8:06 pm
started rights. i am heartened by the response by act of political expression in both the united states and beyond citizens around the world is full of high officials including the united states have judged the revelation of an unaccountable system a pervasive surveillance to be a service. today german interior minister hans peter friedrich confirm that he's trying to find a way to bring snowed in in the country to testify in front of german officials the doc can be difficult since the data were certainly use russia. you will lose his sight on their meaning in a deal that the spying journey house to come with new protections for snowden. a press conference mr straw will discuss this issue. with the calm before the exam. two days ago i sent two letters the good parts of the us congress the senate and house of representatives and are further consultation in talks between the chairman who has died the parliamentarian control board. maybe also a board of inquiry to see together how
8:07 pm
we can solve the problems in one of the center problems will also be the question what will happen with edward snow. so while the germans looked into reaching out to snowdon sector to john kerry responded to growing criticism worldwide over us spy. he went farther than any senior official the white house is gone. in criticizing us these activities historians say while speaking to the open government partnership summit in london is there. i know some of these actions is reaching for a new venture that is the senator kerry's comments come after a donation to your lawmaker spent a good portion of the week in talks with intelligence officials right here in washington d c trying to get an explanation on this this activity is spying on world leaders. meanwhile the white house continues in its review of u s

surveillance program. senior obama administration official told reuters. the last few weeks present obama decided to put an end to spying on the un headquarters in new york. us officials said the president also halted spying on the world bank and international monetary fund even though it had never been revealed that such spying was going on. this could be the first in a series of denials been on the accusations coming from the white house and trezeguet in front of the next series of nsa weeks the movie chapel hill where yesterday the senate intelligence committee. move legislation for to addressing the recent nsa revelations the chairwoman of the committee senator dianne feinstein a year or so and as a supporter. however the legislation known as the pies the improvements are saying she believes the reforms in the bill are quote prudence responsible and people. critics of the bill say it falls well short of meaningful reform and they say that actually gives the nsa more legal

protections to conduct its full collection of mutation records under section two fifteen of the page or not mercer has lead to build a secret a reinterpretation of sections two fifteen the patriarchs by the nsa and the plaza core. but that is the enormous power to collector americans' phone records. feinstein bill or move this program from murky legal grounds and officially codified into law. electronic frontier foundation called the bill disingenuous saying don't be fooled. the bill caught up on some of the industry's worst practices would be a huge setback for everyone's privacy and it would firmly entrenched and says collection of every phone record held by us telecoms this is not an essay reform bill is an nsa entrenched its bill. and senator mark udall has been critical of the nsa argued this is an ongoing basis surveillance of americans' private information does not respect our constitutional values and needs fundamental reform. not
8:10 pm
incidental changes portion of the bill passed by the senate intelligence committee does not go far enough to address this is overreaching domestic surveillance programs senator you're no instead supports a bill introduced earlierhis week by senator patrick leahy and by congressman jim sensenbrenner in the house. the bipartisan bill. there were altogether and use this ability conduct ball clutching the phone records. trees in the coming weeks are in the coming months there'll be a showdown in congress over what's an essay reform should look like to just how far it should go earlier joined by elizabeth quarantine and co director of the liberty and national security program at the brennan center for justice. she started by saying we're senator feinstein still ranks with other anti reform efforts coming down the pike on capitol hill. well senator feinstein still aids in africa as the center earlier to codified the nsa simple collection of americans' telephone records which he is
8:11 pm
in fact on shaky legal footing right now it's through that then secrets lies a court has approved the program but in finland the legality of that program ever came before. analysts say we'll porridge but when the other article three chords on it. i believe it's very unlikely that would be up out so late senator feinstein still we do is to remove any statutory challenge to this practice and conduct by an inch right next to mom and me her bill includes a number of things like allowing the top secret files the court. click images for use on certain issues for privacy issues. it changes how the nsa chief has appointed just may they all seem like very cosmetic reforms but this ballclub data collection program is the most egregious one of the most egregious revelations have come out this would really outraged lawmakers we heard from jim sensenbrenner wrote the paychecks. this is not any idea how to. so she's basically doing yes a huge favor by taking his most
8:12 pm
controversial program and legal assistance and that's correct and is another program that's being legalized in this tale which has not got as much attention as it is a very shy which is the back door search is on international communications that are acquired under the section seventeen of the fights and many. this is a doctor a loophole that ron wyden and warned about the fact the answer what is happening is that the nsa is allowed under the fine sentiments asked to go collapse huge amounts of communications of people were suspected to be foreigners overseas without any individual court because they are foreigners overseas. what ends up happening is the nse scoops up a lot of communications between people overseas and americans and also ends up scooping a lot of purely domestic communications of americans into that style as well these are all communications americans' communications that the nsa we needed individualized order court order or warrant to look at
8:13 pm
under ordinary circumstances but what they're doing is once they collect in under five seven and in fact they are saying that they can then go searching for the needs of americans. it is for but it's a backdoor way around the warrant requirement of the fourth and this is a normally it did under normal quarter she said they would have to target individuals that they're going for them to prove show evidence of whiners reasonable costs is why they're going to go out to these people. but now that isaac or just proves this point that searching than the nsa can go and run these algorithms eclectic his desire giants these giant database is that they can then search for a chick like americans and the fights of einstein's bill basically caught by some as well. life as well even though it seems quite strikingly against the spirit if not the letter of the summer that i kidding restrictions in the fine sentiments that. senator feinstein sits on the senate intelligence committee that's very powerful position up her counterpart in the house mike rogers sits on the house intelligence committee of both these individuals have
8:14 pm
been very deferential to the dentist said that the defendant had defended this and i interviewed alan grayson few days ago he said that the congressional intelligence committees have become apologists for the surveillance state complex. we're told that these programs have that oversight. coming from congress coming from the fight to court. how can we believe any of this stuff when they win these oversight committees are basically giving the nsa a huge favor well this is the question is and what is what kind of oversight. we have in place in the second question is whether the programs that are being overseen and the programs that are being overseen the nsa to actually lay to collect information about americans without any reason to suspect that there's any kind of connection to an international or a foreign power. the oversight in the worlds an epic that oversight finds that the program is operating as intended the province still isn't operating in a way that's consistent with america's liberty is to make of lawmakers like jim
8:15 pm
sensenbrenner say hey when i read the patriot act i never anticipated that section two fifteen and interpret it the way but it was interpreted as the two is a legitimate claim nor should they share the blame for all passing a pitcher not back in two thousand won and not be surprise that this is done with that what they did with the beloved salem. i think that a lot of people were concerned that sad these powers are kids and the key to act when too far and could be abused and could be pushed back the boundaries and to allow something like a collection that's a time i don't believe that at that time that the ball collection as i read that section fifteen of the pt act was passed. anyone who voted for a announcing that it would be used to collect all americans' telephone records that simply does not something you can get from reading the text of the tunnel. one of you. spy chief said in june alone standard denied clever. they keep repeating this line to justify the ball collection program by saying you need a
8:16 pm
haystack to find the needle does that make any sense to you. the only makes sense if finally me awake surely random process in which to justify the needle is to scatter about as much hay as possible. this is not a good analogy for how an efficient intelligence prophecies work out that that the most effective and a form of intelligence and then this is a symphony has come from intelligence professionals themselves on comes from following no means no associations with people towards the acting was only when we started heading out to cling to the snp open sets the standard weeks until they have reasonable suspicion. so what's the harm him or crying than ten weeks with a reasonable suspicion and then request to spill was back to the telephone company is just the last thirty seconds here or there were four this particular form you see coming out of commerce or worthwhile that people should be paying attention to him and slowly i think the usa freedom act that was introduced by a representative sensenbrenner and senator leahy in
8:17 pm
the senate on the is is a very sensible measure it and fall collection and a pen as it closes this back door but it's still enables the nsa and other intelligence agencies to get the information the need to prevent attacks that sounds like a good start when it comes to confronting this month so that's been rebuilt i couldn't make out with a core team co director of the liberty national security program at the brennan center for justice. it is november first and internationally imposed deadline for syria to have all its chemical weapons production and mixing facilities destroyed. on thursday the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons announce that syria will indeed meet this deadline for twenty one twenty three declared chemical weapons sites officially inspected by the joint hope ecw and un mission. it is post where is on the ground in damascus with more. dangerous conditions. that's how the noble please commit to describe the work of chemical britain because he finds them yet. to maintain the boutique
8:18 pm
like dateline october twenty find damascus to my pt tell candidates chemical weapons stockpiles done. october twenty seven foreign inspectors visited or decay sites midst. and by today to finish his schooling or equipment used in the production and mixing up wasting gas and nerve agents done yesterday we shot him in it. i mean whatever we can but with all this is a vertical concluded that persists complications field on so called security concerns. and that's the reason why twenty nine reading has been missed the biggest problems it faces is how to access sites in rebel controlled areas. so far the liberals have seemed unwilling to cooperate inspectors have managed to visit one of the fine. and although they haven't been to be named to the polls masterson says it's doing each day. to mild. those
8:19 pm
sites being visited. under government control. we're hopeless while importing be a mom to groups condemn. to implement or debt expected to improve. it's the most difficult mission is undertaken by the organization for the preservation of the rooms destroying the country's chemical weapons stockpile in the midst of a civil war to him and i'm into syria actually stopped producing chemical weapons in nineteen ninety eight. as it is as old time tunes that can be a strategic substitution an awesome competence national mall. the reason why aren't they. the space. the chemical attack on a completely fenced in which hundreds of people were killed off the bulk of the seven gas refining mask and sometimes those responsible are still employed. it makes good line in the destruction of cities cubicle with this program is the middle of next year. by then damascus massive
8:20 pm
destroyed through its entire stockpile. an ambitious twenty nine in very difficult circumstances. we see auntie damascus. today iraqi prime minister all molecules met with pres obama to discuss u s aid to iraq says moat his first visit to the rest into yours comes after wave of recent yet tragically routine violence in this country within seven thousand people in iraq have been killed a share for the database iraq body count. in an op ed in new york times this week note the roads. all qaeda in iraq and its affiliates are conducting a campaign against our people. the prime minister's request and helicopters and fighter jets from the us to help as military fights. it's insurgents. there we go to new york where a federal appeals court on thursday gave the green light to the nypd is controversial stop and frisk policy. now back in august judge shire or shine when will that stop and frisk is it unconstitutional as the dunlop would target minorities. he said that please read at least two hundred thousand stops between two thousand for two dozen twelve without any
8:21 pm
reasonable suspicion. she block further use of the tactic until the nypd make changes. but that ruling the truly great there was tossed out on thursday by the three judge panel in the u s court of appeals for the second circuit. when you stop and frisk is once again good to go only that the appeal score remove judge hanlon from the case study of propriety from the bench the judge made some opinionated comments from stop and frisk to the media next week democratic nominee buildup last show is expected to win the new york city mayoral race has been a critic of stop and frisk and released a statement in response to yesterday's ruling saying. i'm extremely disappointing to this decision. we shouldn't have to wait for reforms that both the barclays said it and obey the constitution. talk more about this case i'm joined by eric is on a sausage turkey from your welcome honest often. it was so bad light of
8:22 pm
the seven wonders of rolling from yesterday what's the next legal step. now that died in jail in which as we have to say can see is considered by the judiciary a community here in new york to be one of drilling the top judges in a very outgoing professional and she has been following the stop and frisk policies for years and that's that trial windshield do not consider the application of some of the sub interest policies unconstitutional lasted ten weeks. certainly she was somebody who is very familiar with the topic now that she had been voted off the skates by this appeals court was going to happen is a new judge will step in to look into exactly on what it was whether or not to the us suggestions that she had made over the m constitutionality of the hottest up and his policies what exactly will happen with that. next we have to keep in mind that what she was actually suggested was that the stop and frisk programs to be odd least based on reasonable suspicion that should be racially neutral that there
8:23 pm
should be a prosecutor appointed to what i've seen some of these policies to make a more adequate and then also some of the police officer should carry an aware of video cameras to be able to see exactly what happens when the stop and chris policies thought i'd take place and also a schedule of appeals has been set up extending all the way into twenty fourteen when we will have a new hearing york city so certainly that could change adapt and it's something we do of course know that the lawyers in this case our way to keep appealing. i'd guess this latest ruling and keep fighting for for the stop and frisk to be that we're seeing stop and frisk protests going on in your city for years now what's the latest message now coming out of this protest after the score rule well you know if it was really unexpected twist the sweetest voice and because of the people who have been fighting stopping for friends for years certainly hope that finally something is going to keep changing been happening the bikes out you know that their messages of racial profiling means that stopping
8:24 pm
risking questioning these people on the streets that you know you mentioned numbers early we have to say that the newark city liberties union said that to ah it's actually almost four million stop since two thousand and two and in almost ninety percent of the key says it's up when talking about community is mostly latino and african americans and people are our outrage had to listen to what they told us to do it today robin first needs to be ended because it is racist you more all. and illegitimate. he treats black and latino people especially young people like criminals guilty until proven innocent if they can survive to prove their innocence. stop and frisk is a crime that amounts to police. stocking intimidating. sometimes jailing and even as much as killing people in the name of security and the people we've
8:25 pm
spoken to maybe if we keep repeating the same message all over again. they say this is the largest special profiling the program in the west and ethically one of them controversial. assessing how much do you think the fact that stop and frisk is considered unconstitutional by its critics. reflect what's going on in the usa more broadly on a larger scale when it comes to police. well you know as the efl lot of people do say it's unconstitutional because it brings unreasonable searches and out of the card excuse me the getaway vehicle protection of my fabby in the aftermath of the ground say that it does reflect a much larger attitudes in courts these days take a listen. just four ruling the no shows not that it's a more complicated issue then maybe the depleted reserves of constitutionality but it shows that this courts are more than fine with violating the rights of blacks and that she knows
8:26 pm
and i certainly that's a very popular opinion out on the streets like in your city center to remove may or election coming up tuesday and build a boss or the democratic nominee is expected to win he's been critical of stop and frisk if he wins it would take images and it does this court opinion matter if you get selected two stances were just not doing this anymore well the way he can do that because i guess certain he can cut stepping into that but i think i've read the activists are trying to make sure that this is also something about by the legal system in case that does not happen so i certainly that's possible. and people are hoping but we have to say may even nokia been very anti stop and frisk throughout the campaign he is also said that it's on the particular use in the over use of the stop and frisk program that some questionable so we'll have to wait and see if he sticks to his words interested marches on a stasi turkmen from your kitchen. no one to chicago where budget cuts to mental health services and rampant crime and drug use to create an
8:27 pm
uneasy situation the nation's largest jail arches was walgreens you the story. cook county jail the chicago sky county jail holds over ten thousand inmates. making it the largest jail in the united states. it's also the nation's largest mental health care provider is exploding at any given day about twenty five to thirty percent of the inmates here cutting job suffered some sort of as i hear another man about security section of the gel most inmates suffer from some kind of mental health. most of the crimes they're accused of our non violent and drug related. almost all of these inmates on psychiatric medication. the president anxiety and insisted that this will end up here they take part in group counseling sessions for an art therapy but the resources are wearing thin. experts say many of these men diagnosed with mental health disorders simply don't belong behind
8:28 pm
bars. there are strands of a court case and then again that the psychiatric illness and separated from friends and family and some of their favorite first time which means it's really difficult adjustment. this door holds three hundred and eighty four cats. the ultra sleek dance became flooded with psychiatric patients. chicago made deep cuts to mental health care services. we've had a dream state hospitals statement possible consider going on and close to the last three years. the six of the twelve mental health clinics here in chicago specifically close down. i'm a couple large private clinics in that post on this well because they can get one thing anymore. it's an absolute disaster. but now the place to turn for support many of the inmates the chapel to cook county jail and up homeless. they will be effectively warehouse they will debate they will sit in a sell on there something magical about our presence all the prawns you bring the present will
8:29 pm
magically go away just because your cartridges that's why so many inmates return back to camp. many detainee is here and a maximum security division are repeat offenders. outside the walls of jail they fail to get the medication they need to turn to drugs and crime. that's the challenge for no known in her roles in the states to come into services for people to go back for the underprivileged getting help for mental health outside of prison faces financial and political town guests. when it comes to budgeting time. the first thing to go we find it so is mental health services because nobody cares about these people they don't have a voice as long as psychiatric services remain scarce. it's almost there in the halls of cook county jail and others across the country will continue to overflow. in chicago was along rte. and that will do it for now more of the store is recovered
