12:01 am
just after eight o'clock on saturday morning here in moscow it's on t.v. with me rule research. news team welcome to today's program october has become the bloodiest month in iraq in five years the data from the country's interior ministry the defense and health ministries as well putting the death toll at nine hundred sixty four people that's almost ninety percent of them being civilians and according to the government the number hasn't been this high since april two thousand and eight when more than a thousand were killed by the numbers don't quite correspond with the findings of the u.n. which puts july as the bloodiest this year but whatever the figures it's clear the country is facing an increasing security problem and no surprise then the iraqi prime minister is currently in washington asking for help let's get more now from. joining us live here on the program good morning to you all the way from moscow any results from his visit so far. well we know that the
12:02 am
iraqi leadership has made a request for u.s. assistance in the fight against terror we don't know the details of that request the leaders wouldn't elaborate on that iraqi prime minister called al qaeda a quote a scourge of iraq in the middle east the iraqi prime minister has arrived in washington as you said in the month that turned out to be the deadliest in the last five years for the such a repetitive phrase the deadliest month in iraq for this many years said we hear it all the time the fact is the following that following the u.s. invasion in two thousand and three terrorism is skyrocketed in iraq the sectarian war that broke out as a result of the u.s. invasion has created a great environment for terrorists the iraqi prime minister says it's getting worse because he says as a result of the so-called arab revolutions there is a power vacuum in the region which extremist forces take advantage of he specifically spoke about syria and the situation is there of course a and of course even though you rocks and we all mali key knows what the u.s.
12:03 am
invasion has led to in his country he can't be too critical of washington because after all in a way it's things to the west that he is now in power. well certainly you don't see is going there to kind of live in washington thank you know a political analyst. says the level of violence has recently spiked across the entire middle east region. the prime minister of iraq one he made that call i think what he means by it is providing intelligence. and support to because he fears that the spillover from syria is affecting the level of violence in iraq and the level of violence in iraq as a whole has increased because of that but the reality is the politics of iraq is broken and the violence is is a result of that is not only because iraqi army's weak is just because the. iraqi politics as a whole is dysfunctional that hasn't worked for the last ten years so. i don't
12:04 am
think what's going on in iraq is going to be a risk to the global sort of risk but obviously it's going to be rich to oil markets in the around the world is going to be a risk to the region as the middle east iran and what's going on in syria i mean this could turn sort of this ball from syria and then to iraq and then it can you never know what is going to stop now in the meantime the pakistani taliban has vowed to avenge the death of its leader who has been killed in a u.s. drone strike and a pakistani official say the assassination has directly old peace talks with the militants. in islamabad with the latest details. the official sources has gone from the demerger of. swords and top of his military aides. of course my sword was very important lead to taliban pakistan as he was leading the movement for years the
12:05 am
bounty was on his head around five million dollars that the us has actually has pulled this million or bounty on his head of course has finished all the holds that pakistani were actually putting on. or on with the negotiations with the taliban no i should leave two days back has announced that the negotiations had already started and he has requested actually in his last visit to the u.s. . to stop. on his own his own especially in the tribal area and u.s. and pakistani officials recently praised to the way bilateral relations were developing the latest drone strike will likely tarnish that trend and lead to more killing well it's according to peace activist nora mir. this is an absolute defiance of. on behalf of the u.s.
12:06 am
government of what no washer you've had explicitly stated was necessary for a pox on to take the matter into its own hands and this just seems to be a slap on the face to say your peace talks really do not mean anything to us and it seems to be the us stating that it wants absolutely nothing to do with the pakistani government's stance on this i think the negotiations are going to be put to a halt and we're going to see severe repercussions the last time that the negotiations were on the table there was another drone strike and the pakistani taliban the t.t.p. said they were not going to negotiate any more we're already seeing calls from the from the police on the ground in pakistan tightening up security measures because there probably will end up being some bombs on the ground against innocent pakistani civilians that are caught in the crossfire in the retaliation so we see a regression in terms of in terms of where we could be heading. and talk about taking a bite out of the problem europe's on high alert over
12:07 am
a recent rabies outbreak in france well amid fears it could spill over the border. protection so. we've put ourselves at risk coming up here on r.t. we take a look into how the u.k. is handling disease prevention but expects arguments. will be taking their eyes off the ball those details in a moment. but on the program the us senate committee house. passed a bill to rein in the n.s.a. following the revelations of leaker edward snowden critics say the measure will do quite the opposite. senator feinstein's bill is an effort to codified the n.s.a.'s bulk collection of americans telephone records which is in fact on shaky legal footing right now and there's another program that's being legalized in this bill which has not gotten as much attention as it really should which is the back door searches of international communications and so what has been happening is that the
12:08 am
n.s.a. is allowed under the files and limits act to go collect huge amounts of communications of people who are suspected to be foreigners overseas without any individual warrant because they are foreigners overseas what ends up happening is the n.s.a. scoops a lot of communications between people overseas and americans and also ends up scooping a lot of purely domestic communications of americans into that pile as well these are all communications americans communications that the n.s.a. would need an individualized order court order or warrant to look at under ordinary circumstances oh another sign of the vaastu of a growing reach of the national security agency is the brand new utah data center but a cool the eye of a crowd of persistent protesters who took over a part of a local highway to demonstrate their outrage at the surveillance practices more important as this. known for its desert climate. and
12:09 am
picturesque mountains utah has long been home to the nation's largest population of mormons today it's also home to america's soon to be biggest spy complex they put it inside of the middle of an army base so you care about be protesting the army to protest the n.s.a. . damn garfield learned his lesson on independence day when police prohibited more than a hundred restore the fourth activists from protesting in front of the n.s.a.'s one point five billion dollar data center. shortly thereafter the group thought of a way to claim a two mile long stake right next to the n.s.a. they keep on trying to kick us out for being here why don't we just adopt a highway and we can come in we can clean up in the coming weeks a big sign will be placed right here that says we're store the fourth you tom and for each day that employees report to work at the data center they will pass by
12:10 am
this sign reminded of the public distrust of the n.s.a. and its ever expanding surveillance programs r t four members will be required to clean the highway at least three times a year but many activists like lorraine a potter plan on being outside the data center much more often armed with an anti n.s.a. picket sign they believe that it is their place to take in harvest all of our information the fourth amendment to the us constitution guarantees the right to be secure from unreasonable search and seizure. r t four was born into a nationwide grassroots movement after whistleblower edward snowden revealed how the n.s.a. spies on its own citizens as well as foreigners world leaders and even the vatican we're never going to be able to reverse this if we don't speak up if we don't say something if we don't get people aware of what's being. so what's being done inside the utah data center according to reports the surveillance
12:11 am
complex will be filled with servers routers and computer intelligence experts working to intercept capture and analyze vast quantities of the world's communication. or other after buildings back there the secrets inside the data center are heavily protected by fences the national guard and countless warning signs that overlooks the whole valley and it kind of is almost like a symbolic overwatch of the populace it makes your paranoid. r.t. . some though are taking measures into their own hands in a bid to beat the n.s.a. by creating an innovative new spy proof platform phillip zimmermann the president and co-founder of silent circle explains how its company aims to curb e-mail surveillance through the portion of the data we're trying to restore the
12:12 am
privacy that we feel that has been lost by pervasive surveillance email is intercepted by intelligence agencies all around the world and we've discovered through the snowden revelations that. our own government is spying on its own citizens who it's turned all americans into foreigners as if we were. you know intelligence targets we can make everything surveillance proof but what we can do is try to reduce the amount of exposure of e-mail metadata that's the data that says what the man who is from the who wants to the date and time and these days the method data in the mail header is is really important for being able to surveil a society and see who's talking to who. and in the meantime the controversy continues over the people who allow the revelations to happen a british authorities have claimed the partner of glenn greenwald the journalist
12:13 am
who closely was working with edward snowden was involved in terrorism and espionage david miranda was detained at heathrow airport in august question for nine hours his belongings were seized among the things with materials supplied by edward snowden the authorities claimed he knowingly carried objects that if released could endanger people's lives a miranda has filed a legal action against the british government seeking the return of his possessions and the review of the legality of his detention well here at r.t. would love to know what you think about the ongoing n.s.a. scandal you can always log onto our website r.t. dot com and participate in our latest web poll and let's bring up the numbers for you here on the program today we are asking you given the stream of n.s.a. spy revelations since june what impact will further leaks have also for the majority believing that politicians will make more noises about respecting previous see but do nothing to rein in the government snooping almost a quarter say they will see a rise in social resistance to n.s.a.
12:14 am
practices such as the recent stop watching us march in washington and a thirteen percent now feeling that nothing will happen at all with people getting used to war the expos aids and there are no surprises left and down to the very bare minority now thinking a sincere discussion of surveillance practices will take place and steps will be taken to ensure the privacy is prioritized a very optimistic one of the end have your say online at r.t. dot com. well the n.s.a. spying scandal is already costing america's telecommunications giants a pretty penny across the atlantic expansion plans of the country's leading provider and now up in the air over his direct involvement in u.s. eavesdropping operations more details just a click away at all right now. plus the chinese confusion between switzerland and sweden the country's consulates have come up with a rather funny solution to explain which is which the details on the website right now.

12:21 am
is not as concerned perhaps as it should. nowadays every man and his dog can travel to the u.k. can you imagine the price of every friendly animal you meet imagine rabies in britain back when this public information video was made westminster's fear of rabies was so high that any animal coming into the country had to enjoy six months in quarantine first rabies is a killer we must keep rabies out but the rules were relaxed last year when britain was forced to join the european union's pet travel scheme. it's really like the razor system these dogs have come a lot from brazil rambo of way vietnam and thailand they all need to be quarantined upon entry to the u.k. but pets coming in from europe and some other countries are exempt all they need is a pet possible and a microchip. since the scheme started there has been seven hundred fifty one cases

of rabies in animals and remain here and three hundred ninety five in poland the latest case of the disease was in holland there was no longer the requirement for a blood test and a six month wait which means that a dog can be vaccination be within the u.k. within three weeks which bears no resemblance to the integration theory easy's so those who work with animals say that angry at the government's failure to challenge the e.u. directive and safeguard the u.k. and saudi weak europe are doing and everything europe that seems to say we seem to have to we're not protecting ourselves we seem to decide in the slot sights and sounds we've put ourselves at risk this approach is owners take her in and out of the u.k. on a regular basis this is what her e.u. pet possible looks like but campaign to say that less so easy to forge the number of dogs being smuggled into the u.k. illegally has increased by four hundred percent since the rules were relaxed.
12:23 am
that dog can be brought into the country go into a house mix in the park with other dogs is such was a carrier they mix those policy known throughout the runnable then you've got an outright travelogue all for it cools absolute devastation the department for environment food and viral affairs says the risk of a dog with rabies entering the u.k. is still extremely low but animal charities disagree several have already said that they're stocking up on rabies vaccines in order to protect best. london's are about to be us now with the recent controversy within the senate over america's spying activities is also under the spotlight in breaking this and so since senator dianne feinstein a change of heart this week which went from being a cheerleader for the n.s.a. to calling for a top to bottom review of the agency in the wake of a spying on allies leak and just yesterday feinstein put forth a bill that will lead to the reform the spy agency's surveillance practices but
