all the media and has been lying to people deliberately. damage limitation in the us web giant's push for greater transparency amid grim full carts for america's abase tech firms after the national security agency's spy scandal. the decision of america's multitrillion dollar debt ceiling raises fears for the world economy while the government cuts back on space missions to save itself from default. and switzerland to such a varied on guaranteed a monthly handout with thousands of dollars in a pilot scheme to provide citizens with a lifetime of financial security. life

from moscow you watching r t you with me on new day it's good to have you company with us let's take a look at the top story. living in the u.s. a tech companies are seeking to undo the damage from the n.s.a. scandal that revealed their part in government spying programs the internet giants are asking the federal court to let them reveal details about the agency's data requests a move that's been misled by the justice department arches lose again for nothing said what could have prompted this wide for transparency. in the wake of the u.s. national security agency scandal much of the tech industry has been critical of government snooping some companies named as partners in the n.s.a.'s prism program including google and facebook even sued the u.s. in order to set the record straight they're hoping to fight the perception that the n.s.a. has direct access to their servers but transparency might come with financial incentives the snowden leaks prompted dire warnings from internet giants predicting that

american businesses would lose tens of billions of dollars in revenue abroad as scared users turn to local alternatives one industry nonprofit survey found that ten percent of two hundred seven officials at non american companies canceled contracts in the wake of the leaks fifty six percent of non-u.s. respondents said they were hesitant to work with u.s. based cloud computing firms some researchers even predicted the cloud computing industry as a whole could lose up to one hundred billion dollars by twenty sixteen but so far none of that has panned out in fact some of the internet giants who helped the n.s.a. gather data on people overseas say privately they felt little if any impact on their business and when it comes to internet empires some of those very same firms dominate the internet traffic across the globe. google and facebook rule most of the world that's according to a new survey from oxford university as this map shows the only major countries not under their sway are china and russia also kazakhstan korea and japan here local

providers have managed to maintain their domination of the market and there's a number of theories as to why one is that cloud customers have few good alternatives american firms have most of the market and switching costs money another reason is that tech buying companies elsewhere believe their own governments have scanning procedures that are every bit as invasive as the american programs and so despite the spying revelations it seems to be business as usual for the tech giants who worked with the n.s.a. reporting from moscow i'm lucy catherine of r.t.e. . they mail service used by n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden was shut down by its owner after he repeatedly defied f.b.i. requests for encryption keys details recently revealed by u.s. court cases just investigators were apparently trying to track snowden's communications the founder of i love a bit later leveson told r.t. why he chose to close the service run cooperate with a fourteenth. i took the stance that i did not try and protect

a single person but because i was concerned about the invasion and the sacrificing of everyone's privacy rights that was accessing my system i know they threatened me on more than one occasion with jail i think the only reason they didn't do it is because if they had the service would have eventually shut down on its own with nobody to maintain it and the only reason they didn't arrest me after the shutdown was because of the media the public but it's pretty scary to to think about what lengths they're willing to go to conduct these investigations and you know effectively what's going on is just completely undermining what little trust there was in commercial technology products here in the u.s. google yahoo facebook they've been fighting requests via the pfizer court they've been fighting requests like the ones that i received. the fact is they've been

losing. political deadlock in the u.s. over raising the country's debt ceiling shows no sign of easing ahead of a decision deadline in less than a fortnight according to the international monetary fund chief of the crisis not threatening the global economy the u.s. the treasury department with that to die a folk cost a possible default could drag america into a recession worse than the one in two thousand and eight some of the organizations considered to be non essential government operations are already feeling the pinch george abbey who used to oversee the international space station for nasa told us they'll be long lasting aftershocks. there are missions that are coming up in say four or five or six months fairly critical missions or missions a. lot of whites that are going to the planets they have launch windows that have to be maintained and if the workers are furloughed that work and being done and so

there is going to be an effect on the line and i was the director of the johnson space center and we were flying the space shuttle and of course flying missions to a mirror to time so we had to maintain a schedule so i managed to keep the work orders. working and we kept our word going on in the johnson space center in the kennedy space center in florida and we didn't really have an impact but this time with about ninety seven percent of the workforce at the johnson space center laid off there will be an impact down the line. right imitating the u.s. economy lifestyle which led to the global crisis why years ago could be home for one of a lot of countries and a couple of hours makes kind of an as they say herbert show where big copycat means could beat. course only in the u.k. would they come up with an idea of backing their wealth of creating wealth through property so this is the first head by max and it's turned crown estate into

sovereign wealth fund labor m.p.'s to urge basically this is a great idea because other countries like norway famously have a sovereign wealth fund from know that north sea oil china has trillions of dollars in reserves made up of a chilling us dollars and then more chileans of other currencies britain however they sold sixty percent of their gold under gordon brown they have no sovereign wealth fund and they've got an economy that's overly reliant on fraud and really hypothecation so yes i say to the queen elizabeth respectfully return all of that unused collateral into something that can help the nation think of it as being on the vanguard in this global financial war and when it's not sexy don't you want to be a war queen you can be like there's a financial war going we're going to put up a palace as collateral defy the financial war you know it's exciting get on t.v. make a few speeches you could make a movie about you you'd be this famous some of these previous monarchs that made movies about that are now canonized in hollywood you too can be famous in hollywood

too yes. so if the wind could stand paying its citizens an unconditional minimum allowance of almost three thousand dollars per month they may have to provide a financial safety net to crisis hit households will be decided by a national referendum up to gaining the support all they have one hundred thousand people but all of that has the details. cash by the truckload the proposed basic income initiative arrived with a splash and the promise of two thousand euro a month to every swiss citizen intended to let them live without basic financial worries imagine you're being born and society tells you while calm you will be cared for and asks you what you want to do with your life what's your calling imagine imagine that that feeling that's a whole different atmosphere parliament were presented with

a petition signed by over one hundred twenty thousand people are closing the idea of paying everyone if they will or not so switzerland is say the referendum. it could be one of the landmark historical moments like the abolition of slavery or the civil rights movement of course those who don't want it will find excuses i know but those who do want it will find solutions and. campaign is announce their intention to spread the wealth with a glitzy stunt four hundred thousand swiss francs about three hundred fifty thousand euro worth of gold coins deposited on the square in front of parliament this initiative hopes to do is to in switzerland huge mountains of gold into the base for all its citizens when you look at the globe say ok we want to do a pilot project what do you do you pick a small country ok

a concert which is i'm embarrassed about all the independence you know we're not part of the you but here for this project it could be could be an advantage apart from being independent of brussels supporters a sighting another major reason for this idea to be successful here. if there is anywhere that can finance this it's with great now we have to ball rolling stone to a yes or no where. it will then be up to lawmakers to determine exactly where the money will come from unless those financing issues are worked through with the prospect of tax rises it may prove difficult to convince enough swiss that the idea of money for nothing is a good one the older generation they live their whole lives in and out of the system so it's it's hard for them to actually realize what this means they have fear for their pensions and everything and they don't instantly get that it's actually everything placements in the system the concept behind the initiative is

that the current system of work and pay is outdated for a progressive nation like switzerland but with the question of. just thrown at them it could turn out to be a gamble too far for. the swedes. coming up after the break of the killing of an on a woman by security forces in washington raises questions over police tactics. then really on a week to week basis unfortunately in the united states where we're hearing stories of police shooting unarmed people who they perceive as a threat just ahead we've got this tragic story plus. a correspondent travels to the oil platform greenpeace activists are trying to stage a protest last month stay with our team to get the koreans perspective of what happened .

if we can we know if you. choose to use the consensus. choose to. choose the stories to to. choose . there's a nine story building i noticed that standing on a true was a man in civilian clothes holding a sniper rifle. to say something that offends so they delayed today's news blank old wooden shells by the building was

good for him how much time it took to restore it. we sold it for yeltsin in the referendum to deputies of the supreme soviet didn't appeal to us out all we had to support yeltsin otherwise it would have been civil war. thanks for staying with us you're watching our team questions being wasted by the actions of police offices who fatally shot an unarmed a woman marry him kerry was killed in a frontal one year old child up to she tried to ram through barricades at the white house it's still unknown what led her to the actions details now on our teeth them sex. we're learning more about the suspect who led police on a high speed chase through washington d.c. her name is miriam carey thirty four years old from connecticut reportedly suffering from mental illnesses including postpartum depression she was recently laid off from her job as a dental hygienist she tried to gain access to

a secure area near the white house here in washington d.c. just really a block away from the studio here she was confronted by police she did a three point turn striking a police officer and sped off to the u.s. capitol where she was again confronted by police shots rang out she alluded police again where she drove another few blocks near senate office buildings the car was then crashed and police opened fire killing her only then realized killing her in front of her one year old child it's worth noting she was completely unarmed the only shots fired during this entire incident were from the police and some people are saying this could have been a misunderstanding if you know this area around d.c. there's constantly drills going on there security checkpoints going on. you know it's hard to drive around and figure out if someone made a wrong turn and were confronted by police someone who might have a history of mental illness could get confused and drive off it's tragic that it

would end in someone's death will be investigations into this i mean we're talking about the two most secure locations probably in the plain of the u.s. capitol the white house which might be why police were quick to jump to lethal force but a lot of people be saying you know why he why didn't police try and shoot out the tires when they had the vehicle cornered why wasn't another police car brought in to further box in the the suspect vehicle and once the suspects car was immobilised the the third time why was she just shot dead and really on a week to week basis unfortunately in the united states where we're hearing stories of police shooting unarmed people who they perceive as a threat and weren't so this is just another tragic instance of that unfortunately here in the nation's capitol. right you can see how miriam carey it was a change that by the police the mt washington let's take a look at that now on the map here's washington right here now the perceived started near the white house let's take you white the there's the white house and

continued right there until they to capitol hill almost a three kilometers is away from the white house not when miriam was shot dead that's way when miriam was shot dead right here brian back to director of the coalition against war and racism says there was no reason for the police to act that way they did there's five or six police officers just inches away from her head with guns drawn and that's when she starts to plead she runs from them she's running away and they start opening fire and they keep shooting and finally when she's when her car is immobilized she's riddled with bullets why would please now terry gainer who's the sergeant of arms of the u.s. senate formally the chief of capitol police he said there was no possibility at all that she could have gotten access to the capitol grounds because there are so many barricades so if her car is disabled and the police chief or the sergeant at arms says there's no possible way for her car to pose a danger to congress why then did they open fire i mean it's because they shoot

first ask questions later the police in washington and around the country have a license to kill they know there's never a prosecution and as we saw in congress the congress members just cheered they cheered over the slaughter and it really was the slaughter of an unarmed black woman in front of her baby. every mountain is looking at the capitol hill conch ace incident as well you can catch a break in the set next hour here on r.t. but he has a preview. america was rocked by the news of the maybe yard shooting and this latest incident but do you think people would even know these events didn't occur on federal property consider the number of shootings that happened right here in d.c. over the last couple months mere blocks away from the capitol shootings that don't even get a peep from the corporate news in fact in the five days leading up to the navy yard massacre there were ten separate shootings across the district like these two that occurred in northwest d.c. leaving one dead and two injured on september twelfth about this drive by it

happened just the read days after that in southeast d.c. resulting in two victims going to the hospital wraps most disturbingly is this drive by shooting that happened just a few months ago not too far from where i live and which a gunman sprayed bullets on innocent pedestrians but of course you don't hear about any of these incidents outside of local news maybe it's because these people to get shot next to a national monument. the militant group but hizbollah has reportedly been withdrawing fighters from the syrian conflict where they've been battling opposition forces according to some estimates more than ten thousand hezbollah soldiers have been involved in the conflict archies policy it looks now add to the group's role in the syrian war and its position in the airport. remember this war hizbollah fired almost

four thousand rockets into israel seven years on the has crippled the missile also no problem in washington to say the group has more missiles than most governments in the world they had some thirteen or fifteen thousand. before that and now according. to thousands from a small militia that emerged in the early eighty's hizbullah has grown to an organization with six malignancies government a radio and satellite television station and programs for social development it's been called a state within a state has one who were there only for his blog is a very interesting combination it's not just a political party and not just a resistance group but a combination of both they have a political wing a military wing and an economic wing it builds a very respectful place in south lebanon and in the places where the shia are living in lebanon. the movement once hospitals clinics schools as well as

agricultural centers that provide farmers with technical assistance and training it supports families of fighters who die in battle but hostility to israel is the party's defining path from especially since may two thousand when the last israeli troops left lebanon largely because of the success of his bill of fighters but where is his bill as popularity peeta then opinion over the organization is divided most of the arab and muslim world see hezbollah as a resistance and social movement more powerful than the lebanese government but the united states european union of course israel and others regarded as a terrorist organization terrorist organization of terrorist organizations like hezbollah it's time to name his bollocks as a terrorist organization to take action against its recent intervention in syria has also been highly controversial beirut and many in the international community have criticized the group for taking. the side of the syrian president bashar assad

regime has a long history. in lebanon because by the way the leader of the ahmed movement. gave. the tape in one thousand nine hundred seventy four seventy five which for the first time. it's. been in the war in. syria has supported to develop islamist organization which became his between eighty two hundred five. syria's gave their strategic umbrella this alliance grew stronger because of common cause it's kept iraq from becoming the predominant regional power and stopped israel's efforts to bring lebanon into its orbit. what i can tell you is that syria is a key element in an axis of resistance this is why no one knows for sure how an american aggression against syria might play out of intially not even the americans

who would be pushing for an intervention. israel has already tried to hand and although she won't publicly admit it it's widely accepted tel aviv was behind at least four military strikes inside syria aimed at preventing weapons from being transferred from damascus to hizbollah in a shift from her usual noncommittal public stance tel aviv also recently called for assad to be toppled but any attack on syria will undoubtedly invoke his beloved television a scenario that could make the war in two thousand and six look like a minus wobble policy r t v. and now a quick look at some other world news in prefer starting with kenya where these four people have been killed during violent clashes between police and protesters over the killing of those the cleric in mombasa office has resorted to tear gas to break up the rally after writers set fire to a church the cleric allegedly had tied to the somali basis shabab that carried out a deadly attack on an i.j.

shopping mall in september killing dozens. tomorrow can t.v. agers have been arrested by police for posting a photo of them kissing on facebook triggering a slew of copycats they're being held in juvenile detention with sit ins reportedly demand the immediate release officials confirm to the rest but denied any further comment on the case. a russian oil platform in the arctic ocean came into the media spotlight last month when greenpeace activists tried to board it to protest over drilling in the region authorities claim the actions produce a threat to the rigs employees are does worry if a national went to meet the crew. precious little the. teapot over there is and. when. is it.

really set to begin. pretty as long there was preparing to become russia's first offshore oil rig in the arctic other nations want to catch up until at least two thousand and twenty very early warning their rigs captain was informed that the arctic sunrise vessel was just a few kilometers away and that its behavior was out of ordinary. the worldwide automatic identification system also known as they can track almost any sheep within a twenty mile zone and know their unique identification and position course and speed if it wants to be seen for them balloons you see on the books with us on the road the boat was identified as the arctic sunrise but then it disappeared from our radars which could only mean they switched off their systems it constantly changed course and speed was approaching and then moving away from the rig again at one

point they breached the three mile safety zone around the rig for ten to twenty minutes. the captain told us he tried to contact the suspicious vessel sent a message warning it not to approach the reek any closer it was met with silence the rules captain twenty five years at the helm was water well the cruzan tensions but you could imagine the worst he had experience with dealing with greenpeace activists before. last august when pieces of tick sunrise brought a dozen environmental activists to the platform for a protest over the dangers drilling could pose to the environment the u.s. drug use to reach the righ and eventually managed to get on it and spend about ten hours there the head of greenpeace russia used the success to accuse the rig's management of been unable to provide security which could have disastrous consequences if it had been a terror attack the official claimed

a year on the pressure group tried to repeat the stunt for the captain it was like deja vu he saw first two and then three boats approaching the rig bridge in its safety zone protected by international maritime law he should act. reaction from the rigs crew as well as border forces patrolling strategic waters was well coordinated and quick they stopped him what happened next the world learned from various videos later pasted on the web. we knew it was greenpeace vessel but as to who was on board and what their aims were we had no idea there could have been anyone there especially when we saw them launching speedboats look they used these ropes to try to get on board and two of them succeeded we continue talking to them in english they didn't the baby there was a woman and a man and this is when border forces had to intervene. with use of

article four or they posed a minor threat until the attempted to board the platform and that we have to prevent by all. well means because they could damage equipment and sabotage our work this rig is a place of extreme danger. the rigs crew says it learned lessons from last year and jokingly thanked the activists for helping them improve their ability to protect their righ but for the activists themselves thirty people from nineteen countries including russia this is no joke they're all now charged with piracy if convicted they could face up to fifteen years in jail it's up to the law now to decide rif notion r.t. from charice see in russia's north. coming up after the break our team takes place a local how the production of cheap led them having a devastation in fact thousands of lives in bangladesh.

recently the ministry of internal affairs of russia declared that they're going to address to increase operations in and around the moscow subway system with a major emphasis on illegal immigration there's an odd paradox when people talk about dealing with illegal immigration in terms of what the police should do people want the police to deal with it but any means of trying to actually do anything are generally taboo any form of asking people to see ideas viewed as an invasion of privacy or racial profiling well i don't know how exactly anyone can prove they are or aren't a citizen without id and if you're looking for people who are forward and thus different then how can you go about looking for illegals without looking for people who are different profiling if you were looking for a criminal of slavic origin in uganda when the police be wrong to stop me due to standing out from the crowd i don't think so that's not racial profiling it is just common sense obviously it is best to fight the causes of illegal immigration rather

than asking for id in moscow subways but they have to do something so i guess id checks are here to stay but there's a big difference between looking at someone's passport and doing stop and frisk or involuntary blood and urine tests that is what immigration control goes over the line but pressure just my opinion. we know how to do banking it should be like infrastructure to support the economy it shouldn't be for the benefit of it leads to think they're above the law as we currently have.
