2:01 am
you're watching already live for mom also headquarters i'm to bomb would say it's good to have your company with us. president obama has defended his administration's a sweeping surveillance program in response or is paulson revealing the m president a scale of spying on america's cell phone and internet activity in the u.s. lead us i think meant on people's privacy was modest and necessary for the country's security his remarks however led to some congress members accusing him of betraying the values you once advocated and associates have now reports from the u.s. . and a massive leak on the extent of surveillance on hundreds of millions of people dubbed breathtaking by civil rights groups and outraged americans more revelations on what exactly u.s. officials have been popping into the light america's national security agency has been using three of the biggest u.s. telecom companies verizon and sprint to monitor all phone calls made by subscribers
2:02 am
now combined keep in mind these three companies have a staggering almost three hundred million customers and the spying is reportedly done regardless of whether or not there is reason to suspect describers of any criminal activity and this is of course shocking this includes all of the phone calls being made within the united states as well as between the u.s. and foreign countries making really the scope of this tracking system even wider than american territory and of course this comes at a time after the obama administration acknowledges the existence of an n.s.a. and f.b.i. program dubbed prism in a nutshell this program what it entails is nine major internet companies that include google facebook yahoo microsoft skype you tube apple a.o.l. and pal talk have been used by u.s. officials to monitor photos videos e-mails and audio to all other sorts of information tracking a really sweeping scope of individual's online activity and the n.s.a. is of course you know traditionally understood to gather foreign intelligence so
2:03 am
the tracking of hundreds of millions of americans online accounts on u.s. territory through american companies is certainly a pugil revolution to put it mildly but because of the popularity of these web companies such as google and facebook for instance it's absolutely obvious that communication spied upon does not just include americans and overall just staggering all consuming monitoring of personal data that is a major eye opening example of what obama's administration has been up to we have heard comments from europe mainly germany for example about the need to clarify the scope of this u.s. program on questions are also being asked about the extent of the knowledge of the british government in terms of what kind of knowledge it had on the survey. city and how it might have cooperated and dealt with the u.s. on this as well and it's important to note that online freedom fighting group anonymous has leaked a total of thirteen documents curiously one of them the us department of defense so-called strategic vision for controlling the internet and on an intelligence sharing network which shares data with partners around the world and obama's
2:04 am
comments on this major scandal have also been pretty curious basically the us president in a nutshell says that absolute security cannot walk hand in hand with privacy and lack of inconvenience and you know putting aside the claim of absolute security in the u.s. certainly something that has reason to be widely questioned this seems to be a statement completely opposing a belief voiced by our founding father benjamin franklin the those willing to give up liberty for some safety don't deserve either one but apparently the roots of the american history that the country prides itself in now irrelevant as obama's administration tries to wash off the amount of dirt released under a leader who swore by transparency as well as present of u.s. practices of democracy to the rest of the world absolutely stellar well this is not the first time the national security agency has come under fire for meth is infringing people's rights we spoke to william binney who worked for the agency for thirty yes and help explain some of its practices he told us that the sweeping
2:05 am
nature of the program can in fact make ensuring security more difficult. it's a direct violation of the constitution and always has been that's why i left in a say in two thousand and one they started to do this exact it is it adds more more of a problem because what that means quite simply is if you go into a larger database you get more data back to matter what the query is it's like making a query with google if you go in with a google querrey you can get tens of thousands or hundreds of trial were even a million returns where there's no way you can go through that all of that to see what what you're really interested in so what that does it complicates in that way makes them really a less less proficient at doing their jobs well all of that's being borne by the taxpayer the u.s. government does likely to a pineta criminal investigation into the leak that revealed to the scope of the surveillance operation to british and american newspapers paul rosenberg of the author of the siemens perspective newsletter things despite this bombshell most
2:06 am
americans are still in denial of the state of things the problem with the people in the u.s. right now is that they are not emotionally prepared to deal with the possibility of an electronic police state it's just something that they've never that that's something that happened in east germany something that happened in china but they never think such a thing is possible in america and it's a good question over how many people will just find a reason to pass it off there was terrorism one hundred years ago there was terrorism thirty years ago these organizations spent billions before nine eleven they spent billions before the seven seventh's bombings they spent additional billions before the boss boston bombings and they occurred just the same there's going to be terrorism one hundred years from now too so it's a fallacious trade the sale give us out give us all of your privacy and we'll give you security they haven't done it and they can't. right as always we're interested
2:07 am
in your take on the issue you can vote in our online poll to let us know how you think u.s. citizens will react to the mess of surveillance revelations let's take a look at how you know what you've been saying say father sixty eight percent of you write they say that they think that the government surveillance was a new secret for most americans a little over there and twenty two percent say that. people must be outraged and a backlash is in evitable only nine percent believe that it shows that the government isn't doing its best to protect the population and the same number are questioning why their online lives have been looked into adult what do you think have you say at our t.v. dot com. today violence is once again. these are the images the world is seeing on the
2:08 am
streets of canada. during operation throughout the day. while barack obama is facing scrutiny at home over large scale spying on americans he's still pressing his chinese counterpart over the suspected hacking off if you were secrets or any issues like cyber wars and the u.s. military buildup in china's backyard a search to dominate the second day of a historic summit in california artie's around one calendar reports. president obama and chinese president xi are marking on a historic meeting in the sunnylands retreat here in the desert of southern california one of the main topics during this meeting will be cyber security now the u.s. government has been highly critical of china accusing it of hacking into u.s.
2:09 am
military weapon systems and getting information from private companies here in the united states now china has denied that it is responsible for state sponsored hacking and in fact internet insiders within china have said that they have also been victims of cyber attacks which have come from the united states now the united states has been very secretive about its cyber weaponry however it has been noted that the u.s. was behind the stuck in a spiral which cause major damage to iran's nuclear facilities it is also known that u.s. cyber command is trying to recruit thousands of hackers in order to create cyber warfare or to protect the united states from hackers themselves and even president obama has proposed in his next defense budget nearly five billion dollars for cyber security one of the hot topics during this historic meeting which will also touch
2:10 am
on trade and on the conflict on the korean peninsula chinese president xi is also likely to raise concerns over the u.s. military buildup in the pacific something that has caused great concern in beijing . there's also another issue straying concern in washington china is about to complete a deal which could become its biggest takeover of a u.s. company beijing's expansion has drawn a lot of criticism from some quarters in america some are actually welcoming the deal right now on your screen right now you can see an exclusive response to our team from todd hable the secretary of agriculture in the virgin yet he believes that the agreement is going to be beneficial for the state as it will provide american producers with more access to the chinese market george costanza of international city to alliance and says the criticism towards china is in many cases simply unjustified there is always going to be
2:11 am
a segment of the american politicians and pundits that are always looking for something to criticize when it is involving china and sometimes the criticism comes from left field with no basis whatsoever certainly in this case the stations of the cure to. just like in this deal they point out that chinese fork is not safe for their dead pig slowly now in a river in shanghai it's also for the intention is not to supply the americans with chinese port but really is to supply american pork in china to satisfy the growing market there for for high end products so again it's a win for the american industry and it's a boost for the american economy by later today makes them stacy herbage and look

a closer at who profits the rights from trade wars. turkey's prime minister has accused the e.u. of hypocrisy and double standards say the demands for an investigation into the use of excessive force to disperse protests in turkey. as police in europe and the u.s. using the same methods to deal with vine and demonstrate his jerky seeing anti government running into a second gathering in the capital. this time there was no police into few areas in stark contrast to previous nights when authorities used tear gas and water cannons against protesters the clashes have left at these a three day thousands in git foreign policy expert says everyone's defiance and refusal to address criticism is
2:13 am
on the mind in the country's image internationally. so far i don't think he's doing a very good job and this is a huge blow to him personally to his image and also to the turkish model which he has been touting around the middle east as something that arab countries should emulate he wants to change the constitution to create a sort of imperial presidency and then run for two terms as president this kind of behavior is alienating people who are religious as well as those who are secular so i think he's taking a big big risk by deepening divide among turks and he really should i think quit while he's ahead because obviously the longer he's there the more people even people who are predisposed to like him at the beginning begin to tire of his manner of governing he's somebody who lectures who sermonize is he doesn't listen very well in my experience and i think this is really not a good model for a country that purports to be a modern islamic democracy i think this is left
2:14 am
a lasting damage to him personally and to turkey which of course has been you know very successful economically it's attracted many many tourists from around the world people may think twice now about going to istanbul if there's tear gas going . up and down to call avenue and in taksim square. coming up israeli arabs a feel they're being walled off from the country's economy the latest on choice of all power to help them live people below the poverty line israeli authorities claim the arabs just don't want to be helped. and india is said to launch a nuclear reactor shrugging off massive protests over safety concerns while its russian manufacturers claim it could withstand a passenger jet crash that story and more coming up shortly.

suffering the worst poverty rate of all time the jerusalem municipality has an arab affairs department but critics say it pays less attention and money to the very citizens it's meant to serve something the municipality acknowledges but refuses to shoulder the blame alone yes. it is very difficult for us to get services to those communities behind the wall there is a security issue with sending city employees or contractors into those neighborhoods in the past our men were attacked while trying to provide the residents and services but many arab jerusalemites feel it's a smokescreen they say the municipality's real intention is to kick them out to make their lives so uncomfortable that they eventually leave and is our lives here in the shell java neighborhood on the border between east and west jerusalem jewish groups say his family's house like many others was once owned by jews and they want them back but. they are doing everything they can to kick us out of the city. their
