traps it's a great concern for environmental risks as it makes changes to the earth's food chain. a deeper look at trash ocean freighter and shout a fan. it's tuesday december twenty four a ban on your egg a bit in washington dc and you're watching our tea. even today with the latest from an essay contractor adverts noun and an exclusive one on one interview with barking down then up the washington post sign explained that he's completed his goal he said for me in terms of personal satisfaction emissions already accomplished i already mine. as soon as the journalists were able to work everything that i had been trying to do was invalidated because remember i didn't want to change society. i wanted to give society a chance to determine a pitching change itself known address his critics head on in this interview explaining how thinking and

no choice but to expose the nsa surveillance activities. rt political commentators and zack's has more. were the most consistent criticisms of edwards noted level and by the nsa is top defenders. is that it was in his job to reveal the nsa secrets that he was elected to make decisions about what should and should not be classified well in this most recent interview published on monday by the washington post edwards noted spoke to that criticism. explain exactly who didn't elect him to do what you did. dianne feinstein elected me when she ah softball questions he said mike rogers elected me recap these programs have in the pfizer court elected me when they decided to legislate from the bench on things that were far beyond the mandate of what the corps was ever intended to do the system failed comprehensive win in each level of oversight use level of responsibility that should address this abdicated their responsibility. the events of las week a federal court

ruling against the disease ball phone records collection program. the white house's review panel suggesting forty six recommendations to change the nsa speak custodians points. his disclosures over the last six months have at times made our elected representatives who were in charge of nsa oversight look pretty silly. for example this argument from october between two members of the house intelligence committee congressman adam schiff and chairman of mike rogers or disagreeing over what the committee knew when we didn't know it. regarding the nsa spying on world leaders as revealed by the edwards noted you should know this dream and we will be had as a coach down to the committee and then spend a couple of hours going through amounts of product that would allow a member to be as informed as the member wishes to be on sources and methods in all activities of the intelligence community under the national

intelligence friend i would just take them out i'd say this we need to be careful what i trying to die but i really disingenuous to use the classification and i think of even disingenuous was determined efficient and we have information that we don't have it. so after that after it's all there can we really buy the argument that these committees have enough knowledge all to perform proper oversight of american spy agencies. i don't think so. certain also had a message for the nsa. he said i'm trying to bring down the nsa and working to improve the msm. i'm still working for the essay right now. just they are the only ones who don't realize it now this is the statement that most likely cost and alexander's then james kloppers heads to explode the whole i'm doing this because i'd love you. we all remember as kids. but snowden may have a point. you can argue that the nsa has lost in sweat. the collected all method industries using today

that you need a haystack to find the needle philosophy as far as we know as the portal of a single plot but it has led to the secret doctrines are shown to a lot of the overload of tennessee databases. this led to the construction of an extremely expensive massive clincher old spice center in utah. bands. this led to perhaps the greatest threat to constitutional person for the many rights that are nation as seen in quite a long time. then it's a really really wants to call snowed in a traitor. nguyen's. he just might be their savior in washington d c sam socks argent. the inside on this we actually talked to the journalist who broke this story barking down and he just got back recently from talking to study and a fourteen hour interview which she conducted in moscow dallin is the first journalists to speak in person was stabbed and sunscreen to russia to lifers asked him why he thought

stunning granted in this interview. and why now. will the tobacco he has not wanted to be at the center of the story was the story to be about electronic surveillance and with the desk in a democracy and so he's kept away from the story has a long time trying to talk him into the idea that the end of the year after half a year of this most remarkable we'll debate that there needed to be a ton of summing up a you know what we learned what does it mean and that we needed his boys in that story and he agreed to let the comments here. so the savannah works for very long time because you as a nurse and i were in contact with him back in june are back in. i'm in a sprain was praying when he released all these documents are you've been in touch with him over a lot of contact with him you begin a new set of half a year or more ago and that's all been at the keyboard and i felt it was time for us to the mound. i'm all that you were with him for two days which is pretty extensive

amount of time fourteen hours of conversation and you know how to describe the tristan and i now need just in terms of service demeanor and his mentality. he is on remarkably through at peace with everything he's the man under considerable pressure i must assume that he isn't showing he is he's feeling like you did what he set out to do it really says that he's accomplished his mission when he means is that he's taking in. i'm the importance of going out of a secret world and handed it to the so that people can decide for themselves. twenty one and all the lines instead of having to drop off the line strong for that. in any non card any article you mention that when entered healing in his garden ever really dropped the checkout was interesting considering her saying that he was remarkably calm and whatnot on me did you get the sense that he was sort of i'm constantly worrying. i'll work concern at all about his future which is basically unknown at this

point. he doesn't project concern about his future. he is knew what i mean by then he didn't drop the story is that time. his numbers for one think he's a very private person he understands that he is in the news that he has done something for the most newsworthy he was nice to be the top of the policy so that the documents themselves. he is receiving any obligation talk about his personal life company has a natural security concerns. is that the detention orders interesting that such a private person is now so so much in the open in the right now but he took out how he prepared for this trip did you have to leave your laptop your cell phone at all i mean rather like he had tons of precautions a chat to take before going on in i can say lou little bit about that. i mean i did not bring anything with me that i was not prepared to have one or another government them to hold events to torquay for

coffee. so no i didn't bring anything sensitive mine brought an empty notebook computer and brought a telephone and we use with my mind to it on if i hadn't. no those precautions for its proposed in the end because i know it's tough. and abby had any issues since since his return to the depression although i had anybody ask the questions and here he knew it knew nothing of the recent snow and i'm using cheaper care to dwell on all the things that i found most interesting is something that everton's that he said i'm not trying to bring down the nsa and working to improve the nsa and still working for the nsa right now they are the only ones who don't realize that tom did so many missing about the current reform efforts under way on capitol hill war and the courts or anything of that nature. wilson is that he clearly has his own views about often what he most wants to make sure is that

there can be an open debate about that with full knowledge so. he was all in a secret court it was in on a very small committee of congress example. members of congress rely on their staffs there were there be the one in ten members of congress have the stanford was cleared for material at the level of secrecy. that stuff is kept from us and didn't understand much about what was going on i live. we spoke just before other good week for him that indicated many a time to his assertions that he has said all along he believes that some of the programs. yes they are illegal well. soon after we spoke a federal judge the first one to consider it an open court says. one of the main program to the nsa is unconstitutional are almost certainly unconstitutional the president's own review board comes back with many reform proposals the leaders of the u s technology has become until the president in person. that the nsa his

actions are harmed being there. the information economy so no delegation in miller the last working week of the year. actually we nibble the enemy's eyes through the keyboard about those developments. we love the idea that anything here one of the party published at a night. i would say that the use of the rampant in circles are pleased with it that's not very surprising halls known and was insistent that he would never want to publish these leaks all at once and that that would be called suicide watch. we know that what he meant by that it was this publication and dumping all the documents out of it. nonetheless he doesn't he doesn't want me to publish everything but i'm happy with me use my own judgment about what is newsworthy and what would do harm. it was only has one on one citizen silly when all was in first place we started out with susan business. there are people

who claimed that he has some other cache of material that he's gonna read up to a dead man's switch so that he doesn't he just knew something bad happens to him then he unleashes this whole thing on the world. i'm now ready for school there's no evidence for that of its kind for what he says he wants but he should just look look look at it logically. um if i do read of the dead man's switch and i that i may as well just shooting of a sleek ask everyone to shoot me because in the service of the world that really was the steepest of the holiday to do is get rid of the series it's a lovely lisa does not intend to pursue it absolutely and anime and send you happiness materiel and you having to make the decision of what gets released and land. how is it a concerted effort how how are you making these decisions i am reviewing material. i am reviewing it with a very small number of trusted colleagues. i'm doing

reporting around a lot of this piece in the form of clues that might be. you know one lion in the two units sixteen documents that makes me think that there's something going on or something of interest. i check it out and talk to government officials looked on people in history. some of the pursuer that monday of the trough. sometimes i'm persuaded by the minute that it would be a bad idea to publish the story. but most often we we we we find something that we think is interesting enough in court and in consultation with my editors at the post of the people and lastly in a guardian was stranded outside the uk government and force to destroy it at the copies on their server and i was wondering if that's ever been an issue for you or the washington post anyhow i ve been able to maintain these documents and and really i protect them d if there'd been threats record can use against me or what can proceed to tell it that would be news and we would be the first report appears in

no time no ten of us come to compel us to do anything there been times when it asked us to turn to persuade us not to publish something that i would agree times would happen. and good cheer the question we are taking very considerable steps to keep it real soon. i was nine gallon right after the washington post and senior fellow for this entry foundation. why are we on the topic of adverts not in the nsa whistleblower just released an alternative christmas message. britain's channel four chosen to deliver their annual response to queen elizabeth way till christmas. the state's set and focus on the topics he has come to represent by explaining why he values privacy so greatly take a listen. a child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all you'll never know what it means to have a private moment themselves they were recorded and was gone. and as

long as privacy matters privacy is what allows us to do. we all are. and we want to be. so there you have it snowed in is a version of christmas goodwill. while bankers on wall street are a little extra jolly this season as they give themselves a pretty nice gift money wrapped in a boat with that i had that ninety one point four four billion dollars. the kids this year that is the total sum up extra cash. fingers will be proceeding as a holiday bonus is in fact it's so much money that bankers don't know what to do with that the financial times is trying to help out by publishing a magazine called how to spend it getting bankers ideas for how to invest their money. but one or group called the other ninety eight percent has been frozen on the idea for where that money can go you must think of you with that money instead of spending and antoine say that this was the hardest hope all is

the other ninety percent is asking that bankers get their bonus this to the homeowners who no longer have hopes to talk about this initiative and how it might be mutually beneficial for both the homeless and wall street i was winner of the year by the other ninety eight percent a lexus goldstein at a faster how bonuses are calculated on wall street and whiny are such a big deal down there a big part of compensation and he's been posting things here there was a very high in the center usually in the range of one hundred and fifty thousand turner fifty thousand the pan on top of that they get the start of performance bonus and we had to carry that there's a number of surveys and one and we were looking at was a brat when your time's eye analysis and consulting company johnson says he is basically at the top eight u s think how much money they had set aside for bonuses in two thousand and thirteen after we arrived at the ninety one point four four billion dollars was result of that sir may i and other york times article. i

actually predicted that bonuses were going to rise this year by five to ten percent. how it's possible that the noun total almost ninety two billion dollars buddy in ukraine the race for stealing think about her and instead there was this bloomberg article about how the government despite the government's subsidy and eighty three million dollar settlement of the top of that government subsidies is going right back into bonus is that this is just random thoughts he has worked for really long time we tried it a pity that elevated the beauty and grace to work there on the ice and played myself in this video we can add another ninety eight dot com but they feel they justified the feeling you're doing something for him to pose the greater threat in and we can take issue with her and hosted definitely check out the video is that very funny that on what's incredible is that bankers are so much money and i didn't know this but you pointed it out the financial times actually has a magazine that's called like how to spend a penny comes out the incendiary and thirty times a year it's incredible but you'll hours suggesting that there is a way for them to spend

the money in and a noble way and that i have a donate that money to the homeless heat up a little bit about why the home. last i heard that the people that really deserve that bonus this year so the five races cars ten million people to be displaced from their homes on the late walter family home single family homes is a lot of people haven't gotten back on their feet. after that in a letter that was because the things ran into neighborhoods and sold these ones really press of a lot of them were predatory on there's a lot of racial discrimination and so we are placing you've made all of these ill gotten gains. why you give the money back to the people that you took it from in the first place and we had a couple proposals when a man is this thing called the national affordable housing trust fund which was something they cannot in two thousand and eight. it's never been fined it on a visit or call the national low income housing coalition it's as if we find it that trust fund for ten years at thirty billion dollars the year end homelessness in america sourcing camping spot on the first two years and that he'll still have several ten dollars left the ranks and

end up outbreak are on break when the people in the super nice to know that at the beginning of the year i intend and eighty eight point five billion dollars to settle complaints that the improperly foreclose on homes can you explain what it means stay in icu and properly for but sometimes i don't know the latter cnn communal at things but when things it means that every team it was made by the homeowner they were not really the middle of their key men and because of some staff our paperwork problem member state or perhaps outright malfeasance they were foreclosed on. anyway so there's this big salmon with a kind of camp cash payments to people who lost their home even though the male their payments. i'm not a reason in mind that illegal is because i was approved for loan modification. and so one sided the banks and wearing a lower monthly payment that the either side of ink wasn't communicating to the right hand was a time when the left and andy were foreclosed on anyway even though they had negotiated a lower rate my pain and i did nothing wrong so those are just too long on dealing with the complaints in the last eaten all of that for the bankers held accountable in any other way i don't think sending can

perceive the latter finds that the most part these fines are lower than the profits made in the crimes committed in and so i think it's just the cost of doing business until either ceo people going to prison and thinks held accountable by saying you don't have to do business anymore for acts on to axe years before searing continue to see these problems and i were saying nothing nice to get to take these big dollars we've gotten in this ill gotten leading to hear something to give it back to people a car. we should sell this idea of getting the money to the banker she's getting. i did the holland sentinel on from a pr standpoint for the bakers can talk a little bit about that too. some readers of this is a win win right. i mean i think that the games would be doing the right thing but they're also doing an npr piece from this because nobody really likes them stale there's still this big pot there is a big ask jpmorgan twitter experiment that people are content to do just a month or so ago when they said. turns out to get some questions and a cot ethically troll that they were asking funny question people asking serious questions but the sort of

upside and it was that people are still very angry and so i think if they were just it's very common sense thing antique wine made in one year it would july to boost their independence and their spending on these money on advertising mother still lacking behind the scenes when they gifted for their own pr let alone the secretary on each axle each while assisting me in the new you've been wanting to get fifty thousand signatures on this petition and the eur he had forty seven thousand which is amazing that only three thousand year old so my question is for what's next what's the next step. the key to taking green tea and kindness during and in the offseason korean actions in the new year when bad things actually get their bonus this means they don't actually get them on christmas. on the bridges connecting china signed a big big spotlight on the fact that list and eighty three billion nice here in government subsidies in your payments of ninety million dollars a month into something really wrong with our noble cause and we will follow with you to see what happens thank you so much like the school team communications director for the other ninety percent

depressing. initially to realize the extent of the problem with the largest concentrations of marine debris in the pacific ocean is halfway between hawaii california called the great pacific garbage patch. i'm just more accidentally found the garbage patch in eighteen eighty seven plus owing to a diner where ocean currents are to lay and collect trash the puppy flare up is there a lot of solid island but in general he is a fluke of plastic not really an island next year. captain moore is planning to spend a month that the garbage patch to research its effects on the food chain is difficult to see the collection of trash from above because it's mostly made up of pieces of plastic the size of a fingernail. researchers believe that there could be two million of these little pieces of plastic per square mile. millions of cricket are dying every year title in plastic. it's not just the wildlife that is being fooled into it and stuff and getting tangled in it that we ourselves that are changing

our up. biological ba with the chemicals in this hyper comes from the atmosphere that we live. scientists at the scripps institution of oceanography in san diego have also been trying to figure out how the marine debris is changing the world a script study estimated that it's an intermediate ocean depths of the pacific in chess classic at a rate of roughly twelve thousand to twenty four thousand tonnes a year. as fast as helping to keep garber data the pacific ocean. but efforts like this there are still tons of pieces of plastic. just like this which continued to make their way out to sea. clean up the mess that sort of been made is likely impossible but experts say that from the boat actually be solved with the radical a change in economic and social coulter when you hear politicians talk about growth you think it was one of the ten commandments our very being is as consumers of products this defines us these days

the brand of car we have the brown of their geo we have the brand of clothing that we have. this is how we get our identity. moore argues that consumption habits and our creature comforts of the twenty first century problem. where to put all the trash we generate. we really have to redefine ourselves as human beings as something other than a consumer in order to beat this problem. new shorelines creative trash are appearing in all oceans. and even america's great lakes as world economies continue to thrive on mass consumption captain moore will continue to sail and study the plastic oceans. in los angeles. ramon valley now. rte. canny lass some americans take the phrase better safe than sorry to another level i preparing for possible apocalypse. but the band still have one area nine for such an emergency. more on matters of residents learn her nest. i knew you know
