experiencing this amazing sporting event in salty the atmosphere has been a lecture we had mexican waves is something she read on of course. russia has debate to be done so well in this olympics because the trauma and tough sell you out. i'm sure that you get liechtenstein would be that this actually very very well ryan ready it aka now some critics over there's certainly some naysayers ice on twitter people come in complaining about the weather being on the warmer side but as i understand there is a wintry weather making a comeback over there are folks who am looking foward to it well before i came once the tv with you i was a sort of been a wet myself a little because that's just a few days ago. we had about pieces of people some may think me up on the black sea has to fight the disease some stories about the local bourse bowls wearing just a tea set but it has changed completely. heidi was about twenty degrees almost two days ago but now it's up reaching the zero again. i do issues with asphalt in the mountains some of the races had to be

the council that this button do it with different dates are yet to set the getting out when sea of momo wintry here in solitude but of course when i got few days left until the end of the current intakes people the paralympics begins but it's not going to off wilson that he can really complain about the cold temperatures here in saucy high ranks well stay warm as the temps dipped down over there appreciate you. waiting an hour letting us know the latest over there that was our t's martin andrews in sochi now onto the ukraine where the country is seeing the most violent protests. that's the latest news the ukrainian president has agreed to a truce with opposition leaders according to the presidential web site the government has agreed to start negotiations with protesters. all dozens of people are reporting that as demonstrators clashed with police and this after officers attempted to clear out the independence square the hotbed of protests in the capital city of kiev. at least nine officers were

killed try. according to the interior ministry class the conflict turns deadly us and european leaders are putting pressure on the ukrainian government to ease up on using force to give the president obama had to say about it today while on a trip to mexico. a win in the primarily responsible for making sure. he is dealing with the peaceful protesters in an appropriate way. he said the ukrainian people were able to assemble and speak freely about their interests without fear of oppression. we expect the ukrainian government show restraint. not resort to violence in dealing with peaceful protesters. we said that we also expect peaceful protesters to remain peaceful obama later said there would be consequences if

the government does not back down in the form of sanctions but ukraine said it's the protesters that are fueling the violence pointing to the death of several police officers ukraine's top security agency also said that he is launching a counter terror operation. the agency says protesters seized over fifteen hundred firearms and one hundred thousand bullets in the last twenty four hours as the country turns to chaos is there any solution insights. i feel like c or jet ski is reporting that yet the last night with imported from the detritus from the protests inside this time will take you to the other side of the barricade the police lines with obesity the odyssey is great as i just took a soul filled the police lines and the police as he did a concert of what's happening at the moment as you can see the police line in seattle but at the protest is the elixir of the tires on fire again. the coal areas covered with black smoke is hard to see to read the police up pretty much everywhere cos the place had

the presence right now especially after the information. that's reportedly protesters in the western part of the country the run up front costs. sadiq khan stole a tasty ten thousand holders of several hundred handguns and machine guns from the security services are some of them that bring in over two t of. that's why the authorities are to implementing some sort of counter terrorism operation mode in ukraine would not know for sure what that is good but that is definitely needing a tougher security measures everyone was against it up a little hard on so i can see parts of the movement of the police's their rotating all the time that morning that forces now and then decided to commit violent at the moment although just a few minutes ago we saw from this building over there which is used to be the least of the revolution headquarters in the form of labor union building several molotov cocktail was thrown right at the place where i'm standing right now as you can see it looks like continuing the war zone with all the rubble with all the rocks which worked on at least the remains of molotov cocktails garbutt everything so this used to be a beautiful adding essential

city of kid is pretty much a telling story of what has become over the pa several days this is the true mayhem right now you call it stands we can call it. pretty much concentration on that to violence last night and violence on tuesday but i never know what's going to happen next because everyone behind all this line of five behind barricades over that they're expecting another assault on the police the police was standing calmly and doing nothing at all that to secure the perimeter as fun as we can see i spoke to some of them were not really aggressive they're not expecting any movement tonight said. you can mold that it does is going to be quiet again. no assurances of that because no enough with god so that santa is documented proof already that the protests this fabulous life of weapons live rounds against the police as well as the police using some of those against the protests as well. so we keep pointing the situation and we're hoping that no major violence will happen during the night that happened on tuesday night in kiev. that was our

tea as i like see here sets in. the conflict have divided the country with opposing sides blame each other for escalating the violence. sir that trick of it is a foreign affairs editor at the chronicles magazine here's his take. we have weakness base and keep up to see from the european union ever since the beginning of this crisis from the face of the most patience. early on the protests had the detainee to be the cool evenings and in mid december and in the terrorism seems to endure the nineteenth and we can no longer use the term tenants. i would rather use that to read books because we are looking at de facto on the belly and oriental college to continue listening to the guardian calls from the west and he has also been called abide by them. and by carrying and cost constraints with the secret self defeating because all of these people are up to them

they want regime change they're interested in the geopolitical control over key country in central eastern europe. that was there that try to advance to a foreign affairs editor and the chronicles magazine. a former cia analyst is suing the state department for putting him on a watch list raymond other and has filed a civil rights suit again secretary of state john kerry and the george washington university police department it's over an incident that happened three years ago at the university for mcgovern was protesting a speech from then secretary of state hillary clinton take a look at what happens the satellite click here. mourinho mcgovern a us military veterans as he was trying to peacefully protest when

police removed him from this bj and used a brutal sports leaving him battered and bruised you can see his injuries. in this photo here after the ordeal the governor believes this incident has kept him on the state department's radar and as proof. this can be be on the lookout document that mcgovern says was given to authorities alerting them to be careful if they come across canada and contacts diplomatic security. for more and as i spoke earlier when tomorrow overheating hillier. the executive director of the partnership for civil justice fund. this is the organization f i l that suits a first faster what happens mr mcgovern after he was arrested well it's because he was pardoned a minute video of what happened and it is very important because on that mr mcgovern did and he's not well known peace activist and former c i a analyst he stood to the president's daily briefing. when he became outspoken about

the falsehoods that were being put together by intelligence to justify a war in iraq and africa speeches and secretary clinton. all he did was stand at least i will in turn back. that is all he did and he was brutally ground he was he was roughed up you see the injury was not to be on the lookout alert we discovered was issued after that we don't believe was the two beforehand that as result of completely peaceful act of dissent. he was put on the steelers look. i was asking this and as you would think it was a secret document how did you get a look back how did he learn that he was on this list well what we did as we undertake an investigation of the participants of justice fun to get documents related to the arrest and other materials in what we found were able to eventually get it took quite some time when some information that showed that the department of state actually opened an investigation into mr mcgovern it was lawful peaceful free speech activities his writings his association with the group's he works with and then the issue that be on

the lookout alert which isn't nearly the lookout for him be alert explicit lead to acts that he be stopped in question so with a fourth man to see spirits for for purely peaceful and lawful activities. they are directed along forced to stop and sees mr mcgovern in question. i don't imagine that we contacted the state department for comment at their press officer told the sun too long ago we cannot comment on matters currently in litigation so not really saying anything at this point but it sounds like you believing he was targeting purely for his political views while we can tell that he was targeted crisp look of these because the actual document we have states in a document that mr mcgovern has engaged in considerable amount of political activism primarily anti war it is their own words throughout this we were able to find that the open and us intelligence test against the captain of the seven month even though all charges were dropped and it's completely full of descriptions of peaceful free speech first amendment protected activities and when he is very significant when

we have secretary clinton now secretary kerry president obama routinely speaking to the world to other countries about the importance of defending descent. and here in the united states and the most peaceful form of protest and then ends up like this and i believe that is precisely why the then secretary of state honoree clinton was talking about during that speech weight that seems pretty ironic. now we are we know about this tomorrow this is just one incident you believe people like amare targeting all the time it is just an isolated incident or do you think that this actually happens more often than we think people being targeted because or put on special is because of their political believe movement organizations represented thousands of demonstrators in the united states could have been subjected to mass arrest brutality to suppression of dissent or engage in peaceful lawful political protest. you look at the occupying them in the united states across the united states the federal government will call on for some authorities the west and within seven thousand people

to shut down these peaceful weekend and all around the country. so we stayed over and over again even in recent years the bag use of a lot worse than the federal on force that other anti terrorism authorities explicitly against lawful peaceful political movements in the united states. i am on sale i ask you out what organization year we represent a lot of people in similar positions you just mentioned abt what you're demanding and what you think the state department should feel i would imagine that they may be there's people that for some reason they are there they have suspicions on an action alert or their officers and to keep a lookout for one reason or another. do you think that they shall just stop this practice altogether. it is illegal and unconstitutional the target somebody for a long fourth defeat in the absence of suspicion of criminal activity. there is no suspicion acrylic enamel part of ms mcgovern. they are directed on force but to stop season question and purely because his political beliefs that are unlawful and were demanding and in essence be rescinded and alien thing to

see how this case plays and plays out we found out mr mcgovern on the show plenty of time so i'll be keeping a close i appreciate you telling us all about it that was my mary in her ear to the effect of a director of the partnership for civil justice fund. maren as a contractor edwards noting continues to make international headlines critics think he's a traitor for leaking documents exposing the mass of nsa surveillance program. others praise him for his actions and distill accolades upon an artsy court on and on some feature that has more murrihy hand we all know him the mind boggling revelations on the mass surveillance conducted by the west. his popularity seems to be growing by the day. now thirty years old former nsa contractors would still mean history by disclosing thousands of top secret government documents and links forever changing the way the world looks at privacy and security while still is currently in temporary asylum in russia and wanted in the us. he has

been elected director of glasgow university. very prominent school in scotland mostly a symbolic position that he will officially hold for three years. we are not effective to court to issue such as democratic rights the presence of us opposition to the faces and immoral state intrusion has gone down in the wreckage what is more awkward stilted persona not that great whistleblowers that we stand in solidarity with them wherever they are with the base with a spokesperson for snowden director election campaign to discuss the symbolism of this boat on thursday and explosions beef roasts the expense of those costs is that this is the sales prices of both espn and abc student teachers for whom possible or not the first time that support for edwards. don't get this kind of recognition in january the san francisco based freedom of the pratt foundation aimed at supporting and defending interest journalism co founded by pentagon papers weaker daniel alpert who describes known as a personal

seems to be on the part of pressure. and put thoughts in the united states. i'm a bit but it's unclear what did the actual poppers of this year's marco has been pushing the us for a relationship similar to the so called five i is agreement reached after the second world war a deal between english speaking countries not to spy on one another. the white house isn't playing ball. there's no country where we have a no inspiring. now it appears that germany is going on the offense f with plans for counter espionage against western allies. as for merkel's into proposal while the devil is in the details currently the message sent from one online user to another to have a long journey before reaches its destination. although the german government housing for the specifics the european network could potentially allow data to bypass background is that we would stay low for why the internet is a global network going at all see your toes against the concept of a world wide web. what's more

different european countries have different loss of privacy. so when shared policy would need to be adopted for a europe wide scheme to work and there's a bigger issue is not a stop in and say let's put it that way um yes a gu square today it is. if the nsa simple text messages that the telecommunications networks in china. they can probably manage to get facebook messages at determining moving the date is fixed. showing david is the problem. the problem that will take more then topped it off to fix. reporting in berlin for our tea and the seychelles. retail store in air facing a growing fat rats from hackers. you probably recall last christmas party servers were compromised. original estimates that approximately forty million target customers had been hacked we're learning now that the estimated at between seventy and one hundred and ten million people. it's just the latest incident clinging

to us credit card security becoming more in more vulnerable. art is an irritated reports i called the company and ask them about the charge in who had needed and they told me that it had come in on mine that the internet. and i said i had not made the charge. it's a story that's becoming all too familiar miscellaneous and mysterious charges appearing on credit card bills over and over again when in november it came to a second time i thought i'd record numbers and soul and for me some long grass and a number of other americans this is a reality. it's becoming normal. according to the latest numbers from the bureau of justice statistics about seven point seven million people had their credit card information stalin and two thousand twelve fifty nine percent increase is just two thousand me. and when measured globally the numbers are just as staggering. right now the us accounts for forty seven percent of credit card fraud in the world. even

though it processes just twenty four percent of total payments and that number is only expected to rise solidifying the us as the credit card fraud capital of the world. the answer is no better indication of that then what happened just two months ago here it's hard to pronounce it back over my city of over seventy million credit card users nationwide team on shindig on an on line security expert says that points to a problem in the way many american companies are securing their data. one of the things we have to think about is what i call outside and inside around a lot of times companies of securing extremely well the outside insecurity. don't let anybody in the front door. then there's gaps in the inside around one share in the front door you can go to every room in that house. meninga was going on just in secure servers. most credit cards in the us operate with magnetic strips allowing for account information to be easily read
