a little bit about what's going to be happening day to day i'm. sure when you join me at the beautiful planet and i call stadium here in athens it actually hosted the first modern the lympics back in one thousand nine hundred six and today will see russia officially get its hands on the olympic flame for sochi twenty four c. now you might be able to hear the handing over ceremony has just begun i do expect to hear the russian national anthem any minute now and then we will see the greek figure skater pony artist mark courses run into the stadium with the olympic torch that torch the one that was later be ancient sites of elim period just a few days ago and then told harang greece that greek relay will come to an end today when they hand the torch over to the russian olympic committee and then they will fly it over to moscow tomorrow for the start of the russian relay that will cover a staggering sixty sixty five thousand kilometers and then in sochi on february the seventh in time for the ceremony said that is just over one hundred days away but

the still plenty to enjoy here in athens in the evening sunshine as the handing over ceremony begins now we will hear from a limb pick chafes we will hear more music from the choir and the orchestra that has assembled and i think we will also see pretty soon precesses that you might have seen a pretty limp here a few days ago played we can nest certainly here the start of that all castro behind you we're looking forward to seeing that handover ceremony from athens we have of course i've got the full live coverage of the olympic torch handover ceremony on a website you can log on to our team dot com to see and the footage from athens. philippa torch is on its epic journey to structure. one hundred and twenty three days. through two thousand nine hundred towns and cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand coming. in

a record setting trip by land air and sea and others face. a let's take a large. special coverage on our i. four with the n.s.a. no one has a good enough reason to seek anonymity on the web the fresh legal reveals that weather is a protecting business secrets all shielding their identity from an oppressive regime the agency's anti encryption crusade even that targets complex systems develop for they see generally need privacy meanwhile the internet giants in damage control mode oss came the federal court to let them reveal details about n.s.a. data requests from off reports. in the wake of the u.s. national security agency scandal much of the tech industry has grown 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 not american companies cancelled 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 office for 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 of. ation 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. the founder of a secure email provider used by edward snowden was forced to shut down his service off to where he wanted for nearly ten yes he repeated it with us to provide the

f.b.i. with access to his service encryption keys later levinson explain to our to you why he preferred to close rather than diskless i took the stance that i did not try and protect a single person but because i was concerned about the invasion and 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 city 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. five days of government shutdown have done little to cool tempos in washington where republican and democratic lawmakers are bickering over budget technicalities what's worth it doesn't look like the crisis will end anytime soon and could even get a whole lot worse by the seventeenth that's when lawmakers the have to raise america's the debt ceiling in order to pay off debts otherwise that means default replications of which could be horrendous for the world economy currently hundreds of thousands of state workers have been laid off in the u.s. with organizations as big as the n.s.a. nasa forced to wind down operations george abbey who used to oversee the international space station for houston told us there will be long lasting aftershocks missions that are coming up in say four or five or six months

fairly critical motions are immersions that robotic rights are going to the planets they have launch windows that have to remain jane and if the workers are that working 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 time so we had to maintain a schedule so i managed to keep the workforce. working and we kept our going on in georgia trade center and 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 that's johnson's very sort of laid off there will be in effect on the line imitating the u.s. economic lifestyle which will lead to the global crisis five years ago could be harmful for other countries coming up next hour max and stacy show where the

copycat rooms could lead. of course only you see when they come up with an idea of backing their wealth of creating wealth through property so this is the first headline 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 re hypothecation so yes i say to the queen elizabeth respectfully return all that the news 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 the palaces 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 as famous as some of these previous monarchs they've made movies about that are now canonized in hollywood you can be famous in hollywood too yes. that's return the knowledge of the start of the olympic flame a journey and show you what's happening right now in athens this is from la video agency rapini way you can now see the ceremonial hand of the twenty four team that went to a lympics torch it's taking place in the athens stadium where the phrase modern olympics to place at the end of the nineteenth century now the torch was lit in greece and off to a weeklong tour of the country will now go to russia they it will be carried for sixty five thousand kilometers and visit almost three thousand towns and villages

before finally arriving in sochi as the torch lens and most kicks of more. we'll be bringing you live coverage of the festivities and there it is the torch right there as you can see on our live pictures as they. knew there was nothing there but a very good life pictures there from every state as you can see the olympic torch there making its way for that ceremonial hand that's in athens and then it looks like this could possibly be the main russian bear holder who's running there with of the torch or it's been set the torch. would make it to. every single person almost ninety percent of russians would be able to be about a metre. away from what the torch and to do the ready so. so this is the actual moment right now that. they you officially

coming to russia to work its way to sochi the twenty four thousand for those winter olympic games the olympic torch is now making its way to the race country of course as winter olympic games a will be starting the seventh of february of two thousand and fourteen together with a pair of limpid games which will start in mongolia watching pictures live from athens at that historical monument that nineteenth century historically only mimics the way the olympic torch has started to follow the notion of over all these. right we're looking at these live pictures from athens as these pictures are coming alive from a video agency rocky where you can now see the ceremonial hand over of the sword cheap twenty fourteen winter olympics watch.

we'll have more coverage of that of course as we gaze here on our t.v. well now to one extreme switzerland pursues starter paying its citizens a monthly salary of two thousand euros just awful being the now the idea is up now for a national vote to having received the backing of one hundred thousand signatures in principle it's an extreme social safety net but those behind it have bigger plans is artie's peed all over in zurich. cash by the truckload the proposed basic income initiative a rally 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 well calm you will

be cared for and i ask you what you want to do with your life what's your calling imagine imagine that that feeling that's a whole different atmosphere column and were presented with a petition signed by over one hundred twenty thousand people opposing the idea of paying everyone they will or not so switzerland say the referendum. then. 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. this

initiative hopes to do is to in switzerland huge mouthfuls 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 sightseeing another major reason for this idea to be successful here. if there is anywhere that can find its way through and great now we have to ball rolling stone to a yes or no where. it will then be up to the lawmakers to determine exactly where the money will come from unless those financing issues are worked through and 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 lived their whole lives in and out of the

system so it's it's hard for them to actually realize what this means and they have fear of course off their pensions and everything and they don't instantly get that it's actually everything placements of an order system the concept behind the initiative is that the current system of work can pay is outdated for a progressive nation like switzerland but with the question of would swiss people want to work if cash is just thrown at them it could turn out to be a gamble too far for voters peter all of. the switzerland. coming up to the take the rigs a right to to reply which travel to meet the tree of the russian oil platforms don't like greenpeace activists to hear their thoughts on the protest. and the metals accused of killing afghan civilians again the alliance denies missing its militant targets one that is up to the brink.

there's a nine story building i noticed that standing on a true for was a man in civilian clothes holding a sniper rifle. to say something that offends so they try to they use blank or wooden shells on the building was burning through and how much time it took to restore it. we. voted for yeltsin in the referendum we do deputies of the supreme soviet didn't appeal to us at all we had to support yeltsin otherwise it would have been civil war. mission. pretty taishan free storage free. range month

went to. visit many others really set to pick. up on. previous loan 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 the 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 through them balloons you see it 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 mass 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 not to approach the reek any closer it was met with silence the rules captain twenty five years at the helm was not aware of the crew's intentions but you could imagine the war as he had experience with dealing with greenpeace activists before. last august current pieces arctic sunrise brought a dozen environmental activists to the platform for a protest over the dangers drilling could pose to the environment they use drugs. 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. for four more years of article four for them are they posed a minor threat until the attempted to board the platform and that we have to prevent by all possible 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 off to the law now to decide riff notion r.t. from. charice see in rush's nourse. on our website she had no gun and a one year old toddler in her car but a thirty four year old woman was shot dead by officers after trying to ram her way

into the white house grounds and leading police on. a hair raising chase through the capital we've got that story in full on line. i'm putting down roots in a stand against aggression that our two dogs call me the man who is planting seeds of resistance in the west bank. right from the street. first street. and i think the true. on our reporters were very. vehement. afghan officials are blaming a so-called position nato strike for the deaths of five civilians including three

children and the coalition dismisses the accusations as saying the casualty reports show no civilian victims afghanistan as would be picked upon to things u.s. intelligence needs to do a better job. in fact last night's attack. is part of. this. this is. the latest strike. may be an intelligence failure the people who could move. their rifles they were going about shooting at night this is. this is. a lot of guns and it seems this strike took place. because these youngsters were mistaken as militants. by coming up a breaking the set to discuss is the death of a rethinking release

a louisiana prison that he spent twenty one years in solitary confinement and. you know i'm old enough to remember 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 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 non-criminal bad public behavior you know i am not the bravest guy on the planet and it's 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 militia men 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're sure feel like people actually have a lot of power and this could be good for the country but that's just my opinion.

hey guys welcome to breaking the sat i want to take a moment to pay my respects to a man named herman wallace who died today from liver cancer at the age of seventy one seawalls was a former inmate at the louisiana state penitentiary in angola and spent the last forty one years of his life in solitary confinement earlier this week he was released from prison after a judge granted him a new trial because of the unfair jury selection of all white males during his first one wallace was originally imprisoned for robbery and moved to solitary after allegedly stabbing a prison guard during a riot he claimed that he was singled out because he was a member of the black panther party and organize protests against prison conditions now after years of appeals wallace's murder conviction was finally overturned unfortunately he died shortly after being released and while some are happy that at least he's spent his last hours as a free man it's an utter travesty that wallace lived the last forty one years in

a tiny cell virtually no human contact all for a crime he may not have committed as that's twenty first century justice in the most incarcerated country on earth. the please please take a look very hard to take a. look. at you that he had sex with that her think there are those. that are like. little.
