8:05 am
no one will be able to raise the muslim brotherhood from egypt's political spectrum . it seems that anything is possible egypt is obviously sliding into a very desperate condition and the future is highly uncertain and all the predictions about what's going to happen in egypt volta end up to be wrong what's clear is that egypt is a very divided society the islamists having won the last four democratic elections or elections. very popular they can't just be swept under the table it's not possible to turn the clock back to the mubarak era and that seems to be the plan at the moment for general sisi and his backers to try and go back to the kind of status quo ante before the two thousand and eleven revolution but i think if that is their plan they are dreaming because islamists in egypt are now used to being free and being able to practice their religion the way they want and it's not going
8:06 am
to be easy to deny these people. and they're also helping you keep track of the developments so now website dot com we've got a live feed of the parades and all the pictures and reaction from social media as well. let's move on now new middle east peace talks are already under intense pressure after israel approved more than two thousand new settlement homes in the west bank and east jerusalem negotiations between the israelis and palestinians are finally set to resume in jerusalem for the first time since twenty ten but the settlements issued has been around for decades the battle over ten thousand square miles of territories started back in one thousand nine hundred seventeen and that was when
8:07 am
the u.k. approved this month of a jersey a homeland in palestine decades later they are was really war ended with israel in control of most of the tab a tree the gaza strip was controlled by egypt and the west bank was occupied by jordan while jerusalem was divided and following the six day war in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israel captured the sinai peninsula from egypt and the golan heights from syria and although these really army didn't and that's the west bank from jordan it started to occupy the area after decades of fighting israel's share of the land has grown from three percent to almost eighty and this puts even more strain on the already french child peace negotiations as a point to slee of reports. today for the first time in three years israelis and palestinians will be resuming direct talks in jerusalem this follows preparatory talks that will hold a long time ago in washington but both sides are skeptical and no one is expecting
8:08 am
a breakthrough the problem is that these talks are resuming against the backdrop of an announcement by israel that it is expanding its settlement now the european union has warned that this is eagle palestinians also warning that this will cause the negotiations to collapse before they even begin they accuse the israeli government of trying to sabotage these talks and they also complain that the current israeli settlement growth is at president of levels israel has rejected this criticism it says that every peace initiative so far has proposed that the settlements affected become part of the israeli territory the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has officially said that he wants these talks to succeed but the problem is that both his government and the israeli public all spiffed over them earlier twenty six of one hundred and four palestinian prisoners that israel is releasing as a confidence measure to bolster these talks we'll see if we convicted by israel of carrying off attacks against israelis before he also holds all of the nineteen
8:09 am
ninety three israeli government said that this was a difficult but necessary stick but there has been demonstrations in this role by both white and protestors and also friends and family of israelis who were killed in attacks carried out by at least some of these prisoners you should know that the jury to help to keep the peace out eighty five point nine percent are gangs deal many people he's out here to the point you and i agree you know prime minister and government we feel betrayed because we are we trusted them as for the palestinians themselves hamas which is the leadership in gaza is not part of these negotiations and refuses to be now the palestinian president mahmoud abbas as he comes to these talks is definitely not talking with the united palestinian voice as is neither the israeli prime minister pointed to our team television. meanwhile the hamas movement
8:10 am
has slammed the talks saying israel is not committed to any does. this negotiation want to succeed like the others negotiations we've tried the negotiations for more than twenty years before what we've got is only losing our learns losing our people will continue for the killing by the israelis for our people when what they say it is not going to actually continue and that's certainly the settlement and doing whatever they want and. tell them and all the palestinian cities there is no faction is likely to go to the negotiation even some parties who belongs to the p.l.o. they refused to go into the negotiations mr mahmoud abbas doesn't represent the put a c.m. people he only represent themselves he doesn't have the right to negotiate by the name of the palestinian people while palestinians in gaza and the west bank have been celebrating the return of twenty six prisoners released early from israeli
8:11 am
jails and maybe paul murphy believes the move simply diverts attention from the reality of what israel's tactics. the release of prisoners i mean it's twenty six were released thirteen were arrested simply on on one day so hof as many as were released and it's simply it's something to give to a boss to say that the israelis are serious but the true story is told by the settlements it's the palestinians who have their lands occupied who have or are only able to access military justice in the occupied territories who face a inhumane humane and illegal blockade in gaza and the concessions here have to be made by these radio. in terms of you know laying the basis for a viable palestinian state with a capital in east jerusalem with control. rights of control over its own economy over its resources that they are ready to preconditions for a peace and they're all moves that in my opinion need to be made but he is ready

my. first trip. and i think. this is on c welcome back to new premises scandal has erupted in the u.k. after it was revealed high tech trench cannons are spying on pedestrians in london the bins placed in the city's financial district by an advertising father are able to identify and track mobile phones through
8:14 am
a wireless connection so russians have ordered this surveillance to stop and the country's data protection watchdog says eight who will investigate his point of boycott as well for us. just a been think again these nifty looking lesser bins are connected to wife i and that means that they can track the movements of each and every person walking down this street as long as they've got a smartphone that's connected to wise by now the digital stalking is all in the name of advertising simply by knowing who you are and where you're going they can alter the images on the screen here to tailor the advertisement to whoever is walking down the street in the city of london corporation have said that they also use the sun by despite technology that they've asked the company responsible for the bins to switch them off the local authority here say that schemes like this require the backing of an informed public but just how aware are all the british public of the erosion of best so-called digital privacy in the wake of the n.s.a.
8:15 am
scandal it's been revealed that it's not just come our show companies but entire governments that are spying on their citizens and just last week we found out that just telecom on the verge of phones have been secretly processing on details of their customers conversations over to intelligence agency g c h q coming into our privacy. without my knowledge it would be a cause of concern is a breach of law as a breach of confidentiality i just wouldn't have nothing to hide so i don't really care but still i don't think that. that's fair from them not telling us that to me because information to governments who are true in your twenty's citizens private information should stay private i've got nothing to hide so it doesn't matter let's have identity get along all that stuff is very much the other side is there anything in the final things i shouldn't say on the net to be honest with you must surveillance is now a reality of our everyday lives c.c.h. cuchulainn say so hoover and according to experts they screw up as much information
8:16 am
as possible online and through telephone traffic in order to school through it so there's that there'd be paying him much more information than many of it used to even put back when the boy hey i see lunde. under calls that plan to the white house has backtracked on suggestions intelligence chief james clapper will lead a probe into the n.s.a. spying scandal clapper was forced to apologize to congress for denying the n.s.a. collected information about millions of americans meanwhile the price of the fallout from this scandal is skyrocketing as also he's going to church account reports. it's very difficult to put a price on trust but in business customer trust consumer confidence is money according to the information technology and innovation foundation the n.s.a. leaks will cost us tech companies up to thirty five billion dollars in the next three years according to the cloud security alliance after the leaks ten percent of
8:17 am
two hundred seven non us companies canceled contracts with the u.s. providers also fifty six percent of non-u.s. respondents are now hesitant to work with u.s. based cloud operators this is bad news for us tech companies because cloud computing and storage is a huge expanding market a market based on trust but do companies have a choice other than to share their users private information most recently the highly encrypted email service called level bit has gone off line among its users was edward snowden lavabit claims the company is legally barred from explaining why it shut down but its owner wrote this i've been forced to make a difficult decision to become complicit in crimes against the american people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down lavabit after significant source searching i've decided to suspend operations i wish that i could
8:18 am
legally share with you the events that led to my decision i cannot all other u.s. internet services that cooperate with the n.s.a. are also legally required to keep their mouth shut but tech companies are of course not the only ones grappling with a costly trust issue the white house is doing its own damage control the president has announced that a group of quote unquote independent outside experts will review the government surveillance and intelligence gathering programs the privacy advocates do not expect that this so-called outside review could actually result in changes in the programs but one change that we can expect the. is more measures to stop future leaks and one of them could be this the director of the n.s.a. said the agency is going to cut the number of its system administrators by ninety percent less people knowing about the details of the programs less chances to have and those who do know something are strictly required to keep their mouth shut like

8:26 am
then you've been closed down by using every means possible to continue working and are open to any help when i'm sure home we could last due to various austerity measures by greece's creditors the government has been cutting jobs and reducing financing in the public sector teachers and schools including the situation is terrible is getting was. nothing gives us an. i hope that this will change soon the next. two three four use it seems that this economy our economy in greece in general is going. to hell. despite grim forecasts from economists and a downgrade of the greek economy from developes to emerging markets officials are promising an economic miracle promises which few were greeks are finding the strength to believe in with each passing day it's going off athens. and coming out please breaking the set with host and big monster he'll announce he's.
