel cuchulainn to economics to gather twenty two million signatures they say looming for the ounce of the president's resoundingly chance here which means leave all 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 their promise saying they don't want to have any more dialogue and that this is a make or break moment however that the president does have a base of support he she is a group of islamist parties who are backing the president including the muslim brotherhood's freedom and justice party they say the for. as it was democratically elected three fair elections the country chose him and therefore the only way to relieve him from the base is to the budget box they have slammed groceries campaigns like tomorrow as thugs and in equal time have said that a lot of these protests and not just cements and they don't represent the voice of the country the president in his pa said he would have signed up with the

opposition to cool down protest is not to be findings we're really seeing here is a defined egypt he knows he was opposing 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 at these episodes of finding it's very difficult to see what this is going to end parties belcher reporting for us there from cairo now political activist ahmed naguib who spoke to us from cairo said that morsi is now paying for the numerous promises he made during the arab spring and hasn't kept . for the people the statement is regardless of the political process it's people's will that is outs and that will be here against anyone who think they can hijack this revolution merci never consider any of his promises made even his own elections program so that people you know rooting for him is no mean don't find it because he's never been those promises that he came to any good and reelections this he came through a revolution and he did not respect that revolution the one thing that the other

thing is that i would like to see very much a unified none fragmented opposition that can negotiate with a cutting government a smooth transition and at peace with one it's very imperative that the muslim brotherhood realize that. going to go anywhere and that they really need to rethink their strategies and transition smoothly and give up the powers because there's no talk about credibility and legitimacy with almost any time nation out on the streets what we want to know what you think as always we're asking you online and our to dot com how the situation in egypt will develop let's take a look at how that is panning out so far right now numbers are changing a little bit through the night but in blue forty one percent of the more jordi of you say that morsi will rule as a dictator and suppress the opposition then thirty one percent next group down in pink say that the government will collapse and there will be

a political catastrophe on their hands there in egypt twenty one percent and gold say that there will be a military coup and it will bring stability to the country and then a small bit little tiny sliver seven percent in green saying that they believe that morsi will step down in fact and former mubarak officials will then take over power and you can have your say online and catch up with all the latest information in live pictures from egypt's tahrir square at r.t. dot com. what happened to the arab spring dream. first freely elected president any change fear poverty economic failure and violence remain egypt's attempts to escape chaos leaves blowing even deeper. egypt year in chaos. now the n.s.a. spying scandal continues to grow fueled by fresh leaks from edward snowden revelations of european union offices being of the target of u.s.

snooping have set alarm bells ringing across the block with its leaders demanding an explanation from washington now berlin continues to express its anger with the u.s. spying with germany's justice minister slamming washington for cold war tactics putting a bilateral free trade pact in jeopardy there now the head of the e.u. parliament described the situation as a huge scandal pointing out the necessity of a thorough investigation now the belgian prime minister called for an immediate stop to n.s.a. surveillance program and luxembourg foreign minister said the u.s. should monitor its own spies rather than snoop on its allies moving to his french counterpart he said that paris wants an answer from washington as soon as possible artie's peter all of us has been following the story and has more for us. 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 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 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 the booking of 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 in computer hacking and having your premises bugged by the n.s.a.

now one interesting part of this article says it 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 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're watching you indeed are g.'s peter all of our reporting for us there now activist russ bartsch from the code pink movement in berlin says the u.s. has reasons to spy on germany more heavily than other european states. i think the

larger concern is keeping. some political control over germany because the united states has very important military assets and 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 report 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 the latest leak comes on the heels of revelations about the so-called prism program washington used to collect massive amounts of data from all over the world which it says was used to foil terror plots and improve national security but as artie's eating a gluco reports the real terrorists may be out of reach from 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 under web none of these resources in that realm are actually indexed by the major search engines and 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 then she'll 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 this or not have brothers they have turned to one of the war no radical sources sometimes referred to as the vanity fair of al qaida

although 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 emails well if you are outside the u.s. how do you know if your online data is going to be gathered closely examined by prism while going door to dot com to find out how the u.s. agency decides 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 to ecuador not to grant asylum to snowden but they cannot do it yet anyway because he's on ecuadorian territory. moscow though insists

that they will not be discussing what to do with the thirty year old anytime soon parties to bang as more of the whistleblowers journey so far but names and snowden twenty nine years old as soon as edward snowden revealed himself as the whistle 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 the 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 day so we took off 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 most wanted men into heroes for some and 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 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 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 because snowden things have moved beyond mere rhetoric that 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 weeklies will snowden from

the ecuadorian embassy in london was not authorized meanwhile the mystery continues as to snowden's 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 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 coming up later in the program us president barack obama might have expected a cordial reception as he tours the african continent but he was greeted by angry crowds as washington's cutbacks in aid have led to disillusionment for many south

africa. plus the ongoing instability in afghanistan casts a shadow on u.s. taliban negotiations. they with us to find out how far away the sides are from reaching a compromise. choose your language. we can with no intervention going to stay still some of. us choose the fumes the consensus can. choose the opinions that you think are great to . choose the stories that impact the life choose me access to often. obama's africa the u.s. president's trip to this continent is criticized by some as too little too late indeed washington continues to be seen by many operations as

a source for outside democracy promotion and the creepy militarization of the continent obama's calling card has always been hope but is he green much hope for. and welcome back you're watching our t.v. . u.s. president barack obama has pledged to seven billion dollars to combat frequent power blackouts in sub-saharan africa this comes as the american leader is on the second leg of his three nation tour to the african continent to boost trade ties however obama's trip has been marred by protests in south africa riot police fired

rubber bullets and stun grenades into angry crowds berger ahead of his saturday visit to the city there were more demonstrations against american foreign policy in other cities across the country as well american aid to africa has been cut severely. meanwhile washington has built up its military presence on the continent . and. organizer of the. protests across africa says america's only approach to resolving conflict is through violence. to let it be to be a friend as long as you don't hold accountable in terms of its actions elsewhere in the increasing demming troops as they see the continent for as i'm concerned it's up to the government is supposed to be opposed to them and so it doesn't ceased in terms of the. interest is that must conclude that african countries must be able to be independent in their war on terror if he has to say he knows that conflict. has

to follow through a negotiated process and that's the biggest lesson of the countries intraday obama and his administration and many of his successes bhushan the rest of them. and the case in point is the no bomb accompanying so many progressive organizations is opposed to precisely the ways in which the united states thinks of. letting this military presence has to do with but it's nice to be them. well just a taste of what we have our website. despite told peace talks between the two koreas remain. on line military units on the border with the south. for the full story. a. computer game that could land

a teenager in jail for eight years even though he did say he was just joking. for all of the details. this week british prime minister david cameron visited kabul following a recent policy shift towards the. afghan president hamid karzai said. the presidential palace would not prevent the negotiation process from going ahead washington is preparing for a troop drawdown in two thousand and fourteen amid ongoing instability in the nation that many believe was caused by the u.s. itself spoke to one man who has had personal experience in dealing with a taliban journalist who was kidnapped by the insurgent group and held captive for forty eight days while reporting in afghanistan in two thousand and eight he believes the militant organization will not compromise. originally we went into afghanistan solely to destroy to dismantle to destroy if you will the taliban government and to destroy the al qaeda this war has morphed into has evolved into

a war against the taliban the taliban as the military will tell you are on the ascendancy they are not losing they're willing to they're willing to continue to go forward all been announced proclaiming to the world that they are a sovereign nation by calling themselves islamic emirate of afghanistan that they will not negotiate as long as any troops are left any foreign troops are left in afghanistan so how do you say you're going to win if you're going to leave and you haven't won the war so you have two governments you know the government of afghanistan and in the eyes of the world this is a separate government of the taliban the president of afghanistan and the people do not want this. so take a swing around the world to look at some other international news making headlines this hour a fresh string of attacks across iraq has killed fifteen people including nine in a bombing at a football pitch in the capital most of the victims there were boys under the age

of sixteen violence also struck central iraq with shootings in four different cities iraq is in the midst of its deadliest wave of violence since the end of the country's civil conflict in two thousand and eight with fears sectarian charged bloodshed could continue to escalate more than two thousand people have been killed in. by attacks and fighting in iraq since the start of a full. in saudi arabia seven cyber activists have been sentenced to between five and ten years in prison they were arrested a year and a half ago for allegedly urging protests via social media although several of them personally didn't participate in the written mold some of the defendants are claiming that they were even tortured to make them sign false confessions while in prison trial customers. demonstrators clashed with police near maracana stadium in a rio de janeiro during the final game of the confederations cup in brazil protesters hold a rocks at authorities who responded with tear gas and stun grenades people are

angry about the billions of dollars the brazilian government is spending on hosting global sporting events while social problems plagued the country putting high crime like high taxes and increasing transportation fair. to people have been killed as gunmen attacked a prison in the southern nigerian town of a coup or and use explosives to free one hundred seventy five inmates islamist sect boko haram and al qaeda linked group ansaru have been behind several prison raids in recent years but is not yet clear whether they were behind this jailbreak or whether they had any members being held there at all. croatia has joined the european union after a decade of negotiations and at a time of financial crisis for the bloc thousands of people joined celebrations across the country but some residents say they are uncertain what benefits

membership will bring prices are almost the same as it in france and germany and italy as well but the average croatian income is nowhere near what people take home in those other countries frazier's economy needs a huge injection to fund. of funds rather to kick started sailing industries including agriculture shipping and construction. this week saw the first piece of russia's revamped navy take 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 the entire vessel will be fully assembled. was at the milestone launch for moscow and paris. because you think. 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 vessels the section built here will soon had to france 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 the new ship or rather on this section of a new ship it's still a big day for a big ship law on the 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 equivalent of a single trip around the entire globe and what's even maybe more important it is a multipurpose vessel if the. 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 and it's a headquarters it would be great for each of our four sleeps 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 got 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 last warships will not be able to operate in russia spuyten 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 shipbuilders in business more important now than ever because of the ongoing eurozone debt crisis while russia gets a warship that will consider. 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 has to weather this one deal will lead to closer ties with paris most will simply have to wait to see which way

the wind blows. not seen st petersburg. well up next we have the story of a surgeon who was forced to work on the side of terrorists that's after the break here to. south carolina's 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 drug 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 a v. 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 scene like a bit of a shoe thing to me but that's just my opinion. on

. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are all today. police be told language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on all t.v. reporting from the world talks about seventy odd p. interviews intriguing stories for you to. see in trying. to find out more visit our big dog all teeth dog called.

i believe clay is the perfect material it's alive. working with the demands persuasion. 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 over try to figure out what it looks like then the image comes to you. when i'm operating it is. the moment i make that first incision. when i. touch the tissue i can feel the patients carry through my hands i can sense the person very well. my life has changed a hundred percent. for four years.

all i saw an awful blood. and mutilated bodies. are not the same for some that i was before the second chechen war i have an absolutely different outlook now nothing surprises me anymore. from either my last name a spy of my first name is her son i come from. a small village in the czech republic in a plastic surgeon didn't need medicine as a fight to measure already during the war i had to perform surgery an appalling conditions if i had to fight for its life.

over those two years i operated on four thousand six hundred people but during the second war i literally had no time to keep a record. but i know i did at least twice as many. of the worst thing now is that we badly need more specialist in chechnya because so many people left during the war. in europe now. many people wait and hope that i will come and operate on them for free. will she then allowed an eleven. and i'm going to call her yes as she was crossing the street on the road on the road. what year was that it was ninety ninety five we've waited and waited for you know but we couldn't find you close your eyes were just here and yes that. can be

removed. now you won't see it until you can remove it yeah. you would interest in chechnya today there is so many children and adults of coles who need to be given corrective surgery after the war. over what for me. i'm afraid to turn on myself and. there's no telling what's going to happen. i have

to delete fifty six texts at once now i have another thirty six new ones the phones out of memory. the great finds work and word is spreading. i just don't know my husband's sister studied with. she's known him for many years and she knows he said good man and a good surgeon and so she suggested i turn to him. and i just know that. well you got here ok. what a pretty top knot you have. of course this is a little complicated. they came from the south and. i first saw them about six months ago. i told them they were going to have to wait

because there wasn't enough to show yet you for your kind now because. of course when parents interest those tiny fragile bodies into your care it's a huge sense of responsibility. to use like geometry numbers and we start by marking out the incision lines as a guide to your future and then we begin to come out to try and restore a normal form initially which it's very intricate work. you need very sensitive hands like

a surgeon you could say. when you get to work you study the material figure out what it looks like. clay it's like skin. smooth when it's too late for and then it gets older and starts to sweat out salt which then dries it up and then eventually it cracks and it's. this goes back in two thousand and nine movie of the year for me in the west when i was driving through stuff or mystical about two hundred kilometers from the city there's a chain. yup and it mainly stumps me. the police officer took one look at my passport and said so how's your home village doing. and said one. hundred. he said

he'd been a mercenary in chechnya. as a grain silo there he said that big ten are. still there i told him i'm a good. while he said we will post on top of it i'm shooting down in the village and when the sub org said we'll talk about it let's go about doing it and that village. was a crazy doctor it was or how is it possible he sent for him to set that night and day you mean operating under fire. service when it was over the first ball there's a new bullet and we had no doubt the be a second. when . i had a mini van i used it as an ambulance. i took out all the seats opened up the back and put in mattresses that's how i transported the injured to here. i was the only

doctor of five villages who. i thought to myself who i worked with this morning. i soon learned that out of ten doctors. i was the only one left along with a nurses. we had nothing at all. no hold water no heat no electricity. and shell fragments rained down on our heads. windows were blocked up with sandbags the were no windows. and this was the operating theater and the walls were scarred by shrapnel but it would have been once a field operating table here. just

a very small table. with more than i do usually go and get a battery from a car when he was there. what i thought was as long as i had a flashlight and a working battery and i had a good enough environment to work and. we had none of the proper surgical instruments we needed. we performed amputations with a simple metal hand saw each and used a hand drill for craniotomy. and of course every day was horrific in its own way rush. that arm with the most horrific day of all of course was when i was in a state of shock. that was in two thousand. four thousand people walked across the minefield. that one hundred ninety of them were left on the minefield they all died and three hundred people were brought to my hospital. i knew what she was among them along with other terrorist leaders but i am peter age and his right leg he

lost a lot of blood from his pupils were dilated and his blood pressure was fifty over forty. yeah we went to the same school i make no secret of it i've never hidden the fact we played football together we spent ten years at the same school board. i'm not the almighty i can't predict what the future might hold for. no dust or

anywhere else north or. it's not my role to judge whether one person is go to the other battle what they might do i just don't have that right. they have to deal with their own conscience. i have no regrets i would regret it if i hadn't stayed and done what i did during the war when i saved lives. well we're looking for sometimes when i visit my village you know maybe for

a funeral. other times. just to see friends. yes. when i try. to avoid going. near the hospital. or pollution because. you know i think what happened here. no matter how much time passes. it will was going to freshen my memory.

you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for langley you think you understand it and then you limp something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. much. to. me it is easy to. me. means. it's.

so.

it was back in two thousand and gerry the fair friend. which a little else and at that moment a tank shell exploded. like this father died just torn to shreds. and he was badly wounded a miracle he said.
