a rally led by south africa's democratic alliance opposition party activists want to raise the pressure on the government over corruption soaring crime rates and widespread poverty. reports on the unrest that's been deepening since the death of nelson mandela. we were about to enter one of the most dangerous townships in one of the most dangerous cities in the world this is the south africa that mandela left behind there were no what to expect when you go out in the street some days will be quiet some days you just up and down there are a lot of downs in south africa now days away from the cameras all is not well in the land of mandela twenty six year old constable corrode burma later knows it all too well for five years he's been patrolling the streets of johannesburg to try and instill some sense of order. and now we are entering. there's a large majority of. poverty. a lot of the purely artistic

tool for a better life better way of the. crime. crime and there are few places in south africa today is more rampant or poverty more in demick than alexandra township twelve kilometers northeast of johannesburg it was once the headquarters of the african national congress and the same to of anti-apartheid activism but it's as if time has stood still here many residents feel forgotten by mandela south africa is quite frightening situation for us to. really make the best effort this morning township is home to maybe a quarter of a million mostly black south africans sixty percent of them are grindingly poor and unemployed as we drive along the stench of mounds of garbage overwhelms us the stats are sobering each day on average more than fifty people are murdered in south africa another fifty attempted murders take place more rape happens here in

a country or fifty two million people than in india a country of one billion the police are struggling to cope with hear. hear. and truthfully. there are you can say real sufficiently trained. but it's up to us. to. train the police. and understaffed and according to a new poll the staggering eighty three percent of south africans believe they're also corrupt which means the good guys like a robber and his partner often put their lives on the line without sufficient backup do you think that state or make any difference to the right situation. we can only hope. for to those days but. the

residents of alexander though are too busy battling the daily reality to worry about what life without mandela will bring twenty years after he came to power they still waiting on promises of jobs and economic prosperity. and xander township south africa well late in the program we'll be joined from. cameron a renzi who represents the necrotic alliance party for more on the situation in the country so do stay with us for that and was now carry on. wealthy british scientists. tirelessly. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy

on almost all goods imported from the united states the move follows talks of the so-called transatlantic trade and investment partnership treaty the idea is to provide an economic boost on both sides of the atlantic but the board now reports the changes may give corporations unprecedented influence over governments. but i'm announcing that we will launch talks on a comprehensive transatlantic trade and investment partnership with the european union because trade that is bare and free across the atlantic supports millions of good paying american jobs. grand promises minus any explanation it's been one year since the us president announced the establishment of a transatlantic free trade agreement known as taft they have been negotiated in total secrecy away from the congress and the people. the bit about six hundred corporate executives corporate lobbyists. negotiating the

deal with the united states trade representative with the other countries sweeping u.s. surveillance has cast a cloud over negotiations as germany threatened to pull out outraged over washington snooping on its european partners but if the free trade treaty actually goes through it promises both sides of the atlantic massive gains of up to one hundred fifty nine billion dollars as more exports are expected to create more jobs but the profits could come at a cost to citizens critics say the treaty would get rid of policies put in place to protect the people danger here is that this will amount to deregulation that basically will be a race to the bottom and health and safety standards will be diminished in an attempt to create some kind of huge market with the same standards for example of genetically modified foods are not labeled in the u.s. while in europe it's mandatory but in the name of free transatlantic trade any regulations against rose is an impediment to train and therefore.

simply no longer toll they're simply removed by these trade agreements so then europe is ordinarily good. and true regardless of what the european people walk under the treaty cars and pharmaceutical drugs could reportedly i got being tested only once by the exporting country instead of the current standard of dual testing be it fracking banking or flying taft critics argue will leave governments with no choice but to change policies that better suit the business needs of private corporate power what their hope is is to have to find the lowest common denominator between the u.s. and and and standards that then make it more easy for there to be quote unquote trade big call our regulations and our standards that hurts. health and safety trade irritants they're called as opposed to barriers and and we believe that those

many of those standards are there for very good reason public support for safety standards and regulation may be the very reason american and european citizens have been kept in the dark about what may turn out to be the world's largest free trade agreement perino porton new york and over in our web site today of voiceless majority genetically modified maize crops are likely to enter farms in the e.u. despite staunch opposition from over a half of the union's member states and stories online for you today also there. threw down that causing it tomic armageddon does not necessarily require a huge bomb newly released reports show that u.s. special troops during the cold war were trained to use backpack nukes capable of massive scale carnage behind anime lines.

right to see. first street. and i would think that you're. on our reporters were very. sending out viruses hijacking social media accounts and launching denial of service attacks those may sound like hackers techniques but they're also in the arsenal of britain spies according to leaks from atwood snowden parties point zero tax apart the tactics being used by g c h q. list of g.c.a. latest on takes reads a bit like a cartoon villains manual edward snowden has revealed that a covert unit within the agency is messing with target social media accounts so

that changing their profile pictures on facebook they're posting and deleting status says and they're sending cryptic messages to their friends and family containing dissent summation about them now g c h q's joint intelligence threat research group even uses on waiting journalists to funnel information about potential targets and they're also into honey traps they pose as attractive women online in order to get potential targets to meet with them in person i think what's unique in this area it's the first public proof that we've seen that serious issues of illegality have been brought forward the interference of other people's communications the violation of the privacy of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people if the government knows everything about who the information is power and then there have enormous power over where we always say something interesting here with all these revelations what is the blackmail start do you see

h.q. isn't a spy agency like m i five or m i six it's a government agency tosca with collecting and analyzing data and yet these most recent revelations show that they're also includes sending viruses than launching denial of service attacks against websites the attempt to do denial of service attacks on organizations they don't like are deliberate attempts to obstruct to deceive i think was the phrase they use they say they call it deny disrupt degrade and deceive i mean it's like a james bond movie but this is this is the stuff they're doing and have been doing for years but this is the first proof that anybody's had that they've actually done it and yet how kids who don't work for g c h q. you face prison if they do the same and they campaigning for civil liberties hair in britain say they want to know why . they ought see london. and d.c. h.q.

mania playing dirty bided still and behind is larger part of america's national security agency when it comes to the scale of its spying operations and internet freedom campaigner told us that mass aligned surveillance is making people increasingly reluctant to speak out and see anybody advocating for the removal of curtains in everybody's house because we have nothing to hide i think that there's an expectation of privacy here in the u.s. and around the world that's not being respected and when when that expectation is not respected free speech suffers we are much less willing to speak our minds online or offline if we know we're being watched and recorded and tracked are much more less willing to engage in political activism to assemble to organize ourselves for whatever causes we believe in and if we feel like the authorities are watching our every move and even if the authorities right now might not necessarily be antithetical to the things that we believe in maybe the next president or the next

congress or the next government will be and not be able to use all of the standard that they're at their collecting against us. and in other global news right now the deaths of two young man who were shot by police in rio de janeiro has led to street riots security forces fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse stones rolling crowds brazilian police claim the victims were a suspect in a robbery and were fired on while trying to flee but demonstrators say the man were innocent. and about a thousand homes have been evacuated due to flooding in southern england and wales with hundreds of residents still at risk severe flood warnings are still in place with strong winds snow and rains expected throughout wednesday the extreme weather which has been battering the u.k. since the end of last week has been already called the worst in decades causing a large scale damage. and all thirteen people have been killed and twenty injured

in a grenade attacks at a movie theater in northwest pakistan the first explosion went off at the main entrance and was followed by two more inside the building the attacks come despite the launch of peace talks between the pakistani government and the taliban which has been waging an insurgency in the country's tribal zones for almost a decade. well i'll be back with an esteemed about forty minutes before that it's our documentary women with guns to go way. down in the final. days. and the rest. will be if we.

feel it's the location of the still river. to the well there's of the row hi ted ted said you would stop this storm we might or might people will die. all this conspiracy theorizing that somehow the state department's going to ring washington. and then decide that it's going to be. so that the government is allowed to tell the parliamentary majority to hello daryn the job i need to hear.

anything about constitutional reform in that telephone conversation did you alexander i didn't hear that. in place there are three things i have to be done. to reform the key to this well mr cruz you know made. accusation that i was a supporter of the serbian socialists and the radicals are trying to laughable but i do wish to point out that those very same socialists in the radicals that were demonized in two thousand and. two united the opposition are currently in power and they're executing the orders from washington in brussels more faithfully than anybody could have ever hoped for this is the consequence of fifteen years of american democracy. being interviewed.

a few. in rural areas the majority of families living here are pro gun learning to fire is often part of a child's education the moral value of protecting the family is more important than the physical aspect where in south dakota. jack is five he can barely get out of the car in his own but every weekend his father teaches them how to shoot with real bullets under the watchful eye of his mother gretchen you want her some stuff.

put your glasses down. on her that. you know that. jack hasn't been learning long and already he likes helping his dad set up for him it's just like any other day. i've been shooting since i was five or six. and i learned to shoot. in our. brains are we had in california and i used to go down and shoot every day after school i started shooting not turn i was probably eighteen. with brian he would go to the shooting range and he took me with a few times and tommy had a should have been doing it ever so i think it's important that women know how to shoot that they can protect themselves.

the weapon is heavy difficult for such a young child to handle. action doesn't intervene she wants her some to feel empowered. that. we teach jack that guns are to kill in the right situation. he's learning as a target to just learn is that target shooter for hunting but if the situation should arise but that it can be used to. killing par is one thing it can do but it can also be used that as many more things and it's important for him to know that that it needs to be used in different. situations and we'll teach him that of course it's not correct to kill unless somebody is attacking him to start. this year sights and see

a target. but i can't. thank you need to go up. or. remember safety rules. ok if you're ready for one round in. the shoulder in. on the stock when you see your target they say squeeze. what you like about shooting. it like learning how to do it so you can become good one day and you could witnessing the surreal event it's hard not to wonder about the risk of accidents but for jack's parents it's not an issue. a car gives you a bunch of freedom to drive around to go to the stores to do whatever you want your

gun gives you the freedom to protect yourself it's just as dangerous get into the store as it is to have somebody come in and break into your house or do a school shooting their car accidents happen every single second there's some somebody getting killed in a car in the world every second the gun accidents are the ones that make it on the news the car accidents just happened so frequently nobody even bothers anymore whoever has the gun wins basically and it allows me to protect my freedom protect my family and it allows us to be free. arming yourself to the fender freedom is not a chewed firmly rooted in the american psyche in the bigger cities in america things are seen differently lows for carrying guns are stricter.

san francisco is in one of the most oppressive states of the us california. to buy a gun there you've got to have a written allowance. the legislation is strict but it works in twenty years the level of gun related crime has dropped by forty percent. this afternoon we have a meeting in the center that is very active in the prevention of gun violence. thomas sheds light on accidents related to far all these thousands of which occur each year. among the victims are children and teenagers fifteen hundred twenty in twenty ten alone the number of accidents could be reduced if mothers didn't allow firearms at home but messages from manufacturers and supporters make this difficult what i'm noticing more and more is this really scary

marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to own guns to protect their families so someone sent me this website which shows some of this marketing some of these propaganda type ads about this and the actual ad says around midnight she called nine one one by twelve o six the fighting was done no time to wait for help to arrive so she used her rifle to stay alive obviously what they're telling you here is that as a woman you can't rely law enforcement to help you if an intruder comes to your house you have to have a gun available and ready to defend yourself and that is really playing on people's fear it's insinuating that you are not safe in your home. here's another one which i just thought was so interesting because the imagery is so evocative you know this image that here's the guy is coming after you he doesn't have a gun he only has some sort of stick it says shoes.
