this is why you should care. because a poised to gain access to personal data on hundreds of millions of mobile phone. calls to be. detected the threat. report claims one in five victims of u.s. drone strikes in pakistan are civilians as the pentagon. and the country's. dramatically. britain welfare reforms described. her as a top stories this hour.

this is. a day hackers have the ability to hijack one in every eight mobile phones worldwide with a single hidden text message that alerts has come from a leading german cyber security expert he claims the trick gives criminals instant control over mobile devices and can even provide them with access to personal banking data and explain. 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 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 when criminals finally acquired this method is fraught they will abuse the cards to send a message for instance they could also. from different countries we're going to

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 are no less known for his activity and 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 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

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 of cools and the law the civilian death toll in pakistan that's according to leaked documents from officials in islam about the 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 has. reports. 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 recorded songs 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 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 urges often clash with international law in washington i'm going to take them at least five hundred escaped prisoners including senior al qaida members are on the

run in iraq so if the government turns to high security jails near baghdad including abu ghraib killing twenty security personnel in the process. director of the international action center says there's been no improvement in the security situation since the u.s. led invasion. 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 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. 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 us 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 the u.k. think tank has warned that nationwide wealth inequality is set to skyrocket over the next few years unless the government rethink 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 one nine hundred eighty s. and all of the time that margaret thatcher was in power they brought out of the situation a speeded up action replay of the resume but only we spoke to the author of that 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 pretty hard a 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 about to happen pretty manageable day. so far but the point is that while you have x. rises and benefit costs of being introduced as the court records families holiday. people long sort of maybe who are hiring but next round the house is 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 and so we're seeing being hit hardest is going to mainly be

families with children especially and so the young younger on employed. 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. the locals salty's to source in the 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 so 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 permanent like a volley or maybe it has been working on this farm for nine years do you mind do we all this physical hard work oh i think i'm doing that if i was moving during that i was not 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 your 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 streaming hard working 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 our 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 jumper you 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 farm jobs for hotels and offices and are calling for more temporary workers from nonnie you countries others fear this will bring in an influx of immigrants accessing not only jobs but welfare benefits as well. i just. can't and while europe's unemployment problem continues to be. hitting record highs head to our website altie dot com for an in-depth look at europe's economic challenges still to come in the program. can egypt escape its vicious cycle of street bloodshed. that's a nation that's been polarized by politics with supporters of rival groups facing off on streets. across the country stories after the break.

but. react to situate him to reports. no i will leave that to the state department to comment on your latter point to say . mr kerry cars are not talking. no more we are. when you question be prepared for a change when you have to. be ready for a. pretty speech. on the freedoms of caution. more news today is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations are on the day.

it's fifteen minutes past the hour now. in egypt relentless battles between supporters and opponents of the else to president mohamed morsi raising the specter of civil war gun attacks have been reported in and around the situation has remained chaotic and casualty figures hard to verify protesters of several major roads and dozens of vehicles have been smashed and monday the army intervene to prevent them as demonstrators from storming his town his square which has been occupied by morsy crowds for weeks gentleness mohammed subquery thinks that the military is gearing up for tougher measures to curb the rest. of the muslim brotherhood are actually have proven over the past week specifically over this week

that the oil willing and planning to get to continue to paralyze the capital cairo the paralysis of the city is in fact it could in fact hinder any any attempts to stabilize the 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. protesters because you have evidence that. this movement is actually all armed and is willing to use goes on ones against whoever opposes them. so with egypt locked in seemingly never ending protests politically the country's gone full circle and is back where it started that's left many feeling they paid too high a price in their struggle for changes. reports. it was

egypt is in sadness he brought in 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 also noisy sun. 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. must cease to think about these children that die and wonder what happens to their mother now i am one of those mothers pleased to say our country is the country of peace and security but all of that has changed. salicylate 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 come home on conjectures 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 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 evolve on the twenty fifth of jan to get such a target believe the brotherhood talk and. 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. 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 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 even that is to change. our t.v. . website to the moment we've got plenty more stories including our tease investigation into the health costs for iraqis after the u.s. led coalition's use of depleted uranium in military operations of course for the winter formal war sentiment the communities torn apart by epidemic of birth defects and cancer in check that out. also lying rivers of booze a quake in new zealand clears supermarket shelves of all the hole faster than the drinking competition and in one thousand birthday party you can check out the video footage you know in motion page and you tube channel. it's now one month since the n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden landed here in moscow on what turned out to be

a very long layover he's filed a request for temporary saddam in russia but there's been no official response on that just yet snowden's lawyer says he's ready to remain here even find a job let's get more on this now from ortiz lindsey france lindsey so what is the latest in the snowden saga. well bill the federal migration service is slated to hand over a piece of paper tomorrow to edward snowden stating whether or not it is willing to review his case it that means that that means that the government is then going to consider his bid now that process can take up to three months and . in that time he will be allowed to walk around the city moving freely and within russia then the temporary asylum if it is accepted it can last will last one year and then must be renewed every year after that now his lawyer has made

a statement about mr started wanting to make russia his home what he's got to say. if the russian federal migration service denies mr snowden's request we still have the option of appealing against his decision in court i explained all the legal aspects to edward and he intends to use this right of appeal should there be a refusal mr snowden's planning to settle down here find a job and just adapt to the circumstances. now not only as the lawyer said does he plan to settle but he also plans to work. home even in the very long future at something that many people may think comes as quite a surprise we will probably be knowing a much more tomorrow morning when he hopefully receives that piece of paperwork that the federal migration service says it plans to hand over to him now his lawyer also says that for his clients at this point security is number one we'll bring you much more on this tomorrow thanks very much indeed for that update on the snowden

as. israel's prime minister is pushing for legislation that would require any peace deal with the palestinians be put to a nationwide referendum and when netanyahu made the announcement after the u.s. secretary of state and the progress in relaunching the peace talks which is stalled for the post funny senior correspondent of the how it's newspaper in israel told me earlier that netanyahu is trying to reconcile the contradictory pressures he faces home and abroad. a political ploy. who is working. to pressures. president obama and secretary kerry when the palestinians said yes we are coming to the talks but mr netanyahu tries to get some insurance policy from his own constituents trying to reassure them but before he makes any real concessions he will come back to the country and

ask for what 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 do you think actually we will see talks resuming or is this deadlock going to continue that's the irony or fear because a peace deal is to everybody's liking it's deprived of the peace which some people don't like the. territory and netanyahu wants peace prize to be paid at the end not the tickets for the talks them selves 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 the referendum itself this is going to be held sometime in the far future but this is going to give it some breathing space some time in order to conduct talks which in his heart of hearts he may wish to fail. twenty five minutes past the hour now that brings up to date i'll be back with the news team in just over half an hour with more news for you the meantime let's talk money about this prime interest is next from washington after the break. 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 only 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 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.

good afternoon and welcome to prime interest i'm harry i'm boring and i'm bob english and here's the story that we're tracking today. markets are being manipulated you already knew that but when it makes the top fold of the old gray lady amazon really be egregious an investigation by the new york times reveals that goldman sachs has been manipulating the aluminum market per year coca-cola and other end users you there is have complained that waiting times for shipments have

gone from weeks to months in the meantime are goldman trying to charge the needless storage fees in the same city and again saying this in the copper in crude oil thanks to jamie dimon so you can forget and we'll be covering this story in depth with this week today we expose another mysterious event with a former federal reserve economist he was fired from the fed for exposing billions in suspicious cash transfers just prior to nine eleven and courier who will dig into the fine print of gold to educate our beloved chairman about that which he admitted before congress he knows nothing never mind his new york fed holds tons of gold bars on behalf of other countries at least germany things and this saga in detroit continues they are being basically pleaded for a federal bailout citing the beneficial moral hazard this would engender for other struggling that he just and we quote not yet left me behind we're no marie antoinette's but when it comes to hair kind of thirty years seems that we choose

the former later in the show and bob wills detroit native and breaking news that producer mary david on this very it failed finally according to the government's latest calculation on greed buying and holding its own dead foreign holders of slow down purchases to the. lowest rate since two thousand and six they now own listen fifty percent of treasuries so as long as the fed keeps buying no problem except all this talk of tapering means the fed wants to exit the market oh and speaking of those eighty five billion dollars per month purchases by the fed guess where that printed money is going can't mostly to foreign banks you don't want to miss just being under hills exposé of this later in the show. and here is one thing your prime interest.
