a breach of trust express frustration with. migrants from africa in the middle east struggle to rebuild their lives on the other side of the mediterranean report from a refugee camp in the heart of. the u.s. policeman who pepper sprayed a group of peaceful protesters. psychiatric damage a ruling that's likely to fuel anger over police brutality.

live from our studio center here in moscow was just a nine pm this is r.t. with you twenty four hours a day the e.u. is showing a mounting frustration with its ally across the atlantic and demanding explanations over the u.s. government's intrusive surveillance practices at the european summit in brussels all eyes have been on the n.s.a. with fresh revelations of spying on european leaders forcing them to reconsider their partnerships with washington while france and germany are demanding talks with the u.s. on this issue by the end of the year the latest n.s.a. leak shows the agency has been eavesdropping on the conversations of thirty five world leaders the e.u. has issued a statement warning that a lack of trust with washington could damage cooperation in intelligence gathering and on top of that germany has decided to team up with brazil which is also targeted by the n.s.a. to push for a u.n. resolution restraining u.s.

surveillance a lot he says recently has more now on the discontent in brussels. up to about thirty five world leaders were being spied on by the national security agency or the n.s.a. they were actually encouraging senior officials in various government departments like the white house the state department to share those contacts of important or individuals in the world in order to be added to that list that surveillance lists and also what's interesting to note in the latest leaker by edward snowden is that the acknowledgment in that document that all of this extensive spying has produced very little quote unquote very little reportable intelligence and that really is where the debate is whether all of this could be justified in judging from the op war coming from leaders here in europe but they don't seem to be very convinced they issued a statement that they said that this distrust of the u.s. could jeopardize or prejudice any good necessary call for ration needed in intelligence gathering we already know they're being called by any pieces and spend the terrorist finance trucking program we know this is very important for both for both parties and also france and germany having

a cold for talks with the united states in fact asking for new rules new surveillance rules a no spying agreement by the end of the year and asking other members even worse to join the initiative if they want to do was well senior german officials will be on their way to the white house very shortly to discuss this as a german chancellor angela merkel was very upset with the a suspicion that her phone was being monitored that's going up another level as well this is an issue in this they have by germany and brazil also they want to oppose a draft u.n. resolution to restrain foreign spying activities basically it doesn't directly touch on the n.s.a.'s activities nor will it necessarily directly be activities of the n.s.a. but it does call for an expansion of international privacy rights it must be noted that this trap had already existed before the internet but this time germany and brazil wanted to be specifically applied to all communications and there is no question about why they're pushing this initiative it is certainly the displeasure

that they've have towards the u.s. over the n.s.a. spying activities. or spain or some of the u.s. ambassador over the latest reports of n.s.a. eavesdropping on its officials including the prime minister but laws spoke to him a little earlier he's from the u.k. pirate party he says e.u. leaders never showed the same concern over snooping on their own citizens revelations of the monitoring of world leaders phones and showed the breathtaking double standards of our ruling elite suddenly when it's a case of calls. telephone being tapped then we have the likes of kiefer speaking out and saying it's a real scandal when actually when it's a case of ordinary citizens that's what the real scandal is the real scandal is the true extent of mass surveillance in the e.u. and of course beyond but it's obviously creating real dead diplomatic tension and

while the commotion he does not british prime minister david cameron has avoided direct criticism of u.s. spying antics is actually pointed the finger at snowden those publishing the n.s.a. leaks accusing them of undermining security and some reports suggest he was actually pressured into signing the e.u. statement expressing concern over u.s. surveillance laws believes that the prime minister is failing to defend his country's interests on this issue what's been clear is that david cameron is not willing to speak up in defense of britain and the british people when it comes to mass surveillance and indeed we've seen the extent of g.c. h.q.'s collusion with the n.s.a. for example in the tempore a program and we've seen massive harvesting of the data through the fiber optic cables so i'm afraid we need to start to take responsibility in the united kingdom all despite the e.u. expressing its growing discontent with washington's skeptics say these concerns are likely to go beyond formal statements u.n.

diplomat earlier explained why. under the long jar and a few weeks after the meat year gone down the big issue it will just go on business as usual that is my expect this live on not that any real measure of it will remain states of mental problem. and we're closely following the spying fallout over on our website r.t. dot com with detailed updates and analysis. immigration is another issue rearing its head of the e.u. summit at the moment in brussels hundreds of africans drowned in the mediterranean sea earlier this month trying to reach european shores an overcrowded boat government in southern europe are demanding more help from the rest of the e.u. to cope with the inflow of migrants artie's peter out of a met some of the people who fled their homelands. we have feed we are not anymore we have feeling we all want to be jobless homeless and thousands of kilometers from

a year more than five hundred from all over sub-saharan africa being packed into this camp in the german capital i don't. know how you put it if they'd been working in libya when colonel gadhafi was toppled in the nato backed war the documents these people have gives them access to basic medical care nothing else mentions it in now in berlin and it's up to germany to find a solution to their problems we're trying to get them residents grammont so for now there is no long term solution they have no right to work no right to social housing and are forced to live on handouts there's a feeling in the camp that e.u. members who took part in the twenty eleven action against libya have a responsibility to help i see this is a problem or do appear you do because it's i live alone. i disturb me we. have to go to work today as germany decides what to do they

get ready for a second winter in the city park these people came here because they were fleeing violence but in running for their lives they found themselves stuck in limbo here in the e.u. peter all of a r.t. . r.t. life here in moscow coming up a role reversal in south africa some are fearing a return of apartheid but this time it's the white population that could be on the receiving end of racist policies take a closer look shortly. the first protesters have been taken to the streets across the u.s. this week over what they call an epidemic of police brutality amid all the unrest a policeman has been awarded generous compensation for psychiatric damage after he pepper sprayed a group of peaceful demonstrators when important as this report. the next u.s. law enforcement official to face off against unarmed peaceful protesters may easily

davis student we spoke with expressed shock over the lucrative board doled out for police brutality. what the pepper spray led to was not following orders and they wanted us to be an example for what you shouldn't do as a student and they wanted to put fear into people and it pretty much worked i remember after the pepper spray happened i went home and was deeply afraid of ever protesting again the police. stop on the road maybe for a moment awarded later if people are like he got money and like that was a good thing when really he would stop putting like trauma and fear and weapon on other incidents of police brutality extend from the west all the way to the east coast of the united states. a month here in new york city police officers attacks students who are protesting a visiting professor position given to

on the record but. i. am. it's been exactly a decade since the name. first grabbed the global media's attention russia's then richest man was arrested on charges of fraud and tax evasion and has remained behind bars ever since with almost a year to go before his release the former oil magnate still divides public opinion is kind of explains. he was the richest man in russia and one of the wealthiest in the world while his or company us at one point was the waters in the suddenly in two thousand and three macarthur that of course he was arrested and then found guilty of fraud and sentenced to nine years then in a separate criminal case against him along with his former business partner but
