with islamicist militants softer a u.s. drone killed the leader of the taliban in the country. live from our studios and here in moscow where it's just turned midnight this is. british authorities say the partner of a newspaper reporter who's been publishing edward snowden's leaks was involved in espionage and terrorism and his nation was made in a scotland yard document which is being used as evidence in a london court hearing. closely following the case. now the document was put together it was read pardew's the legal action that david miranda has though and again the british government that's calling for the documents that were taken from him to be returned and questioning indeed the legality of his detention if you cast
4:02 pm
your mind back to the end of august he was detained when he arrived and by the end . question for nine hours and had those documents seized from him sheet that was read in court saying that the intelligence indicated that miranda was likely to be involved in espionage activity and that had the potential to act against u.k. security interests big long green was that was going to be responding saying that they absolutely explicitly now equating terrorism and journalism and of course that is going to be causing huge concern this is part of going to bait here in the u.k. surrounding press freedom at the moment and causing a huge amount of concern just earlier this week we reported on the prime minister david cameron seeming to issue a threats towards newspapers saying that if they didn't show some restraint in publishing information that action would be taken although he said he didn't want to get. the detention in the first place of david miranda
4:03 pm
a journalist carrying that information much of which that's being published already having being shown to be in the public's interest unveiling this information about mass surveillance but consistently seeing the government try to steer the topic and the debate away from this matter the veil admission and on the issue of national security it hearing for dave in the round his legal challenge is should do for next week and jim cookie's executive director of the open write screenplays speak to me little earlier he thinks any suggestion that he's been involved in it to report is just absurd actually saying that this bloke is a terrorist and that's why they're able to arrest him on the terrorist laws and i think most distasteful absolutely insane is equating the journalistic practice of taking leaks documents and looking at them and potentially telling the public about certain things in it with terrorism you can't do that. there was no reason given
4:04 pm
for the investigation launched against me around after his detention in august u.k. authorities said only that they're reviewing the items he was carrying which include fifty eight thousand documents from u.s. and u.k. intelligence james critics as they're breaking their promise not to take advantage of laws to combat terrorism. the governments of the day have always said no no they won't possibly abuse of course they will only ever be used against terrorists and here we see somebody with leaks material who's been very responsible these part of the guardian to be extremely responsible in the handling of this material nobody has been able to say here danger to national security genuinely people are have their lives at risk nobody's been able to show that and said what we've got is police abusing their powers in order to intimidate these people or germany and brazil want the u.n. to do something about excessive electronic surveillance and illegal personal data

4:06 pm
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 we think of and we can clean up in the coming weeks a big sign will be placed right here that says restore the fourth you tom and for each day that employees report to work at the data center they will pass by 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

4:09 pm
their leaders wouldn't elaborate on that the iraqi prime minister called al qaeda a scourge for iraq in the middle east the iraqi prime minister has arrived in washington in the month that turned out to be deadly deadly as the in the last five years for those who are following the news it's becoming such a repetitive phrase the deadliest on leaving iraq for this many years said we hear it all the time the fact is that following the u.s. invasion in two thousand and three terrorism has rocketed in iraq the sectarian war that broke out as a result of the 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 it specifically spoke about syria and the situation there of course even though iraq's nouri al maliki knows what the u.s. invasion has led to in this country he can't be too critical of washington because after all in a way it's thanks to the u.s. that he's now in power so let's take

terrorists mostly targeting innocent people or other. other forces. if isn't going to also told us there's no agreement within the iraqi government and that is leading to more violence against civilians. but. the government is quite busy squabbling among the alliance it's formed off alliance of some political parties most of them got militias and they are very busy fighting each other so this intense fighting is causing a lot of the. horrendous violence against the civilians. another country struggling with a wave of violence could have lost the chance for peace talks islam about its plans to start negotiations with the taliban. after a u.s. drone strike killed the militants leader details coming up later in the program or
