1:03 am
a coalition government. country is more divided than it's ever been and the future is hardly uncertain have to try and form a government that includes the islamists and the seculars. liberals but so far. they haven't managed to do this at all and so what we're likely to see is a swinging between these two poles in the gyptian politics going forward between brotherhood has very deep roots in egyptian society it has millions of supporters it's been around for many years and has to have a stake in power they need to reconcile these two sides because otherwise it's going to be too easy for the islamists to make problems for example by using peaceful protests they can bring the country to its knees the country is already on its knees. a mile in the united states army witnesses are being called forward in the trial of whistleblower bradley manning faces life in prison on
1:04 am
a charge of aiding the enemy manning is accused of leaking thousands of classified documents to wiki leaks abby martin has discussed the case with r.t. producer andrew blake on breaking the set. what happened was so you know this case is three and a half years at the making at this point almost and you know the government's long been saying ok manning you aided the enemy because you want to wiki leaks you gave them files those files got on the internet and then osama bin ladin dialed up his modem and got those papers and because of that we can send you away to prison and use these for the rest of life and you left because a lot people think that's kind of funny that by using the internet and sharing documentation that has actually been proven to cause any harm not really aiding the enemy right so that was that was the defense's argument they said you know this it's a bit preposterous and when you know this trial has been going on actually only happening for a couple of weeks now when the prosecution actually had to present their case and they had to call witnesses and they actually had to try to make an effort to say bradley manning the enemy afterwards the defense said we don't think so we don't
1:05 am
think you even you we don't think we even gave enough evidence that the judge can actually make this decision so they filed a couple of motions a few weeks back and just today colonel denise lynn the military judge presiding over the case she finally responded and said no there's enough evidence that i can actually go ahead and i can make a decision not to make the decision now the court case is going to wrap up sometime next month most likely but she is not dismissing the charges by not dismissing the charge bradley manning will now face a maximum of life plus one hundred fifty four years in prison i believe life plus one hundred fifty four years and he's been well he's a hell of a guy you might live to or yeah yeah who knows you know aiding the enemy or not your life span how is the prosecution going to prove this i mean i guess we don't know but based on what they've already said it seems pretty flimsy elder we already know that manning did all this stuff really a the enemy but we know he's played with the leaks of hundreds of thousands of classified documents that sets that's out there he admitted that the prosecutions tried saying that these documents caused harm to national security and they had people come in and testify about all of these documents separately released iraq

war logs afghan war logs collateral murder video that went on will be a detainee assessment briefs all these information and that's what the last couple of weeks of bennett witnesses being called by the prosecution and by the defense trying to say well either you know he did it knowing that this could happen or you know he was a naive twenty something guy who wanted to help the world but that's going to be ultimately up to the judge to decide and. well that show is available in full on our website r.t. dot com and also there today we're asking whether you saying bradley manning did really a to the anime let's take a look at how some of you have been voting saying about this well as you can see the majority of our viewers think he actually helped america by revealing the government's crimes a third of the respondents disappointing that the charge against him only makes sense if truth itself is now washington's anime while a small minority of the voters believe further investigation is needed and just
1:07 am
about three percent think his revelations were actually godsend. so let us know what you think on this issue by logging on to r.t. dot com. finance ministers and bankers from the world's most powerful economies are meeting in moscow to shape the path for global economic recovery the talks are a precursor to september's g twenty summit in st petersburg but aside from finance there are complex political issues at stake as of now explains. the a current g twenty finance ministers and central bank governors meeting which is taking place here in moscow at the moment is really a part of some major proper aeration as for the outcome a g. twenty summit that will take place in st petersburg the end of the september and actually it is the be allows the official meetings a meeting of those of members obviously twenty stays before the summit kicks off and on but it really seems that it is increasingly being used as
1:08 am
a bargaining chip in international politics first there were rumors that said the u.s. president barack obama may not have sound the g twenty summit in st petersburg if russia grants the former n.s.a. contractor adverse note an asylum but than there were even reports that two u.s. or republican lawmakers hops adjusted to change the location of the upcoming g. twenty summit and not so hold it in russia basically in order to crush russia to actually dies adverse notice now meanwhile there is still of course time until these summit kicks off in st petersburg iran a month and a half and a redo seems that those economists who have gathered here in moscow house put politic aside and really are discussing some major quite challenging economic issues now in particular the g. twenty back quite a fundamental rethink of the rules on top saying multinational companies basically
1:09 am
to fight those loopholes so will we at times those companies are using to avoid billions of dollars and the taxes now as a group of leading economies are sad that the current system does not work especially for those companies which trade online now companies in the spotlight for using this legal but at times quite controversial practice is so fucking profits and low tax countries are us giants really you google amazon and apple and now this issue. has become quite a hot shot gyp this specially for of those countries which are quite badly heads by the un going make a recession and apart from taxation transparency there are many other issues on the agenda of this g twenty finance ministers meeting reach is taking place here in moscow including sources off private investments into economic growth business policy ways how to recover from the economic recession so again as

some of these traditional chili lines they've been bred and developed and passed down from generation to. this is a total struction of the culture of new mexico and i tell you what i mean this this is not going to impact us well into mexico whatever happens here we're going to have to hope world now we're. in the in the open you know organ and so forth. crops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food says. welcome back mrs arty privacy campaigners in britain are sounding the alarm over the dramatic rise of surveillance according to the latest estimates the u.k.
1:12 am
now has at least one c.c.t.v. camera for every fourteen citizens the majority of surveillance systems are operated privately not by the state but activists say that only adds to the lack of transparency and oversight are he says are silly explains if you ever feel like you're being watched perhaps even feel singled out no matter how huge the crowd. chances are it may not just be paranoia. the british security industry association estimates that there are. point nine million a close circuit television or c.c.t.v. cameras in the u.k. that's one in every fifteen or one in every eleven people whether you're going to the shopping mall or what are called sensitive locations like schools and hospitals their own likely to be electronic now in recent years much criticism has been thrown at what is seen as the u.k. government's growing surveillance state but in the most recent report it shows that
1:13 am
in fact majority of c.c.t.v. cameras are not government funded but rather privately owned and mostly used for security reasons. c.c.t.v. schemes are invaluable for crime detection and evidence for the police however one of the main problems highlighted by watchdogs is the fact that there are not still not enough regulations governing public c.c.t.v. surveillance much less those that are privately owned we discussed this issue with the big brother watching the rise of private c.c.t.v. cameras far. by the police and local authorities so it does. it is the government that's acting as big brother doesn't it i think it's a big hole in the u.k. at the moment i think the private sector seen the proliferation of c.c.t.v. cameras public sector and this kind of attention that c.c.t.v. prevents crime from happening and so it's only a matter of time for the private sector.
1:14 am
but we're seeing some incredibly sophisticated pieces of technology appearing via the internet things to do with facial recognition and things that can send people full miles away so i think it's only correct that the law catches up with the technology and states how and when these cameras can be used at the end of the day the sophisticated they can form a very intricate picture of everybody all right thank you very much i am a car for the. information of the vast number of privately owned surveillance cameras were out to the debate of the so-called surveillance society you know this is just coming on the back after one year of the protection of freedoms act was passed in the u.k. where the government was forced to trim down its database of d.n.a. and fingerprints records and it's just coming days after the code of regulation is imposed on the public surveillance cameras of course the debate created by the revelations of edward snowden already ongoing reporting from london.

meanwhile across the atlantic the u.s. government's appetite for its citizens private data seems to be stronger than ever was the obama administration approving yet another extension to the infamous annecy snooping for a gram get the full story at r.t. dot com. london is about to provide a boost to companies and gauged in the highly controversial practice of hydraulic fracking with the government's fledgling record low tax rates for shale gas producers online would tell you what's behind the move. now a judge in the u.s. state of michigan now is ruled that detroit's filing for bankruptcy violates the state constitution has refused to allow the liquidation of the city's acids to pay off creditors the city's dad has now reached around eighteen point five billion dollars and there's no cash to repay with public services already cuts to the bone . david has been following the biggest municipal bankruptcy in national history.
1:16 am
it's something that i think a lot of people in detroit aren't incredibly surprised to hear the city has been in decline for many many years all of my life since i've been born at least but i think what you're seeing really is just this sort of vicious cycle that the city is not really been able to get out of you know you have high unemployment because you have high unemployment you have thousands of people that are just leaving the city in droves to find economic opportunities elsewhere when you have people leaving the city you're obviously producing less tax revenue you have to tighten the budget and not to mention that when you have more unemployment you have more issues like crime and then that's just one inevitability of having high unemployment so that puts a further strain on resources from the police department the fire department etc so it's not all that surprising that a system like that that's frankly unsustainable would would collapse aside from that i would say that the traders are pretty optimistic detroiters and metro detroit are pretty optimistic about this they're not looking at as hitting rock
1:17 am
bottom they feel like we hit rock bottom a long long time ago this is the thing that had to happen to move forward to turn the page and really sort of you know kind of the beginning of the end of the pain. when there is crisis there's also a window of opportunity aspiring entrepreneurs have found a way to earn quick cash on wall street by setting up a shoe shine store and reports on why it's proving so successful wall street it's not just a location it is a culture synonymous with big bonuses bailouts risk and the one percent following the financial meltdown of two thousand and eight most americans criticize bankers right now shining their shoes has turned into a high end business. welcome to starshine and why see it's just different from everything else there's sure there are signs

1:21 am
are growing accustomed to racial profiling and that he has experienced it himself bernas king who is a daughter of martin luther king told us the case demonstrates that the battle for civil rights is far from over. but a lot of groups in america feel oppressed i think for those of us in the african-american community because we've had such a long history of oppression since we've been in this country it makes it a little bit more intense and when we look at the statistics in a lot of the different categories in america whether we're talking about the criminal justice system education health care wealth there are great disparity still as it relates to the african-american community and so you know this particular case i think to me is a sign and a wake up call that we have to finish or continue the unfinished work of martin luther king jr i think perhaps that's why ironically we have the name trayvon
1:22 am
martin not that he is martin luther king jr but i think it's kind of a sign that hey we've got to reconnect with and continue this unfinished work of martin luther king jr particularly in the racial and economic areas. not take a quick look at some other stories from around the world and more rain scuffles between anti-government activists and police have left dozens of people injured one officer was also wounded after being shot by a homemade firearm police allegedly fired shotguns to disperse the crowds who were marching against the ruling sunni dynasty the protester opted a day after the government banned opposition demonstrations in several shia villages following a car blast near a mosque. and sectarian violence is deepening an iraq where a bomb exploded in a sunni mosque and a series of other attacks have killed at least twenty six people the blast came during friday prayers during the islamic holy month of ramadan rampant violence

1:25 am
in tear gas and rubber coated bullets every friday villagers take to the streets to protest against the wall israel is building between them and a nearby city home and on the frontline and in the line of fire children the idea to publish these posters was probably the initiative of a local army commander they were placed on the walls of a mosque and nearby houses assaf says he wasn't throwing stones but the army and settlers have a different version but so is the head of a nearby city home and each day he drives on this road which can makes his settlement in the fifty five thousand jews who live in the area with the rest of his role most of this what would usually happen is they would come and stand on the road to pick up a brick or a large stone and throw it directly and from a short range because many of our residents were hurt three months ago a baby got hit and she's now in a vegetative state stones kill and that's why we expect the military to do what it
1:26 am
takes in order for it to stop but the military is helpless and doesn't know what to do one soldiers are clearly prohibited from targeting noncombatants it becomes murky when they feel threatened is so sure that there is a chain which begins with soldiers being afraid to act because they're not backed up by us it continues with the palestinians understanding that the soldiers will not act these really deterrence is weakening the terrorists growing israeli's get heard in israel is not protecting its citizens it's really figures a rock throwing incidents are up by a hundred and ten percent in the last few months but the army's track record for dealing with palestinian children is dismal at best a recent un report found that the i.d.f. we teenie abuses and tortures youngsters in the occupied west bank the community has hit back by putting up posters of its own the message that the. art of israel

equivalent of getting third degree burns all over her body and of course after winning the case mutual pharmaceutical company is demanding their millions of dollars back from the woman who they naturally blame for having side effects from the medicine they made themselves remember this is not just a ruling about one drug but a ruling about all generic drugs which are eighty percent of the u.s. market all of them will not have any accountability i cannot wrap my head around the logic of only punishing the creator of a product and granting immunity to anyone that later reproduces said product i mean would any sane person say that if you shoot a person with a colt forty five pistol that is a crime but if you use a copycat call made in mexico to blow your neighbors off well that's ok because it's a generic copy no no sane person would allow generic drug producers to have no liability for their product but that's just my opinion.
