and its tracks a group of lawyers activists and authors are suing president obama over the national defense authorization act and now they've got a u.s. district judge on their side so is this the end to the controversial legislation last one man who is representing the plaintiffs. and it looks like the occupy movement might be losing its momentum many expected a spring resurgence but it seems these protesters are at a crossroad we'll tell you why the banners may be fading but the occupying message remains as resilient as ever. it's thursday june seventh eight pm here in washington d.c. i'm liz wahl and you're watching are. spying on people based on their religion may not be illegal after all a group of muslims now suing the n.y.p.d. for singling out and surveilling them simply based on their religion this after reports came out that the n.y.p.d. spied on muslim businesses mosques and students in new jersey and built up secret files of the complaint filed in federal court in newark asks a judge to deem the spying unconstitutional and stop targeting people of a single religion top government

second, on the ground, the network of activists, we have one of the largest network of activists from a decidedly secular organization. the opposition, all of the different various groups that do fall intoand to the umbrella, condemned a cut operations. al qaeda is a rogue organization. had an>> did your father worked- ? >> my father serve the syrian government from independence from the french all the way until his death nine years ago. >> so he worked under assad. what was his position on bashar al-assad's father? >> my father believed in service to his nation and not particularly to a regime. he was never a member of the baath party. he believed in a free and independent syria. >> last month u.s. expelled the top syrian diplomat in washington following the massacre of over 100 people in houla. state to permit spokesperson victoria nuland blamed iran for the massacre. >> this morning, we called in syrian affairs and informed him he is no longer welcome in the united states and gave him 72 hours to depart. we took this action in response to the massacre and the village of houla absol

cuba arrested and imprisoned 75 activists at that time. jose garcia will be calling on the phone in a short while. fernando served years as a political prisoner. jose served eight years before being provided conditional release. although 75 arrests emboldened the opposition movement, creating a national symbol for a unified command for freedom from repression and tyranny. if the past is truly prologue, this current wave will only serve to embolden the movement. bringing others into the cause and leading to the freedom of the cuban people. the purpose of today's hearing is to call attention to the wave of repression taking place inside cuba. at the same time, it is a celebration of the courage of thousands of activists living inside the island. for cubans to put their personal freedom at risk or the freedom of their countrymen and their nation. let me close with a few facts we have distributed to the audience. according to the 2011 state department human rights report, the principal human rights abuses in cuba were abridgement of the right

as someone as an activist working on civil liberties and someone who has. defended wiki leaks and bradley manning i have very serious concerns about the language in that particular statute so the implications going forward if the united states government wins this case. i don't know what could happen but what i'm afraid could happen is that people who are advocating for civil liberties like myself could end up getting swept under the m.d.m. and indefinitely detained with no access to counsel which is very un-american that's not the american way it's not what we do things here and i want to protect our constitution so hopefully we win the case and that will happen. speaking of an american is the word you just used critics say that this law is also unconstitutional what rights do you say it puts in jeopardy. first amendment definitely our freedom of expression and speech and due process i in my i get i'm not attorney but to me this statute rolls the united states back eight hundred years to three magna carta days we've had due process for quite a long time to

activists say the militia has moved on to another village and is carrying out another attack. government forces are deployed around that village and are blocking entry. activists say pro government forces are using helicopters in their assaults on several cities. and ground troops are setting crops on fire. >>> u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton insists it is time to start planning for what syria might look like after assad. >> the regime sponsored violence we witnessed again in hama yesterday is simply unconscionable. assad has doubled down on his brutality and duplicity. and syria will not, cannot be peaceful, stable or certainly democratic until assad goes. >> clinton said foreign officials working with syrian opposition forces need to coordinate their efforts. she urged her diplomatic counterparts to impose and fully implement sanctions against at saad government. >>> u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon says he's preparing several options to end the violence in syria. ban says the government of president bashar al assad shows no signs of complying with the cease-fire p

activists report heavy shelling in many parts of the country. as the violence continues, there are growing calls for foreign intervention, including from the ranks of germany's governing conservatives. out the possibility of a rule- military operation -- we cannot allow the possibility -- we cannot rule out the possibility of a military operation. we have to continue the pressure on assad. un pressure will not help. >> the conservatives': and partners the free democrats do not disagree. the conservatives have their doubts about the annan peace plan. >> it seems annan's peace plan has failed, and that is a shame. if the u.n. does not act quickly, people will fail to take it seriously. >> russia and china failed to pass a resolution condemning the assad regime. >> turning to soccer action. france to gone england at the first group -- took on england at the first crew -- group d match. >> the game ended in a drop. >> the group d favorites played in the game that failed to demonstrate the balance of play. joe hart's reflexes were tested. leaping ath

i would say between activists and the soa syrian government i would go with activists.he idea that the syrian government is a trustworthy source there i think clearly they are not. >> the media championed intervention in lebanon for the same reasons, the slaughter of the innocents and women and children, innocent men. now, we are little more reluctant. we don't know what we will get in egypt with the muslim brotherhood candidate strongly positioned to win there. a strong muslim brotherhood presence in syria and all over the middle east. it is a question of be careful what you wish for and i want to salute jim's superior education here tied to the map, having i have never seen that on cable tv. >> we will all be looking that one up. >> i read it, too. >> back to the subject at hand. the president famously led from behind in getting nato involved in libya. why not do the same thing here? >> i think people understand the situation in is syria is different from libya. you can't say what worked in libya is going to work in syria bus for one thing in syria the rebels control

wahl and his wife amanda wahl were not just civil rights activists, but they were really suffrage activists for the vote for women. so in 1870 this was a time when susan b. anthony was arrested for trying to vote in the congressional election. amanda wahl also was marching to the registrar of voters and demanded to be registered to vote. so susan b. anthony was there, and i think the wahls were embarrassed by one of the o.s.b. wahl's sisters who was an opponent of suffrage for women because she thought it was unfeminine. but o.s.b. wahl, amanda wahl, john mercer langston's wife, carrie wahl langston, they were suffrage activists. >> i read this. when we see these dinner gatherings and just the luminaries of the people that were there, we see a galaxy of activists and people we all know, we see an interracial environment and don't see segregation inside the home. indeed, at one point wahl invites to his home a young man who is a white cousin on the slave side of the family. they have a high time, and the young man writes home that had never been in a finer home or met finer people. >> and hi

the activists say the militias bombarded the village near the city of hama with artillery. most of the victims were women and children and the militia is reported to have abducted many residents. u.n. monitors tried to reach the location to investigate. but gunmen fired on their vehicle, and they had to flee. activists say the militia has moved on to another village and is carrying out another attack. government forces are deployed around that village and are blocking entry. activists say pro government forces are using helicopters in their assaults on several cities and ground troops are setting crops on fire. >>> u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton insists it's time to start planning for what syria might look like after assad. >> the regime-sponsored violence that we witnessed again in hama yesterday is simply unconscionable. assad has doubled down on his brutality and duplicity. and syria will not, cannot be peaceful, stable or certainly democratic until assad goes. >> clinton said foreign officials working with syrian opposition forces need to coordinate their effor

there are activists, to be absolutely accurate in terms of the numbers they were giving. if that happens, that will give a boost to those arguments in favor of a stronger line in syria, putting pressure on russia to put some real muscle in for the syrians to carry out the serious change in direction that kofi annan wants to see from the president there, and, of course, it will put the russians in a position in trying to resist. it will have quite the impact coming at this very moment. >> jim>> and now, "bbc world news america." in beirut. and now, the euro zone debt crisis. experts have been trying to predict which country will be next to need a bailout, and one name keeps cropping out. today, spain it denied this, but fears about its banks remain. and with all eyes on germany to take the lead coming here is our chief economics correspondent. >> spain's problems are escalating. there are fears of contagion across the euro zone, and today, the risk to the u.k. prompted an intervention by the prime minister, with the threat of trouble spreading across the atlantic, and it s

the mood here in cairo is volatile left wing activists as well as liberals the youth sick and many in the muslim brotherhood are outraged earlier there were demonstrations in front of the constitutional court and now as we speak crowds are starting to gather in tahrir square the off wage is really because many egyptians feel that what has developed here is a carefully maneuvered plan by the supreme council of the armed forces scaf to remain in power looking at a decision that was announced yesterday just two days before an important presidential runoff and according to that decision the islamist dominated parliament has been dissolved in addition to that which i think is backed by the army and was also a prime minister in the mubarak era has been given the green light to remain in the presidential race the decision also reverts to legislative authority back to the ruling military and the military really holds executive authority in this country and to a new president is elected so you have this very worrying situation where a president will be elected in the absence of a constitution

but inspired by a lot of the young dream act activists last summer, i actually came out as an undocumented immigrant in the "new york times" magazine. if you were to tell me that, what, almost a year later, like we went from the headline in my "new york times" essay was outlaw, and now on the cover of "time" magazine in this essay i wrote surrounded by 35 other undocumented people, it's we are americans, because we are. we just don't have that paper. >> with this, the president of the united states, in a sense, has shifted the conversation -- >> absolutely. >> shifted the acceptance of how we should be viewing this, which is a monumental shift for a lot of americans, would you agree? >> i would parallel it with the gay rights movement.

i think gay activists, especially the older gay activists, should be very proud. >> i think we have totop for a second and acknowledge what kind of a victory this is. this will redefine rights in this country. we are taking the lead. i think we are unstoppable. i think our job, our responsibility to jose, commit to the adults, is to continue that work, to really empower the adult population in this country. there are 11.2 undocumented -- there are 11.2 million undocumented immigrants. to get 11 million people to share their story in a public way, and their allies, and their friends but i wrote a blog and said before we talk about failures and successes, let's talk about how we are human. people do not even know their undocumented and they have a very natural interaction. we're not less than human, we are not superhuman. i think that is what america is beginning to embrace. i do not call myself an illegal immigrant. i go into latino communities and they -- i say, to you understand what you are internalizing when you say that? we're pushing for undocumented americans americans in every s

witnesses and activists say government-backed forces killed up to 86 people in the village of qubair, over how for women and children. most of the victims were burned in their own homes, with many bodies showing signs of grizzly murders. the massacre reportedly came after dozens of syrian troops and militia members surrounded the village of from all directions. on thursday, syrian troops blocked u.n. monitors from reaching the village and some observers came under fire as they tried to approach. the attack came less than two weeks after pro-government forces killed over 100 civilians in the village of houla. the syrian government blames rebel "terrorists." at the united nations, international envoy kofi annan $8 to his ceasefire plan has failed and says responsibility first rests with syrian president bashar al-assad. >> today, despite the acceptance of the six. plan -- 6-point plan, and the observers to syria, i must be frank and confirm the plan is not being implemented. clearly, all parties must cease violence. but equally clearly, the first responsibility lies with the government.

gay rights activists say the law lacks clarity and allows too much work for interpretation by police which could see credit down any time with the community wants to highlight the prejudices they see below also quotes him propaganda as homosexuality on a par with peta feely or which gay groups here will spread those ignorance and aggressive homophobia there are more problems with. it enough it aims to exclude members of l. g.b.t. groups from any public activities and deprive us of the chance to let the society know our needs and problems and equating us to the peril files is just meant to defame us on in money in the me have been together for over two years but believe me they had a family many would any their biggest frustration used to be that they can get married but if the new law reaches moscow they see life getting much worse. socially it's an atrocious law that would be telling us we are worse than other people. here. i think our society not death or it is good society is more tolerant and that's happened thanks to the fact that we used to come out and show that we exist that

very doubtful of that but it certainly has struck a chord with a certain type of you know young activist who is fed up with italy's preschool class and it's not just italy the populations of greece spain and france have seen former leaders felled by the ongoing crisis and movements like the pirate party in germany and five star in italy are gaining solid ground as the euro is in state looks increasingly wobbly i think it's going to survive even if. you just want to survive. we need a big change secret it now be it's least form a funny man he'll find a solution to the crisis it leaves no stranger to performers in its parliament but the decisions of the last flamboyant leader left the country with one in three unemployed my it in debt with its economy sinking the euro project might now seem to many like a bad joke and it's one that's left us all wondering just what the punch line will be there for r.t. . later this hour max kaiser and stays here or dig deeper into financial woes in the e.u. and further afield global and expose those who are making things even worse. russia's top human righ

where people are monitoring and checking are not potential terrorists but actually human rights activists arguing against the regime not only monitoring but disappeared into the land never to be seen again and a different scenario. so yes, the answer to your question in this matter with the intention is, and it matters to take a look at the broad context of the protection and safeguards in place to use the mcdaniel baer, last year during the arab spring wheat at sea traffic and egypt just dropped. it was shut down. essentially the internet was shot down. do we see the same thing in syria, and how has egypt changed over the past year? >> i think there is still internet trafficking going on but there are restrictions the regime has been using technology in order to target people which is one of the reasons why the president signed the new executive order recently that allows sanctions to be put on individuals that are helping the city nor the iranian regime with the technology they need. but we know that it has continued to be important for the syrian people who are on the ground to tell th
