11:06 am
at the make a makeshift field hospital they produced a report saying at least two thousand two hundred bodies are there they only quit other than to five three hundred but because there are thousands of people injured the estimation of the people injured is around ten thousand people injured the protest has been true has mentioned the protest has spread all over egypt what's happening now is much bigger than the muslim brotherhood is much bigger than the president morsi it's about egypt it's about free egypt it's about the democracy it's about the human rights in egypt we're seeing that or turn of a military state or turn of. emergency law which which has only been used to violate our human rights as free egyptians today from your camera i would like to urge the international community not to stand silent in front of this rubbish and in front of the few mass can make that is happening in twenty thirty in the silence of the international community and this five planes that the military crew is now

being bonded by a massacre dr saeed soundtrack a political sociologist at the american university in cairo things the action being taken by the security forces is justified. the strategy of the muslim brotherhood was to control and the stop the lies scare you will by controlling that traffic by controlling some districts and even try to expand them they also try to use flash mob to beseech some ministries like us so they do try to beseech seven ministries and cause a. troubling traffic because of you saw the egyptian government you know after taking all the mandates and we did enough this started acting. full immediately both the human rights organisation to see how things being done the egyptians didn't want to wait until you know the country is destroyed after four years of his rule and then the whole world would believe the egyptians why didn't
11:08 am
you act and stop and put an end to this president who is destroying your country and you waited until four years democracy doesn't mean you will give a carte blanche to the ruler to do whatever he pleases. you are also helping you keep track of the developments on our website on t. dot com got a live feed of the come praise and all the pictures and reaction from social media as well that. israeli jets have carried out an ass trike on the gaza strip just hours ahead of a much anticipated resumption of peace talks with the palestinians because asians have been in deadlock since twenty ten and with israel recently announcing plans for more than two thousand new settlement homes in the west bank and east jerusalem the already fragile looking talks are under ever greater pressure.
11:09 am
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 fortnight ago in washington but both sides are skeptical and no one is expecting a breakthrough the problem is that these talks are resuming against the backdrop of an announcement by israel that it is expanding its system and the european union has warned that this is the 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 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
11:10 am
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 out attacks against israelis before he also holds all nine hundred ninety three israeli government said that this was a difficult but necessary stick but there have been demonstrations in this role by both whites from protesters and this with friends and family of israelis who were killed in attacks carried out by at least some of these prisoners you should know that it's majority help to keep the peace out eighty five point nine percent are gangs deal many people here and he's out here to the point you and i agree. 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
11:11 am
negotiations and refuses to be now the palestinian president mahmoud abbas as he comes to these talks is definitely not talking with you nine to palestinian voice as is neither the israeli prime minister. on team television. meanwhile the hamas movement has slammed the talks a israel is not committed to any dialogue that this negotiation want to succeed like the other negotiations we've tried the negotiations for more than twenty years before what we got there is only losing our learns losing our people will continue for the killing by the israelis for our people when what the israelis are going to actually continue in the settlement settlement and doing whatever they want and. tell them and all the palestinian cities there is no faction is agree to go to the negotiation even some parties who belongs to the p.l.o. they refused to go into the negotiations and some of the bus doesn't represent the
11:12 am
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 reset of twenty six prisoners released from israeli jails and the people murphy believes the move simply diverts attention from the reality of israel's tactics. the release of prisoners i mean it's twenty six were released thirteen were arrested simply on one day so as many as were released and it's simply it's something to give to abbas 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. that the concessions here have to be made by these radius tabish meant in terms of you know laying the basis for
11:13 am
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 establishment side and coming up right after the break leaving the dangers but not . these nations but as the blocks not formally out of recession which explain to me why there's still a long way to go before people can breathe i complete sigh of relief just. told you my language as well but i will only react to situations. read the reports . and know i will leave them to the states to comment on your.
11:14 am

11:15 am
this is also you all combine a new prius a scandal has erupted in the u.k. after it was revealed high top tranche carriers are spying on pedestrians in london the bill is placed in the city's financial district by an advertising file are able to identify and track mobile phones through a wireless connection authorities have ordered they said violence to stop and the country's data protection washed ochs as it will investigate his point of boycott as well. just a ben think again these nifty looking lesser bins are connected so why five 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 so why fine 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
11:16 am
use the sun by despite technology that they've asked the company responsible for the bins to switch them off to local authorities here say that schemes like this require the backing of an informed public but just how aware are all of the british public and the erosion of best so-called digital privacy in the wake of the n.s.a. scandal it's been revealed that it's not just camacho companies but entire governments that are spying on their citizens and just last week we found out that just telecom on the boat a phone had been secretly processing on details of their customers conversations over to intelligence agency g c h q coming into my privacy. my knowledge it would be a cause of concern is a breach of law is 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 you governments who are truly in your twenty's citizens
11:17 am
private information should stay private i've got nothing to hide so it doesn't matter. all that stuff is very much the other side is there anything in the final things i shouldn't do. to be honest with you must surveillance is now a reality of our everyday lives c.c.h. to call it day so hoovering according to experts they screw up as much information as possible online and through telephone traffic in order to school through it so there's that there'd be paying him much. information in many of you said even back when the boy. and let's not get some reaction from former m i six agent harry ferguson in london mr ferguson welcome to r.t. so you just heard that report by polly boyko the advertising for advertising firm i should say we knew you first tested this technology in london in may did that turn any heads than. i do believe there were
11:18 am
two other of these advertising gimmicks in recent years bluetooth access to phones and other so-called gimmicks or give advertising agencies quite a lot of leeway to interfere in your life so this was a new twist but i think it wasn't totally unexpected that somebody would try this sort of thing. but some would of course argue that british officials are over reacting in the wake of the n.s.a. spy scandal but do you thing the fun could actually pass this information on to everyone else. so i do think you could pass it on be the agency defer that to develop this this surveillance tactics. well of course this is always the danger that your personal data is leaked to one that it will be passed on further and we already know that a lot of the major companies google and so forth that data gets shared far more
11:19 am
widely than one would expect and i think it's just another reminder to everybody to draw and guard your privacy as best you can. also begs the question could there be any other surveillance programs seemingly in disguise or do you think. well of course revealed that there are many programs in fact prying on people's digital security and the lesson is that although he exposed the role of the n.s.a. . in britain they should also be aware that other countries are also spying on their privacy i went to a conference just recently which concerned. broad and in particular circuit boards in this case some of come from china and when they were examined closely it was found that they had extra circuits on that nobody could explain and when the chinese firm was asked what were these circuits on this particular board which would go into these computers the chinese simply said we can't tell you it's commercial confidence please send them straight back so i think we've got to be careful of everybody our own governments and foreign governments as well and now
11:20 am
across the atlantic the white house has backtracked on suggestions intelligence chief james clapper will lead a probe into the n.s.a. spy scandal can we expect this investigation to be independent and transparent. i think there's a great danger that it won't be i think we need to look very carefully at the constitution of that investigation. and finally whistleblowers like edward snowden and bradley manning manning are considered traitors by their governments but how much damage have they actually done to national security that. well they cause a great deal of embarrassment but the amount of damage is much harder to quantify as any reader of a good spy novel will know what can cause damage in an intelligence area to an operational whatever cannot be a tiny little clue which leads other people to investigate and discover much more i
11:21 am
think the interesting thing about these guys who are labeled as traitors so in the case of snowden snowden is certainly broken the oath that we all take as intelligence officers to guard the secrets we've given but in his case he's revealed such a seismic change in the way intelligence services operate that i think he has a tremendous amount of mitigation to cover the actions that he's done i think the case of bradley manning is slightly different because he simply downloaded masses of information and dumped it on the internet and his case maybe mental health issues involved but i think snowden has a much greater claim to be a defender of our freedoms. c.r.i. and to live from london that was former m i six agent harry ferguson mr fox and thank you very much. for more evidence that privacy is becoming a relic of the past it's presented to you online legal advice from google has surfaced warning mail users should never expect their communications to be kept
11:22 am
secret said deeper on that at r.t. dot com. and our you tube channel you'll find a massive sinkhole which is following all the building and leaving it buried and check out the full details like. the used to fix agency says the block is now formally out of recession hopes are high but herald a long awaited return to regular economic growth and the end of the financial crisis you have been numbers are current rashawn is for the likes of greece and spain and earlier we discussed this would be host of his new business show venture capital katie you'll be. all about germany and france we've actually got growth in terms of their economy and it's positive at no point seven percent the germany not one five percent for france and it's just building the momentum finally i'm not here with bad news here so good news for germany and france but what about the rest
11:23 am
of europe and all the rest of the zone the euro zone growth not point three percent so again we've got guys i know that doesn't sound particularly sizing certainly not party season at all but when you consider they've endured six quarters of contraction is a positive but the concern is with the other peripheral southern countries that a further entrenched in debt it is going to take longer for those countries to crawl themselves out of recession which mean at the moment i'm thinking about space greece in particular it's the unemployment rate that is the real problem still stubbornly over twenty percent in europe as a whole twenty six million people still looking for work so at the moment the date is positive a long way to go on day. meanwhile the greek government is trying to save some money when it comes to caring for the country's true more than a hundred state funded elementary schools and kindergartens are due to close this summer bringing the total number of educational facilities shot since twenty eleven

11:25 am
these people go through every day you have to be in their shoes but what's clear for many kindergartens like this one are the only chance for their children to have more or less decent lives but since they're financed by the greek state they're now under threat of being shut down. open since one thousand garden has helped thousands of families throughout the years but because of a lack of financing for the past twelve months its staff have been working for free and it won't be long before what little funds they have dry up completely. we're facing severe and multiple problems and i now and then you've been closed down we're using every means possible to continue working and are open to any help when i'm sure how long we could last due to various austerity measures by greece's creditors the government has been cutting jobs and we do think financing in the public sector teachers and schools included the situation is terrible is getting
