allowed to tonight a new u.s. government leak emerges revealing a top secret n.s.a. program that gives intelligence analysts full access to almost everything millions of users do online something that officials have strongly denied. us will see bradley manning's conviction on charges ranging from espionage to computer fraud invoke a wave of international criticism with lawmakers in europe urging the obama administration to release the army private. u.s. secretary of state arrives in islamabad hoping to ease tensions with the new government there over america's controversial drone strikes on pakistani soil.

from moscow this is r.t. it's kevin i'm with you this very good to have you company the big news tonight there's been mentioning a yet new surveillance leak courtesy of edward snowden has uncovered a vast u.s. monitoring program that allows countless analysts access to quote nearly everything people do online and he's going to teach you can report. it's called x. keyscore according to these documents it allows analysts to search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing e-mails online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals remember snowden's video interview where he said sitting at my desk could wiretap anyone from you your account and to a federal judge or even the president if i had a personal e-mail while x. keyscore is apparently how it is done snowden has leaked to the n.s.a. so training materials where the agency boasts that the program is the widest reaching system for developing intelligence from the internet to the material also

shows that the program operates from more than seven hundred servers and one hundred and fifty sites around the world so if prison was not enough now we learned about the existence of of this seemingly even more far reaching program these latest revelations contradict the n.s.a.'s claims that no analysts can look at the data without a warrant the n.s.a. says allegations of widespread unchecked families the access to innocent collection of data or simply not true these revelations come senior intelligence officials testified to the senate judiciary committee on wednesday releasing classified documents in response to snowden's earlier revelations on bulk collection of phone records and finds a surveillance court oversight. and the n.s.a. of course defends the programs saying that these programs are authorized to collect in bulk certain dialing routing addressing and signaling information about telephone calls and electronic communications such as telephone numbers or e-mail

addresses but the fact that the government has to respond to the to these concerns is already a win for edward snowden. well the man behind that latest league form and it's a contract to edward snowden is still stuck of course of the moscow airport where he's waiting for his request for political asylum in russia to be processed his father says the f.b.i. is trying to persuade him to fly to moscow to make his son go back to the united states but talking to russian television early along snowden said that if he was at his son the shoes he would not return back home and i hope you're watching your family as well and we love you i hope to see you soon i would also like to thank president vladimir putin and the russian government for the what i believe the courage and the strength and conviction to keep my son safe we have tried to relapse rate work with the justice department to lay the groundwork to ensure that

my son would receive a fair trial here although i know that assurances have been provided that he would not be executed or tortured if he were brought back the fact is no assurances have been provided that he would be given the fair trial that he deserves or any citizen of this nation. should be afforded given our constitution. we want another american whistleblower army private bradley manning has been found not guilty as we know of the most grievous crimes under american law aiding the enemy but is still searing at the prospect of life behind bars the sentencing of the twenty five year old responsible for the largest leak of classified documents in the country's history is underway and those hearings could drag on for several weeks the trials already provoked a strong reaction around the world and prompted a group of e.u. lawmakers now two words the u.s. government to free manning and weepies indeed from france sweden spain portugal croatia or ireland and germany in of all signed

a letter to president obama in the u.s. defense secretary they say that manning is quote not a traitor and had the best interests of his country at heart the more makers also expressed their concern over the u.s. war a whistleblower saying it undermines democracy on both sides of the atlantic manning they said has suffered too much in spending over three years behind bars including ten months in solitary confinement overall the message is manning should be free to soon as possible well earlier we talked to helmet shoulder sees a member of the european parliament and one of the signatories to that letter sent to president obama he explained to us what was behind this letter. it's not all you political gesture that there's also aiming at trying to communicate to the american public as well as to the administration and to the authorities we need to check up what is the the picture on what is the content of this trial and we hope that our just increasing awareness whistleblower we should be in the interest of the united

states of democracy as a source of democracy in other states a part of the world we have to request to we are asked to to rethink the democratic behavior of the united states in the international community. still to begin to john who is an icelandic lawmaker from the pirate party is joining us live on the line oh hi there thanks be with us one time your party nominated private bradley manning for the nobel peace prize now of course on paper at least he's a convicted criminal and you feel about that. you're quite upset and actually appalled by the fact that you slam on him one hundred thirty six years in prison for putting out in the public domain information that you truly belong there and also the fact let's not forget that nobody has been held accountable for the war crimes the whole world was unable to see depicted in the video collateral murder

nobody has been other comparable or not except the whistleblower bradley manning you know that's absolutely outrageous ok so the sort of person most all this would say well what was the point that in the first place of doing it if no one is held accountable. well obviously there is still hope that somebody could be held accountable or not be as lee bradley manning could not know that he would be the only person so within justice and i find it very strange that even if you can actually see soldiers. shooting and killing a wanted person and nobody has been questioned so it's high time that we can figure out how the u.s. legal system works so that somebody could be held accountable for the devil's advocates who would say well how would you feel if someone divulged some secret icelandic government information that was highly sensitive maybe put people at risk people's lives in danger i'm not asking the big devil's advocate what is your own for the about the interest only enough. well nobody has been called in to damn its

way and there has been no provable in anybody's hands except the us military and their nato allies iceland this and they are and if indeed my government wants to stop taking in something of this nature being done in miami i would very much like to know you can't have. any either a lot make a general public taking informed decisions if you don't have the information to make that this nation based the information hunt so also want to stress that this is so important in relation to bradley manning that bradley manning is never going to get a fair trial because president obama had said before the trial started it was guilty and that he was even guiltier than anyone else because he was not aware of the classification level under documents that bradley manning needs there are four

million people in the united states that have access to the documents bradley manning put out into the public domain you mentioned that no one's wise are put at risk because thinking about those afghan war logs released by money back in two thousand and ten did reveal names identities of some informants surely they were put at risk that was reckless no. well that's why the time who act we met them and you see the brand how the law. going to pull out. a new york times so that they could release it in such a way that nobody would people say that was not bradley manning. and i don't think so obviously i have never spoken to him but it was sent to sample private in statement and his intention was never to put anybody in harm's way and he is certainly not a traitor it is actually interesting the whistleblowers are usually people that have tremendous faith and this is when they recognize that the system is not so

going to the people that's when they feel. a strong need to reveal the wrongdoing that's being done to the general public so he's actually a very patriotic person towards us nation and the same would apply it's not a very far quick thought for snowden is in hiding many is convicted what is the future for whistleblowing without a mind. it's bleak but despite the fact that bradley manning was supposed to be used you know this trial to scare other was a blow as doing what they. considered in many countries to be an heroic act to the general public. snowden still did it. and i'm very pleased that the m.e.p. have sent this letter to obama and because iceland is not a part of the e.u. i can't tell my name on it but i have definitely supported i think bradley manning

has served just going to justice roy moore make of our party thank you for being on the program as you. artist would have put meyer took the streets of new york to gauge opinion there let's listen. union square has been something of a stomping ground for bradley manning supporters in new york city you see over the years many rallies have been held here in honor of the army private first class intelligence analyst now manning has been found guilty of downloading and releasing confidential u.s. documents that subsequently disclosed illegal activity and crimes on the part of washington manning faces up to one hundred thirty six years in prison instead of telling you how the public is reacting to this news we're handing our microphone directly over to the citizens bradley manning didn't commit any crimes would be like as if you shot me and the camera man said hey i've got this voted you have this crime and he. you know put it out there for justice and instead of trying you

they try him and it doesn't make any sense it whether it's mr manning or snowden. i think they're doing a good thing because the american people are basically enslaved and they're you know they're told what to do by the media and they follow orders it would appear to me that the manning verdict would be sending a message to edward snowden i'm sure he's listening to news in better hands in russia doesn't matter you see there. abide by whatever we do i want to just salute bradley manning we were in support of you if you look at the apache helicopter video which probably the most famous one. for the american public at least know what is actually going on in the war i think something needs to be done is far from a legal standpoint needs to be changed because like the american public needs to know about things like that now although manning has been acquitted of aiding the

enemy charges he may be punished for the rest of his life for presenting the american public with the truth reporting from new york for an up or nine our tape where we bring in a. this from bradley manning's sentence here in fort meade maryland as a situation of ups over the coming hours and days stay with us for that and a lot. coming up in a couple of minutes just a bit late to the program tonight more talks but no agreement deep rooted feuds between the israelis and the palestinians looks set to remain unresolved at least until next april when the sides hope to come up with what they're calling a final status deal to talk about that and that right. there of muslim world is ablaze with conflict and turmoil the revolution civil war or external meddling there can be no doubt this region will never be the same again it would also appear to be old meal colonial for much of the region is coming to an

end but what is replacing it and who is on the right side of history. speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of v.i.p.'s interviews intriguing stories for you. then try. to find out more visit our big. interview. a feel good.

q a separate state john kerry has arrived in pakistan hoping to strengthen dialogue with the country's new government topping the agenda of the cia's deadly drone strikes on pakistani soil if she's become all the more controversial since classified documents were leaked showing one in five victims of the attacks is

a civilian us foreign policy and his friend says kerry fully recognizes are damaging the issue is for relations with islam about. he himself just two years ago when he was the head of the senate foreign relations committee correctly the afghanistan is a sideshow and of the main of which is pakistan so he understands the importance of having good relations with pakistan and the first step to doing that is to end the drone strikes mediately because they've turned eighty percent of the population against the united states the pakistani taliban were far weaker in two thousand and three than they are today as a result of our drone strikes of we've put tens of thousands of people into the pakistani taliban and strengthen them and the pakistani government has not shown it so particularly capable of controlling them several dozen u.s. national security experts have said and very clear terms that these drone strikes

are not harming the pakistani taliban but actually helping them recruit members this is a strategic catastrophe without parallel in american history. take a little bit covered so you don't come al-qaeda has pledged to spend no effort in freeing prisoners from guantanamo bay because more details on that if you want to read up about it out and go. straight the other flies alongside the plane cities a custom made jet pack there is you watch that video many others on our website. our first three hiatus peace talks between israel and palestine and are starting to get back on track so far the only result those but in agreement to hold further talks in two weeks' time but over the coming nine months the negotiators saying to iron out their key disputes washington which is hosting the negotiations says the aim is to reach a final status agreement but there's no compromise on the horizon so far the goal

is a two state solution which would see israel co-exist peacefully alongside a new palestinian state the two sides will first need to. michael a number of divisive issues israeli settlement expansion the status of jerusalem and the fate of refugees the palestinians also want israel to return land seized in one hundred sixty seven. that has got the story next of one arabic speaking minority fighting for equal rights in israel. each weekend israelis flock to this truce village on the top of mount carmel the shops are busy the restaurants full and the laughs flow as freely as the wine there is very good restaurants here in the area it's very welcoming if you like to be a lot of love that brings it's great to make you feel really comfortable twelve thousand inhabitants of a sphere village have opened their doors to tourists it's a way of bringing in cash while preserving the traditional druze lifestyle. kamel

above owns a popular cafe there would not be out of place in tel aviv or any other israeli jewish city. the people who come here usually look for something with and something they can only find within the druze community what they don't look for and don't see is something just as authentic a community floundering on to a lack of basic necessities the druze are an arabic speaking people who follow an offshoot of islam they hold a distinct place in israeli society as the only major non jewish community whose majority of members are drafted into the israeli army. has lived here for twenty years his home still has no electricity and only three years ago did he get running water i served in the army my kids will serve as well will live in israel but we don't receive what the israelis are getting i don't know why we don't ask for special privileges just electricity crews and arab villages have always received less funding than jewish areas resulting in poor quality of education in arab

schools and weak infrastructure and social services. our relationship with the jewish communities around us is perfectly fine no problem but our relationship with israel establishment is different for the degrees people are not with the druze people we have difficulties on many levels first of all getting budgets approved for planning and then the planning itself. most of these raids who visit here are bolivia's to the problems and even those who. no prefer to look the other way i haven't heard my own so i myself don't know about it i read that there was some problems regarding some of the just you are wrong but i don't know if it is really government approved drugs. yeah i've heard about it now though the problem. a lot of problem in sewage and treated. trouble building because of the limited space in building but it's not only about turning the other cheek and

choosing not to see there are israelis i've spoken to here feel nothing about acting racist slurs about arabs and then eating in the restaurants but getting them to admit it on camera is almost impossible. the problem is not from my side i know the language but they don't understand mine i served in the military i understand them but they sometimes come with certain prejudices about the druze and we surprise them by how alike we are. but not enough alike it seems to stop them living in very different worlds policy r.t. is fear a village in northern israel. will abuse a brief now in iraq new deadly blasts of ripped through two mosques in baghdad killing at least nine it comes after al qaeda linked group confirmed that it had carried out a series of bombings which left sixty dead across iraq on monday the government says the country is now facing a full on war against sectarian extremists who killed five hundred in july alone.
