elating privacy and mining people's personal data is easier than ever up next artie's marina park not a grilles the head of a worldwide investigative agency about the damage twenty four hour surveillance could do to society and its freedoms. r t is sitting down with stephen rom bomb founder and c.e.o. of a worldwide investigative agency steve thank you very much for sitting down to speak with r.t. today my pleasure for more than a decade you've been warning the mass public or at least informing them that privacy is dead get over it and in that time people have consciously been putting more and more information about themselves online what do you think this has done to contribute to your message of privacy being dead well the truth is people care less and less about privacy or at least they act as if they do the greatest amount

of data that's being compiled each of us that i self contributed. your location your likes your dislikes your religion your sexual orientation. how you vote where you live who your friends are who your family is what music you listen to what books you read. all sorts of things that frankly are a window into your soul all of these things are so contributing i can go to your facebook page. obtain information equivalent to what people would pay a private investigator ten thousand dollars a few years ago to go out and gather you have consensually put it up there for the whole world. and that includes of course the holy grail of investigation which is location and photos you are constantly reporting your location you're constantly

posting photos how do you manage your own social network profiles you have any i do and i post just often enough to let people know that i'm alive. possibly once a month and i'm very careful that i keep location aware programs turned off so it doesn't report where i physically am at that moment and i don't reports what i'm doing or or who i'm with or things like that in an interview with r t julian assange which stated that u.s. based social networks provide information to a secret service if they request it could that be true it's more than true and it's not just it's not just social networking sites first of all they don't need to provide anything it's right there the secret service certainly which specializes in computer crime computer activities is certainly smart enough to have one of their

tech services people go online and look it up on your facebook page or your twitter feed or your you tube feed or whatever. i don't think that the secret service needs the permission of these sites but in fact all of these sites do cooperate with law enforcement and i think they should and it's not just social networking sites google is is so intimately and mesh with the u.s. government and i'm not just talking about. i hate to use this word i was going to say but nine. parts of the u.s. government that sort of implies that there are not are not and that's not what i mean to say but google in fact does several a ship with the cia google has a very close relationship with the n.s.a. google has a back door that they make available to the secret service and to the f.b.i. i'm not saying this is a bad thing but it is something that that people should be aware of who are your

major clients we do do work for law enforcement but primarily we do work for law firms insurance companies. people who are victims of sophisticated financial frauds we do quite a lot of work involving what's called fraudulent death claims people who fake their deaths or try to disappear we specialize in locating missing persons do you care who they can use or of your information as absolutely it is so i will not provide information or access to the databases that we offer to anyone but law enforcement or licensed private investigators and why is it that you want. people to know about this that their privacy is going away why you telling them all this well i know it's kind of counterintuitive you think that as a private investigator as the owner of an investigative agency i'd be delighted by

this and i am and i am i take great advantage of this and all the people who post their photos and their whereabouts and their families and their friends you know thank you very much and i appreciate it me talking about it is not going to stop these people who are going to motor ahead and continue doing it i just think it's it's. in certain respects on america for. companies like google and facebook to be aggregating all of this data on each of us without people really being aware of the ramifications you know it's not that. you have a facebook page it's that yesterday you posted what books you like to read a week before that you posted that you were a democrat a week before that you posted your religion a week before that you posted that you were coming out of the closet

a week before that you posted your parents' names it's not one thing by itself it's that facebook google my space the cell phone companies especially they gather this bit by bit by bit by bit and before you know it they've got your entire life on disc you know it's the it's the constant addition of everything and there's some some real sneaky stuff going on out there you know there's a reason why facebook is is so valuable you are defined by who your friends are that's what facebook is all about people friending you. most of your friends are going to be people like you they're going to be people who speak the same language read the same books have the same politics follow the same religion or follow no religion at all and if i see who your friends are i know who you are. and i can

sell you things i can say well she's friends with fifteen people who buy donald was like books i need to sell her donald was like i'll tell you the biggest the biggest privacy invader of all. it's your cell phone this has changed everything if you think about. the cell phone you'll understand that this is the greatest invasion of privacy ever first of all it tells me where you are at every minute of the day it tells me who your friends are it tells me who's important to you it tells me where you work it tells me where you live it tells me where you eat it tells me everything that i need to know about you imagine that i am moammar gadhafi and i want to know who's been participating in the most recent

demonstration against. all i have to do is check and see who so phones were in the square where the demonstration was it's really that simple i can tell you that right now today u.s. law enforcement is making charts of mafia families without doing any surveillance they know that this guy and this guy and this guy spent two hours together in this bar then this guy went here and reported to this guy this guy went here and did something else by following cell phones by following e-mail by following all the communications on a smart phone. your entire life is open interesting that you bring out moammar gadhafi would you be able to pin down where apparently duffy is i don't know what information is available but i find it very very hard to believe that he is not

already pretty much located say think he is located based on everything you're saying how easy it is look there's qaddafi is a nut but he's a very clever nut and he's a nut that's managed to survive for forty five years and i'm sure he took note of how osama bin laden was captured and i'm sure he took note of how saddam hussein was captured. and i'm sure he's avoiding those mistakes but he will make a new mistake you know that the beauty of being someone who hunts for people is you can make all the mistakes you want you can miss the guy here you can get a false lead there but if the guy you're chasing makes one mistake. for. whole case so the u.s. government and the british s.a.'s and maybe the french and whoever else has people peeking around in libya right now or probably algeria. you know they're they're

missing i'm here missing them they're dry hole here dry hole they're within thirty days they'll have well be the consequence of this all around you succession i know everyone has this this orwellian image of what's going on with the internet that they it's always they they never say who they is but they are gathering information on us and the average person assumes that it's the government in fact it's not it's private industry that's gathering information on you and they're doing it for one simple reason up because they want to invade your privacy or it's some salacious interest or you know they want to spy on you on behalf of someone it's because your eyeballs are worth money they want to find out as much as they can about you so they can sell you stuff this is pure naked capitalism you've worked a lot on the issue of fighting terrorism can modern information technologies and social networks turn into instruments and that's why you know this is one of the

few good arguments for the invasion of privacy that's going on is the is the tradeoff between privacy and safety and unfortunately there is a trade off if you're going to find out who the bad guys are you have to gather information on everybody you have to be able to say this one's ok this one's ok this one we need to look at a little more the fact of the matter is that if there had been database analysis and proper use of databases nine eleven would have never happened. two of the hijackers were known to the cia they were on a cia watch list every single one of the other seventeen hijackers was linked in some way to those two known and i jackers five of them shared an address three of them shared a frequent flyer number two or three of them shared a telephone number some of them use the same credit card there's no question that

that first of all had the cia and the f.b.i. been talking to each other and had proper use of databases been made all of these people would have been swept up no question about it for good at the end right there steve thank you very much for your time thank you. decades back in time one thousand miles from the north pole. the team is taking you on a trip to spitzbergen on capella go. where twenty years after the u.s.s.r. collapsed between life is still going strong. for the world's northernmost statue of lenin presides over and goes. to sleep it. has become

meadows where he too often. final with an impressive run this season having comparatively lost just once to roger federer. as the fairytale season means in and explained his recent success came with improvement. it was a learning process from the last couple of years of playing and. competing with the best tennis players and played many matches against rafa and roger and most of these matches i was losing you know especially in the major events where i could not find my game and every time i would come to the semifinals of files i just could not make the final step and i was feeling to perform my best but it has changed and i think over the years you just get the experience you know you know how to use on the court i'm a different player believe in my game much more before. and another champion on american soil martin car meanwhile has returned to the place where he coached his

cellmate a year ago. taking to the greens at whistling straits climber taking part in an exhibit in tournaments against three amateur players who were chosen from over five thousand applicants an emotional day for the former world number one and a bit of a. german eventually carded exactly the same round of two under par seventy with which he won here last year. and to come back. memories especially when i came. back from. course you know playing ten seventeen eighteen. holes a few times and success in the form of the want title could be wrapped up during the next race in singapore so boston to sell aiming to become the youngest back to back winner in the sport's history but the german isn't counting on popping the champagne cork just yet. a very strong position which i think we deserve to be in

because we've been working very hard with very few mistakes so we'll see i don't really think about the points and the caps and the possibilities next race as long as we come out with a bigger lead after the next race than i think we have done a good job now back to football and total of twenty four girls found that during the latest action in the russian prime a league now game and that goal is sound three featured four goals or more and if you missed any of those efforts here is goals goal or. it'll.
