well. telefonica said they would also try to roll this out for their customers however there are some that are skeptical of whether it could work due to the the nature of the modern communications however telecom is saying that they're determined to protect their customers information from the prying eyes of the spice . and a miller mcgurn founder of a blog planet dot info and we get ex-partners web site things that merely rerouting data is not enough to ensure privacy. unfortunately in germany we have a situation that the trustworthiness of our foreign and interior and to the service watching there a high level of cooperation with the national security agency and with the british government communications headquarter. does not make them trustworthy at all so if they can intercept the stuff. they might hand it over in bargain to the americans

a service which i pay for all i want is good customer service i want safety of my network or my server if appropriate for this reality congress over to lucian it's time to wake up. and we are reporting on how the n.s.a. gets its hands on your friends list on social networks along with out of personal contact data and don't forget to check out our twitter feed for the latest updates on the story. after two weeks of government paralysis u.s. senators say they're close to restoring a state functions and authorizing more boring they've got two days left to do so or risk a full valid likely trigger and global crisis and on top of that as ortiz and he's now a tell us the public mood is getting ugly. this self-inflicted shutdown is causing panic around the world as washington scrambles to avoid default the global economy
11:06 am
is at risk of being thrust back into recession while at home millions will have to cut their losses either way deal or no deal businesses that were unable to work at full capacity for public sector contracts which will see delays in payment and unemployment which is already on the rise due to the shutdown but possibly the most ironic thing about this government shutdown now in its third week is that it's not saving money it's costing america at least one hundred sixty million dollars a day and given the crisis has entered its fifteenth day the overall costs could be as much as two and a half billion dollars and that number of course is expected to grow and the political debate is hampering a rise in the debt ceiling but also leaving sick americans out in the cold for each week of the shutdown hundreds of patients cannot be accepted for treatment at the national institutes of health including cancer patients seventy five percent of the staff is not working because of the shutdown and it's the patients in need of
11:07 am
medical treatment that are suffering that are is are outraged at the closing of public parks and war monuments due to this shutdown the government has run out of cash to pay some eight hundred thousand federal workers during the deadlock over the weekend thousands came out in d.c. and stormed the barricades at a world war two memorial calling for the government to stop using veterans as political pawns in this battle for the budget while another group of retired military personnel are set to protest here in washington d.c. this week again starting their rally at that war memorial the department of veteran affairs and seeing the backlog of disability disability claims grow along with the frustration and uncertainty among the military community also prominent faith leaders are set to join locked out workers at republican offices to pray. and march for an end to the suck down they're expected to call attention to each representative stance on the debt ceiling encouraging them to vote to end this
11:08 am
standoff so as the sub down continues we are seeing more and more protests in the capital and more people in different groups demanding the government do their job and get a budget passed. now there may be progress but it's not a good deal being talked about now wouldn't resolve the crisis but rather delay it setting the scene for another budget showdown early next year but this is nothing new according to jim rogers author of street smarts avengers on the road and the markets we've been kicking the can down the road prince sixty years as an american i do you think we've got this much we're the largest debtor nation in the history of the world we've got to do something about every year that goes by and we go deeper and deeper into debt somebody has got to solve this problem one way or the ok but how can it be solved i mean the senators are now saying that they've got a solution temporary fix is what they say that will last for a few months but what happens after that i mean it all seems like
11:09 am
a do now something but think later approach. well that's exactly right you use the word temporary think that's what it is marina same old charade they will come out a few days and they will announce everything is ok no. problem two or three from now. and we'll be back at the same place we are now only worse because the debt will be worse and countries that are lending to america and really you know that russia china few other countries is starting to say we've got to do something else we cannot keep putting money into u.s. dollars and then the u.s. government because this thing is going to end and the i'm not the only one who knows that many other countries this starting to say we have to find another idiot to the u.s. dollar because these guys are not from. so why is the world so concerned about both the u.s. shut down a possible default because america's debt is so huge almost every major nation
11:10 am
holds some of that alice say the biggest danger here is the knock on effect if the u.s. defaults banks the massive losses on their bonds which are paid for by pensioners savers and investors that if the banks go this is will fall next as they won't be getting the loans they need and after that the world economy takes a massive hit starting with america's biggest trade partner that. well economist and former british treasury official neil mckinnon says that even before any of this unfolds america's already suffered a major loss. i think that the one of the key problems that american policymakers face is that this ongoing for school dysfunction and periodic fiscal crises you'll recall that we were down this road back in two thousand and eleven when america was stripped of its aaa status by standard and poor's and then we had the fiscal cliff at the end of two thousand and twelve it was
11:11 am
a real risk of america falling back into an economic recession and here we go again with the shutdown and the debt ceiling crisis and i think these periodic crises undermine confidence in u.s. economic policy they undermine confidence in the u.s. dollar as the world's leading reserve currency and if this continues if this dysfunction continues then over time i think the more nervous investors will be more downside risks with the global financial system more of a chance that the u.s. economy falls into recession which would inevitably have a knock on effect elsewhere in the global economies international investors will be looking for a reform of the international monetary system and they'll be challenging the role of the dollar as the leading reserve currency. reducing reliance on the u.s. dollar has been discussed ever since the credit crunch struck back in two thousand and eight at four thirty pm g.m.t.

switzerland will soon vote if they should start giving out thousands of dollars in cash to every adult citizen in the country you heard me right there's a grassroots campaign that is trying to get the government to give out to every adult citizen two thousand five hundred swiss francs approximately two thousand eight hundred dollars per month the motivation for the project is that many in switzerland fear that the financial crisis has caused wealth inequality to skyrocket you know i'm not an expert at swiss culture so maybe people there are different but if they gave out thousands of free dollars per month anywhere i've lived you would see the majority of people going into early retirement and not working at all and it's sort of like how they tell people not to feed the bears at parks because then the bears lose their instincts and will go hunt because getting a sandwich thrown at them is a lot easier i mean why go through the effort of auditing when the sandwich just magically appears handouts often creates law according to reuters some people are proposing a much better law for switzerland limiting executive pay to being twelve times higher than that of the lowest paid employee although this plan is making headlines
