the u.s. government makes verizon turn over millions of americans phone records. is it an invasion of privacy, or crucial tool in the fight against terror? >> now, this picture has become a symbol of protest of the movement in turkey. who is the lady in red? >> and, brazil is no longer happy with its so-called i'm happy to be a prostitute campaign. that's right. we're going to tell you why the health minister changed his mind. welcome to "around the world." i'm suzanne malveaux. >> and i'm michael holmes. thanks for your company today. now, if you are a verizon customer, the federal government may have your number and the number of everyone you've been talking to here in the u.s. and overseas. >> so this is according to "the guardian" newspaper. the government asked for and got a secret order requiring verizon to turn over millions of phone records. now, privacy advocates as you can imagine are outraged.

the obama administration says it is about tracking down terrorists. >> dan lothian is at the white house for us. dan, the former vice president al gore calls this, i think his words were obscenely outrageous. the aclu says beyond some seeing this as the administration using the tools the bush administration put in to place to track to pen shl terrorists. what is verizon saying about it? >> as you know there have been a lot of questions, not only the obama administration but verizon as well. and so far they have been saying no comment. they still have not given any official comment to the media, but there was an internal memo that cnn did get a hold of. and as part of that memo it reads "verizon continually takes step to safeguard its customers privacy. nevertheless, the law authorizes the federal courts to order a company to provide information in certain circumstances, and if verizon were to receive such an order, we would be required to comply." so in that statement verizon not specifically, you know,

addressing an order but yet talking about the guidelines and what they would do. as for the obama administration, officials here not denying or confirming this order. but a senior administration official in a statement to cnn said in part "information of the sort described in the guardian article has been a critical tool in protecting the u.s. from terrorists threats to the united states." saying this is counterterrorism personnel could use or track to connect dots between a suspected terrorist and someone else who might be here in the united states. officials, again, stressing that what we're talking about here is metadata such as time or location of call, but we're not talking about listening in to conversations that people might be having. >> and, dan, we exclusively heard from diane feinstein and she seems to be defending this although there are a number of democrats and other

organizations who think this has definitely crossed the line from what the bush administration used to do. >> that's right. when you look back at what the bush administration did, yes, it was the same kind of activity that was more or less targeting phones overseas. so maybe communications between folks here in the united states and people overseas. but this is really focused internally within the united states. so raising a lot of questions there. but as you pointed out, senator feinstein a short time ago defending this practice and shedding a little bit more light on how it all works. >> as far as i know, this is the exact three-month renewal of what has been the case for the past seven years. this renewal is carried out by the court under the business record section of the patriot act. therefore, it is lawful. it has been briefed to congress. >> and officials pointing out that as part of this fiza system

that there is sort of oversight not only from a court but also from the justice department that in an effort to essentially relieve a lot of the concerns out there that this could be something that could be used for the wrong purposes. i should point out a short time ago attorney general eric holder was testifying up on capitol hill. he was asked to comment on this. he declined to comment, but he was asked by one lawmaker to brief lawmakers later, not only the attorney general but also the nsa, suzanne. >> dan, thanks. i believe we actually have some sound from the attorney general who was just asked about this. i believe that he actually addressed this. i want toten in here. >> i don't think this is an appropriate setting for me to discuss that issue. i'd be more than glad to come back in an appropriate setting to discuss the issues that you have raised. in this open forum -- >> i would say the correct answer would be no, we stayed

within our lane and i'm assuring you we did not spy on members of congress. >> you know, i would like to suggest something here. when i read the "new york times" this morning, it was like, oh, god, not one more thing. and not one more thing where we're trying to protect america and then it looks like we're spying on america. i think the full senate needs to get a brief on this. >> more to be discussed obviously on that. a lot of questions. >> yeah. the bush administration got a lot of heat for just allowing those conversations or even those records overseas to be tracked. now it looks like it's one step further. so people really want to know what's going on. >> u.s.-to-u.s. calls as well. well, we talked to some verizon customers to get their reaction to all of this. have a listen. >> i guess i would just want to know, you know, what the purpose of it is, you know. and then once i could know what the purpose of it is, then maybe i would be okay with it. >> i think it's a huge invasion of privacy. and i think it's very scary because, you know, what will that lead to next?

>> it's helping them to find terrorists or to prevent things from happening, absolutely, i would be willing to give that information. but i think it should be requested. >> who knows what they're going to do with it or whose hands it will get into. no, i don't agree with that at all. >> later during the hour we're going to talk with a national security analyst fran townsend about whether or not this is actually good national security policy, whether or not this goes too far. it really is about connecting the dots leading to terrorism. >> a lot of people think you have a database of bad guy numbers and run it against millions of other numbers without listening to phone calls and you might get a hit and that's all part of security, a lot of debate. >> israeli tanks have taken up positions on israel's side of the go lan heights. this comes after the move of syrian rebels battled forces right there. that happened earlier today. >> the rebels captured briefly syrians crossing into the golan heights which has strategic and

symbolic importance to israel and also a link if you like geographically between the south of the country and the capital damascus. >> fighting could be seen for miles. syrian forces retook the crossing after pounding rebel positions with tank fire. now, israel's military says it is trying to prevent a spillover of the violence. millions of people in the united states are about to get hit by tropical storm andrea. >> it is expected to make landfall, we're talking about florida panhandle, in just a couple of hours. plenty of folks already feeling the impact of this storm. >> george howell is in clearwater, florida, for us. george, what's it like? what's happening around you? paint a picture for us. >> michael, suzanne, good day. what a difference an hour makes because just an hour ago we were hit by this torrential rainfall, the winds were very intense. it's died down a bit, at least the rain has died down. and, guys, we're still feeling

the winds come in though. from what i understand with this particular storm, the wind gusts sustained right around 60 miles per hour, can get up to 70 miles per hour. and i tell you, we've seen it. i mean, it's blown things around as it's come through. keep in mind this is a minor tropical storm. so certainly a good knock on the door that hurricane season is here. i want to pan out here and take a look at what we're dealing with. you can see the white caps out there on the water. you get a sense of just how intense the winds can be out here. and the water level i have to say, guys, it's a lot higher than it was this morning. this morning we saw all the rainfall come in, all the winds. there was a concern about tornadic activity associated with several of these storm cells. there's the wind again coming through. you know, from what we understand, minor damage, minor reports of damage, but no major damage at this point. and the storm continues to track to the north as you mentioned through the florida panhandle up through south georgia. and, you know, at this point it seems like we've seen the worst

of it here on clearwater beach. >> do we think there's going to be a real big impact from this tropical storm later? >> a big impact? please say again? >> do you think there's going to be a real big impact as we see this developing throughout the day? >> sorry. it's hard to hear. possibly. especially when it comes to tourism. keep this in mind, people may have planned vacations to come here along the florida coastline and found themselves in the middle of this. again, it was a minor tropical storm, but just enough to cause inconvenience. there's a concern about rip tides out there. so you can't get in the water. the winds are really intense. you know, for people who may be here in hotels, they may just have to wait a day or two until this situation subsides. >> all right. george, be safe out there. we'll be keeping up with you throughout the day. well, central europe already dealing with massive flooding. we've been reporting on that. 15 people said to have died after days of intense rain and the flooding that followed.

>> and you've got homes, businesses under water. this is in the czech republic and germany as well. tens of thousands of people have now evacuated that area. the situation could get even worse. >> yeah, the swollen river could overflow it's banks in drezden germany today. matthew chance joins us from there. matthew, describe what's going on there. the river is cresting in certain parts and not even close to cresting in others as it moves on down. >> that's right. i mean, the dangers and the risks have been shifting along with the waters all the way down the river and along with all the other rivers that crisscross this part of central europe. let me just step away from the camera for a moment to show you the flood defenses that have been built here in the western part of dresden. you can see the sandbags that have been loaded up there. they're already soaking wet. just behind the sand banks you can see the water from the river has already broken through, about 500 yards or so from the

river banks itself. so at the moment it seems that the emergency workers who have been laboring to get these sand banks in place have contained the deluge. and it looks like that's going to be the end of it for dresden at least. because it looks like the waters have peaked at this point. and they're probably not going to get any higher. now, it's a very different story elsewhere in the region. i took a helicopter flight earlier today. and we look atd the scenes of utter devastation across this entire region with whole communities that have been inundated with water. really quite dramatic scenes. thousands and thousands of people have been displaced. 25,000 in germany alone, at least. and many, many more across the various countries here that have been so badly affected. >> unbelievable pictures there that you're watching. exclusive pictures. matthew chance, thank you so much. we appreciate it. we'll be keeping a close eye on that. it is now more than 24 hours since the building collapse in philadelphia. rescuers still looking for possible victims. >> yeah.

61-year-old woman one bright moment was pulled out alive, that happened just before midnight. the rescue of myra gave discouraged responders some joy because throughout the day they had carried out six people in body bags. >> she was the 14th survivor. philadelphia's mayor says most of the site has now been combed through and searched. >> 75% of the site has been searched. obviously that means that 25% yet still remains, part of which is the actual structure that you see behind you with the thrift store sign on it. there's also a wall to the south of the building that needs to be taken down. firefighters and search and rescue folks are very concerned about that. >> mayor michael nutter says that he expects the search is going to continue throughout this afternoon. and families of the six people killed, they're still being notified as we speak, which is why the victims names have not

yet been released. >> of course that all unfolding here on "around the world" yesterday. but, yeah, six deaths now. here's more of what we're working on this hour for "around the world." she has become now the face of the turkish protest movement. but it turns out the woman in the red dress is a little reluctant about her new role. and remember the australian that deejays prank called a royal family, now one has been named best deejay in the land. we'll tell you how he was choesen for that honor. and did the former head of the cia leak classified information to the filmmakers of "zero dark thirty"? a new report says yes. we'll tell you how it happened. ♪ ♪

bergdahl is being held. the taliban have released four videos of him over the years. none since 2011. well, the sky over istanbul a little clearer today. no teargas for the first time in what a week now. >> angry protesters, you know, they've been fighting along with riot police. this is not just in istanbul. very dramatic but in cities throughout turkey, more than 4,000 people reportedly hurt from all this. and it started when an environmental group came out simply against plans to bulldoze a park in istanbul. >> yeah, the police response was brutal. and public protests spread right throughout the country. the prime minister -- the deputy prime minister we should say later apologized for the use of force. people though still demanding that the p.m., step down. they're still going to raise that park. >> the anger, the symbol of that

anger really against the turk i ish government now has a face. this woman right here, it was captured a very powerful photo. now an unlikely celebrity. protesters in istanbul say she represents all of them. >> tremendous stuff. here's the story on her. >> a young woman in red, unaware she's about to become an inspiration. one of thousands of people protesting the raising of the park last friday, she was pepper sprayed by turkish police. within 24 hours of the image being shot, it was blown up on posters, one of which was plastered onto this wall near ta taksim square. it's been taken down since then, who knows by who, but there's no doubt that that vision of that young woman has become a symbol of the resistance here in turkey. the picture has swept social media and being used by newspapers and cartoonists. and the artist we met while

filming this piece showed me almost everyone in taksim square has something to say about her. >> does she look like a terrorist to you or a vandal? she was just a normal girl. me, you, normal woman, who came here to protect her rights. and she got pepper sprayed in the face. >> can i ask this lady whether she believes that that symbol has become iconic for the resistance? >> she said it was a really violent image and the police is attacking a woman, especially a woman doing nothing. she said we're all images. also this lady in red we have been here since day one. we're all images. >> indeed the lady in red recently identified has described this as a people's revolt. and she tells cnn she doesn't want to be the sole poster girl for the protests. becky anderson, cnn, istanbul. >> an incredible image when you take a look at that there.

all right. we got this safe sex campaign in brazil really triggering a public uproar over this. prostitution, as you know, legal in brazil. the government campaign is meant to encourage prostitutes to use condoms, also take away the sti stigma surrounding the job here. >> a lot of people say it goes too far, way too far.

they say the campaign name alone should have raised red flags. it's called "i'm happy being a prostitute." >> rafael romo joins us to talk with us. who's happy to be a prostitute, for god's sakes? how did they come up with this name? >> it was the minister of health office, aids and viral hepatitis and the idea was to in a way reach this community, the community of prostitutes in brazil, which is very large, and tell them about prevention programs to stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. but definitely as you can see it backfired. let's look at the image so that our viewers can decide for themselves if it's a little too much. the image in question was used publicly in brazil. and here it is. it says in portuguese -- in english, i am happy being a prostitute. a lot of people in brazil very

unhappy about this. brazil remains the country in the world with the largest population of catholics. there's also a large population of evangelicals. and they were complaining about this. they say this goes way too far, michael and suzanne. >> you've got of course the world cup coming, i think there's another big football competition coming up before that. but then the world cup, 2016 olympics, is the government trying to get ahead of that? >> well, you have to put everything in perspective. on the one hand the government of brazil and the ministry of health had been internationally recognized for being proactive. the approach to the problem of prostitution from the ministry has been we do have a big problem. we have to do something about it. we cannot hide it. and so what they have done is reached out to this community by the free distribution of condoms, by prevention programs that have worked very well. now, you mention there's two very large international events next year, the world cup. and in 2016 the olympics.

of course, you're going to have probably an increase in the number of prostitutes in brazil. and the idea behind the campaign was that to try to increase the knowledge. but then as you can see it backfired. >> yeah. >> a lot of people complaining about it. >> i notice too all of the ads here they have women, you know, prostitution is legal in brazil. what about the men? obviously there are male prostitutes as well. is this directed towards them, this campaign? >> it is directed to both women and men, but by far this problem is affecting women. and the other part of the campaign was trying to prevent abuse against prostitutes. but there's also the component and the main criticism from some of the conservative groups in brazil was we have a problem with very young people in their teens trying to enter the prostitution world and from their perspective, this kind of campaign promotes and encourages that kind of behavior. >> glamorizes it. >> yeah. letting people know in a way

that it is okay, that it is recognized by government and that the government doesn't have a problem with it. so that was one of the main concerns and problems. >> but ironically i suppose at the end of the day it's a public information campaign. we're talking about it. i bet this has raised around the world. >> let me tell you what the minister said about this. he was very firm about his reaction. he said for as long as i remain in office, an ad like that will not be part of our campaigns. this is alex and dre padilha. >> but they got the headlines already, which was the point. interesting. >> rafael, thank you. you kind of wish they spent the money and resources just trying to educate and help young people find alternatives to, you know, the life of prostitution, right? >> got to be the oddest line for an ad campaign ever. >> thank you. u.s. government makes verizon turn over millions of americans phone records. now, is this an invasion of

government says it is about tracking down terrorists, keeping us safe. but privacy groups say this is an example of big brother and the government intruding into all of our private lives.

>> we're talking about a report that the government asked for and got a secret order requiring verizon to turn over millions of phone records. it was first reported by britain's "the guardian" newspaper. >> i want to bring our national security analyst fran townsend and also former homeland security advisor for the bush administration. talk a little about this here, the center for constitutional rights says it really is the broadest surveillance order that was ever issued. do you see that? >> no. look, this is the one they know about, right? i understand there are concerns. but let's walk back and put this in context for our viewers. this went back to the bush administration where president bush signed an executive order directing the telecom companies to provide this sort of data. after some time after that program had been revealed, there's the re-authorization of the patriot act. section 215 is the business records provision. what that permits the government, the executive branch

to do is to go to an independent classified court, establish probable cause and ask to get metadata only. they don't get to get content, they don't get to listen or tape what's being said. they have to go back and get a separate warrant if they want to do that. and establish probable cause for that warrant. so this really is just the sort of external data to the calls. and, you know, look, members of congress from both sides have said -- and the administration have said -- >> so exactly then, fran, what are they looking for? i mean, americans going to be sitting back saying i didn't do anything wrong, why do they want my numbers of who i called and when i called them? perhaps they're comparing those numbers against a database of numbers of bad guys? >> they can do -- precisely

that. the other thing they're looking for is when there's an investigation, think to the most recent tragedy, the boston marathon bombing, you may identify some numbers and run them through to understand what numbers were they calling? who were their associates? you may find witnesses. i mean, it's a whole way of understands terrorist networks, infrastructure, support. and so that's why it's been such a valuable tool. and you can see how in this recent case it may have been useful. >> and, fran, you know you and i dealt with this extensively when i covered the bush administration. and the president, president bush, got a lot of flak for just collecting the records of these overseas calls, either they began or terminated overseas. what it looks like here is that this is a program that allows calls within the united states. is that justified? what is the reasoning behind that, do you think? >> well, you know, suzanne, you watch the current administration deal with this sort of

self-radicalized or lone wolf, the boston bombing. i mean, look, we're not -- it's not unique this problem that it emanates from overseas. the fact is we've seen tragic examples of how people are self-radicalized or radicalized over the internet. so all of these tools come together. but this is very much sort of, you know, the kind of data you're collecting is much more what we used to do by subpoena. and members of congress have been briefed. both the judiciary committees and the intelligence committees, members of both republican and democratic parties, congress has been well aware of this on the american people's behalf. and the law that enables this was passed by congress. so quite frankly, i mean, this is not just an issue for the administration. congress has got to justify to their constituents that they believe this was a law that was necessary and effective. >> all right. fran townsend, thank you, fran, good to see you as always. she's right, all three branches

of government involved in this one. everybody has to explain what this means to people who are angry. >> yeah, but in these days, if something bad happened, heaven forbid and people would then say why weren't you looking deeper? >> why couldn't you connect the dots, which was the big criticism of the bush administration. >> exactly. coming up, the world condemned two australian deejays after they prank called the royal family. >> now, one of those deejays is winning an award. stay with us. we'll have that when we come back. matt's brakes didn't sound right... ...so i brought my car to mike at meineke...

so you probably remember this story, this was back in december. this is the wife of prince william, kathrine, duchess of cambridge, in the hospital at the time. two deejays made a prank call

posing as a nurse. >> the nurse who put the call through later committed suicide. now, listen to this, one of those deejays is getting an award, from his employer, which is a big radio owning company in australia. >> so he was voted best deejay in the land. needless to say it's caused a lot of controversy here. we have details from max foster. watch. >> it was a prank that went horribly wrong. nurse found hanged three days after this call. >> hello there. could i please speak to kate, please, my granddaughter? >> by putting us through? >> yes. >> inquest later this year will try to determine if it was suicide. >> incredibly sorry for the situation and what's happened. and, you know, we hope they're doing okay and they're getting the love and support they deserve and need right now.

personally, i'm -- >> the two deejays apologized at the time. the woman hasn't been back to work since. her partner, michael christian, was put back on air by his employer. the company has now awarded christian the coveted title of next top jock, which included a free trip to los angeles. in a statement, christian said regardless of all that's happened in the past few months, i'm still at the top of my game. but australia's communication minister said to be awarding people so soon after such an event, i think is in bad taste. >> so we're just going to bash this kid for the rest of his life for one mistake he's made? i think you've got to, you know, you've got to -- it's a ter shl situation what happened, but the kid's a kid. >> i don't think it was really right because someone died. >> i think it's pretty bang out -- to be honest. after what he made that woman

do. >> no comment from the expectant duchess of cambridge or her husband, prince william, about the award. >> very controversial. max foster's joining us from london. max, obviously the family of the nurse who committed suicide can't be too pleased with this. do they have any response to this deejay getting this award? >> yeah, well, they described it as ludicrous. the m.p. has taken up their cause. he said giving this award is distasteful and disgraceful so soon after the tragic death of jacinta. inquest isn't until september. that's when we really get a sense of this. there's some suggestion that the deejays will go to that. so it was the timing and certainly a big p.r. goal for this radio station. >> all right. thank you, max.

appreciate that. >> interestingly he's back on air, but she is not. the woman deejay, she's not been put back on air. she's still employed but not back on the air yet. that's being discussed in australia as well. a chicago couple won a trip to cambodia turned into a mission to educate young women. >> their story up next. we went out and asked people a simple question: how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed much is the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪

remember yesterday we were reporting on chrysler saying no to the government recall of some of its suvs? it said no, there's no need, blah, blah, blah. >> nearly three million. >> three million. well, they are going to recall some other suvs apparently. to sort all this out poppy harlow joining us now. not the original recalls, totally different issues. what's going on? >> totally different recalls. if any drivers have these calls, they can be aware chrysler is voluntarily recalling these. they notified the government saying there may be issues so they're voluntarily recalling these. first off 409,000 total jeep patriot and compass suvs, the number you see on your screen is 254,000 because that is the number of those cars in the united states. they are from model years 2010 to 2012. the issue there is that they're worried that in a slow rollover event the seat belt may not be properly activated and the side

air bag may not properly deploy. so those are concerns in a slow rollover. you should take your car in to the dealership if you have one of those. second one, 221,000 wrangler suvs from model year 2012 and 2013. the issue here is that they're concerned a power steering component pay rub against the transmission fluid line and that could cause a lot of wear and ultimately possibly break that line so you could have a transmission spill that could disable your transmission. those are the two recalls today. what chrysler is saying, guys, is that they say there have been no accidents or injuries that they know of related to either of these. but they're doing this because of a result of their own investigation internally. but again, this comes days after they said no to nitsa, the government agency, calling them to recall 2.7 million of their jeep models. >> so, poppy, i mean it really

begs the question here, what is going on at chrysler and suvs? if you've got a 2.7 million that they refuse to recall that were supposedly having problems if you rear ended it that the car would explode. >> right. >> now you've got these models as well. do they have any explanation for why all these suvs that they're making, manufacturing here have these problems? >> so i think the big question here right is timing. so we just heard about that big recall request that they denied. and then we're hearing about this two days later. i asked chrysler, i just got off the phone with them, i said why are we seeing this timing the day after you're coming out saying you're going to recall these vehicles voluntarily but said no to what the government asked. they said nothing to do with timing here. every month apparently they have these meetings and go over all the investigations internally about their vehicles and decide if they're going to recall some of them depending on the results of those investigations. they told me those happen about the same time every month. and this timing is just a coincidence. but i did want to know what sparked these recalls. was it a complaint from an

agency, the government, drivers? what they told me is that wrangler recall on the wrangler models was driven by some customer complaints. but they told me there were no customer complaints about the patriot and compass models. and also we pulled up these letters, these are from the national highway traffic safety administration or nitsa and they do confirm chrysler notified them about these recalls, not the other way around. but this is -- timing is, again, right after that big recall request. chrysler is standing its ground, guys, on those 2.7 million vehicles that nitsa is asking them to recall. chrysler is standing its ground and we know from a source familiar with the situation that they will fight that recall, the separate recall we heard about earlier this week, all the way to federal court if they have to. they do not believe there's a safety concern there. >> okay. if you're an suv owner, go to our website and find out whether you're recalled or not recalled. >> right. >> poppy harlow there, thanks, poppy. >> a lot of people involved. >> yeah, really.

life action hero. >> welcome back to "around the world." california congresswoman tells us he was actually able to meet with russian leaders after the boston bombings thanks to seagal. he built a relationship with russian leader vladimir putin and other leaders through martial arts. >> because he's a black belt and a very well-respected actor. and i might let you know i've known steven seagal for a long time. he's a personal friend. and he knew we were going to russia. and because of his black belt and karate and things, he's gotten to know many of the leaders of russia, including putin, and was able to use that influence to make sure that we got to talk to the very top people so that we could try to find ways of expanding our areas of cooperation. you know, sometimes actors can actually go out and other than just act, they can actually do good things. >> i wonder if he's friends with this guy, dennis rodman. remember him traveling to north
