4:16 am
reporting stories were to answer james has now been accused of trying to mislead british m.p.'s working after saying he was unaware of the true extent of phone hacking by reporters prime minister david cameron led the calls for him to answer further questions after he was challenged the murdoch's could now face legal challenges in the u.s. over claims the voice mails of nine eleven victims were also targeted meanwhile britain's hacking scandal appears to be spreading beyond murdoch's newspapers with claims the sunday mirror tabloid also infiltrated the voice messages of celebrities but as artie's garnished account reports critics believe the issue is just the tip of the iceberg in a society that no longer values the privacy of the people. as the scandal over phone hacking by the murdoch media empire rages on public and political theory has mainly focused on ruthless tabloids out of control prepared to invade people's parted lives and even the dad to get the story but some say in this then age the
4:17 am
whole concept of privacy is falling apart and in the u. last more rapidly than elsewhere every time you tap on your cell or click on google or use your mail service everybody's sort of just clicks through that you agree to our terms and conditions while those terms and conditions are very very heavily weighted against you and your privacy interests and we see you breaches of privacy happening. all across america all across the world really in every sector surveillance is rampant but really this is all a microcosm. surveyor of all which is the state there's little americans can do with the state having sweeping access to their private information access that followed the. nine eleven terrorist attacks under a new law known as the patriot act hassani law his privacy was taken away from him in two thousand and two when he was detained by the f.b.i. for absolutely no reason he says and scrutinized for months without charge he's
4:18 am
response for nine years he has voluntarily documented nearly every waking hour of his life on the where he has subsequently even turned it into a form of art sealed the toilet i've used so you know that over here for example you know that on sunday november twenty fourth two thousand and seven i've used this term of i would grocery shopping at safeway over there on october seventeenth i got to pass over here he posts copies of every debit card transaction so you can see what he bought where and when a g.p.s. device in his pocket reports his realtime physical location on a map and this is the shot he took on his way to our studio which was immediately out floated on his web site hassan says his extraordinary abandonment of his own privacy stems from the ignorance of the authorities but in the fear they decided well that guy looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives everyone knows that that's
4:19 am
a logical operation we we realize how ridiculous that logic sounds but when your country and your own country takes that on as the basis for national policy. ignorance as the basis of national policy it's a pretty scary situation. and that's how i got caught up with it for ha son privacy has become a rally of the past and he says he's not surprised that journalists or anyone else really would use the same surveillance tactics as the state in that sense it might be of no surprise that the chief architect of the putrid act the lawyer who put it together happens to be one of murdoch's hand-picked mused for board directors victim served as assistant attorney general in the bush administration and was described by some as the purveyor of the most sweeping curtailment of freedom in the u.s. system across the era at a time when corporations and the government can easily hack into people's private lives it doesn't come as a surprise when for example social networks give your personal information to ask
4:20 am
companies or when other industries leave on breaching people piracy in the u.s. it's so widespread and people have gotten so used to it that rupert murdoch seems to be perfect part of the system rather than some special bill and with corporation has been undertaking some unique all lawful practices because here in america they're not so unique i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. came about the editor of the in a pair of news website says the public's trust has been seriously undermined by the phone hacking scandal. to find out that certain officers had been on the payroll of these organizations and providing details to the journalists who were involved in a scandal that in itself is quite a disgrace and it does raise the question of who is properly qualified to to look into this into to form a proper investigation certainly not to the police itself investigating itself that
4:21 am
would be ridiculous at this point and the idea again of a parliamentary inquiry it has to be at least seen to be completely free of ties to the prime minister's office certainly and to any other m.p.'s and we have been implicated in the scandal so it's going to be an incredible mess unfortunately for the british people to be sorting through right now and i think trust in the public institutions has been necessarily eroded by this appalling disgraceful conduct on the part of so many different people in whom the public has invested so much trust . divers have recover the bodies of three women from a pleasure cruiser that sank two weeks ago in russia's republic of tatarstan bringing the death toll to one hundred seventeen the country's worst river disaster in years happened on the volga when a boat with over two hundred on board went down in minutes emergency crews are now preparing to seal the bulgaria after it was towed to shallow waters the task now is to pump water from the sunken hope to make the red light enough to lift so the ship
4:22 am
can be examined to determine what caused the wreckage the boat's owner is under investigation and two people have already been charged with violating safety regulations. we follow the recovery operation of the bulgaria ship online as well go to our website to get the latest updates videos and blog entries could follow the all the details of the tragic events from the moments the cruise a run down to the latest salvage operation. also iran's media's denying reports a man shot down into iran was one of the country's nuclear scientists and asserts that he was a student who just happened to share the name of a known this is. and on this day over sixty years ago the u.s. revealed through the use of sorry that i had a weapon of devastating power the atomic bomb the leader of the common catalyst for the cold war.

4:26 am
that itself is now crumbling and he's armed attacks these assassination attempts are designed to create panic and i think in all likelihood they are creating panic within the very heart the foundation of the karzai government the u.s. is losing grow steadily its spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury but it's already drained based on huge budget deficits here the number of casualties on the afghan and american side is is is increasing not decreasing and yet they're no closer to victory in fact they're losing control of the country and the government that they sponsor is is in fact in danger of crime wave i would say the us hasn't gained anything i think the us is losing ground it's spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration say this is a bad situation possibly a catastrophe for the united states the u.s. has been carrying out a man's drone strikes in pakistan for years but now one of the masterminds of the taxes in crosshairs former cia official john rizzo faces
