president obama defends america's surveillance program as the extent of the spying on the country's citizens and leaves even. shocked. turkey's capital ankara police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse thousands of anti-government protesters. rights organizations over the fierce crackdown. that may just summit between the u.s. and china wraps up in california serious friction over cyber attacks and trade. twenty four hours

a day you're watching. president obama has defended the secret surveillance operations the u.s. government has been running for years by saying it's necessary to sacrifice privacy for the sake of security leaks documents reveal the unprecedented scope of the data collection program which monitored and stored information on the web searches and phone calls of millions of people and has more from new york. 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 a staggering almost three hundred million customers and the spying is reportedly done regardless of whether or not there is reason to suspect scriver 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 all 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 powell talk have been used by u.s. officials to monitor photos videos e-mails and audio and 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 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

communications 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. stick to it 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 u.s. 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 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 us 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 for william binney worked for the national security agency for thirty two years left on the eve of the launch of prism you told us the sweeping nature of the program uses to encourage abuse. it's a direct violation of the constitution and always has been that's why i left the n.s.a. in two thousand and one they started to do this and of course the congress and the 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 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 them that power to do that violence has broken out in the

turkish capital ankara as anti-government demonstrations stretch into the second week police are using tear gas and water cannons on the crowds as offices are reportedly making arrests istanbul witnessed some of the scenes and you can describe as intense with the details. people came out for a peaceful protest in one of the main parks and that is when the police essentially came down on them with full force pepper spray tear gas water cannons whole sorts of everything that they have in the arsenal of course the police have used on the on the peaceful protesters were even really creating havoc there also have been reports that there. are rest how followed all of the protesters still really the police in the turkish capital went all out yet again to wipe out the peaceful protest of course people have started protesting the plans to get rid of the gezi park right here in the middle of istanbul and after a peaceful sit in of about roughly fifty people was broken up by police. about

a week and a half ago people came out and thousands and now they're saying it's not about the trees anymore and they're not just coming out in this jumble they're coming out as i said innocent and on koran and in tens of other cities across the entire country roughly there's hundreds of thousands of people participating in the protests countrywide and their main requested this point or their main demand at this point is let's leave the park where it is and let's see the government go however there to one is obviously very defiant he insists that there will be no early elections which means that the government will stay in place and everyone says that he will also continue to go ahead as planned and wipe out the park of course we also have to see how those plans spend out because the people that are here in the gezi park and in the taxi square they're not going anywhere. the foreign policy expert barbara slave in the senior fellow at the atlantic council says that on that needs to rethink his approach to dealing with the protesters. this was

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 is shown 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 a tear keep 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 abortion he's urged women to all have three children a course you know his wife wears a headscarf all the rest there's kind of

a question of that. 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. so it's a common nuclear power plant that can withstand a plane crash because the locals who have reason to be a tough challenge to the program reports from india on the atomic energy and the mood will be placed on its online. the second day of the summit between barack obama and paying his wrapped up in california soltys been appointed to her explains amid a diplomatic climate of mutual accusations of like attacks cyber security was high on the president's agenda. 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

important issue here cyber security now 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 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 and now u.s. president barack obama did come out and say he believes these talks i've 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. is now surrounding china militarily building militarily in china's backyard so clearly there is a lot of confrontations or issues that both of these these leaders need to confront . 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 and amid the ongoing friction of a currency wars and suspected son of attacks beijing is set its sights on the choir in america's largest pork producer a multibillion dollar deal if successful but the biggest ever buyout by china of an american company the proposed takeover has sparked anger in some quarters and state officials involved in the move so it makes good business sense when secretary of agriculture of virginia where the company is based claims american producers will profit from the deal this exclusive response to r.t. from told to him or he says the acquisition offers greater access to the huge chinese market. the analysts george agrees and says china will be the scapegoat no matter what. there is always going to be a segment of the american politicians and pundits that are always looking for

something to criticize when it is involving china and and sometimes that criticism comes from left field with no basis whatsoever certainly in this case the station opportunity to use to blacken this deal by pointing out that chinese court is not safe for their dead pigs floating down a river in shanghai and so on and so forth the intention is not to supply the americans with chinese port but really is to supply american pork in china says the growing market there for for high end meat products so again it's a win for the american industry and it's a boost for the american economy. still to come here on our team jerusalem a city of contrasts and in quality report on the plight of homes in the ancient city is israel that really keeping an eye on details coming up off the break.

could be about to change because two feminist groups armed with the support of several prominent british lawyers say that leaving magazines objectify women and could underpin harmful to choose could lead to discrimination reasons why it's 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 bubble last month by customers non-self workers alight but can you really be harassed by an anonymous old ject sure they rank hotness of naked ladies and features chauvinist jokes but would removing them lead to lives of censorship we hit the streets of london to find out what the public think shoes i'm older and getting paid for what she's doing and that's what i did and more and more guys are in those pictures as well as not just girls i post in the oak cliff and says i think it's just a culture that we're you know i don't i don't like seeing them if i walk into my is having before i walk into my local news agency and i've seen like just groups

everywhere and i have asked them to turn them over and ask them to put them higher i don't want to see an issue be a choice i don't think it's harmful or school i mean it's for certain kind of person who reads that so it's really quite a press whether it's political or images or whatever within reason obviously there's a legal issues. is that is a dangerous is a dangerous route to go down editors on 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 thousand nine hundred incidents of domestic violence in the u.k. have actually gone down and if lads' mags a deemed to be harassment then how long before fashion magazines an advertising images are deemed to be harassment as well and not to stop men from being offended by pictures of naked males also on the covers of other magazines for the boy carry on. london. online for you today a man who is no stranger to leaking privileged information the world's most famous whistleblower giuditta saunders spoken up again this time about america's most

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 cities 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 shoulder the blame alone yes. because it is very difficult for us to give services to those communities behind the wall there is a security if you are sending city employees or contractors into those neighborhoods in the past our men were attacked while trying to provide the residence and services but many arab jerusalemites feel it's a smokescreen they say the municipality's real intention is to keep. him out to make their lives so uncomfortable that they eventually leave his our lives here in

there's 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 action 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.
