off to. whistleblower edward snowden basks in an upsurge of support among americans while we don't poured on one u.s. telecom company that's refusing to yield to government snooping. egypt will soon get a new batch of f. sixteen fighter jets from the united states despite promises through the u.s. assistance program while a poll of egyptians show that its weapons and money do more harm than good. and the u.n. chemical weapons team seps syria's imitation to conduct a fact finding mission in aleppo after russian investigators say they found evidence that the rebels or not the regime had used toxic gas they're.

sending them here in the russian capital thanks for tuning in to our t.v. i mean you see catherine of. well more americans consider edward snowden to be a whistleblower than a traitor a highly cited poll have found that fifty five percent of respondents were sympathetic about what he did well about a third or less forgiving washington as pursuing espionage charges for snowden for leaking details of the n.s.a.'s surveillance systems it's a network that involves almost all u.s. telecom giants but one internet provider is standing firm refusing the n.s.a. is advances and so far managing to get away with it parties kevin owen spoke to the owner of the x. mission company pete ashdown. we have had situations where people inside the attorney general's office sort of slandered my business and said that we're supporting criminals that we absolutely not support criminals we just ask for a proper warrant and that seems to be too much to ask most of the time or the other

issue is that we saw with the n.s.a. . exposure that google. and microsoft and apple and others who are supposedly cooperating. they're probably charging for that privilege so they're making a financial decision to open their networks for inspection by the n.s.a. and it's not worth it to me to do that i don't want to live in a surveillance society and i'd rather stick by what our constitution says that we're protected by we surely i guess the big internet giants are got less to lose that big business is they've got less to fear of my yeah absolutely but it's funny because i've got more to lose i mean i couldn't fight a protracted court battle but i'm willing to do it i'm willing to go to jail to protect my customers from being wholesale the monitor i find it surprising that a company with the resources of google. isn't more circumspect about the information they're giving away and what they're selling it begs the question how long this has been going on in this issue of course

a lot of viewers may be familiar with that i think it's just come out now with regard to snowden and his revelations instead of what you think of him i think he's a hero and i think he's doing the right thing i think it's shameful that he's being treated like a criminal for standing up and reporting what i believe are illegal acts by our government people shouldn't be treated under the espionage act as the obama administration has done so many times to people standing up and believing that what is going on is wrong otherwise we have no recourse to turn our government around the insider threat program president obama's initiatives that mandates all federal employees to start spying on one another is coming under increasing scrutiny and now under the program millions of government workers must watch their colleagues for whistleblowing tendencies and report any suspicions to their superiors as a washington correspondent going into can reports the government's own experts have grave doubts. learned that not only does the u.s. government spy on everybody selleck twenty communications but it also urges

government employees to snitch on each other in fact there is a program in place it's called the inside just like program which is designed to reveal potential whistleblowers before they blow the whistle under this insider threat program millions of federal workers and contractors are instructed to recognize quote indicators of behavior among their colleagues and to report their suspicions to authorities now get this those indicators include an employee's financial problems working hours unexplained travel stress wars for instance and an f.b.i. insider detection guide warns private security personnel and managers to watch for quote a desire to help the underdog or a particular cause james bond want to be a divided loyalty allegiance to another person or company or to a country the size of the united states under such guidelines anybody can potentially be targeted moreover behavioral experts even those working for the

government doubt that the program will work and they say there is no proven scientific basis for these behavioral profiling but what these are just fine program is for to do is to lead to lots of baseless and discriminatory investigations one wonders if this really has any purpose but to create an atmosphere of fear no wonder investigative journalists say their sources have dried up and government officials are afraid to pick up the phone especially now in light of edward snowden's revelations which make it clear everyone is under surveillance this kind of a witch hunt is definitely not something people expected from candidate obama take a listen this is from six years ago i will provide our intelligence and law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to track and take out the terrorists without undermining our constitution and our freedom that means no more illegal wiretapping of american citizens these words perhaps a different future but it seems the u.s. is going back to the mccarthy days with the government urging people to spy on each other. to scare an insider from revealing what they see as the government's

wrongdoings and this we've got one also has to ask the question is there any other way one could learn about the government's wrongdoings done in secrecy all and then from an insider who was termed this the answer is obvious no. david lindorff an editor of an online news website explained why he thinks the program could actually damage the government and its. incredible extension of this stasi like you know the old east german style as the light approach to life in america and at the same time it's a completely inefficient and failed way to try to run a government bureaucracy it's not about national security it's about preventing. people from telling the truth about problems with government about corruption about failed policies and so on and it what it really is is the by many ministration has gone even beyond the nixon administration from the seventy's in its fear of leaks

and its effort to control the story it trying to prevent the press from getting access as to to people inside the government who will tell them through threat what's going on so that all they get is public relations handouts from the government and it's trying to prevent the government from being embarrassed. britain is closing in on its burgeoning legal loan sharks some of which are hitting the poor weather eye watering interest rates of over five thousand percent well here what's being done about that. also starving in sympathy and we speak to a human rights lawyer who has started his very own hunger strike in solidarity with the guantanamo bay prisoners are being subjected to what's described as painful and degrading for speeding. the united states still plans to go through with the delivery of four f.

sixteen fighter jets to egypt in the coming weeks now this despite the egyptian military's removal of president mohamed morsi and now washington has been reluctant to label the egyptian overhaul a cousens that would essentially bars distance to the volatile state well for an update on the situation on the ground in egypt let's cross live now to our correspondent there bell a bell what is the state of play there right now and how is the interim government dealing with the transition so far. well the supporters of ousted leader mohamed morsy remain steadfast they're continuing their city in another city in the capital yesterday they held a symbolic funeral for the dozens killed in violent clashes on monday morning between security forces and members of the sit in they marched from the mosque where this ongoing protest is happening to the presidential palace where they had a kind of standoff with republican guards this comes at a time when there's been an arrest warrant issued for the supreme leader of the

mission brotherhood mohammed a baby for inciting violence on monday the. arrest of any plans for the missing brotherhood's participation in this time here in egypt monday the interim president issued a road map for egypt in the form of a constitutional declaration it said that there would be a new constitution and want. presidential elections within the six months this was rejected by the missing brotherhood and its political party the freedom and justice party. if we agree with them all the way through went for the election when it was the law but it is still that mr what they thought of and then the military would come back in one year to say go home let us repeat everything again start another procedure to start to make this what we are trying to say all the time is not about more sims it is about the values. meanwhile the

u.s. have responded in a manner which doesn't necessarily reflect what commentators are saying here which was this is a military coup if this is labeled as a coup this would affect u.s. assistance to egypt the latest reports are that the us are sending for sixteen fighter jets to egypt in the next few days this is part of a larger package of twenty fighter planes which eight of which were already delivered in january the spokesperson for the white house for his part said that they would it was not in the interests of america to reconsider its package of assistance to egypt although president obama has promised to look into. the plan for american support of egypt in the future all right our parties bill true reporting on the ground live from cairo thank you for that update. well it doesn't look like the egyptian people necessarily are satisfied with the role that the u.s. has played in their homeland over the years now back in may american researchers

had concluded that about eight out of ten egypt sions felt negatively towards the united states was just sixteen percent having a positive attitude towards the country and now when it comes to president obama at least three quarters of people were unhappy with the way that he has handled american foreign affairs they're not that sentimental and strong since the day obama took office back in two thousand and nine egyptians were also pessimistic about their country's dependence on u.s. financial and military aid with that study saying more than half of the population felt that it was harming egypt and the recent coup has done nothing to improve the u.s. image there as artie's policy or reports. i their message is clear they want the army out and more secure but there's another message in between the patriotic china's anger against the west for its sinuses and implicit support for a military coup i just started was i don't want that i was promised the egyptian

street is littered with anti obama posters and each day more new ones appear we set out to find out who's making them and found the this is one of the oldest print shops in cairo in the last two years its printing presses have grind to a halt we found the same in this shop and this one instead of making a killing there on the verge of bankruptcy things have not been going so well since the revolution things were better before we've been so slow for the past three years in that time i only had ten clients asking for posters so who is responsible for the anti american posters i'll search reach to date in but by is up plentiful and hatred against america is growing each year washington gives cairo one point three billion dollars in military aid if america causes a coup it will be forced to stop but many fear the decision to say nothing except that it is reviewing the situation will ultimately backfire and feel hatred towards

the us and i think they may get is this dealing with things in double standard so i would say i might have to give up a woman for mars is. equal to one thousand men standing supporting morsi and for different reasons there is no joy from washington even from the people who want to live in the states how madonna holds both american and egyptian citizenship two months ago he sold up ready to trade cairo for texas he feels washington is too deeply embroiled in internally gyptian politics and pulls the strings from a far i have no problem with american people have problems with american politics which try to interfere. here's the way we want to live and that's not right with washington and its allies refusing to show strong reaction to the recent turbulent events in egypt some feel it's a love hate affair between the two countries. we all

have american friends on the personal relations we are we have the fine this being said you don't expect that somebody you love sort of betrays your will or disappoint shoe or does not understand you or deliberately. is if you truth as the unrest in egypt streets grow many worry the brotherhood now having tried democracy and seen it fail will resort to arms it spells disaster for everyone from the protesters on the streets to the people who just want a quiet life like mohammed in his printing shop all that president obama topically committed himself to saying is that he is deeply concerned by what is happening here in egypt meanwhile the it's no wonder then that posters like this will continue to be popular no matter who put the same policy r t cairo. stay with us you're watching r t more news after

its eighteenth round of negotiations the problem is that these negotiations are being conducted in total secrecy but what's even more worrisome is that what is known reveals that the agreement is really about trade so the t.p. would play it put into place international laws that supersede state sovereignty and in the taishan is to everything from food safety to internet freedoms eleven countries are current signatories to the t p p and most recently japan has announced that it also intends to join watchdog organizations have dubbed the t p p nafta on steroids and it's called the secretive meetings between governments and hundreds of corporate advisors a slow motion coup d'etat on the mocker sea so help me break down why you should care about the t.t.p. and how you can stop it i'm joined now by lori wallach director of global trade watch a public citizen thank you so much for coming on laurie. so you're an expert on trade policy how is the t.t.p. different than let's say nafta kept. its scope.
