it's a quarter past the hour moscow time it's on the with me rule received a new privacy scandal has erupted in the u.k. it's been revealed that high tech rubbish cans of spying on pedestrians in london well the bins placed in the city's financial district by an advertising firm able to identify and track mobile phones through a wireless connection authorities are bored of the surveillance to stop the country's data protection watchdog to try and investigate is out is fully boyo. just a ben think again these nifty looking lists of bins are connected so why five and that means that they can track the movements of each and every person walking down
1:16 pm
this street as long as they've got a smartphone that's connected to why fine now the digital stalking is all in the name of advertising simply by knowing who you are and where you're going they can alter the images on the screen here to tailor the advertisement to whoever is walking down the street in the city of london corporation he said that they also use his son why despite technology that they've asked the company responsible for the bins to switch them off the local authority here say that schemes like this require the backing of an informed public but just how aware are the british public of the erosion of the 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 us citizens and just last week we found out that just had a bomb on vodafone have been secretly crossing on details of their customers conversations over to intelligence agency g c h q coming into my privacy.
1:17 pm
my knowledge it would be a cause of concern is a breach of it's a breach of confidentiality i just would have 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 to me because information 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. all that stuff is very much the other side is there anything in the final things i shouldn't do. to be honest with you must surveillance is now a reality of our every day lives c.c.h. cuchulainn day to hoover and according to experts they screw up as much information as possible online and through telephone traffic in order to school through it so if there is that there'd be paying them much more. in many. even. across the atlantic the white house has backtracked on suggestions that
1:18 pm
intelligence chief james clapper will lead a probe into the n.s.a. spy scandal or was earlier forced to apologize to congress for denying the n.s.a. collected information about millions of americans meanwhile the price tag of the fallout from the scandal is skyrocketing as guy nature can reports. it's very difficult to put a price on trust but in business customer trust consumer confidence is money according to the information technology and innovation foundation the n.s.a. leaks will cost us tech companies up to thirty five billion dollars in the next three years according to the cloud security alliance after the leaks ten percent of two hundred seven non us companies canceled contracts with the u.s. providers also fifty six percent of non-u.s. respondents are now hesitant to work with u.s. based cloud operators this is bad news for us tech companies because cloud computing and storage is a huge expanding market
1:19 pm
a market based on trust but do companies have a choice other than to share their users private information most recently the highly encrypted email service called level bit has gone off line among its users was edward snowden lavabit claims the company is legally barred from explaining why it shut down but its owner wrote this i've been forced to make a difficult decision to become complicit in crimes against the american people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down love a bit 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 u.s. 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
1:20 pm
has announced that a group of quote unquote independent outside experts will review the government surveillance and intelligence gathering programs the 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 send one of them could be this the director of the n.s.a. said the agency is going to cut the number of its system administrators by ninety percent less people knowing about the details of the programs less chances to have sex and those who do know something are strictly required to keep their mouth shut like the founder of that email service lavabit in washington i'm going to check out . more evidence that purpose is becoming a relic of the past as presented to you online legal advice from google has surfaced warning mail users they should never expect their communications to be kept secret deeper on that avanti dot com right now. on our you tube channel this

hour you'll find a massive sinkhole which knows no mercy swallowing an entire building it and building up and actually leaving it buried deep under the mud full video also on the web site right now. now that you use statistics agency says the block is now formally out of recession hopes are high this will herald a long awaited return to regular economic growth in the end of the financial crisis that the numbers are scant reassurance for the likes of greece and spain earlier we discussed this with a host of these new business show venture capital of course the host katie pill. so what about germany of france we've actually got growth in terms of their economy and is positive about no point seven percent of germany in zero point five percent for france which is building the momentum finally i'm not here with bad news are
1:22 pm
here so good news for germany and france but what about the rest of europe and the rest of the zone here is no point three percent so again we've got guys i know that doesn't sound particularly sizing certainly not party season at all but when you consider they've endured six quarters of contraction is a positive boss the concern is with the other peripheral southern countries that a father entrenched in debt is going to take longer for those countries to crew themselves out of recession which the mean at the moment i'm thinking about. greece in particular is the unemployment rate that is the real problem still stubbornly over twenty percent in europe as a whole twenty six million people still looking for work so at the moment the data is positive a long way to go on day. but even the powerful eurozone economies may be tiring of the obligations i want german political movement now mounting a challenge to the status quo we're going to tap into the twenty five percent strong euro skeptic vote during the september general election that all of the
1:23 pm
report. but luca the leader of alternative germany is being laying out his party's plans for all things economic the euro skeptic group of come to prominence saying that they all the ones with solutions for how to fix the euro crisis this is president i personally believe france will be better off which is the euro just look at the economic data the industrial output in france is shrinking youth unemployment is at thirty percent a really depressing number france was always in competition with germany but in the last thirteen years it hasn't been able to keep up when it comes to germany situation mr leakey said that while things might not be as rosy as they were being led to believe he accused the current government of muscle figures so things look better than they are chile he said he didn't want to see germany pull out of the euro that he wanted to see a small a euro zone and what that would mean is changing the rules of the euro zone as it
1:24 pm
stands at the moment there's no legislation that would allow a country to pull out or in fact be kicked out of the monetary union he wants to see that change so that could be a small a euro zone that he believes would be better for germany. it's not need for destruction and asked him all last it's on if you would like to shrink the euro zone to a group of countries in central and northern europe but within this smaller group there would be clear rules especially we're talking about a so-called no bailout for those people we would like to go further by suggesting that in the new smaller eurozone bailing out the debts of other countries should be explicitly forbidden by law and also that every year a state has a right to leave the euro zone the current situation is absurd you can leave the european union but you cannot leave the euro zone so certainly a divisive group but they're ones that say that they can challenge the political establishment here in germany in the upcoming elections next month. prime interest
