international news and comment this is r.t. with the twenty four hours a day live from moscow where it's now just turned ten pm. police fired tear gas to disperse pro morsy activists in car we hope to bring you an update on what is happening there in this next here on t.v. but first a new chapter is beginning for one of america's most wanted men who's funny left the moscow airport transit zone after more than a month in limbo whistleblower edward snowden is temporarily free to live and work in russia and job offers are already coming in as are. reports. now that seldon's managed to leave the transit zone of sydney to the airport this is a whole new chapter in this story but if only we knew at least approximately where he was now his location is even more secret you could add to some of you to the fact that he's the most wanted person on planet earth to do he'll be concerned

about the issue of security that includes questions of sci fi and the police or he is going to mean it's all up to him i will consult and advise him but on other issues it's up to him as permitting the press yes he's ready to meet the russian media but you need to understand you still need some time to adapt to russian realities aware of the personally accompanied snowden and so we can weeks representatives harrison outs of the airport and put them in a taxi initially it was expected that snowden was supposed to leave the airport last week but had to take time for all the necessary legal procedures that in a statement published on thursday snowden outlined how everything was done in full compliance with russian and international legislation the former n.s.a. contractor did agreed to the conditions voiced by president putin under which he could stay in russia and that is to stop harming washington's image and while concerning his latest revelations he did pass all these documents to journalists

before he arrived to show he meets with airport from another we know that snowden's looking possibly at finding a job here in russia nothing concrete at the moment but russia's largest social network has already made an offer to him as an eighty specialist in charge of the privacy and security of users. so russia's decision is made the blood of american politicians boil while the white house signaled they may cancel september's summit between russian and u.s. leaders some congressmen are hurling threats of dark consequences in moscow including possible sanctions or he's going to turn reports. together with edward snowden russia has now become the object of washington's wrath fiery remarks are coming from congress senator lindsey graham says americans in washington should consider this a game changer in our relationship with russia senator john mccain goes it is

a slap in the face of all americans we cannot allow today's action by putin to stand without serious repr cautions the white house touched upon some of those are precautions saying moscow's decision on snowden undermines the growing cooperation between russian and u.s. security services the white house spokesperson said washington is quoted extremely disappointed with moscow also this mr snowden is not a whistleblower he is accused of leaking classified information and has been charged with three fairly villany counts and he should be returned to the united states polls show the majority of americans actually disagree with the white house on whether or not mr snowden is a whistle blower they think it is but it seems the white house and some lawmakers are only happy to focus on russia because it takes the thunder away from the conversation about the surveillance state but the conversation is happening as much as the government would want to be can't put a lid on it new laws are being proposed to rein in n.s.a. surveillance last week congress killed one such bill by only twelve votes lawmakers

have indicated there will be more such proposals in response to snowden's revelations senior intelligence officials have testified in congress releasing classified documents but they wouldn't be having that conversation if it weren't for snowden from snowden we first learned about the prism program a system the n.s.a. uses to gain access to the private communications of users of nine popular internet services the government said the n.s.a. does that only with a warrant from the fights a court those are secret court orders snowden said the fisa court merely rubber sems such warrants and he revealed one such secret court order for a telecommunications company to hand over its clients data in bulk the government has acknowledged all collection of communication. but said no one can look at the content of those communications without a warrant it's known and said last they can this week the guardian well lying on the documents that snowden had earlier provided has released the details of a program that makes it possible we learned about x.

keyscore which allows to search through a vast amounts of data collected by other programs having sekret finest his career and his comfortable lifestyle snowden said he wanted to expose the government's lies in washington i'm going to check on us blogger and journalist david lindorff i spoke to madeleine he believes that america's priority is to silence potential whistle blows. it what the what we're seeing in the u.s. is a charade i mean it is the anger is i think. not so much that russia granted him the asylum as they really want to make an example of snowden to the maximum extent because they're afraid of more whistleblowers coming out because it reaches spying that's going on so the whole idea here with with him with aaron swartz and with me and with bradley manning has been to come down

like a ton of bricks on these guys and make their lives as miserable as possible so that nobody else will do the same thing. police have to guess to disperse pro morsi activists who continue to stage mass demonstrations in support of the former leader security forces earlier promise to besiege any such activities a step towards breaking them up a lot he's built true joins me with the details right now live from karachi so bold tell us just how tense is the situation there now in the capital. what is extremely tense here is of course we've had this sort of forty eight hour deadline from the interior ministry who said after two days they will erect this is a barricade around these two sit ins for the ousted leader mohamed morsy in the capital they've said this will mean that people can leave the city and then i enter

it's a kind of besieging now in the run up to this we have mass protests in support of the deposed leader across the country thirty four march. which ended up in the media production city which is in the sequel to the district of the capital resulted in clashes with security forces peachtree take asked the protesters that they have been attempting to set up a new city in apparently built barricades is managing director temps there which is why the security forces crack down on not speaking to protesters again one of the maintenance here in the capital they tell me that they will think about possibly setting up a new sit ins like this one the media city if these big cities here. nasr city and easy are cleared by security forces in the next few days it's very tense here with the heavy deployment of troops and the military and expected clashes on the horizon

when the syrian ministry takes the plunge and actually does try and evacuate these people because there are a lot of people in the streets in support of the ounce to me that there really are tens of thousands of but you know women and children who are in these sit ins and you think go in all guns blazing it will be a bloodbath so we have to see how the situation develops overnight and in the coming days. there encourage thanks very much indeed for that update. guardian newspapers published a report suggesting that britain's government communications headquarters is not only spying on its citizens but has been funded the by the us well let's check out how the spying chain works the u.k.'s g c h q pumped large amounts of money into efforts to gather personal data for mobile phones applications saying it wanted to be able to exploit any phone anywhere any time in the past five years alone the amount of data gathered from the internet of mobile traffic by the intelligence agency has create increased by more than seventy times or takes

a closer look at the role washington is playing in all of this the us government has paid at least one hundred million pounds. to the u.k. spy agency over the past three years now in return for this money they've got access to and influence over britain's intelligence gathering programs now these were allegedly top secret payments the americans expect a return on their investments in g c h q so d.t.h. who has got to work very hard to meet the n.s.a.'s demands which almost makes it sound as though that the u.k. intelligence agency is working for the n.s.a. i mean for such a prestigious agency these revelations are likely to be extremely damaging one g c h q strategy briefing that the guardian has seen says to quote that g c h q must

pull its weight and be seen to pull its weight which gives you an impression of the sort of the work ethic in g c h q and the how hard they're trying to please the americans really the guardian seen other documents that reveal that d.c. h.q. is actively pouring money into spying on personal mobile phones and applications and according to the guardian some staff that work for d.c. h.q. have expressed concern about the more reality and about the ethics behind what it is they do they are given the level of deception in their work as well apparently a number of employees have been concerned about that now the leaked paypal's also show that the u.k.'s biggest fear is that the u.s. becomes dissatisfied with the work that d.c. h.q. is doing and as a result will invest less money into the u.k. spy agency which brings us to watch a number of observers are concerned most about in this story which is just how close the relationship between g c h q and the n.s.a.

really is certainly considering the amount of money that's been poured in and just to remind you that it's over one hundred million pounds over the past three years it would seem as though the british side is almost dependent on their american counterparts. altie live from moscow it's now twelve minutes past the hour stay with us for more international news after the break. the one of the best for the world the show is strong. but it just shows. us to be able to recover his breath those it was a stroke about. choose your language. choose the consent you. choose to get to.

choose the stories to. choose. to. kill to see. her straight. and i think your. reporters. can still. be in the. continues here naughty the last british resident of the guantanamo bay detention camp. claims gods sexually assaulted prison such as revelations come as new figures

show that the facility cost nearly three million dollars a prisoner each year to keep open of these tests or syria reports. chucker armor the alaska british detainee at the guantanamo bay prison who's been on hunger strike since january against his unlawful detention the claims that he's being assaulted sometimes sexually during prison search as i am or was arrested in afghanistan in two thousand and one he's been at the prison a for eleven years without having been charged with any offense and he says he that he still faces a daily quote unquote a forced cell extractions they flip me over for the surge mostly that's just an assault sometimes a sexual assault we call it the get my message they carry me like a second potatoes which is really painful for me. this information was revealed in a declassified conversation between elmer and his lawyer in the united states this

news comes just weeks after u.k. prime minister david cameron had said that he had raised the case of amr with the us president barack obama at the g eight summit over concerns that the u.s. was trying to render armor to saudi arabia we contacted the british foreign office and this is what they said. we take any allegations of mr mistreatment seriously mr obama's case remains a high priority for the u.k. government and we continue to make clear to the u.s. that we want him released and returned to the u.k. as a matter of urgency stories of inmates at guantanamo have been coming to light especially with attention on the hunger strike that's been going on inside most of this information revealed through lawyers of the detainees a one other example for instance is more of who had described the prison as a quote unquote place without walls he said that he had suffered repeated abuse of interrogation techniques including sexual humiliation of water torture as well as sleep deprivation in response to artie's queries at the deputy joint task force

public affairs officer at one tunnel so this reply we don't comment on i need to tell me allegations made food the defense attorneys regardless of how ridiculous and absurd to the allegations might be we also contacted the u.s. state department for their comments on a shocker on my space but we have yet to hear a reply reporting from london i'm tess are cilia. from the london guantanamo campaign says these strong tactics they used to unsettle detainees. all of what's going on with the with the searches making noise during the night time these sexual abuse it's all part of seems to be part of a pattern of intimidation of the person of the detainees and part of a ploy to try and break the hunger strike so the detainees are carrying on with their hunger strike most of them in spite of all the abuses he is clearly

a sign of weakness on the part of the u.s. administration and the military guantanamo that they're having to resort to these measures to try and break the hunger strike so clearly they're feeling the heat and you know the detainee's they you know they have to decide what to do with their bodies if they want to carry on with this or not but obviously this is an act of desperation on their part to be on hunger strike for six months in some cases and they that they've got nothing to lose they've been there for eleven and a half years most of them without charge or trial and this is a desperate act on their part. has been incarcerated for eleven years without charge and his lawyer clive stafford smith says the invasive searches being done to intimidate prisoners. we have now raised it with the american courts that they shouldn't be doing this they shouldn't effectively be sexually assaulting the prisoners and it was the government i believe who first started using the term scruton search if you'll believe it the they actually admitted this sort of thing

and it's been done to try to intimidate prisoners out of talking to the lawyers so that unfortunately the truth would not come out around town a babe in arms out most of them are resisting jack has been going through this for months and months and months now and i've got a proud woman and weighed it and his response to that is when they leave him in his cell he starts singing you know both molly's songs new get up stand up be your rhythmix and the guards to show that he's not to be coward. i think that shack is standing up for his rights and the rights of other prisoners prisoners has motivated guards under orders from the more senior offices to treat very bad but actually it's not had the desired effect on us and it's made shock a stronger mentally because he recognizes that he is now at least in some parts in control of his lot so i've actually been impressed by the psychological

improvements and even note physically isn't very tough straits. just to remind you we have more stories for you on our website head there now to find out how the olympics in sochi will bring reprieve for gay rights activists in russia and peace in moscow say the new laura gets home a sexual propaganda will not be enforced during the games log on to r.t. dot com to find out activists reaction. and be careful what you google find out how an anti terrorist squad knocked on the door of a new yorker who randomly such pressure cookers and boston bombing on the internet all dealt. with an e.u. arms embargo in syria having officially expired there are concerns the block. could become further embroiled in the conflict deadline passes figures reveal up to six hundred europeans have already left their homes to fight alongside government troops dimitri bunting the father of one of those who joined jihad his forces in

a parallel economy of drugs and remain hermetic to ordinary french people these areas are dominated by immigrants from france's former african colonies and are often the scene of violent confrontations. just last month five were injured during protests over the enforcement of france's ban on full face religious veils we go to one such place. twenty kilometers from paris and indeed it has a flavor of the countries its residents came from but what native to reasons complain about most echoes what locals here denounce welcome they get the feel like we live in ghettos our kids are born here they're french citizens but they're treated like aliens the authorities have to do something if they want europe to resemble what they claim it to be french politicians frequently send mixed messages in these two thousand and eight speech french president at the time nicolas sarkozy exulted nixon ethnicities warning that racial purity could lead to the end of

of raping fifteen women. on the street in africa i saw the little kids who were raped and abused by white people when i came here i was full of anger. or why did you respond to this by doing bad things to others. i just imitated what i saw in a vicious circle violence causes more violence a month ago pregnant muslim woman lost her baby after she was attacked for wearing the he job experts say politicians could help overcome mutual hatred and intolerance but they seem uninterested in even trying. there is racism in how they treat people when a white man is abused the president denounced it but in the case of that pregnant woman we only heard from the local brief faculty and they even say maybe she lied the mere fact that we are from here allow them to doubt our words without a right idea is gaining more and more popularity now here as well as in the rest of

europe such concerns are becoming more and more serious the french war galileo outskirts comes from two words leo and old unit of the sons and long feudal lord plied in certain areas outside large cities people who live here a few dozen quantities from the heart of paris say they still feel like they're living under pujol rule under entirely different system to the city dwellers the feeling is mutual on the other side and this difference in the mindset makes the gap between these two worlds to extreme. revolution an odd thing from france. with me in the team in just over half an hour from now in the meantime the challenges faced by energy corporations are the focus of sophie shevardnadze his interview with the head of the export of russia's gazprom itself to the right.

remember we talked about clothing for regular folks like you and me that can make you invisible to 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 want to average day violate your privacy and thus they invented the justice cap this hat blocks your face with 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 should 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.
