but really. i. left a furious as it emerges some of the country's top cops are engaged in a couple up related to a frenzy of illegal hacking bugging and wiretapping. people in over one hundred american cities have rallied to demand justice for trayvon of the on armed black teenager whose killer was acquitted a week ago sparking outrage at the country. and in cairo thousands of supporters of also president morsi bristling with protests today despite clashes in the early hours of saturday that left three people did.
7:01 pm
i. know more of are you watching around the world or this is our to you with me would say it's good to have you with us. the u.k. serious organized crime agency has refused to name companies and individuals reportedly paid to private investigators to access information the legally it's out of fear for their reputations and the possible damage to those implicated in illegal wiretapping and hacking the agency said to have known about the practice for yes' without pressing charges and failing to declare e g m p's earlier investigative journalist tony gosling told my colleague kevin irwin that behavior is in itself criminal. it's quite clear that the hacking inquiry which lord leveson conducted is just the tip of the iceberg there's a massive industry out there of criminals actually what they're doing is proposing as private investigators acking into lots of databases mostly government databases
7:02 pm
where people have given information to government agencies obviously in confidence and these are the this information is now coming out talking about the national health service the police tax authorities banks councils quite clearly this is criminal and so i wonder whether this serious organized crime agency is actually somehow part of organized crime itself if it's not doing anything about this the previous boss of serious organized crime agency syrian andrews has said the reason that they don't want to do this is that it could taint big companies names and the names of powerful people one final thought some of these companies allegedly involved blue chip companies very important companies for the british economy i guess it's also not a good thing to be coming out at a time when the british economy is not a great great health anyway is it well the british economy is going to be even worse health if this is allowed to continue if criminal companies are allowed to get away with it that means that legitimate companies honest firms are actually
7:03 pm
being overtaken by those companies if they're able to make profits and get an advantage over honest law abiding companies that's why this is so important kevin is because it really means that we start to go down the road of a criminal state that is to say the criminals win out while the honest people go down and we seriously do not want that to go any further here in britain otherwise britain is a joke if there's no rule of law in this country if these people can continue to get away with it creating a massive industry what they're doing is they're actually giving a green. fear of crime in the u.k. is shattering records in terms of the amount of c.c.t.v. that is in use as i'm it's now showing there could be up to six million security cameras operating in the country one for every eleven people privacy groups are serious as saying george orwell's nineteen eighty-four was never intended to be an instruction manual tester cilia takes a look who's watching him. if you ever feel like you're being watched perhaps even
7:04 pm
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 the tube in the 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 have 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 of 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.
7:05 pm
surveillance much less those that are privately owned we discussed this issue with the big brother watch u.k. reisa private c.c.t.v. cameras far outnumber those installed by the police and local authorities so it does challenge the idea that 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 u.k. at the moment i think the private sector seen the ration of c.c.t.v. cameras 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 before the private sector. started installing 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 day. very very sophisticated and they can form
7:06 pm
a very intricate picture of everybody all right thank you very much i'm a car for that will certainly be a new information on the vast number of privately owned a surveillance cameras will add 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 that 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. a week off to george zimmerman was acquitted of shooting did to the black teenager trayvon martin angry americans have taken to the streets in their thousands marches have taken place in the one hundred cities across the country to call federal prosecution as well as to highlight what's seen as racism. and reports from one of
7:07 pm
the demonstrations you see hundreds of people here at a d.c. courthouse demanding justice for trayvon martin the young black man who was shot dead by a neighborhood watch volunteer last week the jury in florida found george zimmerman not guilty of murder and manslaughter all these people think that trayvon martin being white he would have been alive even president obama thinks so too so rights activist here is all that is that george zimmerman followed trayvon martin. because he was black the seventeen year old trayvon martin was walking home in his own neighborhood with a pack of skittles candies in his pocket the jury apparently found that although it was a bad judgment on the part of george zimmerman to pursue the young man but when the true confronted each other zimmerman acted in self-defense the fact of the matter is that under florida's stand your ground law the defense doesn't even have to prove that their client is an angel it's enough to prove reasonable doubt that the defendant acted in self-defense and they're free to go so in this case you have a clock. different race civil rights vigilantes guns and self-defense laws the us
7:08 pm
has a history of racial disparities in the application of criminal was a very recent example also in the state of florida a black woman a mother of three was sentenced to twenty years in jail because she fired a bullet at a wall to scare off her abusive husband nobody was injured and the woman is in jail for twenty years while george zimmerman walks free so you see the basis of these people's out wage there have been protests around the country throughout the week following the zimmerman verdict dozens of people were arrested most of the arrests were made on charges of unlawful assembly in some places like you san bernardino protests turned violent demonstrators threw rocks at passing cars the president america's first black president spoke from the heart on friday when he recalled some of the instances when he had been looked upon with suspicion for no apparent reason because he's black but the president also tried to put out the fire of protests throughout the country by basically saying as much as you don't like the
7:09 pm
verdict don't blame the jury and the judge blame the existing law in washington i'm going to check out. on our website a we have live updates on the justice for trayvon protests including photos videos as well as firsthand accounts of what's happening at each event all that's just a click away and com. write in age of destroyed under arrest continues amid the ongoing political crisis soft a bomb exploded near a police station and the city of it's my idea thousands of pro mostly supporters once again gathered outside a mosque in the east of cairo they have a stage a sit in the way every night since the army shot dead more than fifty civilians protesting against the ousting off the president well than two weeks ago and already on saturday the army blocked a huge margin by mostly supporters on the republican guard barracks where many believe the former president is being held assess the day after three people were
7:10 pm
killed in clashes between opposing groups in the city of one suiter a new interim president has ordered a group of experts facade working on the amending of the country's constitution which is needed before the new elections at the start of next year general of the y u s can die said the muslim brotherhood who 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 a source of politics again 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 travails 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
7:11 pm
quite difficult to see a way out of this without. any side to compromising at the moment it's up to the brotherhood who rejected most of the talks and negotiations so it's a standoff that continues unfortunately 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. i've been while egypt's security forces have raided the office of an iranian t.v. channel in cairo and detained its director i'm. tired of political activists his family is involved in the rallies in egypt claims the military will go to any land that to increase its power. my family is just one family that you know that for many families in egypt or to the streets to demand that the first freely elected
7:12 pm
the president the first legitimate president of egypt be reinstated because what happened was a military coup i think now all the military knows that. there are millions and millions of people on the streets who do not want this army who will to come back again along with mubarak's corruption right now you see it's pretty dark stakes are going back bubbling to the surface and on the military will do just as it has done before whatever it can do to seventy two and to you know qual these protests that are in the streets right now as they have been for. prosecution witnesses take the stand in the trial of bradley manning that we can exert whistleblower charge with aiding the enemy it's obvious a period told forty one she told he was a spy all along we bring you the details and analysis on the hearing in a few minutes. plus the palestinian teenagers find
7:13 pm
themselves a turning into the poster boys of a kind of that's as the israeli military class of the walls with the wanted posters showing off their children's faces while on that i.d.f. news scare tactic often quickly. wealthy british style. time to write for. the. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cons or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to conjure reports on a. apple for example much of it trying to factoring is done on in the united states so i don't see why the american senators would be so concerned about it paying or
7:14 pm
not paying taxes because ultimately it's not going to get any share of that and that's happening already and of course we're drunk in here about how do you share the jock's is provided there are touches a problem today there's nothing to share because we're previous regime where these companies don't break. you're watching r.t. prosecution witnesses in the trial of bradley manning have accused the weekend leaks whistleblower of lacking patriotism and his immediate superiors said she had a gut feeling manning was a spy because he smoked too many cigarettes and drank too much coffee bradley manning is charged with aiding the enemy and faces life in prison for leaking
7:15 pm
classified documents to wiki leaks and now it is breaking the set every walton discussed developments with producer and ridley. 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 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 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 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
7:16 pm
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 fairly 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 his death leaves 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 that manning did all this stuff naturally 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 to testify about all of these documents separately released iraq war logs afghan war logs collateral murder video
7:17 pm
it up on tunnel bay detainee assessment briefs all these information and that's what the last couple of weeks of ten 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 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. in older an island thousands of british loyalists today stage a parade in support of an earlier rally stopped by authorities there is intervention sparked of five nights of writing for the stoking sectarian emotions they are to serve as reports of from the gathering. oh into the great cost of the study was that the late stuff was when he was only there in georgia for not seeing the old doing shots which is a nationalist to the police quoting now the crazy marched up to the line of the marshals on the school did everything possible the fleet fleet we've given the

critical situation and it's working a sufis one of the children whose faces was plastered around village in the more than we spend 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 of their 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 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. as soft 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 in the thirty five thousand jews who live in the area with the rest of israel. 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 the message that the. art of it is what you mean not. as far south he has exams but can't concentrate way we have soldiers that are on

the prowl looking for him and his classmates pointlessly r.t. for could do him spend. after the break max and stacey discuss the instruments of manipulation used to conduct what they call a mass of me the kaiser report is coming your way in a couple of minutes. 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 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
7:27 pm
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 neighbor's it 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.
