the access to your office. the american public throws its support behind edward snowden with a poll showing most citizens approve of his whistleblowing if to vote he is and we need an entrepreneur who's helping internet users avoid the government snooping that's known and i'm covered. washington is set to deliver a four fighter jets to the egyptian military as president obama refuses to call the overthrow of the muslim brotherhood a cool prompting egyptians to criticize u.s. involvement in their country's affairs. british lawmakers warned that toppling the assad regime in syria could have disastrous consequences in a report highlighting the threat of radical militants getting hold of chemical weapons. high profile tax evasion case comes to an end in

moscow as a court hands down a guilty verdict against russian or sergei we need four years after his death in custody. it is four pm in moscow are you watching our marina joshua welcome to the program. u.s. government efforts to convince the public that intelligence leaker edward snowden is a sponsor and a criminal appear to be failing a recent poll found that most americans approve of whistleblowers actions while only about a third of you him negatively snowden who is still in transit limbo at a moscow airport faces ask charges in the u.s. for exposing the extent of his government's secret surveillance network those revelations implicated not only officials but also the country's biggest telecom and internet companies one small internet provider has earned

a reputation for resisting pressure from the national security agency and shielding its users data my colleague having 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 were 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 said the beginning 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 that doesn't it of course a lot of may be familiar with that i think it's just come out now with 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.

meanwhile the so-called behavioral surveillance initiatives launched by president obama is coming under scrutiny the campaign introduced in the wake of bradley manning's leaks requires federal employees to spy on each other in order to spot potential whistleblowers our washington correspondent has details we learn 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 things scientists write 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 divided on the way to 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 to me but 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 and their sources of 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 pickle is that this is from six years ago i will provide our intelligence and law

enforcement. seize 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 promise that different future but it seems the us 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 dunning secrecy almaden from an insider to us term this the answer is obvious no. investigative journalist david lindorff explain why he thinks such measures are counterproductive 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 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 to to people inside the government who will tell them through that 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. and a spy scandal over in europe has cost a top official his job the man he can see here in luxembourg prime minister john paul younger who was the longest serving elected official in the e.u. had to resign in the wake of

a scandal involving his country's intelligence agency luxembourg secret service apparently top politicians and squandered its budget on a luxury cars. and in neighboring germany chancellor merkel is softening her stance on the n.s.a. debacle fanning her government's cooperation with the agency had a key talks on the issue with washington earlier and she had demanded that the us explains the mass wiretapping of new rypien officials revealed in edward snowden leaks. and just to remind you of the extent to which germany was started the atta say is reported to have made up to five hundred million data interceptions their per month monitoring phone calls text messages and emails to find out how the rest of the world reacted snowden's avalanche of leaks you had to r.t. dot com that's our website and there we've also got a timeline for you documenting the details as well as the impact of his revelations

. the u.s. has decided to go ahead with the delivery of four fighter jets to egypt despite president obama's order to review military aid to cairo and this comes at a time of deep divisions of the country were emotions are running high after the overthrow of president mohamed morsi last week but let's take a look now at america's role in the country in the twenty eleven when hosni mubarak was still in the office egypt received one point three billion dollars worth of military aid plus a much smaller two hundred fifty million dollars economic support package bark was then ousted and in twenty twelve mohamed morsi became the new president his muslim brotherhood movement have the approval of the u.s. government which continued to provide the same amount of aid and that a situation remains largely unchanged despite the political turmoil gripping it and

the lack of a legitimate government if america's plans remain unchanged the support will continue next year but none of that cash has improved. the lives of ordinary citizens in asia as artie's beltre now reports the supporters of ousted leader mohamed morsy remain steadfast they're continuing their sit 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 mohammad. 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 fundamentally in 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 them all the way through when for the election when it was the liberals that missed all of this article and then the military would come back you know need as they will all just repeat everything again start the not that was you just of the what we are trying to say all is not about nor 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 launch a 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 wreckage of assistance said to egypt although president obama has promised to look into the aides and the plan for american support of egypt in the future. while egyptians disagree on who should lead their country most seem to share the same view on the u.s. role in their country as a new survey has shown well in may american researchers found out that nearly eighty percent and did not approve of america's role in their country with only sixteen percent of feeling the opposite when asked about president obama and u.s. foreign policy in general almost two thirds gave negative answers perceptions of obama have worsened since he returned to office in two thousand and nine the majority of population also disapprove of america's military and financial aid for

egypt saying the addiction is harming the country and with age of still feeling the aftershocks of the twenty eleven revolution washington's image isn't likely to improve as policy or now reports. 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 that's not much was i don't want that there i already have a zero the egyptian street is littered with and tear 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 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 america post as i'll search reached a date in but by is up came to follow 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 us i think they may get is this dealing with things in double standard so i was told i thought i might have to give up a woman for a mars is. equal to one thousand men standing supporting morsi and the difference he says there is no joy from washington even from the people who want to live in the states how madonna hold spoken american and egypt citizenship two months ago he

sold up ready to trade cairo for tech says he feels washington is too deeply embroiled in internal egyptian politics and pulls the strings from a far i have no problem with american people have problems with american politics which try to. interfere 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 of incident egypt some feel it's another hate affair between the two countries we all influenced by american culture we all have american friends on the personal relations we are we having the fine this being said we don't expect that somebody with a lot of sort of betrays you will or. disappoint shoe or does not understand you all deliberately. is if you truth as the unrest in egypt streets grow many worry the brotherhood now having tried

democracy and seen it fail to arms it spells disaster for everyone from the protesters on the streets to the people who just want a quiet life like muhammad in his printing shop or the president of ahmed publicly 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. and just a few minutes the trial and sentencing of the late russian lawyer sergei magnitsky stay with us for that and much more. thank. you.

speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. the fourteenth in the world talks syfy r.p. interview intriguing story so you. see arabic to find out more visit our big. dog called. welcome back this is our team the fall of oz and regime in syria could have

catastrophic consequences due to the threat of chemical weapons stockpiles and and the hands of radical militants that's the conclusion i've seen you're a british lawmakers and an intelligence and security committee report which appears to be in stark contrast with the government's program stance the warning comes shortly after russia said to have solid evidence that rebel groups in syria used chemical weapons in a deadly attack on the city of aleppo back in march the samples have been handed over to the united nations washington has said it's kept a goal over russia's findings which contradict the white house was. earlier claims that government forces were behind chemical attacks there was allegations were used to justify a decision to arm the syrian rebels but u.s. lawmakers are holding back on the promise weapons supplies fearing they could end up in the wrong hands anti-war campaigner richard backer told us that moscow's findings should be enough for washington to reconsider its pledge of lethal support

but certainly should be an eye opener for everyone who has any doubts about what's going to be the latest report from russia to the use of chemical weapons by the opposition the intervention policy well it's going to forward with the training of the forces of the opposition the syrian opposition army. pouring into fighters 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 that it will lead to a regional war or something even wider if the united states goes forward plan its plans to achieve its objectives which is over it's really the government's your ear . president obama's foreign policies including his stance on the syrian conflict have earned him harsh criticism from one irish politician who was

a guest today who's a guest in today's episode of our interview show worlds apart and the full program is coming your way later this hour but here's a quick preview. now i ask you is this person going for the hypocrites of the century award because we have to call taking spike their right names and the reality is that by any serious examination. it's a war criminal the war in syria that sparking a very passionate speech is also being waged on to the slogans 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 fuse that are being put in 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 dictated by the syrian people themselves which

interference from external forces all of history shows so such where foreign intervention comes in in the so-called name of democracy it is ordinary people civilians who ends up being homeless who end up being today it's a new ends up in its very own stable situation and where fortunately the middle east is being led to at the moment. if you watch the full interview later this hour here in our team. in moscow on the late lawyers their game against king has been found guilty in a high profile tax evasion case the court also handed down a guilty verdict against his former boss william browder head of the hermitage capital fund which was represented by a need to keep our to go has the details. court has ruled that their auditor sergei

magnitsky who died in custody in two thousand and nine is guilty of tax evasion similar ruling has been brought against his former boss william browder u.k. citizen who refused to attend court session who was also sentenced to nine years in prison in absentia now according to court documents and two witness testimony both musically and browder have constructed an elaborate scheme off tax evasion by essentially employing so-called dead souls people who were either disabled and couldn't work or people who were who were dead by socially putting them on the list of people who supposedly were working for broader thereby more than seventeen million dollars now the case has garnered a lot of attention because prior to his arrest and subsequent claim that he has been covered in the labyrinth corruption scheme which involved some high ranking russian officials and human rights activists in russia and abroad claimed that this was partly the reason for my new skis demise in the prisons the case has gained

enough notoriety to breach of russia's borders even bringing to the to a diplomatic route between moscow and washington because u.s. officials have adopted a so-called magnitsky act which prohibited some sixty russian officials from entry to the united states and using their banking system russia retaliated tit for tat with their own version of the magnitsky alex law which prohibits american citizens from moscow believed to be guilty of crimes against russian citizens from entering russia. time for a world a day here in our city nine people have been confirmed dead today in floods in their devastating several provinces in china that brings the total death toll to almost fifty with dozens missing torrential rains have triggered landslides and the worst flooding in a half a century and a country south destroying homes and leaving dozens of villages cut off from power supplies according to the latest reports over a million people in the sichuan province have been affected by the tragedy. and in

afghanistan a twin car bombing has claimed the lives of five people the first blast killed three civilians followed by a second that left two police officers dad as they rushed to the scene no group has claimed responsibility but similar attacks have been launched by taliban fighters violence is spiraling in the war torn nation just weeks after a nato security handover to kabul. the scandal around a five month long hunger strike at one time a baby is gaining momentum to meeting democratic senators have urged obama to close the infamous prison facility as soon as possible that has the lack of action from the white house has inspired some to follow the prisoners example among them is the veteran human rights lawyer clive stafford smith who hopes to draw attention to the plight of good male inmates. i was in graham town in the last week and these guys assert. and i think it's incumbent on us on the outside it shows some solidarity

with them. to just get more attention. to those prisoners are going through their i mean look i've been on a hunger strike now 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 and i just want this to stop i think it's really important that it stops some of the people who are my clients really do. now as promised it's our interview show world are going. to news sigrid laboratory tim curry was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give

hello and welcome to worlds apart doing what they preach has always been a challenge for politicians and arguably the most powerful they are the bigger the challenge when u.s. president barack obama landed in arlen's last month he talked to children about how russia's the peace process is in northern ireland while at the same time discussing the possibility of arming syrian rebels if he is more mature counterparts one of the few people to call him on it was irish and pique larry daly who joins us now in a wealth of part deputy daly thank you very much for your time now your speech in parliament was not so much about president obama as the reactions by the irish media and irish politicians to his visit but since it became an almost overnight sensation let us remind the viewers what you had to say on that day. now i ask you

is this person going for the hypocrites of the century award because we have to call tings boy their right names and the reality is that by any serious examination this man is a war criminal now it's not like these viewing is extremely rare i think it's shared by many people around a while but you don't really hear it articulated by western policymakers very often so my question to you is whether there and. political risks in your view attached to saying something like this and saying it out loud i don't think so i never think there is a problem in telling the truth i have to say that the response has been incredible from all over the world many many people from the united states itself book beyond agree with a few points and actually they were very happy that somebody in the parliament was prepared to stand up and tell things as they are now but you say that you received a lot of support from around

a while that assume from your constituents as well but some of your fellow parliamentarians were in that supportive and. i want to play a short clip of what the prime minister of our land had to say in response to your speech and for you to stand up here and criticize the american president for giving a continuation of support for a for a joy peace process in northern ireland where over three thousand people lost their lives over forty years if you just squish for good and if you represent if you represent those people on the back on the back line of the if that's the kind of common that you intend to make well then it's pretty it's beneath you actually. one thing i find extra perplexing about western politicians especially male player to sense is that when they are faced with an unpleasant argument rather than coming up with another intellectual argument to. reply to they usually resort to shaming and personal attacks and i guess.
