being. a victim of u.s. drone strikes. over the.

very. this is. a pleasure to have you with us today the seventh. maybe leaving it wide open because. trying to access your data up to seven hundred fifty million. built bug which allows any third party to steal the encryption. 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 hackers 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 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 whoever 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 cell phone 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 when criminals finally. take method is fraught they will abuse the cards to send a message for instance they could also. from different countries we're going to use

looking at the midterm surveillance questions because to do encrypt hold the voice communications originating from a phone as well as data communication so all of this could be intercepted and decoded by a well equipped surveillance team now i know that's known for his activity in exploiting vulnerabilities of secure systems and then providing companies with his reminding so they can. these issues before criminal hackers 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 studies now conducted in support you know 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 catch up and now

fixing this problem 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. and another concern is u.s. security services don't even need access to your phone calls to watch you and they don't even need to turn it on as more about the n.s.a. is very sophisticated spying methods are right now at altitude or call. it a why all the operations of the national security agency now equivalent to nuclear secrets the website altie thought com right now exploring how the organization is protecting itself to prevent the next edward snowden from exposing it. right from the sea. first rate. and i think that you're.

on our reporters were very. instrumental. in the. thanks for joining us here on r.t. today a u.s. drone strikes in pakistan have resulted in a high number of civilian deaths so this according to leaked documents from pakistani officials they report details attacks over a three year period and ultimately contradict washington's claims that they are precise in targeting militants let's have a look now at how many civilians died during the documented period from two thousand and six to two thousand and nine and here we go 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 were civilians many of them there were children they make up about twelve percent of the total number of casualties and the cia

director john brennan has insisted that drone strikes are only authorized if civilian casualties can be avoided because artie's 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 a kurd to 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 the increase in surveillance reconnaissance 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 were 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 just often clash with international law in washington i'm going to shoot them now five hundred inmates including senior al-qaeda members are on the run in iraq this offset to high security prisons near baghdad were attacked by gunmen and they killed at least twenty security personnel in a battle that lasted around ten hours before setting the prisoners free sara follows the co-director of the international action center she told us earlier that the prison break ultimately highlights the troubling security situation plaguing 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 the 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. so we had a few here on r t that of being syrian army aides the e.u. decides hezbollah wing is a terror group bring you expert opinion on the possible consequences of the sanctions to follow. and to egypt it's a case of deja vu rival rallies or pro and anti morsi supporters turned deadly we have to look at a country to another revolt. for the meantime 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 fabian 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 known for high unemployment political blogger george eaton he believes there are other options to britain's current policy. 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 can't the top rate of tax from fifty p. to forty five p. any economist will tell you one of the. worst policies 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 and they stimulate growth as a result but you know unfortunately with the coalition we so far we've had a combination of unfairness. why do quality and. little growth. rising rich and poor gap is also fueled by immigration

with foreign workers willing to take jobs for much lower wages and that's now led to calls for tightening new you immigration. it's 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 a 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 permanent like a volley or maybe he's been working on this farm for nine years do you mind doing all this physical hard work oh 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 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 people who don't want to work i'm not quite sure how big that he's but then you've got another problem which is 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 in wives and wives of cheap labor who just get on because them by the end of the year the e.u. is temporary work and travel restrictions of bulgaria as 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 for jobs. and are calling for more temporary workers.

others fear this will bring in an influx of immigrants not only jobs but benefits as well. well over at off the dot com right now our online team has a whole host of stories for you this hour have a look at his feet this video for you quite a new zealand clearing supermarket shelves of booze and shocking office workers and well i'm not exactly time for a dip waves are being made in this pool right brilliant video it all to you dot com right now and you can check out our motion page and of course our channel and another click away for you right now it's not just the n.s.a. but even your car is tracking on your vehicles coming off assembly lines now have a special device installed to measure your speed and driving data that's on the website no.

i've seen the perception of the cross many times it doesn't matter if there's snow a heat wave or hail storms people keep on going 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 wanted to the moment. hanson so mind she see i'm carrying these sayings on my shoulder. do you want me to put a bandage here you know that's fine but a lot of people were so exhausted they could barely walk their feet hurt and some of them fainted google great evacuee three two wanted to keep going i don't know what tomorrow will bring.

good to have you with us here on r t today i'm in moscow rival rallies of supporters and opponents of the deposed president morsi have turned deadly again at least four were killed dozens injured in clashes in cairo and just north of the capital thousands of islamist demonstrators attempted to storm to or square where the morsy 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 the most and brotherhood refusing to recognize the panel tasked with

drafting the document journalist mohammed believes that after the recent violence the military will employ even harsher measures to stop the protests. there was a 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 the paralysis of the city is in fact it 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 which probably will lead to further violence it will also lead to harsher crackdowns by the military and the police force on parole board was in protest because you have evidence that. this movement is actually all armed and is willing to use those orms against whoever opposes them. so with thousands dead and gyptian is involved in seemingly

permanent protest political politically the country has just gone full circle it's right back to where it started and many feel the high price for no change is far too much as artie's paullus live reports last socialist 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. fifty one people died in clashes on one day one of them are else a 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 and i think it's becoming like a ritual you know we need to get away from it to start building i know 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 glum 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 in 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 any 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 and of in the revolution did not produce a positive outcome for the people it's like the revolution has a new and started 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 two revolutions later 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 be it's the only institution that continues to get this. gratings 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 it to change policy r.t. . or before we get to the anti world update for now america's genetically modified food giant monsanto is now scrapping plans for new crops in the e.u. that's because the safety of its biotech foods has now led to protests across europe and well well beyond however monsanto said it will continue to press brussels to allow it to import g.m. harvests grown outside the e.u. it is and he's proud of all of our reports europe remains the resistant. 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 petain 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 and g.m. countries around the world as well as the amount of red tape and hoops that they would be made to jump through five fish oils 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. to the philippines we go to open up the odyssey willed update it's where at least thirty eight people have been injured it should go forward to use thousands to the streets to vent their anger at the president's state of the nation address in which he listed his administration's chief protest as he has failed to make sufficient reforms after six years in power and. unemployment and. a homemade

bomb shrine in brazil just hours before the pope visited it on his first foreign trip the pontiff was also welcomed by antigovernment protests as angry crowds fourth with the police an hour before he arrived hundreds through petrol bombs at the government palestina rio de janeiro police used rubber bullets to disperse the demonstrators who have been out on the streets now for well over a month. and ten people when a passenger plane crashed on landing in la guardia airport in new york the forward landing gear collapsed as it touched down causing the plane to slide off the runway there were one hundred forty nine people on board at the time of the. now hezbollah's role in serious conflict has led the european union to blacklist its armed wing as a terrorist organization britain also accuse the group of being behind last year's attack on a bus carrying israelis in bug area but dr franklin who's an international lawyer

and political analyst he sees the decision as a p.r. move that won't lead to any genuine action. they're still going to allow dialogue with his ballance political department just not a military way well that's nothing new how many european countries has been talking to the ball a military wing very secretive don't talk to anybody the other thing is that the e.u. has pledged their sarcoma a fact free because of out of lebanon but that raises a very interesting questions for among others lawyers you've got the hizbollah now with a 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 are weighing because of the connection has bhalo supports the military

we've seen that you know. that mean that the lebanese army now is a terrorist organization and the americans and the others won't get on bar of machine races anymore it raises lots of questions i think what we're going to see is a european do nothing i don't think it's going to have any impact on his follower which is a fundamental resistance organization and relies on the support from the people and not the europeans. i just a moment we'll be a following thousands of orthodox christians on a pilgrim trail stretching back centuries a sacred road just about. i've talked with you and many times about the absurd things going on all around us like

kids being thrown out of school because they had a gun that shoots bubbles or various people getting punished for their tweets and facebook posts it's all really abstract it's hard to truly get angry over until you see the results or played a stupid video game just carter sarcastically said to someone who called him crazy oh yeah i'm real messed up in the head i'm going to go shoot a bunch of kids at school l.o.l. j k. and for this bit of sarcasm he spent quite some time awaiting trial in a texas prison not only that according to his father he was being attacked brutally on many occasions leading to both to pull concussions and black eyes and in the end he had to be thrown into solitary confinement for his own good you see this is the ugly reality of those who fought the bad side of political correctness you know i don't talk about these stories just for fun the main thing that i'd like to say is that it wasn't for some anonymous coward in canada turning him into the authorities for doing absolutely nothing this young man would not have to live with the memory and possible injuries from numerous assaults to the anonymous canadian who turned

him in i sarcastically wish you a horrible fate but you probably get me arrested for it so just say that it's people like you who allow tyranny to exist but that's just my opinion. i just stood up and went. i didn't expect anything i just want i told myself that i would keep going as long as my heart told me to follow the people and that was always wanted at that moment which. is but i felt something i want to tell my future.
