you really. want to see obama defends trading prisoners see for security after leaks expose a gargantuan government surveillance empire one so vast that even the author of the pantry that as appalled. a love hate relationship the u.s. press is china over suspected hackers attacks as america's shaky recovery becomes increasingly dependent on chinese investment. and have a nice move to get lads' mags with scantily clad women on the cover taken off the pretty shelves but critics call it an attack on free speech we investigate.
4:01 pm
hello good morning just after midnight i'm kevin i mean this is art he is very good at and with this well there's no way around it is president obama's declared but to sacrifice previous c. in the name of security and according to league documents his administration has done just that valence mechanism unprecedented in its size and scope web history net bits and the call records of hundreds of millions of americans and people worldwide indeed are reportedly being funneled to u.s. spy agencies r.t. turner says see a churkin in with more of the revelations. 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 now combined keep in mind these three companies have
4:02 pm
a staggering almost three hundred million customers and the spying is reportedly done regardless of whether or not there is reason to suspect scriber is 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 individuals online activity and the n.s.a. is of course you know traditionally understood to gather foreign intelligence so the tracking of hundreds of millions of americans online accounts on u.s.
4:03 pm
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. and sixty 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 comments on this major scandal have also been pretty curious basically the us
4:04 pm
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 as absolutely stellar. william binney worked for the national security agency for food to use a lift on the eve of the prison he told us the sweeping nature of the program when he serves to encourage abuse. it's a direct violation of the constitution and always has been that's why i left n.s.a. in two thousand and one they started to do this and of course the congress and the
4:05 pm
administration at the time was being baboo bamboozled by the intelligence community saying that you have to collect all this data is so we can find the bad guys and if we don't do that we won't be able to achieve that and their budgets have been almost tripled i think since nine eleven so what they're really doing is saying we have to we have to use what we have which was that which is the problem with power when you give power to it to an organization or to people they tend to use it and assembling this kind of information about all in all the systems in the united states or anybody else for that matter gives you power against them you have leverage now and you can use that power against them or you can you can use other agencies of the government like the i.r.s. to investigate people like for example if they needed or they wanted to know who is in the tea party they already have that from the telephone and e-mail networks that build those social communities communities built from that data will tell them who's participating in the tea parties the central figures and who are not central to the to the to the tea party and then from that if they're asking for tax exempt
4:06 pm
status you can send the i.r.s. after them to harass them that's what's possible that's what this power of knowledge does it gives and that power to do that well washington's reacted furiously to the leak in an internal investigations reportedly already underway full rosenberg's the author of the free man's perspective newsletter he told us he thinks that despite this bombshell most americans instead of denial over what's happening. the problem with the people in the u.s. right now is that they're not emotionally prepared to deal with the possibility of an electronic police state it's just something that they've never that something that happened in east germany it's 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
4:07 pm
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 a 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. just lay true to the program report on fresh standoff between riot police and anti government activists in istanbul and ankara tonight and why is the company leadership failing to come the nation so far. but before that cybersecurity issues have been high on the agenda between china and the u.s. this weekend is the country's first bilateral summit in the decade wraps up in california and here's what important as been following the meeting between barack obama and she gene pool. while it appeared to be all smiles the men were dressed very casually notarised walking along this private sprawling estate in california there was a lot of things to discuss among them economic issues north korea but the most
4:08 pm
important issue that the leaders are discussing is cyber security now amid this meeting before this meeting took place reports have appeared indicating that obama has ordered his national security leaders to compile a list of potential over seas adversaries for cyber hacking which can be targeted with little or no warning why is that important to mention because for the past several months or more than five u.s. officials have been accusing hackers in china that have links to the chinese military the chinese government of hacking into u.s. systems and stealing defense programs stealing weapons programs stealing the patents and technologies of u.s. manufacturers those accusations china has vehemently denied and said that they are not a part of any hacking that's going on within the u.s. system but china also recently said or
4:09 pm
a technology official part of the chinese government also pointed a finger back at the u.s. so that they have massive records and facts indicating that hackers in the u.s. are hacking in into china as. china secrets and systems so clearly these tense talks are boiling up and these are the talks that apparently the leaders of the u.s. and china are expected to be having right now and now u.s. president barack obama did come out and say he believes these talks so far have been very terrific he's also said that he is hoping that the chinese and u.s. military can strengthen its ties and some would say that that could be problematic considering considering the pivot that the u.s. military has made to the asia asian pacific many experts believe that the u.s. . it is now surrounding china militarily building up militarily in china's backyard so clearly there is a lot of confrontations or issues that both of the elite these leaders need to
4:10 pm
confront but at the end of the day these two countries the two largest economies in the world need to find a way to work together because they are tied in systemically with when it comes to debt when it comes to borrowing when it comes to trade but that tense moments right now seem to be surrounding cyber security virtual espionage and these mutual accusations of hacking. so china stirring things up in the u.s. not only over its online actions as really was talking about there but also overseas trading ablations jigsawing up with me to destroy a deal that could become its biggest ever takeover of an american company the scale of the business leaders worried but other spy a golden opportunity this is a quote indeed ot go from virginia secretary of agriculture told a more he says he thinks that the state will actually benefit from the deal by getting better access to the vast chinese market in return global strategy is george who agrees he told me there is no grounds to criticize china. there is always going to be
4:11 pm
a segment of the american politicians and pundits that are always looking for something to criticize when it's involving china and and sometimes a criticism comes from left field with no basis whatsoever certainly in this case there's an opportunity to to say to blacken this deal by pointing out that the chinese court is not safe for their dead pigs flowing down a river in shanghai and so on and so forth the intention is not to supply the americans with chinese pork but really is to supply american pork in china to says the growing market there for high end products so again it's a win for for the american industry and it's a boost for the american economy. well moving in that ongoing news story coming out of turkey tonight demonstrations. stretched into
4:12 pm
a second wave these are live pictures in fact thousands of people who are amassed the violence is also reportedly broken to the turkish capital ankara a short while but were police would be using tear gas and water cannon on the crowd hoping to catch up with those pictures get some comment on that later this comes hop hop on the heels of the prime minister's aggressive speech demanding an immediate end to the unrest the accused protesters of vandalism and provocation demands for a probe into the alleged use of excessive force against dr bruce baird one claims that they'd be treated more harshly if they were european the state earlier offices in istanbul clashed with protesters using smoke grenades to disperse marchers who hurled rocks and fireworks up the drive against the turkish leadership was ignited by a brutal crackdown on a peaceful environmental sit in cities tax and square at least two protesters and a policeman are said to have died in the unrest well thousands have been injured nationwide foreign policy expert barbara slave in sydney fellow with the atlantic council thinks that it should rethink his approach towards. this was
4:13 pm
a small environmental demonstration which turned into something huge after police used excessive force against the demonstrators it's now spread throughout turkey and what it showing is that there is a great deal of opposition to heir to one personally and to the kind of creeping islamization that he's trying to promote in turkey it comes just a couple of weeks after he had a trip to washington where he bragged about turkey's economic success and again talked about turkey is a model so i think it has done damage if you look at what's happened to the stock market in turkey to the value of the turkish currency clearly he needs to recalculate i don't think this tough guy approach is going to help turkey we've heard talk about legislation that would limit when people can buy alcohol and consume it in public talk about restricting abortions he's urged women. you all have three children course you know his wife wears
4:14 pm
a headscarf all the rest there's kind of a question of that you know that as well and i think that there are a lot of turks who are still loyal to the memory of auditor and who do not want to have this forced down their throats they want it to be a choice not something that the government tells them to do. still to come nuclear power plant that can withstand the plane crash but it's the locals who approved the the tough challenge a good report for me to do much needed to tell me. that it's hurdles to get online plus to a city of trust in the quality jerusalem's arabs accuse israel of deliberately keeping going public to soften the. arguably at america's influence is much larger than that of iran so with power comes responsibility greater responsibility when you agree with that in every negotiation on a round table the parties are equal they may be different in the degree of power
4:16 pm
again you can see the shells of any british newsstand men's magazines with pictures of near naked women plus that across the cover now though two prominent feminist groups are calling for to be removed from public sight or face the legal consequences. has got the story. you're allowed mags it's a booming industry aimed at young men featuring lots of pictures of scantily clad women here in britain you can buy them in your local high street shop well that could be about to change because two feminist groups formed with the support of several prominent british lawyers say that leaving magazines objectify women and could underpin the harmful constitutes that had lead to discrimination or even violence against women so they're calling on high street retailers to stop selling the publications if they don't they say they risk being sued by bill russell and by customers non-self workers a light but can you really be harassed by an inanimate object sure they rank
4:17 pm
hotness of naked ladies and features chauvinist jokes but would removing them leave the line of censorship we hit the streets of london to find out what the public think choose a model and getting paid for what she's doing and that's what i did and more and more guys are in those pictures and well it's not just girls posting the old boyfriends these things just a culture that we're you know i don't i don't like seeing them if i walk into my is having for i walk into my local news agency and i've seen like just boobs everywhere and i have asked them to turn them over and ask me to put them higher i don't want to say it should be a choice i don't think is harmful is what i mean it's for certain type of person who reads that so it's really fun to press whether it's political or images or whatever within reason obviously there's the legal issues. is a dangerous is a dangerous route to go down editors under the readers of the last minute they're up in arms their argument against removing them is simple since the magazines became popular in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. incidents of domestic violence in the u.k.
4:18 pm
have actually gone down and if lads' mags a deemed to be harassment then how long before fashion magazines and advertising images are deemed to be harassment as well and what's to stop men from being offended by pictures of naked males also on the covers of other magazines playboy carry on the. so the. web site a computer that fills a need for speed reporting that china is sending a wake up call to the tech giants the super computers are probably places that silicon valley has to offer. to a bitter experience for world chocolate titans nestlé and mas face a multimillion dollar lawsuit over claims of a sweet conspiracy. to read up on it. jerusalem
4:19 pm
is a deeply divided city and that's clearly evident in the very different lives its people have. discrimination against them is rife accusing israel of intentionally keeping them in poverty. israeli leaders may claim jerusalem is the undivided capital of israel but try telling that to the city's two hundred eighty thousand arabs. they do is have everything gardens pools but children go to camps in the summer and what we did not have. this school sports ground is typical of facilities for jewish children but a stone's throw away arab children like ms ashame asked me to spend their afternoons playing here in the street in front of his house in the first a study of its kind the un found that palestinian poverty in jerusalem has risen steadily over
4:20 pm
the last decade eighty two percent of arab children live in squalor three times as many arab families live below the poverty line compared to the jewish neighbors part of the problem is this wallet that israel started building a decade ago israeli say it's necessary for security and to separate israel from palestine but what it's also done is isolate arab jerusalemites from their traditional economic sphere in the west bank and so whereas once you had daily visitors coming from palestinian cities to shop in jerusalem that's all but dried up add to that the discriminatory policies which see the city's arabs paying high municipal taxes for poor services and it's no wonder arab jerusalemites are 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
4:21 pm
shoulder the blame yes. because 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 municipalities really intention is to keep. you know to make their lives so uncomfortable that they eventually leave these our lives here in the shell jalen 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 goal is to make it just a jewish city with no palestinians in it since the israelis seem to be that arabs of jerusalem are citizens who are equal when in fact we're not equal at all. and so far from promoting the fact that he's playground is just one street these are fears

4:27 pm
location via their cell phone the judge supports his decision by saying that there is no legitimate expectation of privacy in the perspective of a cellular telephone where the individual has failed to protect his privacy but taking the simple expedient of powering it off this statement seems to hint that cell phones are some sort of fun luxury and that people are just too lazy to turn off their phones when they want privacy this ignores the fact that there are many people who have to be on call twenty four seven like surgeons and server technicians these people can't just turn off their phones so does that mean that certain professions can't have privacy also this presumption that people have no expectation of privacy what about people who send images of text messages of a sexual nature to each other joy i think that all these people just assume it's all public goods i don't think so the fourth amendment says that people have the right to be secure in their persons houses papers and effects and i'm pretty sure that's cover cell phones too but that's just my opinion.

arguably america's influence is much larger than that of iran so if power comes responsibility greater responsibility would you agree with that in every negotiation on a round table. the parties are equal they may be different in the degree of their power but on this issue each side is negotiating with the other and trying to reach an agreement.
