11:09 am
it's kind. of. explain. it all started with spain saying that it really wants to protect its interests mainly fishing interests as this whole spat this whole story was sparked by building an artificial reef which spain claims is destroying fishing in the area and therefore it had imposed the border checks on those going to one from a gibraltar a british held territory and therefore causing a lot of delays and right now the rhetoric is escalating between britain and spain over the matter britain is threatening e.u. legal action over spain see what it says it's a politically motivated move and london mayor boris johnson actually said that it is quote unquote tantamount to a blockade even used particularly harsh words saying quote i hope one way or another we will shortly prior spanish hands off the throat of our colony end quote and also like and be actions of the spanish government to the franco park the time

a vital and to tara tool is not strong enough when it comes to snooping on the brakes group members which present as part of so says japanese columnist every train on. the surveillance was targeting economic interests business interests this adds an entirely new dimension to this story because as we all know brazil is one of the world's leading emerging economies in the united states and the ruling class in the united states that is tremendously fearful of the rising economic power of the brics grouping it is not just a formality that we use this term it represents a shift in the global economic balance of power and the united states knowing that its economic power is waning is using alternative means to exercise his gemini and project its own power and the surveillance that the n.s.a. operates within other agencies as well that is a fundamental part of that whether it gives the united states an upper hand in
11:18 am
negotiations whether it allows them to use blackmail and other forms of leverage all of this is part of the the eternal kid if you will of u.s. imperialism in latin american around the world. to secretary kerry justifying suburbans in latin america to be part of once again sticking it to call pride in forces in celebration of its staff anniversary of the flagship pirate website has released a modified browser intended to second band censorship and speaking to r.c. the lido sweden's pirate party commented on the science extraordinary voyage and gave her thoughts on that debate and it is actually quite amazing that the part of still alive i mean it's been around for ten years and ten years is an eternity in internet time and it's also a site that has been persecuted by a lot of corporate industry companies especially from from america from hollywood and but also music industry but i think also that the copyright industry will have a really really hard time trying to close them down even in the future at the core

your party focuses on no free flow information how does a lens figure in your party is thinking the right to personal integrity is incredibly important important for the pirate party and it's also very closely linked to file sharing because if you want to stop file sharing someone somewhere needs to know everything that you send and receive with our computers. you all know what we do with computers today i mean we work over the internet we data over the internet we buy you things we communicate with our friends so to have someone monitoring everything that you do online is so huge integrity infringement and it's a problem that the whole world has to be because it's it's not something that only american citizens are targeted with it's something that everybody who uses the internet is potentially targeted with. with the persistence of the sochi winter olympics will not be discriminated against as a result of russia's new law against homosexual propaganda to mine is the country's
11:20 am
interior ministry has dismissed any claims to the contrary as far fetched and baseless this follows away with protests against the new law by western communities there's a confidence looks now at what's causing all the reaction. the international reaction as well as domestic here reaction here in russia has really been hinged on what the law does and doesn't do and there's been a lot of misconceptions about it so let's really break it down now the bill criminalizes the public expression of support for so-called nontraditional relationships russian lawmakers say that it doesn't outlaw homosexuality it merely discourages the discussion of it among people younger than eighty and now the law doesn't outlaw gay sex which was actually legalized in russia back in one thousand nine hundred three it also doesn't explicitly ban the participation in gay pride parades the problem however is that the defendant and of propaganda is rather vague and it's based on intent so anyone who distributes information for example with the
11:21 am
intention of persuading minors that nontraditional sexual relationships are attractive could be accused of breaking this law any individuals or organizations who are accused convicted of violating it face fines foreign citizens could potentially face up to fifteen days in prison deportation and denial of the entry into russia now will most activist believe that this law will not to be widely enforced there is concern that it effectively gives some local governments carte blanche to say to ban gay pride parades and to discourage people from discussing lesbian gay bisexual issues on the internet so that's the worry the thing to keep in mind however is that russian society is very traditional and conservative and there is in fact a lot of support for this legislation here domestically the independent center of polling center here in russia have actually found that seventy three percent of respondents support any government efforts to curb homosexual propaganda in fact at
11:22 am
least to texas haven't really changed over the years it also found that four out of five russians say that they don't have a single lesbian or gay acquaintance so that is why there's been such a difference in for example the western and. international reaction versus the reaction right here in russia that's a perfect opportunity to sort of make political statements for whatever issue that comes up this is the the main sort of social hot button issue that's been raised internationally originally the law had sparked a boycott of russian vodka and gave them bars across north america and elsewhere with people dumping a box in front of russian embassies eventually the calls moved on to boycott the twenty fourteen winter olympics in sochi and one of the prominent british actor stephen fry of course raised intense controversy when he wrote an open letter to the prime minister david cameron as well as the international olympic committee suggesting calling for a boycott suggesting fact that there should be
11:23 am
a boycott of the cames even comparing them to the games held in berlin in one thousand and thirty six of course that was in nazi germany but we should also states that most officials including u.s. president barack obama had said that the boycott is unnecessary and that these games should continue to be attended by the athletes now here in russia the russians force minister said that foreign athletes will be expected to respect the laws of the country but the head of russia's the olympic committee alexander also spoke out on this issue he said that russia will do its best to effectively keep the guests on the participants safe and comfortable that very mixed reaction internationally but russian officials are trying to encourage athletes to to feel comfortable and to of course participate in these upcoming sochi winter olympic games. initially on the outskirts of syria's civil war kurds now find themselves caught right in the middle reports suggest al qaeda linked to heart it have
11:24 am
slaughtered more than four hundred fifty kurdish civilians including women and children and are believed to be holding many more hostage if confirmed kurdish leaders in iraq say they are ready to intervene human rights activist as he says the militants want access to natural resources there these groups so you can start going to islamic states they supposed to engulf the bill coil rich areas of kurds. they said they are supported very world by talking so there are two factors one of them is that these groups want to establish their or islamic state many islamic state which is a project to establish a huge islamic state. to syria and iraq now they see that kurds are facing them all the kurds is a challenge to them the other factor is the turkey is pushing this groups against kurds because turkey is not happy there. are willing go to try to establish their

own internal me in the region and the kurdish region northern syria china is likely to overtake the us has the world's largest crude oil importer this year according to a report by the energy information association with millions of drivers thirsty for petrol and growing industrial production beijing's liquid fuel imports are forecast to rise to over six million barrels per day on his cage appeal day and has more now on the market reaction. well investors really it's a sigh of relief that we seen we had a metals rally on our hands at one point and it's not just oil that's making its way to china in record amounts but soybeans i and as well but the oil really demonstrates a change in dynamics is a global shift the u.s. has been the top of consumers it's the early ninety's father china is growing they need the oil for that they need it for their cars for their factories for the infrastructure but really aligned with this is what's going on in the u.s.
11:26 am
domestically the shale gas boom they're far more self-sufficient than ever before the people that are set to benefit a rock especially that's where the most oil goes to more than half actually comes from iraq and the middle east in general but russia is also going to want to listen into this we know that russia wants to tap in being neighbors into this market just make china more attractive estate and really but as well as that it's not just about economics is about politics as well with the oil market because it is such a to mulches region the oil producing countries and the maybe pressure on china now to be more vocal in what's going on there the u.s. perhaps more or less inclined less motivated to be so going forward talking about responsibility also the emissions carbon emissions we know china isn't exactly admired for the eco ethe also be interesting to see if they follow in the footsteps of the likes of europe japan who are more conscious in this department or follow in their predecessor the u.s.

and gas girls a lot. coming up next aids breaking the set with. the u.s. government project errol marty has been in place for twenty years this project was designed to break the media monopoly of cuban television by putting u.s. government propaganda on t.v. screens this injection of american t.v. works with a blimp and a c one thirty military plane working in tandem you know this would actually be a major achievement in the history of technology if it actually worked this program which over the years has built up a billion taxpayer dollars simply does not work but continues to exist despite the cuban government completely blocking the transmission the official logic of
11:28 am
continuing the program is that it would send a bad message to the cuban government if they stopped brilliance and action but the big question is who gives the u.s. government the right to propagandize cubans just because they have a different lifestyle doesn't mean it is wrong and the u.s. government does has the right to destroy it and even if cubans on mass actually do hate their system then it is their job to change cuba not the military industrial complex and its cronies in washington but that's just my opinion. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous. i mean. i guess i just really messed up. really so most of the. worst for the. white house of
11:29 am
a day or. i want. to give you never seen anything like this. let up guys i'm having martin and this is breaking the set you know you'd think that with all the uproar over the n.s.a. leaks we would be hearing at least some type of reassurance that war of the spine would be scaled back you know obama has told the public that he wants more oversight me agency's data collection program very few people are taking him at his word and one of those skeptics is former n.s.a. and cia director michael hayden who had this to say on face the nation. president is trying to take some steps to make the american people more comfortable about what it is we're doing that's going to be hard because frankly bob some steps to make them.
