7:05 am
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 may come out to issue one of those statements by his father has had a very difficult time of it trying to make his case for snowden getting a fair trial and i hope you are 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 shaved 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
7:06 am
not be executed or tortured if he were brought back the fact is no assurances have been provided 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 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. representatives of the male dog all you group they denied being a target of surveillance by the n.s.a. . today's the day after which e.u. leaders pledged themselves to take a decision on on the syrian rebels there's an official deadline was set in may when the e.u. ministers led by britain and france agreed to end their arms and bulger but since then they seem to have had
7:07 am
a change of heart regarding weapons supplies to the syrian opposition after extremism concerns and they're also fears of a potential terabyte flow with more foreigners now fighting in syria was many coming from e.u. states and french officials says this flow is unprecedented during the nine years of the afghan conflict only fifty eight to hardest were identified as going to the country while in syria in one year alone more than a hundred left fronts to fight against president assad experts say most all do westerners south radicalized and join the terrorist ranks of al qaeda and al nusra front the total number of europeans fighting in syria is estimated at up to six hundred while the actual number could be much higher france's interior minister recently called the a threat a ticking time bomb. scene reports now why the e.u. could be wary of arming the rebels. while the u.k. arm the syrian rebels would not that's a question that's been answered a number of different ways it's
7:08 am
a call that began to mostly in very degrees to the right but ultimately always said that signals of support for the opposition it would be political progress unless the opposition is able to withstand the and put pressure on assad says there is no military victory so we should increase our efforts to support and to shape the moderate opposition we are. 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
7:09 am
the arms embargo only syrian opposition this is the outcome of united kingdom and wanted rhetoric in the millicent of the made 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 the. supermarket 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 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 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
7:10 am
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 being the rebels this are cilia r.t. london. and p. and u.k. independence policy men by got free balloon says it was a mistake to even think of the rebels in the fast place of course it would be madness to pump arms into a situation which is already out of control and we have i'm afraid the western governments to blame for a lot of this a lot of this problem what they don't seem to understand is when they go into these because when they influence these countries they don't seem to have any and game
7:11 am
strategy so all we manage to have done in syria is see the complete destabilization of the rizzi regime we've seen murder we've seen mayhem we've seen revolution now we're seeing refugees pouring across the border because we don't understand how to deal with the problems of the middle east i think the whole policy was driven as these things very often are by the cia i knew could almost see the british prime minister the british foreign secretary read their instructions direct for the washington state to puff there's a whole pot boiling of problems out there and we don't ever seem to understand that now we've got another mess in syria we have a mess in iraq we've got a mess in afghanistan we've got a mess and egypt and we've got a message in libya why don't the western powers learn from any of this we now have another another failed state thank you america saw that the mom and the
7:12 am
western allies of the syrian opposition look reluctance to arm them my colleague kevin owen challenge to free syrian army spokesman they said they need more weapons but can't control where they will end up. you said you want more 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 sixty three missile terrorists that entered syria they didn't parachuted in they cross borders and we must find out how more than a thousand taliban fighters entered the country and how all kind of members escaped from iraqi prisons and 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 also the foreign fighters al qaida and the al nasra front to leave syria we won't allow any extremists or terrorists
7:13 am
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. 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 posthaste and syria there's no place for islamists in the country and. this is a little stories ahead for you including the greek bailout burning and you look at it's against the german taxpayer is obliged to chip in to the greek rescue package as it emerges arpels is facing the billion euro financial gap that's interesting. wealthy british style. expert on guys.

bond this is. the last word to shred and resident remaining and gone tanabe says his being sanctioned assaulted by the prison guards shaka has revealed details of a shocking procedure called to get the song and a conversation with his doa and his point of biker is here with us to tell us more that point nice to see you so what dean will learn from these shocking revelations by the president. well shakar am i told his lawyer that he faces so-called forced cell extract every single day yearly and prison guards only address him by his prison number which is two three nine so they enter his cell and he says that they flip him over for searches which are mainly assaults he says and sometimes even sexual assaults now as you said most of the prisoners call these
7:16 am
a get and he says that they involve shackling his arms and holding his head and squeezing on pressure points until he complies with what they're telling him to do which is to flip over onto his stomach now he said that they used to hold prisoners or to special wooden structures to carry them but nowadays that doesn't happen anymore and he's merely carried like a sack of potatoes which he says is an extremely painful procedure and when he tells the gods that they're about to break his arm they just shout stop resisting now in this last telephone conversation with his lawyer he said that he thinks that the severity all of these assaults is down to the hunger strike that he and schools of other prisoners have been under since january protesting against the conditions that they're being held under the prison and in the same conversation with his lawyer he said that he knows that if he doesn't comply and if he's difficult during these searches that he will get severely beaten up but he says that he feels is the
7:17 am
only way in which he can make a stand as i said against the conditions that he says he's living under and who exactly. tell us more about him. well as you said jack i am a is the last british resident in guantanamo bay he was born in saudi arabia but he is a british resident he has a wife and four children living in london that british citizens but he has been detained at guantanamo bay for eleven years without charge or trial now in recent months there have been concerns that he might be the u.s. is trying to render him over to saudi arabia his lawyers say that that could be because if he were to go to saudi arabia he would be silenced and he wouldn't be able to talk about the alleged torture and rendition that he's been through now as we all know the u.s. president has been promising to close down the prison for
7:18 am
a number of years now and if they do that they're potentially if that's a big if but they're potentially faced with a barrel of bad press from former detainees which is why shaq i am his lawyers are so concerned that he could be sent over to saudi arabia where he wouldn't be taught where he wouldn't be allowed to talk about his experience. paula many thanks indeed for that report. live from. starting today russian websites with continents that infringers called the riots could push on down a new one to piracy law has put an end to years of uncontrolled piracy however critics claim it's opening the doors to censorship several websites have stopped working today in protest against the new regulations on she's an expat a chef skip takes a closer look at the legislation comparing it to those used by other governments around the world. despite that statistic some piracy in russia has improved over
7:19 am
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 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 and 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 opulent 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 web site will be
7:20 am
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 danton distribution rules is given to warnings on emails before the internet service provider is forced
7:21 am
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 and 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 an aussie dollar call for you four million dollars that's what a us student gets up to close to get him in
7:22 am
a jail cell for five days love food. i have also got the latest on the rise in a way yes well not a top box of it is time spent arrested as just a click away as our. right to see. her street. and i think you're. on the record with. just days after paying another bailout loan to green bay international lenders have found out 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 over the next two years and that's bad news to german taxpayers who as part of the euro zone strongest member
7:23 am
a launch bagnall the greek rescue well she's piece one of our reports. 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 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 greece to greek people this is a one hundred million euro piece that's supposed to help the development of. small businesses in the country and not near the news that they are well almost eleven
7:24 am
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 most of their taxes are going to be going to their 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 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 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
7:25 am
shouldn't happen this report from the i am. so it goes to show that some of the more positive signs regarding greece that we've seen in recent times like the leveling off of only 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 be officially say that it's on the comeback trail when it comes to its finances. chokin economies around the world are struggling to get back on track the lesson to learn taste to get rid of big bang snoozing the world's financial system that's what kinds in states a habit explained and here's a sneak peek of the full kaiser report coming up at sixteen thirty g.m.t. . 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
7:26 am
ecosystem of one's intestines when these parasites grow to these enormous sizes whether it's a six inch long taper him 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 tape worm like jamie diamond who's lodged up to 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. and in other news in brave the case of the ousted egyptian president mohamed morsi say they now expect a massacre after choosing to ignore the ban on kyra safe hands police have been ordered to put an end to the protests with the authorities calling them a threat to national security the country remains on the brink of chaos with clashes over the weekend leaving seventeen dead.
7:27 am
and to government protesters captured a city council building in rio de janeiro last night they were rapidly just launched by police and with stun guns and take out was conscious and breaking out in the streets depression stocks and bonds in june of a hike my lap italy snowballed into a nationwide. coverage. and up next i'm a mouse in talks here save misconducts and trying to decide later in breaking the sad. 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
7:28 am
expand although the fact that our drones infrared eyes are very scary the more common street cameras are way more likely to want to average day violate your privacy and thus they invented the justice cap this tech block 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 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 invaders keep the freedom fashions coming but that's just my opinion. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something
7:29 am
else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. you live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how bad the less bad luck. i mean . i know that i've seen a really messed up. in the old story so closely. at. worst you could only. find out superman a radio guy and for a minute throw a quick. quote good news if you've never seen anything like this i'm cold.
