12:02 pm
live with saeed she's a spokesperson for british egyptians for democracy she's in london for the military they've issued an ultimatum saying to the muslim brotherhood they've got to sit down and have in just a matter of days do you think the muslim brotherhood will actually listen and do that. that's an interesting question you posed when sisi came out and his speech he called for escalation not reconciliation how can we talk of negotiations when you have leaders of the muslim brotherhood and leaders of the pro-democracy movement hundreds of them being detained daily by the military when you have people from the pro-democracy movement being killed every single day by the military national color reconsideration can only happen when justice is served and that. process can only take place when the military leaves so if we want to talk about negotiations and national reconciliation we have to see end to this bloody military coup despite the
12:03 pm
arguments you make about exactly i'm supposed to be saying what do you think could be the consequences if the muslim brotherhood doesn't sit down and talk to the military what would the military do next because it seems to of issued a very strong ultimatum. well we've seen already what the military has done this is not about morsi and what's not about the muslim brotherhood this is about democracy being hijacked by the military every single day we're seeing members of the pro-democracy movement being killed being arrested being attacked the only crime is to support democracy and to call for an end to this bloody coup and so the solution you cannot ask the pro-democracy movement for a solution because it's the military who created the problem so if we want and end to this problem we want an end to this escalation in egypt then we have to see the end of the military we have to see the fact. we are hearing from the united. now
12:04 pm
and that has said concerning morse's predicament either you set him free or you organize a swift and transparent trial presumably setting free setting him free will be the better option but do you think a fair and transparent trial is perhaps likely. well morsi was arrested three weeks ago without any charge he's not the only person who was arrested hundreds of other political activists have been arrested this is clearly a politically motivated arrest. i don't think a trial will appease tensions i think when you have judges on the trial who were appointed by by mubarak corrupt judges i don't think we're going to see a folk inclusion the problem isn't morsi the problem isn't the muslim brotherhood the problem is that the protests on the street problem lies with the military and that is. that that's where the problem is what the solution that's where we
12:05 pm
have to see how do you see the military. do you think there is now some justification for western influence now some sort of intervention i'm not talking military of course but some sort of influence or pressure from the west not to intervene in some way. it's sad to see countries who held themselves as the beacon beacons of democracy supporting such type of oppression in egypt here in britain for example we are told democratic values and i think i speaking as a british gyptian the british government must have a clear starts must have a clear stance against the military must call for an end to military rule. i just want to clarify history is not made in washington it's not made in parliament it's made on the streets of egypt and we have millions of egyptians on the street today calling for an end to military rule and the will of the people will try and. thank
12:06 pm
you very much indeed for your perspective there live in london well the bell true as i say is in that caro artie's correspondent and she's now out there and she's going to bring us up to date with the rapidly developing situation tell us what is the latest what do you know there at the moment from where you are. well we have had reports of some violence now in this very tense day that seen nationwide rival protests across the country either there used to be like there is behind me here in paris to her square or in support of the military they're forced to fight with a school is terrorism against their you said it was a really difficult to be ousted leader mohamed morsi now we have had clashes here in the capital in an area called shubra which the people moment is where from where i'm standing here what happened was why evil marches accidentally cross and angry citizens and it up during hooks on each other people see a match and all the violence outside the capital in the nile delta government dummy
12:07 pm
after we saw again why full protest street fighting in addition to the post to city of alexandria where they support his opponents all found to be to mohamed morsy supporters in the main running point at the ministry of health here is reporting as several injured and of course security forces themselves are worried is going to be more violence and as we see these very tense why evil groups descend on the streets we've seen a very heavy deployment of birth the military and the police where i'm standing here in that area there are few tanks to the sari securing the square well the post people here are chanting for the military and the police say actually seeing police officers mingling with the crowds meanwhile across the capital in cities in the surf but there you see largely members of the mission brotherhood the posting of the ousted leader we have also seen army vehicles who've been to their position there for several weeks now in case all caches what everyone really expecting here
12:08 pm
is for this to descend into further violence as night pools of water but hope morsi himself than. his detention has been extended to this exactly what is he being accused of now. this is really fueling the fire here this announcement this morning. mosi is being detained over the charges of allegedly conspiring with palestinian organization hamas to spy on the country he's also being charged with being responsible for the deaths of soldiers and prison guards when he broke out to boarding a train prison during the eighteen they are pricing mohamed morsi and a number of other missing motherhood officials who were detained under the mubarak regime in these prisons tearing down eighty five of a nation they broke free on january the thirtieth and once for the prosecution is investigating at the moment is where the mom and mostly aid to collaborate with hamas and be was responsible for
12:09 pm
a lot of damage that was done during these breakouts some people here are saying it was a political decision to put him out for this particular charge because the ms motherhood is under attack the most motherhood for their parts maintaining that morsi is innocent and that he is a legitimate president first the people here very much and i spoke of the protests this is saying that he is engaging a more seasoned. all right so we're seeing a massive country i was the last invited somebody in. on the horizon. well thanks very much indeed for that true reporting from. moscow says that russia's security agency is in talks with the f.b.i. over the fate of whistleblower edward snowden but a criminal spokesman has once again reiterated that the n.s.a. contractor will not be extradited to the u.s. and this is not something washington would like to hear well scott is here to tell us about the latest diplomatic exchanges over snowden. is the
12:10 pm
u.s. prepared to go to get their hands on edward snowden. edward snowden prepares to spend to get a nother weekend in the transit zone of moscow's. diplomatic wrangles over his future continue now it was established very early on by russian president vladimir putin that russia would not extradite snowden back to the united states there is no extradition treaty between the two countries and russia. anyone back to a country. face the death penalty. and if he was tried on those charges of espionage. maybe it appears as if america. however still some other respects with. suggesting the. help edward snowden as it appears russia are prepared to do that
12:11 pm
they should come under some form of economic sanctions and the particular preferential trade deals between the two countries should be scrapped and of course the united states washington has a history of this when ecuador first image very early on around a month ago as a possible destination like the snowden one senator one lawmaker suggested that the preferential trade deal between the two countries should be scrapped so i could rule then they thought preempted any move withdrew themselves from the preferential trade deal and so they would have bowed to pressure so in some respects it appears that america's stance is quite contrary because they are playing hardball in some respects and appearing to soften their stance in other respects there are some people even calling for president barack obama to boycott the g twenty which is taking place here in russia in september and even some calls for american or america to boycott the winter olympics in sochi next year as well so despite the fact that the death penalty is not something that edward snowden a face there are still some very hard liners who are criticizing got any country
12:12 pm
that appears prepared to help try to pull what about snowden's predicament now is there any indication when he is likely to leave that transit zone a shot of him in a port in moscow what of course he's still waiting isn't he for that piece of paper from the federal migration the piece of paper that will allow him out of the transit zone and into russia proper we thought that he might get out on wednesday when his legal representative on the tele could showing a ride out the airports but he wasn't possessing that piece of paper so snowden is still there now just just to quickly give you the sense that he's always going to want to get his hands on this piece of paper that signifies that the f.m.s. has started to process his application for temporary asylum which could take up to three months now if his application is given the thumbs up then he'll give him a twelve month stay in moscow if he's given the thumbs down he could well appeal meaning it seems that he wants to try and. settle down in russia but he does have other options particularly in latin america where the livia venezuela nicaragua
12:13 pm
have all said that they would take him and of course if he can get that the president of mic like us might want to explain exactly why snowden would be welcome . i think the threats coming from the us work against them it's ridiculous a power like the united states threatening a young man who's had enough courage to tell the truth about something that went against his principles a man who realized at a certain point that he could cross the line of what is called intelligence work he understood where intelligence ends and lawlessness begins and that lawlessness has nothing to do with secret operations the war on terror with protecting state interests or with the search for scientific information a point when he sort of this is sheer madness because it isn't normal it's not like the us are forcing the europeans hand in this is just that they have something in common common positions a common strategy and the same desire for global domination they want to impose democratic principles on the world they want to judge all nations so is this
12:14 pm
a moscow based snowden saga enters a fifth weekend what do we know we know that snowden looks set to remain in the transit zone of moscow's shot a matter of course america still want to get their hands of him but russia are not prepared to hand him over or scott thanks very much indeed for that live update. germany who wants to tighten the screws on u.n. data protection regulations it comes after an avalanche of criticism and anger over what some see is the government's failure to deal with a scandal sparked by snowden's revelations expose burn ins roll a massive u.s. led surveillance but many in germany view that move as a simple attempt to win back a little point ahead of september's general election peter all of the reports now from burnet. of germany's most senior cabinet members have written to the e.u. counterparts to try and get them to push the united nations to change their current privacy legislation that all seems well and good especially when you consider that the current privacy legislation was written way back in one thousand nine hundred
12:15 pm
sixty six long before things like mobile phones facebook the internet all of those things that the n.s.a. being apparently looking into now this could be a genuine effort by the by the german ministers to try and help the privacy of the people of the european union or it could be something of a smokescreen and a bit of damage limitation you have to consider that germany was one of the major helpers for the national security agency when they were spying on people around the world in fact the b. and d. the german secret service operated one of the major parts of prism this was called the x. keyscore program that basically looked into what people were searching for online and five hundred million data connections here in germany were checked or were available to be checked by the n.s.a. now this all comes after a week in which we've seen angela merkel originally claimed that she only heard
12:16 pm
about n.s.a. spying through the media at then turned out that in fact germany was one of these major partners now the germans have an election coming up a big general election coming up here at the end of september and the german people are understandably upset by the amount of information of theirs that was being looked at whether edward snowden knew that he could be a big influence in the german elections when he decided to leak these things will never know but what's the certain is he definitely and the information he's brought forward will definitely be used in the upcoming weeks and months before that vote considering the involvement of germany and other e.u. countries in the n.s.a. spying program it begs the question whether this is a legitimate attempt to improve the previously of the citizens of the you or just politicians attempting to cover up the fact that they've been caught with their hand in the cookie jar. we spoke to dr alexander dixie's the burning commissioner
12:17 pm
for data protection and freedom of information and he thinks that german politicians are moving in the right direction by attempting to change u.n. privacy rules no matter what the actual motives are under the german law and the german constitution there is a fundamental right of informational self-determination of privacy as you call it and data protection commissioners all over the world have for a long time called for an international treaty to have privacy regulations in place to protect individual privacy and data when surfing the internet and crossing borders and now the n.s.a. scandal is just the last tip into the voter had to do this problem to make it completely clear that we urgently need an international agreement in this fear that what we're seeing here is really excessive secrecy protecting excessive surveillance and that cannot go on as it has done in the past we need effective

12:21 pm
topic was likely addressed when kerry met behind closed doors with the visiting delegation which is being led by the president of the syrian national coalition ahmed jarba what some experts are questioning at the moment is the overall legitimacy of the syrian national coalition critics say the group has no official power and lacks support end recognition inside of syria now the syrian national coalition was founded in doha and is based in is stamboul some see this group as outsiders lobbying for more arms to import into syria's already bloody civil war during the meeting secretary kerry conveyed washington's commitment to helping strengthen the syrian opposition however several u.s. lawmakers have publicly opposed providing weapons to rebels arguing that the arms can fall into the hands of terrorists and members of al qaeda who are fighting alongside anti assad groups now according to the un's latest figures more than one hundred thousand syrians have died in the nearly two and

12:28 pm
conspiracy theories that are very plausible and some that are well actually true one that i've heard for a long time is that they are specifically trying to fill the police with dimwits to abuse the american people which is silly right right according to a.b.c. news the discrimination lawsuit revealed that robert jordan was denied the chance to become a new london police officer because he was too smart his entrance exam score was a thirty three which is an i.q. of one hundred twenty five and just it was. too high to allow him to defend the public good that police department only accepts candidates who have scores from twenty to twenty seven the logic is that people who are too smart get bored as policeman and they're more likely to quit after years of costly training. yeah this is proof of a conspiracy theory well the lowest score they accept is still around an average i.q. so that doesn't mean they're specifically trying to fill the place with subpar people but it does seem really weird to fear people with high i.q.'s entering the police
12:29 pm
force this case to have a confirms nor denies the conspiracy theory but is definitely food for thought and does a kind of not make sense to discriminate against anyone ever for having a high i.q. i don't know but that's just my opinion. mission . critical should treat storage free range and free. three stooges free. download free books. for your media projects free media oh don carty dot com. sixty.
