welcome back chris some footage has emerged apparently showing syrian rebels killing ten unarmed prisoners as they played for their lives we have to warn you of the very graphic content of the images you are back to see one of the gunmen is head referencing the al qaida linked al nusra front responsible for several suicide attacks in the country meanwhile internet and phone access in the country has been restored offer a nationwide communications blackout lasting more than two days and the opposition wide brain the assad government for the information block a news analyst patrick henry since says it primarily benefited the u.s. backing the rebel militias we have a massive problem again with fear and we've had this problem from the beginning which is the skewing of the information coming out of the country the syrian observatory for human rights who once called for a lot of the usual bogus claims are allowed the west to sort of justify the backing of the free syrian army terrorist groups leaders of our western countries particularly nato countries or encouraging it because the syrian terror. rebels
3:33 am
guerrillas whatever you want to call them to really accelerate the bloodbath in that country because in the eyes of washington london the bigger the plugs out the quicker they can have reaching change just a report just came out this week with a supplying satellite units to rebels rebel groups terrorist groups essentially in syria so they can communicate while the internet is down to their country there was a niche initially sold in the media in places like the washington post as a move by the assad government possibly to shut down rebel communications but actually upon further investigation it looks like it's possible that actually the combination of the united states operatives and the syrian rebels could actually be behind the bringing down the internet and the reason is is because if the blood escalates in that country the last thing that the west wants is any reports coming out on the internet of actual rebel terrorist atrocities in that country atrocities
3:34 am
that we've seen quite a bit of recently. athens breathed a sigh of relief this week his german all make his supported trim increases overwhelming debt aside from releasing more cash the deal slashes interest rates delays payments and even pushes back or severity deadlines greece is not the only euro zone state imposing austerity on its people though struggling to reach a budget goals and investment advisor patrick young says the greek deal is unfair and those countries not given the same way. i think there are a considerable number of people who would like to cut greece loose at this juncture a because it's probably the most humane thing to do but second of all because ultimately the greek government has simply field to do anything that it has really been supposed to do in terms of privatization and so on many times it's enacted legislation but the field of follow through the taxation system in greece is broken
3:35 am
all of these sorts of horrible things lead us to the fact that greece is governed in a third world fashion at the moment not in a first world fashion and that ultimately is causing a huge amount of frustration with a grid many e.u. finance ministers some of them because they've got lots of money such as say germany or poland and so on some of them because they've actually taken their medicine the poor irish twenty five thousand people on the streets of dublin at the weekend complaining about the us narrative medicine they've had to dig annoyed and they're hearing that the greeks are going to get all manner of concessions in order to be allowed to get through the next hurdle and get there next be a light that's not fair it's very unreasonable of a lot of people and that's leading a huge number of politicians to be increasingly fed up with the whole greek situation. silicon valley has long been the symbol of all things high tech in the united states and third of a field and while the majority of those who helped create the digital haven are foreign on her nurse america has become increasingly reluctant to welcome the
3:36 am
talent from abroad and the inner core to never reports puts the silicon valley. fun lots of sharing helping each other even competitors will hope each other some of the biggest brands on the planet and all instantly associated whether america and surprisingly the majority were created by foreigners. jerry yang who was born in taipei surrogate britain whose parents came from russia when he was six or pierre omidyar an iranian born in paris silicon valley has thrived thanks largely to immigrants people who came here with their dreams and had the drive to make them a reality they transformed this plays into an unreliable for high tech development the birthplace of global pioneers one person who helps those outsiders to get a foot in the door is german born and how it could blend struck she says the valley moves so fast that it seems skilled foreigners spring up left frightened center
3:37 am
literally average day and there is a simple reason such success is coming their way so many of the of the indians and chinese that come in the others they make these great companies and then they hire people so they are really giving work and i think they are hungry for the words they want to succeed they're driven the valley's biggest rice came with the boom of immigrants in the ninety's that brought innovations in software and internet services the numbers speak for themselves just over half of the companies found it in silicon valley from in the ninety's to the mid two thousand had founders born abroad believe us research says there is a case to one foreign born inventor behind three quarters off after a new page and and like for many others getting impatient for a start up is what brought julia to palo alto her project is called smart wall and works is a messaging tool for those who want to avoid social networks most of the people
3:38 am
that are that i see are foreigners and also there are a lot of americans that are not from here so they're also coming it's it's not a matter of nationality here is a matter of the real skills that you have but there are some clouds on the california sky currently over half of foreign born inventiveness face visa hurdles the end. knowing economic recession has broad deep fears at home and about much needed jobs going into hands that have come from abroad making it hard for many to understand that foreigners can actually bring benefits to times when america so desperately needs them but i think that's something that white america doesn't get they don't understand why. because they don't because i think that a lot of their fears are still though they're taking our jobs the way america prides itself on being a melting pot of a country where thousands flocked for a better life but u.s. immigration policy may put an end to all that i do not question artsy but coming up
3:39 am
as promised it is our tease exclusive interview with the world's top whistleblower julian assange. in japan the average height for men is one hundred eighty two centimeters ten centimeters shorter because of that some employers refused to hire me one of them even told me directly that i was too short to deal with the clients could you just already spend three months in this hospital and plans to stay for another four to add the coveted seven santa majors to his stature invented by the famed soviet orthopedic is good for you is there a from the nine hundred fifty s. these frames were initially used to treat fractures in deformities by cutting bones and slowly pulling them up or therefore stimulating tissue regeneration it was out of was able to receive arms and legs and people who thought they were crippled for
3:40 am
life be sent to the other patients and in many cases their shattered lives with the main goal when professing designed his first brain using bicycle parts sixty years later he says invention is increasingly being used to help people quite eager to fracture their legs to become a few centimeters taller than the ultimate goal is still the same fixing somebodies lives both literally and figuratively about a third of patients admitted she was out of center now days seeking series three focus medical reasons most of them a man and most are not what you would call vertically challenged professor novick of who operated on many of them says it usually comes down to a man's pride some of the first patient to turn to us with a leg like them in a quest to meet his fifteen centimeters to be still want to surgery because panos tool than him like to say that we need to break their legs in order to fix their head maybe nothing wrong with them from an orthopedic point of view but there is
3:41 am
something psychological that prevents them from living their lives fully being happy and we fix it like lengthening surgeries a band in many countries and even the out there press. expensive in russia the entire course costs eleven thousand dollars about one tenth of the similar package in the united states financial considerations for one of the reasons that brought this washington state to western siberia his main motive for the surgery had to do with how he fared in the others in america advertised as one seventy five i was one sixty seven or one sixty eight and so one eight centimeters would have brought me right to average users wanted to be average for women height isn't so important you know i think girl can be sure it's not a big deal like your guy is like expected to be taller just before the operation most mad a russian girl who found he's a regional hide quite endearing yet he still want to have
3:42 am
a day surgery adding seven more centimeters to the self-confidence she took told me the whole time you're crazy you're normal you're perfect. so now or should i call you so what a compliment for somebody who's used to falling short of his own expectations. tonight i'm inside the ecuadorian embassy talking to judy and i saw she's been cooped up here for almost six months while he's been here though he hasn't been sitting idle he's written a new book called cypherpunks freedom and the future of the internet it's actually based on one of the shows that he made for t.v. now you're saying basically that the internet can enslave us but the internet is
3:43 am
just a thing right it's a soulless piece of equipment who was a real in slave. the people who control the interception of the internet and to some degree also physically control the big data warehouses and international fiber optic lines so we all think of the internet as some kind of tonic realm where we can throw out ideas and communications and with pagers and books and they exist somewhere out there actually they exist on web servers in new york will never be your in beijing and information comes to us through satellite connections or through fiber optic cables so who are physically controls this controls the realm of our ideas and communications and whoever is able to sit on those communications channels can intercept entire nations and that's the new game in town as far as state spying is concerned intercepting entire nations not individuals and yes this sounds like a kind of futuristic scenario but you're saying that if you just already have i
3:44 am
mean the united states national security agency has been doing this for some thirty twenty years but now it's spread to even mid-size nations even gadhafi libya was employing illegal system which is produced by french company amasis. push there in two thousand and nine advertised in its internal documentation as a nationwide interception system so so what's happened over the last ten years is. every decreasing cost of intercepting each individual now to the degree where is cheaper to intercept every individual than it is to pick particular people as possible and what's the what's the alternative this sort of utopian alternative that you would put forward that the token alternative is to try and gain independence for this for the internet to sort of clear independence versus the rest of the world and that's really quite important because if you think about what
3:45 am
is human civilization that makes it into centrally human. and civilized it is our shared knowledge that intellectual knowledge is something we're all putting on to the internet and so if we can try and decouple that from. the brute nature of states and their cronies then i think we really have hope for a global civilization if on the other hand the mere security guards you know the people who control the guns are able to take control of our intellectual life take control of all the ways in which we communicate to each other then of course you can see how dreadfully outcome will be because we're just happened to one nation it will happen to every nation at once it is happening to the nation at once as far as spying is concerned because now every nation is merging its society with internet infrastructure and in what way are we as social naïve internet users if you like
3:46 am
and i do you from that obviously but kind of willingly collaborating with these collectors of personal data you know we all have a facebook account we all have telephones which can be tracked by people think well yeah i use facebook and maybe the f.b.i. if they made a request could come and get it and everyone is much more aware of it now of course because of patrols but that's not the problem the problem is that all the time everyone nearly everything they do on the internet is permanently recorded every web search you know what you were thinking one here two days three months ago and you don't know but google knows it remembers the national security agency intercepts the request if it flowed over u.s. border it knows will be. national security agency whistleblower who was the research head of the national security agency's signals intelligence division describes this as turning a key totalitarianism that all the infrastructure has been built for absolute
3:47 am
totalitarianism it's just a matter of turning the key and actually the case has already been turned over. it and it is now affecting people who are targeted for us drone strikes organizations like wiki leaks. national security reporters who are having their sources investigated is already partly turned and you know the question is would will go all the way but has it been built really by corporations and kind of unwittingly subscribed to by people say in order to advertise products to make money or has it been built deliberately by governments for the sole purpose is to say it's it's both i mean the valence infrastructure the bokes of the infrastructure there are hundreds of companies involved in that business they have secret international conferences they have a perspective they give to the intelligence agencies that we have obtained and published this year together with privacy international the bureau of investigative journalism also the wall street journal has done some good work on this building
3:48 am
devices that they advertise to intercept entire nations to install the data from those intercepts permanently strategic interception because it's cheaper so it's a. it's a combined corporate government amalgam that's one of the problems one of the reasons it's so unaccountable is it crosses boundaries and then you also have google and facebook who started out predominately serving the public but also have developed side projects to service the u.s. intelligence committee complex and individuals are constantly pushing their thoughts into google as each thing that they want to research has pushed the e-mails and in facebook their social relationships. in under a dollar of. spied out of it facebook is completely out of from even though the worst spying nation the richness and sophistication of
3:49 am
relationships expressed and willingly contributed to was will know but not with informed consent people don't actually know when you don't quite facebook to share this to your friends. that's what it says it doesn't say share this to state agencies it doesn't say share this to friends and cronies of state agencies how has the organized how do you think to stop this these things that you're looking out well for some you know if there's political will everything is possible so if we get the political will then of course you know those agencies can be dismantled very aggressively distillation of policing can be. pushed upon them in some. regions of the world such as latin america perhaps that's a possibility there's a certain democratic tendency which ecuador is part of that might do that but in general i think the prognosis is very great and we really are at this moment where it can go one way or the other way. to a degree. i think perhaps the best that we can be sure if we work of
3:50 am
achieving is that some of us are protected it's not necessary that all of society is covered and the water side is protected what is necessary is the critical accountability components of the society that stop it going down the tubes entirely that those people are protected so those include corruption investigation is journalists activists and political parties these have got to be protected if they're not protected then it's all loss is there a way that i can protect myself without knowing a lot about compete as well a little bit but the first thing to be aware of is how much you're giving away the first way to protect yourself is going ok well i discussed that in person on the facebook chat ok i'll discuss this musing some forms of encrypted chat like t.r. on facebook that. you can down go to talk project dot org and download encrypted
3:51 am
anonymizing software it's slower than normal but for things like internet chat it's five because you're not downloading very much at once so there are ways of doing that is what is really necessary. ever for that for those to be properly developed is for there to be enough market demand it's same situation as. washing your hands that once upon a time before the bacterial theory of disease before we understood that out there invisibly was all these bacteria that is trying to cause us harm just like states mass states or violence is out there invisible and trying to cause society at large hum. no one bothered to wash their hands first process was discovery second process education third process a market demand it's created as a result of education which means that experts can start to manufacture so when people can buy and use it so this is where we're at now which is we've got to
3:52 am
create education amongst people so there can be a market demand so people others can be encouraged to produce easy to use cryptographic technology that is capable of protecting a significant not everyone but a significant number of people from mass state spying and if we're not able to protect a significant number of people from mass state spying in the basic democratic. and civilian institutions that we're used to and not not in the west i'm no gore fire of the west but you know also side he's going to crumble away they will crumble away and they will do so all at once and that's. that's an extremely dangerous phenomena it's not often where all the world goes down the tube all at once usually you have a few countries that are ok you can bootstrap civilization again from we're very close to just past the second anniversary of cable gates and since then that this
3:53 am
war on whistleblowers in this state surveillance has seemed to have got. do you think that something is largest cable kates could ever happen again and that would have a similar impact here as i play next year what's the time next year. when you go into it but hopefully earlier rather than later when the successes of wiki leaks. shouldn't be viewed merely as a demonstration of our organizations virility or the realty of the activist community on the internet. they are also a function of this hoarding of information. by these national security states the reason that there was so much information to leak the reason it could be leaked all at once is because they had hoarded so much why had they hoarded so much wealth to gain extra power through knowledge that they wanted their own knowledge
3:54 am
internally to be easily accessible to their people to be searchable so as much power could be extracted from it as possible. the you know we hear exude attempts to redress the imbalance of power by taking what's inside these very powerful institutions and giving them to. the commons people in general so we can understand how world works and stop takeover by these powerful institutions but it's a function of how much knowledge these powerful institutions have accumulated and what are you going to do jim when you said that you won't leave the excellent understand tell us drops any charges that they say any any investigation against you you just going to stay here forever well i hope that there is enough political pressure and the us government sees sense sees that it is destroying any goodwill that remains towards it as
3:55 am
a result of its persecution and investigation of wiki leaks and its associates i think it really does have to drop the investigation and you know the past six months in particular you can see the sort of. the history and. the us and eric holder. are going to end up on the wrong side of history i don't know that they want that on their record and you released a statement i think there's been reports in the media over the last day or so that you've got a long condition but you've released a statement saying that that's actually not the case to talk about how does this show knew what would potentially happen if you did have a health scare do you think that you would be able to get treatment was there my my particular personal conditions that were not very interesting obviously this circumstance in the embassy is difficult. and a long long time i suppose could be very difficult but. you know i've had
3:56 am
