the lady. whistleblower edward snowden basks in an upsurge of support among americans while we report on one u.s. telecom company that is refusing to yield to government snooping. egypt will soon get a new batch of the f. sixteen fighter jets from the united states despite promises to review its assistance program while a poll of egyptians shows that its weapons and money do more harm than good. and the u.n. chemical weapons and us up syria's invitation to conduct a fact finding mission in aleppo after russian investigators say they found evidence that the rebels are not the regime used toxic gas there.

have you with us this morning eleven am here in the russian capital i'm lucy catherine of any watching our t.v. well more americans consider edward snowden to be a whistleblower than a traitor this is according to a highly cited poll that had found fifty five percent of respondents were actually sympathetic to what snowden did while about a third were less forgiving washington is pursuing espionage charges against snowden for leaking details of the n.s.a. 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 are discovered no one spoke to the owner of x. mission ashdown. we have had situations where people inside the attorney general's office of slandered my business and said that we're supporting criminals we absolutely do not support criminals we just ask for

a proper warrant and that seems to be too much to ask most of the time fortunately the other issue is that we saw with the n.s.a. . exposure that google and microsoft and apple and others were supposedly cooperating that's 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 said the beginning and that johnson got less to lose that big business is the gutless to fate of night yeah absolutely and 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 all and this is the course a lot of may be familiar with that i think it's just come out now with regard to snowden and his revelations is that 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 is 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 initiative that mandates federal employees to start spying on each other is coming under increasing scrutiny and now under this millions of government workers must watch their colleagues for whistleblowing tendencies report and yield those suspicions to their superiors but as our washington correspondents by nature can reports the government's own experts

have grave doubts. learned that not only does the u.s. government spy on everybody selling 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 besides 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 these are just fine program is for him 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 and 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 way he 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 sikorsky on them then from an insider to us term this yes or is obvious no. they are to spoken to david lindorff he's an editor of an online news website and he explains why he thinks the program can actually damage the u.s. government it's. 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 his burgeoning illegal loan sharks some of which are hitting the poor when i was interest rates of over five thousand percent well here what's being done about that. starving in sympathy and we speak to a human rights lawyer who started his own hunger strike in solidarity with the one tunnel prisoners who are being subjected to what's been described as painful and degrading force feed. now 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 now washington has been reluctant to label the egyptian overhaul as a coup since that would effectively bar assistance to the volatile state now argues cairo correspondent bill true brings us the latest on how the country has been coping with its transition. the supporters of ousted leader mohamed morsy remain steadfast they're continuing their city in another city in the capital 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 their 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 muslim brotherhood mohamed. for inciting violence on monday if he is that this

arrest will scupper any plans for the missing brotherhood's participation in this time here in egypt on monday the interim president for his part issued a roadmap to egypt in the form of a constitutional declaration it said that there would be a new constitution and parliamentary and presidential elections within the six months this was rejected by the most brotherhood and its political party the freedom and justice party we had to deal with all the way through went for the election when it was a little bit is that missed or whatever and then the minister would come back in one year and say just repeat everything again start another you should start this what we are trying to say all the time is not about more since it was about the values meanwhile the u.s. have responded in a manner which it doesn't necessarily reflect what commentators say 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 u.s. are sending four x. 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 aides and the plan for american support of egypt in the future. a survey of egyptian attitudes towards the united states reveals that people there haven't exactly been satisfied with america's role in their homelands now in may american researchers have concluded that about eight out of ten egyptians felt negatively towards the united states with just sixteen percent having a positive attitude towards the u.s. when it comes to president obama and really three quarters were unhappy with the way that he had handled american foreign affairs and that sentiment had been strong

since the day obama took office back in two thousand and nine now the same survey revealed that egyptians were also pessimistic about their country's dependence on u.s. financial as well as military aid with more than half of the population as you can see there saying that it was harming egypt and of course the recent coup has done nothing to improve america's image there as artie's policy or reports. i their message is clear they want the army out and more so. but there's another message in between the patriotic chants anger against the west for its silence and implicit support for a military coup i just must not much was i wasn't there i already have measured 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 it's printing presses have grind to a halt we found the same in the 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 fuel hatred towards the us and i think the make that is this dealing with things in double standard so i would tell i tell america you have to give up a woman for a must is. equal to one thousand men standing supporting morsi and for different reasons there's no joy from washington even from the people who want to live in the

states. 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 enter. fear in 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 person. 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 all deliberately.

is. huge the truth as the unrest on egyptian 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 in same policy r.t. cairo. more news coming up in just a bit watching our team. it's technology innovation all the developments from around russia we.

welcome back well syria's chemical weapons could become a catastrophic security hazard to the west should assad regime fall the ukase intelligence service chief says the most worrying emerging terrorist threats as if the chemicals actually fall into the hands of radical jihad is to have been attracted to the conflict there meanwhile the head of the u.n. chemical weapon fact finding mission has us up to the syrian government's invitation to visit the country president assad's government insists the u.n. should focus on an incident in tribute to the opposition forces back in march near the northern city of aleppo now russia has recently presented evidence to the united nations which it says shows syrian rebels attacked regime. forces with sarin gas but the rebels in turn blamed the government for that attack now the u.s. britain and france all say they've seen no evidence that the opposition has acquired or even used chemical weapons meanwhile u.s. lawmakers are holding back on promised arms supplies to the syrian opposition fearing the arms could fall into the wrong hands anti-war campaigner richard becker

believes that moscow's findings should be enough for washington to reconsider that lethal pledge and they certainly should be an eye opener for everyone who has any doubts about what's going to be this latest report from russia and we've got to the use of chemical weapons by the opposition the intervention policy love it's going to go forward with the training of the forces of the opposition the syrian opposition army. whoring and finds that the policy is really just the right because there is a great deal about position inside the united states and there is you know you get inside the congress there is a great concern about where this will lead to and whether or not it will lead to a regional war or something even wider if the united states goes forward plan its plans to achieve its objective which is over it's really the government's year

president obama's policies towards conflicts abroad has earned them some harsh criticism from one irish politician who is also the guest on today's world apart. now i ask you is this person going for the hypocrites of the century award because we have to call takings by their right names and the reality is that by any serious examination this man is a war criminal and the war in syria that sparking a very passionate speech is also being waged on the flow of democracy as it is being aided by the countries who consider themselves to be democratic but how is that democracy better than the authoritarian fest and that president assad has with regard to many of the fuse that are being put out of the conflict in syria i don't agree with the assad regime but i do not agree with many of the rebels either and i believe the future of syria should be dictated by the syrian people themselves

which interference from external forces all of history shows us that's where foreign intervention comes in in the so-called name of democracy it is ordinary people civilians who end opening homeless who end up being day it's a new end to open its very own stable situation and where unfortunately the middle east is being led to at the moment. full interview here in our team at nine thirty. the noose is tightening around firms in britain offering so-called payday loans at exorbitant rates of interests eleven agents who charged rates of up to five thousand percent say that they will now stop that type of loan after a crackdown by the government's fair trading regulator. or lenders are still to
