are looking beyond just the casualty figures caused by what the u.s. calls christian strike it's. a very warm welcome to you if you've just joined us here on r.g.p. we're live from moscow are you with me to bomb was a top top story right now. american exceptionalism is merely an excuse washington uses to break the law at home and abroad that's what julian assange just told our evil call injure in an exclusive interview we can expound also scarce charge his vision on the future of freedom of information and praise rochelle for given asylum to n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden. in 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 in 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 invading another country or whether that's abuse of lords. in relation to. this use of the espionage act against alleged journalistic

sources. and journalists. that's something you're saying it's very important that people understand that this is not just people more say it's a radical shiite. cleric obama. even more people on the espionage or more journalistic sources on the espionage act than all previous presidents combined going back to one nine hundred seventy eight in fact he's prosecuted double 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 of venezuela bolivia for offering asylum to snowden and also giving support and asylum to a sign saying that they are the few nations. to stand up to u.s.

power and aggression in terms of those nations that stood for it was locked america and russia and not all of latin america but it's probably real and ecuador trying to keep interest. that full interview will be available for your online so head to our t.v. dot com at eleven thirty g.m.t. to hear more of what jimmy innocent had to say. meanwhile the whistleblower who's heavily in the spotlight right now edward snowden has been honored for his revelations about global u.s. surveillance you receive the same atoms price for integrity in intelligence it's given out annually by former u.s. government officials or whistleblower was an activist who handed snowden there was stopped by our studio and told our cheese cover when how the n.s.a. leaker is doing is convinced that he probably did 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 that we have had before so i think if the u.s. is trying to clamp down and send a message by making an example courage is contagious. so what's it like to go against major government organizations to explain exactly what they're up to well this group of whistleblowers told us all about the experiences and the full conversation is available for you on r.t. dot com. i should add was snowden be considered a hero for revealing how you were surveillance programs operated one of the most prominent figures in the technology world thinks so or to use the world the parser done with apple co-founder steve wozniak who explained his views on the m a c

leader 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 look around he certainly fit in my life 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 ians a hero and i wish that somebody five in the same situation i hope that i have the courage to do the same thing. hundred twenty million europeans are now living in on the brink of poverty twenty

six million have no job or red cross study concludes that the problems triggered by each use a tightening of the debt crisis will be felt for decades now it says of the poor getting poorer soaring unemployment is fueling extremism and depression and hopelessness is on the rise chris klug from the north and business a school in the u.k. says governments are don't realize the scale of the looming disaster. i think. at the moment what you're seeing is european financial leaders the commission 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 it will happen soon so what you're seeing is an economic crisis brought about by that ludicrous policy of

trying to tie everything together 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. you know the problem the problem is quite clearly. going to cause xenophobia. the most desperate in the european countries like portugal are pressing on with us gerrity in a struggle to please international lenders they say the prospects of recovery i presume but that doesn't make people's everyday lives any easier for. the 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 recal

this program. if. this program we are. going to markets probably something has to be that nobody can say exactly what. all eyes will be on portugal when its current program with the troika comes to an end in june next year but after two years of unprecedented austerity many portuguese still see little hope of a price tomorrow. surface us city portugal well stories ahead for you including a saying no to g.m. and international against and toys who joined one center is expected to get over fifty countries across the trail. and put on a human face on the drone war in pakistan we take a look at how one british n.g.o.s has launched a project to list the names of all those killed on monday was aerial strikes the

is reluctant to admit how many civilians have died in the cia drone war and called his son but one u.k. nonprofit group is digging for the truth the bureau of investigative journalism is seeking to name all the victims of u.s. strikes in the region and i hope it could put a human face on what's happening plenty boyko 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 the names of the dead 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 flight 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 these kind of remote controlled killing these guns in trees 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 even huge calls for the strikes to end the continuing to violate pakistan's sovereignty international law until. right you read about the accounts of what the experience of drona times russian lawyer for local people in brazil was there in afghanistan and elsewhere you have the mind the just in the yeah whoring over communities for twelve eighteen. which creates a feeling of being in imminent strike across you know most of our attention and 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 it's all countries are allowed

as far as we're aware the united states government is the only country this is drawing outside of that. we believe that we should bring transparency to those actions so that the public in the face of america so the merits of humanizing the innocent dead could be the first step towards opening up that debate remembering that civilian victims on names not numbers. artsy london. staying with mike is done and at least six people have been killed and to two more wounded in a bomb blast in the city of explosion near a police station and several nearby shops and to vehicle this early in the day true separate blasts went off in the cities of lahore and password for nearly one and wounding thirteen are those no group has yet claimed. workers led by democrats senator mentioned pelosi hit the streets of washington to share their anger over the ongoing governmental shutdown they demanded the senate

to solve the crisis by allowing the very time the resolution to open the government sat down is now in its eleventh day with less than a week left until a possible default with congress i'm able to agree on a bust. at the german parliament to my grandson from differ. the african countries are staging a hunger strike of 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 under current regulations immigrants must live in areas designated by the federal government and are forbidden from working. israeli's are serving in the army are facing some of their biggest battles on home soil ultra-orthodox jews are listed in the army are coming under attack from their own. communities where most believe it's a sin to serve artie's policy reports. it's the basic mission of

a soldier to fight for his or her country but for the few hundred all too often docs 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 born villagers soldiers that if you made it here 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 myself explodes and. those committees were. of twenty you can see them were surrounding reno sheltering. preparing grace for you and your friends in the toilets or. 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

today is room for only one type of uniform the traditional black and white god worn by hard line observers those of from the wife who was reading this call in uniform in jerusalem and they stopped us called sweets and. 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 in a community is a conflict between how to relate to. that to the country and to the secular people in the country and they see those soldiers from going into the army and that later integrating into the society a something that's important in pulsing into their way of living for sixty five

years the ultra-orthodox who make up about eighty percent of israel's eighty million citizens have largely been out to skip compulsory military service to pursue their religious studies but the government is now decided enough is enough and the cabinet has approved a plan to gradually end automatic draft exemptions but 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 weighty 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 will keep its wheels pieced together or take them upon such as it is a battle that has yet to be for what you see on t.v. to sort of. add up next to a locked and loaded. to have never lost for when it comes to meeting what's really going on in the international banking there yeah and if you minutes. 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. thanks for. the reply. did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and i was crushed cynical we've been hijacked lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once told us about my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion on the critical issues facing the right to find
