attention to the ways that some gulag of ours minds. we all feel. so we're all just the u.s. intelligence chief suggests there's nothing wrong about speaking on world leaders while the e.u. is being criticized well i'm doing enough to rein washington is just spineless revealed. tightening the screws of london food security on the line threatening to set a high in level intelligence ties with scotland if it was hoping to bandits. odds that pakistani victims of a cia drone strike travelled to the you asked the representative behind that visit calls on congress to acknowledge as long a body can't handle security problems and so. on the canadian count they said some of the walls frogs digital currency a.t.m.

. coin is a cryptic current state taking the line world still. international news and comment line for most criticism see with me your national problem thanks for joining it's. it's ok to spying that's apparently the view of the u.s. intelligence james clapper testifying in front of a senate panel he said that collecting and analyzing the intentions of foreign leaders is needed is indeed america's major focus the latest leaks a chance the german chancellor angela merkel was on the target list and the country's delegation is in washington to question american officials on this the level of n.s.a. time to phone calls from ordinary people is thought to be massive as well with

hundreds of millions of calls intercepted monthly across europe and joining me now live is. is about due ranchers a belgian politician and a p. and a member of the party ms duran welcome to our seas great to see you're here with us so it's been several months now since the u.s. elites have emerged that they spied on leaders in the europe why why is it only now that e.u. politicians are so if you are is about it but of course we knew it before but know what it's new it's a real strategy of you is not only a broader strategic although the capacity of spying also for all the citizens books fool us for us for example the mobile phone of mr smith goes through i think that it's of course a real discussion between. you. and i think that we have to see to do you with

this stop no we suspend the negotiation regarding. the true discussion between. you have to have clarity on this issue first of all it's not normal that you are spying and then you discuss on the trade union of trade agreements so that's the reaction of you we have also to protect or private those that are for all the european citizens but it's not only usa because i heard this morning on the radio that it's the case also for russia because between doing the g twenty mr of are all receive the gift like it's the case in all the circumstances and the u.s.b. key that he received could be. a spying device so it means that it's a global strategy not only are you with this thought it may be also

a chinese or an indian strategy so we have to discuss on it on international level and to protect all self in order to have a more clear we'll ation she between us of course is global indeed but this saying europe's reaction as you say to these revelations has been and not make at the you asked crowd it's a surveillance programs now i think that the reaction of you know you opinion it's not enough we cannot only only say or disapprove we will see you know we have to say in our relationship with usaid we spent the relationship especially the discussion between trade agreement discussion it's a capacity of assigned in order to say to the us say no we don't accept what you do with the suspect question so i think that the reaction was too low. the us intelligence chief has suggested that spying and world leaders is

a normal saying do you think it is. normal not normal i know and i know that it's a way to do very classic but i think that in the middle of they were world as today we are not in the past with the dividing of the world in some blocks we are the military after all are relationships so we have to change our ways. and also all way to spy because it's not normal in multilateral relationships rinds and also when our german delegation is in washington right now to find out the motives behind the n.s.a.'s spying on angela merkel what well this mission achieved from your point of view. but the german mission but also there is a european mission i know in washington they are discussing on all those issues of course i don't have the results but i think that it's important that european and german together could discuss with. the authorities on you as

a level in order to explain that we don't accept like that such a spying so i think that all those question of that protection and spying if to be discussed and to be clarified it is about to run about and politician and a.p. and member of the party and there's duran thank you very much indeed for your time we appreciate it. now a red line to green energy in the u.k. coming up later in the program the majority of the population voted down believing the benefits failed to overweight the aggravating tax burden. but let's talk about britain in a different perspective london will block scotland from sharing its high level intelligence if it was to become independent next here the british home secretary

has warned this could pose a problem for scotland but also for the security of the u.k. and smith is aware that i right now hi there laura lovely to see how serious could this be for one independent scotland. well there is this is a report as you say that's been released by the home secretary theresa may and she says that any scottish independence words undermine the fight against organized crime cyber attacks terrorism things like that because scotland would have to build up its own security infrastructure that would no longer necessarily have access to intelligence that comes from the u.k. or indeed from other countries that currently. information so scotland would have to build up its own infrastructure while it was doing that there would be holes in the defense system for everybody scotland's plan it says we don't need your army anyway its plan is to build up its own three armed forces an organization like m i

five an organization like g c h q but also just two point five billion pounds which is fourteen times less than the u.k. has to spend on its defense budget but the scottish national party has said that it's ok declaring independence for scotland would reduce the risk of terrorist attacks because it says that as part of its independence plan it would get rid of the nuclear arsenal on its submarines and it would also not take part in any more what it calls illegal wars so the peace alex salmond's constantly talking about how he would never have taken part in the war in iraq for example the reason may says that wouldn't make any difference because some terrorists just hate the west so a lot of to ing and fro ing here right but why has london made this decision. well it's really the latest in a series of kind of threats and speculations both sides of this the scottish

national party in scotland and the parliament here in westminster have been tapping into these kind of emotive issues so yes and he uses these age old rivalries between between the u.k. of scotland between england and scotland and also taps into this nationalist sentiment meanwhile the westminster parliament which obviously wants the u.k. to stay together guus thought stuff like this in the past it said or if scotland declares independence you won't necessarily be able to use the pound anymore you might have to apply to join the euro you probably wouldn't be automatically in the european union in nato so this is just another one of those things if you do if scotland declares independence it will be worse off says the westminster parliament scotland though has already called this irresponsible it says it's politicizing security and antiterrorism and scottish national party member has called this project fear but we should look out for more than this because of course there's a vote for the referendum on independence in scotland will be held in less than

a year on the eighteenth of september next year so both sides are going to be ramping up in terms of what it's going to mean for for the u.k. and for scotland but at the moment as things stand independence doesn't look likely for scotland only a third of people in scotland in the latest poll would vote for independents. laura smith laura thank you very much indeed for that. bitcoin be experimental online currency is now a global one complete with its own and so far only a.t.m. the first machine has been set up in a cafe in vancouver where people can exchange digital money for physical cash but you're probably asking yourselves awards are bitcoins and in the simplest terms is just a currency but an online one bitcoins us. in web while it's a completely anonymous lacking even you name the transactions are public but coins

can be sent from one wallets to another have a click of a button and in most cases with no fees or delay the system bypasses banks middlemen and governments what's more bitcoins can be easily it's sold for any currency bailable whether it be dollars or euros they downside being that they exchange rates volatile and finally they come from the process is called bitcoin mining and consists of computers running special programs to try to rate a steady flow of currency and jeffrey albert tako from the foundation for economic education calls the current his rise simply spectacular a year ago this time i thought it was insane but this is just another student technology you know they come along every few days and they slam our so i'm a fairly recent convert the more i look into it the more confident i'm getting that the future monetary system is crude cryptography and this kind of crypto market

based currency it's quite spectacular and i tell you it only takes a few times you simply realize this is incredibly easy it's much much easier than credit cards and there's no danger of fraud or identity theft all these other things that come with the old fashioned credit card system it's just pure technology and bitcoin exchanges i mean brokers have popped up all over the world even china's largest search engine now accepts payments in the digital currency and we're also told it could well become a major player let's listen. really it's funny that to be an alternative currency and there's no reason why it can't itself become a means of capping that calculation so you can do your accounting that in fact people do this all the time and you can enter into the credit because fear and live a wonderful life meaning that you can bypass government currency entirely that the u.s. is now restricting what's called money exchange businesses so there's so much high

cost associated with a.t.m.'s it doesn't surprise me that it started in canada rather than the us the us would lose out if it continues this trend towards regulating cryptocurrency. it may be popular and in demand but bitcoin has had more than its fair share of controversy and ted commence money laundering can sadness and shady online activities have sent its price soaring collapsing and recovering again the latest incident so and of be a raid on silk road and online course takes marketplace that dealt in a bit coins and show a demo to each of big client office at bitcoin e.-x. talks to my colleague kevin allen. we've got any money laundering policy in place where we limit users to three thousand dollars per day every transaction you make is recorded on a public ledger your name isn't it but if somebody wants to find out who is making that transaction it can be done the silk road is a perfect example of the shutting down the silk road and the black market.

and actually shut down which is actually a very good thing for the currency as a whole as a lot of people associate associate big one just directly with the silk road and so since it's been shut down the currency did dip about ten percent for both twelve dollars and since then people realize that it's not just about the black market and it's actually a legitimate currency and it's actually got off one hundred percent since then. and you can find out more now because of y. x. and y. it has been such a monumental controversy that's how websites. and are coming up later in the program based out of the sochi countdown and tis the homestretch reginald's boxes being takes off. as planks upon the one hundred day mark until the winter games opening ceremony after the break.

if we look at the history of the l.p.c. w.n. it's engagements in the past with the united states there is a history of let's say intimidation on many collation of whatever you call it if indeed we find that president assad is lying or cheating and i don't feel that he will do that because his life is really on the line in the life of the whole regime then of course then i think a military strike could take place. well see british science done. time to. go to.

market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser reports. this is all seen welcome bonk and justice seeking journey of thousands of miles for the surviving members of a pakistani family who endured a cia drone a time has culminated in that testimony in front of a u.s. congressman the strike killed their grandmother but failed to hit any militants so the victims of the bombing asked lawmakers why their home was started in the first place she is going to trick and also been briefing. this was the first time actual victims of u.s. drone strikes were in congress and apart from the congressman who initiated this briefing i saw only four other members of congress it's no secret the u.s.

congress generally approves of drone strikes so it's very difficult to expect the sudden change of heart even though hard was what these drone victims were appealing through one of the over twenty fourth of last year a u.s. drone strike left this pakistani family devastated the nine year old girl and her thirteen year old brother nearly escaped death that day their sixty seven year old grandmother was killed vegetables in the garden. i no longer love blue skies i prefer a gray skies the drones do not fly when the skies are gray and for a short period of time the mental time and fear eases but when this kind of run the drones return and so does the fear you know this family is that. when abroad out of their home in north waziristan and the father of this family said he looked at the life around here in d.c. he wished his children too would be able to walk the streets not afraid of being bombed that in a moment. my mother was killed my children were injured i'm so glad that people are

going to hear our story that's why we came to america they have no idea why our village in my house was targeted. the family came to washington of course hoping to get answers to why they have to live in fear every day i have no idea why my grandmother was killed when the drone hate i was outside with my grandmother everything became dark i was scared so i started to run then i noticed my hand was bleeding so i tried to clean my hand but not kept coming out but i was very scared so i just kept running. we also learned that the u.s. government did not grant peace or to the lawyer of this family prominent practice any lawyer who has sued the cia in the past on behalf of the victim so brown strikes in pakistan four hundred fifty thousand population of more. is actually living in a concentration camp they're being picked for this is off what kind of blow to the sean has long been for someone driving. s.u.v.s and this is how they being targeted

and at the same time they're not really in a position to leave the area the purpose of this briefing was to put a human face to drone strikes there's a four chance that in congress the tragedy of this family will fall on deaf ears but there is hope that the public will take notice in washington i'm going to check out. one of the toughest opponents of america's drone u.s. house of representatives member alan grayson is the man behind the visit of the iran family to his country speaking to has said he believes the pakistani army is completely capable of handling militants itself. as the third largest recipient of military aid from the united states and year after year receives approximately a billion dollars in aid why ask yourself why are we doing this when there are alternative means that come nowhere close to doing this kind of harm to innocents

and inflaming on foreign public opinion for instance given the fact that we are giving a billion dollars you know pakistan when we have the pakistani army arrest the one hundred or two hundred or even five hundred militants that we believe could possibly one day pose some kind of threat to the united states. britain may have a reefing going green and a true sense a survey claims two thirds of its citizens are again is directly propping up the known competitive industry the so-called green lever is make up a hefty part of every challenger bills and a holy predicted to snowball if the u.k. proceeds with program policies on his point of boycott reports now from london. talking about the weather may be a british for you bill but nowadays it can make or break a household budget winter is setting in as our announcement that energy prices things rise yes again now roughly ten percent of the u.k.'s average household energy bill is made up of so-called green taxes and the prime minister david

cameron has pledged to do away with them in order to help out struggling brits the ideas proved popular for a country battling with austerity according to recent poll by savation some sixty percent of brits object to having to shell out for the green levies are concerned about it for but first the world you know sold about what it is cost to wait and see if it's right things cheaper things do go to a very small prefer the very concept of profit is an option really which is to tax it more be well spun deliver said let's see bills come down defeat us rush out of a doubt opposition leader ed miliband says the green levy's aunt to blame for britain's high energy prices for the government. it showed that green taxes adds one hundred twelve pounds to the average household energy bill in the u.k. now roughly half that money goes toward supporting cleaner greener energy such as solar panels like the ones like a tit on the roof of london's blackfriars train station but as the latest survey

shows for the brits counting the pennies to keep warm this winter concern for the environment is going to have to come in second from now. r.t. london. the wait for the start of the twenty four seen such a winter olympics has crossed the one hundred day long the games clocks in the russian capital. bar with a swish they're counting down the home stretch. the preparations are continuing we are at the port building in sochi for the unveiling of the uniform that is going to be worn by the volunteers cheering the game it's a multi-faceted multi-colored designed set to represent the eighty three regions of russia on wednesday the international olympic committee to begin a two day conference a bi annual conference on sports on the environment is designed to raise awareness of green issues and finally early on tuesday the i.o.c.

a recent article in the economist magazine ticket one step further suggesting that rather than further investment in places like middlesbrough or burnley and whole decaying towns and cities should be left behind it's true that economically britain remains a deeply divided country but with all this talk of failing towns and cities we thought we'd come and speak to some of the people who actually live in and find out what they have to say about settle and say we've come to the market town of burnley in lancashire in the north west of the country. so. people services. friendly and. needs help i'm going to leeds. here. because i don't envy your. local opinion might be divided but burnley
