marty's polly boyko live for us in london so what exactly is behind this unprecedented joint effort polly. well the u.k. government is effectively being sued by a group of internet service providers they come from a number of different countries including the u.k. the u.s. and germany now it is reportedly the first time that an internet host has gone through court or gone to court over alleged government spying now they say that g.c. h.q. is using malware or malicious software as it's in order to break into their networks and spy on their customers communications online now legal action is going through a very special london court it's called the investigatory powers tribe you know and it's their job to look into claims or complaints over the misuse of government surveillance now you can imagine that this court's caseload has got somewhat larger

country have joined a hunger strike against the bill that goes to parliament on thursday in their statement prisoners say they are fighting to remain human instead of becoming forgotten shadows and you farmer discuss the protests but are these going to kosar eva who's just back from athens. it all started on the eighteenth of june and then every day after that more and more prisoners across the country joined in the hunger strike in total there were around four and a half hours of prisoners across the country who were starving themselves and take it any longer which is why they stopped and i said that i will continue fighting for what they believe in other ways what are they fighting for they are against this. inversion tightening and restructure of the country's penal code and also the creation of type c. crystal it seems across the country they claim that this will be like montana mowbray so in general they're saying that the condition in prison is already plus they don't want to see the creation of a new one which potentially could be worse so what's been the government's response
8:15 am
to those arguments presumably you believe that these things should go ahead yes and also we know that the country's main opposition party cities that tried to reason with and peace consider in this bill and they asked them to hold off on it until they can get a chance to visit some of these prison facilities but that request was denied we actually managed to speak to one of the prisoners his face is covered in the voice was altered because when he asked us to protect his identity so let's listen to what he had to say about what life was like in these friends and we say no to the green guantanamo maybe to a prison inside a prison without any rights without any future prisoners who have completed one fifth of their sentences should be allowed to visit their families we live filthy conditions in mice and cockroaches there are no doctors here for every illness they just give us aspirants they're prisoners here who have no money so nobody gives them anything to eat we find cockroaches that are food the prison food is disgusting it's better to eat nothing than to eat this food five prisoners live in

a view. of those groups have been defeated or at least neutralized that probably never really happened and isis has been out iraq not just because it was in syria but also by the incompetence or terrorism and corruption of the. in iraq so all these different voices are going to situation which is very probable that iraq could fragment into three stages because i can't see the moment of the time being any kind of m six area movement that could overcome the division but everything you are up to shreds. leader of isis urging muslims worldwide to come to iraq in syria to help build an islamic state there in an audio message. baghdad he vowed to fight back to lead the fight quote until rome is conquered this map reveals isis ambitions to take over more than a dozen countries in the name of jihad the proposed islamic state would span from asia across the middle east north africa even into europe isis hasn't gotten direct

help from the west but militants reportedly seize the lion's share of u.s. aid meant for the moderate syrian opposition and that's not stopping washington though from pouring more support to the rebels in syria artie's marina port i explained the u.s. insists it's not responsible for huling regional violence all over the arab world america has left behind its military footprint but i believe america is exceptional . in part because we have shown a willingness through the sacrifice of blood and treasure to stand up not only for our own narrow self-interest but for the interests of all america's exceptional armed forces have invaded afghanistan and iraq dropped bombs on libya pakistan and yemen and reportedly trained rebels fighting to overthrow the government in syria. directly leading to the insurgency in iraq where extremists have now declared their own caliphate not enough to just say that we are exceptional one way or the other
8:20 am
the reason we can point to american exceptionalism is because we've done exceptional things and we do exceptional for. we have to live up to that standard but time and time again washington's eagerness to involve itself in foreign conflicts has fueled six tarion divisions creating an exceptionally dangerous circumstance the us policy unfortunately lately has destroyed and made a mockery of the main you know what they have done in libya what they have done through you and continue to do it whether done in iraq. and. it is all from thing that. doesn't jive with claiming any kind of exceptionalism and yet in each case washington has washed its hands of any responsibility the united states of america is not responsible for what happened in libya nor is it responsible for what is

8:22 am
came near a victory for instance the catastrophe in syria is now being blamed even though the u.s. side is supporting with working with the saudis and others helped create this problem in syria where these extremist became very powerful as rebel forces some of the isis group in the front the the narrative is that if obama had only sent in more military support for the rebels earlier then it would have worked out fine . taking a look at some other world news now a suicide bombers killed at least eight people in an attack on a military bus in kabul thirteen others including explosion happened in a heavily secured area near the afghan capital is university taliban says is behind the attack this latest violence comes at a time of political tensions with the country waiting for the results of its presidential election runoff. a cargo plane crash into
