millions of sim cards are at risk of being. thanks to a bug which could leave personal data on phones why dope anyone who wants. every victim of u.s. drone strikes in pakistan is a civilian. deals another blow to america's claims that. immigration in the u.k. is widening the wage gap between the rich and poor. leading to quote speeded up.

good morning from moscow it's now eight am on tuesday. with the worldwide headlines thanks for joining. the sim card in your mobile phone or maybe leaving it wide open and surveillance teams trying to access your data up to seven hundred fifty million phones a report from an in built bug which allows any third party to steal the sims encryption key. turns out that as many as seven hundred fifty million cell phones around the world could be carrying flawed sim cards that could potentially leave their owners vulnerable to financial fraud and surveillance now sim cards hold key user data and have up until now been generally known to be one of the most secure parts of a mobile phone however the recently discovered bugs could allow truckers to access personal information and carry out illegal transactions and this was researched and announced by thirty one year old ethical hacker and we're now in german code break

of course to know after repeated attempts to hack into sim cards over the last three years you know says a shocking number of them can be hacked within minutes no one has discovered a way to essentially get complete control of an individual's phone by finding out the unique encryption key of each sim card with just one hidden text message allowing whether breaks into the system to do whatever the user of the phone is able to do and what this means is if there is credit card information or pay-pal data on that given cell phone being broken into that information becomes acceptable and could easily be used often without the cellphone user realizing that this is being done before it's potentially too late artie's video agency abruptly spoke exclusively with cars to know who described in more detail the threats that this could all lead to. short term threat on criminals finally acquired this method is fraught there will abuse the cards to send

a message for instance they could also steal banking tokens from them in countries where this used looking at the midterm surveillance questions because to do encrypt hold the voice communications originating from the phone as well as data communication so all of this could be intercepted and decoded by a well equipped surveillance team now i know is known for his activity in exploiting vulnerabilities of secure systems and then providing companies with his minding so they can. these issues before criminal harker's lay their hands on these technical flaws and he estimates that roughly a quarter of the total three billion sim cards using the data encryption standard throughout the world could be impacted by this research study is now conducted it's important to note that there has been no pattern identifying exactly which sim cards manufacturers are more more vulnerable than others but the security expert says it will take hackers about six months to figure out how to do what he has done

and releasing this information now gives manufacturers enough time to cut shop and now fixing this problem out of the un international telecommunications union has dubbed these latest revelations quote highly significant and is now in the process of notifying agencies in almost two hundred countries. one concern is the u.s. security services don't even need access to your phone so what you don't even need you to turn it on in fact there's a lot more about the n.s.a. is a very sophisticated spying method online right now with all three daughters called . and one of the operations of the national security agency is now equivalent to nuclear secrets dot com explores how the organization is protecting itself to prevent the next edward snowden from exposing. right from the sea. first rate. and i think that you're.

on a reporter's. instrument. the the in. good to have you with us here on r.t. today u.s. drone strikes in pakistan have resulted in a high number of civilian deaths this according to leaked documents from pakistani officials there are poor details attacks over a three year period and contradicts washington's claims that they are precise in targeting militants that's a have a look at how many civilians died during that documented period from two thousand and six to two thousand and nine so a total of seven hundred forty six people were killed by more than seventy drone attacks carried out in pakistan's tribal areas and according to the leaked documents one in every five victims was a civilian there were a lot of children who were among them they made up at least twelve percent of the total number of casualties and cia director john brennan has insisted that drone

strikes are only authorized if civilian casualties can be avoided realities guy nature can reports washington is expanding operations to have a drone in every corner of the world. u.s. intelligence services want to have the world covered on top of spying on the world communications washington is expanding its drone surveillance operations as you know under the umbrella of fighting terror the u.s. now operates a host of bases in the middle east and africa a lot of these operations seem to have little or nothing to do with u.s. national security like the work that u.s. spy drones do for the turkish military so u.s. camera equipped predator drones hover above the rugged border with iraq and stream high resolution imagery to the turkish armed forces helping them pursue fighters from the kurdistan workers party or p.k. kate here you see kurds who got hold of some pieces of a u.s. drone that either crashed by itself or was shot down not clear so there's this

synergy between the u.s. and turkey where the turks host the u.s. drone base and the u.s. does surveillance for them the u.s. is making other tradeoffs in the region and thanks to such favor exchanges it gets to increase its presence there oftentimes against the will of the people in some of those countries for example the pew research center has just released a survey showing that eighty two percent of turks disapprove of the obama administration's international campaign of drone attacks but regardless of the backlash the march of drones continues an expense for beyond known combat zones the commander of u.s. forces in africa told congress in february that he needed a fifteen fold increase in surveillance recorded songs sending televisions gathering on the continent fifteen fold that's in africa the pentagon says the u.s. is also committed to increasing its surveillance in asia and the pacific. which effectively means be where china at the other end of the world in south and central

america u.s. military commanders say they need drones for counter-narcotics operations so in every region on every continent there is something to keep an eye on but everybody understands that it's not just an eye wherever there are the spy drones there will be the predators waiting right behind to go on a kill mission and washington's requests and that's where america's world policing or urges often clash with international law in washington i'm going to take them or i to five hundred inmates including senior al-qaeda members are now on the run in iraq that's after two high security prisons near baghdad attacked by gunman and they killed at least twenty security personnel in a battle that lasted around ten hours before setting the prisoners free sara flounders the co-director of the international action center has told us that the prison breaks highlight the troubling security situation in the country. grave

itself as a prison was notorious for us torture techniques humiliation sexual humiliation tactics that were used it was turned back over to the iraqi government we have no idea if any conditions improved so there was a prison break that we do know but we also really know that it's a us war and occupation that consciously created the sectarian violence of course al qaida or the government they don't serve the interests of the iraqi people but the policy of inflaming sectarian differences and consciously for mentoring and providing arms and funding and whatnot to groups who inflame sectarian violence that policy came from the u.s. of course a state of security for any of the people of iraq has been terrible has been terrible through the years of u.s. sanctions absolutely devastating during the u.s.

invasion the years of occupation and it hasn't substantially improved since. still ahead for you here on r.t. that of hounding syrian army aides of the e.u. decides the wing is a terror group we bring you expert opinion on the possible consequences of the sanctions that will follow. and to egypt it's a case of deja vu words rival rallies of pro and anti morsi supporters are turning deadly we look at whether the country is ready for another full blown revolt. another here on our left wing think tank is warning inequality in the u.k. could skyrocket in the next few years if indeed the government doesn't review its welfare policies fabby and society says cuts to benefits will increase the gap between the rich and poor twice as fast as under margaret thatcher in the one nine hundred eighty s. a period infamous for high unemployment political blog. you believe there are other

opinions and options to britain's current policies it's true that the u.k. had a large deficit after the financial crisis but they're much fairer ways to reduce it such as through increasing taxes on. facts because the government rather than doing that is actually the top rate of tax from fifty p. to forty five p. any economist will tell you one of the. was policy to adults in a time of stagnation is to reduce the incomes of the poorest as. we do because the poor are. required to spend rather than save whatever they receive when they stimulate growth as a result but fortunately with the coalition we so far we've had a combination of unfairness. why do quality and.

little growth. the u.k. is a rising rich. also fueled by immigration foreign workers willing to take jobs for lower wages and that's led to calls for tightening immigration. investigates the trend with long term unemployment in the u.k. hitting a seventeen year high long lines of job centers have become a typical and while many britons are struggling to find a job a recent report by to finish academics says that immigrants from eastern europe are seven percent more likely to be employed and this trend generally holds true in the agriculture business on this berry farm here in kent the workers spend about eight to nine hours a day picking berries in the sun in the heat it is physical work now under the seasonal agricultural workers scheme of the u.k. it's estimated that there are thousands of foreigners working on the u.k.

farms. robert pascoe who runs this farm says there are between three hundred and three hundred fifty immigrant workers during the harvest season mostly coming from eastern europe remaining probably in the majority we need supply of people who come in for the summer season and that's not so popular amongst the english people because they they want continuity it's not considered to be. a profession in the same time you've got a lot of keen enthusiastic and bright eastern europeans to come for six months and we see how bright they are they enjoy doing what they're doing and wish to stay longer and of course they're becoming more. like a volley or maybe it has been working on this farm for nine years do you mind doing all this physical hard work and i think i'm doing that if i was moving during that i would move here both of. them back in my country the report comes on the one hand

amid the government's goal of decreasing the net immigration to the tens of thousands and concerns that cheap migrant labor is decreasing local wages and on the other hand widely unpopular cuts to the u.k.'s welfare system which they work and pensions secretary says is in order to restructure the culture to discourage people from living off the dole and find work instead i think most british people are strongly hardworking and you know industrious we've also got an element it's true i think we've got an element of privilege i want to work i'm not quite sure how big that he's but then you've got another problem of just the benefits trap and that's what we should be concentrating on how do we get people back into work how do we motivate young motivated and you don't do that by bringing wives and wives of cheap labor who just going on because by the end of the year the e.u.'s temporary work and travel restrictions a book a rumanians will be lifted giving them the same rights to work in the u.k. as other e.u. citizens farm owners spirit. this would lead to bulgarians and romanians leaving

farm jobs for hotels and offices and are calling for more temporary workers from non e.u. countries while others fear this will bring in an influx of immigrants accessing not only jobs but welfare benefits as well. to sort of silly r.t. can't. come here live from moscow as america's genetically modified food giant monsanto is scrapping plans for new crops in the e.u. that's because the safety of its biotech foods has led to protests all across europe and well beyond however it's business as usual and it's business in the u. you continue to grow and gather strength. in on this report now to r.t. as peter all of us. here in europe we're hearing a resoundingly no when it comes to genetically modified crops so much so that the american g.m. giant monsanto has decided that they are not going to do any more business inside

the european union that currently monsanto provides g.m. seeds to farms in spain in portugal to grow corn the other thing is that corn isn't the corn that european consumers want they want things like this organically grown or conventionally farmed that's what they want to see on their plates at home now monsanto had been in the process of applying for ten more licenses inside the e.u. this was to grow things like more corn as well as sugar beets and soya beans now they've decided that since they really isn't a market for these products in countries like here in germany as well as france some of the the most vocal g.m. countries around the world as well as the amount of red tape and hoops that they would be made to jump through by officials that's prompted them to say forget about those ten licenses we're going to concentrate on our conventional seed business here in europe and forget about the g.m. stuff now they're not the first g.m.

company to decide that europe isn't the place for them the german genetically modified food group b a s f decided last year to pack up their european operations and move all of their business to the united states so it seems that when it comes to genetically modified food here in europe well it's a no from the consumers and it's a no from the politicians and the officials the consumers don't want to buy it and the politicians will make it hard for you to grow it. not over at r.t. dot com right now our online team has a whole host of stories for you this hour including a quake in new zealand clearing supermarket shelves of. shocking office workers and making waves in swimming pools as well as the video video footage in our in motion page and you tube channel as well. and another click away online even your own car is tracking new vehicles coming off assembly lines i now have

a special device installed to measure your speed and driving data that's also on the website at www dot com. for more on the program arrival rallies of supporters and opponents of the deposed president morsi have turned deadly again at least four people were killed and dozens injured in clashes in cairo as well as north of the capital thousands of islamist demonstrators attempted to storm to every square and to morsi supporters have been gathered for weeks police deployed armored vehicles and used tear gas against the crowds several morsy supporters were detained however despite the turmoil the interim government is pressing ahead with amending egypt's constitution and the muslim brotherhood refusing to recognize the panel tasked with drafting the document journalist mohamed believes that after the recent violence the military will employ even harsher measures it's a hope the protests. of the muslim brotherhood are actually have proven over the

past week specifically over this week that the oil willing and trying to get to continue to paralyze the capital cairo paralysis of the city is in fact could in fact hinder any any attempt to destabilize this situation by calling for elections or by trying to hold and assembly for the constitutional amendments probably will lead to further violence it will also be too harsh or crackdowns by the military and the. always forced on parole boards year program was invented protesters because you have evidence that. this movement is actually oil and is willing to use dollars arms against whoever opposes them. so with thousands dead and egyptians involved in seemingly permanent protests or politically the country has gone full circle and is actually back right where it started and many feel the high price for no change is too much r.t.s. paullus live reports on us socialists egypt is in sadness people are not

feeling safe anymore from the day the revolution starts and we have not seen a happy day everything is going from bad to worse it's fifty one people died in clashes on one day one of them my mom and elsa noisy son. this was the moment of his death captured on film by the twenty six year old photographer he aims his camera towards a military sniper the sniper fires and then suddenly turns the rifle and points towards the camera lens the film ends and so too does ahmed's life. let's just say he's to think about these children that die and wonder what happens to their mother now i'm one of those mothers we used to say our country is the country of peace and security but all of that has changed. some of siloed was one of those who fought for that change he quit his job in saudi arabia

to return to egypt to be part of the revolution that overthrew president mubarak these are the ideals they fought and died for but more and more it seems they failed simple demands i think egyptians want to see quick wins they want to see people who are really keen on change but if that doesn't come i think i think you know with like well like you know going to the street in i think it's becoming like a ritual you know what we need to get away from it to start building. for how long can you just go to the street is a popular joke doing the rounds in the country right now egyptians don't topple a president every day only once every two years but underlying the humor a glam reality a new pew research center poll has found that only thirty percent of egyptians think the country is headed in the right direction roughly three and four say the economy is in bad shape and fifty six percent are dissatisfied with the way democracy is working we want we deserve

a better life we didn't revolve around the twenty fifth of the job to get such a target believe the brotherhood talk. or think they can only benefit from egypt without getting scraps of the people for two years egyptians have been on the street more than two thousand people have been killed for the families left behind is a growing since the deaths were in vain seen the revolution did not produce a positive outcome for the people it's like the revolution has a new unstarted no one in egypt is happy if you walk in the street everyone is depressed everyone is talking about the problems that egypt is going through. and so to evolution slayton egypt it seems has come full circle the army's back on the street for the second time in as many years i want to see it's the only institution that continues to get positive ratings seventy three percent of egyptians believe

it has a good influence on the country but with the threat of street battles just around the corner if it doesn't play its concert even that is set to change policy on t.v. . to the big apple to open up the world update ten people were in a plane crash landing at la guardia airport in new york before would landing gear collapsed as it touched down in the plane to slide off the runway and there were one hundred forty nine people on board the flight at the time. a homemade bomb has been found at a shrine in brazil hours before the pope visited it on his first foreign trip the point of was also welcomed by antigovernment protests as angry crowds clashed with police and before he arrived hundreds threw petrol bombs at the government palace in rio de janiero place used rubber bullets to disperse the demonstrators will be out on the streets now for over a over one month. and to the philippines where at least thirty eight people have

been injured in clashes with police thousands took to the streets to vent their anger at the president's state of the nation address in which he lifted his ministrations achievements the protesters claim he has failed to make sufficient reformist after six years in power and they want more done to battle poverty unemployment and crying. at the u.s. congress has it dropped its concerns over a plan to the syrian rebels as the white house prepares to send directly to the opposition however many still fear the weapons aid could end up in the hands of extremists and a letter with an unclassified assessment of the options for the u.s. military suggests a no fly zone over syria would cost the u.s. about one billion dollars a month senators john mccain and carl levin are urging president obama to consider limited military action. all right so now e.u. foreign ministers have agreed to blacklist the armed wing of the lebanese group hezbollah as

a terrorist organization it follows allegations to the group was behind last year's attack on a bus carrying israelis in vogue area and concerns over hezbollah's support for government forces in syria dr franklin lamb who's an international lawyer and political analyst he sees the decision as a p.r. move that won't lead to genuine action they're still going to allow dialogue with his ballance political department just not the military wing well that's nothing new how many european countries has been talking to the boa military when they're very secret they don't talk to anybody the other thing is that the e.u. has pledged their it's not going to affect the government of lebanon but that raises very interesting questions for among others lawyers you've got on the hizbollah now that they dominate what the cabinet and also the legislature and the executive branch it would take a talian of lawyers to figure out the language and how you draw the line what did

the e.u. do did they declare lebanon a terrorist or are weighing because of the connection has bhalo supports the military we've seen that in the last several months does that mean that the lebanese army now is a terrorist organization and the americans and the others won't give on bar you sure raises anymore raises lots of questions i think what we're going to see is the european do nothing but i don't think it's going to have any impact on on his follow which is a fundamental resistance organization and their real lives on the support from the people and not the europeans. now would you be at all surprised to hear that goldman sachs for quite some time has been manipulating the global markets probably not i'm interested in just.
