forward motion that i'd like to welcome it but what's important is that this motion leads to a complete verifiable and irreversible dismantlement of north korea's nuclear and missile programs north korea's promise to stop weapons testing didn't go that far it pledged to never use nuclear weapons unless there are nuclear threats and you clear provocations against it kathy novak al jazeera soul palestine's u.n. ambassador is calling for an independent investigation into israel's use of force on protesters for palestinians including a fifteen year old boy who were killed by israeli gunfire in another day of demonstrations on gaza's border also fighters in the rebel held area near syria's comparable are leaving under an evacuation deal brokered by russia syrian state television is showing buses with fighters and their families leaving color moon and traveling to northern syria. south africa's new president has called for calm after days of protests that have turned violent in the northern city demonstrators are

at the moment we are in a state of the universe like deception i took an oath to support on the constitution i take an oath sport and. started selling that was important was asked to call these people super heroes it is not so good because it search the work. 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. quietly so committed what drives. san francisco california. the cradle of a. 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 under one who isn't involved in the president being resigning because of his crimes against lee sure he made me notorious enough. that i can make a living here who literally. studied economics science at harvard in the one nine hundred fifty s. after graduating he enrolled like many fellow whistleblowers in the military. and of. you she courage here all around you of a conventional sure high courage you've been trained for you've been disciplined for but you sheer it happens you have the training works and people are risking their bodies and their lives 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 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 ellsberg 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 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 ferrie and actually did cooperate. so happens and she i couldn't figure

out why she wasn't indicted that way because she had don't want to copy. it or free her fragrance told the paper or here i thought it was because he 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 avoid it. i reel my shield for this same reason no deal. essentially we knew that other people would be suspected and 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 risk of democracy and the risks. mr

daniel ellsberg thank you. thank you have a third panelists will be joining us from russia one of the one of my 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 the usa now has a new public enemy number one. thanks to manning and now to you and getting more favorable publicity. and in forty years is already had.

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 you of course 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 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 a mayor and his members of the global community and know the broad outlines of government policies that have a significant impact on our 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 a reconnaissance a better country. and they're right by the way was the computers. this is it was a vast a world that you're now you gave you both as a person but in europe very quickly you have these old wars. is you know chaos puter. version of that or. 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 and 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. whatever you got in a 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 were 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 oil and intercept u.s. domestic communications on an extraordinarily broad scale. i was finding this out within days of nine eleven and others were coming to me say 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 it all mindset mentality what does that lead to well yes your. area zation you have these other interesting arrangements with certain internet providers and telecommunication concerns the temptations are enormous and it's like 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 and 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. . and 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 stay i chose to remain and fight from with it as long as i could i got mad at them you know so i my my objective was that counterattack 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 the right thing right after nine eleven trying to make 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 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 of at the end of october day two thousand and one. one year later binney 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. this man this is his friend came here telling integrity of the fifty two really.

believe her this is the path you think side of it you to let me clear the street like tom drake and he said tell me this integrity is pretty. is this yours. or worse of you. so think you know. i knew every major leader in the city general hayden personally and i have to say that i met. with through the take pretty character since i left sid. opted out of the system his colleague thomas drake fought 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 on americans our war you don't understand what i confronted my boss i go to the oed the officer 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 of the master valence program the digital dragnet what do you do i chose to blow 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 in encrypted form to communicate. honestly 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. 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 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. i don't think mr snowden was a patriot. the way in which these disclosures happen.

have been damaging to be united states and damaging to our intelligence capabilities people ask as i see it is the patriot or traitor you know that's the headline in all these things edward snowden patriot sure that drives me nuts the very thought you know that people could regard it was 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. you know who was the one person can i say who did what he absolutely should have done how many people should have done what you did thank

what. is revealing is a global trip to the tension for democracy any. being a patriot doesn't rule you know obedience to authority. hiding aside your obligations to your people to your country for the benefit of your government is the opposite of it isn't. until the revelations by edward snowden the warnings of intelligence agency critics were always shrugged off as speculation only after he had published all the original n.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 trick. manning and i gave the documents less than one percent of the starting documents have been published that's terrible terrible things those those documents do not belong. to a journal they do not belong to or. to the national security agency they belong to history. something that has gone through every single one of us have been has been a victim of the national security agency spying all human beings is the internet. the victims of it and the victims deserve to know what has happened to them.

so 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 off documents so that all the technical industries. hackers and computer programmers can go over and over governments can work out how to protect us. julian a son hacker and journalist was interested in computer programming from an early age as a teenager he had already happened to 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 are ellsberg was an insider. was an insider. would say that i was never in side up. i was.

inside. you know a tree and intelligence and big companies. as a computer hacker and later as an olive analyst analyzing their material. so i had it set it came sense for what they were about that i never had the view that one should work for these organizations. the people who were in the u.s. national security system it was like their own drug. drug but that made them powerful because there were groups that had a lot of power and that system has a way of talking about how the world would 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 work that system but the more recent was the blows they still have perhaps

some way to go. the only difference i have for the charges i think the only cure is i think that he probably believes more in the value of total truth or near total transparency tonight as. to one predictable details i've been working on north korea policy for almost thirty years i can't tell you what the u.s. policy is towards north korea vying for to know what they want to deter an attack from the united states as the us struggles to define its foreign policy front lines examines the potential fallout so we don't see really is a strategy designed to get those talks started because if they expect a surrender fire and fury trumps north korea crisis on al-jazeera. the nature news as it breaks this was a great election about it was going to win but it was about by how much with

detailed coverage the syrian civil war no that said toots what is different is that each day some people will live until tomorrow many innocent people will die from around the world the bats and balls are several years old the really good players could end up trading a cricket academy and maybe one day playing for the national team. if you are in beijing looking out the pacific ocean you'd see american warships. was that somehow time is aiming to replace america and around the world well the chinese are not that stupid these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our first president george washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china part one on a just. oh

your child is there i'm still raman in doha these are all top news stories north korea says it's stopping all nuclear bomb and missile tests to pursue peace and economic growth instead the e.u. and the u.k. are calling the move to stop a positive step forward the announcement comes ahead of plan summits with south korea and the united states so we have to judge chip we will discontinue nuclear testing and intercontinental ballistic rocket test firings from april twenty first the northern nuclear test of the d.p. r. k. will also be dismantled to transparently guarantee the discontinuance of nuclear testing that this continuance of the nuclear test is an important process for the worldwide disarmament and the t.p.r. cable joint international desire and efforts for a total halt to nuclear testing the d.p. r. k.

will never use nuclear weapons nor transfer them or nuclear technology under any circumstances unless there is a nuclear threat or provocation against the d.p. r. k. . iran's president says the country's atomic energy body is ready with expected and unexpected actions if the us pulls out of the nuclear pact has some rouhani did not elaborate home what they mean donald trump has hinted about leaving the pact next month. fighters in a rebel held area of syria's capital are leaving under an evacuation deal brokered by russia syrian state television is showing buses with fighters and their families leaving moon and traveling to northern syria. palestine's un ambassador is calling for an independent investigation into israel's use of force on protesters for palestinians including a fifteen year old boy were killed by israeli gunfire in another day of demonstrations on the gaza israel border. meanwhile police are reportedly evicted the family of an officer who testified that he helped entrap to reuters reporters

while loan and choice who are facing fourteen years in prison violating state secrets law by acquiring official documents but a police captain testified that they gave them the documents to entrap the captain's wife says they've been ordered to move out of police accommodation. the us democratic party is suing donald trump's campaign russia and wiki leaks founder julian assange for alleged collusion in the twenty sixteen presidential election they accused russia of informing trump advisors of a cyber attack that leaked information about hillary clinton those were the headlines i see in half an hour for the al-jazeera news hour.

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. in the us to get on here as he. does. on. dog in afghanistan. also afghanistan saying this just as a rhetorical counterattack which is like something out of. it is to say no no no you do that. and. unfortunately. the us press is sort of. so. that 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 one 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 threaten military lives exposing corruption fraud waste and abuse doesn't threaten military lives continuing then threatens military lives now the end result is that the force 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 a common name a collective mission of this broad alliance and wild mix of patriotic it secret service agents and arctic hackers cyberpunks and intellectual publicists. a 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 nondisclosure agreement and we also took the oath to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic so that means even our 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 pious where you have access to information you have access your eye witness such an eyewitness or you or you were brought into awareness. especially when you've got someone have

a specific going past it. when he's been off their mind i'm just mundus contest is gone is to advance initiative under suspension what events on this have. then been . tons of my fondest bits and but of tons of. this was done on psych this does. have an advantage. so all of sudden bosses would need someone to fuck. off and mention the fed it isn't me. this isn't this is going for. the. high profile leaks we fun fun fun mending friends know odin. but so. does fun but this kind of. this is absolute no definition and i know stephen's equal have always. been. to call these people super heroes is not so good because it. will they get it i remember that he got a superhero who thinks of himself as

a superhero me not you know we're sixteen year old. dreamer. who gets your excuse for not doing it it doesn't take a shooter and these people none of these people were going to turn to. michael and he thought it was no wouldn't it is the name go on to a. few months to a month on clothes and most of whom this is. often installed the. only sign in. fact you know who become to be annoying because of us and we could put in who becomes the end of the on the inside thing was going with this all the. to push it's own somebody khana is presumed to do is of interest because that's all in all though that's because in the in the chilis it was snowden into and on to at least seem to even. seem to even want to seem to. him this is.

what i see well most if it's node and it's not in this i'm building scene. to meet me snowden says the monday julian is posted to be interested in emily coming to tony's top of the top officer vowed not to let this be an issue a month and that. is not tradition have to consequence and vince. then gets to live no from one of. the up this with the does it slip that many identity for. kids does testify to the picking but that's most of the pledge attention that doesn't move into minds to most this tool.

each democracy punch. each country whether it's going to be democratic or not knowing every she goes to private lives of all of their citizens to religious leaders through journalists there are judges and they're ordinary people who could be turned into informants. with those people knowing almost nothing about the good of the good will be ok that she grew 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 more or you're not an invalid. and so your secret. if you don't have prissy in your communications if you can't guarantee they can hold a telephone conversation or rational a 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. is a former agent of the british national intelligence agency m i five. even going to withdraw a little bit feel normal life because you're told you can't mention you're being recruited by five and that means that people tend to focus much more on their life within m i five see begin to socialize a lot more with other people there because you can talk that stuff. and also you end up mainly in the relationships with your fellow intelligence officers this is 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 thousand nine hundred seventy 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 the whistle on a series of crimes with five. we were very conscious of exactly how they could be termed here celeste it is so where every week. thought well the telephone might be compromised the computer would be completely honest there might be microphones in where we were living there might be video cameras recording what we did and also people might be turned to put against us so they're all these different techniques that they can use and this is way back in the ninety's the end of year or so even at that point when we were on the run from ever cross europe we used 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 he will allow the other person to eat that message so there's no or dear there 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 pulverized the ashes and the cost it the wins. to do because we know that our computers our telephones all of that can be compromised the video can be switched on the audit committee switched on that 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. now only seems a question of time how does this change our behavior if every move we make every word we say is recorded a nationalized which rolls will we have to play and who's writing the script. having lived with that sense of endemic surveillance i can tell you it's a corrosive to human spirit so once you lose that sense prissie 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 us how innocent 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. you say you have nothing to hide see it nothing to worry about i have nothing to fear look here all the language ok fine church heard your individual or her house yes well just give me your keys yeah the car already rather readily says yes you have your purpose do you use of google eulogy you know if. you have facebook

or give me all your passwords you have a medical records trudeau's over to me to oh i the way all the bank accounts and all phone records it is given to me for safe keeping you have independent courts can you have an independent critch none of the n.s.a. now has the potential to know every source of every journalist of every story. by following the e-mails following the forms following the people with their g.p.s. with their rifles. this is. the op this year here and. talk to me at the meeting master the world in general is not about certainly it's not about surrendering 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. it's a very easy answer partly it's cultural because he still in love with james bond and 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 frame you sit in the u.k. and it wasn't i think in as i said usa brazil and germany but it's amazing how quickly people forget. this and just as my message of. the next move is presented in front of persuasion and something kind of round of. me

and bush one. t.v. nixon burger middle boy you. can get into it. 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 it everybody does this i mean we caught the israelis spying on us several times what did it 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're 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 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 there 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 humanist and i know this you mention. this into this year that in different states and that would be key leaks it's the n.s.a.

affair the. t.v. or two on was a was intrusive. kind on the mukesh. what's the cinema before google now to only give us a visit that's only part my. problem in relation to bulk surveillance is exactly the same as the

problem of global warming second i say let's look at it over the fact here right now individually why is global warming interested in your and why is an essay interesting you quote a warning affects everyone because in general changing things folks surveillance affects everyone because it leads to a general change in the nature of say oh i say should quite a warming is invisible. it's impenetrable you're only trying to glimpse maybe today was a bit harder i don't know coincidence or. similarly massive surveillance is invisible it's conducted at these points that connect continents together or by his eyes taking its fangs into google. and these are extremely physical and complex technologies that everyone except specialists does not understand specialists understand that and saying everyone else my god can you see what's happening

through a relation to greenhouse gas as climate scientists understand it saying my god can you see what's happening in the case of. climate science well there's a counter lobby which is the fossil fuel companies and all those profiting from that in the case of boxer violence there's the surveillance industry and intelligence agencies and so on and all those who are sucking down that information and profit from it and inform all the other direction so very similar. the fear of terrorist attacks makes the mass surveillance a necessary evil for many the much quoted if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear after legitimizes the snooping of covert agencies yet many are unaware of the actual extent of the surveillance. basically a big data program which provides the raw data and then the analyze it so it can be

subjected to rules written. or. it says everything do. is being analyzed it's being weighed it's being measured. but the intelligence services are not the only ones monitoring communications and processing massive data. also private. corporations like google amazon facebook and apple collect millions of pieces of information about us to analyze and monetize. that saying look is this our soul that's not on sacked that i am personally data center or stuff this i don't science there and that's is this there are no in
