over the highly sensitive. area. in america protests continue across the nation. who killed a black teenager with civil rights groups pledging more in the coming weeks. we didn't. and russia. vladimir putin of russia or of any. because of washington.

now and. this is the with me rule research welcome to the program on this tuesday. so you can report based on information from a reliable source claiming israel used the turkish military by used to launch a recent strike on syria also condemned the media for even mentioning the artsy report of the latest middle east correspondent paula slater the turkish foreign minister saying to quote him it is absolutely wrong and he's accused of spreading the story of an act of the trail he said that turkey will never be a partner nor a part of such attacks and that the ones who claim this one to damage turkey's power and reputation he slammed turkish media for even mentioning the report now we approach the israeli defense forces for a second time asking them to comment their reply was that the response has not changed since their earlier on so and that is that they refused to comment on the

issue we never got a reply from the prime minister's office there we just received an e-mail response to our request saying that they will not be participating in our broadcast we also never got a reply from the foreign affairs ministry a reminder of what we actually know at this stage a reliable source told r.t. that israel use a turkish military base to help stage the recent air strike on the syrian city of latakia now what we know is that it was a pre-dawn attack it happened in early july the attack it is a key syrian ports not far from a russian base they were several syrian troops who were reportedly killed and wounded in that attack the r.t. sources tell us that israeli planes left that military base in turkey and approach an attack from the sea and this was to make sure that they were not inside syrian airspace and so that they could not become

a legitimate target of the syrian air force what is important is that the attack originated on the turkish side of the border and revelations that turkey may in fact be caught. relating with israel against an arab country would indeed be for lack of a base who would highly inconvenient for turkey itself and for its nato allies including the united states you need to remember that to keep positions itself as a key player and a regional wyvil of israel it's also interesting to note that the global mainstream media hasn't largely ignored the r.t. report its continued focus and its intent attention instead on the conflict inside the country itself and the controversy surrounding the whole question of the use of chemical weapons here in israel be report did receive a little coverage not that much but certainly across the board just about every israeli analyst and expert that we approached to comment on the story declined to give his or her viewpoint of this policy or spoke to her just

a little while ago here on the program now if all of this is proven true his cooperation with israel would land i'm right in the middle of the crossfire between its people and its arab neighbors and the cost of damage control could prove too high for the turkish government is out his party boy reports for use that tactic could be collaborating with the israeli government so it's an arab neighbor could it badly damaged the government of prime minister read out of the un there will be a messy protest because there are protests going on here in turkey against governments and this is unacceptable for the turkish people so this roots message. to me first as i think turkish people learn. it in the woods they look for trouble it's people cry it's their country road to their independence and this this means that. you have become puppets of you from.

some other states and. therefore this is even enough to be embarrassing votes but that's hard just for a minute. has been quick to dismiss the reports saying that they have no basis in reality critics disagree and say the government may need to get ready for some damage control turkey in israel work together a lot and it's entirely plausible that they would work together turkey didn't even retaliate after nine civilians were killed by israeli commandos and if you look at her the ones track record with the usa it's even more believable he's a puppet of the usa but this is a scandal for the turkish people so of course the government is denying everything . turkey's words are still rule from two thousand and ten when an aid flotilla heading for gaza was stormed by israeli commandos they boarded a humanitarian aid ship and killed nine turkish civilians and with the past two

weeks marks by anti-government protests here in istanbul these latest celeb revelations about cooperation between israel and turkey could present even more problems for the government ali boy. a stumble so he has a long running history of cooperation with israel but both countries are united in their opposition to war to the syrian government that is according to middle east affairs analyst. we have an underlying strategic alliance that continues to exercise its effect and far turkey was the first islamic state to recognize israel in one thousand and forty nine and nineteen ninety six there was a free trade agreement and throughout the last few decades there was very heavy involvement in terms of military security and political cooperation the fact that

this with most some want of. the last two three years should not overshadow the fact that corporation continues between the two countries over the last few months in all four of both there's the elites and the turks have been supporting the free syrian army against the syrian regime so as far as that goes we can see where this is coming from. part of still to come on the program here on our blog the scenes are far from disappearing from the streets of cairo the supporters of egypt's toppled islamist president turned to more extreme measures to demand his return and we bring you more details on the fresh wave of violence shortly. but in the meantime what r.t.d. civil rights leaders in america are vowing more protests over the acquittal of neighborhood watch guard george zimmerman he shot dead an unarmed black teenager last year issues of racial hatred are again a before front people have been left outraged across the country with police trying

to calm the anger all across the streets marina portnoy has more from new york. the new yorkers are now back on the banks for a second day to take justice for trayvon rallies to protest in illinois even says they're outraged with anger for the you know of the george zimmerman we all knew that more than eight hundred thousand people had signed their name put session that was put forth by did a double a call on you for the u.s. justice department to open it up prosecution against george zimmerman on civil rights charges. as as we see the the anger and the outrage is still boiling from coast to coast seems like now that the that this verdict has been rendered it feels like it's open season like we have a target on our back not just from the police we don't just worry about the police now have to worry about some crazy races person killing us and claiming

self-defense you know i think it strikes home because here in new york even though it's such a diverse city we still you know see that kind of racism and discrimination on a day to day basis on sunday evening at least twelve demonstrators were arrested after tens of thousands flooded the streets of new york city there's a heavy police presence right now so mounting. the rally is. so far the demonstrators have spilled out of union square park and are walking through . manhattan below the park and of course they are surrounded by police officers on the street let's pan over there to show us a police officers on motorcycles and police officers on foot clearly the crowd is very aggravated an incredible injustice you know only you can look at everyone around us like a black man. do you think you actually got a free to wait a day you know i think that i just kind of voiced their opinions more in just the

black and white thing it's not just because i was a little black boy it's it's it's the the. sickness here in america you know which you know gets to decide who is dangerous and who's not following three hours in the policing feat demonstrators are still walking through new york city demanding justice and dozens of police officers by their side as sporting reporting from new york marina part i our team. and the justice department now determining whether criminal civil rights charges could be filed against george zimmerman a professor charles rose from the stetson university in florida he believes that any chances of him putting him behind bars are relatively unknown if they're going to get him back in court again is going to be difficult to do because the civil rights law requires that he be a state actor and there's no indication that he was an employee of the state government during that time frame the other option would be to charge it has

a crime under the shepards act the problem there is that we just don't have evidence that it was hate crime motivated if there had been that evidence it would have been presented in the state trial that just concluded the families have that ability to bring a wrongful death claim against mr zimmerman they could force him to testify but the problem will be that mr zimmerman probably doesn't have much in the way of assets so they would wind up spending a great deal of money for very little result the road to the ease with which you can not only purchase a weapon but then use that weapon to defend yourself in the state of florida in approximately twenty other states is really what led to this tragedy. live from moscow it's r t a former n.s.a. and cia contractor edward snowden will leave moscow as soon as he can that's according to russia's president vladimir putin of course or snowden has been holed up in the transit zone of shutting much of port just outside the capital now for more than three weeks artie's andrew farmer has the latest i spoke with him just

a short while ago the tone was that there is no end in sight to this edward snowden's arguing that america should take a large amount of responsibility for that now despite three days ago edward snowden saying that he was going to apply for political asylum in russia russia has yet to receive an official application of mr putin went on to say that regarding the situation with the whistleblower the situation is unclear but what was very clear was that he said russia was not to blame is edward snowden now entities fourth week in the transit zone of moscow's sheremetyevo airport this is what he said. we should do i'm not sure. we didn't invite edward snowden and russia wasn't his final destination anyway he was in transit but as soon as he began his journey his route was revealed in our us partners effectively blocked for their flight they even made other countries afraid of taking him no one wants to so he ended up blocked on our

territory you. know to remain stuck in a basically in a state of legal legal legal limbo here and you but what about further leaks of classified data any more to come do we know well if you go by what snowden said just on friday when he held that press conference at sheremetyevo airport we should not expect the leaks simply because he said he was prepared to accept russia's precondition for asylum and that was he would not damage the u.s. but it is clear he has plenty of information up his sleeve and that was the comment made by the journalist who broke this story on the guardian newspaper. he's in possession of literally thousands of documents that contain very specific blueprints that would allow somebody who read to know exactly how the n.s.a. does what it does which would in turn allow their by either to evade that surveillance or to replicate it and that's what i was talking about that he has basically the instruction manual for how the n.s.a. is built no doubt the the u.s.

would be worried into herring that we also know that. snowden does not intend to stay in russia permanently he hopes to use any asylum granted here as possible why did plan to then travel to latin america where he has in principle been granted asylum from venezuela bolivia and mickey regular but at the moment we think that the ball is in snowden's caught mr putin also made that clear because when he was asked what would happen next he actually said how should i know this is his fate up to him to take the next step but as we heard earlier mr putin also took the opportunity to make sure everybody knew that russia was not to blame for the fact that edward snowden remains trapped here in russia. more disturbing the surveillance revelations to come in the program here on r.t. as u.k. police use counter-terrorism laws to confiscate mobile phones from travelers trying to cross the border and those details just ahead for you here on our. also after

a very short break we look if there's any hope for pakistan to rid itself of the overwhelming heroin all of the chaos and uncertainty across the border in afghanistan the cradle of the planet's drug production. oh oh music is our job the army our destiny these soldiers don't know what real arms look like but it didn't take them a single shots to conquer the world. china n. korea tried to imitate them america and europe cried bravo absolutely amazing amazing. meanwhile back in russia military artists are losing

their grip on the audiences. the young people especially soldiers they seem to me to differently than. the russian musical army has been fighting for eighty five years now will it stay in tune with the times and bleed over the younger audience is up to date or has the time come to give up the fight and defeat league. on r t. two with me rover sushi thank you for joining us but travelers on their way to britain might want to leave their phones at home and they could be seized and browse through by police amazingly though it's a totally legal. reports of this is one of the most visited countries in the world right behind me one of the busiest airports but one many travelers may not know one

till they actually get to a u.k. airport or any other port of entry is the fact that police can actually use anti a counterterrorism malls to take more vile phones from anybody they want to and go through that private data download and store them now this kind of information would include a call history contacts photos who the person may have been communicating with through text or e-mails although not the actual content of the messages now there doesn't even have to be any reasonable suspicion for a police officer to take a mobile phone and keep the. information for court and court as long as necessary at the u.k. telegraph reports that up to sixty thousand people a year are stopped and examined as they enter or return to the u.k. though we did get in touch with the scotland yard and they sent us this statement and they said that under the terrorism act of two thousand a person may be detained and questioned for up to nine hours to determine if that

individual is the person concerned of the commission preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism they also refuted that the use of such powers are proportional and appropriate and that they are if they have oversight or by independent reviewers you case anti terror laws whatever reviews that are being conducted have highlighted the broader nature of such powers and there have been calls for more safeguards to prevent any abuse of power now we spoke with the freedom association to discuss more on the issue in a democracy at the starting line really should be about a private individual has a right to privacy is that right is being intruded by the state it must be because there's a good reason to do it so is it true for sure is it's in public interest. is it is it being done through proper hanum entry oversight these questions have to be asked and that's why the bag is the line that we need to look out for so just to say we're going to glean information for anybody and hold it for as long as the

police deem necessary really isn't acceptable. or low just on the website dot com including this one. jailed in germany for passing on top secret data to russia for more than twenty years they may actually be exchanged for another agent you can read all the details of the cold war style spy swap between moscow and berlin online. plus captain america iron man and a thai students have erected a controversial billboard with the former nazi leader surrounded by cartoon super. rose details as well right now at the website. or before we get to the aussie world update for now a police forces in cairo have fired tear gas and birdshot pellets at crowds of supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsi protesters then responded by holding rocks dozens were hurt in the clashes that are said to have broken out off the program morsy demonstrators brought traffic to a standstill by blocking

a key downtown bridge protests demanding a return to power for the former elected president intensified across the country on monday it came as the u.s. deputy secretary of state called on the egyptian military to refrain from political of arrests during a visit to cairo a number of members of the muslim brotherhood which does support morsi has been detained now since the military forced him out and ideal shamu a senior analyst for the foreign policy in focus think tank he told my colleague treasure that there are mating divide in gyptian society will only bring further trouble. i think there are a very serious risk for egypt's young people discontinue the opposition which is now in power with the military under the leadership of the military they know that they need to bring the muslim brotherhood leadership into some kind of a coalition and they're standing and they really they should also free morsi from jail rather than now they're investigating him and trying to accuse him of crimes i

think that this will not hold true and they will lose some of the people the u.s. deputy secretary of state william burns said during his visit that the u.s. will not take sides during egypt's political turmoil why do you think the u.s. took the stance after actively backing the ousted president before the coup well they're trying to protect the long range interest of the united states if they take the position only to solve or more see the twenty million people in the street which resulted in a venture of the former for good use. who. they would lose all that support they already the opposition accuses the united states of being in cahoots with the muslim brotherhood so the long range interest of the united states is maintaining the peace treaty between egypt and israel that's their number one and the whole one

point five million billion dollars was for that purpose to be very honest. in jordan and saudi arabia. to be maintained with the new leadership i think the military will go along with that but the opposition may not go along with all the demands of u.s. foreign policy interest in middle east. ok straight to greece to the world update here it's bracing itself for its general strike this year with mass rallies planned in the capital athens the standstill comes as greek lawmakers are set to start a two day long debate over new cuts of course demanded by international creditors the bill which would leave thousands of civil service workers redundant is vital for athens to receive its next bailout the country has remained deep in recession since two thousand and eight. forms have exploded made violent protests in the capital of northern ireland belfast blasts talkative police who responded by firing

water cannons and more than forty police officers have been injured during four days of clashes after protestants were banned passing through a catholic district of the city this during the annual pro british march. now decades of war in afghanistan have brought many consequences including the onset of the world's biggest heroin industry with the amount of opium cultivation cost of the on the rise it's also affecting neighboring pakistan where as well sometimes easier to get high than to get fed. off its investigates. and ambulance rushes to caracas is largest more than other body is brought in to be identified there's no shortage of ways to die in the city target killings bomb blasts and drugs. was hoping to find his father here has been searching karachi for more than two weeks as a last resort he checked this morning but amid the portraits of the dead

a grim discovery and a familiar face. father was addicted to heroin for almost a decade now he's another one of the drugs casualties. but i don't know what they are doing to be hard to break the news to my mother but this is what happened and we have to face it there will be. tears that abdullah believes could have been prevented he says his father tried to quit several times but in pakistan there are few treatment centers and plenty of temptation by just i mean that i could stand has been flooded with heroin it's easy to get that it's even sold out in the open the police do nothing because they're also involved and just a few blocks away a dark underworld in broad daylight these heroin addicts don't even bother hiding their habit it's thought that pakistan has more than four million drug addicts but fewer than eighty dedicated we have clinics. for these young people may be in short supply there's no shortage of heroin and. they may be a problem problem but they share one thing in common with users and lot of them are

moscow and the heroin york that deadly in. afghanistan is the world's largest producer of opium heroine's main ingredient and it accounts for ninety percent of the global supply. roughly forty percent of it is smuggled through pakistan it's a multibillion dollar industry fueled by years of war and instability opium production is up for the third year in a row and is predicted to grow even further and once nato leaves in two thousand and fourteen there are fears that the floodgates will open for the spread of the deadly harvest you are going to get rid of this wall of their school i suppose but you would be inviting end of the war which would be very difficult. to wind up and decorated with a wall of drugs pakistani security experts want nato forces to take heed they have gone drug trade is the elephant in the room the biggest challenge was fox on his face to face that in all honesty and twenty fourteen post for trial strategy drugs

has been left out by the united states nato and other european partners as an issue which is not to be considered. the port of karachi a key drug smuggling exit point the city is flooded with cheap heroin which addicts here say is easier to buy than a healthy meal and near a busy highway this hole in the wall serves as a makeshift heroin takeout window money goes in and drugs are pushed out into eager waiting hands. i tell myself that i'll stop using this drug for the sake of my children that's what i'm thinking about but i can't help myself because my body needs it and the heroine's easy to get. to easy it seems pakistanis get through an estimated one point two billion dollars worth of heroin each year but rather excess just a dollar fifty is enough to get them high. if it's spreading now it's gone to my heart. straight to the heart from the heroin heartland of afghanistan a casualty of the poison spreading from the war zone next door you see captain of

our team karachi back in half an hour's time with more news here in the meantime they saying they die someday so if their country too we meet a very special part of the russian military after the break. or remember those old wacky communist countries who constantly boost their numbers to make themselves feel better or who cares if stores are empty and this piece of paper a one hundred thousand tons of potatoes that is good enough for me well now we're in a new age of technology but the same lying to make yourself feel good is still going strong it just moved over to the capitals world the u.s. state department's bureau of international information programs has spent six hundred thirty thousand dollars on facebook advertising campaigns to get fans a sense of the government is out there to buy likes oh what

a fantastic use tax dollars but wait maybe i'm being too pessimistic perhaps it worked and really helped spread the message of the u.s. state department effectively well inspector general's report says that since the advertising campaign started twenty eleven there has been a dramatic increase in users liking state department sites but the problem is that only two percent of them actually use the sites so you get what you pay for a big bag of likes but if you hard core fans probably the most shocking example is a vision of america group in farsi made for a rainy and which has gotten over four hundred twenty thousand members but only one percent of them is actually in iran where facebook advertising doesn't even exist that's effective getting lots of likes doesn't mean you are actually reaching people instead of paying for them why not you know get them next to the bar by providing interesting honest content on a regular basis oh wait that takes effort and honesty yeah you know what just keep wasting attacked. but that weapon.

music is our job the army our destiny. yes of the good i always say that we are on the front line. front. our are weapons.
