so it really does pay so says a new report finding the corporations are raking in millions by selling client data to devious government agencies. rival crowds are encouraged to take to the streets all across egypt the country remains bogged down in political turmoil which some of believe is playing right into the hands of the army. and belfast calls in six hundred extra police to keep order at the upcoming orange as unionists protest of the decision to shorten the route of the annual parade.

it's eight am in the russian capital this is the with me will receive a very good morning to you from all of us here at the studios profit not patriotism may be driving the participation of telecom giants in washington surveillance program from microsoft to google it's a merger that companies are raking in cash by selling off the client data to the government and of course it's the taxpayers who are stumping up the cash. has more on the surveillance price list. if you are a u.s. taxpayer whether or not you agree with the government's wholesale electronic snooping you are paying for it and you will probably never know how much exactly because for the covert world of its unaccountable spying activities the government has a black budget but some numbers or available they refer to law enforcement requests so according to last year's disclosures america's telecommunications giants build the government just as they build their clients we have some specifics each wiretap

eighteen thousand for example charges an activation fee of three hundred twenty five dollars plus ten dollars a day to maintain it varieties than another telecommunications giant takes seven hundred seventy five dollars for for the first month and five hundred dollars each month after these numbers may not shock you into you learn that the average wiretap cost u.s. taxpayers fifty thousand dollars given the scope of surveillance that could amount to a lot of money but again these figures are based on disclosed data as we learned from a number of whistleblowers and not just edward snowden the u.s. national security agency operates under wraps under secret orders nobody knows how much exactly they spent to fiber optic cables or to collect data on americans and the rest of the world but we do know that the n.s.a. storage facility alone cost some one point seven billion dollars that the center in utah is capable of storing every e-mail voice mail and social media communication

you can get its hands on the government is certainly very reluctant to discuss its snooping activities with the public they just repeat the mantra it's done to keep america safe but as americans learn more about the price they pay for the presumed safety they are becoming increasingly wary in the latest polls we see a significant shift in public opinion you see three years ago twenty five percent of americans thought that the government went too far in restricting civil liberties. three years later we see forty five percent of americans think so we see that with knowledge comes opposition how can you oppose something that you know nothing about right so perhaps not surprisingly the government is doing everything it can so that the public knows as little as possible about these programs in washington i'm going to check out. an n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden's latest leak particularly targets microsoft going beyond the call of duty the firm allegedly installed back door access to its

services though exclusively for government surveillance if that's the case microsoft's denial of giving out ball data would still be true as the government wouldn't need to ask remedy government a former cia officer he says a set up exemplifies the problem what's happened here is the u.s. companies have become joined in no way with the united states government in such a way that you have the cooperation of the government or just the media and the congress and judiciary all pretty much joining in a complicit attempt to circumvent the constitution of the united states there is zero concern on the part of the communications companies to violate the law they know that they'll be protected even if it's as post facto so skype of course is where we're communicating my greetings to the n.s.a.

people who are watching us by simulcast i just learned from this latest revelation that not only can they intercept our voice but they share images show hello to all the n.s.a. monitors out there. well in the meantime our support for edward snowden has surged according to latest polls fifty five percent of americans are sympathetic to what he did and the third still believe he's a traitor who should be punished that figures down almost a fifth and as r.t. america's samsung's reports snowden supporters getting a lot more vocal as well. about. a coalition of civil libertarians in washington d.c. went on a thank you tour visiting the embassies of those nations that have offered n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden asylum and we're here outside the venezuelan embassy where a group of civil libertarians have gathered to thank them to say officials for offering asylum to edward snowden the screw behind me is gone from the bolivian embassy to the nec wrong for an embassy to now the venezuelan embassy all countries that have

offered snowden asylum in all countries that are willing to defy u.s. authority here in the region in the last fifteen years there's been a huge geopolitical shift there and these countries are now much more independent of the united states and europe. for example europe is and that's something that wasn't true you know in the most the last hundred hundred years this is a matter of international human rights you know that is how amnesty international said it very clearly he has a right to asylum that the united states is committing gross violations of his human rights by trying to block his right to asylum and of course he's a whistleblower exposed major abuses by the u.s. government and he should be protected but the embassy tour was just the first half of today's action next it was on to the department of justice by what your point was what your call for austerity do you the executive cried. so we moved from a thank you tour at the embassies offering asylum is to snowden you know a protester at the department of justice civil libertarians behind me are saying

the department of justice relentless effort to arrest noton from taking away his passport to strong arming foreign governments is not only violating his rights as a whistleblower or is rights as a human being as well i think it's. a wonderful thing that there are countries that are willing to stand up to the united states strong arming to try to stop them trip giving asylum which is an international right to seek asylum but the demonstrators recognize this isn't just about edward snowden's fate it's also about what we've the american people do with. his revolutionists it took six parts. to come out pointed out in the fact that there is no transparency into these programs that there's been no checks and balances in these programs that there's been no accountability for the government abuses here suggests to me that what edward snowden did was a very vital public service for our nation to enable finally a long overdue public debate on these very fundamental questions node himself said

that what he most feared is that things wouldn't change and that puts a two man disparate in on us and it really is a defining moment and what we want our society to look like whatever happens to snowden in the short term whether he finds asylum or not is still a big question mark also a question what happens with these leaks fifty five percent of the american people think that snowden is a whistleblower and a plurality of american people think that the government has overstepped its bounds in mass surveillance of americans but with the executive branch the legislative branch and the judiciary branch seemingly on board with these programs the american people only can resort to events like this to have their voice heard. in washington same socks are to. i mean while a flight from moscow which avoided flying over u.s. territory has certainly raised speculation that edward snowden might be the reason for the rather unusual route that the plane has already crossed the atlantic and that in cuba but there have been no reported sightings of the whistleblower so far

and get the full story on our website right now where you can also find more reaction to snowden's avalanche of leaks as well as the timeline of events surrounding this scandal all of that of course dot com. these are. a pleasure to have you with us here this morning. fears of a running high in egypt it's friday is expected to see rival rallies across the state of the muslim brotherhood supporters of protest until the ousted islamist president mohamed morsy is. out celebrating the.

military's ability to. this is the moment that egypt found out that the muslim brotherhood president mohamed morsi had been ousted. her square erupted in the chant of the army and the people of one hand chief of the armed forces defense minister sisi became the hero of the moment however after clashes between morsi supporters and the army left over fifty people dead just days after a new interim president had been sworn in some began to fear the army would wrestle power from civilians and rule with a heavy hand why is the army in disguise making a hard stand interfering in politics but they're not really helping civilians on the ground and then you see something like the massacre by the presidential guard club and what happened even if it was

a muslim brotherhood was started this at the end of the day there is a human rights violation which is massive and severe because if you are going to shoot people who are trying to get into a building of that importance you don't actually shoot to kill chips in n.g.o.s maintain the military had a terrible human rights record during their last period of rule after the ouster of hosni mubarak they were involved in killing protesters that was the accountability for any of the military crimes they torture protesters there they also try to restrict freedom of expression and most of all they really monopolize this isn't making power i mean they wrote the roadmap at the time the military for their part promised in a number of televised press conferences that they were not interested in politics or ruling and instead assisting the country's movement towards a civilian democracy the. armed forces have issued more than one statement saying we want a real democracy in the country. the new president doesn't have enough experience

with the political situation in egypt so the military is merely supporting him in the way the muslim brotherhood attacked the military which was defending itself its offices and the institution. as the chance of those on the. a square behind me indicates people turn to the army in moments of on rest the military is the real power base here in egypt every one of the country's presidents has hailed from the armed forces except for mohamed morsi was ousted just one year in office but apart from military money and political clout they also have significant economic interests owning several business monopolies and factories as one of the only functioning state institutions at the moment and with little civilian alternative to move the amp is missing brother many people fear that the army whether it wants to or not its once again in the country. aunty. and u.s. lawmakers will vote on legislation next week to allow aid to egypt in case america

officially acknowledges the ousting of president morsi it was indeed a coup such a position that would require the u.s. to curb any assistance so far washington's we know avoiding such wording calling for swift democratic changes instead well hear it out see we spoke to middle east common had a call shero he believes democracy can only be achieved by simple me. let's remember what their interest of the military is here is that it's not that continuation of a democratic rule you shouldn't have the manager stepping in and effectively carrying out this school it's just stop this threat of a genuine popular uprising and that end of the day the muslim brotherhood was elected with people who not only who they were and not only they won the presidential elections with the help of course people from other political affiliations but they also wanted parliamentary election and people tend to forget out days out which were constant and the parliament was also another and disbanded

egypt should have given the chance to the resignation towards a more democratic future and carry out the process and for the muslim brotherhood to be kind of kicked out of office by distorting to that democratic process not through a military means. and a bit later today on cross-talk these people of our last guests looking at where egypt is going postal who and whether the concept of democracy has been diminished within the arab world i here's what i want to head it will be at a seven thirty am g.m.t. . when i got out you see tool to one up our lives in all of you and seek to implemented and apply on the population with how much diplomacy with how much you give and take as what's happening as we've seen with president former president morsi this would be not outcome more than expected consequences of that model see not only what i thought we were going to hear and i'm not you know you know why not wait until the next election to voted out of office if that's the case

. live from moscow it's r.t. belfast's police have been reinforced by more than six hundred officers from other u.k. branches as the city anticipates the annual unionist parade for the marches route has been shortened this year with a ban on an evening walk through a sectarian flashpoint unionist leaders have expressed outrage at the decision but have promised to keep any protests peaceful in belfast with more as artie's south. this parade takes place annually and considered one of the most controversial of the unionist orange orders marching season out this year there's been some contention over the routes now normally the parade would pass the are doing shots that's considered a flash point aaron is actually about two hundred meters up the road from where i'm

standing now now in the morning the small d. the parade is going to be able to march past that area enjoying the main parade but the parades commission has ruled that after the parades finished they won't be allowed to return past that flashpoint area now that's the area were in the past we've seen tensions flare up in some violence breaking out between the unionists and the nationalist community live this year the marches are going to be stopped on their way back in a small feat a parade right here now that has caused some anger amongst the unionist community we've heard the orange order saying that there would be some protests in the coming days although they did say that their intention was to those to be peaceful of course that has caused some concern that perhaps that statement from the orange order an indication that we could see some destruction later on today and we'll be bringing you updates throughout the day as that break gets underway shortly. now

east front. millions of men and thousands of tanks and guns turned this whole area into a giant military camp as these reactors were trying to show attacking from the north and south the germans wanted to trap soviet forces and destroy them they breached to the red army three main defensive belts but met with ferocious resistance after a week of fighting many of the german forces when exhaustion it was at that point that perhaps the battles most iconic moment came here on the fields around the village of krakow to offer a german tank formation and the soviet one ran headlong into each other the ensuing battle raged for hours amid the chaos tanks round each other firing at point blank range and men screamed as they burned alive inside their vehicles thousands died on that day but it was perhaps the last attempt of the germans to assault the soviet

positions even today bullet shells and metal debris from the battle of being found in the surrounding fields and woods the numbers of those directly involved in the battle is dwindling but only they like ninety year old abraham yet he lives ski can remember the true horror of it all. there were moments when times were simply ramming each other one and top of another everything was burning nothing like this is ever happened when the history of mankind. shortly after that the germans called off their attack and began to lose territory the red army had finally beaten the germans at their own game in a large summer offensive there would be no more great german attacks on the eastern front. all right now to brazil we go now to open up the world update clashes have broken out between protesters and police in a number of states after marches took place across the country the violence came off the day long strike of a public services and working conditions and trade unionists blocking several major
