a city in russia's southern republic of dagestan it's believed a suicide bomber blew himself up at a row checkpoint while being searched by security officials the police presence has been stepped up in the region with authorities looking for those behind that attack all the calls going to and from the city of her savior being tracked police say the funds they stopped as suspects vehicle is likely to have prevented it even greater tragedy they didn't happen just a week after russia's special services killed the last remaining terrorist involved in the twenty ten bombing of the moscow metro that left for today and of course we'll bring you more of this story as we get it. the 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 with a program only using data submitted voluntarily via social networks their stories emerge unscathed when it comes to claims of privacy violations. 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 be able to 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 charts maps showing who you've communicated with most online your associations and relationships places where you check in most you know over twenty five million people 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 tootin longitude details automatically
12:03 am
embedded in them so this ride 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 mass imitation of spying software expert who had worked for the national security agency for decades and who told us that the government is spying on people on a much larger scale and building social networks is part of it take a listen they were building social networks. who who is communicating and with whom inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody there are u.s. citizen was being compiled. over time so they're taking from one company alone or
12:04 am
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 that this story had been originally hashed happened because really media but they would have reportedly coming from the very top columnist and senior correspondent for israel's ha'aretz newspaper i mean oren 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 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
12:06 am
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 these really 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 all the gamblers robin who'd illegal product since she's tiny twin island state reaches for millions of dollars worth of american called writing material. also later millions of britons are struggling to pay their bills and afford basic necessities with the country's living standards as

12:08 am
a fifty year old jobless man had done the same and this is a worrying sign for france for a country that has seen its unemployment rising for the past twenty months and this after a president had been elected on a campaign of jobs and growth so we haven't seen any improvements on this front so a lot has declared twenty thirteen as a battle for jobs he said that by the end of the year there would be he would be creating jobs for the french people however statistics show that by midyear the number is set to rise and let's not forget that more than three million french people this number does not include people who have quit the unemployment program because they simply have exhausted all their benefits similar to the case of the man who had just burned himself and also those young people who had never registered or those who were in part time jobs if we look at the trend we've seen a lot of suicides and attempted suicides in countries like greece one of the hardest hit eurozone countries because of this eurozone crisis there's a general feeling of a still be in the country a lot of people going out in protest we've also heard of stories of suicides in

a lot of caribbean countries that obviously you know as well i should say we're sometimes a stepping stone ahead of a lot of other casinos but an even more powerful money maker here a mere decade ago was the online gaming business we once had a thriving. internet gaming industry that employed over four thousand people and that industry has gone juta actions of the united states legally licensed internet gambling companies provided jobs for five percent of the locals and rocketed in over three billion dollars annually but with americans as the key players u.s. officials weren't happy and bad offshore gaming even though the industry was completely legal in america sees another rest of the world catches the cold. from thousands of jobs and tremendous cash inflow to an industry crumbled and those who make it up treated as criminals they were prosecution of persons who had companies operating companies and until you go on these for us and some of them were indicted
