12:02 pm
just going to see more deterioration of the social situation in greece we are trapped inside it's a vicious circle on was staring. and recession and there's and with the karen pollitz is there is no way out and i think that this image of stability projected by the european union or of the i.m.f. in the sense that ok greece is doing well it's it's it's not real in reality the euro zone has is it's officially in a recession. that the debt crisis is not going to be resolved through austerity measures they're projecting that we we will reach the levels of dates that we had when they announced that we were not very serious and dramatic debt situation so what's there's nothing positive no positive signs. meanwhile some of been driven

to increasingly desperate measures due to the ongoing crisis across the continent and frenchman committed suicide by setting himself on find a job center in the city of months the forty three year old had been refused unemployment benefits in a country which is suffering its highest jobless rate for thirteen years what he says a city or has the details. it said it reports that he had actually set a letter to some journalists saying that he was going to do this this week so the police had said that they had set of surveillance outside that employment agency but they didn't manage to see him he was already on fire they said he had entered through a side street and therefore this tragedy had happened now the man did this after finding out that he is no longer eligible for those unemployment benefits and this is not the first time it has happened in france in august we know that 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
12:04 pm
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 him self and also those young people who had never registered or those who are 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 euro zone countries because of this eurozone crisis there's a general feeling of a still in the country a lot of people going out in protest we've also heard of stories of suicides in italy another hard hit country so if we're looking at the trend that's happening in europe we hope it does not continue but we could see a lot more expressions of dissatisfaction. the pentagon more troops fighting us
12:05 pm
wars from afar firmly in the spotlight defense secretary leon panetta has announced the creation of a distinguished warfare medal it will be handed out to joystick wielding drone pilots you wage the battles without setting foot in combat zones earlier. explain to my colleague what it takes to get the award. so your signature you have a joystick and you point click and they get an award essentially that's all it takes to get it to get a medal which is supposed to rank higher than the bronze medal which is given out to people who actually perform combat duty but according to the pentagon criteria i'm going to cite it here it will be recognizing a single act that directly affects the combat operation does not involve an act of valor and warrants that award higher than the bronze medal so instead of having to go to the front line and risk the extreme bloody violence there you can just sit in your recliner with a joystick and maybe
12:06 pm
a couple to know for example and just wage war from about a thousand miles away. perhaps there is a there perhaps there's a basic knowledge of the territory somewhere in the border between afghanistan and pakistan that's involved but let's compare it just sitting around basically just sitting at a base to doing something like something that was done by sergeant william stacey in two thousand and eleven he received a bronze medal a bronze a bronze star which is considered to rank below the medal that we're talking about now what he did was receiving fire along with his squad from ten or twelve and we fighters from five separate fighting positions though outnumbered stacy in his squad held back numerous flanking attempts and accurate enemy grenades and large caliber fire was hailed for unquestionably saving the lives of his marines this is a citation from his award so you and he actually died in combat in january of two thousand and eleven so again this man apparently did a lot less than what a person sitting at an army base and pointing
12:07 pm
a mouse and clicking on their territory somewhere in the middle east is superstores a bronze stars which as you say you know. the men awarded with those must have been praised for some very heroic deeds. you're talking about here yes the sergeant that was in question was actually doing something on the ground right now we're talking about drone strikes we're talking about. out very questionable by a lot of institutions specially human rights organizations that practice of protecting the united states and the world from terrorism as the pentagon the you know you don't own drone strikes. strikes where they target someone via satellite and via this brilliant camera on the drone they never hit civilians they only hit militants right that is the official version but they even had they had to change that which was which they have been rigged by them i mean the american officials the pentagon officials they stuck by that rhetoric for years until i think roughly two thousand and six when they had to acknowledge that yes indeed at least at the
12:08 pm
best half of the people who are being killed by the drone strikes are actually innocent bystanders in fact there has been a research done by various universities there was a study from from the new york university school of law as well as stanford university law school and they have said that roughly all out of those killed only two percent are actually high importance targets that is those are the only two percent of people who are being killed are known terrorists ninety eight percent happen to be whoever it is very very disturbing numbers numbers are disturbing and i'm like to go back and remind you that now people who are doing this and who are basically responsible for it are going to be awarded a medal that is going to bring higher than somebody who actually laid down his life in the line of duty. well there are no words for cyber spying in the u.s. just yet but big brother is still watching. the largest defense

12:12 pm
12:13 pm
a british hospital there are still no signs of action the family and friends of hundreds of patients who died due to neglect according to a criminal action to be taken against those responsible for the former chief of another hospital says he was paid hall for a million pounds not to talk about a similar situation elsewhere. has been following the scandal. but in the latest twist we've seen an n.h.s. whistleblower come out and say that he was forced to quit after he'd raise concerns about issues that he said endangered patient safety but this latest revelation comes on the back of the francis report that we saw last week now that was looking into the scandal that happened at mit stuff which hospital where it's thought more than a thousand patients could have died between two thousand and five and two thousand and eight as a result of inhumane and degrading treatment war and food stuffs a hospital in september of two cents to date is just
12:14 pm
a disaster people you know to be. honest they're looking for one of. those that was left and you're really. going to believe the shoes on the floor we've been there to break the story you feel absolutely describe to be still. in the home to stand still and see. the sheet to go through what she went through the n.h.s. whistleblower he says that he was confronted with many of the same decisions and concerns that were raised at mit started to hospital now he was the head of one of the hospitals a united lincolnshire hospital he was facing many of the same problems he claims that government targets but he refused to meet the fear that it would endanger patient safety meant that he then had to quit and was subject to a so-called secret gag to keep him quiet the whistleblower has spoken out gary walker talked of a culture of fear and oppression and certainly it seems that
12:15 pm
a lot of these problems have been going on i think many many years now i'm joined by the head one of the members of the n.h.s. a political party new york political party that's been formed people within the health care profession and they're all very concerned about what's happening. in the n.h.s. right now when the mid staffordshire scandal was revealed very much the rhetoric from the government was that this was an exceptional case that this was it not a one of it was particularly bad and yet we're seeing one of the hospitals being investigated and it seems that nothing shocks just keep on coming isa price that this no not surprise of this wild stuff the trip was particularly bad there i've always been in the n.h.s. while most of the care has been fantastic over the years in such a complicated organization and such a large organization there will be such incidents and there have been for many years the real problem is that the n.h.s.
12:16 pm
and the government do not seem to be able to learn from the old inquiries that have been from thirty years ago the hospital advisory service would report and i think the same things are still going on now because said the chief executive of the n.h.s. david nicholson to resign have so far been resisted he says that he has nothing to be as saying the of and that during his time providing this is down to systematic failures so of course the people who are campaigning have been calling very hard for his resignation and say by he has resisted that. we also keep you updated online with more stories and videos at our dot com in addition to what you see here on screen here's what's waiting for you at the moment. real torture doesn't mean just physical pain find out in our tease website how arabic prisoners at guantanamo were driven out of their minds by the constant

playing of heavy metal. canadian forces allegedly use their power against those they're meant to protect investigation claims some missing and abused indigenous girls and women were raped by mounted police more on that story on our website. a teenager has reportedly been killed in clashes between police and protesters in bahrain like libya the gulf state is marking two years since the start of its own uprising the demonstrators say their demands to end discrimination and release all political prisoners have not been met london based bahraini activist dominic kavakeb says despite attempts to hold talks nothing has been done. we're looking at two years in which we've seen no reform we've seen nothing change i mean we started this uprising two years ago and on that day the first martyr of the uprising was
12:18 pm
killed and now two years later on the same day the fourteenth of february another teenager has been killed and this really shows and displays the lack of reform the continuous human rights abuses the continuous repression taking place on the streets of bahrain it's good the dialogue has come back on the agenda and there is discussions happening but it seems that this latest latest escalation of the security against the people is going to possibly put dine in jeopardy within the ruling family i think of course there are those who simply want to please the international community to say look we're having this dialogue there is not a great thing was continuing the violations on the streets people have come out through time and time again saying they won't go out and they said do not go home until there's reform and i think the fact that they stayed out for two years clearly proves that. the only solution is through dialogue and has to realize that . big brother may be watching every click you make on line the u.s. government is using new defense software able to predict your future behavior and
12:19 pm
locations in cyberspace however with the program only using data submitted voluntarily via social networks claims of previous evaluations don't stick because he's got to check on reports. 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 spite it's just a few clicks and it creates diagrams chart 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
12:20 pm
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 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 cyber space that reminds me of the conversation that i had with william binney a mathematician a spy 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 they're building social networks is part of it take
12:21 pm
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 roughly three hundred twenty million records a day. that's over time that probably accumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years mr binney blow the whistle on this n.s.a. program seeing it as a blatant violation of the constitution but with this right software one can argue that they use the 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 try 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 up location services on your phone or maybe you don't want that in that case no worries. some
