this is already coming to life from the russian capital i'm marina josh and welcome to the program while it's been a deadly night in cairo but there are conflicting reports on the number of victims the muslim brotherhood claims that more than one hundred people were killed in clashes while the health ministry confirms only twenty nine deaths most of the casualties are apparently supporters of the ousted president morsy with some reports suggesting they were deliberately targeted by gunmen local media ole so claims that sounds were injured during what is believed to be the largest protest egypt has seen in two and a half years well true is in cairo for us. it was a very bloody night here in egypt as clashes erupted in the many parts of the country and continue into saturday morning off to the summation winds going through protests both in support and against the l.c.d. to mohamed morsi what eyewitnesses is saying although we haven't completely reports it protests it has to attempted to extend the city and past the area that they had
7:02 am
been staying in for the last few weeks toward security breach at this point security forces then attempted to push them back with tear gas bute hospital doctors are reporting people have died and there are a number of injured as well and what we're seeing now is apparently eyewitnesses saying that some people have been coming in with gunshot wounds although we can't confirm whether come by a voice nice as well as people having problems with tank ass inhalation and it was very chaotic with the injured coming in every five minutes and ambulances people were on the back of motorcycles bringing the wounded into the city and now this is also happened in other parts of the country there were violent clashes in the coastal city of alexandria between rival protest groups when supporters and opponents of the ousted leader met in the main running point also needing people dead and this is been very very bloody civilian on civilian marsh's we have of course seen massive amounts of tanks here and the military joining the police in
7:03 am
attacking people saying or attacking these citizens of course this comes after the announcement on friday that mohamed morsi would be kept in detention following investigations into charges that he'd been conspiring against the country with the palestinian organization hamas in addition to possibly being responsible for the deaths of the prison guards and offices when he broke out of prison during the eighteen the uprising in two thousand and eleven so this is a very serious serious allegation against the former president it could see him serve jail time this of has of course if you. the fiat by his opponents is of course it isn't his group that miss the brotherhood who is saying this is a very much a politically driven charge and that this is part of why the crackdown against the green by the minute tree no side is backing down many people are dying the buying and is continuing leading many to feed that this will only get worse well i earlier we talked to dr mohamad abdalla sees the director of the salaam islamic center in
7:04 am
california who is familiar with the situation on the ground in egypt and he told us there are strong indications that the army is crackdown on the muslim brotherhood might lead to the radicalization of its young members. the military is now doing what it does best going after the supporters of the legitimate president i'm getting reports of very close friends childhood friends or physicians volunteering in the field hospital telling me that they are counting over one hundred victims and their shift alone over the past eight hours most of them were actually shot in the head and this is basically home innocent of the of the nasir era and the crackdown on the muslim brotherhood that took place in the one nine hundred fifty s. what we be sickly see a repetition of that same scenario where the military of egypt cracking down on the on an islamist group we may or may not agree with their policy these but they have renounced violence
7:05 am
a long time ago the point of the prison the torture of their members the the shooting and a group of those members will eventually break off of the muslim brotherhood and adopt a more violent perspectives and this is exactly what happened in the sixty's seventy's and eighty's and those developments basically to the creation of the international phenomenon of terrorism that we still suffer the ramifications of until the present day what with the extreme the concerns me right now is those young members of the brotherhood seeing the same exact thing feeling that democracy can never bring them to power that their voices will never be heard that they will eventually resort to violence and then when we have waves and waves of violence of this is not going to be good for anybody well it looks like this by the bloodbath near the stronghold of the muslim brotherhood supporters are not planning to leave the streets here are some pictures coming from nasr city in cairo where thousands of promoters the
7:06 am
protesters have already gathered with their numbers continue to grow well of course keep you updated on situation in egypt here on the air and alliant on our web site r t dot com of also been keeping track of the turmoil since president morsy was deposed and there you'll find a timeline as well as the latest pictures videos opinion and analysis. it's going to be. and i'll just syria now the syrian national coalition met with the u.n. security council and agreed to participate in a geneva peace conference but as the reports a number of preconditions still have to be met before any meeting can take place
7:07 am
delegation representing the syrian opposition that is visiting new york promised to attend the geneva two meeting it seems as though the delegation has a lot of. before it will actually arrive that this should be able to meeting it seems as though they want to make sure that syrian president bashar al assad has no authority following the geneva two meeting and another precondition possibly that we could that was spoken about by the by the french envoy was the fact that once the transitional government is established that that transitional government would have full authority over the security of the military in syria as russian ambassador to the u.n. really underscored here is that all this talk of prevent the geneva two meeting from actually moving forward and taking place i understand they're having various
7:08 am
contacts with the national committee with the supreme council of the kurds of syria but there is a common understanding has not yet been achieved among them to be jointly represented to present to. the syrian opposition would like to. see the weapons in arms in military aid that the obama administration recently promised to provide to the rebels fighting against syrian president bashar al assad many ask why would washington be shipping more weapons. that will work because now we should point out here there's france's envoy to the u.n. i just spoke to the media and said that the vast majority of you would member states already recognize mr girard right as you can still representative of the syrian people legally i don't know how that can happen within the u.n. there can't be official recognition of someone that is not a head of state or without it being processed within the united nations also with some experts are questioning is the overall legitimacy of the syrian national
7:09 am
coalition critics say the group has no work. and recognition inside of syria. and activists with the answer anti-war coalitions as the syrian rebels are willing to negotiate only when they have the upper hand. the united states and the united kingdom france other western nations have really made clear that they will only accept the fall of the side and despite the fact that they continually try to say that they're for peace negotiations it seems at every turn whether it's sending arms to the rebels whether it's sending them quote unquote non-lethal aid money in general supporting the gulf countries that are also supporting them that really all of the talk about peace is disingenuous and unlike russia and other countries they seem very. determined to push forward the syrian rebels as the new leadership of the country regardless of the situation on the ground when the russian the united states where originally trying to promote the geneva two conference we saw that the syrian rebels essentially said that they had no intention of negotiating until the
7:10 am
situation on the ground changed that is until they gained the military upper hand so from their perspective they seem only willing to negotiate if the military situation allows them to have the upper hand in negotiations but if they seem to be losing the war if it seems that support for them inside of the country is dropping all of a sudden they have no desire to negotiate and they only want to continue to push war which is the subtext of this entire meeting where on the sidelines they have been pushing for more and more military aid from the united states and for it to come significantly quicker. crysler bettina who is an alice for a public opinion and political strategy web page believes that u.s. involvement in syria could potentially create another iraq. there are so many factions that have so much influence with this coalition and even the assad government has brought in others outsiders if you will to sort of prop up their government that there doesn't seem to be any particular group that can claim to be
7:11 am
in charge or one side or the other the whole situation is become balkanize the last thing people in america want is to get into another situation alaw iraq which is very confusing we never really picked the side. to be on that seemed to be the right side and ten years after our invasion. there doesn't seem to be any kind of coalition around a governing body that all iraqis can agree on as far as most americans are concerned this is just another big mess. and still had to hear an r t washington says it's moving towards closing guantanamo bay prison by sending two inmates back till jury. but as we hear later in the program their future in the country may not work out for the better plus. we reported on how some people in venezuela are turning to so-called self-defense groups to quell the danger of staggering street crimes as a police proved to be powerless. interview

7:14 am
systems where very important information was being stored over the course for several years those men broke into the databases allegedly took at sensitive information and in the end u.s. prosecutors now say that those five men were able to compromise roughly one hundred sixty million credit cards causing upwards of three hundred million dollars in damage they were able to elude authorities for around seven or eight years now but actually masterminding this operation itself took a lot of very careful planning now of the five men that are believed involved in this each one kind of had a separate little niche that they would specialize in for instance were experts when it came to penetrate a computer networks others were would go into these networks after they were compromised in mind for even more would build up very very sophisticated internet networks to be able to communicate anonymously so by having different specialists in different sectors they were all able to to put the pieces together and cause millions of dollars hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage and affect you

know people around the globe two of them were arrested one of them has since been extradited from the netherlands the other one is awaiting extradition and three of them are at large so once they are brought to the u.s. and tried to see could be looking at likely decades in prison. that was unsealed thursday this week it all stems from a previous investigation that began a few years ago and did with the conviction of an american computer hacker who is currently serving several decades behind prison for a similar crime. and while washington is trying to secure cyberspace from illegal access its appetite for private data seems to be gaining momentum with the securities and exchange commission lining up to monitor people's private e-mails with more and more details and that is available on our website. and you may think these people would be ready to file a complaint for being pepper sprayed but that's not exactly how it plays out it's

desperation the hunger strike has embarrassed the united states all over the world so they're trying to break the hunger strike by pushing out a couple of the people but these are people that are being detained without any legal justification one of the things i find so curious is that trying to get out curia to jake to the people algeria is not well noted for the due process of its courts countries with established legal proceedings do not want to touch this just saying states and is saying to obama you made this mess you're stuck with it i am an expert on the jury in prison system but i had to go to jail i think i'd much rather go to sweden or denmark the conditions in general in algeria are very very harsh i mean i think they're looking to send people to a of her his fate i don't see this as any kind of due process of any kind of outcome i just think they're trying to get out of something they created president

7:26 am
creatures living among us but there also may 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 well according to a.b.c. news a 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 it was just 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 policemen 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
7:27 am
but it does seem really weird to fear people with high i.q.'s entering the police force this case that the confirms nor denies the conspiracy theory but is definitely food for thought and the 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. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous and. i mean. that i'm still really messed up. in your theory so closely the. worst. what about six of the. radio guys minutes from a click. away quite clear about it because you've never seen anything like this i'm

cold. guys i mean martin this is breaking the set now been thirty three days with the blower edward snowden in complete legal limbo as he awaits his fate in the transit zone of the moscow airport and see despite being granted asylum by venezuela bolivia and nicaragua snowden cannot leave the u.s. government's cancellation of his passport so looking for any kind of refuge in the meantime snowden has applied for temporary asylum in russia which would allow him to remain in the country for one year is sound request prompted the white house officials to ask russia to extradite snowden the government officials have refused to return the whistleblower but this government wants snowden back so bad that they're willing to make a huge concession see i just found out a few hours ago on a breaking a.p. news alert that attorney general eric holder will not seek the death penalty for
7:29 am
snowden wow i guess that means we can all just sit back and relax now after all it was the death penalty that we're also concerned about right has nothing to do with the fact that snowden would be indefinitely detained charged with the espionage act and most likely spend his entire life in jail is see no assurances amount assurance that the u.s. government won't just try this whistleblower two tiered sham we call the justice system so spare me from this overhyped compromise some have breaking news alert when there is some real news to break. it's no secret that we humans make tons of trash seven hundred thousand tons every year to be exact and while majority of that garbage ends up in landfills as an alarming amount that ends up in the ocean thanks to spiral currents and the fix there's an island of trash.
