network has already made an offer to him as an eighty specialist in charge of the privacy and security of users. russia's decision has made the blood of american politicians boil while the white house signaled it may council september's summit between russia and the us leaders some congressmen are hurling threats of diet consequences at moscow including possible sanctions on she's going to shake our reports. together with edward snowden russia has now become the object of washington's wrath fiery remarks are coming from congress senator lindsey graham says americans in washington should consider this a game changer in our relationship with russia senator john mccain goes it is a slap in the face of all americans we cannot allow today's action by losing to stand without serious repercussions the white house touched upon some of those are precautions saying moscow's decision on snowden undermines the growing cooperation
11:04 am
between russian and u.s. security services the white house spokesperson said washington is quoted extremely disappointed with moscow also this mr snowden is not a whistleblower he is accused of leaking classified information and has been charged with three fairly fill in the counts and he should be returned to the united states poll show the majority of americans actually disagree with the white house on whether or not mr snowden is a whistleblower they think it is but it seems the white house and some lawmakers are only happy to focus on russia because it takes the thunder away from the conversation about the surveillance state but the conversation is happening as much as the government would want to be can't put a lid on it new laws are being proposed to rein in n.s.a. surveillance last week congress killed one such bill by only twelve votes lawmakers have indicated there will be more such proposals in response to snowden's revelations senior intelligence officials have testified in congress releasing classified documents but they wouldn't be having that conversation if it weren't
11:05 am
for snowden from snowden we first learned about the prism program a system the n.s.a. uses to gain access to the private communications of users of nine popular internet services the government said the n.s.a. does that only with a warrant from the feis a court those are secret court orders snowden said the fisa court merely rubber sems such warrants and he revealed one such secret court order for a telecommunications company to hand over its clients data in bulk the government has acknowledged all collection of communication. but said no one can look at the content of those communications without a warrant snowden said yes they can this week the guardian relying on the documents that snowden had earlier provided his release details of a program that makes it possible we learned about x. keyscore which allows to search through vast amounts of data collected by other programs having sekret for his his career and his comfortable lifestyle snowden said he wanted to expose the government's case in washington i'm going to show. we
11:06 am
spoke to politico on is me true bobby true things that if the roles were reversed the u.s. would do exactly the same as russia and i think that snowden is a very special case because he didn't serve any foreign government what he did he did on his own and he revealed this information to press the foreign agents i'm pretty sure that the united states would shield such a person if he had been of russian origin and if he had been found in the united states russia i think was a lot very willing to have him here i think it's clear from mr bush's statements that he was not particularly paid. by the question is so what good would you do if he had delivered mr snowden out of the united states mr snowden will probably face life imprisonment in the united states so no civil list country can do it or this country will be respected. so russia says there's no reason why the decision over
11:07 am
snowden's asylum should damage relations with the u.s. that's a view shared by london based legal experts and examined. the ball in a sense is in the american court that the russian authorities have been extremely careful to do this by the book they've insisted on mr snowden making a proper application he's done it through a lawyer there is a well founded case here for asylum the u.s. has no legal grounds to object to this now that he is in russia proper i think he the intention will be to apply for full refugee status if the u.s. number less wants to jeopardize its very important relationship with russia because russia has done something which it is legally fully entitle to do that is a decision for the u.s. but many people will i think feel that if the u.s. does that then the u.s.
11:08 am
frankly is behaving in a very strange and self destructive way. and while some noted brown to keep his mouth shut to enjoy russia's asylum his relations continued to show you the world the guardian newspaper has published a report suggesting the britons government communications have autos not only spider at citizens but also funded by the us now check out how the tit for top spying trying works the u.k.'s c h a large amounts of money into efforts to gather personal data from mobile phones and applications saying it wanted to be able to exploit any phone anywhere anytime in the past five years of the amount of data gathered from the internet and mobile traffic by the intelligence agency has increased by more than seventy times point by a car takes a closer look at the role washington played in all this the u.s.
11:09 am
government has paid at least one hundred million pounds to the u.k. spy agency over the past three years now in return for this money they've got access to and influence over britain's intelligence gathering programs now these were allegedly top secret payments the americans expect a return on their investments in g c h q so g.h.q. has got to work very hard to meet the n.s.a.'s demands which almost makes it sound as though that the u.k. intelligence agency is working for the n.s.a. i mean for such a prestigious agency these revelations are likely to be extremely damaging one g c h q strategy briefing that the guardian has seen says to quote g c h q must pull its weight and be seen to pull its weight which gives you an impression of sort of the work ethic in g c h q and the how hard they're trying to please the americans
11:10 am
really the. guardian seen other documents that reveal that g c h q is actively pouring money into spying on personal mobile phones and applications and according to the guardian some staff that work for g c h q have expressed concern about the more reality and about the ethics behind what it is they do they are given the level of deception in their work as well apparently a number of employees have been concerned about that now the leaked papers also show that the u.k.'s biggest fear is that the us becomes dissatisfied with the work that g c h q is doing and as a result will invest less money into the u.k. spy agency which brings us to watch a number of observers are concerned most about in this story which is just how close the relationship between g c h q and the n.s.a. really is certainly considering the amount of money that's been poured in and just
11:11 am
to remind you that it's over one hundred million pounds over the past three years it would seem as though the british side is almost dependent on their american counterparts. and there's now no legal restriction stopping the e.u. from deeper involvement in the syrian conflicts coming out as an arms embargo on the country expires reports on how schools of european families are being damaged by the conference regime thousands of miles away. under move towards more secular laws in france sponsored debate of the multiculturalism as some french citizens claim they don't recognise their own country and that's coming . from one reverberates through the centuries when vengeance called for blood. i have imagined dismembering him three years to. get out where you belong.

american courts they shouldn't be doing this they shouldn't strictly be sexually assaulting the prisoners there is the government i believe he said i started using that scruton. if you're the leader in the they actually admitted this sort of thing and it's being done to try to intimidate prisoners out of talking to their lords so that unfortunately the truth would not come out around town who they don't doubt that most of them are resisting has been going through this months and months and months now and i'm gonna try out of them in a way that you know his response to that is revenue to leave him in his cell he starts singing you know both molly song snoop get up stand up be your arithmetics and the guards just show that he's not going to be cowed. i think that shack is standing up for his rights and the rights of other prisoners prisoners has motivated guards under orders from the more senior officers to treat very bad but actually it's not how the effects the desired effect on us and it's made shock is

a right idea is gaining more and more popularity now here as well as in the rest of europe such concerns are becoming more and more serious the french word wrongly y'all wildcards comes from two words near an old unit of the sons and long feudal law applied in certain areas outside large cities people who live here a few dozen corners from the heart of paris say they still feel like they're living under pujol rule under entirely different system to the fitted rollers the feeling is mutual on the other side and this difference in the mindset makes the gap between these two worlds to extreme. revolution on our team from france. and coming up a custom of blood feuds in russia's caucasus region and how it's changing in the twenty first century to stand.

remember we talked about clothing for regular folks like you and me that can make you invisible to drones well freedom fashions as i like to call them are continuing to expand although the fact that our drones infrared eyes are very scary the more common street cameras are way more likely to want to average day violate your privacy and thus they invented the justice cap this hat blocks your face with the lights from face recognition software all the camera will see is an anonymous glowing ghost i personally haven't tested this thing out nor have i seen it with my own eyes and wearing three aaa batteries on your head at all times does seem like a bit of a bother but hey if you really want to be left alone and you're willing to throw down a few dollars this looks like a pretty good fashion statement to me the sad thing is that this sort of invention shouldn't need to exist people shouldn't have to live with the constant fear of unlawful consent less observation but sadly they do so inventors keep the freedom fashions coming but that's just my opinion.
