often. when you say no to the government. they have the ability to take everything. we own of an encrypted that's used by n.s.a. leaker edward snowden tells us here about his confrontation with u.s. officials on why he was forced to shut down. or give the whistleblower bradley manning will request a presidential pardon after being sentenced to thirty five years in jail for making america's secrets public. life out of prison egypt's deposed leaker hosni mubarak is allowed to leave jail despite being convicted of complicity in the killing are tested.

international news and comment line from moscow this is the with me. thanks for joining us. also being implicated in wild why it's a veiled lens america appears now to be talking using those who help users protect themselves against the n.s.a. spying is the owner of the secure email service used by whistleblower edward snowden is looks and a cool battle with the u.s. government being forced to shut down. and here's the statement that love a big. levison made two weeks ago when he took his service offline he indicated that you are so thirsty that demanded information about his custom is or house but according to him that would amount to a crime against american peoples to do this service offline instead leveson isn't allowed to disclose many details because of ongoing court proceedings but he did

explain his decision further to my current trends that if i had continued to operate i felt like it would have put me in a ethically compromising position. in other words the service no longer would have been what i intended it to be which was a secure and private method of communication for americans so you posted a message online saying that you were in an impossible situation that either you would quote do you hear become complicit in crimes against the american people or walk away from a decade of your hard work what do you think you would have faced if you didn't shut down the service when you say no to the government. they have the ability to take everything they have the ability to take your business take your money and take your freedom and there really isn't all that much you can do about it. so i was looking at the very real possibility of. an impossible debt and

possibly being put in jail and still not being able to tell people why i was even in jail you wrote on the line that without congressional action or strong judicial precedent that you would advise people users against trusting a company that has physical ties to the us why is that all of the major providers here in the us. have provided. our government with real time access to the private information of their users and they don't really have a choice about it and they don't really have the ability to tell anybody about it. so the fact is if you trust your data to a company even if they they haven't already been approached. and been required to provide access the simple fact is they could be in the future.

from other email providers the n.s.a. collected fifty six thousand messages annually over three years and according to declassified documents not of them had anything to do with terror threats go to dot com to find out more about what the security agency revealed about itself. and also the council of europe meanwhile isn't happy with the british government for destroying the guardian's hard drives containing leagues and i say data will tell you why on the dot com. whistleblower bradley manning's defense will file every quest to the u.s. president to have the former army private pardoned mani has been sentenced to thirty five years behind bars for disclosing the biggest amount of classified data in american history prosecutors wanted a sixty year jail term to discourage any potential whistle blows in the future

she's going to check on details from washington probably manning has received a prison sentence that was ten years longer than the period of time after which many of the documents you released would have been automatically be classified privily manning and his the friends are submitting a request for a pardon the president of united states has the power to pardon him and you see many people here wearing t. shirts and carrying a banner that say part in bradley in his request for the president's pardon bradley manning talked about the post nine eleven age the age of the war on terror saying in the efforts to meet the risks the u.s. has forgotten its humanity but. outweigh the desire of the government to make an example out of bradley manning to discourage future whistleblowers bradley manning also has supporters who were somewhat relieved by the sentence at least he is not going to spend the rest of his life in prison as prosecutors wanted these lawyers said in ten years bradley manning will get

a chance to be released on parole there is hardly any chance president obama will pardon him really especially in the current environment of the government's crackdown on whistleblowers and environment where you have the new whistleblower edward snowden someone who was not discouraged by the crackdown so the government definitely doesn't want more people following suit as far as public support is concerned bradley manning has probably gained more support in the wake of edward snowden revelations more and more people are starting to realize that the government will always be trying to sweep controversial issues under the u.s. may have never left iraq could be iraqi government granting them immunity from prosecution that's something that the obama administration was trying to negotiate around the same time bradley manning leaked all those opening files president obama would have not announced a review of n.s.a. surveillance programs if it weren't for edward snowden is that whether or not that review is just a symbolic gesture is a question worth asking of course but still we wouldn't be even having those

conversations if it weren't for the leaks and the supporters of bradley manning saying what's at stake here is not just manning future but also the future of journalism and the public's right to be informed on the actions that their government is taking on their behalf in washington i'm going to check out mining could be released on parole but then in twenty twenty one accidents across the globe continue to hold demonstrations in support of the whistleblower campaign a piece of touch sees no justice in this said five year prison sentence. it is quite extraordinary that bradley manning has got thirty five years for telling the truth and exposing us war crimes lies and cover ups while the people who committed these criminal acts have walked away scot free they have never ever been prosecuted it is a notable fact that president obama has how often chased and prosecuted more

whistle blows but even right wing republicans like richard nixon and ronald reagan is a pretty damning indictment of president obama and his democratic administration whistleblowers are not criminals they are the canaries in the mine who warned us about danger they warned us about untruths about reality that people in power don't want us to know whistleblowers are central to them. as always i want to know what to think about this story on r.t. dot com where asking what effect bradley manning sentence could have let's not have a look how you've been voting so far and the majority say whistleblowers will not be scared away about sixteen percent of you believe the sentence will spark a major backlash and lead to even more leaks and the less say a public outcry could lead to the sentence being reduced while not so many of you

believe manning's example will stop others from blowing the whistle so have your say r.t. dot com and take part in our lives. and also bradley manning meanwhile want to be known as chelsea manning and live as a woman for the rest of his life and after you cast your vote check out how the internet is reacting to bradley manning's desire for a new identity and we're monitoring the social media that money created on r.t. dot com for you. right. to see. her struggle. and i would think that you're. on our reporters. and i. could be in the middle.

he was still full during the arab spring and he's facing life in prison for allegedly ordering the killing of hundreds of protesters but egypt's former leader hosni mubarak could be freed from prison later today have a back in court on sunday but will now be preparing for those proceedings while under house arrest. explains the decision to release them behind. century the clock is being turned right back to two thousand and eleven before he started any of these trials so it's almost like he'd never been sentenced in the first place because he's already been in detention for several years now can't keep him in there before he's actually sentenced now he has been in jail obviously because there been other charges against him knew of charges in regards to corruption now that he's been acquitted if there's no reason to keep him in jail however he still have forty eight hours max for the prosecutor to basically appeal the decision to release him if they decide that he should be released and he will remain in jail

almost see you know how long though keep him as the trial goes forward the reaction in the streets has been right largely mixed people here a kind of reeling from the situation in the last few days basically when the bloodiest weeks in egyptian modern history in the fighting between mostly supporters and security forces who will get by that the front of hosni mubarak could be free to the same time is almost too much for some revolutionaries here who's speaking to me have told me that what was the point of coming out the streets two years ago what has been the point of fighting for justice and freedom and bread in the last two and a half years is the very person they started by to get is to be walking free we will see what happens as his trial is start to restart again on the twenty fifth of august at the same time as many other leading muslim brotherhood figures will also stand trial somewhat ironic that these two that figure is it because it basically to be facing trial at the same time but largely on the streets people are pretty upset that this much hated figure could be seen to be walking home the forces of egypt's military backed interim leadership are involved in almost constant clashes

with supporters of ousted president morsi. winning journalist at high term me as the current situation is so bad that news of mubarak's renie's has faded into the bank around. you have the president the democratically elected president in jail but i don't know there is a case against him and more but it's going to be released it's a kind of everything's been flipped over the news of his possible release was just a kind of cherry on top for everyone so much has happened so many people have died that mubarak has faded into the background a little for a lot of people when you think that it's been tried before which is the death of the protesters in eighteen days and then you compare the fact that a greater number protesters died in one day last week kind of puts things in perspective for a lot of egyptians. still ahead they say our. contract means zero guarantees of a million brits phase being met him as despite having jobs as phones use the economic crisis as an excuse to employ people with no promise of pay.

footage is enough evidence but most no country can even confirm the information about the victims. is following the allegations which have drawn the attention of the us. deputy secretary general john ellison was also on hand the closed door security council consultations he said that there is no confirmation of the use of chemical weapons and he says that this needs to be underlined meanwhile britain's foreign minister william hague said that the alleged attacks should be an eye opener for all those who support assad his comments leave no options open to the fact that an opposition or terrorist group who would be responsible for the allegedly use of chemical weapons now it may be no coincidence that the syrian opposition is making these allegations latest allegations against the syrian government just a few days after a team of u.n. inspectors arrived in damascus to examine previous suspected cases of chemical

weapon use in the war torn country meanwhile officials from the russian foreign ministry say that reports quote biased regional media unquote about the alleged chemical weapon use near damascus might be a provocation planned in advance russian foreign ministry citing its sources said that a homemade rocket carrying unidentified chemical substances may have been launched from an area controlled by the opposition now the incident reportedly took place on territory surrounding the syrian capital although the region on the outskirts of damascus is known for its opposition inclinations and has been the site of past clashes between government forces and the rebels experts say an al qaeda affiliate has had a long time presence there and the area has faced sustained military pressure for months. your inspections already have permission to access the science of previous

chemical attacks to expand their mandate and investigate wednesday's assault they'll have to get new approval from the syrian government and as anti will and civil right back explains the timing on that suggest it's highly unlikely assad is behind it completely root ludicrous that the syrian government would. become a full weapons at the very moment that the un is a launching its investigation about chemical weapons and especially since the syrian government has its advantage but none of it matters what really matters is what the intention is of the white house in their or their friends in london in terms of escalating their own intervention i think the big goal of the of those who carry out the stage provocation is to disrupt any sort of negotiations that could lead to a positive outcome for the existing syrian government meaning the forces of the civil war had not succeeded in this lodging the assad government that's their plan because they know without western intervention without escalated foreign

intervention there is no possible way they can succeed on the syrian battlefield they don't have the popular support in syria and they don't have the military where with all to defeat the syrian government. if you missed something on screen a mouse click we'll take you to our website and here's what we have there for you today a huge blaze was destroyed hundreds of hectares of spain's island of my your house falls dozens to fleet force this fire breathing footage on our in motion page. charcoal russian style holidays just imagine relaxing and sunbathing on the sand in russia's western city of kaliningrad on this feed over of a craft decided to hit the beach too so we're all about surprises as i ask you to slash city. desperate for any kind of job low paid workers in the u.k. are being called in the crop and what's become known as zero hour contract. looks

at a wild what employment doesn't mean there's any walk or any money if you have a job but you don't know when you'll work or if you'll be paid that's the reality for a million brits employed on zero hours contracts donald says admitted that it employs ninety percent of its u.k. workforce in this way stuff are expected to be ready for work in the mornings in case there's some and by their bosses they also have the right to refuse shifts crucially though there's no guaranteed minimum set of working hours per week hence the zero in the title of this man in his twenty's is almost zero hours contract with a well known restaurant chain every morning he waits for the call telling him whether or not he'll have work you've got really in charge of your own destiny as it were while you're while you're working there to be able to say well we're not to make that much profit this week so actually we're trying to do as minimum stuff as we

can you guys can all be cut and we'll just do one three stuff this week is completely and for the government have promised to investigate the controversial employment amidst concerns that leaving an increasing number of brits in financial limb. bo with few rights low pay and no stability or no guarantee of other jobs i wasn't making enough money to pay the rent was falling behind the number of zero hours contracts has shot up during the recession some economists forecasts that employers will return to hiring workers on better terms when the economy recovers the trade unions buying it in recent months and years we have started to see a growth of say aroused contracts particular months public sector workers no longer are these small groups of workers who are employed on temporary casual employment now in some sites is this type of abusive employment lation ship is becoming the norm macdonald sports direct domino's and even buckingham palace are zero hours employers they've been accused of exploiting people desperate for any kind of work

is part of the race to the bottom to drive down the terms and conditions the pay of all working people fortunately big business is using the us there in measures and the government economic crisis as an excuse to use these contracts but business representatives say that the financial crisis is forcing companies to use zero hours contracts so those people who criticize your hours contracts have got to recognise the impact that that would have on unemployment levels it's actually the flexibility that. wasn't available to employers i don't think it would be acting is the kind of employment stabilizer we're seeing it work out but terms of these contracts may see the bosses but many of the young people on them say that while they're on zero hours they've got zero chance of any financial stability. no i think they should so i think they should shouldn't think stream then they are because it was it doesn't happen that you don't. you can sort of expect that at

protest springing up as around a thousand marijuana plants were added to the leafy city this autonomous group wanted to raise awareness and to get publicity for their cause which was legalization of marijuana and they just wanted people to stumble over the plants was just something that you would find on your way to work or on your way across town despite an active program of weeding out the weed by authorities it isn't hard to find a spot where the surreptitious seeds have sprouted. in fact what we can find here is that very plant and you can find them in all sorts of random places like this one those behind the planting who call themselves a few autonomous flower children also held an online photo contest to gather pictures of the best birds which the police told me is very handy when it comes to

tracking down the pesky plants. we first got wind of it when someone saw this online contest this is a very big and a very green city the best way for us to find them was to look for landmarks in the pictures many have passed off this stunt is a bit of student high jinks towards the end of the academic year however this could be the start of something far bigger say those in the legal profession i think that this. is an act of civil disobedience should be a starting point for a much wider discussion on legalizing all kinds of drugs are not doing it i am not . made up my mind to it but we should have this discussion supporters of the activists believe that used responsibly cannabis could be far less dangerous than things like alcohol and tobacco many people think that you can actually consume it . and assume as you have that

a responsible approach towards consumption then it should not be a problem to legalize that supplying the drug carries a prison sentence in germany so far no one connected with the raising of this crop has faced any legal action due to the your ability of the plant meaning it can grow just about anywhere don't expect these pots pioneers to give up their campaign any time soon peter all of their arty get in germany. now the war lords of money and a global bank many people ation in the latest edition of the kaiser report. they say geo politics is a lot like a schoolyard and while obama snubbing

a meeting with the president of russia to in theory punish him for the stone incident sounds kind of amateur that is the kind of stuff the girl you did when you're sixteen would do cancel a date just to show you how much her feelings are hurt let's not mistake this cancelled meeting with cutting off diplomatic relations which is the total rejection of any form of discussion with another country which really sent a bold and possibly dangerous political message but obama did was more like a minor annoyance he knows that he will talk to putin again in the near future i mean how are they not going to talk in the next g. eight summit what is he just going to have to hide behind merkel the whole time and hope it works out or ducked behind the shrimp cocktail whatever here's a russian accent one could argue that to appease republicans he had to do something to look strong after the stone debacle but this grandstanding just comes across as silly passing something like a new jackson varick amendment yeah that is how you could shows people that you're really mad even if your anger is irrational because stone pretty much did the right thing 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 else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom parker is a big fish. welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser you know an eight hundred ninety congress passed the sherman antitrust act at first of course those modest at the supreme court refused to enforce the law always siding with the monopolist unless it was to break

up a union but then in one thousand to two teddy the trust buster roosevelt went after john pierpont morgan j.p. morgan who controlled the bulk of the railroad shipping across the northern united states to his northern securities of course j.p. morgan was raised that he had not been warned that given a heads up for being treated like a common criminal today j.p. morgan is still around it be laving rating it monopolizing but we have a trust enabler in chief no trust busting trust enabler trust enabler stacy that's right j.p. morgan was of course outraged that he was treated like a common criminal of course nowadays it's impossible to treat them like a criminal no matter what they do whether they're reading energy markets whether they're bribing chinese officials whether they're wreaking all sorts of markets across the world so we're going to look at this.
