what will. the ad. eye. i bought alerts lead the fight against this state it's the nation's court system and you see a us district court judge hears the case of genesis collection of bone matter that and it's prison program more on that day it's another just ahead. then during the week that the nation's capital activists gathered for a summit on drones summit focused on the global consequences of us drone

program to include victims of drone strikes. that's coming up later. the new research shows that every year thousands of americans going to hospitals wind up victims of a medical mistake that cost them their wives. an in depth look at some of those victims later the show. a fan and. it's monday in november eighteen five p m in washington dc on sensex in your watch it hard to read it here in washington dc at the dc district courthouse were just heard oral arguments today in a case to put an end to some of the nsa spying activities. the two issues that had were the nsa is all telephone mehta data collection which we know targets millions of americans as well as in this is collection of americans internet data under the prison program. both those programs for appeal by edwards noted. u s district court judge richard leon

summon department of justice lawyers to defend those programs against larry claim that a lawyer for the conservative group freedom's watch. he's filed two lawsuits has been a status it in for a broad preliminary injunction to put an end to those programs immediately. this appears to be a case the judge leon is very much interested in hearing. but october is government lawyers push for delays judge leon watch how sane. i don't want to hear anything about vacations weddings days off. forget about it. this is a case of the political national interest can recall all hands twenty four seven no excuses part of justice to this day the allied government agencies that of an interest in this head out for months to think through its position that's a long time. now an interesting note about judge leon in two thousand a new order the release of five algerian that it guantanamo bay said in the government had no evidence proving they

were terrorists. so what are the main issues in this case be on the constitutionality of the spy programs is whether or not the dc district court has the authority to overrule the opinions of the top secret by the court which has already signed off on the surveillance program the aclu is also challenging the fight to court decisions on these programs particularly the phone man a data collection program. on thursday this week the district court judge in new york will hear arguments from the aclu directly targeting the nsa surveillance of millions of verizon phone users again as revealed by edward started the lobbyist a warrior's up and district courts this week this received a free pass from the highest court in the land. today the supreme court denied a case brought by the electronic privacy information center epic but also a challenge that this is collection of verizon phone records. you would have been the first major as a challenge to be heard by the supreme court. court

cases cited as another form of backlash davis is dealing with since its secrets for dragged into the sunlight the nz says that seeing the enormous surge and open records requests coming from americans who want to know exactly what the nsa has on the staff of this the freedom of information act and privacy act office are overwhelmed by an eight hundred and eighty eight percent increase in open records requests since the edwards noted revelations though americans who have contacted the agency for information have all received the same form letter informing them that yes they cannot confirm or deny whether or not there subject of surveillance. and movie on the nsa isn't the only agency fighting against transparency in the courts. pitchers the department of homeland security. last week a federal court here in dc order the department of homeland security to disclose details about the internet kill switch. we're talking about here is what's known as standard operating procedure three o three. which is

the department of homeland security's ability to shut down entire communication networks. this would prevent people in the area from using their phones or internet. dhs says the procedure is necessary in times of crisis the detonation of a remote controlled explosive the procedure was approved in two thousand set. but no one really knows underwear pretax dhs is actually allowed to flank the internet kill switch. in some fear it could be yours. during a protest against quiz for talented stampers is going to cut eleven. bay area rapid transit officials disrupted activists plans by turning off the internet and cell service for three hours in four different transit stations. the following is the electronic privacy information center filed a freedom of information act request for dhs to hand over its plans to activate your neck else which determine whether the procedure violates free speech rights and safety. dhs previously argued that handing over such

information could hinder long course the techniques and prosecutions. that argument was tossed out by last week's federal court ruling the court did leave the government some wiggle room for detail noting the court is that not unaware of the potential adverse use to which this information could be caught this ruling for the more is no judgment on whether it is in the national interest for the soup in korea for it to be disclosed. if in fact the government believes release will cause significant harm. it has other options for sip homeland security has thirty days to hand over information or file an appeal. that's the one organization that doesn't rely on the courts to have information. following last week's sentencg of jeremy have been ten years in prison for his role in acting the servers of the private intelligence firm strap or when you meet on friday released five hundred thousand new shepherd documents which to me to announce the dump on twitter

the hash tag free hand in bringing the total stratford files released over five and a half million. the regional stratford doctor to come back in the city of twenty twelve contains some bombshell allegations including claims us government had a sealed indictment against early in the sun. and that pakistani military and intelligence officials knew a lot of osama bin laden spread out on about pakistan. jeremy heaven who admitted to being part of the internet group. i entered an activist group anonymous which claimed responsibility for the strap perak was arrested back in twenty twelve as part of an international fbi raid the sentence of ten years in prison with the maximum sentence for me that wonders prevail. we honor the weekend a number of organizations came together here in washington dc to host a drone summit focused on the global use of drones and its consequences as well as resistance movements against or of warfare the event brought to the families of

victims of drone attacks as most human rights advocates and artists. art is a mere david was there. here's her report. i don't know into the drone activists from across the country poured into washington dc this weekend for three days called action middle. it started on friday dozens of demonstrators marching from the white house the headquarters of drug manufacturer general of comics but that march would only be the precursor tweet today drowned sunday taking an in depth look at the us is controversial drum warfare program. one nanny state stands in direct violation of international law it's illegal. he cries into the united nations charter which is a treaty the united states has ratified in there for us la. you cannot use military force against anyone unless you have been attacked by that country and this is

not done in self defense in the airport. it's illegal under the obama administration and round campaign has drastically expanded. yet officials have done very little to explain the legality of the practice but to quell a growing dissent from the. this made president obama disclosed the guidelines he said his administration followed when planning and executing strikes before the strike at stake. there must be a near certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured the highest standard we can set. however a recent report put out by human rights watch showed that many fronts rights were not hearing to those policies. in fact when it comes to yen and the report showed that between two thousand and nine in two thousand thirteen eighty two people were killed but at least fifty seven of them being civilians and those victims included innocent women and children we got there so those loved ones away with it once it last night with dancing with

us enjoy if that were deemed as being a cut to pieces by by these business. it's that reality and i'd run advocates say has created a climate of fear and the gun to terrorize local community stinker that was constantly overhead are always living in fear that a drone strike is going to happen they don't know when where and who will be hit and this they say has created a new problem for the united states and that instead of eliminating enemy's ground use its only creating more it makes us more vulnerable to terrorism because of blowback because when people see their loved ones getting killed by drones and the rescue is being killed by other drones mourners to funerals being killed by still other drones it makes them keep united states even more. it's a very sad lesson because it means infected you reinforce in the cycle of violence hatred fair trial. this team. and that's why more and more people are coming together to call on the obama administration to change us

policy and stop the proliferation of rounds in some mounting pressure that is seemingly caught the attention of the senate intelligence committee which has recently approved a plan to step out of and internal government oversight of drone use abroad. my mom acting as tremendous as a step forward they say a little more oversight under the same policy just won't be enough in washington. an irritated rte. joined earlier by arches hear david who filled us in on more about the germs on it there was a three day action of like to mention the pieces started on friday with the protest but this i don't really hosted a number of discussions taking a real deep love that drones and run policy goes on to the domestic and international fry. aside from policy in the media platform to prone to cancer was specifically and any delegation that was there i met many families of drowning victims and i think that was probably the most compelling part of the whole thing. i

spoke to a representative of many drawn between cnn and he spoke to me very candidly about how fearful people are over there. he talked specifically about the binding that people hear about that and how it's instilling in them just as perpetual fear. he talked to me about how as children are scared to leave their houses to go to school how women have dropped out of educational programs because simply being the richest in fear of walking outside on the ends of the takeaway was really that this is paralyzing communities and for a crime that only recently have we really had a chance to hear from mr and victims of one of the criticisms of what the term program is that a scribble back that section it is less a connecticut site but for the last few years we've been tied to his drum programming yet you look at recruiting numbers of al qaeda or even permit peninsula are still recruiting are still um going strong. is there any other evidence that suggests that the drone program is creating more. hazards in word and

with andy hardy heard this happening in pakistan and by this is also happening in yen and two which is part of that i e no next step on the trunk and painting adding interest rates have increased dramatically in yemen particularly since two thousand eleven which is the last couple of years at the same time they are seeing a corresponding numbers increasing the odds of men slping and militancy. in fact that the representative bike i talked to told me about and how their national security has taken a look at this very issue and in two thousand eleven there were approximately three hundred militants ask for it to two thousand thirteen and r three thousand nine hundred percent increase and that is the reason for that is because they saved the government doesn't protect them anymore. don't trust the government officials they don't trust their president and that is making them slip further and further up the actual short what comes next year we weave and registry site in the news that britain's nomination a few months ago we had alan grayson hosting a home until a hearing when out of this term stomach words the stove so next up is a

congressional briefing that's taking place on the hill tomorrow i'm in which representatives are for the al increase in jan's house we are going to have an opportunity to listen to you i did wrong the victims' families people from this anemone delegation on but more generally these activists are taking a look at the bigger picture and they are really focusing on influencing opinion as you now and approval of german cease to be eighty percent it's come down to sixty percent and are very encouraged by this i think i'm there are at main goal is really that action the way and that a percentage in making sure that more people are aware of the effects of drones and it's dangerous to present the story is secure on the news which is good but to correspond and their details. a study by the eternal patience as he reveals the staggering number of americans to go to the hospital every year and wind up the victim of some sort of preventable death nader los angeles and arches ramon going to. at a. my

sister was just writhing in pain for so long that it haunts me you know the last moments with both my mom and my sister just ingrained in my head. eric and this is overcome with emotion as you reach the death of his physicality and escape was mentally disabled sister the night and even though she had the mentality o could g and dance to both on and she knew more about musicals i think the most normal people as actress explains. he took ellie to the emergency room for stomach ache. days later tuesday. this is the super record. from just three days that she was the hospital and this is how much stuff coming through. to find out what happened. my sister debbie medical errors can happen even the most highly rated hospitals. new research shows that up to four hundred forty thousand people die every year in america from preventable medical mistakes that make it the third leading cause of death in the us following heart disease and cancer

the incidence of people dying of errors and accidents in hospitals is abysmal in this country that it's really a crisis level of proem. in eighteen eighty nine the institute of medicine reported that up to ninety eight thousand people a year die because of mistakes in hospitals which lead the team the city in the journal patient safety says that number has grown to be between two to ten thousand and four to forty thousand patients. that's more than the population in miami florida. and all medical their scale. they can still cause a lifetime of the women in the operating room. i had a fever was no chance. i was having channels. and i was told that that was probably due to the anesthesia actress and model lisa cool way to the hospital for minor surgery. she expected to be on a few days. instead she contracted nick of time in

the shi'ite is also known as many complexities. you can see this is all even out here and cut away and right here in spreading down my back years later. cole is doing physical therapy. it's been a possible injury is not isolated shows clichy was diagnosed with spinal bifida as a child. in two thousand eight. she went to the hospital for elective surgery to relieve some of her symptoms begin or husband andy cole is to enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle however after trip to the hospital. still it became a quadriplegic and requires round the clock care. home videos shown on helping his wife to do the simplest tasks we have never been allowed in any event any of her doctors the patient safety before. the acting department talk to anybody except the lawyers because some states have caps on malpractice claims. many lawyers refused to take on cases of medical error despite long frustration with the healthcare system

look for is what the strengthened during this time of struggle i rely on her she relies on me i think turned out. i think most guys were on then they would have to admit that. she's my rock many healthcare professionals want to reduce accidents. but transparency remains a major barrier. it's long past time. with the national conversation about these deaths in hospitals require many affordable care act encourages may care providers to report medical errors but it stopped short of requiring all healthcare providers from participating the hospital's own wings. two i attempt to create safety net around the mistakes they expect people to make. they double count the sponge is the use of bar coding technology under sponges for example to make sure that they're not accepting leaving something indication after an operation are cutting her medication

and station down to low technology lyell simple inexpensive things like good hygiene can prevent infection and alicia calls case the state health department found her hospital had broken several peace and safety laws asher doctor. what is his infection rate for the procedure healing document everything. take a little notebook with you write everything down every road they give you. make sure you got yourself one with you with the little camera take pictures of things it's not right and in the country as wealthy as the united states with the resources that we have. there's no reason. for patients have to go through the teams agree that individual patients must remain vigilant at. as we fight for transparency and accountability. the doctor tragedy will help others avoid the trend of giving the states. in los angeles from an angle on rte. arches or are going to join the euro there from our los angeles

studio to tell us about the most common forms of medical errors that are saying. will we think of medical mistakes are examples of surgeons leading objects and sanitation like a sponge or some scissors a common mistake is to be in a patient the wrong dose of medicine and in some instances doctors missed tumors these are all examples of things that happen every single day and hospitals in the us according to a more a more recent report from john hopkins university in the most common error is mistaken noses they take a look at malpractice suits over the last twenty five years and he saw that mistake noses up in our ranks. this surgical mistakes and overdoses of patients and knees ms diagnosis can meet and lead to unnecessary procedures. an example that john hopkins kids is it is a teenager who went in for a complaint about heading to the hospital was at home days later at a stroke. another

gentleman who went and complained of chest pain the doctor after doctor missed the fact that there's palms with a spine and that the catwalk so. all these things happening are really alarming patient safety advocates and that's where they're trying to get the word out about about this trend of medical errors. this is the study came down they put a number on this for as many as four hundred thousand deaths a year that's pre staggering up but couldn't actually be higher you mentioned in this report that transparency or me and remains a major barrier in hospitals warriors are reluctant to take up any any sort of cases like this to me there's some cases that are being reported on here which the number could be even higher. rated a mention those factors in really. back in nineteen eighty in a nineteen eighty nine excuse me the institute of medicine report that there are up nearly one hundred thousand deaths in the recommended that there be some sort of central agency that keeps track of that now into twenty thirteen and there's still no agency which keeps track of

that. so really wear depending on these washed up groups that go to these medical records but even then there's alot of problem in keeping track of how many hairs are hurting because many of these medical records are an actor and again we get to that the fact that many doctors that many healthcare prophetic professionals just don't want to admit the mistakes that they've made. then this is really a story that you really care bout working on not finding out about mistakes made in their hospitals. sure why it starts with other doctors and nurses and pushy there is this so called true of science in many hospitals are really some doctors don't want to work a tattle tale so to speak on another doctor because the attendees doctors that are deep and each other for business they need referrals from that other doctors so they don't want to be known as the red in the hospital as far as nurses goes they made do with the same thing some of whom have reported only in incidence of mobile more afraid of being retaliated or

our discipline begins and some tapas and sometim unfortunately doctors just to make decisions based on avoiding lawsuits. instead of really focusing on the prime interest of the patient there are two core spun around and window painted staying on the issue of health care you might remember last week president obama responded to mounting criticism of his signature health reform law an ounce of this change to allow americans to keep health insurance plans that no longer meet new standards under the law. i said that i would do everything we can to fix this problem and today i'm offering an idea that will help you. insurers can extend her plans that would otherwise be canceled in two twenty fourteen and americans whose plans had been canceled can choose to re enroll in the same kind of plan. some might criticize the president's fix their noting that by allowing americans to stand on a qualified health insurance plans than fewer americans will buy their health

insurance in the new changes which could cause prices in those exchanges go up and he kept the entirety of the health reform law. one of those critics was better than washington d c insurance commissioner william p whites who released this statement last thursday criticizing the president's facts. quote the action today undercuts the purpose of the changes including the district's dc help link by creating exceptions that make it more difficult for them to operate on the very next day white was spicier. official with the d c mayor vincent gray his office said the city quote wants to go in a different direction. mr white stated that it was scrubbed off the department's website so much for the whole if you like your health insurance commissioner. you can keep em right down to madison wisconsin and an innovative new approach to sheltering the homeless. the realization occupied madison a spinoff of the occupied wall street movement has just finished building its first iphone which they hope will be part of the larger eco village

their initiative is known as o and build a home less than one hundred square feet is made largely from recycled materials as composting toilets and is wired for electricity to run small appliances the group plans to build many more tidy homes eventually create a community of tiny homes occupied notches by homeless but by those who prefer sustainable communities living as well earlier i spoke with dr time as an organizer buka clemente about where this idea came from well much like in other places around the country with the gang cabinets. we learned that the role of the people in the madison area who are homeless and had nowhere to go and they of course locked in cabinets that it became sort of like day. they are homeless community in addition to the political activity was going on the homeless issue became very important to us in so over time we realize that we had a crisis right here that was being dealt with an. we decided to do

something about it soon got one of these tiny homes built now what happens next is going to win their will where will it be placed first we have the two people already going to a couple that had been homeless for a number of years and are very excited that they helped build it. that's one of the things that you'd like about the project is that the people who live in houses gullible themselves it's really difficult to get a good holding a phone in my hands is difficult to get a few of the entire house but one of the things that's real important thing we want to make the house is beautiful so that's the bride and that the community would be more welcoming. midterms were going to put them right now we have some issues that we're working on regarding zoning it's the typical there's no legal way right now that they're allowed to be. or really anywhere and so were working. now the ultimate goal here though is that kind of cooperatives sustainable living community of a bunch of these tiny

houses. what in the forties to be done to get to that goal eventually. the first step is that we're working with churches and non profits and we did get to city council to pass the resolution that will allow the tiny houses to go the church parking lots and indeed an end to nonprofits that are allowed also was the tiny houses. ultimately we went to get land and the mayor to show some support for this and so we are hoping it will be able to get land to create a community because of me really wanted to have a community of tiny houses window. gardening workshops for other projects as well when we occupy attendant started up there was a whole alternative living component to them you know there are places where people could be fed educated how a state of health care for free so early was a demonstration but also put occupies message into practice. it is part of motivation year to build this community to serve as an example one alternative to

other people. then we really do hope that this idea catches on because there are a lot of people right now they're just marginalized and give a good medicine for example right now there's that in less than two percent vacancy rate then you'll have twenty to thirty people who are all the jockeying to get yet to get the same apartment when it becomes available in rents are very high and the person who's living on a minimum wage job can't even afford an apartment when one becomes available. so we're trying to create an alternative where people can participate the building of their own house and become part of a community where they can gauge and projects and meaningful. things that mean in july. out of step with some interest and i were to hazard are up there in madison. as occupied madison organizer who commented thank you so much for joining. take it and finally this time another video chat programs or seo to thousands. the next chapter futuristic education is something called dynamic shape this planet. take a look at this video for you
