the n.s.a. surveillance scandal sparks an exodus from the dot com domain and a global push to shield sensitive data from government spies paul so. the american people are furious businesses are enraged and the world economy is held hostage but for lawmakers in washington it's career over condrey less than forty eight hours remain for the united states and the deadlock and avoid defaulting on its seventeen trillion dollar debt. and an uneasy celebration in moscow as over one hundred thousand muslims gather for one of islam skoal these days this fall sunday's violent asyik rioting provoked by the fatal stabbing of a russian man. this

is already coming to you live from moscow marina joshie welcome to the program now america's national security agency could soon see the global surveillance powers stoned it as foreign governments and firms move to bolster their cyber to fans as brazil's leading the charge with an encrypted e-mail service while germany's biggest telecom company is planning to reroute users data away from the n.s.a.'s grasp are just bitter all over explains. 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 in service 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 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 for each month the 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. was how discuss this with andy miller maduna founder of bug planet die info we get ex-partners website thank you so much any for joining us here in r.t. to discuss this so do you think dr telecom's decision could inspire other companies to follow suit. well absolutely it does make sense to a look at all possibilities to let's say take over control again over the data that countries companies and companies handle however routing the traffic nationally instead of internationally and trying to avoid those places

which you know where the n.s.a. intercepts can be just a very small piece of the solution as obviously and cripps and has proven to be a strong solution if it's done right so encryption is a very important part of what has to be done but i think it is a bit dangerous to consider that the solution can be to we nationalize the internet i'm a big fan of the centralistic insulation so if you have an e-mail from germany today to germany obviously it doesn't have to go through the u.k. but this is not suitable or this is not a solution for global business and it's not a solution for a global planet so in other words you don't think it's going to be effective then given the fact that as a edward snowden said berlin has been working hand in hand with the n.s.a.

and also you know no matter what precautions telecom companies take or measures to in fact protect the privacy of their subscribers i mean isn't the annecy capable of bypassing all these routes. well i would say like this unfortunately in germany we have a situation that the trust we receive of our foreign and interior intelligence service watching their high level of cooperation with the national security agency and with the british government communications headquarter. does not make them trustworthy at all so if they can intercept the stuff. they might hand it over in bargain to the americans which is not helpful so this means that what is to be done is to ensure on whatever level in whatever country that encryption for the end user is becoming available like easy to use and as a standard too because you also send your post

a letter in an envelope and so should you do with your emails. well you know let's take a look at the situation from both sides on the one hand we have the privacy of citizens that has of course to be respected but on the other there are some companies who are fighting so hard to protect their privacy i mean doesn't that you know give us a cause for concern that they have something to hide some skeletons in the closet as they say. well i mean the point is that obviously we have seen now insulators of the united states' national security agency attacking our so carriers in europe as we've seen with dot com we have seen things that have nothing to do with terrorism i was fighting terrorism and they have a lot to do with power again and with knowing everything about other countries about business about embassies about other countries government as we also see with

the brazilian presidential interception thing so obviously the thinking that you have nothing to hide is totally wrong in the case that everybody has something to protect and in these days where everything cultural economic political things go over the internet and advance knowledge of a little decision which has for example an impact on stock rates on currencies on country's reputation and so on and this is worth a lot of money and we have not really come to the bottom of we have seen big part of this and this ace approach we see that a lot of money a lot of effort to support internationally to intercept the all communications but we have not yet come to the question who is the customer in the sense of who is the guys ordering these getting products and using that that is still a very interesting question where we come to monetary political and other influences being taken with blackmailing with gray mailing with advanced knowledge

forecast ability about what other people think act and do. you mention an interesting point here saying that it's not a point whether we have something to hide but it's. what we have to protect in that case what's your take on you know the role of america as a global policeman i mean does it have any moral authority to conduct global surveillance. well the point is that i mean we have seen here as i said attacks not passively interception but belgacom was subject to an attack in the sense of there was more were installed in the system there were exploits used the n.s.a. a little relieved took control over the network this cannot be excuse with fighting terrorism at all this obviously was targeting was targeting the european parliament it was targeting the european space control it was targeting this with networks of

a banking network and situations so obviously there is no more real excuse here in the sense of that this has to do with fighting terrorism or. security this is about the global interest of the united states against other european and other peaceful acting countries and democratic organized and as these. all right and evil are magoon founder of bug planet dogs thank you so much for your inputs are. well on our t. dot com we're reporting on how the n.s.a. gets its hands on your friends list 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. after two weeks of government for alice's u.s. senators say they're close to restoring state functions and authorizing war burra

when they've got two days left to do so or risk a default that would likely trigger at global crisis and on top of the ad as are now in now 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 thrust back into recession while at home millions will have to cut their losses either way deal or no deal businesses that were unable to work at full capacity for public sector contracts which will see delays in 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 of 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 south down there expected to call attention to each representative stance 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. so why is the world so concerned about both the u.s. shutdown and a possible default because america's debt is so huge almost every major nation holds some of it well analysts say the biggest danger here is the knock on effect well if the u.s. defaults banks take massive losses in their bonds which are paid for by pensioners savers and investors then if the banks go businesses will fall next as they won't

be getting the loans they need and after that the world economy takes a massive hit starting with america's biggest trade partner the e.u. economist and former british treasury official neil mccann and says that even before any of this unfolds america's already suffered a major loss. 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 it 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

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 internationally 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. and coming up here in r t one good intentions are not enough iran comes up with proposals to mend its relations with world powers but it seems many of them are on the willing to listen that's ahead here on our team and. paying for a raise struggling spaniards are set to be landed with another tax this don solar power as a government scrabbles to replenish its coffers that's coming up after a break here in our.

his thoughts were acco by the top republican on the senate foreign relations committee who thinks congress shipboard employees tough conditions on iran before easing sanctions on a slightly more of beaten out a spokesman for foreign policy chief catherine ashton said this morning that there is a sense of optimism but that it's now time for results professor a new shift hammy of the school of government and international affairs the university of durham joins us now live for more analysis on of the talks thank you so much sir for being here with us on r.t. so first off what hopes do you have for these talks on the back of such negative comments. i'm delighted to be with you i think you know everybody's kind of sitting on their own stall when it comes to these discussions obviously the lawmakers united states of very watered about the direction of travel as indeed are the lawmakers in iran who also have their doubts about the success of

these discussions and also are concerned equally about america's game plan and so in a sense these parties are while not interfering with the process of sounding you know cautionary notes to say that don't push too far don't go too head of your people the public opinion and take a step at a time which is in fact exactly what both parties into iran and in washington have been saying and your mission baroness ashton i think her role is critical in this in providing assurances to the american and iranian side that actually you know if you as he said good faith and build confidence they will be able to find a way through the mud but it is a very muddy field well given the fact that this is the first meeting on the nuclear weapons were there ron after iran elected its new president how significant are they in your opinion. you know i think it is it is enormously important for iran to be putting forward an entirely different persona

if you like. in front of five plus one but also more broadly internationally as well and i think the process of rain gauge mint has begun it was in evidence in new york of course at the u.n. in september and since then it is just merely continued apace the fight that for me says that if for example can speak fluent english and it can gauge with all of the parties concerned is a major bonus for everybody else to be able to talk to these iranian counterpart and also of course remember the president has a very clear mandate in tehran of continuing with their talent and building a relationship that will end the nuclear crisis so so far so good on that front but the devil is in the details and it is where the promise too much already how much more can they promise without undoing their own resolve at home there are people

conservatives into round who have totally no confidence whatsoever in this process much rather wanting to have a confrontational approach to an dissensions so iran is not has got a chance as president and he's trying to push as many thoughts as he can in order to find a way forward for a change the american side is on the same page with the well speaking of the ways forward these think iran will agree to letting the miners in the country and actually letting them see the nuclear facilities as other countries such as it such as the united states for example demand. oh general i don't think that is a major issue because after all as much as iran's nuclear facilities that we know is actually under the i.a.e.a. jurisdiction i.a.e.a. has been mandated by the security council to keep an eye on iran's nuclear activities and report back to the border by every three months and they've been

doing that now for the best part of ten years really and there's never been a question of access it has been ten minutes in the past temporarily as part of the fits that the former president ahmadinejad used to have against europe united states and so on so i should and will have access to as much of iran if you structure as it wishes there are over sensitivities around for do for example this new facility around iraq this this pressurized water reactor heavy water reactor which can generate ultimately plutonium for example and iran has has not said no to access to these but had said that they can be part and parcel of a much much bigger process of discussions that would give your own confidence that opening up its facilities does not leave them open to espionage or worse still a military strike i understand all i know is as rami professor of international affairs of the university of durham thank you so much for your views circle here on our team. to other stories now there as ery

their backyard so moscow thirty's have designated special locations farms where muslims could practice the ritual of a second feis russia is home to around twenty million muslims so a huge muslim community here the celebrations comes days after the riots in moscow's beauty dover district hundreds of people there took to the streets to express their outrage over the killing of a young man hugo shit about politics as well as to express their attitude towards migrants in general it calls have occurred at a local shopping center and at a storage facility police have identified the suspect in due course of murder it's a thirty one year old citizen of by john he allegedly stabbed you bored to death in front of his girlfriend a c.c.t.v. camera captured his face that the residents were outraged by by the murder but along with the residents in a nationalistic group says some of them radical have also picked up on the tragedy

motion sections for dramatic images and food each of the clashes. the number of people living in extreme poverty in spain has doubled in just five years according to a new report from charity groups there around three million spaniards now have to survive in under three hundred seven euros per month while the cost of living continues to climb that's as the number of families were one person is employed has gone up five fold since the start of crisis that's one point eight million households and now the spanish government is set to become the first in europe to tax something that's been free and available to everyone says the dawn of time sunlight majority wants to impose a levy on solar power to help plug good siani energy data sarah ferguson now reports. there's an argument hotting up in spain right now the country still mired

in financial difficulty the government's come up with a rather unusual proposal calling for attacks on solar energy with some spanish cities enjoying an average of three thousand hours of sun each year the nation's been one of the leading providers of solar energy the trouble is they're pretty thing so much that production capacity now exceeds the market by sixty percent and that's when the government found itself in that produces to the cina twenty six billion euro so in a bit the scale back the use or solar panels the government decided to attack those who use the you know their way of taxing the very behavior it's been the last decade trying to encourage critics of the proposal say this damage claims progress towards meeting european renewable energy goals and could set a dangerous precedent for other struggling e.u. countries like greece who are remiss to be contemplating

a similar tax planes energy regulator agrees and has called the proposed toll economically viable and discriminatory. blindsided by the idea of people like pedro he invested his money in installing a solar panel in his home. says they're making it cheaper to buy your energy from the big companies rather than use the power from your panels the government target is that the tax is fair 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 year oh i already know people who are removing their solar panels protesters say that simply to scare people into submission but as to

whether it's working for padre. you know. when the laws against your rights you have the right to refuse to do with the government tells you i'm going to continue with solar and i'm not going to be the talks with such strong resistance across the sunny state spain's government may have a fight on its hands and could be left wondering if the proposed tax is such a bright idea. so if the spain that's next on our terror special report america's so-called exceptionalism and how it affects the rest of the world .
