minister benjamin netanyahu has officially said that he wants these talks to succeed but the problem is that both his government and the israeli public split over them earlier twenty six of one hundred and four palestinian prisoners that israel is releasing as a confidence measure to bolster these talks we'll see if we convicted by israel of carrying out attacks against israelis before the also accords of the nineteen ninety three israeli government said that this was a difficult but necessary stick but there have been demonstrations in this role by both the wife and protesters and also friends and family of israelis who were killed in attacks carried out by at least some of these prisoners you should know that the jury to tell it to peter out eighty five point nine percent are gangs deal many people here and he's out here to the pointed and angry. and government we feel betrayed because we are we trusted them as for the palestinians themselves
5:13 am
hamas which is the leadership in gaza is not part of these negotiations and refuses to be now the palestinian. president mahmoud abbas as he comes to these talks is definitely not talking with a united palestinian voice as is neither israeli prime minister points here are teen television but while palestinians in gaza and the west bank were celebrating return of those twenty six prisoners released from israeli jails hamas which rules garza slam the peace talks is futile and palestinians to unite and confront them. this negotiation one succeeds like the others negotiations we've tried the negotiations for more than twenty is that before and what we've got there's only one i want to len's losing a lot of people will continue for the coming by that is that i it is for a lot of people when what they say it is not going to actually continue and that's the timing this is the sentiment and doing whatever they want and. tell them and

erosion of best so-called digital privacy in the wake of the n.s.a. scandal it's been revealed that it's not just camacho companies but entire governments that are spying on their citizens and just last week we found out that just telecom on the verge of phones have been secretly processing on details of their customer's conversations over to intelligence agency g c h q coming into my privacy on those issues without my knowledge it would be a cause of concern is a breach of law is a breach of confidentiality and this woman had nothing to hide so i don't really care but still i don't think that. that's fair from them not telling us that when we present for mission to governments who are true in your twenty's citizens private information should stay private i've got nothing to hide so it doesn't matter. if you go along all that stuff it's very much the other side is there anything in the final things they shouldn't do. and it to be honest with you must

walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down lavabit after significant source searching i've decided to suspend operations i wish that i could legally share with you the events that led to my decision i cannot all other us internet services that cooperate with the n.s.a. are also legally required to keep their mouth shut but tech companies are of course not the only ones grappling with a costly trust issue the white house is doing its own damage control the president has announced that a group of quote unquote independent outside experts will review the government surveillance and intelligence gathering programs privacy advocates do not expect that this so-called outside review could actually result in changes in the programs but one change that we can expect the. is more measures to stop future leaks and one of them could be this the director of the n.s.a. said the agency is going to quote the number of its system administrators by ninety
