channels is not going to work and is not going to protect the public or the whistleblower it makes no difference if the government feels threatened they will attack you you yourself were subject to really harsh crackdown from the government i mean even the alter of the patriot act those that he said that he never intended it to be used in the way that it is now i mean what do you think when you're looking at everything that's happened over the last decade did you foresee it ever getting to where it's gone and how pervasive it's because i was the second arab american ever indicted on the patriot act and the patriot act has criminalized dissention it says that sedition is the act of opposing the government through nonviolent means has become such a threat that free speech itself is now criminalized by the patriot act and i think we're going to see the patriot act applied to many more people. were

you ever seen anything like that. russia's prime minister has demanded a list of those responsible for a space rocket crashing because i start on tuesday morning seconds after takeoff the unmanned rocket fell to the ground and the exploded within the by going to co-sponsor of it was carrying three satellites manned for russians and global navigation system they also use much you know culture gave the full details to my colleague. it was indeed to rather shocking morning for those at the baikonur cosmodrome this this morning and as you can see here there is to be a russian project on rocket which was carrying three galon asset lights now it went out of control moments into launch and then the main part of the rocket just a ruptured end to a massive fireball and then the smaller parts of the rocket just crashed onto and
8:11 am
then habitat's area so clearly it was a massive accident and surely it would be followed by some environmental impact is while you talk about environmental impact also i suppose the risk to human safety you know you talk about the baikonur cosmodrome if you will where the spectators stud is about two or so kilometers away from the launch pad a good safe distance however with a rock at this shooting up into into the sky at a very very high speed exploding during the launch what kind of dangers does that pose well it post some dangerous of course and experts say that in total it was carrying over six hundred tons of fuel not to mention of course the toxic fuel and the sad lies that it was carrying together whether it now but while reaching the earth if you will mostly vaporized but still and create is a cloud of dangerous pollutants now that information of course was getting the story it is quite worried and there were even fears of
8:12 am
a possible evacuation as clearly it is a troubling in whatever sense well i mean we know the latest reports are from the baikonur cosmodrome down the ca's extent the weather is clear there are no high winds of the bombers there's no concern right now of some sort of a toxic pollutant cloud disposing over the area but when it comes to the russian space program typically it's used to a big line of successes however when it comes to this proton rocket this failure is not the first time it's happened andy said that isn't did not as of. this type off a rocket now the program has suffered a number of failures and the past. two and a half years now in particular back in two thousand and another three navigation satellites were lost in the pacific ocean due to the rocket launch failure than in two thousand and eleven here i'm talking about the failure of that progress rocket so clearly some failures but they all come with huge financial losses now the
8:13 am
launch rockets cost somewhere around one hundred million dollars an expert say that the failure of it could have up to two hundred million dollars and last and these are huge bigger that's why that is a price tag million or one hundred million dollars last thing you talk about the three global floods i mean i have no idea how much they're worth each piece of being lost in the tip of this new proton rocket you see the one thing i do know is that the russian space agency has been restructuring certain levels of its employees expectations when this blame game begins and it has going to roll exactly well the russian space agency has been changing quite significantly and the past couple of years well we've seen resignations with seeing people being fired and in particular back at the end of two thousand and twelve the hands of russian space systems and he was actually leading the glow on a project that he resigned following really a massive corruption scandal then also and the same two thousand and twelve at the
8:14 am
height of the main constructing center also resigned following a failure a nother rocket launch so clearly what we are observing right now is some massive restructuring process within the agency but again the most important thing is really to get to the bottom of what happened this morning at the baikonur cosmodrome baikonur and it's a big loss this morning a three global board approach on rocket launched today as the rocket lost its trajectory and exploded over the policies within a culture of i think you. and you can visit our website for more details about the proton rocket crash as well as a timeline of previous space accidents and still ahead for you here on our c french foreign legion marine le pen's been stripped of her immunity afforded to her as an m.e.p. . and with a decision paving the way by her prosecution of friends. praying muslims on the

enough he must go there all remains of the army will be deployed to the streets in the growing violence a number of the muslim brotherhood this is the group that the president has from their headquarters to be attacked by a bombed run site you see deadly clashes between those in support the president of those who are against the president leading many to many deaths and injuries across the country to really what we're seeing here is a lot of tension and further violence on the rise and meanwhile just a few kilometers from where i'm standing there is a protest in support of the president happening right now they say that the president was democratically elected and therefore he should not be from office and less through the ballot box at the end of his term this is largely spearheaded by mr brotherhood because the president's hails from the spokesperson of the brotherhood said last night they reject all calls for early presidential elections and they asked their members to mobilize and come to the streets you certainly seen running in support of the president yesterday and across the country we expect more on the horizon with this deepening rift nine the site backing down with little

automatic to take his place not least because the constitutional court would invalidated the elections to the parliament so that we have a very very difficult situation as only one person with any kind of democratic legitimacy that's the president and his own legitimacy is now under attack from huge crowds in the streets from the army and the police who refuse to defend himself and his party but whoever comes to power or if most a statement it's difficult to see that the basic problems of great poverty would lend her sources coming into the country terrible problems of boat paying for the import of vital resources including food those can easily be resolved whoever is in power. palin has been stripped of her right to legal immunity as an m.e.p. exposing her to a possible trial of the racist challengers the decision follows a request by a court any almost three years after she was accused of inciting racial hatred for

comparing muslim street prayers to the occupational frons by german nazis in a recent interview to pen said she's been hunted for quite some time for expressing abuse something no one would dare do in paris and brussels. so truth is censorship reigns in france and we are hunted down in all circumstances because we express an opinion that is different from the one way track of thinkings developed by the european union and also by the socialist party in the right wing parties in france have been hunted down for saying i think it's not normal that prayers should be allowed to take place right in the middle of the street blocking traffic it was a territorial occupation that is unacceptable it's the law and yes i'm being hunted down for having said this it's not a big deal it's a source of pride for me to be hunted down by the system. more than. do you feel
8:22 am
less secure because of that nor should resign but most no i don't feel any less safe but still it shows that although france earns a lot of time preaching freedom to the entire world it should probably deal with its own issues for. peace in syria is not will the west ones that's according to iran's ongoing president mahmoud ahmadinejad in an exclusive interview to us he had told us some powers were in the conflict in syria to spread all across the middle east to reach an. are there for the one in libya or egypt in syria there are conflicts in all the regional countries so nobody's paying attention to israel so they can rest easy the second thing is that under the pretext of the syrian question they want the crisis to spread out to neighboring countries to iran to lebanon and to turkey because they want to affect the whole region they want a new middle east. and you can watch the full interview with president mahmoud ahmadinejad or twenty thirty g.m.t. that's in our new show sophie co with sophie shevardnadze. now
