snooping on fresh revelations shed light on that u.s. intelligence. can endlessly mind your property and all of your online. still no decision from the e.u. on shipments to syria here's the lifting of the it was not such a good idea as the conflict in the water on country fuels extremism on european soil. and into the wild piracy era for the russian internet and new laws in place websites that break copyright to be blocked we look at the pros and cons comparing it to similar regulations and other countries.

just after ten am in a very sunny moscow it's r.t. with me rule research street world headlines we go a search engine for all of your private information that's what an n.s.a. program called x. keyscore is according to the latest revelations from edward snowden freshly published documents were provided by snowden before he arrived in the transit zone of a moscow airport and they detail what's described as the widest reaching intelligence gathering system used in the world and the explanation now swansea's gynae to check . remember when edward snowden said he could wiretap anyone at any time be the president or a federal judge if he had their personal e-mail that he could see the content of everyone's communications without a warrant the n.s.a. came out and said snowden was lying nobody can do that without a warrant snowden's latest revelation shows yes they can and i say training

materials that he had provided to the guardian show that the analysts use a program called x. keyscore to mine and norma's agency databases by filling in a simple onscreen form giving only a broad justification for the search no warrant needed just type in the e-mail address and click search same with your facebook it's another internet activity it can all be easily searched how convenient analysts can also search by name telephone number ip address keywords the language in which the your negativity was conducted or the type of browser used the presentation claims the program covers nearly everything a typical user does on the internet including the content of emails websites visited and searches as well as their meditator x. keyscore boast global coverage it uses more than seven hundred servers at one hundred fifty sites around the world show me all the encrypted word documents from iran no problem or this part of the top secret training material shows that

language is not a problem x. keyscore can do different languages obviously x. his core is not the only data mining program that the n.s.a. uses earlier we learned about the prism program which the agency uses to gain access to the private communications of users of nine popular internet services x. keyscore kind of like looks like their search engine it's their google of course as an ordinary non terrorist citizen you may be perfectly fine with the fact that some analysts say analyst may know more about you than your wife or your husband does but there are those who are genuinely concerned about the growing power of the n.s.a. . what if they don't want to certain person in office someone who would cut their funding or something this country has a history of wiretapping scandals after all president richard nixon resigned after a whistleblower whistleblower revealed that nixon's office had wiretapped his opposition what makes anyone think that or something like that can't happen today

in washington and get it checked out and with mounting public skitt of skepticism about u.s. security methods the director of national intelligence has declassified several top secret documents detailing data collection for the discussion about surveillance tactics meanwhile taking center stage right on capitol hill with lawmakers questioning the efficiency of such wide scale operations so more on this now to washington and artie's liz wahl. well the league's byard where it's noted have led to a renewed national debate on government spying and privacy rights the revelations of the leaks prompted the senate judiciary committee to hold a hearing on fight the foreign intelligence surveillance act that allows the government program to happen now f.b.i. and n.s.a. officials are in damage control mode the eleven judges on the far as a court are far from a rubber stamp instead they review all of our pleadings thoroughly question us and they don't approve an order until they are satisfied that we have met all statutory

and constitutional requirements in an effort to appear more transparent director of national security james clapper has just released some documents from two thousand and nine to two thousand and eleven that were previously classified but many civil rights and privacy advocates remain troubled by how broad the government surveillance program is and worry about the ability of the government to track innocent citizens at the senate hearing government officials discuss the possibility of changing the place the process to make it more transparent another sign that the leaks are making waves is happening over in las vegas at the annual def con hacker conference although it happens every year this year and i say security agency director keith alexander was the keynote speaker and we're hearing the participants of the event were to say the least not happy basically the general today admitted to doing everything they can possibly get a job was exceptional usages these talking amongst you chose it which for the rest

of it will it really makes no difference whatsoever proving that there's tension between the government and the computer hacking community but it's clear for the obama administration cybersecurity is now a priority and washington liz wall are to. kind of shifting our attention to that of the trial of us army whistleblower bradley manning now into its sentencing phase he could get one hundred. thirty six years behind bars for releasing secret documents to wiki leaks now former u.s. brigadier general was the first witness to testify he said manning's revelations about what the military did in iraq and afghanistan endangered troops however he did admit that no deaths resulted from those leaks now after a lengthy hearing manny was found guilty on twenty out of twenty two counts against him a large portion of them falling right under the espionage act however he was acquitted of the most serious charge that of aiding the enemy one of the most shocking things

that manning disclosed was this video right here showing the murder of civilians by u.s. soldiers in iraq with troops expressing you know grew more so by their actions and norman solomon a founder and executive director of the institute for public accuracy he says that while manning is releases did not result in the loss of any lives the same cannot be said about u.s. officials starting wars overseas when wiki leaks released a trobe interim ation giving insight to what u.s. policy for instance has been over the years in iraq and afghanistan we had been share of the joint chiefs of staff mike mullen saying and i'm quoting here. had blood on their hands well it turns out that according to pentagon testimony on wednesday there is no blood even by their own account fishel account of testimony on the hands of wiki leaks or bradley manning when leaders go to war there

is a lot of blood on the hands of those leaders we need whistleblowers who speak out with truth for human rights. and those sentencing procedures are expected to last until the end of the month if you're looking though for more details on how the witness testimonies are unfolding they're all lined up for you on the website azzi dot com . meantime here on the program today's the day after which e.u. leaders pledged to themselves to take a decision on arming the syrian rebels this unofficial deadline was set back in may when e.u. ministers led by britain and france agreed to end their arms embargo however since then they seem to have had a bit of a change of heart regarding weapons supplies to the syrian opposition over that of extremist concerns and also fears of a possible terror back flow with more foreigners now fighting in syria with many coming now from e.u. states

a french official says this flow is unprecedented during the nine years of the afghan conflict only fifty she harvests were identified as going to the country meanwhile in syria just one year more than a hundred left france to fight against president assad and experts say that most of the westerners are self radicalized and join the terrorist ranks of al qaeda and the al nusra front or the total number of europeans fighting in syria now estimated at about six hundred though the actual number could be much higher and france's interior minister recently called the threat a ticking time bomb r.t. tests are silly reports now on why the e.u. could be wary of arming the syrian rebels. while the u.k. arm the syrian rebels or not that's a question that's been answered in a number of different places accomplished began a mostly in varying degrees of right but ultimately always sending signals of support for the opposition it will be new political progress in less the opposition is able to withstand the onslaught and put pressure on assad so here is there is no

military victory so we will also increase our efforts to support and to shape the moderate opposition we propose to a man. that was served. we must ensure that these arms go to the syrian national coalition into no one else to one half years on syria continues to pay the delicate complex picture a battleground constantly shifting as it is with western leaders rhetoric in american twelve hour meeting in may you need or is agreeing to disagree on syria with the u.k. and france successfully getting their way even though they were at odds with the twenty five other member states the european union has agreed to bring to an end the arms embargo only syrian opposition this is the outcome of the united kingdom it wanted rhetoric in the middest sense of the meet up to the libyan intervention also led by the same players it's remarkable there you go they could simply try and

override the experience of libya because as a recent report said libya is not a super market for the entirety of the of the middle east and if they were to go into syria that would be true to the power of ten on august first e.u. countries can reassess their positions on syria and those who wish to arm the rebels may do so but as that day drew closer hesitation grew louder with david cameron acknowledging that there are quote unquote a lot of bad guys amongst the rebels and recent reports from syria show all kind of affiliated groups wanting to establish an islamic caliphate and dissolution rebels and defecting back to the government side before the the war in afghanistan and before the attack on iraq there was no al qaida in iraq there was no al qaida in yemen there was no calcutta in somalia there was no al qaida in syria but there is not an idea that's not lost on the british prime minister there's too much

extremism about some of the rebels but frankly we do need to do more to help promote those parts of the opposition that want a free purpose to democratic syria and so we're not being the rebels this are cilia r.t. london. and jonathan steele the guardian columnist and international affairs author he believes the decision not to arm the syrian rebels is ultimately rooted in the conflict in libya. i don't think the british government will arm the rebels at all because they're just suffered a major political defeat in the british parliament and they feel that they were cheated over libya they feel that britain went in on a military intervention with france against libya against gadhafi without coming to parliament and they feel that it's not worked out very well in libya and they don't want the government to try and get this sort of decision through through without coming to parliament so at the moment of their western allies of the syrian

opposition look rather reluctant to arm them and my colleague kevin l. and he had a bit of a challenge with. the free syrian army spokesman that basically said despite calls for more weapons opposition fighters simply don't know how to stop the weapons from falling into the hands of extremists. so you want more arms than from the west but what would you say to the extremely worried politicians in both europe and the us that have raised concerns of extremist elements within the opposition could get hold of those sophisticated western arms what guarantee can you give them but that won't happen. we're talking about extremists or terrorists that entered syria they didn't parachuted in they crossed borders and we must find out how more than a thousand taliban fighters entered the country and how our kind of members escaped from iraqi prisons in and in syria so there's international will to get all the islamists and terrorist elements into syria to change the military and political equation of the country downplayed the syrian revolution we asked the foreign

fighters al qaeda and the al nasra front to leave syria we won't allow any extremists or terrorists to dictate their agenda on the future of the country are you certain that the f.s.a. really can control the extremist elements fighting alongside your movement. we need help on that we need help to get rid of the syrian regime and extremist elements who are against terrorism and massacres we don't want to kill people supporting the government because this syrians we want all extremists to get away from syria and prostascint syria there's no place for islamists in the country. meanwhile damascus has agreed to allow the u.n. to investigate three sites where chemical weapons have allegedly been used earlier this year the u.k. and france presented reports with detailed evidence the weapons were deployed on several occasions now the u.s. also said it's intelligence agencies that believe the syrian government used chemical is against the opposition including the nerve gas sarin

a russia said though it had ample evidence it was the rebels utilized the chemicals however the u.n. investigation will simply be aimed at establishing whether or not the weapons were deployed in the country regardless of which side was responsible for their use. stories ahead. including the greek bailout of putting a massive hole in the pockets of european we gauge the mood of german taxpayers obliged to chip into the greek rescue package as it now emerges is facing yet another. financial gap including. just around the corner for you.

right to see. her street. and i think. foreigners. instrument.

with me rule re sushi not. breaking the set of the meantime though starting today russian websites with that infringes copyrights could be shy. down a new and piracy law has put an end to years of uncontrolled piracy critics claim it simply opening the doors to censorship elected a chef to give now looking at the new regulations comparing them to those still currently being used by other governments around the world despite that statistic some clarity in russia has improved over the last decade dropping from ninety three percent in two thousand and one to a little more than sixty percent last year it is still a huge problem and it is rated among the top five countries in the world in terms of piracy let me demonstrate what you can do on the russian web for instance you want to watch a freshly released movie but you don't want to pay for it then you go to one of the famous social network websites and russia find the movie you want which is always

a loaded by the users. and. there you have it credit to the owners of an administration of the website they're trying to fight this problem they're blocking the users uploading the illegal content but with fifty million users and even more than that registered for this website alone it is an uphill task something the new legislation is about to mend from now on if any website is having illegal content on it then it will be reported to a special governing body a watchdog body called who will then tell the website owner to remove this content within seventy two hours if the person refuses to do that then his website will be shut down will be suspended until the trial in court it will be then decided whether the person is innocent whether his conduct is legal and he may relaunch the site or the site will be shut down for good now this law even before it became a reality even before it passed the russian parliament caused the fury online and

even some minor street protests with people believing that this will lead to censorship on the web this will lead to blocking of websites only on suspicion of having illegal content so some people believe that this new law will significantly suppress freedoms online and lead to online prosecution which is not quite the case if you read into this law but now let's compare how other countries worldwide are fighting the very same problem with piracy in two thousand and nine france passed the so-called dopey law which stipulates that anyone violating granting distribution rules is given two warnings on e-mails before the internet service provider is forced to cut off the use the internet access if the corporate persists he risks a fine of up to three hundred thousand euros or prison time of up to three years the most liberal anti-piracy lloyd is believed to be in the netherlands torrent websites are technically outlawed but still downloading counted for noncommercial use is not illegal uploading it means breaking the law and possible prosecution japan adopted its anti-piracy law last year and it was immediately branded as

draconian quite understandably some may say because. violating it would lend you a fine of one million yen that's roughly ten thousand dollars and a two year prison term often violators punished with both it's worth mentioning that none of the above mentioned countries have registered an increase in purchases of legal content since adopting these laws how the new legislation works in russia which stands in between not only geographically but in terms of the law strictness but has a far more serious piracy issue will become clear very soon meanwhile the dot com right now four million bucks but if you wish to to get off the police forget i'm in a prison cell for five days without food or water and a pretty hefty. dose of all the latest on a bus or an uprising or yet another top activist has been arrested it's all just a click away right now at r.t. dot com. right see. first rick. and i think you're.

on our recorders. ok it's nearly time for the world update for now though before we get to it it's just days after paying out another bailout loan to greece international lenders have now found out that athens is going to need billions more the i.m.f. says the debt ridden greek economy is facing an additional financial shortfall of nearly eleven billion euros and that's just over the next two years and that's pretty bad news for german taxpayers who was part of the eurozone strongest member and was the bearing a large burden of the greek rescue this report correspondent peter all of. germany's politicians are being accused of keeping the country's taxpayers in the

dark when it comes to just how much they going to be asked to fork out to try and get greece back on its feet financially the international monetary fund is highlighted in almost eleven billion euro black hole in the plan to try and get greece greece's economy back working it also highlighted the need for the writing off of of many loans that have been given to the mediterranean country now all of this comes against the backdrop of the german finance minister being in athens talks there in amongst his charities they will be giving a one hundred million euro gift to the greeks to greek people this is a one hundred million euro piece that supposed to help the development of. small businesses in the country not new in the news that they are well almost eleven billion euro short of what's going to be needed for fiscal renewal well that's not going to come is great news to either the greek people or to the german people who

are going to of course be voting and the general election in september they're going to be told that most of the taxes are going to be going to the neighbors in the south you know. it's almost assured that she will get the money that it's required however the german people that will be giving it that money best pleased about having to do it i think america will still manage to convince people without any proper explanation they would just trust her i don't think that's a good thing because we forget about one of the paramount principle soft democracy people controlling the budget but unfortunately i think this will happen i'm sick and tired of this you know my money the taxes are paid they go to greece those guys they retire at forty and i have to pay for it i'm absolutely tired of it it shouldn't happen this report from the i.m.f. also. to show that some of the more positive signs regarding greece that we've seen

in recent times like the leveling off of own employment figures is really telling the whole story that there's still an awful lot of work that needs to be done before greece can officially say that it's on the comeback trail when it comes to its finances and as the choking economies around the world are struggling to get back on track and the lesson to be learned is to get rid of big banks who are looting the world's financial system and that's what max keiser and stacy herbert explain in the upcoming program in about an hour and five minutes from now for the meantime though here on r.g.p. a quick preview. we're talking about parasites tapeworms they burrow into the system and in the case of jamie diamond or lloyd blankfein or warren buffett they lead vital nutrients and they kill the host some parasites are vital in the gut as part of the ecosystem of one's intestines when these parasites grow to these enormous sizes whether it's a six inch long tapeworm in your brain that has to be pulled out through your nose

as i believe the doctors in china did or they went in there what they surgical equipment or a sixty foot long anaconda tapeworms like jamie diamond who's lodged up to a strange thing of america's financial system leeching out the vital nutrients or in this case cash leaving the economy in places like detroit to die. before we get so obvious martin let's get to the anti world update now we'll open it up with a libyan court which is now sentenced to khadafi iraq's minister to death. but he was found guilty of inciting violence kidnapping and murder during the two thousand and eleven uprising it was called gathering supporters in the town of sort of to fight against the insurgency just days ago another regime officials also sentenced to death the son is due in court this month. and backers of the ousted egyptian president mohamed morsi say they now expect

a massacre after defying the government's ban on cairo's sit ins police have been ordered to put an end to the protests the military backed with dorothy's calling them a threat to national security or the country remains on the brink of chaos clashes over the weekend killed seventy. and vote counting is underway after zimbabwe's presidential and parliamentary polls yesterday and the results should seal the fate of eighty nine year old president robert mugabe after three years in power he's declared he will step down if he's not reelected however western observers were barred from the polling stations. antigovernment protesters are captured a city council building in rio de janeiro last night and they were rapidly dislodged by police armed with stun guns and tear gas with kalash is breaking out on the streets for the protests started back in june over a bus fare hike but rapidly snowballed into nationwide anger over the issue of government corruption. or is time for. cutting through the mainstream headlines in

breaking the set just about. remember we talked about calling for regular folks like you and me that can make you invisible drones well freedom fashions as i like to call them are continuing to expand although the fact that our drones infrared eyes are very scary the more common street cameras are way more likely to one average day violate your privacy and thus they invented the justice cap this hat blocks your face with the lights from face recognition saw. where all the camera will see is an anonymous glowing ghost i personally haven't tested this thing out nor have i seen it with my own

eyes and wearing three aaa batteries on your head at all times does seem like a bit of a bother but hey if you really want to be left alone and you're willing to throw down a few dollars this looks like a pretty good fashion statement to me the sad thing is that this sort of invention shouldn't need to exist people shouldn't have to live with the constant fear of unlawful consent less observation but sadly they do so inventors keep the freedom fashions coming but that's just my opinion. please. look. look. you live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck i got so. i mean. i know that i'm still really messed up. in the all three so

closely to the. worst superglue through the white house to the. radio guy and four minutes from a click. away close to good use never seen anything like this i'm telling. you guys i'm reminded of the spanking the sat so question all the frequent travelers out there how do you feel about the t.s.a. sure there is the issue of radioactive body scanners and the fact that they're incapable of incorporating software though attack our privacy but the t.s.a. says problems go much deeper than just body scanners are recent report by the government accountability office over nine thousand cases a t.s.a. misconduct occurred between two thousand and ten.
