you knew you when you will eye. coming off an artsy president obama tells us he wants to change the nsa surveillance program but are the proposed reforms that enough to silence critics of the latest just a hack. and iran suspends its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. could this temporary deal paved the way for a future trends. more on these developments coming up and the industry and leaving the city of angels for the city of san. what's behind the move out of los
8:01 pm
angeles. we'll speak with an adult entertainer later a shout. fan. january twenty oh five pm and washington d c i a mob and your art in america well ever since former contractor and were snowed in the one point seven eight million classified documents to the world is hearing the nsa is internal structure of president obama has been walking the fine line of political fallout. if each of the permanent justice last week the president finally address the issue and announced sweeping reforms to the way the national security agency collects digital information. the changes included some more oversight by the executive branch the working national security letters that forced private companies to hand over customer information to the nsa and an end to section two fifteen of the patriot act which allows the ball collection of medicaid. now
8:02 pm
some say the president's reforms went too far. others say they didn't go far enough with this historic speech enough to quell privacy concerns expressed by and civil liberties advocates and lawmakers like ron wyden and rush holt's up earlier i spoke with matthew kelly gruber is a legal fellow at the bill of rights defense committee and i first asked him if he agreed with the statements made by tech companies and this speech was a second wind direction but it didn't go far enough. yes i do. there was a lot left out of the speech the president made although he did acknowledge a couple of really important point that i think many civil liberties activists like myself really care about specifically connecting the legacy of. systemic oppressive abuse of surveillance programs to current data collection institutions. it doesn't and it leads to knowledge. so what are real or would you like to have seen and now within this nsa speech. well i mean. in a dreamworld what
8:03 pm
i really like these that it's actually about to re evaluate no harm. all of these reforms as an opportunist each sorta still occurred under the rubric of the patriot act which in my opinion and i think anything of menace. and adequately prioritize safety. we did against constitutional concerns. meanwhile he did take a closer look at one section of patriot act section two fifteen double clutch of men a day that now he did say that he wanted to bring formats and in the way they knew when i know it meaning that said the government will no longer be responsible for collecting and storing the information as i understand it he wants to put that into that at the hands of third party is one evening about that. um. i mean it it's starch. section two fifteen metre data collection are kind of really only the tip of the ice for the total amount of information at the nsa collector process in the us is not simply the nsa
8:04 pm
the kitchen data collection and also the da. the fbi. it was an expense the cia over their domestic concerns are limited data. being that i would like to see more of them. i think when an address we focus on better data collection internet surveillance nathan is increase in surveillance and it sort of. the convergence between multiple technologies together we focus only on the data collection. the call records you know. the recent lose the bigger net. it is also being kept simultaneously. the speech president obama was trying to balance between defending the nsa and performing acts now one of the heart of where he's talking about the steps that he had taken in the past to keep the surveillance apparatus is in check and make your opinions we increased oversight in autumn including the structures came to the compliance improved rules were proposed by the government approved by the foreign intelligence or the surveillance court. and we sought to keep congress continually updated on these
8:05 pm
activities. what i did not do to stop these programs wholesale. not only because i felt that they made us more secure war. but also because nothing in that initial review and nothing of that i've learned cents. indicated that our intelligence community has sought to violate the law or is cavalier about the civil liberties of their fellow citizens. sony has not been piling into law or the civil liberties of americans kidnapped the case then why call for this mass of reach for my non stick mine the nsa policies. well i mean calling the massive reform comes unambiguously from the disclosures made by edward stone. and when the president says the nsa hasn't stepped over the lion d'or of highly visible and he's simply not true. in fact it's quite good journalism around the essays use of their data collection systems to monitor their ex girlfriends and it's like
8:06 pm
that of the history of abuse we did against the potential for keeps is i think the bigger question the potential for the systems to the abuse even with the safeguards that the president is suggesting is still extremely high enough to really concerns us i think the lack of transparency an incredible amount of secrecy with which these organizations operate from it. the types of over beaches that can go totally unnoticed until her slick and edwards then comes forward so i don't think that those reforms although limited knowledge the appropriate direction. don't do enough to take the structure the fight to court to score for intelligence surveillance court which itself operates in secret and the left the ability of congress actually especially meaningful regulations on nsa activity. none of that is really. dressed in an email to. now we talk about reforms being made on the federal level i understand there's also a number of legislation is coming up on the state level to look through a couple of those ideas gasoline. so there is a
8:07 pm
theater to mention the homebuilder. today was to repeal act of a rational that one approach to national level. i think many activists um and you were just concerned with disabilities generally think about where they live and you know the state. individual states an individual community center a place to really be active and of an individual sense of that and there is the fourth minute protection act which came up in california is another version that washington state about six other states indiana tennessee in a store on the way all the time. these state level. patient or his estate from participating and for assisting in bulk data collection not limited only to the nsa but to any federal agency that would undertake and so that's upline state constitutional privacy standards to the state to state or federal programs the same time given as national security letters is there any way to know whether or not those companies are actually participating given
8:08 pm
the nature of those and classified national security letters the killings of it is that it doesn't deal with private conduct lake. i think is that liberties concerns run google data collection are one thing i knew where the conversation went i think that matter is google's never going to kick in your front door. you know that's that's the job of the fbi and so what this legislation does is it prevents the state providing material resources to organizations federal organizations that are engaging in bulk data collection that means water and power and access to roads and access the internet and quit. so without the state's cooperation bespoke programs so when the state which draws its cooperation on privacy grounds on constitutional grounds really cripples the provincial going forward the onus on the federal government to come up with better more comprehensive more secure programs that are really in a fit when people in a regular communities in regular towns are willing to accept. very interesting thank you so much for walking us through some of those and state legislation zoe's was
8:09 pm
how some privacy advocates are responding to the nsa reforms meant to kill him through illegal fellow at the bill of rights defense committee. the us supreme court has agreed to take up two cases that deal with the search of cell phones during a rest. the issue at hand is whether police officers first need to obtain a warrant before surging to a person's cell phone or whether it falls into the same category as any other device found on the suspects kerr said the system from two incidents where police searched their phones and found incriminating evidence during the arrests which led to more serious charges. lawyers of one of the defendants say that the rapid advances in technology require updated laws that take the capabilities of smartphones in the house stanford university law professor geoffrey fisher said. modern cell phones provide ready access to a vast array of personal data and are distinct from the types of possessions such as cigarette packages or foot lockers. this high court has
8:10 pm
previously considered. thus the search incident to arrest cried at the touch of a bite me calm. a search of private and confidential the confidential information such as medical records making activities and work related e mails. now the issue of unreasonable searches and seizures has what courts across the country. six courts have ruled that the port mann act allows for cell phone search as three others disagree the law currently in place as they soften a forty year old supreme court decision whether for ninety one percent of americans own it and store personal information on their cell phones. while the european union has suspended some of its economic sanctions against iran as part of a groundbreaking nuclear deal this could be the first sign that tensions are finally beginning to ease between western countries and so called rogue nation. in exchange for these lips. ron had been lifted restrictions iran has agreed to scale back its uranium enrichment program. the deal with the restrictions on the trade

highlights the systematic problem of police brutality art easel was all has more we've seen in india after image showing scenes like this the un force made using force to subdue people with guns and tons of tasers pepper spray or their bare hands. but even just a few bad apples or is there a systematic problem. it's hard to tell because accurate statistics are hard to come by. the fbi come titles crime information on just about everything and something called the chief of the uniform crime report. you won't find in that report is the number of the shootings that happened to release any information on police use of force. we asked the fbi if they had any recent statistics their response quote justifiable homicide would be the only fbi uniform crime report program data available to determine
8:21 pm
the use of deadly force justifiable homicide is not considered a crime and not all agencies report the data the spokesman tells rt that the fbi only collects information that the officers seriously injured or killed that means we can find out how many cops were killed by sita stands but not too many citizens were killed by cops when it comes to local police departments again the statistics are murky. i was in a daily basis. i received inquiries from around the country. numbering anywhere from five to ten inquiries per day. peter graham year is a dc based attorney says he hears about police brutality cases. all the time. he shows us in this video of one of its clients on the phone when an officer confronts hand and punches him in the face he missed the first time in the second time he hit him in the jaw and a place in a self released three to four hours without providing any medical care while he sat there with
8:22 pm
his jaw shattered but instances like this and may not be rare. there are many communities for the people of the emblems or too fearful of them please. duke will make the reports. often times there were lots of members of the department to make the report summit gets represents a mother that says d c police officer mark washington violated her daughter after an investigation into her runaway he came back in the way. and he came back from the guise of. as we understand and easy to conclude its investigation and document and useful graphically and felt we had a child of this world and took some inappropriate pictures prosecutors say there were other nude photos of minors on washington's camera. he was arrested in december and after being released on bail his body was found in the potomac river. as dc please continue the investigation into the case. the police chief's as they have put stricter
8:23 pm
recruiting rules in place cents but when our reliable statistics that document just how common police misconduct is concerned citizens and organizations are taking it upon themselves to blame now when the bases. police stopped if they stop and watch and record an activity and then after they do so that they that they publish those videos on social media networks and the often spread rather buy really looking at these video shot by citizens and compliant media reports then her condo puts the pieces together and found police brutality cases are high in the under reported and some of these is that the larger studies that have surveyed civilian experiences with police on about um about fourteen percent of them had indicated that they had on and entered the interaction with police that was either violent war in which they felt threatened or that there were some kind of misconduct
8:24 pm
but among those who experience that only thirty percent of them filed complaints with apartment the hope is that more people will come forward. so policing will be more transparent and villas that enforce the law will never be abundant in washington as a wall. rt. well what happens in vegas could the dolls video store shelves near human and not too distant future. the only manual on california voters approved that require adult film actors to wear protection during intercourse miss this has taken a nosedive in the l a area take a look if that's the number of applications make it all counts dropped from four hundred and eighty two just twenty four between two thousand fall than the first nine months of twenty thirteen and eighteen eighty five percent decrease not just because these companies are selling in los angeles doesn't mean that production has stopped entirely. companies are making a move to las vegas to
8:25 pm
conduct business to talk about this potential exodus from california i'm joined now by adult film performer chanel pressed in high tension now. thank you for coming. now what you've heard about the industry making moves to los vegas. love isn't actually been quite a few companies that are guarding them today as a hispanic couple that had been there for quite some time and some companies are thinking about living there now but haven't really made the plunge yet. and one unknown actors have you heard many of them making the move to las vegas. actually there have been quite a few act as amended is as well. and i a don't really wanna go there so hopefully it will come to that i have heard of the performers moving there have you ever find that you say you nothing about moving there beside me flying and filming and then coming back i actually do fly there in film there often and allow the company is when they moved there is actually cheaper for them to flight performers and verses to be an ally. so that's the positive part of being in vegas and it's obviously a
8:26 pm
lot cheaper to shoot there are any other incentives other than that keep our costs and no condom laws that make vegas the perfect place for this kind of ministry well right now is either not enforcing any regulations in las vegas and heifers they don't know exactly what those regulations are an obviously in l a they are enforcing those and that's why everyone's going today as i am of course the question as to be when will they enforce that in vegas and i think a lot of people are little worried about moving and eight. they know that display at hurling them in and they can still ultimately bring try to regulate for industry that are on the twenty one my questions was what the flossing as follows in alleys footsteps. should we expect the adult demonstrated just keep moving because it can to essentially be regulated like that like some people want to. bought stuff that's been true that slowly and i think a lot of people wanna stay in l and help them fight this because they'll want to be male attire i mean that's ridiculous. averting an entire company to a different city is a big deal
8:27 pm
some of the last nl and on friday. short amount of sense to calm down the hall to condoms the town. or is it a bigger issue regarding los angeles. i'm sorry what was that this this issue specifically about the condoms rule in los angeles or even bigger as anything else that that points to this issue people wanting to leave ally. bodies the a l a isn't being very friendly to the industry on a likeable feel like it's the i'm a witch hunt put on by aids healthcare foundation and are trying to make it to a statewide thing now. time and so it right now is to avoid regulation and also its expense of the isu in l a so if people are trying to go after this and it's expensive to make sense for some people commit to a cheaper place that isn't to try to regulate the industry. knowing the proponents of the condom law say that it is safer for entertainers in twenty thirteen there were three shutdowns in l a after several of performers tested positive for hiv. what do you
8:28 pm
stand on the issue of condoms no performer has contracted hiv on insects average performer david got hiv actually got hiv interpersonal ins and the point of the testing system is to keep it from coming and you'll never be able to regulate what people do it outside of the industry as a mule do feel safer using condoms but i don't feel like it should be a regulation call saying this is one of the only places where prostitution is legal. why is this just the natural choice for the adult film industry since there seems to be yet more blacks kind of legislation and dealing with yet i'm sure that i visited a lot to do with it. um it's also very close by its very easing to five performers of back and forth from los angeles las vegas as well what would you personally say its new anime people from los angeles hour watching this i'm realizing that this part had and this business has a bigger economic effect on less angeles an asana and
8:29 pm
also on california went well and using a map. hopefully people can see adamant that there is value in having a friend history the city because it does make a lot of money and i think l a is hurting themselves in time putting on these regulations because alot of ppl are gonna leave. adult film performer chanel press and thank you so much for coming and weighing in on this new app possible accidents to las vegas thinking of. maren left doesn't pronounce the stories they cover it in youtube dot com slash rt america the site r tx on such usa children to follow me on twitter at meghan underscore lopez and i will see right back here at eight pm eastern i inhaled. yours. i know. i
