market why not. why not what's really happening to the global economy with mike's culture the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. is a report. in the last seven days british free press learned it could face its toughest regulation and thirty three hundred rather years it crossed the line when caught hacking the voice mails of royalty celebrities and a murder victim. reports now in the inquiry that expose the see the relationship
3:31 pm
between the papers the police and the politicians. revelations that the british press gave them phone hacking sparked a wave of public revulsion and kicked off one of the big media scandals. years at times that threatened to engulf not just fleet street. but downing street as well as the allegations went all the way to the heart of the british government to douse the flames number ten ordered the creation of the leveson inquiry in order to investigate the claims and now two years in the making after a chorus line of celebrity witness says and millions in taxpayers' money the leveson report damning about the press and heavily critical of both the police and the government forty eight says was their cozy relationship with the media cameron has been shown to be hunt to have been actually batting for the murdoch empire as. part
3:32 pm
of all of this so you know i think that you know there needs to be a bit more of a focus on the failures of the police to actually do anything about these criminal acts lord leveson his recommendation is behind the standards of self-regulation by the press in forced by legislation and that's what critics fear could stifle the already declining newspaper industry and deal a huge blow to the freedom of the press in the u.k. is that any way in which you can be a little bit censored or a little bit monitored and most people say no with britain now in the midst of a post leveson going over it's the country's two top politicians who are likely to be the most embarrassed david cameron might be suffering from some uncomfortable flashbacks back in october the prime minister promised to support the leveson recommendations as long as they went bonkers and cut to last week i have some serious concerns and misgivings on this recommendation they break down into issues
3:33 pm
of principle practicality and but david cameron's change of heart regarding the inquiries findings would be causing him half the headache that nick clegg might be nursing at the moment the liberal democrat deputy prime minister used to talk about liberal democracy a labor previous cessna's will be will be remembered as the government who took your freedoms away we want to be remembered as the ones who gave them but not anymore here he is off to leveson published their report i have always said that i would support lord justice leveson reforms providing there proportionate and workable and i will come on to why i believe that is the case as far as the reports corporate core proposal is concerned namely a tougher system of so for glacial supported by new independent checks recognised in law recent polls suggest that over two thirds of britons have little or no faith in the newspaper industry anymore. i'm with revelations about the strong links
3:34 pm
between the police the politicians and the media it's not only trust in fleet street that's when dealing i think going through the. obviously we've been very worried about murdoch and his press for some time i think it's always gone on between should keep an eye on it and be aware of it. with opinions raging for and against new legislation it's turning into a no win situation for those in power by questioning the results of the inquiry david cameron looked to his critics like he abandoned the victims of media intrusion for some good press which is what got the government in trouble in the first place polly boy k r t london. small news a brief a small and taliban suicide bombers of attack to join us after a military base in the city of jalalabad in eastern afghanistan two vehicles packed explosives were detonated the main gate there followed by gunfire all nine of the assailants involved killed later also says at least six afghans died and several
3:35 pm
alliance troops were injured this is the largest such assault on the city since february when a suicide bomb attack claimed the lives of nine afghans. radical islamist sect has been blamed for a series of deadly attacks on churches and buildings in northeast nigeria there are conflicting reports about casualties but at least ten people are thought to have died government cars and motorbikes rampage through two villages in borno state targeting christian worship as in government buildings in what are understood to be attacks by the group. america's silicon valley got where it is today through the imagination the world's brightest brains but they didn't do it alone pioneering foreign entrepreneurs helped mold its reputation but now it would in a culture that suggest pretty strict visa rules mean they're a dying breed. puts the silicon valley fun fun lots of sharing helping each other even competitors will help each other some of the
3:36 pm
biggest brands on the planet and they'll instantly associate as with america but 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 and rainy and 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 haunt for high tech development the birthplace of global pioneers one person who helps those outsiders to get a foot in the door is to ramin born and how it could blend struck she says the valley moves so fast that it seems skilled foreigners springing up left right and center that she 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
3:37 pm
people so they are really giving work i think they're hungry for the words they want to succeed they're driven the valley's biggest fries 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 the mid ninety's to the mid to thousands had founders born and brought in the latest research says there is a case to one for him born in venta behind three quarters after a new patient and like her many others getting impatient for a start up is what brought julia to palo alto her project is called smart wall and works as a messaging tool for those who want to avoid social networks most of the people 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
3:38 pm
california sky currently over half of foreign born inventiveness face visa hurdles the end. going 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 oh they're taking our jobs away america prides itself on being a melting pot of a country where thousands flocked for a better life but u.s. immigration policy me put an end to all that i do not question artie. midnight to midnight thirty nine moscow time of waiting for you know to wait much longer i can tell you just after this break coming up rigs are these interview with the world. julie massage.
3:39 pm
3:40 pm
news today violence is once again fled up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are. the great russian warriors. prevailing over houses and asperity. to reenact an epic parade through paris. come a complete bed triumphant. with people's admiration two hundred is. all.
3:41 pm
while. california desert offers an air show and an emission museum was about to you. but the residents never profit from the performances you'll see of coming on a signature trip there when you look up and there's one check in on you he's the alpha beta gamma you with all the the final turn to treat he's letting a guy with out there know what not to get pinpoint. right now. those shelves become income mortal danger and a piece of art. stick them in base jacket in making him some pretty. old bombs. on our team.
3:42 pm
would be soon which brightened. soon from finest impression it's. nice fun stunts on t.v. don't come. tonight i'm inside the ecuadorian embassy talking to julian us all 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 cite a punk for 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 in your book that the internet can enslave us but the internet is just a thing right it's a soulless a piece of equipment who was the wheel in slavers the people who control the interception of the internet and to some degree also physically control the big
3:43 pm
dollar warehouses and international fiber optic lines so we all think of the internet as some kind of potomac rome where we can throw out ideas and communications and with pages and books and they exist somewhere out there actually they exist on web servers in new york nergal you were 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 into it and you know this sounds like a kind of futuristic scenario but you're saying that the future is already here i 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
3:44 pm
was employing the eagle system which is produced by a french company amasis. push there in two thousand and nine ties 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 that is to pick particular people to spoil what's the what's the alternative this sort of utopian alternative that you would put for it so the token alternative is to try and gain independence for this for the internet we need to clear independence versus the rest of the world and that's really quite important because if you think about what is human civilization that makes it clear to centrally human and civilized it is our shared knowledge of that
3:45 pm
intellectual knowledge and 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 and of course you can see how dreadful they are coming to the world just happened to one nation it will happen to every nation at once it is happening to every 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 as naïve internet users if you like and i exclude 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 but people think
3:46 pm
well yeah i use facebook and maybe the f.b.i. if they made a request could come in and everyone's 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 can. what you were thinking one year two days three months ago now 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 there will be a national security agency whistleblower who was the research head of the national security agency's signals intelligence division describes this as turning key totalitarianism that all the infrastructure has been built for absolute totalitarianism it's just a matter of turning the key and actually the case has already been turned a little bit and it is now affecting people who are targeted for us drone strikes
3:47 pm
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 the business they have secret international conferences they have prospectuses who they give to 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 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
3:48 pm
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. he 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 emails in facebook their social relationships. in under a dollar of. spy dog debates facebook is completely untrue of from even though the worst spying nation the richness and sophistication of relationships expressed and willingly contributed to. know but not with informed consent people don't actually know when you went on quite facebook to share this to your friends. that's what it says it doesn't say share this to state agencies it
3:49 pm
doesn't say share this to friends and cronies of state agencies how has the organized power 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 grim 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 the cheating is that some of us are protected it's not necessary that all of society is
3:50 pm
covered and the water side is protected what is necessary is the critical accountability components of the society that stop it going down the troops entirely that those people are protected so those include corruption investigators journalists activists and political parties these have got to be protected if they're not protected then it's a 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 you know the first way to protect yourself is go ok well i'll discuss that in person or i have a facebook chat ok i'll discuss this musing some forms of encrypted chat like t.r. and facebook that. you can down go to talk project dot org and download the encrypted anonymizing software it's slower than normal but for things like internet chat it's fine 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
3:51 pm
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 allows for harm. 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 create education amongst people so there can be a market demand so that people others can be encouraged to produce easy to use cryptographic technology that is capable of protecting
3:52 pm
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 tubes all at once usually you have a few countries that are ok you can bootstrap civilization again from we're very close to it we're just past the second anniversary of capel case and since then that this war on whistleblowers in this state surveillance has seemed to have got us do you think that something is largest cable kates could ever happen again and
3:53 pm
that would. of a similar impact yes yes kleenex here what's the time next year so we'll 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 for reality 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 to gain extra power through knowledge that they wanted their own knowledge internally to be easily accessible to their people to be searchable so there's much power to be extracted from it as possible. the you know we here exude
3:54 pm
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 julian you said that you won't leave the ecuadorian embassy until the us drops any charges that they say any any investigation against you you're just going to stay here forever. i hope that there is enough political pressure the u.s. government sees sense sees that it is to destroy any goodwill but remains towards it as a result of its persecution and investigation. and its associates i think it really does have to drop the investigation and you know over the past
3:55 pm
six months in particular you can see the sort of. the era of history and. the us. eric holder are going to end up on the wrong side of history i don't know that they want that on the record and you released a statement i think there have 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 but has 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 or you know my my particular personal condition is not very interesting obviously this circumstance in the embassy is difficult. and a long of a long term i suppose could be very difficult but. you know that i've had those problems to be innocent thank you very much.
3:56 pm
culture is that so much about the taxpayers' money maintaining ization is a lot of people and hearing within every third world media is fond of the dramatic from water wars when it comes to describing the future management of global water resources. it are sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. the gold fever. turns thousands into slaves. my father but also among brother involved in the monsoon and since i started working at the moment i stay
3:57 pm
