on tahrir square crowds gathered to voice their support for what they see as a revolution and to rally behind the new interim government who seek out from all spoke to a journalist in cairo says the muslim brotherhood doesn't want to see the middle ground. the real problem that we're facing right now is from the time of president morsi taking over it's been or is or some politics game it's all or none and that is mainly the reason he's been pushed out of power because he would not share it with it with anyone else who would not succumb to opposition and now that he's been pushed out of power at the same attitude prevails that they're not willing to take a compromise at all and i and the reason is because this or the organization is bent on dominating and pushing their way of of politics and so it's actually quite difficult to see a way out of this without. any side to compromising at the moment it's up to the
12:03 pm
brotherhood who've rejected most of the talks and negotiations so it's a standoff that continues unfortunately and of course you're very on the ground you sort of have a much better perspective of how high the emotions are running how do you see this playing out i mean could these tensions escalate into a civil war perhaps or do you think that some sort of political political solution is possible here right now the military has taken matters into their hands in a way from a security perspective at least so the idea of a civil war is far fetched because it's unlikely that the military will split over the muslim brotherhood because they face a lot of rich rejection from the people on the ground and from within the military institution due to the way they've handled things but political activists are all siah told us that those pushing for mohammed morsi is reinstatement feel they're being denied democracy. my family is just one family that you know for many families in egypt to the streets to demand that the first really elect the

president first widget president you can't be reinstated because what happened was a military coup i think all the military know is that. there are millions and millions of people on the streets and do not want this army people to come back again along with mubarak's option right now we see it's pretty dark stakes come back bubbling to the surface and the military will do just as it has done before whatever it can. do and you know qual these protests that are in the streets right now as they have been for. all the way now the platform for alexina volley this time at a moscow train station where the russian government. tells supporters he's still running from a while appealing his followers jail sentence for embezzled much more not ahead. also to arm to the teeth perfectly trained now israel's military is resorting to

using the wanted posters to intimidate palestinian children through the same protest of. britain's addiction to surveillance the shuttering records that's a much the there is no one camera for every eleven people who see groups of furious saying george orwell's one thousand nine hundred four was never intended to be an instruction manual reports. 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. that's one in every fifteen or one in every eleven people whether you're with a shopping mall or what are called sensitive locations like schools and hospitals there are likely to be electronic eyes on you know in recent years much criticism
12:06 pm
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 in fact majority of c.c.t.v. cameras are not government funded but rather privately owned and mostly used for security reasons another b s are you stressed 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 watch price of private c.c.t.v. cameras far those installed 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 big for there was a hole in the hay 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
12:07 pm
a matter of time and the private sector. private c.c.t.v. needs but we're seeing some incredibly sophisticated pieces of technology appearing via the internet things to do with facial recognition and things that can sense people miles away so i think it's only the law catches up with the technology in states how and when these cameras can be used at the end of the day. we can form a very intricate picture of everybody all right thank you very much i'm a. new information on the vast number of privately owned surveillance cameras out to the debate of the so-called surveillance society you know this is just coming on the back of 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. out of regulation is imposed on public surveillance cameras of course the debate created by the revelations of

edward snowden already ongoing reporting from london. while britain looks to rein in its surveillance addiction washington it seems there's no such qualms about its own on a website how through a secret court. renewed the power to harvest the phone records of millions of american. corporations having amassed the strongest force of any rebel groups here is an oil funded emirate stretching from the mediterranean to the persian gulf and. the witnesses are being called to testify against whistleblower bradley manning his former boss says she'll always suspected it was a spy among her arguments about heavy smoking and that he drank strong coffee but he faces life in prison for leaking classified documents to wiki leaks after the judge confirmed the most serious charge of aiding the enemy and not is breaking the set program discussed developments with producer under the plague. what happened
12:09 pm
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 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 never been proven to cause any harm you know really aiding the enemy right so that was that was the defense's argument and they said you know this it's a bit preposterous and when you know the styles been going on it 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 give way to 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
12:10 pm
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 it's been 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 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 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 have been witness is 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 no 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. well for to see that i can say there's much more that show available in full r.t. dot com while you're there too are inviting you to tell us what you think bradley manning really did did he aid the enemy give us your thoughts this is a big voting so far thanks if you have the majority of your sixty percent believe that he helped america by revealing government crimes because over a third of you there say the charge against him only makes sense of truth itself is no washington telling me a third exactly just four percent of you on shore and think more investigation is needed and three percent or even fewer if you think his revelations benefit to groups like al qaeda we invite you to head to r.t. dot com if you haven't already cast your vote plenty of time to do its.

12:13 pm
currency wars although the i.m.f. chief christine lagarde believes that the danger of currency manipulation is pretty much exaggerated now what is really remarkable about this meeting is that the brics countries are also taking part in already trying to combat some world financial problems now this meeting is also a part of some major preparations for the upcoming g. twenty summit that will take place in st peter's birth this september really seems at the same time that it is increasingly being used as a bargaining chip an international politics now their worst some rumors and speculations that's the u.s. president barack obama will would not be able to meet with the president lies even if we can in moscow if russia grants asylum to the former anas a contract or adverse notion though earliest such a meeting was announced to take place around the time of the a neology twenty

summit now white house press secretary jay carney he later outlined that the president in turns to travel to russia for the g twenty summit but refused to comment further and he also acknowledged that he it was being deliberately vague on that issue now there were other reports that two u.s. republican lawmakers a suggested to even change the location of the g twenty summit but still it really seems that those economists who have gathered here are for this a g twenty finance ministers meeting. put politics aside and we're really discussing some challenging economic issues. while the world's richest nations work what they can get from each other it's all different story for those at the sharp end it's desperation for the people of detroit these days once america's mighty engine room but now crumbling under the weight of debt we go to report coming up whether this is the end ole beginning to revalue to read the bills keep it was

a million dollars mistake immediately into custody but prosecutors insisted that he should be subject only to a travel ban until his appeal is her out of jail term ignited condemnation on the streets of some of russia's key cities and on the internet catch up with accurate speed of the twenty four seven you can r.t. dot com and also find images there from the rally which took place in central moscow. a small sign of relief for pensioners and people with disabilities in detroit with the bankrupt city saying their benefits are safe at least for the next six months the city wants the jewel of american industries gone bust with more than eighteen billion dollars worth of debt but as artie's a mirror david explains next it's the 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 been in decline for many many years all of my life since i've been born at least
12:18 pm
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 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 the page and really sort of you know kind of the beginning of the end of the pain

that's one of the most sophisticated armies in the world state 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 those posters threatening to find them wherever they are like a sheriff in a small town with a bounty on outlaws hid every night nearly drove the other guy's bombs and sound bombs towards the houses before i've been to let 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 northern west bank the warning reads we are the army 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
12:25 pm
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. stuff 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 connects his settlement and the thirty five thousand jews who live in the area with the rest of his role. what would usually happen is they would come and stand on the road 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

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 branded 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 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 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 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.
