a reputation for resisting pressure from the national security agency and shielding its users data my colleague kevin no one spoke to the owner of x. mission peter 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 should 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 said that begins and johnson got less to lose that big business is the gutless to fate of my 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 it is 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 our own 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 a so called a behavioral surveillance initiative launched by president obama is coming under scrutiny a 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 granted she again has details we 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 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 odd working hours unexplained travel stress wars for instance and an f.b.i.

insiders threat 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 more of a behavioral experts even those working for the government doubt that the program will work and they say there is no proven scientific basis to be. techniques 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 freedoms that means no more illegal wiretapping of american citizens these words perhaps promised 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 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 all move then from an insider to a stern this is the answer is obvious no. and a spy scandal over in europe has cost a top official use job the man you can see here a luxembourg prime minister. 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 parallel you blog the top politicians and squandered its budget on luxury cars and

in neighboring germany chancellor merkel is softening her stance on the n.s.a. to buckle the fanning her government's cooperation with the agency had of key talks on the issue with washington earlier she had demanded that the u.s. explain the mass wiretapping of european officials revealed in edward snowden leaks . and just to remind you of the extent to which germany was targeted the n.s.a. is reported to have made up to fall. five hundred million data interceptions they are monitoring phone calls text messages and emails to find out how the rest of the world reacted to our snowden's avalanche of leaks you can head to our t.v. dot com and there we have also god timeline for you documenting the details as well as the impact of his revelations. how the u.s. has decided to go ahead with a delivery of four fighter jets to egypt despite president obama's order to review

military aid to cairo this comes at a time of deep divisions in a country where emotions are running high after the overthrow of president mohamed morsi last week but let's now take a closer look at america's role in the country in two thousand and eleven when hosni mubarak was still in the office in egypt received one point three billion dollars worth of military aid plus a much smaller two hundred fifty million dollars economic support package while mubarak was then ousted and in two thousand and twelve mohamed morsi became the new president is muslim brotherhood movement had the approval of the u.s. government which continued to provide the same amount of aid and that aid situation remains largely unchanged the spy the political turmoil gripping egypt and the lack of a legitimate government if america's plans remain unchanged the support will continue next year but not of that cash has improved the lives of ordinary citizens in egypt as a bell true reports. 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 moscow 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 have been for inciting violence on monday the fee 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 wait for the election when it was deliberate that missed or whatever and then the military would come back in one year to say let us repeat everything again start another what you should start this what we are trying to say all the time is not about more since it was about the values i mean why are 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 said to egypt although president obama has. promised to look into the

aids and the plan for american supports all of egypt in the future while egyptians disagree on who should lead them most seem to share the same view on the u.s. role in their country as a new survey has shown in a man a american researchers found that nearly eighty percent of egyptians did not approve of the u.s. role in their country with only sixteen percent holding the opposite view when asked about president obama's foreign policy almost two thirds gave negative answers gyptian perceptions of obama have steadily worse and since his first took office in two thousand and nine the majority of respondents also disapprove of america's military and financial aid to egypt viewing it as an addition that harms a country and with edge of still feeling the aftershocks of the twenty eleven revolution washington's image is unlikely to improve as well as leader now reports . i then message is clear they want the army

out and more slowly but there's another message in between the patriotic chants anger against the west for its sinus and implicit support for a military coup i just must not was i think i want that i already have made 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 a plane 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 feel hatred towards the us and i think they make that is this dealing with things in double standard so i would say i don't mind that you have to give up a woman for a must 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 mohamed 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 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 are all influenced by their culture we all have american friends on the personal relations we are we having the fine this being said you don't expect that somebody would love soult of betrays you or disappoints you or does not understand you all deliberately he. is. feuds the truth as the un raced on the gyptian streets grow many worry the brotherhood now having tried to mock lucy 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 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 put in same policy r t cairo. our middle east correspondent paula pfleger reporting there and paul is posting a regular obviates on the developments in egypt over on twitter and one of her latest tweets she says the interim government is praising washington for effectively backing the uprising against morsi you can follow her abdullah's underscore r.t. well earlier i talked to dr oz on to me a rider on islamic movements who believes more his government had no real opportunity to run the country with a military blocking their every move. the major fault with the situation in egypt is that we had an elected president who had no loyalty or sympathy from any of the major institutions of the state to you headed to the un he was against them the police was against them the media was against them and they usually was against

them and finally although he thought that the obvious that by having the poor fellow he was stabbed in the back by the chief of the army who acted as his defense and this is very much like arguing that if somebody comes and feed your house. then you have to accept the new reality and share product of your house with him even if he only gives you the doghouse outside in the ground that this is not an argument that then surely it remains to be seen how this will play out that is the venezuela. in audio where the people rise and bring their legitimate democratically elected president back. if that doesn't work on the intimacy is not given a chance to be used so often. only god knows what sort of the doctrine of egypt is sliding into. and just

handed over to the united nations washington has said it skeptical over russia's findings which contradict the white house's earlier claims the government forces were behind chemical attacks those 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 and up in the wrong hands anti-war campaigner richard becker told us that moscow's finding. through be enough for washington to reconsider its pledge of lethal support this only should be an eye opener for everyone who has any doubts about what's going on the this latest report from russia guiding the use of chemical weapons by the opposition the intervention policy well it's going to forward with the training forces of the opposition the syrian opposition i mean that pouring into fighters that the policy is really just 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 overthrowing the governments your ear. president obama's foreign policies including his stance on the syrian conflict have earned him harsh criticism from one irish politician who's a guest in today's episode of our interview show 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 is 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 i've been battered that 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 either and i believe the future of syria should be dictated by the syrian people themselves with interference from external forces all of history shows so stuff where foreign intervention comes in in the so-called name of democracy it is ordinary people civilians who ends up being homeless who ends 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 they can watch the full interview later today here in our team. in moscow the way a lawyer said he 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. r d's or in english go has the details. court has ruled that the auditor sergei magnitsky who died in custody in two thousand and nine is guilty of tax evasion similar luring a ruling has been brought against his former boss william browder a 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 of 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 browder there by investing more than seventeen million dollars now the case has garnered a lot of attention because prior to his arrest and subsequent claims 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 hasn't turned retaliated with their own list of american citizens who are banned from entering russia because of their alleged crimes against russian citizens or violation of human rights. and time now for the world update devastating floods in china's sichuan province

claimed at least thirty one lives today the rental rains have triggered landslides of the worst flooding in half a century destroying homes and leaving dozens of villages cut off from power supplies according to the latest reports over a million people in sichuan have been affected by the tragedy dozens more have died since the weekend in several regions and over seventy are reported missing. 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 nato security had the word to local forces the scandal surrounding the guantanamo bay hunger strike now in its sixth month is gaining prominence in the u.s. congress with two leading democratic senators urging obama to close the prison

facility as soon as possible a lack of action from the white house has inspired some people to join in the prisoner's protest against inhumane treatment an indefinite detention veteran human rights lawyer clive stafford smith is one of those. the point of this is that i was in graham town in the last week and these guys a separate. and i think it's incumbent on us on the outside to show some solidarity but. to just get more attention what i'm doing is minimal compared to what it is prisoners are going through there and 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 many talk about risking people's lives their people are dying on time and i just want this to stop i think it's really important that it stops some of the people who are my clients that really do lose that. i pass abby martin with breaking the threat.

many in latin america are furious that the forced grounding of bolivia's president evo morales is playing in austria and even twelve nations in latin america are coming together to discuss the consequences of the event the plane was forced to the ground while flying over the e.u. because it was believed that that sneaky snowden was hiding on board trying to get to asylum in bolivia and beyond some might say that this is no big deal so president of some contras said she had a delayed flight for a few hours things happen man plus you've got to get that still got all costs right well one is delayed flight is another man's imperial skyjacking you see the countries of latin america have

a common history as being on the bad end of brutal western european imperialism and when the president of a former colony could just be abducted at the will of the you would have his plane searched it sure makes you feel like you're still under the lash of foreign control doesn't it do any of you think for a moment that any e.u. officials who are so willing to. grown morales would dare do the same thing air force one i don't think so morose clearly was treated like some sort of second class president and despite this insult they didn't even catch oden this is what i call a double fail but that's just my opinion. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i'm glad i got so many i mean family and i know that i'm still really messed up. in the old story so closely. the. worst year for the little things.

like how stupid the. radio guy for a minute. i want to go for about a good cause you've never seen anything like this i'm still. below guys i'm at the mine and welcome to a very special edition of breaking the sets. believe it or not today marks are two hundred episodes. i now i know it's crazy to do it already broadcast one hundred hours of programming and one of those hours cut in the false left right paradigm pushed on us by the corporate media but i haven't only called out the press for its failure in covering real stories and also going to voice to those overlooked by the m.s.m. this show has provided

a platform for countless activists artists and government whistleblowers to tell their stories and also to tackle issues that are never touched by the corporate run news like monsanto g.m.o. the trans-pacific partnership the privatization of water just to name a few i think are conversations with a. those brilliant minds of our time from apple's steve was the act a linguist noam chomsky but breaking the set is mostly about alternatives to the status quo which is why showcase the debate no not your typical democrat versus republican debate but when i gave real alternatives of voice but even with the great team i have making the show happen behind the scene there would be nothing without you with the audience supporting and sharing the work you know what this is only the beginning so thank you all for tuning in to episode two hundred and here's to two hundred more let's go let's break the set.
