hackers are poised to gain full access to personal data on hundreds of millions of mobile phones worldwide. to the cyber experts who detected the threat. a leaked report claims one in five victims of u.s. drone strikes in pakistan are civilians as the pentagon looks to expand operations in the country's tribal. dramatically widening wealth gap in britain due to welfare reforms described as speeded up the top stories this hour.

live from a studio center in moscow this is with you twenty four hours a day hackers have the ability to hijack one in every eight mobile phones worldwide with a single hidden text message now that alert has come from a leading german cyber security expert and he claims the trick gives criminals instant control over mobile devices and can even provide them with access to personal banking data and it explains how. 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 are now in german codebreaker carsten no 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 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 accessible and could easily be used often without the cellphone user realizing that this is being done before it's potentially too late archies 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 acquired this

method is fraught they 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 we used to do in croup 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 are no less known for his activity in exploiting vulnerabilities of secure systems and then providing companies with his findings so they. and fix 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 that is now conducted and supported to 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 fixing this problem at the u.n. 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. u.s. drone strikes have caused an alarming civilian death toll in pakistan that's according to leaked documents from officials in islamabad the so-called precision strikes resulted in a total of seven hundred forty six deaths between two thousand and six and two thousand and nine and one fifth of those victims were civilians children made up a shocking twelve percent of casualties however washington is showing no signs of scaling back its drone warfare program and. now reports. 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 occurred 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 increase in surveillance reconnaissance and intelligence 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 beware 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 urges often clash with international law in washington i'm going to check out the u.k. think tank has warned that nationwide wealth inequality in said to skyrocket over the next few years unless the government rethinks its policy of slashing welfare the fabian society predicts that david cameron's economic strategy will cause the wealth gap to widen even more than it did during the 1980's and in the whole of the time that margaret thatcher was in power they brought of the situation a speeded up action replay of fact tourism well earlier i spoke to the author of the report economist howard reed who said the country's economic recovery is being pursued at the expense of the least well off in society. obviously the u.k. has a pretty hard deficit in the property finances and we've been told that the austerity measures that the coalition government has introduced are kind of

necessary to get the public finances back on track but i haven't really managed to date much so far but the point is that while. axe rises and benefit cuts being introduced as the hope of course families holiday. week long sort of maybe you are hiring but next round of talks it's going to bring mining the sort of social security benefits and tax credits which we grow our incomes we save including we grow our incomes. you know so people who we should be trying to encourage things we're seeing being hit hardest is going to mainly three families with children is specially and so the young younger unemployed. and while britain's unemployed face the loss of those benefits they're also coming up against growing competition on the job market from foreign workers and according to a new study eastern european migrants actually stand

a better chance of being given jobs in the u.k. than locals as artie's now reports 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 is not considered to be. a profession and 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 romania who's 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 was not here but i was fitting in office somewhere in back in my country the report comes on the one hand amid the government's goal of decreasing 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 the 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 stringy hard working and you know industrious we've also got an element it's true i think we've got an element of people 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 our 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 get on the cut them by the end of the year the e.u. is temporary work and travel restrictions a bulgarian is a rumanians will be lifted giving them the same rights to work in the u.k. as other e.u. citizens farm owners speared. this would lead to bulgarians and romanians leaving farm jobs for hotels and offices and are calling for more temporary workers. others fear this will bring in an influx of immigrants accessing not only jobs

benefits as well. and while europe's unemployment problem continues to deepen the fiscal deficit hitting record highs at . all if you don't come for an in-depth look at europe's economic challenges and still to come on the program this. nation torn apart by politics as supporters of rival groups face off in cities across egypt we also if the country can escape its vicious cycle of street bloodshed that is up next just a minute. wealthy british style sign. on. the.

market. to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report. i would rather ask questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. news continues here on in egypt relentless battles between supporters and opponents of

the else to president mohamed morsi are raising the specter of civil. gun attacks have been reported in and around the current situation has remained chaotic making casualty figures hard to verify protesters of several major roads and dozens of vehicles have been smashed and torched. intervene to prevent thousands of islamist demonstrators. square which has been. for weeks. when the. deposed president morsi did they not expect to get this sort of reaction from the millions of his supporters who of course got him elected in the first place. well i think. the world millions and. millions.

is. much less than what we have seen. people. i think. many people. in the age of. me. so i think. what what's happening. but also is not compromise is really essential spoken to represented both sides do they recognize the fact that there needs to be some sort of compromise. yeah i

think the do realize that but if you look at the reality the brotherhood are not actually making these easy actually what they are doing is while they are already in a hole the the refuse to stop digging every day we have the violent clashes in cairo most of it are not actually between the brotherhood and police or the army actually most will be between the brotherhood and the people in the street. the people industry actually are getting frustrated and angry of what the brotherhood are going so that's why i think we are going but only in the wrong direction no. i would dare to say that what we are seeing now is the end of not only of the brotherhood but the end of political islam in egypt and eventually

in the whole region and yet we're still seeing a very strong representation in the struggle by the muslim brotherhood supporters and of course the use of violence you say you saw thousands and thousands but clearly he still does have a lot of support in the country could the situation get worse this talk of civil war is that no not realistic. i don't think it will get to the point as one of the. recently actually the majority of the egyptian people are not. sympathetic with the. brotherhood what we are talking about here is the political again. people or the majority of the egyptian people violence. mining but but just briefly. the political aspirations of the brotherhood should be considered in this

democratic scene supposedly a democratic transition process will we therefore see fair elections a situation in the country under at the moment a backdrop for fair elections in the near future could that happen when we do have elections coming in six months time. if you want to their voice we heard you should have waited for the election. make their claim rightfully there but what we are doing is we are committing violence make them lose the popular support that actually enable them to survive the last eighty years while. the people of egypt who are sympathetic to them now the. people and. the. situation in which he has no political future in egypt thank you very much indeed

your thoughts on this khaled the editor of a. london based newspaper thank you very much indeed for joining us here and well with egypt locked in seemingly never ending protests politically the country has gone full circle and is back where it started that's left many feeling that they've paid far too high a price in their struggle for changes. reports. it was egypt is in sadness he brought not feeling safe anymore from the day the revolution started 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 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 sniper fires and then suddenly turns the wife and points towards the camera lens the film ends and so too does ahmed's life.

let's just say he used 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. son of salad 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 we'd like well like you know going to the street and i think we're it's becoming like a ritual you know what we need to get away from it to start building i 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 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 get a hold on the twenty fifth of the job to get such a target believe the brotherhood talk and 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 scene is the deaths were in vain seen and of in this 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 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 right even that is city change policy r.t. cairo. israel's prime minister is pushing for legislation that would require any peace deal with the palestinians put to a nationwide referendum and you know he made the announcement after the u.s. secretary of state announced progress in relaunching the peace talks which are stalled for the past five years let's talk more on this with amir he's senior correspondent and economist to the for the israeli how it's newspaper so this idea

of a referendum what's behind the decision and netanyahu to put this forward. the referendum or plebiscite is not part of the israeli political system even though we . reason a law requiring the role from land to be approved by a referendum but it has never been put to the test this is a political ploy by mr netanyahu who is working under the pressures he couldn't say no to president obama and to secretary kerry when the palestinians said yes we are coming to the talks. mr netanyahu tries to get some insurance policy from his own constituents trying to reassure them that before

he makes any real concessions he will come back to the country and ask for so what will lit results of a referendum be that i mean what's he hoping for. actually he doesn't need any new were legislation it's somewhat puzzling because for the last two years there has been a law which has never been tested requiring the knesset first to approve any pact requiring israel to redraw from its sovereign territory or territory and next and then from the knesset it has to go to the people the rationale behind it even though no one will say to outloud is that in the one hundred twenty member knesset a sixty one to fifty nine majority would not do because some ten members of the one

hundred twenty are arabs who are sure to support any withdrawal and therefore you would need within be jewish electorate as seventy to fifty balance and in addition to that the extreme right political forces in israel would like the electorate itself. to pass on this measure of course. this is due to many other people anathema because the parties have been elected to the knesset the leaders were elected to lead not to come back to deal after it and ask for approval once they have to reach. beater and difficult decisions but what about a peace deal which is on the table now pushed by the americans if there is a referendum or not amongst the people if they say yes we want to peace deal do you think actually we will see talks resuming or is this deadlock going to continue.

well that's the irony of fate because a peace deal is to everybody's liking it's deprived of the peace which some people don't like. territory and netanyahu wants to be paid at the end not the tickets for the talks themselves but only once they reach a formula in which israel must pay the surprise this is not going to derail the talks most of the parties in the coalition are going just to vote for this idea of a referendum not a referendum and so this is going to be held sometime in the far future but this is going to give some breathing space some time in order to conduct talks which in his heart of hearts he may wish to fail and the old and senior correspondent columnist

for the israeli how it's newspaper thank you very much for joining us here in alt. well up next max and stacey expose the dog secrets of the rich and powerful that's in the car as a reporter and i'll be back with a news team with more news for you here i. just have often after. 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 playing 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 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.

welcome to the kaiser report max kaiser hey last week an anti counterfeiting raids across the world interpol arrested six thousand people of season hundred thirty three million was a fake that not one of those arrested away ever was a central banker who had conjured up fictional national wealth by fiddling with q.e. buttons on a quantitative keyboard nor were any of those arrested trading high frequency algo bots generating fake liquidity with a very real front running.
