i mean if you're. coming up on r t and response n.s.a. spying brazil plans to create an internet link that doesn't rely on the u.s. the new link will connect brazil to europe to help avoid u.s. surveillance of brazil's communications the latest on that just ahead. and after days of clashes ukraine's future looks uncertain the nation remains divided in supporting the parliament's recent political changes after the removal of the nation's president a look at the situation in ukraine coming up. and our closest planetary neighbor mars has a surprise for us scientists have captured images suggesting that mars has water could this be a boost for humans hoping to live on mars an in-depth look at the red planet later

in the show. it's tuesday february twenty fifth four pm here in washington d.c. i'm liz wall in your watching our team america we begin today with a new fight against the n.s.a. snooping activities this one is bringing brazil and the european union together literally connecting the two regions of the globe the groups just announced an agreement in brussels to build an undersea communications cable these are the submarine cables that currently carry internet traffic around the world the proposed underwater route it would look like this traveling under the depths of the ocean from lisbon portugal to ford elisa brazil belying. would reduce the country's

reliance on u.s. cables after word got out of n.s.a. spying on international leaders including our allies brazilian president dilma rousseff has been vocal about respecting privacy rights here she is speaking at the un general assembly yesterday. yes the i believe there is a policy that even when you don't teach in a color you want to. make everything and what it is i mean you should as you point out this family will be giving a some asian culture abusers the idea was this is the name if you say your relations between you know a country. the cable is that's made at the cost of one hundred eighty five million dollars it's another example of the fallout after leaks from former n.s.a. contractor edward snowden revealing a massive government spying program i'm joined by political commentator sam sachs to discuss this more hi sally to see you and hear you so word of government spying bringing our looks like it's bringing other countries together now there you can

think of it as kind of a coalition of countries that are being spied on the u.s. has for a while been the chief administrator of the world wide web if you look at a lot of the traffic is carried through by u.s. tech companies a lot of the infrastructure those fiber optic cables that you show that carry the internet traffic around the world all of them run through the united states to the u.s. has been kind of this de facto. administrator of the internet which hasn't been a big problem for all these countries and the u.s. is was basically a pretty good. this was a good role for the united states which is often preach openness in the internet and again censorship but since these n.s.a. disclosures it's completely reversed that role in the world has seen that the united states as well as its by buys partners the spying partners the u.k. australia new zealand canada have been abusing this role is that in ministering the internet and they're spying on not just legitimate targets but entire domestic populations and so you see these countries that aren't members of the five eyes that have been spied upon like brazil that are trying to forge connections of their

own to kind of carve the united states and other spying allies out of the world wide web yeah what they're upset about it we see that they're taking action i was doing some research on this and saw some people skeptical that this is really going to. stop the n.s.a. from spying if they really wanted to could they intercept these lie and say if they if they wanted to get ahold of the information i mean if they spent millions of dollars on that i guarantee i mean if they can intercept the launcher it's a lot easier of course to tap into a fiber optic cable right in your own backyard and that's where a lot of these cables we're running in the united states we know that the u.k. is doing this awat they're just cutting right into the tables that are running off the coast of the u.k. so if you know if huge amounts of that in sharing that with the n.s.a. and everyone but conceivably yeah the n.s.a. could send a submarine to the middle of the atlantic ocean find this new one hundred eighty five million dollars cable or something they're building in top right into it and it's been documented going all the way back to the ninety's when the internet in

these fiber optic cables started proliferating around the world that the n.s.a. was experimenting with doing just doing exactly that the same sort of activity of going to the bottom of the ocean and putting in secret taps into these cables all places are heard all of their i guess i want to ask you because we saw some some leaders speaking out against the spying and i say spying and the revelations from the former n.s.a. contractor edward snowden and beyond this building of a new this fiber optic cable we're seeing this is one step what are the other some other steps that other countries are taking well we've heard leaders like dilma rousseff talk about completely walling off the internet within their own country so say i live in brazil and i have g. mail if i need if i need to access my g. mail my data automatically leaves brazil because google doesn't have any data centers in brazil it has to go to the nearest data center but brazil is talking about saying hey google if you want to do business with us in brazil you have to come to brazil and build these data centers so that people's data stays within the country so this could be the future you could see countries requiring these tech

companies to build data centers within their country so that they can better protect protect their citizens privacy but there are a lot of concerns what effect this could have on the internet the sort of balkanization breaking up of the internet you also see. countries in the you putting up warning messages when people are on the internet if their dad is leaving the country and going somewhere that leaves it vulnerable to to n.s.a. spying so there's a lot of all other efforts that you see fundamentally challenging us role in you know being the chief what is it you about that because it sounds like the data center is our integrity part of the internet in the way it works throughout the world so how can these efforts this five five or optic cable one of them among others that you mentioned how could it change the internet as we know it today will if if we're moving from a u.s. centric internet to a more decentralized global internet that in itself is a fundamental change in the way the internet has worked if tech companies now have

to move their data centers to compete for business in these other countries that are wary of n.s.a. spying that's going to require a lot of investment in a lot of cost upfront to change the way these tech companies are doing business and this kind of fractured balkanized internet is completely different than the free flowing internet that we're used to and that we've had that could present some new opportunities for people to better protect the privacy of their citizens and offer some new innovation within other countries and new tech companies rise up but also have some pitfalls as more repressive regimes could use the excuse of walling off their internet to spy on their own citizens to censor the internet as well so the kind of higher ground the u.s. had in promoting a free and open internet has been lost as a result he's in as the revelations and it's kind of given these more authoritarian regimes a tool to put him back and put in more censorship interesting the internet times are a changing and i guess we'll see how allow this plays out thanks sam very interesting that was political commentator sam sachs now to ukraine where the future is

uncertain the people are deciding on a new government after the ousting of the president a violent uprising resulted in dozens dead and today of a very divided country r.t. is alexei you're a chef he has the latest from kiev. edu members stayed greece we don't have any jobs and at the same time we have debts to pay they should support us now that we're in great need edu member states sprayed. i'm unemployed i have two children we don't get any government help and it's hard to survive each month but if we don't have money for us how can we give it to ukraine. and rubel do you agree a country without even an association. is as plain with carrots and sticks the there's economic integration which was going to mean big parts of the ukrainian working population will see a deterioration in their living style the fantasy about entering your of the the

streets be in line with gold that's a fantasy because the real project is it is an i.m.f. based austerity program. with questions about who will lead ukraine into the future and whether the country will stay together one thing's clear it's the rule economy that needs to be revamped first even before the euro my down protest kicked off there was a talk of a possible default in ukraine in november its external debt reached one hundred sixty billion euro it was one of the main reasons why king of refused to sign the trade pact with the e.u. fearing it could aggravate the situation even the more you november last year europe offered only several hundred million euros to ukraine but with the opposition now taking the reins the e.u. is ready to give a whole lot more luxury maybe even embers such as greece and spain can no hard to afford. that spain can't help now. i'm just beach this this idea is worse than anything. the first state could greece seen teach them and then they all

for ukraine all the money look she rushes to see watching from here. at the heart of the conflict as ukraine's ties to the year european union the opposition is spending their hopes on the e.u. to come to the rescue but does the union have the financial capital to secure the country's future while some are skeptical of that patrick young from investment consultant devi advisors says they use not financially prepared to save the country . the situation has not changed months ago the free trade agreement collapsed a because it was skewed in favor of the european union secondly because the european union offered a derisory hundred million euros knowing the european union's financial situation has not changed we've got all manner of people the governing party in the u.k. all sorts of politicians across europe even mr to scrim neighboring poland is

saying that effectively it's going to be impossible to manage to be very lavish with phones at the same time frankly the new ukrainian government azi it is is effectively in la la la and that mean they're already asking for thirty five billion dollars that's up from the fifteen billion dollars that had been agreed to by the by the president mr young the cove it's just a few months ago with with russia and therefore it's really a mess the european union does not have the political capital to spend on rescuing ukraine from twenty years of economic mismanagement given the problems in the backyard of the euro zone. that was patrick young executive director at devi advisers. now to an uprising against police brutality here in the u.s. in the city of detroit new york residents are demanding justice after

a clash between police and patrons at a bar take a look at this surveillance video. right thank you very much. you can see it several police officers swarming the inside at the bar the scene chaotic you see several officers. coming out there forcing a man to the ground one of them beating the man with a baton these say they were responding to a nine one one call alerting them of a. right at the bar but according to the outraged patient patrons and the owner of the bar there was no problem until the police showed up. all that conflict has sparked outrage in the community over alleged race discrimination and police brutality barry galecki one of the owners of the bar spoke at a public safety committee hearing after the of that hundreds of people showed up to

voice their support take a lesson this surveillance tapes clearly show that mr donnelly did nothing to provoke the brutality received i guess. thank. you i do. however the tapes i show show by the patrons being hit with nightsticks by the police in the building during and after the initial assault on mr donnelly i can only surmise that these individuals were being beaten because they were expressing outrage at what they were seeing unfolding before they. well a group of activists and concerned citizens of wrote a letter to the u.s. department of justice demanding a civil rights investigation into the police department a one of the citizens that signed the letter tells our t.v. that an investigation is underway to try

a police department denies using excessive force and says they are cooperating with the f.b.i. . so out here on r t a turns out that mars unless the bear and then it looks scientists now claim about the red planet has liquid water well this discovery make future trips to mars today to live on mars more likely that after the break. our forces. in the finish line of the marathon. that. we welcome their innate in every morning to the two or three posts on the our t.v.

network. boom bust it's going to give you a different perspective you're the one star never i'll give you the information you make the decision. so bring you the words it's a revolution of the mind it's revolution of ideas and consciousness. it's very very prolific and would be described as angry i think in a strong. one single. i've got a quote for you. that's pretty tough. stay with substory. get this guy like me you're about done instead of working for the people's motivations the mainstream media were pretty much on the right drugs bit into. the drug.

dramas they're trying to be of no origin. stories others use to know. since changing world rights not. to be true today. for us to. look to. for decades people have wondered if life on mars is possible now we may be closer to an answer water an essential component of life as we know it may currently be on the red planet scientists have been keeping a close eye on mars and have captured images that could reveal the presence of water take a look at the photo snapped from nasa mars reconnaissance orbiter they're raising a lot of questions

a formations are shaped sort of like fingers they appear and disappear depending on the season scientists say this could be pretty convincing proof that there is a water and believe it to be salty great news for the hundreds of people planning on going to mars in the next decade or hoping at least the mars one mission is offering one way tickets to the red planet as you see you there's plenty of takers . i want to go to mars because i feel like an alien here just a bored. it's a boy to go to. i don't ever buy any furniture i just find it by the side of the road and if i can't find if i can find a. cardboard. i'm resourceful i'm sure you have to be resolved resourceful if you want to make a mars for more on this i'm joined by lou drench he is a graduate student at georgia institute of technology and published a paper with the finding that's how low there so can you explain these these these

images are pretty cool looking but i think they're hard to understand can you describe to the layperson what the images show and why they are significant. so the images were captured by higher ed camera more cyclonus unfolded during which he was seen in movies the scene you're looking like and dark streets that are forming or when the temperatures are right on mars so you know a lot of other things on mars is driven by carbon dioxide activity for what you're seeing there that these things that are forming and growing when the temperature just rifle water liquid water to exist on mars so they're forming and growing and then they're feeding all the time and we think these are probably grinds on the present the surface of mars i want to ask you because it seems like every or year or every other year and there is kind of new news about loudwater being on mars so what's the significance of this discovery exactly like in every year there is some

sort of prayer by the water and bar and we're probably like the hundred discover water and our spot weld we're proposing is actually look at what a lot of people have proposed. water on the marshes to water in the minerals but what we're talking about is you know something like a stream you were flying on your backyard or something actually good water on the surface so it's much different than maybe some of the previous cooling and and also there also has been a lot of bait thought it was actually good water on mars and they just i mean the evidence did not stand up and we put this is the would be an issue paper we published back in twenty eleven so it's been three years now and no one has been able to come up with an alternative hypothesis to explain the features so h two o. in liquid form a sign of that could you drink at. you could probably drink it but i wouldn't i wouldn't hurt that much so. if it was water it's probably very salty.

just so you know what a pure water. it would probably not be stable on the surface of mars so if you are water it's probably going to be very salty. so i don't blame you for not wanting to drink at one ask you one of the first men to step on the moon buzz aldrin is on a mission to get the first human on mars and he was here at a conference not too long ago i caught up with him mr aldrin and asked what his vision is for mars here's what he had to say a growing permanent group people arrive there knowing that they're going to spend the rest of their lives and they've been trained as a team to do that with the right of these different the cheapness. so very very ambitious outlook for life on mars are and having it and even starting a civilization there i mean what do you think is the new discovery more proof that

mars is habitable for humans. either it's an interesting question or it's one of the holy grail of human through also the end. was certainly with this discovery i mean we know that there's water on mars that's been known for a while now. hypothetically we can go to the surface of mars melt the surface subsurface ice and how water board what we're proposing as well in some places you actually have with the water so you know it's a little better and brighter for buzz aldrin's plant yeah definitely right and this mars one of michette and very ambitious mission within a decade is one they hope to really start getting people on on mars and to start building up that civilization and. do you think that this mission is a is attainable i know there's a lot of people that are are signing up for these one way tickets and i mean they

arrive there and they wouldn't come back to earth they become martians essentially or what do you think i've been is this another sign that this is a result of all of feasible venture. i certainly hope so you know. in the uniform with angle simple and i think we're. back in the being able to achieve this dream but i certainly hope that we're able to view this and i don't know i mean i have my doubts. i know you don't hold words with belgium so what who won the war and wars. well we'll have to see it so that'll creep up on a sooner than we think i'd. appreciate you coming on very very interesting developments there that was. a graduate student at the georgia institute of technology. so which in gears now will may not be the mega millions but some people may consider it a jackpot the c.b.s.

care team is teaming up with a top ranked ospital and new york city to offer a sweepstakes the grad prize be a call and ask a p that's right you can't beat a free go to masturbate after the c.b.s. gears go to ask to be sweepstakes you can be our numeral oh no that's right the lucky winner gets a trip for two to the big apple three nights and a luxury hotel and a free colon ask a p you must be between the ages of forty seventy nine to be in the running well since nine eleven there is an been an increase in government surveillance from here at home to those traveling abroad and there is a new approach by the u.s. department of homeland security that would track people leaving the country through facial and iris recognition the residence laurie harshness tells us more.

u.s. department of homeland security just issued a new request for information on that visit go of because of the most imo told biometric solution for land border exit basically homeland once companies to submit informal proposals for how they help the government biometrically track through spatial or iris recognition at least ninety seven percent of all the people who leave the u.s. at land borders they want to be able to identify by face or eyeball everyone who walks or drives out of the u.s. along this land borders and keep a record of it they say this tracking will improve supporting analysis

a favorite catch all excuse for surveillance but here is by far the creepiest part of the proposal they want the technology to quote require limited or no direct travel or information or physical contact if possible in other words they want people to have no idea they've just been tracked i guess according to the request document an average of twenty two thousand non-u.s. citizens can walk into an out of the u.s. every day in a twelve hour period homeland wants to be able to facially recognize every single one of them they also want anyone to submit ideas about how to do that to remember that the u.s. wants that technology generic enough so they can integrate it with all of their other buy toys they want you to develop it for them and then go away basically for the u.s. wants to track every single visitor as they leave the u.s. probably without them knowing it is not exactly a friendly. really approach but if you think it sounds like

a good idea because that's the kind of world we live in they consider this home has been trying to figure out how to track everyone leaving this country to no avail for over a decade now they're going to spend billions more to keep trying to figure it out even the government's own accountability office considers homeland acquisition programs like this one to be it how you risk for abuse always costing more than they should take more time than they should and delivering less than promised so either this initiative makes the us the world's that creepy is toast or it's yet another colossal drain of our tax dollars for nothing either way if you're planning on crossing the u.s. border anytime soon you might want to wink or smile or something just to say hello to all who are watching tonight let's talk about bad by following me on twitter at the resident.
