what made the statistics we talk to activists from the bureau of investigative journalism who are looking beyond just the casualty figures for what the u.s. calls a position strike it's. a warm welcome to you if you're just joining us you're on r.t.l. we're live from moscow you're with me. story this morning. american exceptionalism is merely an excuse for washington uses to break the law at home and abroad that's what julian assange just told r.t. . in an exclusive interview we can respond to also sketched out his vision on the future of freedom of information and praise russia for giving asylum to n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden. an interview here with julian assange the founder of wiki leaks here at the embassy of ecuador in london he affirmed that the

exceptionalism that barack obama president of united states is defending is merely an excuse to be involved a law something used by nations such as united states with power to subordinate others assigned also alerted to the necessity of developing sovereign technology and sovereignty in general in order to defend nations against the mass surveillance and espionage programs of the united states that violate human rights and certain rights under international law that whenever you see the president talk about exceptionalism what he's trying to say is there are rules of civil behavior. doesn't apply to him. whether that's in invading another country or whether that's abuse of lords. in relation to. barack obama's use of the espionage act against alleged journalistic

sources. and journalists. that's something you're so it's very important that people understand that this is not just a bit more saying it's a radical change. sorry for obama has prosecuted more people under the espionage act more journalistic sources on the espionage act than all previous presidents combined going back to nine hundred seventy in fact he's prosecuted them but this is a deliberate conscious decision by the white house to create a chilling effect using the espionage act as opposed to some other mechanism he also thanked the russian government for giving asylum to edward snowden the whistleblower and former n.s.a. contractor and he thanked the countries of ecuador venezuela bolivia for offering asylum to snowden and also giving support and asylum to assign chen self saying that there are few nations amongst the few nations that had the courage to stand up

it was rate he has no regrets and he's willing to face whatever the future holds for him it's a dangerous time for whistleblowers in the united states but the fact the snowden effect has been the opposite we have more and more whistleblowers coming to the government accountability project than we have had before so i think the u.s. is trying to clamp down and send the message by making an example courage is contagious. so what's it like to. major government organizations to expose exactly. this group of whistle play was tell us all about their experiences and that full conversation is available for you on our team dot com. so that was snowden be considered a hero for revealing how u.s. surveillance programs operate one of the most prominent figures in the technology world the things they are thousands worlds apart as said with apple co-founder steve wozniak who explained his views on the n.s.a.

leaker and his revelations. i believe he's a hero i believe he's coming directly from his heart that he feels some goodness that he wants to be truthful to the american people that he believes in and loves his country america so strong with and that's all true and that he took a very drastic step and made a sacrifice and i wish that i looked around the search engine and my wife that i could do a quick call to his make the sacrifice i would do it i don't have knowledge information to expose you know on our. government bad activities that they do secretly because nobody would really think it's the right thing so i'm i'm very. i'm very glad that he exists among us seems a hero and i wish that somebody five in the same situation i hope that i have the courage to do the same thing.

one hundred twenty million europeans are now living in on the brink of poverty twenty six million have no job or a cause a study concludes of problems triggered by the e.u. striking tackling of the debt crisis will be felt for decades now it says are the poor getting poorer soaring unemployment is fueling extremism and depression and hopelessness is on the rise chris clark from the noting of business school in the u.k. says governments don't realize the scale of the looming disaster. i think. at the moment what you're seeing is european financial leaders the commission to the governments all telling us how they've solved the problems when they haven't actually done anything at all in the last couple of years to sort out any of their problems and you know i do agree with the red cross that they are facing a catastrophe in europe and i think back to ask if you will happen soon so what you're seeing is an economic crisis brought about by that ludicrous policy of

trying to tie everything together me europe was functioning quite well until the single currency came along. so you know when you get masses of young people unemployed and when you get people in various countries feeling like they are continuously paying out to support other people in other countries then you know the problem the problem here is quite clearly. going to cause xenophobia. there is dead certain european countries like portugal are pressing on with austerity in a struggle to please international lenders they say the prospects of we come re i presume but that doesn't make people's everyday lives any easier for it not. since portugal signed a seventy eight billion euro bailout deal back in two thousand and eleven some have referred to it as the poster child of us thirty but with high unemployment and a surge in emigration we've come to take a look at the state of portugal's economy two years on like most mothers raquel

some glimmers of recovery beeston exports has been complemented by strong tourism but the cost of the a stereotype has been high many workers have seen tax rises equivalent to a month's wages and the age of retirement has gone up economist for rare is still calling for portugal to leave the eurozone and he has a word of warning. to difficult to. call for and there's another big question on everybody's lips as portugal got another. there's a reschedule for. the. difficult situation because we have to three years ago but to.

give. up his program where we. are going to. probably. has to be. all eyes will be alone portugal when its current program with the troika comes to an end in june next year but off to two years of unprecedented will start see many portuguese still see little hope of a price to. surf aussie portugal well stories i have for you including saying no to g.m. and into that whole rally against the cold food giant monsanto is expected to get. fifty countries across the. potomac human face on the drug war in pakistan take a look at how one british n.p.o. has launched a project to list the names of all those killed by unmanned u.s. aerial strikes

a key role in feeding the world's rapidly growing population jeffrey smith who has written extensively about the dangers of g.m. foods next to decide. when you look to be an audible feeding studies are genetically engineered through just the american academy of environmental medicine they said there's gastrointestinal problems mune system problems excel aerated aging organ damage reproductive disorders there's massive infant mortality multiple . tumors early death there are so many things that are going wrong with the animals that are being fed g m o's and now we're seeing those things rising in the u.s. population seems geos were introduced the current generation of g m o's has nothing to offer feeding the hungry world or about a cave in poverty so this is just been a public relations fan and they spent two hundred fifty million dollars over five years trying to convince americans that they needed to accept g m o's because it

would feed the world i ask farmers all the time what do you think about santa even those farmers that use monsanto seeds often hate monsanto or fear might said oh. so that's why santa has been continuously voted as the most evil company on the planet year after year with stiff competition. all because the following the crowd that taking to the streets to protest against one cent on saturday playing in opinion and then on and on mine. one is global business risk global doesn't interest versus millions or more as it begins and profits versus global protest. march against monsanto look at the close in r g u r g don't come and now look at what a website or two dot com has for you today this one has a lot of people clicking on its intelligence reaction was ill is going to act

against and say snooping planning to host a summit about call sport of spying and the laws of the internet that story and the background on why brazil is so upset is online for you. and so will cain did an ohio man tries to prove these alive and well two decades after he was told to have passed away but of course refused to declare him alive despite him being at that hearing the story is the subject of one of the many call to use and see the whole collection to. the to. right the same touch tribute and i think the church. on our reporters with their. instrument.

in the cold. you're watching are two news just in rebel groups in syria killed at least one hundred ninety civilians in early or goes human rights watch revealed today the report also says over two hundred hostages were seized in a military offensive on pro-us side a white villages at least sixty seven of them are believed to have been executed. the u.s. is reluctant to admit how many civilians have died in the cia led drone war in pakistan but what do you claim nonprofit group is digging for the truth the bureau of investigative journalism is seeking to name all the victims of the u.s. strikes in the region in the hope it could put a human face on what's happening. at has this report. i want to make sure that people understand actually drones have not caused a huge number of civilian casualties that for the most part they have been very

precise precision strikes against al qaeda and their affiliates for the most part being the operative phrase one organization is taking american statements like these with a pinch of salt and looking at just how precise these so-called precision strikes are according to estimates u.s. drone strikes have killed over two and a half thousand people in pakistan's remote tribal region since two thousand and four but london's bureau of investigative journalism is going beyond those casualty figures and trying to name every single person killed by the cia's use of drones in waziristan we've been recording the strikes and recording the number of people killed and now we want to move on to a new phase of the project to start recording been millions of the bad this is to help bring transparency to the public debate about the use of drones in pakistan but also more generally to bring return the people see manatees to return to fight

with their people what made the statistics already the project has the names of two hundred ninety five innocent victims among them ninety five children there's a fundamental problem with the whole strategy of of using drugs almost inevitably this kind of remote controlled killing is going to increase the number of civilian casualties it has a tendency to towards indiscriminate assassinations there's a kind of there's a kind of a gulf between you and your potential targets which i think inevitably leads towards a kind of trigger happy approach to killing in pakistan drones are deeply unpopular the country's u.n. envoy recently renewed calls for the strikes to end the continuing to violate pakistan's sovereignty international law and hume. writes you read about the accounts of what the experience of drona times are actually like for local people and with serious than in afghanistan and elsewhere you have these and the calls

just in the air over communities for twelve eighteen hours which creates a feeling of being an imminent strike across you know most of our attention in fear families have to leave the area the cia which runs the drone program has been accused of shielding it from being accountable to the american people as a civilian organization carrying a war across the border into the country essentially into a country as far as we're aware the united states government is the only country to use drones outside of a declared war and we believe that we should bring transparency to those actions so that the public of the faith the merits or demerits of humanizing the innocent dead could be the first step towards opening up that debate remembering that civilian victims are names not numbers. artsy. so you with pakistan and at least six people have been killed and thirty more that

in a bomb blast in your quest or explosion near a police station you damage several nearby shops and your calls early in the day two separate plaster went off in the city of lahore in peshawar even one in all did great in others no group has claimed the attacks also. the. workers led by democrat senator nelson pelosi hit the streets of washington to show their anger over the ongoing governmental shutdown they demanded the senate resolve the crisis by allowing the vote in a resolution to open the government the dollar is not in its eleven the day with less than a week left until a possible default with congress unable to agree on a budget. at the german parliament to migrants from different african countries are staging a hunger strike at the refugees have been camping there for almost a year after traveling from a government facility near munich to protest over the rules of claiming asylum and

the current regulations immigrants must live in areas designated by the federal government and are forbidden from working. israelis that are serving in the army are facing some of their biggest battles on home soil ultra orthodox jews and listed in the army are coming under attack from their own cd communities where most of believe to serve artie's policia reports. it's the basic mission of a soldier to fight for his or her country but for the few hundred ultra-orthodox israeli soldiers the fight is on two fronts they're also coming under fire from within their own hasidic communities for serving in the israeli defense forces in the hardcore religious neighborhoods the graffiti warns religious soldiers that if you made it here you are in the wrong place it was even a flyer distributed saying that to kill an ultra-orthodox soldier is a blessing the soldier once his face blurred because he fears reprisals of myself

experienced in. those communities where. of twenty you can see them were surrounding reno shelter. preparing grace for you and your friends and saw. the harassment is gaining momentum is now even a phone hotline that's been set up so people can snitch on those they know are serving or they've seen in uniform it's gotten so bad that ultra-orthodox soldiers say they now ship the uniforms before coming home in these religious neighborhoods there's room for only one type of uniform the traditional black and white god worn by hard line observers those from the wife who was reading this call in uniform in jerusalem and they stopped us cards at their pizza. and then run away the problem is that most ultra orthodox jews believe the army is an unholy place many also refuse to recognize israel as they say they cannot be a jewish state until the messiah comes and so fighting for the one via the other

oversteps the boundaries of what's acceptable so basically of her any community is a conflict between how to relate. to the country and to the secular people in the country and they see those soldiers who are going into the army and that later integrating into the thirty something that people in pulsing into their way of living for sixty five years the ultra-orthodox who make up about eight percent of israel's eight million citizens have largely been now to skip compulsory military service to pursue their religious studies but the government's now decided enough is enough and the cabinet has approved a plan to gradually end automatic draft exemptions that religious leaders are warning if the law passes it will be a dick aeration of war because. the issue is very simple the state is trying to

turn the ultra-orthodox into becoming more secular they say it openly they want to . incorporated into israeli society and remove us from what they call our ghettos we see that as a war on our way of life on our religion we feel persecuted for the small number who do serve in the army they've been branded as collaborators and sellouts but the assaults don't bother david he's encouraging other ultra religious soldiers to follow in his footsteps after already serving a year and a half in combat he's about to be enlisted to become a commander i feel every every join us sir. it is only because it's the from the. but. keep it was pieced together tape in a possible is a battle that has yet to be for. juice and. that's it for me at this hour i'll be back with the news in about thirty minutes time to stay with us.

you know it's getting old trying to beat the war drums to invade iran i think the let's invade iran talk has been going on since i was in college to keep the saber rattling rolling israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu declared in front of the un that iran is building nuclear weapons that could hit new york in three to four years no he said new york obviously he is trying to spook a certain country with nuclear destruction the delegates from namibia were probably unmoved sadly this time netanyahu failed to bring a funny cartoon bomb picture with him like in his two thousand and twelve un speech in which he also warned the world about the threat of a nuclear iran you know i might be more optimistic about israel accusing other countries of being nuclear threats if they had a better track record themselves although israel is

a bit candid with their arsenal according to a b.b.c. article the federation of american scientists believes that israel's arsenal has grown to about two hundred nukes based on their surveillance of ever expanding facilities inside the country also let's not forget that israel has plenty of ways to deliver those two hundred nuclear bombs if the need be so my question is why should we automatically trust israel with a lot of nuclear weapons but not iran is it because they're bureaucrats where european suits and shave i don't know it just seems to me that disarmed countries are better advocates for nuclear disarmament but that's just my opinion. and. it was terrible they weren't very hard to make out and once again once a month there was a plan a law that never had sex with the earthquake there are no plans let's set up
