i. am watching all she welcome back it enjoys a cozy relationship with the state but now the church of england is finding its special status in the u.k. and is coming under scrutiny it's alarming drop in popular its alarming drop in popularity among the public means many a question whether its funding and political privileges can be justified as a point to boycott explained. one of the most religiously diverse nations in the world with one official state religion to some it's a paradox i think any institute any faith institution like the church of england is going to have some potential threats on the horizon and those threats on the horizon are basically around its relevance to communities in general other faiths are significantly growing in not only population but the voice in

a social and political level so it's really important to have a plurality of opinion rather than just focus on one institution as being reflective of the nation yet the national church has twenty six on the elected members in the house of lords the upper house of britain's parliament and it enjoys financial privileges courtesy of the u.k. taxpayer by the church's own admission the number of people coming through the doors of this and every other church in england has harvard over the past forty years the very same report even warns that in the longer term the established religion faces fading away to virtual embellishments twenty anglican churches just like this one being closed down for worship each year entrepreneurial property developers are snapping them up and converting them to luxury housing or even light clubs while the number of church goers in the u.k. continues to fall some one hundred thousand britons have converted to islam over

the past decade three quarters of those white women as you know broaden my knowledge about islam and compared with christianity i must tell you i found it more logical you know it just resonates with me i like what the prince of wales but he wants to be if ever he becomes king he wants to be the leader of faith you know of all faiths that i think is a wonderful statement because certainly our society here in britain is very multi-core. very multi-faith so everybody should be included while other faiths enjoy popularity the church of england recent rejection of women bishops and disapproval of gay marriage has reignited the age old debate on the separation of church and state people feel alienated if they're not part of that church and so few people are because only two percent go to church on a normal sunday so that's why we must i think make sure that the church

is disestablished and the twenty six bishops that vote in the house of lords are the only country in the world to have a parliament where they have the right to do that should be extinguished britain now has one of the lowest rates of church attendance in europe there is a rule. in terms of religious opinions there is and that will grow and that future may actually become wider as time goes on and so i guess what we have today is is the church effectively being relevant to certain parts of this country despite centuries of tradition some question what will be left of the church of england in fifty years time though the statistics are very clear very clear almost disappeared with something i think the twenty fifty figures are one hundred thousand people in the pews on an average sunday out of

a population of sixty million that's miniscule but the privileges and political influence afforded to it are far from trivial and that's what's fuelling the cause of those who say that it's fairer to separate the church from the state party boy r t london. and some other international news and briefly this hour as a deal between police and the u.s. state of colorado has claimed four lives including the gunman that tucker allegedly shot three of his hostages dead before the barricaded house was stormed by law enforcement units one count of managed to escape it happened in all right which last year's saw twelve people killed and dozens injured in a cinema shooting during a movie premiere. five suspects in the rape and murder of a female student in new delhi have been linked to the victim by d.n.a. evidence the men were charged earlier this week while

tensions. what we can see is really just a return to a very old imperial strategy of building up boogey men in order to. create the sales to to combat those boogey men so it's a very old strategy it was identified by name even by president eisenhower in his farewell address in one nine hundred sixty when he talked about the military industrial complex and we here we are half a century later with the exact same strategy at play and before it was the communists then there was the terrorist threat and now there's china and that threat i think it creates a situation where the economics may be what's driving this and we give it towards asia pacific but that in turn creates geopolitical realities so that for example china now sees all of these arms sales going to korea and taiwan and japan and some of the u.s. allies in the region and they respond with a military armaments of their own so it's a kind of self-perpetuating. prophecy that fulfills itself by the economics of the

situations aging has its eye on what's happening with taiwan and the effort to retrofit the f. sixteen fleet of of taiwan but also the japanese x. ray to expand radar for example that just recently has and is being expanded and worked on i think has to be seen as a threat by china as well so i think definitely we're going to see an increase in tensions and that will probably create more situations like we saw in the past year with the sink island dispute between japan and china. more stories for you. know a diplomatic find out why the egyptian ambassador to cyprus got a little slap happy with security at the airport. as the u.s.s. enterprise space ship from star trek may soon become a reality discover how america plans to build its own colony in space to go where no man has gone this.

china has often been accused of human rights violations in tibet and the oppression of its descent distinct culture but in her attempts to counter that beijing has invested billions of dollars building schools and roads in the region. to hear how people in tibet feel towards china. dasha of the communist party of china a slogan so widespread in tibet it's even displayed on taxis here everything is an ambiguous mix of modern technology and tradition communism and religion. six his son is a buddhist monk but ten years ago this elderly man joined the communist bangalore do i knew that the party is breathing new life into our nation and the margins your

time in the capital where shops and businesses sit beneath the monasteries on the hills this is quite a normal scene for us every day believers gather in the city center to pray right outside what is traditions are very strong here but at the same time chinese national red flags are hanging almost on every fall and every building as a constant reminder which country to bat is a part of. for decades china has been accused of occupying tibet and destroying its culture human rights organizations report numerous abuses there on a daily basis some are even willing to go to the most extreme measures in broadest in almost all instances protests are put down through violence so chinese security personnel will come in and more use violence to basically stop those protests we documented cases where the chinese state news lethal force against tibetans in one

town fifteen people were shot local authorities denial of geishas of human rights violations claiming the so often malaysians are organized from abroad accusing the worst of a full scale media assault on china united states has been using tibet for. six decades now and since the truman administration co-opted to fight communism and they will continue this. because their modus operandi these days seems to be human rights violations over the years china spent over sixty billion u.s. dollars to build schools roads and water supplies as well as developing in the streets from beer factories to cultural workshops. outside the gap but all in one of tibet most ancient temples when we ask the monk what he thinks of the exile of their spiritual leader the dalai lama he surprisingly said he didn't hear. the government supplies clothes food and other

necessities not the dalai lama i couldn't care less where he was assessing tibet is not easy even on the ground it's hard to see what's true and what's being deliberately shown to foreigners but what's crucial for the next generation of tibetans is that the mix of ancient traditions and beijing's billions can pay off. spin off r.t. tibet. and human a thousand talks to william binney a u.s. national security agency whistleblower about the ways that american government is spying on its access. my guest today is william binning a whistleblower former national security agency official he was one of the first to reveal the agency's massive domestic spying program mr binney revealed that n.s.a. sought and received access to telecommunications companies the mess tic and

international billing records that it has intercepted somewhere between fifteen to twenty trillion communications mr binnie also claims that in order to cover its warrantless surveillance the agency concealed it under the patriotic sounding name terrorist surveillance program mr beaty think you so much for coming in light of the patricius slash alan scandal while the public is so focused on the details of their family drama one may argue that the real scandal in this whole story is the power the reach of this surveillance state i mean if we take general allen thousands of his personal e-mails have been sifted through private correspondence i mean it's not like any of those man was planning an attack on america does it prove does this scandal prove the notion that there is no such thing as privacy in a surveillance state. well yes that's what i've been basically saying for quite

some time is that the f.b.i. has access to the data collected which is basically the e-mails of virtually everybody in the country. and they have it at the f.b.i. has access to it all the congressional members are on on the surveillance to it's not no one's excluded they're all included so yes this can happen to to anyone if they become a target for whatever reason. if they are targeted by the government the government can go in with the f.b.i. or other agencies the government can go into their database pull all that they've collected over them on them over the years and reanalyze it also retroactively analyze everything they've done over the last ten years at least and it's not just about those who could be planning who could be a threat to national security but but also those who could be just it's everybody i thought at the end naris device simply takes in the entire line so it takes all

the data in fact they advertise to advertise that they can process the lines at session rates which means ten gigabit lines that's the nearest. not the s.t.s. sixty four hundred but the i forget the name but this is another device that they have that does that but it does it at ten gigabits to ten gigabits that's why they're building bluffdale because they have to have more storage because they can't figure out what's important so the storing everything there so that emails going to be stored there for the future but right now it's stored in different places around the country but it is being collected and is there has and f.b.i. has you know has to be to it collected in bulk without even requesting yes the providers and then what about google you know releasing that this by annual transparency report and saying that the government demand for personal data is at an all time high and for for all of those requests in the u.s.

google says they complied with the government demands ninety percent of the time but they're still saying that they're making the requests this not like it's all being funneled into into that storage what do you say to that well i would soon that that's the simply another source of the same data that they're already collecting. mark klein in his declarations in the court about the a t.n.t. facility in san francisco documented the n.s.a. room inside that ace t.n.t. facility where they had narrowest devices to collect data off the fiber optic lines inside the united states so that's kind of a powerful device that would collect everything that was being sent it could collect on the order of a hundred over one hundred billion one thousand character e-mails a day one device so that's that gives you an idea of the magnitude of the kind of collection that's going on well you're saying they sift through those are really in

so billions of e-mails i wonder how do they prioritize i mean is it like for national first what what's the how do they prioritize how do they i don't trip i don't think they're well first of all i don't think it's any filtering they're just going to store it all ok so then it's just a matter of selecting it when you want it so if they wanted to target you they would take your attributes and go into that database and pull out all your data that's what i was going to ask are they meaning my demeanor what. i should say there is no yes can you stand generally my name. do you think now that i said that they will stop looking into my me help and i don't think that would make any difference now if they had they had you on the target list you're on the list where you wanted cards and i'm sure i i i believe i've been on it for quite a few years yeah so i keep telling them everything i think of them in my e-mail so that they when they read it they'll understand what i think of them. do you think we should all likely messages that the n.s.a.

or our mailbox share mr binney you blew the whistle on the agency when george w. bush was president with president obama in office in your opinion has anything changed at the agency and just the failings program what in what direction is ricin in spending taking the program changes that's getting worse they're doing more that's why they i mean he is supporting the building of the bus still facility which is over two billion dollars they're spending on storage a lot of data so that means that they're collecting a lot more now and they need more storage for it so that that facility by my calculations that i submitted in a sworn affidavit to the court for the electronic frontier foundation lawsuit against an a say. would hold on the order of five thousand exabytes or five zeta bytes of data just at current storage capacity that's being advertised on the web that you

can buy currently and that's not talking about what they have in the near future ok so what were they going to do with all of that is ok they're storing it why should anybody anybody be concerned that well if you ever get on their enemies list like a tray assisted or for whatever reason then you can be drawn into that. surveillance do you think they were that general petraeus who was idolized by the same administration and the general allen well there's there's certainly there's certainly some questions that have to be asked like why were they targeted to begin with. what law were they breaking or what probable cause did they have in the beginning and even so general petraeus i was one would argue that ok they could have been there could have been a security breach arius something like that but with general allen i don't quite understand because that what they were looking into his private e-mails of to this

to this woman and well this is that's the whole point the whole point is what prosecutors are there is of giving and why do they i'm not sure what the internal because michael is you know that's part of the problem this government doesn't want things in the public that it's not the government a transparent government so they're whatever they're doing whatever reason they had the motive and whatever the motivation was and i'm not privy to it so i don't really know but i certainly think that there was something going on the background that made them target those fellows i mean otherwise why would they be doing it there is no crime there it seems that the public is divided between those who think that the government surveillance program violates their civil liberties and those who say i have nothing to hide so why should i care what do you say to those who think that should be concerned them the the problem is if they think they're not doing anything that's wrong they don't get to define that the central government

does they do the central government defines what is right and wrong and whether or not they target you so it's not up to the individual to even if they think they're doing something wrong if their position on something is against what the administration has then then they could easily become a target tell me about the most outrageous thing that you came across during your work at the n.s.a. well. the violations of the constitution and any number of laws that existed at the time. that that was the that was the part that i could not be associated with that's why i left there they were building social networks on who who was communicating and with whom inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody of every us citizen was being compiled over time so they're taking it from one company alone roughly three hundred twenty million records

a day that's how over time that that's probably accumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years the original program that we put together to handle this to be able to identify terrorists anywhere in the world. and alert anyone that they were and under jeopardy would have would have been able to do that by encrypting everybody's communications except those who were targets so that in essence you would protect their identities and and the information about them until you could develop probable cause and then once you showed probable cause then you could do a decrypt and target them and we could do that and isolate those people all along that was no problem at all there was no difficulty in that but it sounds very difficult and very complicated easier to take everything and then you know it's it's easier to use the graphing techniques if you will of the relationships for the

world to filter out data so you don't have to handle all that data and it doesn't it doesn't burden you with a lot more information to look at then you really want to look then you really need to solve the problem so do you think that the agency doesn't have the filter now no . you have received the callaway award for your civic courage i congratulate you for that you on the web site in a press release it says it is awarded to those who stand up for constitutional rights and american values at great risk to their personal and professional life. under the code of spy ethics i don't know if there is such a thing i assume well not your former colleagues they probably look upon you as a traitor how do you look back at them oh that's pretty easy they're violating the foundation of this entire country what our entire foundation of what how why this

entire government was formed was founded with the constitution and the rights given to the people in the country under that constitution they're in violation of that and under executive order one three five two six section one point seven governing classification you cannot classify information that just to cover up a crime which this is and that was signed by president obama also president bush signed it earlier executive orders very similar one if any of this comes in to the supreme court and they rule it unconstitutional then the entire house of cards of the government falls what are the chances of that what are the odds well the government's doing the best they can to try to keep it out of court and of course we're trying to do the best we can to get into court but we just thought it deserves a a a ruling from the supreme court ultimately the court is supposed to protect the constitution all these all these people in government take an oath to defend the

constitution and they're not living up to their oath of office thank you thank you for a main service. thank .
