did. when new moon with. on our t ball was rolling the blob against us. the nsa stacking the phone data is likely to be unconstitutional latest on this new development just that. can transfer up to one tonne of a defeat for salary of raytheon has given new hope the detention camps closure of the obama administration pushing forward on the transfer of war detainees is this really the end and get out more on that coming up. in mexico politicians and

trying to contact and send your detail in the spirit will allow foreign companies to plunder the nation's twelveth or since. the u s that dominates mexico's oil and an update on this growing opposition leader in the shop my the sixteenth i am in washington d c i m lopez and you love watching our team selected st mesa top story starting off with our landmark ruling could pave the way for more regulations of the national security agency us this far judge richard leon role that the nsa spying program violates the fourth amendment prohibition o unreasonable searches and seizures decisions as well. the court concludes that plaintiffs have standing to challenge the constitutionality of the government's book collection and querying the phone to record an idea that they have demonstrated the substantial likelihood of success on the merits of

their fourth amendment claim it and that they will suffer irreparable harm. absent a luminary in chapter one lead truly defines the meditative collected from the phone calls that take place from the war with in the last judge leon also said the department of justice failed to demonstrate how collecting the senate a nap actually towards europe wants turning now to talk about this is rachel levinson waldman consul to the brennan centers of liberty and national security program rachel thank you so much for joining me. so what i'm talking about dismantling one or two monumental is it. this is a really important ruling this in a ruling that says that the justification that the government has been using that collecting. it's a huge quantity of information about americans' phone calls. he's no different from collecting small amounts of information on a very striking in person and doesn't eyes and or senate that with the ins and crazily trying to say that that is the best medicaid is protected under previous laws

i think from a back of the seventy s or late sixties this judge ruled that that's not the case right. well i am of the crime and justice has relied on is that the nineteen seventy nine supreme court opinion called smith vs maryland and the case there was a single person has the limited information that has caused the gathering because there is a specific crime that had occurred in which he was a suspect and basically that has been kind and now it's a very broadly to the collection of all americans have phone calls information about them the judge said. get one just doesn't transfer to the other way on a totally different scenario now totally different scenario with totally different technology and also lack capabilities on the government's part the statement about the ruling today was now by former and her class. our contractor and with snow and he said i acted on the belief that the nsa is mass surveillance programs would not withstand a constitutional challenge desea chance to see these issues determined by open ports made a secret program authorized by secret by is a carport

why is it when exposed t the light of day found to violate americans' rights is the first of many. so this decision was deemed likely unconstitutional. what does that realistically mean and was relieved to know right so if i had been considered a threat and a half i need that procedural posture right now so what happened was that there are several plaintiffs in the case and the sweeties at our own constitutional rights have been violated by the collection of all of this information. so they just look at that. welcome to our glee at this very fine collection of the dance a dance for these particular people. i think it violates the constitutional rights but he also said i'm not really making a decision on the constitutionally at when determining is what my most likely decision would be down now want to hack away a little bit for this to make its way after an appeals court. now meanwhile this comes out kinda like a lot of different things are happening in the realm of nsa and surveillance and spine now one of the things that happened in the wake of

the nsa surveillance camera was that the presidential task force was set out to make recommendations about what can be done in the future to make this organization flow and more transparent way. so first i was about some of those recommendations. go ahead short so while noting that the report itself hasn't come yet so he knows her from that press coverage about what we've learned is that it contains at least forty recommendations. the white house has received it by revealing what a sad about is that they'll release the report sometime in jan and once they had a chance to cut and make a decision but the house in information knots in the mean recommendations in there and those include fourteen broadly speaking this ball collection of fun met at the back button holding that information with the phone company a girl with a third party rather government. i would be seen if the endurance that the nsa has to need to search that information. among other things making the process before this secret court the secret foreign intelligence surveillance court. ah more adversarial

meeting there be an attic in the air for the public's interest for citizens and tourists. well there's a lot of things a tad like a dish is the industry's first of all i find very interesting that that we only know about these recommendations through leaks which is pretty interesting in itself the other thing is that the men who work here is a recommendation. how likely is it that the nsa will actually take any of these recommendations and implement them into practice administrations under huge amounts of political pressure so this precious been building over the last six months as the revelations have been coming up we've been learning about more and more nsa spying program has been in learning more and more about the extent to which the nsa over kerry in the years hasn't complied with the leprosy its own procedures that said it had put into place on the other is pretty significant legislation working its way through congress including a pretty strong bipartisan bill i think there's no question that something is going to have to change the white house had as a signal a lot to get about which

recommendations is actually when you take up that has set a bit. i'm thinking we note that some changes will help me me an essay history has been advocating this latest team to be on the margins now the recommendations that we now allow won't be taking up it is sound the town. on consolidation of two was a different agency is so i hadn't read the quote from white house spokesman ken when he then she told the washington post following a thorough interagency review canonization has decided that keeping the positions of the nsa director and cyber command commander together as one dual padded position is the most effective approach to accomplishing both agencies commissions. so essentially mean business as usual. as far as we know yet said that's the way it's structured right now general keith alexander is the head bowed for the nsa and the cyber command. two if it had together and knead it again at the same person will be running both leicester and have the scope of power that position has now. and also

will mean that the hunted and say what the military position because the head of cyber command has to be in the attack. finally i can listen to without talking about how a top nsa official who is in charge of assessing the damage that adverts on inclines has actually said that he would consider granting senate amnesty in the hands of possibly agreed to hand over the rest of the documents and mind you it's all part of documents and did glenn greenwald in the guardian said they only released one percent. there's one point seven million documents that are believed to be in at once known as hands. the likely is that you think that there's some sort of amnesty would actually happen. this is really fast the general alexander has said that he's not in favor of best of the electorate is quite high after alexander is retiring next year so his words certainly carry a fair amount of weight. that being said and what son is also said that share the documents with journalists that a lot of them aren't in his teens anymore. it was a little hard to know what it would need to hand them back to the nsa in me simply need an essay still

want to know what he took and doesn't get nearly that bad that'll only be significant for the agency and keith alexander himself it is still very against it on so will have to see how all of this kind of cancer out. but again i love this way until tomorrow will be new nsa rattling. talk about rachel evans and mosman councils that brennan centers of liberty and national security program. thank you for coming on the shelf thinking of well the cbs news magazine program sixty minutes is under fire for the second time in many months for the reporting scandal this time the program is being criticized for a recent two part series that looks until the isi director keith alexander called sixty minutes to invite them into the agency for an unprecedented inside look at what the nsa does and what its officials think about the leaks from former contractor a what's not and now media critics argue that not a single dissenting voice was featured throughout the reporting two parts by twenty and no tough questions for ultimately it's our chief

political commentator sensex analyzes the report is full for blowback. send in a sixty minutes report which noted unprecedented access to the nsa didn't start off so well. full disclosure i once worked in the office of the director of national intelligence seriously seriously they couldn't have chosen a different reporters from one booth they didn't previously worked for the intelligence that santa has always had a very close access to his bed he's kept his close relationships to one dollars national security people these two were weapons it basically meant it that a national security insider preventing this. after presenting this so called thinks that. but the compromise reporter really is the perfect setup for what followed next the pr job for them it's that bad since it wasn't your job the nsa was spared tough questions and given a platform to the store the claims made against the agency by the edwards noted documents an essay. can only target

the communications of the u s person with the probable cause finding under specific court order. today we have less than sixty authorizations specific persons to do that he actually was asked whether they collect content and responded. bayou by addressing whether they are good americans which are different things because some of the biggest programs to collect content targeted on a foreigner say that somali guy and any americans his communications. who were communicated with that that smelly acts will also be collected this is legally allowed to take three hops from any part in peer into the communications of individuals who talk to individuals who talked individuals who talked of targets that could include millions of people including americans and then there are other ways we know for example that the nsa blacks the email directly from

telecoms which the united states every minute at it every year that they may collect as much as fifty six thousand americans e mails alexander didn't address the knesset holiday in the am getting a lot more emails making phone calls the eclectic for you as person and and and listening to love for us pursue content than letting on. there was this claim and about how the nsa collects data from internet companies like google and yahoo. one of the snowdon leaks involved the concept that an essay entitled into the far end data centers of major u s internet providers and could only describe it the right way. now that's not correct we do target communications in tears use communications firm who woke me up to and from other service providers so our objective is to court those communications no matter where they are. but we're not going into a facility are targeting local

listed entity or yucca was that he is the washington post reported back in oct timothy is hacking into data links between google and yahoo servers and scooping up data. which raises a bunch of questions in itself. i can legally get tears in a cage on top. it's not clear they can be collegues for example a financial intelligence from googling up in one of the reasons they would have to go overseas at the two to break into the lineup this communication cables on is is that they're doing stuff be on with the principal. but so often so boxes were to win favors handed out by sixty minutes sunday night. they also help them to stay with its no ideals problem by featuring young hip more neo analysts. then season and has devoted a good chunk of their report to bashing and were snowed in they discover the first secrets noticed all

was how to cheat on a path to get a job that the agency and it's also worth mentioning that not a single voice opposing the nsa was interviewed during the entire report. so what was the point of all of this keep in mind that after christmas break congress is gonna come back and start work and have a fight between whether dianne feinstein is ill or whether the lake the sensenbrenner bill gets passed which rich greens and all of this pie the last sixty minutes report was less about giving americans the answers and more about that is the chance to fire the opening salvo in what could be a pivotal legislative fight next year and they seem to have the mainstream news media in their corner in washington d c span socks are too. syria has been a civil war for nearly three years now with no end in the foreseeable future. on both sides has ramped up dramatically this week and leaving hundreds of civilians that actually care

but correspondent abu talib bubble high and has more. nom nom of most of the dots connected that energy sources in the military is a radical islamist fighters entered the town of address and massacres local civilians according to latest figures at least eighty people were killed in that district which the syrian army has now been great. entire families were killed. other families were kidnapped and are being used as human shields in the battle against government forces the u s from the bottle. i don't know if it's cold this week. they were killing. my dark green tea this evening. the pure i was thinking to much. with the shop. the key to him

immediately. families have been transferred to areas south of town. they're now being held in strategically important zones which the rebels. friendships these places are heavily fortified. sources also say the total death toll in that draw me in fact increase because the syrian army has not liberated the entire town rt care of the correspondent of the hall a bubble height yet. two longtime guantanamo bay detainees have been transferred out of the detention facility and saudi arabia and what they described as a ray of hope for the facility isn't that swell of her. according to guantanamo bay task force for a new assessments from two thousand nine and it's fine with the link to the new york times. sigh on muhammad was signed to honey was captured in pakistan back in two thousand wine and was considered at risk for re engaging with our clean air meanwhile the mood of dollars from moon was captured in karachi pakistan in two thousand to his official files to spend time as a member of osama bin laden's fifty fifth air of a brigade which took place in

the attack on iran air force base. he was assigned as the high risk to us interests whitney the intelligence value. i spoke with michael ratner president emeritus at the center for constitutional rights to talk more in depth about the transfer of these and then what it means for the future of guantanamo bay but you know we've had eighty people who've been recommended for relief years ago has taken five years since obama promised to close the place to start getting some people really. it is as you said a ray of hope. why now i think a couple of things one is i think the hunger strike that took place in may are a few months ago. with this. the shoe back on the front page that's number one number two i think it is still a huge issue in the muslim world that we are keeping hundred eighty people hundred and sixty people rather what never been charged with crimes at guantanamo so i think they wanted they actually may actually making an effort to close it but obama has had played feel about it left the sea with these two up

last two people recently sent to algeria against their will i think two more people than are going out today this today and i will make a difference will be down to under fifty eight. will they actually get it close. i still think it's very unlikely in this administration. just remember half of those people have not been cleared for release at having been charged with anything but they haven't been cleared for release the case as fine wine and guantanamo bay officials chose these two men fur elise as all the other for that you had mentioned previously. i think we are trying to figure out what countries they believe they can get assurances that the people sent that won't be tortured they claimed to have that from algeria. we at the center who had one of those algerian clients and as he and think that is wrong that he is in danger in algeria a bit they went ahead anyway i think because of the pressure on them to try and get them closed. i don't think there's any particular order i think it's when they can get agreements with countries and get people out

but they certainly have not worked very hard on it. as we sit here were coming the plunge and where eleventh and twelfth anniversary. some of these men have been there eleven and almost twelve years. the doctor shows me that they're not working very hard and recently a couple of days ago the general who actually was responsible for setting up guantanamo general and heart came out with a statement saying it was the wrong thing to do to set up to begin with. we didn't learn anything from the interrogations have to be closed immediately and it's unconstitutional to keep people that want on a mile without any charges and without any convictions yet that's what i'm afraid to say that part of my country has become the law will happen to these men next after they are transferred away from guantanamo bay are they still in prison somewhere else or do they walk as free men well certainly with regard to the two algerian they were put into incommunicado detention and algeria immediately. we've been trying to put huge amount of pressure on algeria

the petition campaigns demonstrations so that they won't do anything to these men experience in two thousand ten of them and was sent back to algeria. i did not go well he got a very long sentence really for not doing anything that you won i would consider a criminal except really opposing the algerian government by having left it. so i say we are worried i mean obviously we have to keep track of the people in saudi arabia were sent back and each of them because you never know what's gonna happen to them hopefully this administration will be more are able to look at that than have in the past and will be more concerned that because one bad example will put this program to an end but one thing that shocking to me that obama is tomorrow and clothes but half of that camp on despite the restrictions that are there in congress yemen in particular his eighty some people from yemen sitting in guantanamo fifty five of those been cleared for release. yemen has been taken off the list of countries in a way can no longer send people tomorrow obama can transfer those

fifty five when we start getting some aspirin for is like that. i begin to have some hope that this ray of hope. oh will go into real sunshine. for the people that went on the top of what you were just talking about let's look in on the energy to help about one of the major issues that has been following this process down significantly and the transfer of these men to other countries. the new national defense authorization act see if the outside only mechanic that allows for compromise on flexibility and transferring these men out of fuel to what they do about that. the last national defense authorization act which is still in effect was permissible enough to allow these six people to be transferred into algeria to the saudi arabian to the sudan. what that shows me is that those quote restrictions that could have been complied with by obama all along but he didn't know and the aa which will be voted on next week. here's a little more room to make the certification that

the people on the dangerous server said the best et-cetera but he's always had that long but hopefully it will be somewhat of a green light if not a big green light for him to stay up. i now may have the courage because maybe congress is not a strong against that i've to get these people out of guantanamo but it's something the president should have done a long time ago that i put really right at his feet and finally we had just shot an out of time left the guests here on our table for us said that even if guantanamo bay doesn't actually close for good the idea of guantanamo bay or indefinite detention while not what you think about that this country has changed permanently since nine eleven the idea that we can and he made it and people that we didn't prosecute anybody for torture but they don't have to try people when you pick them up. i'm afraid that is now embedded in the american legal system. so what i fear if they can close guantanamo physically but you will not and the illegal detentions and are currently going on in places like bagram and they go on in other places as well so i

think it's very bad going forward even if it's close physically but closing after that we would certainly be an important step for takeaway for the men at guantanamo michael ratner has an emeritus at the center for constitutional rights. thank you so much. moving forward with plans to buy out the robotics company boston dynamics is somewhat surprising move by the internet giant's four years boston dynamics has been leading the way in machine innovations in the interest of the defense advanced research projects agency or darpa what has been partnering with the company for years. now what's the use and the one saying is that uploaded some of the most interesting events and those that have come out from boston dynamics. so first a look at how many of robot designed to look like a human for the testing of chemical protection clothing. i don't want to move freely and do a number of authentic exercise is. even when exposed to deadly chemicals. and then there's this role by god to

calm me down fifty nine s creature was originally designed to lug around soldiers here but i can also throw a cinder blocks like you doing right now like a shot. now this robot runs about one mile faster in india when it's winter hussein falls in the sun is lower than actual she died awesome dynamic says the company to last acquired in the field of robots in the past six months a while tech giant is also behind the first ever self driving car. no word yet on how much will pay it forward on plans to use boston dynamics in future ventures. so for now looks like we're going to have to stay tuned well you've heard of people using picket signs and protest chance to get their message at the center cross in the past. stripping down to just give me this one is exactly what one mexican congressman recently dead

during a speedster result we're about a controversial new energy bill in the country. congressman antonio garcia an echo of the democratic revolution party. the center on wednesday while talking about the future consequences of allowing foreign private companies to drill for oil and caps in mexico the course on and it was no donovan is in mexico with a look at some of the protests of her picking fights. takes the case the anti reform the noted for me to cities across mexico it's a new demonstration of power that those who lose will make government has approved without taken since we talked to get this in its weak points of the mexican constitution. we'll be multiplied beyond the edge of the many mexicans this new era in any case it just means the beginning of the evidence that country's independence many also believe that the whole process basically just possible that decision

was meteoric and even before the debate began. the rapid approval the girl told me skip to the delegations in the straight to the position of those the politicians that makes it onto the site of the people on the side. sure it works. as an interested they don't care what we think in all his mates who have been combing through the units that don't know what they are doing is teaching us history. the only thing now and will deal only symbolically protest is in mexico city the nation's capital chose the square of independence to kick off a massive march. women prefer to deal with. i haven't

pulled it out to compete again. not happy with their blessings. donovan reporting from mexico city. in john ten ten station announced plans last week to phase out antibiotics of the channel the key to growing health concerns. now the reason for this movie because experts say if you are taking too much of these antibiotics and and their bodies are coming up with drug resistant super bugs that render them useless the center for disease control reports that every year to million people get sick from antibiotic resistant bacterial infections and twenty two thousand people die the majority of bacteria that causes the second one says comes from the one in particular from me. now this movie is the latest in the obama administration's attempts to raise the food safety standards. the food additives that are targeted this time include anti microbial and argues that fashion animals up to provide more weeks. it is also aimed at phasing out the use of a medical antimicrobial zz such as kris allen and tetris i quit. resource council says eighty percent of all

antibiotics are sold it and then use it is unnecessary at antibiotics and all my stock pharmaceutical companies are also asked to voluntarily participate in the removal of growth promotion hormones un ending taken away from their labels for these intimate crowd meals. we now have ninety days to decide whether or not they want to act here to these new policies and three years with the new practices in place well what is creepier in an old man sneaking into her house every year while your sleeping to eat your cookies drink your mouth and actually made the leaves presents. the aclu says the nsa as much creepier than santa on his hand into the holiday spirit. we see a christmas themed video stream during hot plates. due to copyright restrictions that can lead the song for you but here are some of the larynx and bear with me i am certainly not the onset

you better watch out you better not sky. you better watch out you better not like the nsa is coming to town your making a list and checking its clients. they're watching almost every act much money into fights the nsa is coming to town now with the sun for another minute and a half but i certainly won't subject you to my singing voice from out of me because that in itself might be considered unconstitutional. it's just the latest lady aclu is drawing attention to the nsa scandal and trying to get the to rise up and do something about it. now for monastery to cover go to youtube dot com signs rt america. check the website rt dot com slash usa. i know i'm doing one and not bringing its day's top stories. follow me on twitter at night and underscore lopez also people here at the time
