10:06 am
sixty six long before things like mobile phones facebook the internet all of those things that the n.s.a. apparently looking into now this could be a genuine effort by the by the german ministers to try and help the privacy of the people of the european union or it could be something of a smokescreen and a bit of damage limitation you have to consider that germany was one of the major helpers for the national security agency when they were spying on people around the world in fact the b. and d. the german secret service operated one of the major parts of prism this was called the x. keyscore program that basically looked into what people were searching for online and five hundred million data connections here in germany were checked or were available to be checked by the n.s.a. now this all comes after
10:07 am
a week in which we've seen angela merkel originally claimed they only heard about n.s.a. spying through the media at then turned out that in fact germany was one of these major partners now the germans have an election coming up a big general election coming up here at the end of september and the german people are understandably upset by the amount of information of theirs that was being looked at whether edward snowden knew that he could be a big influence in the german elections when he decided to leave these things will never know but what's the certain is he definitely and the information he's brought forward will definitely be used in the upcoming weeks and months before that vote considering the involvement of germany and other e.u. countries in the n.s.a. spying program it begs the question whether this is a legitimate attempt to improve the previously of the citizens of the you or just politicians attempting to cover up the fact that they've been caught with their hand in the cookie jar. and while germany is engaged over

a vast gear when it comes to surveillance some of us friendly states are doing exactly the opposite big brother is getting bigger in new zealand as the country's leadership also expand its spying program in the name of national security check out the story at r.t. dot com. says that russia security agencies in talks with the ever be i over the fate of whistleblower edward snowden but a crime a spokesman has once again reiterated that the n.s.a. contractor will not be extradited to take us snowden is seeking asylum in russia and waiting for their paperwork to allow him to leave transit zone of the moscow airport has been stranded there for more than a month while in washington lawmakers are pushing for a trade or other sanctions to be imposed against any country that grants him asylum russian authorities haven't decided on snowden's request yet but three last american countries already said they would shelter him nicaragua is among them and
10:09 am
this president exclusively told r.t. why snowden would be welcome that. i think the threats coming from the us work against them it's ridiculous when a power like the united states threatening a young man who's had enough courage to tell the truth about something with it went against his principles or a man who realized at a certain point but who could cross the line of what is called intelligence work he understood or intelligence and lawlessness begin. as was nothing to do with secret operations were and were protecting state interests or with the search for scientific information a point when he sort of this is sheer madness because it isn't normal it's not like the us are forcing the europeans hand in this is just a we have something in common common positions a common strategy and the same desire for global domination they want to impose democratic principles on the world they want to judge all nations. the special sanctity to edward snowden has come from german accidents these former n.s.a.

10:11 am
fight against corruption whistleblowers plea a very very important role they're the ones who are often the revealing wrongdoings and companies in authorities in organizations and we have a long tradition to support those who are willing to speak out about corruption and about the wrongdoings and i think that this process is not going to snowden just on the lines of our commitment to support whistleblowers yes but to edward snowden who is actually. eager to stay on the russia's diplomatic shan't shelter says that he is ready to give up his whistleblowing activities now or do you think about it. i think the fact that he is now willing to stop giving out further information shows what pressure he is and what uncomfortable situation this is something obviously very regretful and we just hope that this prize also
10:12 am
lifts his mind on this question a little and that he very soon hopefully can and this situation we would of course very much hope and would welcome him if he could take the prize here in berlin on thursday as of august personally we have always encouraged the german government to invite at what's known on the witness protection program because the information is given have indications that there might have been violations of german laws and it should be the job of the german prosecutor to look into these and one of the key witnesses would be a persona of yes and will do you think about germany's initiative to upgrade to a u.n. privacy regulations to snowden revealed a better leans close ties with the n.s.a.
10:13 am
i think it's too early to judge and we have just heard before it's still unclear if this is just talk only or if we will see really results and we have to we have to judge on the results and not on what is said at this point in time before the elections but we also should not forget it's not only about the u.n. privacy laws it's also the bald by literally agreements between germany and the u.s. and other countries so more has to be done than just starting a process about the u.n. privacy although this might be a step in the right direction but we would expect a lot more talk to christian executive director said john branch of anticorruption group transparency international thank you very much indeed several speaking to. unemployment in france reaches a record highs sparking a scramble by the governing socialist policy to contain a crisis that's forcing many of the country's young people to rely on home doubts

10:21 am
the more that the right wing of the nutter is likely to take a defensive position. try to accuse the secularists of trying to undermine them i mean after all they were democratically elected so it makes it more difficult for the moderates on both sides to really come to compromises on the constitution there are still some outstanding issues that people are accusing enough to of having made revisions to the draft constitution that haven't been approved by the other parties involved. so i think it will polarize things more in terms of drafting the constitution and delay things quite a lot. in france the number of people out to work has reached a record high with almost five million unemployed it's casts a shadow over president alonzo optimism the country's being pulled from its economic mire france has now seen as troublous level increased steadily for more than two years as all she's marrying for the notion explains the crisis is forcing talented young french people to try and dare to try their luck elsewhere. the grass

boy oh boy there are a lot of conspiracy theories out there for a mysterious extra player that's drip killian creatures living among us but there are also many conspiracy theories that are very plausible and some that are well actually true one that i've heard for a long time is that they are specifically trying to fool the police with dimwits to abuse the american people. which is silly right rights according to a.b.c. news the discrimination lawsuit revealed that robert jordan was denied the chance to become a new london police officer because he was too smart his entrance exam score was
10:29 am
a thirty three which is an i.q. of one hundred twenty five and it was just too high to allow him to defend the public good that police department only accepts candidates who have scores from twenty to twenty seven the logic is that people who are too smart get bored as policemen and they're more likely to quit after years of costly training. yeah this is proof of a conspiracy theory well the lowest score they accept is still around an average i.q. so that doesn't mean they're specifically trying to fill the place with sub par people but it does seem really weird to fear people with high i.q.'s entering the police force this case that the confirms nor denies the conspiracy theory but is definitely food for thought and does a kind of not make sense to discriminate against anyone ever for having a high i.q. i don't know but that's just my opinion. choose your language. with no.
