very. snooping on fresh revelations shed light on the u.s. intelligence his own search engine that can endlessly mind your private e-mails and all of your online footprints. still no decision from the e.u. on shipments to syria with mounting fears the lifting of the embargo was not such a good idea the conflict in the war torn country fuels extremism on european soil. and online protests are expected to rock the russian web with a new law allowing websites that break copyrights to be blocked it's now in place look at the pros and cons comparing it to similar regulations in other countries.

it's high noon here in moscow this is r.t. with me will receive top world headlines for this hour a search engine for all of your private information that's what an n.s.a. program called x. keyscore is now this is according to freshly published documents which were provided by edward snowden this before he arrived in the transit zone of a moscow airport they detail was described as the widest reaching intelligence gathering system used in the entire world an explanation now for the aussie's guy nature can. 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 and 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 is opposition what makes anyone think that or something like that can't happen today

in washington i'm going to check them. now these latest published revelations indicate that the x. keyscore program of targeted russia's largest e-mail service as well a male dog was on the list of websites singled out by the wide reaching surveillance software authors lives in france joins us now to tell us more about him live on the program lizzie good to see you gosh they've been busy boys you just can't stop them the u.s. intelligence now been keeping a very keen eye on what russian online users have been up to as well. that's right rory it's come as quite a surprise to many people here that the u.s. government has been looking into at mail dot brew as you said it is the most popular and widely used email provider in russia it's numbers are very big and if you look at what the n.s.a. has been looking at some of the world's largest a websites as far as internet traffic goes we're talking facebook yahoo twitter. c.n.n. dot com google and g.

mail these are and now not only that but this isn't just the email services either companies like google have expanded into dr google documents and people increasingly keep a large amount of very private information on those servers so it just begs the question how deep is the n.s.a. looking into these things outside of the e-mail and how much those programs may expand in the future but it has come as quite a surprise to many people that the n.s.a. has been looking into russia's largest email provider lizzie what about what's happening now to the man who distribute through all those documents in the first place would it snowed and the latest on him. well he is reportedly still at sheremetyevo airport thus the journalistic stakeout continues there of course he is supposed to be making a statement later this afternoon on the verdict of bradley manning so everyone is

waiting and watching. to see when he or representative make him out to issue one of those statements by his father has had a very difficult time of it trying to make his case for us no to getting a fair trial back in his home country he spoke with the press very recently to express his frustration that he's dealing with in this case. and i hope you're watching your family as well and we love you i hope to see you shoot 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 recall aberrate 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. now long snowden has also expressed frustration at the fact that he had attempted to a savage communication with edward via the f.b.i. but that wasn't able to happen so he called into question a lot of the motives on the part of the f.b.i. and possibly using him as an emotional tool to lure his son out from from essentially his hiding spot at the airport so we will definitely be keeping a very close eye on on this throughout the day to see if edward snowden does issue a statement and exactly what he says in that regarding the verdict of bradley manning all right. thank you. well meantime with mounting public

skepticism about u.s. security methods the director of national. allergan says declassified several top secret documents detailing data collection and the discussion about surveillance tactics meanwhile taking center stage on capitol hill with lawmakers questioning the efficiency of such wide scale operations more now from washington and artie's correspondent liz wahl. well the leagues by edward snowden 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 five 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 eleven judges on the fars record 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 a 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 of war to say the least not happy basically the general today admitted to every scene they can possibly get. was exceptional use it it's 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 in washington liz wall. on the trial of u.s. army whistleblower bradley manning is now into its sentencing phase he could get one hundred thirty six years behind bonds for releasing the secret documents to wiki leaks a 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 did in danger troops though he admitted that no deaths resulted from those leaks after a lengthy hearing a manning 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 and i mean disclosed with a video right here showing the murder of civilians by u.s.

soldiers in iraq with troops expressing more about their actions and almost solomon is the founder and executive director of the institute for public accuracy he says while manning's releases did not result in any loss of life at 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 that we 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 now until the end of the month but if you're looking for more details on how the witness testimonies are unfolding before them or lined up on the website arts he thought come. now today is the day after which e.u. leaders pledged to themselves to take a decision on arming the syrian rebels of his son official deadline was set back in may when e.u. ministers led by britain and france agreed to end their arms embargo but since then they seem to have had a bit of a change of heart regarding weapons supplies to the syrian opposition the main issue that of extremism concerns there also fears of a potential terror a backflow with more foreigners now fighting in syria with many coming straight in from easy use states french official says this flow is unprecedented during the

nine years of the afghan conflict only fifty she hardest were aidid as going into the country while in syria in one year alone more than one hundred left france to fight against president assad experts say most of the westerners are self radicalized and join the terrorist ranks of al qaeda and the al nusra front the total number of europeans fighting in syria estimated now to be at least six hundred officials say that could be well higher than that and france's interior ministry recently called the threat quote a ticking time bomb artie's tester austerely reporting now on why the e.u. could be wary of arming the syrian rebels. what are you ok on the syrian rebels or not that's a question that's been answered a number of different places upon the began the mostly in varying degrees and the like but also has always sending signals of support for the opposition it will be no political progress unless the opposition is able to withstand the old school and put pressure on a sat so he those there is no military victory so we will also increase our efforts

to support and to shape the moderate opposition we are prepared to amend arms embargo or no. we must ensure that these arms go to the syrian national coalition and no one else to want a 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 e.u. leaders agreed to disagree on syria when 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 their arms embargo on the syrian opposition this is the outcome of the united kingdom it wanted rhetoric in the millicent of the need 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. supermarket for the entirety of the of the middle east and if they were to go into syria that would be true to a power of attorney 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 recent reports from syria show all kind of affiliated groups wanting to establish an islamic caliphate and dissolution rebels 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 al-qaeda in somalia there was no al qaida in syria but there is now an idea that's not lost on the british prime minister there's too much extremism among

some of the rebels but frankly we do need to do more to help promote those parts of the opposition that want a free purchased a democratic syria and so we're not all being the rebels this are cilia r t london . so at the moment are the western allies of the syrian opposition seem reluctant to arm them my colleague kevin owen challenge the free syrian army spokesman who said they need more weapons but can't control where they'll end up. you said 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 that that won't happen and we're talking about extremists or terrorists that entered syria they didn't parachuted in they crossed the border and we must find out how more than a thousand taliban fighters entered the country and how it kind of members escaped from iraq and prisoners and syria so there's international will to get all the

islamists and terrorist elements into syria to change their military and political equation in the country downplayed the syrian revolution we asked the foreign fighters al qaida 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 what are you certain that the f.s.a. really can control the extremist elements fighting alongside your movement. and 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 un to investigate three sites in syria where chemical weapons allegedly were used one of them outside aleppo where more than twenty were killed in march by the agents the u.k.

and france presented reports detailing evidence the weapons were used on several occasions washington confirms that blames the syrian government for the use russia meantime says it disagrees blaming the rebels for the un investigation will be ended establishing whether the weapons were used or not regardless of which side may have used them. why many more stories ahead if you hear an aussie including the greek bailout butting a gaping hole in european pockets i would gauge the mood of german taxpayers obliged to chip into the greek rescue package as it emerges needs another multi billion euro bailout. the main competitor girl on the market is mother nature. may customers struggle with to. fight for each. supplier.

from moscow it's a t. with me rule re sushi thanks for joining us today starting today russian websites with content that infringes on copyrights could be shut down and you anti piracy law has put an end to the years of uncontrolled piracy here alva critics claim it's opening the doors to censorship several websites will stop working today and protest against the new regulations. he has a closer look at the legislation comparing it to other pieces used by governments around the world. despite that statistic some piracy 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 adult the law which stipulates that anyone violating canton distribution rules is given to warnings on e-mails before the internet service provider is forced to cut off the use the internet access if the culprit 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 are 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 all right across on the website right now r.t. dot com four million bucks that's one of the many students paid our forget about him in a jail cell for five days without food or water. for the latest on the ongoing brain uprising where yet another activist has been arrested just a click away right now for this hour on the web site. the meantime are just days after paying another bailout loan to greece the global lenders have found out

athens needs billions more the i.m.f. says the debt riddled greek economy is facing an additional financial shortfall of nearly eleven billion euros over just the next two years that's bad news for the german taxpayers as part of the eurozone strongest member they're bearing a large burden of the greek rescue of a file the report. 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 trying to get greece back on its feet financially the international monetary fund has highlighted an 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 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 greece to greek people this is a one hundred million euro beef that supposed to help the development of. small businesses in the country and not near 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 the greek people or to the german people who are going to of course be voting in a general election in september they're going to be told that more were of their taxes are going to be going to the neighbors in the south. is 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. 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 softer more prosy people controlling the budget but unfortunately i think this will happen. i'm sick and tired of this you know my money but the taxes are paid to go to greece those guys the retired forty enough to pay for it i'm absolutely tired of it it shouldn't happen this report from the i.m.f. also goes to show that some of the more positive signs regarding greece that we've seen in recent times like the leveling off of unemployment figures is really telling the whole story that there's still an awful lot of work that needs to be done before greece can be officially say that it's on the comeback trail when it comes to its finances. ok well the time here on out see straight to cairo now where back in the after gyptian president mohamed morsi say they now expect a massacre this software defined the government's ban on cairo's citizens the police have also been ordered to put an end to the protests of the military backed

off thora he's calling them a threat to national security of the country remains on the brink of chaos with clashes over the weekend that left seventy. to brazil with and see government protesters captured a city council building in rio de janeiro last night they were rapidly dislodged though by police armed with stun guns and tear gas with the clashes there spreading out onto the streets of the protests started back in june over a bus fare hike rapidly snowballed into a nationwide anger over that of government corruption. or it's been good having you with us here or not see up next we travel into the wilds of colombia for a closer look at the country's booming gold industry thanks for joining us.

remember we talked about clothing 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 on average day violate your privacy and thus they invented the just to scare up this hat black your face with the lights from face recognition software 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 should. to exist people shouldn't have to live with the constant fear of unlawful consent less observation but sadly they do so invaders keep the freedom fashions coming but that's just my opinion.

for the past ten years colombia has welcomed foreign capital with open arms in his turn the new president juan manuel santos places mining at the center of his development model in bogota be independent expert euro denounces and insist race relationship between the multinationals and the colombian political class. know it. it isn't just an impression it's a reality there exists a very strong link between these companies and the political elite and they serve the interests of the big melt.
