on wednesday evening in the area of the bangladeshi capital in the crammed old city it quickly spread to surrounding buildings by plastics and chemical warehouses. witnesses told local media that gas cylinders in the buildings exploded one after another. in vehicles gridlocked in nearby streets in the flames. i saw with my own eyes that a sudden massive bang with fire and shock waves totally destroyed the right side wall i was on a rickshaw when the explosion took place i don't think my rickshaw driver is a log anymore. this mangled wreckage is all that's left now as emergency workers calm the rubble for bodies they don't expect to find any more survivors. in the hospital nearby distraught families crowd around lists of the living and the deed it's a saying that's been repeated far too often in bangladesh where large building

9:05 am
at the moment we are in a state of the universe like deception i took an oath to support for the constitution i take it all its forms i. started selling that was important and was asked to call these people superheroes it is not so good because the church that work. for some people their superheroes for others simply traitors whistleblowers like daniel ellsberg thomas drake william binney and would snowden.
9:06 am
hackers and activists like the wiki leaks founder julian assange and the former british secret service agent an emotional they want to say about 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 them. to. san francisco california. the cradle of our modern day. puter industry home to creative technicians and visionaries hackers and whistleblowers.
9:07 am
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
9:08 am
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 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
9:09 am
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 there after remained a free man. if they arrest me or indict me then i will say it was only me.
9:10 am
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 done what a copy. had a tree her fragrance folded paper over 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 dear. essentially we knew that other people would be suspected and maybe even charged with concern consensual evidence against. people who might look more more guilty than you did.
9:11 am
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
9:12 am
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 was having a live conversation with snowden we have a front as a mayor and as members of the global community and know the broad outlines of the policies that have a significant impact on our lives and i think that's something that tom grant
9:13 am
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 then by. the way it was computers. this is it was a vast a world that you're now you you bowl is particularly your very quickly you know the old or this. is you know chaos puter. virtual that are
9:14 am
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. 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
9:15 am
attention of others tools techniques programs things are in the lab things are pilots things are 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 at 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 saying what are we doing to . 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.
9:16 am
dollars in two thousand and thirteen. the surveillance programs continued 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 you're. korea zation you have these other interesting arrangements with certain internet providers and telecommunication concerns it's a temptation is 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
9:17 am
with the massive expansion of surveillance since 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 what 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
9:18 am
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
9:19 am
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 following 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 binnie became a combative whistleblower a role model for many today.
9:20 am
this illness is his friend came here telling integrity of the fifty two really. believe her presents the patches the side that you will between two money clip that series like tom drake and use to tell it is integrity is pretty. as is yours associates are told and so 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 taker the character since i left sid. opted out of the system his colleague thomas drake fought against the violation of
9:21 am
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 do you cannot spy on americans out of war you don't understand what i confronted my boss i go to the oed 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 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.
9:22 am
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
9:23 am
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 or 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
9:24 am
presented so far. no who was the one person to say who did what he absolutely should have done how many people should have done what you did what. is revealing is a global tribute to the tension for tomorrow she any. being a patriot doesn't rule. obedience to authority. putting aside your obligations to your people to your country for the benefit of your government is the office and 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 n.s.a. documents was there proof and concrete evidence provided for the first time.
9:25 am
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 thing those documents do not belong to a journalist they do not belong to or. to the national security agency they belong to history. of something that has gone through every single one of us have been has been a victim of 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.
9:26 am
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 enough documents so that all the technical industries. hackers and computer programmers can go over and over governments can work out how to protect themselves. 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 website wiki leaks which publishes secret documents of
9:27 am
governments intelligence agencies and corporations i know ellsberg was an insider. was an insider. would say that i was never inside but i was. inside. you know titans of big companies. as a computer hacker and later as an owl and almost analyzing their material. so i had it set it came sense for what they were about but i never had the fear that one should work for these organizations. for people who were in the u.s. national security system it was like there are drug. drug that made them powerful because there were groups that have a lot of power and. system has a way of talking about how the world works and how tonight states
9:28 am
empire is a good thing. long time drug out of the system. system but the more recent whistleblowers they still have. some way to go the only difference. is i think. is i think that he probably believes more. total or near. until now the coverage of. todd's tragedies. but not how people feel how they think and that's what we do anyway five and a half months demanding it when education system that was introduced to. america has come to fill
9:29 am
a void that needed to be sealed. going green bacteria in a bored tree and super heated gas escaping from boca in iceland this is really the thoughts of innovation in the for what happens to experiments both exploring and. how counter the impacts of climate change the science of capturing call that using made chaff i'm a scientific on the back i'm a tate and i might just have to contend. on autism. al-jazeera. and.
9:30 am
hello i'm a saucy attain doha with the headlines on al-jazeera a fire has destroyed several buildings in an old part of the bangladeshi capital dhaka at least seventy people have died but that number is expected to rise the buildings housed residential apartments as well as plastics and chemicals choudhry has. one of the cars run on natural gas yet said the cylinder exploded out of the car went off few feet i have explosion spread to the restaurant in that building your house cylinder that exploded and there was a storage underneath for. the fire spread easily and destroy it least four houses
9:31 am
at least a dozen people in that wedding procession or people in the street that there were in the richest got burned. according to the witness some of them died on the spot due to the explosion western governments are ruling on whether eisel faces and their families can return home one thousand year old to me in a bag and has been stripped of her british citizenship and donald trump has directed the state department to stop american born from returning home. i still controlled once controlled most of eastern syria and a third of iraq but now it's on the brink of defeat with its territory reduced to just a sliver of us backed syrian democratic forces have started to move civilians from syria's eastern village of bugaboos the s.t.'s says a number of civilians and i still fighters are still inside the armed groups remaining on clave the head of the catholic church has angered survivors of sexual abuse before a four day conference at the vatican even begins the pope failed to show up to
9:32 am
a meeting with victims on wednesday ahead of his summit with. the u.k.'s prime minister has been in brussels for more talks aimed at breaking the brakes at deadlock to resume a's visit came as three pro e.u. politicians broke away from her ruling conservative party have brakes its strategy . tech giant google says its failure to inform uses a hidden microphone inside its nest god home security device was a quote era on its pos it emerged the product had a built in microphones when google announced it would soon start supporting the voice command assistant google says the microphones have to be activated but privacy advocates say if the equipment should never have had secret microphones those are the headlines now back to digital dissidents the news continues after that.
9:33 am
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. to get on here as
9:34 am
a front if you're going to. fall on what we was dominant. in or make it fall on. somebody kind of dog in afghanistan also afghanistan's entry there's just as rhetorical counterattack just like something out of. it is to say no no no you do that. and. unfortunately. the us press is sort of. so. but it preprinted it's nonsense so what he needs reveals very concretely the string accurate documentation of 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
9:35 am
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 them 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
9:36 am
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 exceeded 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 that 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
9:37 am
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 to see it. when he's been off their mind i'm just mundus contest is gonna have to funds initiative and association with you but some of us have office then. tons of my phone baskets in and out of tons of. buses i'm done on site this does. have an advantage. so
9:38 am
all of sudden bosses would need someone to fuck. off and mention the fed it isn't me. me this isn't this is going for. the. high profile leaks we fun fun fun mending friends no odin. but it does fun but it's kind not when it's. this absolute movement and i know steve music will have always just i mean this to call these people superheroes is not so good because it. will they get it i admire that but they're not me i'm not a superhero who thinks of themselves as a superhero or me not you know we're sixteen year old. dreamer. who gets your excuse for not doing it it doesn't take a ship or here these people know these people were going to turn the ship are here
9:39 am
michael in the fog 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 its own somebody khana is presumed to do is of interest and because that's all in all though. it's because in the in the chilis it was snowden intended on the at least seem to even. seem to even want to seem to. him this is. what i see when was it puts node and its name to somebody and seen him on the snowden or does it seem under julian especially to be interested in emily coming to tony's top of the top officer vowed not to let this be
9:40 am
a nation. that is not traditionally have to the consequence of events. then gets to have no if someone does it. up this with the best of a dozen sleuths are many identity for. does. the picking but that's most in the pledge attention that doesn't mean we have a new mind to most this tool. each democracy punch with. each country whether it's going to be democratic or not knowing every she is going to private lives of all of their citizens to religious
9:41 am
leaders through journalists their judges and their ordinary people could be turned into informants. with those people knowing almost nothing about the good of the government be or create that she grew too and the people being transparent you guys this is the most ridiculous i've ever seen you know you fire everybody in the country and everybody in war 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 sell 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
9:42 am
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 officer 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 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 the whistle on a series of crimes when i thought. we were very conscious of exactly how they could
9:43 am
be targeting us and investigate yes so where every week. thought well the telephone might be compromised the computer would become pleased 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 vote against us so they're all these different techniques that they can use and this is way back in the ninety's and a lot here so even at that point where we are on the run from the left of course 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 a piece of paper and then you allow the other person to eat that message so there is no order you there can be no video and there could be no in print under that one piece of paper then of course you have to get rid of that piece of paper so you
9:44 am
have to burn it up pulverised the ashes and the cost it the winds all to actually start anew 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 maybe they can log what we write on the keyboard they can even and this comes from the snowden disclosures they can even use my queries apparently to being more 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.
9:45 am
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 roles will we have to play and whose writing script. having lived with that sense in demick 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 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.
9:46 am
you say you have nothing to hide see it nothing to worry about i have nothing to fear you'll hear all the language ok fine church heard your individual or her house yes well just give your keys your car already car other road of the city 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 by the way all those bank accounts and all phone records you're just given to me for safe keeping you can 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.
9:47 am
emails. following the people with their g.p.s. with their with their rifle. this is. the op this year here and and i mustn't. talk to. master or in general is not about. 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
9:48 am
been heard. now why don't people care in the u.k. it's a very easy answer partly it's cultural because he's 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 a usa brazil and germany but it's amazing how quickly people forget or in this and this does my message to. the next move is presented in front of this nation and something kind of round of. me in bushland. t.v. nixon burger. king and 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. new friends spine and friends of course they do 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 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
9:50 am
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 you have anything i know of this dimension. this into this year that are in different states and the would be key leaks it's the n.s.a. affair that. looks. to be a tool in was all ha's intrusive. kind on the mukesh. what's the cinema before google now to only give us
9:51 am
a visit that's only part my. problem in relation to bulk surveillance is exactly the same as the problem of global warming exactly the say it's not that of all the fact here right now individually why is global warming interested in your and why santa st is in your corner warming affects everyone because in general changing things folks
9:52 am
