emily: it looks like one of google self driving cars got into a fender bender, and this time it is on google. this is the first time itself diving technology is partly to blame for an accident. they released a report about the incident which ca happened two weeks ago. the test driver, required to be the bus wouldeat,

yield, and did not have control of the collision happened. the vehicle was rolling at two miles an hour while the city bus was at 15 miles an hour when they collided no one was injured. let's get back to our top story, the conversation on encryption and privacy heads to the hill this week. they are preparing to get testimony on tuesday, and congress is considering a bill to create a digital security commission, bringing together government officials, tech industry leaders and privacy advocates to put forward recordation unwanted national policy should look like. i sat down before the same director to ask who is right, apple or the f the eye? -- or the fbi? they both need to come to the middle. my opinion for the question is not who is right for the phone to resolve this so that we have both, protections of civil liberties and privacy, and how

to ensure our security as a country? and how to redo the new ways of the american people know that communications are secure unless they're doing something that should not be doing. in the past you had the authority to get a war it. -- to get a warrant. but if you have encryption that cannot be broken, how does the government then go after bad guys? >> in it possible to have that? >> all things are possible. what i would do is get the greatest minds in industry to get to work with the government to create a solution that can be laid out the american people in a way that does both. i not for the government reading everybody's e-mail. that is not the fact. when you can see in the investigation after the edward snowden thing, they found out that the nsa was doing that the courts are congress, and executive branch asked us to do.

trampling were not over people's civil liberties and privacy. that is what came out. so how do we make them aware of the facts? i think if people understood the facts, and had that laid out, then what they can do is make a reasoned approach to how you stop terrorism. why do i say that? terrorism is going to grow. look at what is going on in the middle east. the middle east is breaking down, no matter what we say. we have some fundamental problems in the middle east. population 25% of unemployed. 82 million people. where do those 25% go? jihad -- a big group for jihad. but as a big problem in the united states, and for stability in the middle east for those who depend on oil. i think we have to solve that problem. i am not for a backdoor. i for a transparent front door

that tells the american people first how to solve this problem can and the second ticket to our allies and say is this an international solution that we can work with? you can see both sides of the argument, but i think the argument has become polarized around all one way or the other, when really what we want is the middle. intelligence and law-enforcement be undermined by having this conversation so publicly? >> there is a risk in that. that is a great question. as you see, what happened to bin laden after the east african embassy bombings in 1998, it was revealed that the community was tracking him with his satellite phone. and then three years later, 9/11 . and then the snowden links, and then we saw a lot of issues that

we were not going to be able to stop. in the past we have been able to stop things that the tele-community and law enforcement worked hand-in-hand in stopping. emily: you think the paris attack could have been stopped is edward snowden had not least that? >> what terrorists are learning or how to bypass intelligence and law enforcement. are we giving up more information, the answer is yes. that is going to make it more difficult. with that difficulty, if you look statistically at what we attacks thatut 54 25made public, we found that were in europe, 13 in the u.s., so that means you are twice as likely to have an attack in europe. said with trish regan back in

2014, but the most likely place to be hit was paris. for all these reasons. and it was. you're going to see increased attacks in europe and the united states. and we have lost capability. communications have been encrypted over the past decade, what would be different? is if you encrypt communications and the government cannot read the content when it is authorized by a court order to do so, and in that one that is where an al qaeda terrorist was talking to somebody colorado the nsa intercepted that. they talked about making bombs, and make sure that with the guy could go and find out who is this address, this phone number, and that led to him.

it was encrypted, all we would knows that somebody would talk to somebody in the united states. assessment that someone would have gotten through. subwaythe attack on the would've happened if mutations have been encrypted? >> yes. emily: more from my interview with the former nsa director coming up next. also, we continue the conversation, talking about the global repercussions of the apple at the idea encryption battle, straight ahead. and if you like bloomberg news, check us out on the radio. you can listen on the bloomberg bloomberg.com and sirius xm radio. more coming up next. ♪

they need to come to middle ground on this battle. i asked him why he thinks the standoff got to this point. >> i do not that the fbi chose this issue, and we were talking about this with a number of people. first, jim komi is the ultimate rational person. the head of the fbi. if you want somebody who was balanced in their approach, look at what he did on the nsa program in 2004. give ministersto to that individual this is i need this information. i do not think he does it cavalierly. this is an issue that has to be put forward. how do you do it? he has a good reason for doing that. it is not just give me that and let's see where this goes. i can see both sides of the issue, and apple is a this is

step one of what could be multiple steps. i say step back. step back and get the right solution. i question whether anybody should be able to defy a court order. that is something that has to be looked at separate. emily: do you think apple is being arrogant? >> i think there is a lot at stake. i can cfo apple's concern about if you do one, that is the gateway to many. i can see the end the a's concern that if you do not do this, we're going to have a problem in the future, and that gets back to the beginning. --in approach that does both you have to have an approach that does both. include apple in it. get their help. do not say to the government you cannot have this, good luck with you protecting our nation. the constitution is not a suicide pact. it is a constitution that was built to defend this nation.

if all of a sudden we are saying that we do not have to do this, i think we are in the wrong place. emily: is there a technical solution that actually is a middle ground? apple was being asked to create a key that could become a master key to all iphones. like cancers it is for iphones. it will put everybody who owns an iphone, hundreds of millions of people, at risk. does that give you pause? theret i would say is in -- is there a way to create a solution that can be held by a body or something that does allow the government and others to look at communications that they need to stop a terrorist attack? i would go to google, facebook, apple, ibm, the tech community. i would get some of the best experts in the world, and say can you come up with a solution? kid get folks like jeffrey stone, who is very rational,

shows that you protect both and come up with a solution that doesn't -- does it. emily: you think there is a way to get into this one iphone without compromising all of them? >> i am saying differently. i am saying to set up the process to do it, first. we will attack this one thing without having any solution. we have not driven to a solution yet. so what is the solution can put on the table that would allow others to say this is the solution we will give to you. they woulds the key, use it. the issue the government has is that we do not have a way of getting cremation. emily: is there a middle ground? >> i think so. it is a technical and policy solution. emily: apple is saying there's

no technical solution. >> i do not bind us. i think we have given up to click. that.o not buy i think we have given up too quickly. what we are saying is there is no solution without looking at everything to see if there's a better way. emily: apple think they have done do gelatin -- due diligence. >> you need to get to a solution that is better than where we are. -- how manyquestion lives would you want to lose to not have government been able to protect our people? that is the question. what you are saying right now is it could be an unlimited number because if we cannot read and we cannot stop it. good luck with that. i think that is the wrong approach. i am not saying you, free access to all communications. i saying there is a middle

ground. find the middle ground. apple operates around the world. if do this for the u.s. government whose to say thank you to this for the chinese government or the russian government? >> those are issues that apple and others are facing right now. when i would say is if we can come up with a solution that we, the united states can put forward as a ballast solution, that is the solution that is not we have hadook and a disconnect between industry and government. because of the edward snowden series of things. my perspective, it is in our nation's best interest to help apple, google and facebook. we have to come up with a solution, and that our government has to meet with other governments and work that solution. it has to be something that is balanced in that way.
