8:03 am
until a political solution of some sort is accomplished it is possible that egypt can recover its not its not yet but it does have a very big problem unemployment social inequality public see these need to be addressed and i'm not going to be very tough now there is a very complex and new covenant that we might have prompted that's just been stated and there are many economic next son people with very big wishful mcrib. no doubt very wise and well placed to set about this difficult. but they're not going to manage it unless they have a political reconciliation and so that needs to come. in and there's really no sign of the moment but you saw it's deeply divided and. as long as that's the case the situation really is only going to teary eyed. well on the way another

platform for alex a not volunteer this time at a moscow train station where the russian anti-government blogger would turn to tell supporters will still run for mayor while appealing his find year jail term for embezzlement and that story is coming up for you ahead also armed to the teeth and perfectly trained now israel's military is resorting to using wanted posters to intimidate palestinian children with those stones in protest at the settlements. britain's addiction to surveillance is shattering records with an estimated that there may now be one camera pardon me one camera for every eleven people now privacy groups are furious they're saying that george orwell's one thousand nine hundred four was never intended to be an instruction manual artie's tusshar cilia takes a look. 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 between four point one and five point nine million a close circuit television or c.c.t.v. cameras in the u.k. 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 they're likely to be electronic now in recent years much criticism has been thrown out what is seen as the u.k. government's growing surveillance state but in the most recent report it shows that in fact majority of c.c.t.v. cameras are not government funded but rather privately owned mostly used for security reasons and now the. 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 those installed by the police and local authorities so it does. it is
8:06 am
the government that's acting as big brother doesn't it i think it's big for there was a hole in the u.k. at the moment i think the private sector seen the. 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 in the private sector. private c.c.t.v. footage but we're seeing some incredibly sophisticated pieces of technology appearing via the internet so things to do with facial recognition and things that can sense people 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 the day. very sophisticated and you 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
8:07 am
cameras 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 was imposed on public surveillance cameras and the debate created by the revelations of edward snowden already ongoing reporting from london. while britain looks to rein in its surveillance addiction washington and seems has no such qualms about its own on our web site you can find out how through a secret court president obama's renewed the n.s.a.'s power to harvest the phone records of millions of americans. also they're. having them ask the strongest force of any rebel group syria's islamists now plan an oil funded emirate stretching from the mediterranean to the persian gulf that story a lot more for you at our dot com. army witnesses are now being called
8:08 am
to testify against a whistleblower bradley manning his former boss says that she had always suspected that he was a spy among her arguments manning's heavy smoking and that he drank strong coffee well manning does face life in prison for leaking those classified documents to wiki leaks this after the judge confirms the most serious charge of aiding the enemy is breaking the set abby martin discussed the developments with producer andrew blake take a look. 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 you see it for the rest of life and you left because a lot of 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 and they said you know this is a bit preposterous and when you know this trial has been going on actually only happening
8:09 am
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 to defend said we don't think so we don't think you even you we don't think you 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 lind 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 should not 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 and yeah you know 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
8:10 am
that manning did all this stuff aid 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 we had people come in and testify about all of these documents released to 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 bend witnesses being called by the process. 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 decided. of course you can watch the full program at our website r.t. dot com and while there take some time to tell us whether you believe bradley manning actually did and i mean as some of you have already voted let's take a look at how the numbers break down the majority of you right here sixty percent believe that manning actually helped america by revealing government crimes now about a third of you say that the charge against him only makes sense if the truth itself
8:11 am
is washington's enemy and just about four percent in the yellow believe frankly you guys are on shore and three percent right there believes that more pardon me that these revelations were in fact somehow helpful to al qaeda so if you haven't cast your ballot yet log onto our t.v. dot com and vote. the key financier's from the world's pardon me twenty leading economies are here in moscow to thrash out big business this weekend in what is seen as a precursor to september's g twenty summit in russia more now from artie's medina a question about. they g twenty backed quite a fundamental rethink of the rules on top saying multinational companies basically

to fight those loopholes so will we each at times those companies are using to avoid billions of dollars and taxes now as a group of leading economies saadat 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 processes of booking profits and low tax countries are us a giants really you google amazon and apple and now this issue has become quite a hot stop gypped especially for those countries which are quite badly heads by the un going economic 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 source dissolve private investments into economic growth business policy ways house he recovered from the economic recession
8:13 am
. and all the world's richest nations work on what they can get from one another as a whole different story for those at the sharp end it's desperation for the people of detroit once america's mighty engine room but now from bling under the weight of the deep debt we report on whether this is the end or a new beginning. and meet the girls keeping wall street shoes shiny the ones humble trade goes glam that and many more stories for you after just a very short break to stay with us. i would rather ask questions of people in positions of power instead of speak on

8:15 am
supporters of anti-corruption activist aleksei in of all me have flooded a moscow train station to welcome the blogger as you returned home from the court hearings in central russia he was released on appeal after being handed five years jail for embezzlement once he arrived in a volley had pledged to continue his campaign to become mayor of moscow his prison sentence was announced the day after he officially registered as a candidate for the september race of all he was found guilty of defrauding
8:16 am
a state owned timber company of about half a million bucks and was taken immediately into custody but prosecutors then insisted that he should be subject only to a travel ban until his appeal is heard. of course not only is jail term and benighted condemnation on the streets in some of russia's key cities as well as on the internet or on that r t dot com where you can also find images of the rally which took place right here in central moscow. it's a small sigh of relief for pensioners and people with disabilities in troy two with the bankruptcy saying their benefits are safe at least for the next six months the city once the jewel of american industry is now eighteen in eighteen point five billion dollars in debt with little prospect of actually paying that money back but as our teaser mirror david explains it's a chance for a new beginning rather than a painful end. it's something that i think a lot of people in detroit aren't incredibly surprised to hear that the city has
8:17 am
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 has 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 a 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 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
8:18 am
the page and really sort of you know kind of the beginning of the end of the pain shining shoes on wall street seems to be back in style but this time with a little bit of sex appeal run these days by a financial high fliers it's certainly a long way from the rags on the desperation usually associated with the thing up brogues and as i discovered the money is not something to scoff at either. 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 y.c. it's just different from everything else and there's sure there are times that the black. they don't offer the same things that we are or the store offers large
8:19 am
leather chairs flat screen t.v.'s and oh a women only staff uniformed in teeny black shorts and fitted tank tops for the first week we had about one hundred people a day no coincidence that nearly all of those people happen to be financier's bankers or other wall street employees when you start a business like this it makes sense to fish with official if you're going to put in a business where you're going to shine people's shoes you're in the heart of the financial district you have to make it somewhat resonate with the type of people in the type of demographic that you're actually pertaining to. while the so-called wall street demographic has bounced back exceptionally well following the great recession economic recovery has been extremely difficult for young americans latest figures suggest ten million u.s. workers under the age of twenty five can't find full time work idea this to help out with the bells and everything goodly part time while in school and i start
8:20 am
learning how much extra we're not sure twenty five year old college graduate leah prefers not to specify it is very tough this summer special on five minute shoe shiners is four dollars down from seven of the service is disturbed by a very walling a comfortable. come watch a game with. or there's class korean t.v. and lovely ladies as well it's a hard it's a magnet so you know attract better attention starshine also offers services at corporate events and trade shows the store meanwhile will soon be serving beer and wine. the business is owned by kevin white jr and his father who both work in finance neither were available for an on camera interview but tell our t.v. that business is booming so maybe those who argue that wall street creates jobs were right marina port ny r.t.

new york. time now for a look at some of the other news headlines from around the world we begin in the u.s. where one hundred cities are bracing for protests a week after in florida court had acquitted george zimmerman of murder shot dead unarmed black teenager trayvon martin claiming that it was self-defense now his acquittal had sparked days of rage with civil rights activists accusing the point of racial bias. latest violent anti-government protests in bahrain have left dozens of people wounded including a police man officers allegedly fired shotguns to disperse crowds march against the ruling sunni monarchy and their anger was sparked by police searches of alleged protesters homes as well as a ban on rallies in several shia muslim villages. israel is to release several longtime palestinian prisoners as part of a deal to start peace talks brokered by the u.s. secretary of state john kerry he said that the two sides are ready for negotiations
8:22 am
which are expected to start in washington within two weeks now kerry met leaders of both the states on his sixth visit to the region in just as many months. while the politicians try to revive the peace process the outrage over israel's settlements refuses to die down among palestinians what's more the military crackdown on protesters is seen children end up on the idea of swanton lists our middle east correspondent paula slayer takes up the story armed to the teeth it's one of the most sophisticated armies in the world stage of the art weapons high tech defense and world class combat training but when it comes to dealing with an unconventional enemy children it resorts to this post is threatening to find them wherever they are like a sheriff in a small town with a bounty on an outlaw as he did every night. the. sound
8:23 am
bombs the words the houses before i've been pollute the children live in very bad so critical situation and it's working a suffers one of the children whose faces was plastered around village in the more than we spend the warning reads we of all me be careful we will catch you if we see you. we were very afraid when they put our pictures up there threatening us that they will arrest us and they will come and take us from our home. the posters went up one afternoon after another demonstration ended 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 front line and in the line of fire children the idea to publish these posters was probably the initiative of the local army commander they were placed on the walls of a mosque and nearby houses as off says he wasn't throwing stones but the army and settlers have a different version heard so is the head of
8:24 am
a nearby city home and each day he drives on this road which connects his settlement in the thirty five thousand jews who live in the area with the rest of israel last august 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 takes in order for it to stop israeli figures say 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 army not the descendants of the. as for his sons he has exams but can't concentrate
8:25 am
way we have soldiers that are on the prowl looking for him and his classmates. who could do him spend. so what exactly is a financial law bottom and then how does it let some rake in extraordinary profits i have no idea but you can find out next by watching the kaiser report stay with us . if you want is something truly baffling the u.s. supreme court has ruled that generic drug makers cannot be sued for bad reactions to their products only the original brand of creators of the drugs can the court's decision was five to four overturning a multimillion dollar award for a woman who was horribly wounded by taking
8:26 am
a medication which gave her toxic epidermal necrosis which is basically the equivalent of getting third degree burns all over her body and of course after winning the case of 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 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 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.
8:27 am
to kill right on the street. first street. and i would think the church. on our reporters would. instruct. me and. on my pillow. i've seen the perception of the cross many times it doesn't matter if there's snow a heat wave or hail stones people keep on going but i don't expect anything just one i told myself i keep on going as long as my heart told me to that's all i want to at the moment micki i have sense so much she's seen i'm carrying these sayings on my shoulder.

8:29 am
continue downward spiral the vix is the volatility index of course and first less actually look at the chart here this is over the past three years as you've seen the vix volatility fear index is the klein ing declining declining and a lot of it has to do by the way with whether or not ben bernanke he is going to continue to print money and reduce volatility in their minds or not investors appear to be fearless as witnessed by the new equity market records in the s. and p. five hundred and dow jones industrial average investors likely are in continued risk on mode due to unchanged fed policy as outlined by chairman bernanke so as long as the fed continues to waffle over q e and went to taper off of q.e. the vix index the vix e.t.s. will likely continue to crash as any fed easing is better than fear well this is all very interesting because as you.
