u.s. government is stepping up efforts to spy on its citizens with a new defense software able to predict people's future behavior and locations however would the program only using data submitted voluntarily via social networks though so he's emerged unscathed when it comes to claims of privacy violations and she's going to check on her husband. those of you who are using social networks will find this interesting the world's fifth largest defense contractor raytheon a multinational firm based in massachusetts came up with a software that can map out your life and even predict your moves your behavior based on the information that you provide on websites like facebook twitter or foursquare the guardian has obtained a video. where a raytheon staffer explains and shows how it works the program is called someone already branded it for spice just a few clicks and it creates diagrams chart maps showing who you've communicated
12:03 am
with most online your associations and relationships places where you check in most you know over twenty five million people who use this app called foursquare to alert friends of their whereabouts so the program uses that and also the photos that people take on smartphones often have led to today and longitude details automatically embedded in them so this riot program at a quick or two can analyze all that data and as the gentleman in the video claims it can roughly predict where to find you at a given time and potentially your behavior based on your interests so this firm that developed the software a major defense contractor has acknowledged that the technology was shared with the u.s. government as part of a joint research and development effort to help build the national security system capable of analyzing quote unquote trillions of entities from cyberspace that reminds me of the conversation that i had with william binney a mathematician aspiring software expert who had worked for the national security agency for decades and who told us that the government is spying on people on
12:04 am
a much larger scale and that building social networks is part of it take a listen they were building social networks. who who's communicating and with whom inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody there were you a 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 over time that that's probably cumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years mr binney blew the whistle on this n.s.a. program saying it is a blatant violation of the constitution but with this riot software one can argue that they can see information that individuals have already chosen to make public they put it out there and most people know that privacy safeguards that for example facebook provides don't hold water really and yet people truth to share so if you don't want someone to be able to map out your entire life and to be able to potentially predict your behavior stop checking in everywhere and turn off location

services on your phone or maybe you don't want that in that case no worries. the israeli government has been forced to admit about the death of a man in custody dubbed prisoner x. who has links to the country's secret service the admission follows a report in the australian press which revealed and now been manhunt himself in prison after months of being held in secret of it two years ago the story had been originally hashed happened because rainey media but they want to reportedly coming from the very top columnist and senior correspondent for israel's ha'aretz newspaper and me or in asking titration is a source of embarrassment to the country. on one level it's an espionage story and mystery regarding the foreign intelligence service mossad and the tragic. circumstances under which one of its operatives apparently found his death on another level it's government versus press story and the press here has
12:06 am
been struggling against various government agencies and gradually has been able to leave at least some of the secrecy surrounding this story there was a gag order here apparently and the for this was the case and one cannot confirm it independently from israel but again embarrassing as it is one has to rely on foreign sources if that is true and a gag order was signed by a judge then one would have been subject to prosecution if one were to violate it so apparently even though the israeli press is far from being lazy for the last two years it has waited passively for someone abroad in this case australia to break the story. on the way for you this hour pirates of the caribbean

12:14 am
it's going to get was that's the reality facing some ten million brits living on middle incomes economists at the think tank the resolution foundation have issued a landmark report with a stark warning to the government they've got to tackle low wages or face economic stagnation for generations to come the report claims that for too many households their money no longer stretches to the bare essentials because of falling wages and rising inflation and buying a house is becoming a fantasy for too many britons already millions of citizens in the u.k. struggle to pay their monthly bills have no savings in the bank and can no longer afford a family holiday so what we're seeing at the moment is the squeeze on living standards which is affecting households throughout the entire income distribution and that's mainly a result of the recession and austerity policies but actually for
