a budget busting deal keeps the world economy on edge with a little sign of a conclusion just two days before it could cause a catastrophic default. and tension in moscow as sounds of muslims mark want to visit lawns main holy days and the shadow of sunday's violent assoc of rest in the capital. this is r.t. coming to you live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program now foreign governments and businesses affected by the n.s.a. surveillance that outward snowden revealed are taking decisive steps to prevent future spawning brazil is creating an encrypted e-mail service to shield official communications from u.s. snooping and germany's biggest telecoms firm is planning to switch to exclusively

domestic connections to protect their users private data details from our correspondent peter all over. here inside one of the main offices of germany's largest telecommunications operates and they are coming up with a plan that they hope will protect their customers information from the prying eyes of security services telecom has announced that they will only be using german service for all communications inside germany in the future this is something they have said perhaps they would like to roll out to across europe but for now it's only going to be here in germany that information e-mails and phone calls and text messages will only travel on to them and so there's now this comes out following the revelations of just how much germany was spied on as sponsored by the n.s.a. and british secret services all of this coming out from the the leaks that edward snowden revealed to to various media outlets in fact just to sum up how much

germany was spied on one leak that was revealed in beagle news magazine in june of this year showed it's around a billion e-mails phone calls and text messages were intercepted in germany in the average monthly announcement by telecom is actually probably prompted all the major operators to say that they want to follow suit vodafone among them as well. telefonica said they would also try to roll this out for their customers however there are some that are skeptical of whether it could work due to the the nature of the modern communications however telecom is saying that they're determined to protect their customers information from the prying eyes of the spice. and another way for businesses to ensure a confidentiality is to move away from the dot com domain and one company doing so is a major malaysian investment firm its chief explain to our correspondent why he now

routes all data through a dot are you tell me. we hear. from proof the world got from mr snowden that certain organizations in the west are listening into medical records of their own citizens and the e-mail traffic of g. mail yahoo hotmail i do believe it's time to say goodbye to dot com and through has an excellent service that safe if i have a service which i pay for all i want is good customer service i want safety of my network or my server if appropriate for this reality congress over to lucian it's time to wake up. chris can't say whose company provides encrypted internet services is another entrepreneur has moved all of firms data to another country and he told us earlier how washington's approach to security only fuels users demands for more privacy. really what's happening here is that they have

a different strategy instead of targeting the people who they know or suspect of being terrorists are causing bad things they're expecting everyone to be a terrorist and that of course is not true so really what we're doing is we're offering a service that allows people to to find the truth i mean really what's happening is people can't they're getting their e-mails blocked they're getting things censored and this is a way to get through that get around it and you know most ninety nine point nine percent of the usage on a service like ours is going to be i'd say substantially it's going to be innocent usage so should you shut down ninety nine point nine percent of the world just because point one percent are bad people i don't think so we're actually getting calls from friends of mine who run businesses that store data for large multinational companies consumers are demanding this this is what's driving it's not about just me thinking it's a good idea for marketing or that we're going to find all the fringe paranoid

people everybody wants privacy for their data how in the latest revelations which we reported on our website the n.s.a. is apparently collecting hundreds of millions of e-mails and instant messages contacts from users address books plus check with us on twitter for instant updates on the constantly unfolding surveillance scandal. right to see. first street. and i would think that you're. on our reporters but. now the united states is only two days away from financial collapse unless

lawmakers can strike a budget deal to avoid default rival democrats and republicans have been stuck in a loop for over two weeks with most government work cripple and he's now reports on the deadlock that could spark a domino effect around the world. this self-inflicted shutdown is causing panic around the world as washington scrambles to avoid default the global economy is at risk of being thrust back into recession well at home millions will have to cut their losses either way deal or no deal businesses that were unable to work at full capacity public sector contracts which will see delays and payment and unemployment which is already on the rise due to the shutdown but possibly the most ironic thing about this government shutdown now in its third week is that it's not saving money it's costing america at least one hundred sixty million dollars a day and given the crisis has entered its fifteenth day the overall cost could be as much as two and a half billion dollars and that number of course is expected to grow and the

political debate is hampering a rise in the debt ceiling but also leaving sick americans out in the cold for each week of the shutdown hundreds of patients cannot be accepted for treatment at the national institutes of health including cancer patients seventy five percent of the staff is not working because of the shutdown and it's the patients in need of medical treatment that are suffering veterans are outraged at the closing of public parks and war monuments due to this shutdown the government has run out of cash to pay some eight hundred thousand federal workers during the deadlock over the weekend thousands came out in d.c. and stormed the barricades at a world war two memorial calling for the government to stop using veterans as political pawns in this battle for the budget while another group of retired military personnel are set to protest here in washington d.c. this week again starting their rally at that war memorial the department of veterans affairs is seeing the backlog

a disability disability claims grow along with the frustration and uncertainty among the military community also prominent faith leaders are set to join locked out workers at republican offices to pray. and march for an end to the suck down they're expected to call attention to each representative stamp on the debt ceiling encouraging them to vote to end this standoff so as the sun down continues we are seeing more and more protests in the capital and more people in different groups demanding the government do their job and get a budget passed while the long lasting shutdown may be frightening for americans but it's the looming default the rest of the world is scared off and here's why while the six point eight trillion dollars in securities held by investors will go to waste undermining trust in the greenback banks would face tremendous losses and cash would once again become scarce for businesses around the world and they'd have

course to let people go boosting unemployment problem that's threatening to paralyze the euro zone which has its own debt to service of more than fifteen trillion dollars economist and former british treasury official neil mccann and believes america's inconsistency has tarnished its reputation. i think that the one of the key problems that american policymakers face is that this ongoing fiscal dysfunction and periodic fiscal crises you'll recall that we were down this road back in two thousand and eleven when america was stripped of its aaa status by standard and poor's and then we had the fiscal cliff at the end of two thousand and twelve big was a real risk of america falling back into economic recession and here we go again with the shutdown and the debt ceiling crisis and i think these periodic crises undermine confidence in u.s. economic policy they undermine confidence in the u.s. dollar as the world's leading reserve currency and if this continues if this

dysfunction continues then over time i think the more nervous investors will be more downside risks with the global financial system more of a chance that the u.s. economy falls into recession which would inevitably have a knock on effect elsewhere in the global economy. will be looking for a reform of the international monetary system and they'll be challenging the role of the dollar as the leading reserve currency. now reducing reliance on the u.s. dollar has been discussed ever since their credit crunch struck back in two thousand and eight later today on r t a kaiser report assesses china as a separation five years on. heaping criticism and caustic ridicule on washington the news agency called the u.s. civilian slayer prisoner torture and meddler and others affairs and said the pax americana was a failure on all fronts well i mean china should walk the walk instead of just talking the dogs kicked out mcdonald's kicked out kentucky fried chicken kicked out

coca-cola they're making your citizens obese and you're getting diabetes so you know they talk the talk but will try to walk the walk simultaneously and they say they want to d.m. merican eyes the world here's a here's a country that has huge exposure to exports to america is the basis for their merc until this rise of the twenty first century why would they be cutting the nose off to spite their face unless they're ready to come out and say we've got enough gold at this time to cut the dollar loose. now there are security concerns in moscow where thousands of muslims are gathering for one of his most holy days it a lot marks the end of hodge which is the annual pilgrimage to the city of mecca well here in russia it's also known as kurbaan by rom but it comes in the wake of sunday's massive protests in the capital are just going to check out has more. assenting of moscow's main mosque right behind me thousands of muslims began the

thing so much of the production capacity now exceeds the market by fifty percent and that's when the government found itself in that produces to the cina twenty six billion euro so in a bid to go back the use of solar panels the government decided to attack those who use the you know their way of taxing the very behavior they spent the last decade trying to encourage critics of the proposal say this will damage things progress towards meeting european renewable energy goals and could set a dangerous precedent for other struggling e.u. countries like greece who are rumors to be contemplating a similar tax playings energy regulator agrees and has called the proposed toll economically viable and discriminatory those who have been most blindsided by the idea of people like pedro here invested his money in installing a solar panel in his home. and you taxes they're making it cheaper to buy your

energy from the big companies rather than use the power from your. government target is that the taxes there as those using solar energy still require the use of the conventional energy grids and say this tax will contribute to the cost of maintenance but the solar lobby say the new tax will extend the time it takes for solar panels to pay for themselves from eight to twenty five years as for the fine that could be levied if people like don't pay up well that's being set at a mind boggling thirty million euro i already know people who are removing their solar panels protesters say that's simply to scare people into submission but as to whether it's working for padre. you know. the laws against your rights you have the right to refuse to do with the government tells you i'm going to continue with school or i'm not going to be the
