of the case has already sparked many questions about internet freedom they found a has started a new service but we'll see how how long it's going to last. spoke to the man known as kin dot com about why he's being hounded across the globe. here's a guy who grew up on the internet was a guy who made millions off the internet and here's a guy who designed mega upload at one site one of the most popular websites in the entire world with over one hundred million users is in the top five most trafficked websites and you know that's kind of why the f.b.i. wanted to shut it down i'm not. as my hero he was selfless he is completely the opposite of me but i'm a businessman i'm driven by the success of achieving something in the business world ok that's not a crime there's nothing wrong with that big raid on the mega mansion the dot com mansion happened january twentieth two thousand and twelve it was the middle of the night ken was at his guest house on this how the mansion all of

a sudden the authorities the local police showed up on helicopters came into his house with guns drawn arrested him arrested his colleagues hauled him off to prison froze his assets shut down his website essentially they put his entire life on hold and caused him to kind of take this new stance in terms of what he thinks of the internet particularly what he thinks about the current state of privacy and surveillance of the government is quite exposed here because they really went in was completely the prosecutorial abuse and overreach and ignoring due process ignoring our rights spying on us illegal search warrants illegal restraining orders illegal spying and i mean the whole picture when you look at it shows that this was an urgent mission done in a rush to take them down i want them to go and it was a political decision to do that kim dotcom is still waiting

a eventual extradition hearing to the u.s. at this point though it seems like every single passing day the justice department's case against him just crumbles more and more and more so sooner or later the u.s. government is going to have to prove that kim dotcom is worthy of the extra us and at that point if he's convicted expend decades in prison but the opinion that i got from him and from his legal team is that that's not going to happen anytime soon. and you can see the full interview with came dot com next hour here nancy in our democracy is breaking this set. the worst you are the only white house you're going to. call. it what you want to have you never seen anything like that.

no no no no cherry picking and no euro but i can't say your leaders were quick to dismiss david cameron's ideas for a reformed union britain would be happy to stay in and learn marx petri box their national referendum on membership but only after brussels agrees to some major changes france said it will roll out the red carpet if the u.k. wants to go and poll and not tell and their people the u.k. independence party says there's no way britain will get any special fate the point is that really go she asian is going to be nigh on impossible we've had the home of under-employed the president of the european council you've had georgia manuel but also you've had a shawl tuesday president of the european parliament you've had a good prime minister the list can go on of all of these people who are saying that britain cannot cherry pick this is an attempt by cameron to kick this issue into the long grass we're talking about a referendum five years down the loan and it's all dependent on whether he wins the

next general election or not and we know that if you look at the polls today it's showing quite clearly that chemical struggled to win the election so i do think that this is an attempt to get into the long grass and quite frankly this man has lived before on referendums he gave the task they got and see that we were out we would have a vote at friends and on our membership of lisbon he went back on that referendum pledge so i don't think you can be trusted on this issue. and in his speech david cameron admitted he personally wants a great into stay in the club as he struggled to please both he's e.u. partners and the euro skeptics at home and these part of the tremendous disadvantage is probably u.k. probably the union but the n.e.p. even will that's simply not true they said that we would be in huge problems if we came out of the already they said that business would not actually invest in the u.k. unless we join the euro this isn't going to happen and we're not going to believe

the false promises and the false concerns that european politicians and big businesses are actually going to throw as i mean there's an unholy alliance that seems to be forming between old conservatives with large corporations with members of the labor party who will want to frighten the people of this country to say that they can't survive on their own but we're still the six largest trading nation in the world so yes the public in this country know that there is a problem out there they understand the arguments and they're not going to be fooled this time by a political elite. this is still ahead for you this hour on the really positive. claims victory in the parliamentary elections but stay close result means the coalition talks lie ahead. and uncertainty over the health of chop it seems thousands of voicing their concerns on the streets of venezuela on her show break else he speaks exclusively with the vice president about why there's no need to play make.

heard secretary of state acknowledge that the revolutions in that we can have led to the spread of extremism on the revolutions she said it's a great opportunity for the united states but also a great threat to the u.s. certainly seize the opportunity when they made the revolution in libya happening because it was mostly due to the u.s. firepower that the rebels there were able to take over hillary clinton cheered when that happened and generally up until the tragic attack in benghazi in september in the murder of the u.s. ambassador the obama administration had libya checked as a foreign policy success what's happening in the region now of course looks anything but success we actually heard that in hillary clinton's testimony as she talked about the spread of extremism and the spread of weapons in the region and the new opening in the war on terror bengazi did not happen in a vacuum the arab revolutions have scrambled power dynamics and shattered security forces across the region instability in mali has created an expanding safe haven

for terrorists who look to extend their influence and plot further attacks of the kind we saw just last week in algeria hillary clinton also spoke about how the u.s. needs to help the governments in the region to deal with their security to build their institutions and all of this in the context of this expanding war on terror so to anyone who expected a smaller u.s. footprint in the region that's probably not going to happen from what we heard today if anything one could expect a bigger u.s. footprint in the region. in her testimony hillary clinton confirmed the terrorists behind the recent deadly hostage taking in algeria got their weapons from libya that time course stage in response to france's intervention in mali and that operation is backed by washington which is helping to transport french troops and equipment and independent political analyst downplays for it believes its western intervention in libya that led to the insurgency in mali in the first place. in mali is

a direct result of the arming of of rebels and gadhafi in libya. as well as the fall of gadhafi get out he was a key player in negotiating peace deals the last peace deal in northern mali. was negotiated into does known by mediated by guess you get after so he was the linchpin of a lot of the security system in north africa plus the arming of the americans plus the looting and get out of his own. weaponry by the rebel forces that's was created this instability that's again this is not completely just this is not unforeseen consequences there may be stupidity impurities but they're not completely blind to the results of their actions jordanian islam is who boycotted wednesday's election playing the vote was rigged and its results will undermine the future part of its credibility the government however hail to the poor as a gradual step towards democracy in a motorcade that seen a wave of prowess has spurred by the arab spring confident has moved from the

capital for us. many here say that the reforms simply are too few and too late now there have been some efforts for example to make the elections more open this is the first time that outside election monitors are going to be observing the vote here but at the end of the day the new parliament just still not going to be able to pass legislation freely and can be dismissed at any time by a royal decree now the biggest source of discontent here is the new election law which critics claim is a rigged in favor of pro-government candidates by allowing favoring in fact a larger number of rural tribal representatives who are largely seen as being loyal to the government in fact of the one hundred fifty seats available in this parliament only twenty seven can go to candidates from national parties and the muslim brotherhood is the largest most popular and the biggest political party here in jordan and has really been the driving force behind the boycott of this vote and

the opposition but of course discontent isn't just limited to the islamists many regular jordanians here feel that corruption has continued to be rampant and are quite frustrated with the economic situation in this country and that is why we see a lot of voter apathy it really is a major test of whether these small incremental changes by the monarchy are going to be enough to placate the opposition from the people who we've talked to in fact leadership of the muslim brotherhood says that it simply won't go enough in fact this election is frankly only the opening salvo in what is likely to be many months of unrest here in jordan because the new parliament is likely to be seen as being toothless by much of the population that's going to set up a very difficult future of four four four four jordanians who feel like their interests are not being represented by the government they want more representation they want more freedom and they want to warn of a say in the future that their country takes they don't necessarily feel that the

steps taken by the government so far. are enough to provoke that more importantly the economic situation is really going to be the determining in whether the arab spring essentially really unfolds here in jordan much of the rest has been caused by for example cuts in food and fuel subsidies and those are only likely to increase given jordan's. extreme austerity measures that are being imposed by the i.m.f. at the moment so it really doesn't look like things are going to be calming down anytime soon and lucy is of course following a bounce and jordan for a result so you had to be. posting updates from on her twitter feed and you can always get the latest absolute seek comfort know. so latin america now where thousands of venezuelans flooded the streets of the capital to not call tomorrow as the anniversary of the country's democracy they're cation was used by both supporters and opponents of president hugo chavez to voice
