whistleblower edward snowden basks in an upsurge of support among americans while we report on one u.s. internet company that's refusing to yield to government snooping. egyptians will soon get a new batch of absentee and fighter jets from the united states the spy promises to review its assistance program while a poll of egyptians show that its weapons and money do more harm than good. and a moscow court has found russia a lawyer sergei will need to be guilty of tax evasion for years after his death in custody.

this is r.t. coming to you live from the russian capital i'm marina josh and welcome to the program i'm more americans consider and snowden to be a whistleblower than a traitor a highly side a poll found that fifty five percent of respondents were sympathetic about what he did while about a third world less forgiving washington though is adamant he faced charges of espionage for exposing its surveillance systems it's a network that involves almost all u.s. telecom and tech giants but one internet provider is standing firm and refusing the n.s.a.'s advances and so far managing to get away with it argues kevin no one spoke to the owner of x. mission ashton. 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 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 begins and 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 that doesn't it of course a lot of 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 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 end sider threat program president obama's initiative that mandates federal employees to start spying on each other is coming under increasing scrutiny now under that program millions of government workers must watch their colleagues for whistleblower tendencies and report any suspicions to their superiors but as our washington correspondent going to check our reports the government's own experts have grave doubts. we learned that not only does the u.s.

government spy on everybody's electronic 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 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 at

the program will work and they say there is no proven scientific basis to these behavioral profiling but these are just fine program 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 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 for revealing what they see as the government's wrong

doings in this regard one also has to ask the question is there any other way one could learn about the government's wrongdoings done in secrecy. from an insider. yes or is obvious. now david lindorff editor of an online news website explained why you think the program could damage the government. it's an 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 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 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 now surveillance or running a mob has brought down the prime minister of luxemburg the american see here or. serve in the job for eighteen years had occurred but has just resigned over the country's intelligence agency's misconduct what's emberg secret services apparently bugged top politicians squander budgets on flashy cars and engaged in power games in neighboring germany chancellor merkel is attracting carefully before a berlin delegation hands for a meeting in washington she softened her tone after demanding the u.s.

explain mass spying against germans after it emerged that germany had actively been colluding with the n.s.a. experts say she could pay a heavy price if it's found out that merkel knew more than she let on. a band just to remind you of the extent of u.s. spying in germany as revealed by average snowden's leaks they add a say is reported to have made up to five hundred million data interceptions a month snooping in on. people's phone calls messages and emails there. to find out how the world has been reacting to adverse notice avalanche of leaves had a word to argue over there you can check out our timeline which documents the impact as well as the damage is revelation. on the united states still plans to go through with the delivery of four f. sixteen fighter jets to egypt in the coming weeks despite egypt's the military's removal of president mohamed morsi washington has been reluctant to label the

egyptian overhaul a coup since that would bar assistance to the volatile state kyra correspond bill true brings us the latest on how the countries 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 road map for 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 agree with them all the way through wait for the election when it was deliberate. and then the military would come back in one year to say well you just repeat everything again start another it was the start of 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 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 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 u.s. reveals that people there haven't been satisfied with america's role in their homeland in may american a researchers concluded that about eight out of ten egyptians felt negatively towards the united states with just sixteen percent having a positive attitude towards the united states when it comes to president obama and nearly three quaters were unhappy with the way he handled american foreign affairs that's been strong since the day obama took office back in two thousand and nine gyptian is were also pessimistic about their country's dependence on u.s. financial and military was more than half of the population say it is harming

egyptian the recent coup has done little to improve america's image there supposedly are now reports. they miss it just clear they want the army out and morsi was that there's another message in between the patriotic china stiff anger against the ways for its sign and and implicit support for a military coup i just started i well i don't want there i already have a zero the egyptian street is littered with and to bomb the 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 prices 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 postage because so who is

responsible for the anti america post as i'll search which to date in but by is a plaintiff and i'm often hatred against mary-kate is growing each year washington gives cairo one point three billion dollars in military aid if american causes a coup it will be forced to stop but many fear the decision to say nothing except that it is reviewing the situation when altimetry backfire and feel hatred towards the u.s. and europe i think they may get is this dealing with things in double standard so i would say i don't think that they have to do that a woman from mars is. equal to one thousand men standing support think morsi and the decision he says he's going to join us from washington even from the people who want to live in the states aha madonna had spoken many times and egypt 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 fall i have no problem with american people have problems with american politics which try to interfere in the. the way we want to live and that's not right with washington and its allies were fusing to show strong reaction to the recent taken into bits of egypt some feel it's another hate affair between the two countries we all live in their culture we all have american friends all the personal relations we or we have the fine this being said we don't expect that somebody will love sort of betrays your will or. disappoint shoe or does not understand you all deliberately claims law is. huge the truth as the under a stone egypt streets grows many worry the brotherhood now having tried democracy and seen it failed will result 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 typically 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 printed same policy r.t. cairo. and britain is closing in on its burgeoning vigo loan shards some of which are hitting the poor with i water and interest rates of over vines thousand per se and more here at what's being done about it. and the u.n. chemical weapon team accept syria's invitation to conduct a fact finding mission and after the russian investigators say they found evidence that the rebels not the regime used toxic gas there.

and. we speak your language or not advance. news programs and documentaries in spanish more matters to you. a little too much of anglos keep these stories. here. to try the spanish find out more visit.

welcome back this is our take i'm to live from moscow syria's chemical weapons could become a catastrophic security hazard to the west should assad regime fall the u.k.'s intelligence service she. the most worrying emerging terrorist threat is if the chemicals fall into the hands of radical fires have been attracted to the conflict meanwhile the hand of the u.n. chemical weapon fact finding mission has accepted the syrian government's invitation to visit the country president assad's government is insists the u.n. should focus on an incident attributed to opposition forces back in march near the northern city of aleppo russia recently presented evidence to the un which shows syrian rebels attacked the regime forces with sarin gas but rebels in turn blame the government for the attack the u.s.

britain and france saying they have seen no evidence that the opposition has acquired or used chemical weapons meanwhile u.s. lawmakers are holding back on the promise arms supplies to the syrian opposition fearing the weapons will and in the wrong hands but anti-war campaigner with her back are told us that moscow's findings should be enough for washington to reconsider explain of lethal support. is certainly should be an eye opener for everyone who has any doubts about what's going on the the latest reports from russia we've got to do use of chemical weapons by the opposition the intervention policy law it's going to forward with the training of the forces of the opposition the syrian opposition i mean that i'm pouring in five years that the policy is really just to read 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 with a plan that's flat and to achieve its objectives which is over it's really the government's your ear. president obama's policies towards conflicts abroad has earned him harsh criticism for one irish politician is also the guest in today's worlds apart. now i ask 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 it's a war criminal they war in syria that sparking a very passionate speech is also being waged on to 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 system that president assad has with

regard to many of the use that are being put on the conflicts in syria i don't agree with the regime but i do not agree with many of the rebels and i believe the future of syria should be checked by the syrian people themselves with interference from external sources all of history shows so such 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 today it's a new end up in its very own stable situation and where fortunately the middle east is being led to at the moment. and the full interview is here in our team at twelve thirty pm g.m.t.

. a moscow chords given guilty verdicts against the late lawyer. to have the hermitage capital fund william browder in a high profile tax evasion trial now let's cross live to. the courthouse over to reno. well the court has ruled that sergei magnitsky who died in custody in two thousand and nine was guilty off tax evasion the same the same charges were brought against his former boss william browder who was also found guilty of tax evasion and sentenced in absentia to nine years in prison now both men are accused of constructing elaborate schemes by. attorneys and essentially pulling a quote unquote persons who are disabled or diseased. in the process more than five hundred million rubles a week now and neither the defendants of course were in court so we'll have to read

that is and he refused to be present. to the. investigation charges of allegedly uncovering an elaborate corruption scheme which involved some high ranking russian officials was part of the reason for his death in custody that however has been disputed by russian law officials gets the case has gained enough not to write to spread beyond russia's state borders and actually to involve the united states. to so-called magnitsky. some sixty of russian officials whom the united states believes to be guilty or somehow to. death by hanging up their them from entrance to the united states and using u.s. banking system russia has retaliated by. coming out with their over their own

version of the. the law which allows them are only going to says that u.s. citizens who russia says are guilty of. crimes against russian citizens by betting them from entering russia and also that it betting american citizens from the problem of adopting of russian children. who are the real thanks very much for bringing us this update that was a ridiculous there. the five month long hunger strike by guantanamo prisoners is gaining more sympathy worldwide inspiring sound to follow the detainees example attorney clive stafford smith has now gone a hunger strike of his own to draw attention to their plight to the point of this is that i was in graham town in the last week and these guys a step parent very badly and i think it's incumbent time outs on the outside to show some solidarity with them i hope to just get more attention but i'm doing news

that is minimal compared to what those prisoners are going through there i mean look i've been on a hunger strike now for twenty four hours they've been doing it for five months of course it's not the same i think the point is to get people's attention i mean when we talk about risking people's lives there are people who are dying in runtime and i just want this to stop i think it's really important that it stops before some of the people who are my clients really do lose that. and asked think lawyer charge murder has sparked outrage in southern russia find out how locals have been rallying for four days demanding all chechens be expelled from the town following a bar brawl that ended in a deadly stabbing. and four million pounds to watch one man british officials face scrutiny over this by rolling cost for police to constantly patrol dorrian embassy to keep julian a son from escaping that story and a lot more of. the noose is tightening around

firms in britain offering so-called payday loans at exorbitant rates of interest eleven agents who charge rates at up to five thousand per se and say they'll stop providing that type of loan after a crackdown by the government now other lenders have yet to reply to an ultimatum to clean up your act for a boycott reports. louise and her husband were bankrupt when she took out her first payday loan she couldn't afford to pay it back sometimes they would call up and so do you want to so you jewelry do you want to. take up take out another day learned that one and have a one more money and they still call of louise's two loans of two hundred fifty pounds each ended up costing over two thousand pounds the financial pressure meant that louise's two sons had to relocate to live with their birth father once things

start. it just seemed to continue forever and it still like that now even though it's been. eight months after we've paid them off when we're still i wouldn't tell last year stretched budgets meant that britain's took out two billion pounds worth of short term loans it's a burgeoning industry but it's taken hold even government regulation to catch up you know it doesn't matter how careful you are with money sometimes you pay just one stretch far enough that there are remarkably few rules that govern how payday lenders operate customers have been refused credit by banks and here exhausted every other means of securing a loan can simply apply online and most are approved within moments which means they can get their hands on the cash within minutes they're in problem is paying it back payday lenders can charge any rate of interest they like often up to five

thousand percent the industry's been accused of bullying borrowers into taking out multiple loans lending money to drunk individuals people with mental health issues and even children the office of fair trading has told the u.k.'s fifty biggest lenders to stop handing out loans irresponsibly you saw a couple last year between the thirty six i think it's due to a combination of reduced income. financial shocks do you think government needs to come forward with a rigorous plan in order to better protect trialist from. one guy is the u.k.'s largest payday loans company is new head of public affairs used to be an advisor to david cameron leading to accusations that the company is lobbying its interests with the government longer reportedly paid for meetings with conservative ministers they paid a in excess of opposing pony's to have a fifteen minute vote with somebody from government. that's not right you're using
