8:01 pm
puts a damper on the thanksgiving turkey undercover investigators reported footage of the crowded set preconditions add turkey breeding farm more on that later in the shelf. it's wednesday november twenty seven signed in washington dc. i mean you're a david you're watching our tea. we begin to date with new revelations regarding the national security agency according to secret documents obtained by the huffington post through adverts not in this they participated in tracking the on line sexual activity if people the agency considered to be pope radicalized or is not part of the proposed plan to target six different muslims thought to have been influencing the opinions of others in carrying out theurveillance the agency was hoping to harm your reputation and undermine their credibility as muslim
8:02 pm
leaders in the community the documents reveal that the nsa was monitoring those who were viewing sexually explicit material on line and using sexually explicit persuades the persuasive language when communicating with inexperienced young girls. here's what the adult film performer on his knee had to say about the tactic trying to discredit someone for watching korean. it makes me wonder why that person is doing or what our government is doing. the document does not excuse any of the six individuals of being involved in terror plots of the agency said it believes all lived outside of the year the united states but to discuss this latest revelation and its implications i was going to be here by matthew kelly will legal file at the bill of rights defense committee. i first asked him how these muslims were vetted for this kind of surveillance the question i mean the way that the nsa described it to get out of controversial political beliefs which may
8:03 pm
know i'm in the current political climate means terrorism which is a broad term that i'd be fit a profile. it is looking at now this is looking in our ca or the year ended the agencies to cooperate with. and about to change the time so these people got selected because of their affiliation with the current focus. those agencies store. all in response to this week's report the director of affairs for national intelligence had this to say he said. it should not be surprising that the us government uses all of the lawful told that our disposal to impede the efforts of balad targets who seek determination and that applies others to violence. do you green. well i mean. turner's lawful. ray blake up on the basic premise share button on the definition of what is actually a waffle
8:04 pm
particularly in terms of this program. i think a lot of this is what i've been called into question the secrecy of the essays or doesn't do anything to support the claim that the status is unlawful um so. in spirit. of course but in practice i got serious doubts as to the legitimate law permits the stock reached way. one question will target who was identified in the documents as the us percent but the majority of the people targeted here were foreigners living outside in the united states. some people living here with a well in their non americans if not spying on me personally then i don't care you know what's your response to that should shed and all americans care about this. it all americans obsolete should because the focus of the nsa and specifically the focus of intelligence gathering and generally which is not just the state's dispersed across many different agencies. for now to be focused elsewhere that you know there was a big place and the united states and countries individuals
8:05 pm
generally play an increasingly common roll each other's laps. so the ability for the united states to pretend like it's island divorced from the rest of the world and these types of surveillance practices are going to read on american citizens is just a short sighted. i think that the media focus on will not need somebody else i mean we've heard that before another historical context as it played out well for anyone of course is the danger that it could one day become americans. time will be another person in the scene in agency do this of course news i count this as surveillance compares to the surveillance and blackmail tactics used against anwar and thirteen by the fbi for example yes the minaret programs. there's this floating around right now about this specifically because of the religious leader nature of the focus of the answer that. indeed these operations in india. and i know that i live here in oakland california and in oakland as a long history with cocoa. you know of these
8:06 pm
operations are nothing new in terms of incremental step in human terms of anti war activists. so what is really different years this go the scope of the nsa is much much much much much more much broader than has been previously seemed rather it is right and in case and these men who are all month long watching of course could seriously discredit them in the eyes of their peers and in the community on the activity could be an unseemly gathering through electronic surveillance for for use against non muslims anything they want. you know i mean what strategic here is what the nsa we can infer that the pianist is making a cultural determination but these are unpopular practice this but we have a constitutional standpoint is also protected speech the cheekily reference the us that isn't the sort of beacon or there would be to look for is anything wrong the only cultural assessment or political assessment as to a group of individuals and to
8:07 pm
look for anything that contradicts that. and when your time and are personally know when your tired your online surfing habits. that all the sudden becomes a pretty dark out so they could look for anything on anybody and that to the choke point it's really isn't going to run against a run counter to your stated political beliefs or religious beliefs which is a fairly tight and frightening indeed while we appreciate you coming and breaking all that down for us matthew caliber of the old fellow at the bill of rights defense committee thank you a key so much. now more than three years after the anti secrecy group which meets brought the us government with massive disclosures of diplomatic cables and other secrets. officials say the group's founder jillian s on his on unlikely to ever face charges. according to the washington post justice department officials reiterated that if the decision has not been made but they said that there is little possibility of bringing a case against the suns unless he is charged in criminal activity and the ongoing releasing on line top secret military documents but former justice
8:08 pm
department spokesman matthew miller told the washington post that there's another issue. he said the problem the department has only had in investigating jillian s on his. there is no way to prosecute him for publishing information without the same theory being applied to journalists. and if your not going to prosecute journalists for publishing classified information which the department is not. and there is no way to prosecute asides. but don't expect to lead the suns to walk out of the ecuadorian embassy in london anytime soon. he makes is skeptical about this latest report. in a statement the organization said anonymous us officials with obscure motivations and on known authority do not have a good track record in this matter or in any other means to be seen whether the claims by these on down anonymous officials are more than just an attempt to reduce support for rickie weeks. and now onto another culprit caught up in the silk road site that the delaware dr has been
8:09 pm
arrested and charged for illegally selling controlled substances on line. to anonymous buyers in an underground website known as silk road. socorro is a website that uses electronic eye the currency declined to make it harder for longer force meant to attract buyers and sellers. dr is a levy of bullets who was the chief obgyn resident and a comic delaware hospital authorities are now accusing her of operating on the site under the identity and key pro anything approximately six hundred sales and over seventy different countries she's accused of illegally just distributing xanax that iraq and oxy ca and among other controlled substances unfortunately for the doctor an undercover dea agents in florida i was one of her best customers but that wasn't the only hands. turns out when bullock dropped off a package is an automatic coastal machine the machine had been taking and storing pictures of her. and when the postal inspector gave the agent the photo of
8:10 pm
the package sender was able to easily compare it with the picture on her facebook and myspace accounts. and the united states has announced that it will be relocating its vatican and deceit. they say oh one now be a part of the building on the compound of the larger american embassy to italy the state department notes that security and cost savings were behind the oath which the department has meaning it will now receive one point four million dollars a year. the vatican is a landlocked sovereign city state within the city of rome and its us somalia's internationally recognized independent territory in the world. the shift has drawn criticism from former u s representatives to the holy see. along with others who insist that country should mean pain and deceased to the vatican and rollin in separate locations. now this consolidation comes just after the whole the season representative at the un meeting on the debate about the use of droughts
8:11 pm
representative painted and targeted killings and raise both legal and moral concerns in recent days the pope also sacked. how can see that it's not a news item one another the homeless person dies of exposure but it is good news when the stock market loses two points. this is a case of exclusion. can we continue to stand by when food is thrown away while people are starving. this is a case of inequality. and here you can see a picture of the pope with an anti fraction shirt tracking of course is a controversial policy. he's in the us. so could the new outspoken as of the data can be behind this closure discusses developmental a bit more time explained earlier by eighteen eighteen a senior apologists that catholic dot com i first asked him what kind of security concerns the government could possibly happen. about this embassy will. some people attribute connected to the bin cause the attack back on nine eleven. and um as you mentioned that occurred in a middle eastern country and
8:12 pm
you the user was out of the kind of mom has developed a mean we've seen across the across the middle east and the new mob apparently organized break in and kill people. but it's hard to imagine that happeningn rome. it did and so that wouldn't be what they're thinking what they might be thinking is some kind of plot that would be trying to forgive us our interests in rome. perhaps i mean it wouldn't all the big mom or anything like that it might involve obama or sumthing come for a sniper or something like that but she just couldn't get that big of a second row not not not of people trying to break in and burn everything and kill people so that's unreasonable are there been a lot of people questioned whether that's really their motive at all or a mom and so i would i would tend to be the lead in the least of the question in my mind about to what extent is that their actual
8:13 pm
motive same thing with cost savings of million dollars the year to a government that spends trillions is peanuts i mean it's less than peanuts. tom. and if the eu just know if you downgrade you're in the city with somebody. they're going to take that as a slap. and so um a lot of people have suggested that the human spirit. the administration is actually trying to to distance itself from the vatican on the island and one actually jumping like a little bit about that is a century now the pope has been very vocal about everything from bronze to cracking. i then this is all banned in on the last few months or so is the possible that this consolidation is the result of that tension out of those criticisms that were hearing i think that easily possible a man in on the other hand you can't underestimate government cluelessness. so there could be that factory workers as well. he could be an attempt to distance itself from the vatican to signal displeasure with the vatican that's certainly how
8:14 pm
the vatican's going to take it whether they object publicly or not right on and so it it's either deliberate or it's just clueless. i feel i wanna talk about something that a us representative said a former us ambassador james nichols and called the move could amass a downgrade in u s vatican tide is turning the vatican embassy in to quote a step child of the embassy to italy what's your response that. will i think he's right. and it's not just him has been saying that it's five of the recent us ambassadors to the vatican from both republican and democratic administrations have been saying it's right it is also getting some resistance of course from conservative catholics who preferred to maintain diplomatic distance from us policy to meet our little man about the u s policies that catholics can take moses us well um did you know the us and the police the cii on some issues like helping poor
8:15 pm
people. for example can that's very good on the other hand the current administration does take positions that are in opposition to those of the catholic church for example on the religious liberty question the current administration has been trying to force insurance policies on catholics that would violate their conscience and just yesterday the supreme court announced it is to be hearing two cases of better challenging the governments of health care mandate requiring a catholic to object to abortion to provide abortion drugs as part of their insurance policies. um so that would be an example. you mentioned. the subject of using drones to kill people remotely that's obviously something of that the holy see has concerns about a m there are a range of other things but in general this administration has been particularly sensitive to the concerns of catholics
8:16 pm
yes i really only about thirty seconds left and made it on time as the vatican hasn't publicly commentator on these reports beginner kind of person called francis says. do you think it's likely that will see him object to this at all. i don't think so. i mean you call it but you'd be surprised if he did in typically with diplomatic stuff like this um even if you're really on happy with someone's moving you take it as a sly. you tend not to say so publicly there's more in gestures than in dennis often convey in words and diplomatic circles. i saw it while packing so much in part to me rant i'm a genie in a senior college is a catholic dot com a deal. thank you mayor. today president obama from the national thanksgiving turkey and for a pardon to turkey is one name popcorn and other names carmel. the pardon is meant to ensure that the two cobblers escape the carving night. this holiday season. a wild turkey steam to escape
8:17 pm
the chopping block it seems human beings cannot because president obama as a historically low number of heart and psyche scary and boring reports. and here is president obama turning to turkey and popcorn in carmel earlier this afternoon the pardoning of many presidential power from the outset. according to an even the relatively new tradition. obama has now starting to enter teams but only thirty nine people a record low. cousin harry truman hurting or con repeated one thousand five hundred thirty seven people by his six year non fans but there's no records of imparting any turkeys. okie did come out with that. but ronald reagan who officially pardoned the first turkey under his presidency is part and think on each piece and started dropping significantly. bring in all a part in three hundred thirteen people by sixty or not that's but brock obama thirty nine koreans and one commutation and the record low even for a modern day presidents bill clinton pardoned seventy seven and george w bush pardoned ninety
8:18 pm
nine by gary six during our pets. there are few reasons for this one is as a political liability. now at the present weren't hurting someone he'll commit a crime that after there were leaves the white house would have to take that responsibility. and this is what happened to former arkansas governor mike huckabee win after key release convicted rapist wayne did minded man proceeded to murder and three other women. now another reason and the get go what the department of justice has the authority to grant you could see petitions. some say it's a conflict of interest to how the doj review petitions of the same people be prosecuted. according to department of justice brennan obama has received more than ten thousand clemency petitions. a large majority of them are people asking for proving to be from friends and for the obama administration is looking for other ways to laugh in the us and her three favorite incarceration rates which in the heights in the world. a good portion of these prisoners are behind bars for non violent drug related
8:19 pm
charge it's just an audience of this year. attorney general eric holder said the department just this will no longer pursue mandatory minimum sentences for well apple non violent drug offenders. and back in two thousand ten president obama sign that they are sentencing act that reduce the disparity in penalties between crack and cocaine which is another racially biased since being in seattle. crack is just across the form of cocaine but african americans are far more likely to be convicted for cracking the peanut which has severe what penalty miss. while president obama has said quote we can't continue to increase the rate ourselves out of the drunk race is the ministry said has not granted commons seats and needs better still behind bars and the old crack cocaine. that's where he has led the national turkey has walked free. year after year the party and doesn't necessarily mean a long and prosperous life though cobbler and cobbler. the two turkeys in part last year but died within just a few months
8:20 pm
in washington dc appear in boring party. we sit down to eat your turkey at thanksgiving and you think about the condition that turkey was in before it was slaughtered. not when you're looking at is video from an undercover investigator who got a chance to see just that this footage comes from a turkey breeding fact refund minnesota which happens to be the top turkey producing state in the us the conditions at this particular farm are almost unbearable to watch her twenty five thousand female turkeys that are locked in close quarters where they suffer from a variety of humans better i'll write neglected. in one instance the video shows how painstaking keen golden their nasty machines on to getting stopped by their queens head or feed their injuries are sometimes so severe that the dying immediately. so the top a little bit more about these conditions and what people can do to win for the backpack is this stop i was weaned earlier by eric meyer executive director of
8:21 pm
compassion over killing which is the organization that brought us a slave. i first asked her about the turkey ailments and illnesses present and video. so our singer and he described his hands are packed inside of the largest landfill never set foot outside it will spend an alliance inside the shed and either specifically the females and they are. that will then be sold to have trees with baby on the ticket are turkeys will be hacked. the reason cited for many including for thanksgiving dinner said being part of an unlikely thing and send in an artificially it over and over again and the squalid conditions at the living and are causing some injuries to their feet. i'm making it very difficult to walk you can see in the video they had irritations all over their heads making it difficult for them to see him in some cases the injuries are caused by the machine in the present itself inside the facility with broken wings it appears other injury from their bodies. it's so heartbreaking to see. i'm from i understand
8:22 pm
turkey's raised on factory farms. i bragged to grow so i'll be so quickly. and that they can no longer me naturally to me talk a little bit more about the process these farmers are using to disseminate the turkeys and catchers and as for the yellow as you can see the second to look like a wild turkey thing that people see sometimes in any images or even allow that felt so what were looking at our domesticated birds who had been genetically selected and run to grow so large that they can't because they can't mean actually his dad and baby are in this process and there grabbed by the legs are hung upside down and so shackled cylon or rank as a teen with the men in and that is then inserted an artificial incriminating these birds and it happened over and over about once a week inside the facility fee for its good to pass that the lively during a fast action and how what's up process how quickly they go away and that maybe about every twenty four to thirty six hours while that quickly now. what if the seemingly
8:23 pm
never even been able to see any of this video has a knack for afghan block been in place and i know there was one on the table in two thousand eleven and thankfully it did not get passed on by key talk about what that what it meant for on the new photographers in for journalists to find documentation and in bringing to light. sure love these and that lovely talk about the new building introducing different states across the country and they are clearly intends to stop the undercover investigation from happening and to stop the american from seeing where their food is actually coming from and what's going on behind closed doors in one hundred and ten. it is intended specifically for these videos will be seen and in two thousand thirteen eleven states introduced the so called afghan laws and thankfully it all at this stage they were defeated and they'll most likely be introduced again in twenty fourteen and i think that day that the extent to which the animal agribusiness industry is going to get this task related to shut out the american and see what's happening president in d has something to hide. absolutely
8:24 pm
a look the rules and regulations are in place right now on the factory firms like free sample this inspiring forget the name of that i'm but a good day to legally do anything wrong khamenei to leave the house the fantastic question that the one thing i think it's a definite understanding and we believe consumers as they presume that there is some current level of protection for abc animal and in it's natural to think that there are entire cookie cutters in every state that the rocket attack stocking cap unfortunately there are a steal of a lot to offer an inadequate and exam what are called the standard operating practice is on farms or something to the degree of common practice if that happens on an on farm sixteen acceptable within the industry and so it doesn't fall within that seemed cruel to cut a piece from different ages and different stay locked and there are currently no federal laws whatsoever to protect birds from this cruelty. what kind of id advocacy work are you guys doing team to change that well the person destined for
8:25 pm
the network are doing is exposing them to want consumers to know they have a right to know if it's coming from and we believe once consumers find out into eating meat industry is not happy about any of that they don't want the thing that gets to be sharing to the and so when we can see with our horrified to learn a lot of if they wanted him more and they want to change what they're supporting their dietary choices and so we're encouraging consumers to look at this a secret from things so hard to walk sunday he added that something that you truly want support with your wallet and there said many in the three alternatives available today. he'll have to support the school thing is certainly something for everyone to think about when you sit down for thanksgiving dinner this year. executive director of compassion over killing. so much for joining the team pm. the president faces opposition but as they say as i and my brain. well the supreme court isn't so sure the highest court will consider whether to secret service agents while applying for allegedly forcing protesters out of earshot of president george w bush

the world's leading video platforms and community for dinner the service connects the gamers around the world by allowing them to broadcast watched and kept from anywhere they play. now the season for owners are able to access clicks through an ups for camera and in rome called played around at the core gamers. naturally in the game is meant to be fine allowing gamers to see what their friends airplane why if a one year of the room is brian cassidy entire world thinking it a little messy in a two week since ps for is the least which has had a crackdown on people streaming in appropriate actions on mine. in one instance a man and wife drink themselves and pulled a word from the on screen and an afternoon shortly thereafter are also some unconfirmed reports of shows taking place. but perhaps that's what you should of been expected when the cameras opened up the personal living room. can for programming of next month our team will host a debate on gun violence in the us

need to be a downer i really think the olympics have lost all meaning in the past when it was the cold war it was like a battle between two ideologies taking place the abstract at the nineteen thirty six olympics pseudoscience their self proclaimed security was put on trial for the whole world to see what the olympics having the majority of the country's honor of participating here now horribly horribly bland. one could argue that they become a great way for cuts to show lawful excuse to pull up some infrastructure. i think this is a big misconception. but back to two thousand a olympics in beijing. yet china is willing to help the last twenty years but the deal is that really teach us anything about this country with a radically different political system or give up your age and culture of the way the thinker the way they live. nope nothing at all. all we saw with the flags and some pandas that rather unique stadium which was mostly the work of a swiss company yes i said i think although i have to admit that saying the torch in the space was kind of neat. i think that when than if the world ever becomes an ideological
8:30 pm
battleground again then the olympics will become worth watching. but for now it's just generic sports which their countries achieve their stadiums. that's just my opinion i rmb. well what about the tasty it will be a slight rise on on with the teens from tokyo. us defence officials have signaled they will not recognize chinese control over an area of the east china sea. chinese leaders announced over the weekend that they'd set up an air defense identification zone us commanders promised the talons the zone they pulled through by flying to the fifty two bombers to the are
