8:02 am
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 him and so there's now this comes out following the revelations of just how much germany was spied on a sponsor by the n.s.a. and british secret service is all of this coming out from the the leaks that edward snowden revealed to you to various media outlets in fact just to sum up how much germany was spied on one leak that was revealed in news magazine in june of this year showed it's around a million e-mails phone calls and text messages were intercepted in germany in the for each month the announcement by the telecoms actually probably prompted all the major operators to say that they want to follow suit vodafone among them as well
8:03 am
as 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 spy use. the n.s.a. scandal has also shaken the credibility off a dot com domain artie's like sea or ship ski talked to the chief of the major malaysian investment firm who moved all his data to russia's dot are you zone and sees this as a start of a global exodus. we hear. from proof we 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 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 sort of are. appropriate for this reality congress over the lucian it's time to wake up. chris can't see those company provides encrypted internet services is also shifting his servers from the us to iceland he thinks there is more than just privacy at stake 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 crossing bad things there they're expecting everyone to be a terrorist and that of course is not true it's a cat and mouse game and you know the bad people and i'm not telling the government centers the bad people here i'm just saying that there are people who would like to steal bank account information and so forth and so on and when when people build intentionally bill back doors and weaken or is into certain systems it's only a matter of time before the bad people find those and so what will happen is
8:05 am
they'll be exploited that's why you have to change the locks like changing the locks on the door of your apartment. well in our t. dot com we're reporting on how the n.s.a. gets its hands on your friends list on social networks along with other personal contact data and don't forget to check out our twitter feed for the latest updates on the story. well after two weeks of government paralysis u.s. senators say they're close to restoring state functions and authorizing war boring well they've got two days left to do so or risk a fold that would likely trigger a global crisis on top of that is or he isn't he's now he tells us the public mood is getting ugly. this self-inflicted shutdown is causing panic around the world as washington scrambles to avoid default the global economy is at risk of being forced 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
8:06 am
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
8:07 am
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. in march for an end to the shutdown they're expected to call attention to each representative down on the debt ceiling encouraging them to vote to end this standoff so as the shutdown continues we are seeing more and more protests in the capital and more people in different groups
8:08 am
demanding the government do their job and get a budget passed. now there may be programs but it's not all good the deal being talked about now wouldn't resolve the crisis but rather kick the can down the road setting the scene for another budget showdown early next year more on this now with mr jim rogers author of street smarts adventures on the road and the markets jim thank you so much for joining us here today r.t. to discuss this well look even if there is no deal to raise the debt ceiling in two days the u.s. treasury has got tens of billions of dollars in reserve and some are saying that you know america's economy still has time what's your take. do you think they're going to kick the can down the road for a few more days arena we've been kicking the can down the road prince six years in america i do you think we've got. we're the largest debtor nation in the history of the world we've got to do something about every year that goes by a rino we go to. somebody's got to solve this problem one way or the ok but how
8:09 am
can it be solved i mean the senators are now saying that they've got a solution temporary fix is what they say that will last for a few months but what happens after that i mean it all seems like a do now something but think later approach. well that's exactly right you use the word temporary think that's what it is marina that you know this is happening a team time in the last thirty years so they continue to do the same thing they say ok we've got a compromise solution and the next thing you know two or three years later we're right back where we started except it's much higher every time. they can keep doing this and they have been doing it for thirty years but marina eventually the market's going to say we don't want to but it is getting many more we're not going to list you money at any price and america will then go in and decline just as has
8:10 am
happened in the u.k. and spain and many other countries over the past two or three hundred years or now let's look back a few years to two thousand and eight final global financial crisis and some analysts were saying back then when america sneezes the whole world has a cold so i mean is this a similar situation now what happens to the countries that have their assets and dollars how are they affected. maria this is all a temporary little game that they're playing and why should people have got dollars and not affected oh i would hope they would be i wish that some might think what this something real would come out of this but at the moment. you should not be paying attention i know many of your journalists you've got to ask people what you're in you've got to report it but i mean people who are real investors are not paying too much attention to this because nothing's going to come up well you know president obama short while there was talk about america's exceptionalism and it looks like the exceptionalism expands the financial fear is well i mean is this
8:11 am
ride or is it time now to move away from the dollar as you know the major reserve currency. many people the world. mr obama said we were an exceptional country because. over the past two thousand years little bit of. many people in the world yes we are an exceptional country right now with the largest debtor nation in the history of the world marina. and we're going to pay the price down the road and all of our creditors and all of the people doing business with us are two with the largest economy in the world. and we're not solving our problems well but you know what's the way out of this i mean is there a lot of the end of the tunnel so to speak i mean the budget and showdowns are becoming an annual saying. solution take an axe
8:12 am
take a chainsaw and cut spending are they going to do it absolutely not you see what's happening in washington right now. they will come out a few days and they will announce everything is ok no. problem two three from now. and we'll be back at the same place we are now. because the debt will be worse and countries to america and really you know that russia china. we've got to do something else we cannot keep putting money into u.s. dollars u.s. government on this thing is going to i'm not the only one who knows that many other countries. we have to find an alternative to the u.s. because these guys are not so. great to have you with us jim rogers and mr nasr thank you so much for being with us here in our thank you my pleasure. now
8:13 am
international leaders financial hounds or even religious figures have all urged washington to and the impasse economist and former british treasury official neil mcmakin believes america's inconsistency as tarnished its reputation. i think that the one of the key problems that american policymakers face is that this ongoing for school 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 were big was a real risk of america falling back into an 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
8:14 am
dysfunction continues then over time i think the more nervous investors will be more downside risks for 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 international investors 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 the nobel prize winning group and charge of a rating syria of chemical weapons has words of praise for us since government. calls for short cease fire periods to allow inspectors to get to dangerous conflict areas and destroy the deadly stockpiles and. paying for rays struggling spaniards are said to be landed with another tax this diamond solar power as the government scrabbles to replenish its coffers and that's coming up
