russia and around the world this is the with me. thanks for joining us. cia contracts it turned whistleblower edward snowden should be on the head list rather a list of names recently nominated for a prize for freedom of thought that was a drug made by the n.s.a. director michael hayden but his humor was spot has sparked a way of criticism he told. he was misunderstood. well speaking at a washington post panel discussion on a cyber security former n.s.a. director general michael hayden joked about putting edward snowden on a list that has very little to do with human rights or honorable recognition america's former spy chief eg knowledge that snowden an n.s.a. whistleblower has been nominated for a human rights award and then reportedly said quote i must admit in my darker moment over the past several months i had also thought of nominating mr snowden but it was for a different list unquote some journalists including brendan sasso from the hill
6:02 am
blog have interpreted mr hayden's words to mean putting snowden on america's kill list now general hayden confirmed to me that the quote is correct but he claims that his words have been misinterpreted and he never proposed for snowden to be put on any assassination list but some would argue that this is probably the worst time for any former or current top u.s. official to even speak sarcastically about putting snowden on a list and that's because journalists jeremy scahill and glenn greenwald are currently working together on a joint investigation on how the u.s. national security agency has been involved in the wider overseas assassination program run by the obama administration now both of these journalists are known for their hard hitting investigations of the u.s. government and their collaboration will reportedly reveal how they say the vast surveillance network of the n.s.a. operates in conjunction with clandestine operations run by the u.s. military or the cia now for those who don't know the prize that snowden is

nominated for was established by the european parliament in order to acknowledge individuals or organizations who have dedicated their lives to human rights and freedom of thought reporting from new york maureen up or r.t. . despite the air and. been heard by snowden's revelations of his stay with us and feels his coalmines who are in poor taste. when you joke about killing somebody with an ax your viewed as a sociopath when you joke about killing people with a million dollar missile your considered a big powerful person who knows lots of secret stuff and so your rage is directed in particular at people who reveal that secret stuff so we've arrived at the point of putting whistleblowers and those who leak information for whatever reason on the list of enemies as if they are fighting
6:04 am
a war because they are revealing the secret information including embarrassing and humiliating information it is of course outrageous criminal and in fact sociopathic and i think the timing is the same timing of the past weeks and months in which this has become a top problem in the u.s. government the audience laughed when president obama joked about using predator drones against his daughter's boyfriends joking about war in u.s. culture is acceptable people talk seriously about new wars and people who claim to oppose it don't speak up with outrage the international monetary fund has said their lands reigning over america's debt crisis posing the world economy under threat i.m.f. chief christin the god want things will be found was that the current u.s. branches standoff if congress fails to hike its debt ceiling. every few days
6:05 am
the ongoing political uncertainty over the budget over the debt ceiling does not help the government shutdown is bad enough but phil you to raise the debt ceiling would be far worse. and could very seriously damage not only the u.s. economy but also the entire global economy. in the meantime in less than two weeks america will run out of money unless lawmakers agree to raise the debt ceiling the failure will lead to devastating effects warning from the u.s. treasury department's predicting an unprecedented default with catastrophic consequences with the collapse of the american economy sending shock waves across the globe and doing with the financial crisis and recession was the two thousand and eight meltdown. the u.s. government shutdown is taking its toll on the president's plans as well was barack obama forced to cancel a trip to asia and mr summits the federal stoppage as place hundreds of thousands

of workers on paid leave is costing the american economy at least three hundred million dollars every day hitting businesses and consumer confidence qantas leaving from the city university of new york says the crisis has been a bonding. between crisis there's a new normal in the economy and seems to be a new normal in our political system this isn't the first time that congress hasn't passed a budget by october first which was the deadline the twelve consecutive year that they failed to meet the deadline the only reason there hasn't been a shutdown for the last twelve years there's always been these temporary resolutions that the bill for a six week temporary resolution that the house speaker of the house john boehner is refusing to put before the congress for a vote right now so there is no constitutional mechanism and that suggests some sort of constitutional crisis in a time when the economy is provoking a serious conflict in the party. and the federal stoppages is fool's day now and
6:07 am
with continued squabbles in congress there are fears it will drag on for another week or two. american people's trust and they call them is plummeting according to a recent gallup poll taken only confidence has nosedived says the federal government brought its operations to a stop it fell to minus thirty two points which is the lowest rating in world and i and in his interview show politicking larry king spoke to american business magnate donald trump to get his due on the bounce and forward in the u.s. and here's a preview of the program coming up for you throughout the day here in our city. the government shutdown what should take well it's a mess larry i mean the whole country is being stuffed it in left and we're not doing well as a country as you know we will no longer be the great economic power in two thousand and sixteen as you know china will be replacing us if we keep going the way we're
6:08 am
going which looks like inevitable that's a fact the effect we passed a health care law right the supreme court upheld it right and the republicans don't want to fund it well it's a law that really has to be that's true in the law it's still your l.a. and i understand where you're coming from but it is something that's turning out to be very negative it's having a huge negative impact on business already is happening and i guess that's what is going to happen one way or the other i don't see this getting them to the end but i fully understand what the republicans are doing i really like the wall street journal it's a major mistake well out of the golden well let's see how it happens lots of strange things happen larry let's see what happens in the end but they are very committed to killing obamacare when everybody's committed obama's committed to a moment if you like commitment he's committed you would certainly think that he's not coming to end it and that's what they want so it's a tough it's a very tough situation for the country and it's somewhat embarrassing for the country. much more government must now shut down until congress
6:09 am
funds it again. and coming up here later in the progress in athens as the south wants to build up points and most can't agree congress all locals up here is trusting that already on the. painful steps. on the trunk full of gotos poured onto the ground and but this was citizens on demanding an out of all of the whole concept of what the money will tell you more than ever. mug. leg. length. lens.

being an expensive car showroom. like new clothes a new fashion show. also designed bags and shoes in the best shop windows. luxury is a school. this is the last card. constantly on our chief. this is a combined swiss citizens are demanding a crucial change in the constitution pushing for the introduction of a guaranteed income for everyone on the scene teamed up with video to follow the
6:12 am
story on a voice and burn where supporters of the basic income idea have gathered for a rally. what we're seeing here in switzerland is a completely revolutionary outlook towards the social welfare system what's being proposed by a group of swiss citizens is a guaranteed minimum income now what that would mean is that every citizen whether working in which every job all not at all would receive a set amount of money now in order to try and illustrate their point that switzerland is such a wealthy country and it has a mountain of money that can be shared out around all of its citizens what we're seeing right now happening just over to my right is. fifty tons of gold coins poured out onto the parliament square here that's four hundred thousand swiss francs worth of money that's around three hundred fifty thousand euro now this new revolutionary plan as i say is resulted in this outpouring of
6:13 am
gold coins is well it's caused some consternation is it just free money or will it result in people not even bothering to work now those behind the scheme say that it will actually encourage people to work it will encourage people to to follow their dreams they say that this will allow them allow people in the country a right to dignity you know right to choose exactly what they want to do not pressured by the pretty extreme precious of having to finance their every day lives they say that the modern world has created a situation whereby people don't work for what they enjoy they worked in order to to just pay their bills and they want to change this now when it comes to financing it well that's where it gets into the real political wrangling and if this does get beyond a referendum that's certainly something that's going to be discussed it has been put forward that perhaps taxes could be raised it's also being put forward that could be a financial transaction tax of course switzerland one of the the major banking
6:14 am
centers of the world if not the major banking center of the world also rise in v.a. t. in value added tax could be brought in. but it's a certainly a revolutionary scheme that they're looking forward to putting to parliament here and is set to change perhaps even the very way that we concept what work is this what this initiative hopes to do is make sure that switzerland huge mountains of wealth could actually become the face for all of its citizens. as in greece triangle so you make ends meet plans to build a new mosque in athens and here racing locals the money from the project is set to come from the state funds by the country already suffering continued back. from. the evening prayer one of the five daily spiritual rituals for muslims worldwide some prefer to do it at home others visit a mosque. this one looks more or less ordinary from the
6:15 am
inside but there is one detail which makes it stand out from the rest in other parts of the globe this is literally another ground mosque set up inside the garage of an apartment building things and every day muslims from nearby neighborhoods come here to pray while in total there are around one hundred twenty of similar unofficial mosques all across the city it's hard to tell the difference between an official an illegal but the makeshift facilities are the local muslim communities only choice there's simply no official mosque in athens we're talking about thousands of people that hold the great passport. to this country but not at the time of their prayer greece is among the main points of entry for migrants to the e.u. and it's estimated around three hundred thousand muslims live in athens alone. so for the first time since gaining independence from the ottoman empire in the eighteenth century greek authorities are planning to build
6:16 am
a mosque in the capital but as it turns out many of the crisis hit a traditional orthodox christian nation are not happy with the idea the mosques price tag is one million euro plans to be paid from the state budget of those this money should be given to poor people pensioners who are starving in are collecting trash on the streets so they can eat the government should give the one million euro's to these people and not build mosques for the turks will be again of an even then we have debts and then there are thousands of unemployed sick poor starving people it's like telling me to build a house without even having money to eat can this happen no it can't be clearly it's only a drop in the ocean for many greeks who once again dove into a wave of nationwide strikes against fresh austerity measures. and while the government redirects anyone happy with the mosques construction to the courts it seems that stories like this a reminder that the financial crisis isn't only about cash but it's exposing the

most sensitive social problems that for many are becoming too expensive to tolerate you got this going off r t f n's greece. and you can have a line for the best stories from our web see when clear falling from freedom states around the world are one thing down in cyberspace and bringing in sophisticated snooping technology to monitor the citizens' online activities according to one new report. while three point one billion dollars is not how much it will cost japan to get u.s. soldiers out of okinawa but only posed was instead we have the whole story and more so. in the middle of the desert landscapes of the west buying a small village has become an away says of palestinian resistance against the israeli occupation and its residents have planted flowers in hundreds of spent israeli tear gas grenades to honor those killed during their weekly

hill running a secret service vehicle on her way with police opening fire to stop the driver. the woman who was unarmed was eventually shot dead by police the child was on it and if you take a look at this mob right here you can see how the chase unfolded throughout downtown washington and starting at the white house this aspect of violence is all the way to the company so building. a police fire the chase ended almost two miles away from the white house where the driver was killed and dr mason believes officials had other ways to stop the woman through the chase. given the fact that we have an arm female the police have important say that she was on armed there was an infant in the car. there was no gun fire of any kind that came from the car at any time a lot of questions need to be. i think that there is reason to believe that the
6:21 am
police in washington d.c. way way overreacted that there are alternatives to respond to situation and short of having the court in a speeding car with a variety of ways it's gotten them the tires heavier and then they can be countered by various means they put strips in front of the vehicles so they can chew out the tires because they have these rope the things that the inside is they don't have a lot of time but all this whole situation is that the police had no evidence that she had any gun and she had not used any weapon at all she was using a vehicle that vehicle must receive attention yes of course. and not just some of the new saw around the globe suis trade union members have shown a retcon to feed staging a protest outside of the headquarters of football's main governing full day in zero eight the rally last time to time sukkot is signed with the start of

cons with his gas and call still coming your way later on r c and he's a pretty. about a hundred percent chance of the near. as been matt for all intents and purposes moving toward chemical weapons disarmament and having the president already declared he's willing to attack is is aware well ok i mean rand i mean this it was d.c. it's interesting what you say it makes it sound like success is defeat here bruce you want to jump in go right ahead i spoke to maybe two dozen members of congress after the recess who had consulted their constituents on whether we ought to initiate war against syria whether for good of chemical weapons or otherwise and it was that staggering opposition that caused the president to flinch and decide now he'd look for another alternative to avoid embarrassing defeat which had been of overwhelming in the house of representatives now the reason why this is
6:25 am
a turning point is that in no other situation since the cold war ended has the congress the american people turned so decisively in vocally against this idea of empire we intervene everywhere around the world because we have some obligation to save humanity from disaster. the world. is. in exclusive interview with the spanish channel president rafael slammed rock obama's exceptionalism and even compact he started to that's what the nazis and he is a sneak peek of what he had to say. you know i still think president obama is a good and smart man but i'm his speeches remind you of the speeches the nazis made in the run up and during the second world war they consider themselves the selected
6:26 am
supreme race such speeches and ideas pose an extreme threat yes you. see right now it's i mean melting with breaking this ad that's coming out just. you know i'm old enough to remember on reruns when gomer pyle used to cry citizen's arrest when he saw something wrong in mayberry and a new law in russia could allow our city average to do the same thing by helping to enforce law in the country this low allows citizens to protect public order by becoming volunteer workers deputy policeman and even forming people's militias
6:27 am
which will in theory prevent crime or at least allow the police to be informed more quickly and accurately of course this like any project which sounds nice on paper is all about the implementation so we'll see how these deputies and militias will work overall i think this won't have much of an effect on crime but it could have a huge impact on non-criminal bad public behavior you know i am not the bravest guy on the planet and it is hard to confront a group of five drunk guys who are just as big as you who are acting like idiots on the street but doing so with ten stone sober militiaman buddies could provide a much more convincing argument for the drunkard's this could be a big step forward for democracy when you actually have at least a scrap of power or control over the events in your neighborhood then you are sure feel like people actually have a lot of power and this could be good for the country but that's just my opinion.
6:28 am
what's up guys i'm at a martin this is breaking the set so remember the government initially justified the afghanistan war well they said it was an act of retaliation for nine eleven you know to find bin ladin take out those training camps and find them terrorists of course the war has lasted more than twelve years market the longest in u.s. history and no it isn't over just because most of the troops on the ground of left see there are still tens of thousands of military contractors on the ground and there's been absolutely zero victory in fact the us military ended up attempting to negotiate with the very same enemy it vehemently tried to annihilate that entire time but what do you know it seems afghans don't like having puppet dictators chosen for them by the us government because now an interesting figure with strong ties to the alleged mastermind behind nine eleven is running for president that's
6:29 am
right. is a former islamist warlord and was named by the nine eleven commission report as the mentor of cold lead were ahmed while twelve years later i guess we can finally say mission accomplished. the piece of lead it was terrible to say our lives very hard to take on the second of the month here a plug that never had sex with the perfect their lives let's call it was. just some. of the celebs with. lists.
