coalition air strikes continue in yemen maybe on a honda has more. it's not the first time who see rebels have fired long range missiles across the border at saudi arabia but this missile appears to have travelled the furthest hundreds of kilometers deep into saudi heartland and only taken down close to king khalid international airport on the outskirts of the capital riyadh. the official saudi news agency is p.a. said saudi forces fired a surface to air patriot missile to intercept it witnesses reported hearing a loud explosion and seeing fragments falling near the airport the rebels moved quickly to say they were behind the missile attack telling al-jazeera they had launched a burke and two h. missile a scud type missile with a range of more than eight hundred kilometers. we choose the time and place after collecting information about a target and it was khaled international airport east of riyadh targeted by

9:03 am
al-jazeera that who's the fighters would target any country that attacks them. what . i would of as the target yemen as far as we are concerned are fair military target for ballistic missiles any country that hits yemen militarily will be targeted. yemen was already the poorest country in the region before the war nearly two and a half years of fighting has left it on the brink of collapse a crippled infrastructure poverty seven million people close to starvation and since april at the world's worst outbreak of cholera the u.n. says around ten thousand people have been killed and at least forty thousand wounded mostly from saudi leader is strikes this latest missile attack deep into saudi territory will likely escalate this long running and conflict medium hond out his ear has been a major shake up of saudi arabia's cabinet among those let go is national guard

9:05 am
9:06 am
a state of universally deception i took an oath to support on the constitution and on taking notes fortified us a good start and did something that was important and was for a week i had to call these people superheroes it is not so good because it shuts them up. for some people their superheroes for others simply traitors whistleblowers like daniel ellsberg thomas drake william binney and would snowden. hackers and activists like the wiki leaks founder julian assange and the former british secret service agent an emotional they want to subvert the complete surveillance of our society they oppose intelligence agencies governments and corporations and for this they are threatened hounded and imprisoned. why are they so committed to what drives them. to.
9:07 am
san francisco california. the cradle of our modern day. computer industry home to creative technicians and visionaries hackers and whistleblowers. in a suburb of san francisco lives the godfather of all whistleblowers. daniel ellsberg . and probably the only whistleblower that i know of who can make a living as a lecture because i'm the one who was put on trial for a hundred fifteen years on the one who isn't involved in the president being resigning because of his crimes against me so he made me notorious enough. that i can make a living here who literally. studied economics science at harvard in the one nine
9:08 am
hundred fifty s. after graduating he enrolled like many fellow whistleblowers in the military. and of. you she courage here all around you of the conventional sure high courage you've been trained for you've been disciplined for but you see it it happens you have the training works and people are risking their bodies and their life every minute. at the end of the one nine hundred sixty s. ellsberg worked at the u.s. embassy in vietnam. he became known by publishing the secret pentagon papers which proved that the us president had lied to the american public about the vietnam war for years. ellsberg decided to make the documents public after meeting peace activists who had
9:09 am
refused the draft. i would not have thought of doing it if i didn't have the example of many many people . who are going to prison for nonviolent resistance to the craft. in one nine hundred sixty nine else greg began smuggling parts of the pentagon papers out of the government agency he worked for and copy them over the following months. a total of seven thousand pages of secret documents. in march one nine hundred seventy one he passed the documents to the new york times who eventually printed them. ellsberg surrendered himself and was charged with theft and unauthorized possession of pentagon material. the trial collapsed when it came to light that nixon and illegally wiretapped
9:10 am
ellsberg. and agents had broken into his psychiatry ists office. ellsberg thereafter remained a free man. if they arrest me or indict me then i will say it was only me. patricia state next to me to cooperate. if something happens and she i couldn't figure out why she wasn't indicted by the way because she had done the right to copy. her free card her fragrance folded paper so here i thought it was because she didn't want such a beautiful woman sitting next to me at the defense table in front of the jury. i would advise people now not to do what i did to reveal themselves if they can
9:11 am
avoid it. i reveal myself for the same reason you know dear. essentially we knew that other people would be suspected maybe even charged with cancer consentual evidence against. people who might look more more guilty than you did. in a way i would rather take the risks of democracy and the risks or should. mr daniel ellsberg. we have a third analyst who will be joining us from russia one of the one of my
9:12 am
real heroes and i think many people in this room many people in the hacker community many people in america. edward snowden welcome. thank you. more than forty years after daniel ellsberg n.s.a. employee edward snowden emerges as a whistleblower in the usa now has a new public enemy number one. thanks to manning and now do you i'm getting more favorable publicity. in forty years already have. because suddenly people who were all for putting me in prison for life before now realize that i was really a very good guy i was the. i was the good whistleblower and so i'm i'm totally of course i rejected this from the beginning that i didn't want to be a foil for. showing a badly to people that i totally admired there was
9:13 am
a moment of hope x. hobart's conference in july in new york city. ellsberg. i was having a live conversation with snowden we have a front as america and its members of the global community and know the broad outlines of government policies that have a significant impact on lives and i think that's something that tom grant showed me how to do the right way. there was a moment where he said. very clearly very distinctly that i showed him the right way. i had always hope that it's now become a law. thomas drake served during the cold war in europe in the one nine hundred eighty s. with the u.s. air force which included work as a signals analyst on spy planes hoovering the soviet union so my day job is
9:14 am
a reconnaissance orbiter country. and then my my life was computers. this was it was a vast world that you're now you gave you both ways particularly in europe very quickly you had the support of moore's dial you know chaos you. got a version of that. in the one nine hundred ninety s. drake worked as a software developer for the cia in september two thousand and one he was hired as a senior analyst by the n.s.a. . my first ever job as nine eleven we were working on you know sixteen eighteen hour days i mean it was that those four months after nine eleven are a blur because as it was just. your network we recognized that this was a significant event in history.
9:15 am
whatever you got in the fight whatever you got the labs we need it whatever tools you can use to prosecute those behind. nine eleven. do it. i was selected as the designated senior executive and say the lead up that effort to find anything we had to fight and so i did and that's where i brought to the attention of others tools techniques programs things are in the lab things are pilots things that were being dissed testbed the mantra that went out from n.s.a. by general hayden he kept going around saying we just need to make americans feel safe again feel safe even out banners. and i discovered during those first couple three weeks after nine eleven all this information that we as you imagine was pouring in after nine eleven literally being use to monitor and survey l. and intercept u.s.
9:16 am
domestic communications on an extraordinarily broad scale. i was finding this out within days of nine eleven and others were coming to me saying what are we doing top. among the snowden documents were figures for the u.s. secret service budget. since september eleventh they supposedly doubled by twenty five billion to fifty two billion u.s. dollars in two thousand and thirteen. the surveillance programs continue to metastasize they continue expand it in ways that still have not been fully revealed. and this became sort of the collect of all mindset mentality what does that lead to well yes you. you have these other interesting arrangements with certain internet providers and telecommunication concerns to temptation is are enormous and it's like
9:17 am
a you know give us access or back in or open it up and that's what happened i mean and now you're seeing a lot of this unfold. the national security agency n.s.a. for short the largest foreign intelligence agency in the usa has been responsible for the worldwide monitoring of electronic communications since one thousand nine hundred fifty two. some of the thirty five thousand employees weren't comfortable with the massive expansion of surveillance in september eleventh. all of the colleagues that i knew which was just a handful bill binnie ed loomis kirk we chose to retire from the n.s.a. . in late october two thousand and one they realize what was happening they could not stand by and see the subversion of the constitution and all the work that they had done being used for mass surveillance they left the agency i begged them to
9:18 am
stay i chose to remain and fight from within as long as i could i got mad at them you know so i my my objective was to counter attack i don't believe in defense you know just sitting back and being defensive i mean you have to get out there and attack so that's what i started doing that was my point it's time to attack so basically was a declaration of war. against my government. william binney mathematician and programmer initially worked for the n.s.a. as an analyst then later as the technical director of the secret service. as the boss of a six thousand strong team he developed a wiretap program that anonymously filtered and processed large volumes of data. i tried to do the right thing right after nine eleven trying to make
9:19 am
a contribution that would make a difference they refused to accept it so it was basically blocked that there was nothing i could do they would accept nothing from me the n.s.a. directors decided against the program from vinny's team and i opted for another they collected much more data. the problem is i helped in designing the system that's in use. because i knew what was possible once they started using those programs and opening it up to massive data input on everybody in the planet so it was pretty clear that it was obvious to me how they were using it and what they're doing with it so i mean because i understood the design of the systems. and so after that when they started spying on us citizens violating the constitution i had to leave i couldn't be a part of all the criminal activity that was going on and that's fundamentally i call that treason against the country. so i got out at the end of october following
9:20 am
day two thousand and one. one year later but he submitted a complaint to the u.s. defense department for wasting state funds the complaint was examined but had no effect the patriot bill binney became a combative whistleblower a role model for many today. the son of man says his friend came here intelligence senses and takes you know two thousand and fifteen. eleni represents the patches the side that you need this series like two hundred and you said this integrity is for you see. this is yours and i was as his entire intelligence or worse of you. so thank you
9:21 am
though. i knew every major leader in this a general hayden personally and i have to say that i have met more people with true will take ready character since i left so. while binny opted out of the system his colleague thomas drake fight against the violation of civil rights from within the n.s.a. . my new for the moment i stood up to my own supervisor and i went to her and said what are we doing violating the prime directive to cannot spy and americans are war you don't understand. i confronted my boss i go to the o. the office general counsel i confront him and then he says don't ask any more questions. now you're faced with a dilemma i didn't give the order i'm not. the one that was implementing the survey
9:22 am
of the master valence program the digital dragnet what do you do i chose to pull the whistle. but how do you do that knowing there's a master valence program and knowing the n.s.a. was targeting targeting journalists. i made arrangements an encrypted form to communicate. anonymously with this reporter. then i made a decision that i would meet the reporter. that was in february of two thousand and seven. the journalist subsequently published a number of articles about the waste and mismanagement of the n.s.a.
9:23 am
the repercussions were enormous but the n.s.a. let the attacks come to nothing as drake did not prove the central part of his criticism with documents. this tactic suddenly stopped working in two thousand and thirteen. edward snowden's material that stuff he took out made it absolutely impossible for them to deny what they were doing because it simply laid out in their terms on their slides what they were doing and it was impossible for them to deny it so i don't think mr snowden was a patriot. the way in which these disclosures happened have been. have been damaging to be united states and damaging to our intelligence capabilities. people ask if i see it is the patriot or traitor you know that's the headline in all these things edward snowden patriot or that drives me nuts the very thought you know that people could regard it was
9:24 am
a traitor we will likely. face is the cost in human lives on tomorrow's battlefield or in in some in some some place where where we will put our military forces you know when we ask them to go into harm's way and i think that's that's the greatest cost that we face with the disclosures that have that have been presented so far no one was the one person in the n.s.a. who did what he absolutely should have done how many people should have done what you did. what snowden is revealing is a global trip to attention for democracy and he. being a patriot doesn't rule you know obedience to authority. putting aside your obligations to your people to your country for the benefit of your
9:25 am
government is the. take it isn't. until the revelations by edward snowden the warnings of intelligence agency critics were always shrugged off a speculation only after he had published all the original and it's a documents was there proof and concrete evidence provided for the first time. documents all the difference it is more risky to do that it also makes all the difference in terms of political effect snow demanding and i gave the documents less than one percent of the starting documents have been published that's terrible . terrible thing those documents do not belong to a journalist they do not belong to a good side so they do not belong to the national security agency they belong to history they are part of something that humanity has gone through every single one
9:26 am
of us have been has been a victim of national security agency spying all human beings who use the internet. are victims of it and the victims deserve to know what has happened to them. i think the opportunity is in producing a very broad global outrage about what has happened in every country and informing all the victims of that surveillance about what is actually happening to them and releasing enough documents so that all the technical industries. hackers and computer programmers can think of and other governments can work out
9:27 am
how to protect them so. julian assange hacker and journalist was interested in computer programming from an early age as a teenager he had already hacked into foreign data systems and military networks later he studied physics and mathematics in melbourne in two thousand and six he founded the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks which publishes secret documents of governments intelligence agencies and corporations kind of ellsberg was an inside and inside was an insider. would say that i was never inside. i was. inside. you know tree and intelligence and big companies. as a computer hacker and later as an alibi analyst analyzing them material. so i had exotic came sense for what they were about that i never had the fear that one should work for these organizations. the people who were in the u.s.
9:28 am
national security system it was like their own drug. drug but that made them powerful because they were a group that had a lot of power and that system has a way of talking about how the world works and how the united states empire is a good thing you can take a long time towards that drug out of the system don't knows what it is nearly entirely worth it because it's them but the more recent whistleblowers they still have perhaps some some way to go. the only difference i have from research is i think the only difference is i think that he probably believes more in the value of total truth or near total transparency tonight is for.
9:29 am
sure true names at home. and inspiration. personal stories of people who are keeping the spirit of freedom alive. by courageously defending their rights to be heard. it's disappointing that we get to al-jazeera select at this time. the most memorable moments of al-jazeera was when i was on air as hosni mubarak fell with the crowds in tahrir square to ok. if something happens anywhere in the world how does iraq is in place where able to cover news like no other news organizations. were able to do it properly. and that is our strength. the consequence of war
9:30 am
i'm not sure isn't rochelle's he served in the marine corps for nine she. just doesn't go away. for a living out of his truck for the last couple years. he's homeless. follows a group of u.s. army veterans traumatized by war. as they struggle to get their lives back. at this time. a lot has i'm seeking headlines on al-jazeera saudi arabia has shot down a long range ballistic missile fired from yemen over its capital riyadh hooty rebels in yemen say they launched the weapon the travel five hundred kilometers over the border to further so far has been
9:31 am
a major shake up of saudi arabia's cabinet among those let go is national guard minister prince met had been he was the last senior royal in government not closely connected with king solomon levanon is looking for a new prime minister of the satiety the quit his post you made the surprise announcement in a televised address from the saudi capital riyadh saudi said he was stepping down for fear of assassination he also lashed out of iran and its lebanese hezbollah accusing both of these stabilizing the region u.s. president donald trump has landed in japan kick starting his twelve day tour of asia he is meeting prime minister shinzo ave to talk trade and north korea from the also visit south korea china vietnam and the philippines you are the greatest hope for people who desire to live in freedom and harmony and you are the greatest threat to tyrants and dictators who seek to prey on the innocent history
9:32 am
has proven over and over that the road of the tyrant is a steady march toward poverty suffering and servitude but the path of strong nations and free people certain of their values and confident in their future use is a proven toward prosperity and peace. catalan leader. all political parties who supports a session to form a coalition for the regions election in december posted the message on twitter he is currently in belgium a european arrest warrant was issued for him and four of his allies they face charges of rebellion sedition and misuse of public funds for pursuing the referendum scientists are investigating the deaths of nearly one hundred fifty dead seals that washed up on the shores of the world's deepest lake in southern russia
9:33 am
many of them were pregnant appear to have died in the water and shown no signs of injuries disease or starvation that is the headlines now back to digital dissidents . and wiki leaks highly explosive documents can still be published anonymously that otherwise would be withheld through nondisclosure or censorship. according to wiki leaks all documents were checked for authenticity one major aim is to force corporations and intelligence agencies to abide to more transparency and social responsibility to shed light on their well kept secrets which cover up illegal and immoral behavior. when used to get on here as if and if in the. form of yvonne does. it make it fun for you if somebody can
9:34 am
issue so dog in afghanistan for the i thought i was sort of afghanistan's entry just as rhetorical counterattack just like something out of. there just to say no no no you do that. and. unfortunately the. us press is sort of. so vile that it pretty prince this nonsense so what he needs reveals very concretely very strong accurate documentation how the us is our own records shows that it was involved in one way or another in the deaths of more than a hundred twenty thousand people in iraq and afghanistan between two thousand and four and two thousand and ten. and the us government's response is maybe hypothetically as a result of this release of this material some afghan family or u.s. soldier. could face risks that's the standard accusation or like what tom drake did
9:35 am
threaten military lives exposing corruption fraud waste and abuse doesn't threaten military lives continuing then threatens military lives the end result is that they are forced to admit last year on the earth that a single person had been harmed as a result of publications. sons demand the protection of individual privacy on the one hand and on the other radical transparency of governments and corporations but one of the motives of whistleblowers why do intelligence insiders step forward into the light risking their careers their lives to expose the wrongdoings of those in power. is there
9:36 am
a common name a collective mission of this broad alliance and wild mix of patriotic excede good service agents and archaic hackers cyberpunks and intellectual publicists. the common theme with among all of us is that we support human rights and that we support the public's right to know information and especially when it threatens the public or threatens the democracy or freedom of individuals i mean that's the kind of common theme that goes through all of it i think but it's a lonely act that you come it as one person but i was convicted by the truth of what i knew so i made a conscious choice to yes violate a non-disclosure agreement and we also took the oath to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic so that means even our
9:37 am
government if it's violating the constitution so we have we have the responsibility to stand up against that it's the moral agency you're confronted by activity that demands a response. and you're in a pipe a swear you have access to information you have access your eye witness such an eyewitness or you or you were brought into awareness. five. and what you had to have a specific going past him. when he's been off that mind i'm just mundus contest is conduct of one's initiative under suspicion what you've got some of us have office here then than. that of tons of my fondest bits in and out of tons. done on site this does. have an advantage. so all of sudden bosses wouldn't need someone to fuck. off and mention the fact it is recently.
9:38 am
this is invisible knowing full from. high profile leaks we fun fun fun mending friends no. fun not this kind not when it's. this is absolute no definition and i know steve music will have always just i mean. to call these people superheroes is not so good because. they get it i admire that but me i'm not a superhero who thinks of themselves as a superhero me not you know we're sixteen year old. dream you know. if you get your excuse for not doing it it doesn't take a superhero and these people know these people were going to take a ship or here with michael in the fog it was no wouldn't it is the name be on to a. few months to
9:39 am
a month on clothes and most of whom this is. often. only sign in if it becomes act you know who become to be annoying because of us and we could put in who become ten of the on the inside team was going with this off. fifty push it's own somebody's khana in space on the do it's of interest in because that's when all the hits because in the in the chilis it was no didn't go into any longer at least seem to be in. thirty eight a scene to even see one who seemed to. time this is i was kicked out of what i see clubbing when was it was no didn't and it's not in this i'm even seen him on t.v. snowden or does it seem under julian that especially to be interested in emily coming to tony's top of the top officer vowed not to let this be an issue for months and that she. does is not tradition have to the consequence of events.
9:40 am
then you still have no if someone dies if they think that's what's the up this with the best is about does a slow down a t.v. . when done with conflict kids design does testify to the picking of what so ever on this must a new pledge attention fad that doesn't have to have a new mindset to most this tour. each democracy punch which leaves you could you actually each country whether it's going to be democratic or not knowing everything about the private lives of all of their citizens leaders through journalists their judges and their ordinary people
9:41 am
could be turned into informants. with those people knowing almost nothing about the government the government be ok with sugar too and the people being transparent you guys this is the most ridiculous i've ever seen you know you sure everybody in the country and everybody in the world you're not an invalid. and so your secret. if you don't have prissy in your communications you can't guarantee they can hold a telephone conversation or rational mellow view stuff from the internet or read books once that is known to the authorities and it can even begin to self censor what you say and what you read. and immersion is a former agent of the british national intelligence agency m i five. he begins with draw a little bit feel normal life because you're told you can't mention your being a christian by five and that means that people tend to focus much more on their life within and i thought i'd say begin to socialize
9:42 am
a lot more with other people there because you can talk about stuff. and also you end up mainly in the relationships with your fellow intelligence officers it's how i met my former partner and colleague david shayler. when schiller made the illegal practices of the intelligence service public and supported him in becoming a whistleblower. in one nine hundred ninety seven shortly before the publication of the secret documents the couple flew to france. they went underground for a year and subsequently lived in paris for to use in two thousand they returned to london or went to prison. was spared since then she fights for government accountability and campaigns for the rights of whistleblowers when david shayler and i ended up going on the run after we'd done the whistle on a series of crimes when i thought. we were very conscious of exactly how they could be termed here as an investigative yes so where every week. thought well the
9:43 am
telephone might be compromised the computer might become placed there might be microphones in where we were living there might be a little video cameras recording what we did and also people might be turned to vote against us so there are all these different techniques that they can use and this is way back in the ninety's analog we are so even at that point where we are on the run from m i five across europe we use the only sure fire way that we need to communicate to each other securely which was to put a piece of glass or ceramic on a surface and put one sheet of paper on it and then you cover it so that nothing can read what you write in the paper you don't say anything you just write what you want on the piece of paper and then you allow the other person to read that message so there is no order they can be no video and there could be no imprint under that one piece of paper then of course you have to get rid of that piece of paper so you have to burn it up over as the ashes and the cost it the wins or to actually
9:44 am
doesn't do because we know that our computers our telephones all of that can be compromised the video can be switched on the movie the audit committee switched on mostly they can log what we write on the keyboards they can even and this comes from the snowden disclosures they can even use my queries apparently to beam into the screen and read what you're typing. we live in a digital world where little remains unseen turning privacy into another luxury good. bleak science fiction visions of a powerful surveillance apparatus with seemingly endless technical possibilities.
9:45 am
now only seems a question of time how does this change our behavior if every move we make every word we say is recorded and analyzed which roles will we have to play and whose writing script. having lived with that sense endemic surveillance i can tell you it's a corrosive to human spirit so once you lose that sense privacy and you start to self censor you start to be an effective and fully integrated system of that country supremacy in my view is the last defense against a slide towards a police state or to tell a terran isn't if you let go of your rights from moment you've lost them for a lifetime and that's why this matters is because it happened and we didn't know me or told.
9:46 am
us you say you have nothing to hide see the thing to worry about i have nothing to fear you'll hear all language ok fine church church if you're going to do it at her house yes well just give me your keys yeah. rather readily said yes you have your purpose do you use your energy you know what. do you have facebook or give me all your passwords do you have medical records trend goes over to me to zero by the way all those bank accounts and all phone records you just give me for safe keeping you can have independent courts can you have any independent press. none of the n.s.a. now has the potential to know every source of every journalist and every story. following the e-mails following the phones following the people with their g.p.s.
9:47 am
with their with their rifle. this is. the op this year here and and i'm asked it of all hong same to him. and they are the masters or the general is not about. it's not about surveying me it's about surveillance us. it's about watching the company for everybody in the country and on a global scale. in harsh contrast to the recently emerged facts great public outcry has not yet been heard. now why don't people care in the u.k.
9:48 am
it's a very easy answer partly it's cultural because he's still in love with james bond and our political leaders immediately came out in defense of the intelligence agencies saying we know what they do they follow the law everyone go back to sleep don't worry so the train you sit in the u.k. it wasn't i think as i said usa brazil and germany but it's amazing how quickly people forget. this and this does my message out as. impertinent to mix my interest on the endorsement because well it's about persuasion and something kind of round of global swati put on so close to me in bushland down home dr devi nixon burger. king in that.
9:49 am
when it became known in autumn two thousand and thirteen that the private cell phone of german chancellor angela merkel was tapped by the n.s.a. the public outcry in germany was initially large until then the german american friendship had been close and germany believed to be an equal partner the united states. the friends spine and friends of course they do everybody does next i mean we caught the israelis spying on us several times what did that do to our relationship but not really anything because we know everybody does that ok if you're a leader of a country in the world you are a target everybody wants to know what you're thinking so you are a target friends and foes right everybody's looking to see or trying to find out what you're thinking universally true i mean that's that's why diplomacy was started right back and thousands of years ago so so i mean it's nothing new
9:50 am
chancellor merkel when she found out as to her private phone was being tapped i mean she should have and understood that from the beginning i mean or and her security should have told her that from the beginning and given her some protection since all the leaders understood it the fact that it's exposed you have to be a object maybe publicly but in reality afterward you the relationship is too important to jeopardize just for a simple thing that you already knew was happening. as a hypnotist and i know that this you mention. this into this year that in different states in fairness there will be key leaks against the n.s.a. affair that. flows. t.v. or two on buzz it was a few secret. life of a school. kind on the mukesh cuts on the getting votes again thus in the first government to only give us a visit that's only by my. problem
9:51 am
in relation to bald surveillance is exactly the same as the problem of global warming it's like i say it's not that i'm all effect here right now individually why is global warming interested in your and wise and i say interesting you quote a warming affects everyone because in general changing things folks ions affects everyone because it leads to a general change in the nature of c o i say should quite
9:52 am
