8:00 pm
the week. his nightly uk it's based off of walls and got enforcement dot com. guru when wing will the eye the six was the first time since yet or seven weeks today local first published the bombshell story and back with us. our cameras are there as going green while laura weight estimate that appearance. unlike the fourth straight ahead. the us senate orders ever be with us and i d's democracy program. this is after this. the department started a social media sites includes cubans want that there's a growing controversy in brazil of a picture of indigenous tribes well in western societies
8:01 pm
make contact without causing damage to them on the floor on that later in the show. i am. washington d c our friends are watching. sear the journalist who broke the story of the reach of nsa surveillance returns to us today for the first time since they began reporting on documents leaked by former contractor adverts noted glenn greenwald and mark waitress arrives in new york this morning to receive the prestigious george polk award for journalism. they said the national security reporting award with fellow reporters. elaine in a cask ale and washington post partum down. it is an ss teacher and mentor greenwald at the event and joins us now with more. this aussies spoke with the pre op this morning the first time since he stepped foot onto us soil after the nsa revelations what's the significance of this return. there were concerns he may have trouble getting back into the us
8:02 pm
that's right when yemeni significance of this guy is pretty cute because the june will mark exactly one year since the odd mind blowing revelations were made that with the help of the word snow and this mass surveillance conducted by what the government by the nsa. certainly this was the huge scandal in one year onwards deemed after rats are still very tangible the journalist who worked on the story i felt like it was a huge question whether or not they might be detained when they come back here. i certainly when greenwald spent out the last year in brazil and you know how to care if he hands out more i did not know what would happen and zach today so far for now these questions have been answered. they were ok they were able to receive these awards and had no problems but certainly that was not the case previously when they traveled out with him this is what he told us take a listen that was just given them a bit of the year
8:03 pm
like in the woods. sure sure yet on that's the main reason we came in the first instance so excited for it. how's your return back home use greens and tees. very smooth of witches of expected which is what we can not come because we didn't think that the us government wanted to do something really counterproductive and they did so well. all of the thing counter productive happen for now between the dq reader up on greenwald said spoke to journalists and he said that it took them about four to five months to be try to figure out whether or not it was ok for them to come back to the usb did not get any answers and certainly took a kind of risk. today alan see well considering the great wall has received harsh criticism and united states what does this mean for journalists in this country well i think that's the most important questions in this whole as story really one of the advent of the points in fourteen o the united states or drink i did something freedom of speech freedom for journalists but it really seems to only apply when it's convenient that kind of
8:04 pm
stories that are covered because certainly what the nsa scandal being probably the biggest story of the last decade in the last in terms of this mass secrets i find that the government was conducting under wraps this is certainly appealing story and the waiting journalists were working on this story have been treated and the reactions were really mind boggling you now with where we incurred officials calling them up on sweet readers out criminals and so on anzac ave and we will delete and basically said that this is the look huge attempts to intimidate journalists not be able to do their jobs and take a listen to its end. there are ways to intimidate journalists you can imprison them en masse but there are other ways to do it and calling journalists working on stories accomplices or having powerful chairman of committees specifically accused journalists of being criminals and advocating for the prosecution are having major media figures openly debate whether we are not prosecuted is a way to intensify the climate of fear
8:05 pm
well i'm glad when we both went on to say that basically with this extra pressure and the press serious reactions and accusations coming from officials the only thing that investigative journalist like him are left to do with to keep fighting even want to spread the truth all this out about ever snowed in today green moms that certainly. i was that his future remains uncertain greenwald has been a huge advocate obviously of what was mentioned about him i have right of poisoning in many ways of course at this point snowed in and out like greenwald are intertwined and that dad was when we will talk a little bit about this vein that of course the draft they continue speaking. they are not items noted was the kind that supportive of the two journalists including when dream of returning to the west and he's basically said that to you knowing that despite the fact that snowden is not necessarily mean in a position being in russia right now maybe this was not paid the first choice to be but at least they're saying he's not in a maximum security prison in the united states where he wants certainty still continues to face a very uncertain future
8:06 pm
this is what one on one little thing to say about that. for. the bringing to the world's attention. this system of mass surveillance and have been constructed in the dark. he's now threatened with literally decades in prison. probably the rest of his life. as a result of the united states government is doing i think is really an odious an unacceptable. and while we don't know why someone is going exactly to happen with edward norton in the nearest future in this particular case the journalists don't know what's going to happen to them either they do plan to possibly when green grey mould of course is a book coming out and plans to stay in the west keep talking about the substance and an nsa scandal but whether or not they might still be facing some kind of legal consequences from the government remains to be seen which is very shocking in itself being the twenty first centuries and as entry and is being journalists and not criminal by any means alright things start to curse when it comes to us a target. for a meeting with president obama in three weeks' time german chancellor merkel wants a good hard look
8:07 pm
at her file compiled by the national security agency really michael's first visit to the country since documents late nsa whistleblower edward study revealed the nsa spying on her. according to a report in the guardian newspaper in the german interior ministry confirmed that an official request for merkel's information had been submitted on october twenty fourth last year. so far the us has not supply the required information surely after finding out phone calls had been monitored by the nsa are all canceled a state visit with obama. this could be seen as an attempt to mend fences but go injury frustration with us and uk failure to hand over information on perspective surveillance activities could stymie the process the plaintiffs had to sent that email out to be the client need to receive it you can spend ten bucks on in flight by far. well the service providers for delta american and alaska virgin america and us airways. they'll go as it's
8:08 pm
called a wife a service has gone above and beyond its willingness to work with one plastic and the nsa in tracking which are doing the communications assistance for law enforcement act requires telecoms and stress free internet service providers to allow capabilities for law enforcement and the nsa to track users when ordered however a lot of communications commission although stated it had exceeded those requirements it's attorney wrote in designing its existing network google worked closely with lawns are spent to incorporate functionalities and protections that would serve safety and national security interests. this has alarmed civil liberties advocates don't kill company should make government monetary easier than it already it's opened up company monitoring. i think this book. it intends to apply the widely popular tests testing application want that. facebook is prepared to fork over nineteen billion dollars for the service which boasts four hundred thirty million users worldwide. not so fast. i
8:09 pm
just re commission is warning that while things look alikes user information for targeted advertisements that company must eat what that's promises not to collapse names e mail addresses and other personal information. after the deal goes through it. both companies have entered the neither service was changed by now but privacy advocates are not so sure. live at the site has joined earlier by steve my mom's see aunt lori and incorporated. i started it i started by asking him why he thinks gold rallies be cooperated with the government the interesting thing is that when they were questioned about. what that letterman they refused to specify what it is that they did ultimately want for xmas access to everything the thing is they're supposed to ask properly they're supposed to be probable cause or a warrant or subpoena was something like that. it's the belief of people in my business on an investigator. it's the belief of people in my business what they've done is they are put
8:10 pm
in a back door. which allowed is lauren forcing federal enforcement perhaps local law enforcement working through fusion centers to give direct access to everything without even having to ask and that's incredibly troubling. in the united states for a portion of such open access to communications are ready the need to go above and beyond. is it inconceivable one else would have to be gone. thus the reason of parties would be especially interested in flight internet years. it seems like a chore unless the businesses that business people would be accepted well it's not just that you're dealing with transportation they're concerned about. perhaps somebody got on a plane and didn't give their two and ended everyone today is subject to what's called electronic fingerprint. i can look at your phone your computer where you go what you do. i can build a profile of you that even if you use
8:11 pm
an alternate identity. i can say all those involved or that small. oh that's for it um this is a method this is another method to track who is really on applying who's really. sitting in seat seventeen day. and frankly that's something that's that's really really trouble that thing's of progress to the point where this would be useful to the federal government. i'm not saying that people shouldn't be a record two years their true names in true identities into identification on applying what concerns me is that this is something that would be useful to the federal government that they are so far along in the electronic fingerprinting process that they would be able to look at the profile of somebody communicating in a seat and determine if in fact it's the person with that i did the b international flights are the fun flying over abu dhabi with my internet use be accessible to us authorities
8:12 pm
the us government is or any monitoring everything and everyone overseas. by the way i'm not necessarily opposed to a lot of that. but this is this is just an unknown instead of waiting till you get off to play. use your cell phone use your computer and read a good read on the plan also took the thoughts of what social media looking at how facebook has changed from when it first started i stoop to using info for your personal info for targeted ads even subtly with the front of a commission to death and eleven for deceiving people by making it further information without their knowledge. this text application lets up a solid teak increasingly on top as well because the lack of what might have had to take a listen to what they told either users. we don't tap around the globe to his little batches possible. we don't know give us your name email address we got a birthday her home address where you work your likes what you search your gps location on a data center bangkok to the store with no
8:13 pm
plans to change it in effect that's that's what they said the statement was so bad facebook's acquiring. that is. it is ridiculously not believable. facebook makes money by ignoring as much about its uses and subscribers is possible by pigeon holing them by saying to advertisers. if you want fifteen chinese grandmothers with purple hair who drive volkswagen's we can identify those people for you. there's no way in the world that it makes financial sense for facebook to add a new program or any function. that gives any real anonymity your confidentiality to its users the busty blonde and ceo of korean incorporated. i'd say agency for international development continues until five this week after the associated press i covered the agency's role in creating a twitter like social media platform in cuba purportedly to sew and two
