crossing the phone line. washington's accused of tapping the very germany snooping. of the british. leaders pushing for action to prevent washington from snooping. the secrets of the detainees a safe with the. sparkling clean rooms nutritious food. experience. you're seeing what there is to see. a report. coming up in just a few minutes from now and. the brought the darkness syria covering the lead strike on

a. much of the country. a major attack on the capital. the price of. the reports from the devastated syrian city of every day battlefield families who refuse to leave the. center here in moscow where it's just turned ten pm this is the twenty four day the allegations the u.s. is spying on its european allies is snowballing with germany becoming the second country this week demanding a full explanation from washington a fresh wave of indignation was sparked by claims the n.s.a. was monitoring the phone conversations of chancellor angela merkel herself reports from. the german chancellor building maybe the headquarters for the

premiership but the real nerve center operations is telephone in fact she uses the mobile so much she's become known as the mobile chancellor in german media when you look at just how much she actually makes calls and text messages on it nicolas sarkozy the french president says well that was their primary way of communicating and the actual model of cell phone call uses advertises itself as the chancellor's immobile now that's a particular type of phone that allows her to make incredibly secure phone calls and send to q. a text messages so if it does turn out that the united states was listening in to those phone calls and they may have been listening in to some potentially and supposedly extremely secure information now this is resulted in outrage in the german chris saying that it was it was up to be an acceptable repeating what i'm going to hold zone stuff that said that if this turns out to be true it would be

completely unacceptable for an ally and that stain sentiment is being reiterated on the streets of delhi in the region and people obviously it's this is totally disgusting it doesn't matter if it's the chancellor's phone call mind going on that shouldn't be listening. it seems america is a paranoid nation i can see it was necessary to listen to hold up hold on we have no more patience with all this spying there is a limit and we have reached it listening to the private films goes against all human rights. personally i think it strange that we aren't listening to a bomber schools all of this comes against the backdrop of a very important summit taking place in brussels now and it's a spying seems set to hijack some lists. we cannot accept this systematic espionage so we have to take measures we cannot imagine measures only by one country because it's out of sight of them this is serious i will support completely in the complaint and see that this is not acceptable i think we need all the facts

on the table first however there are those that are too much will be done against spying by the united states in europe and all of this could be no more than bluff and thunder we haven't really seen any firm action yet we've just seen a lot of people complaining right at the moment i'm more interested in what people are doing and what the politicians are doing who i think are making more noise than really focusing on the things that they could be doing so despite assurances from the white house that they are not and would not in the future listen to anglo merkel's private phone calls there's still some ambiguity of whether they did in the past fury over the latest n.s.a. spying claims are already it's already overshadowing the e.u. summit leaders from several european countries have sided with germany and france saying that snooping on allies is unacceptable but a former member of the european parliament for earlier told my colleague you know shop of all of the indignation has come too late. they routinely spying on

everybody and everything i'm surprised at how slow the reaction is being and i believe that he's been pushed into it by public a pretty it more than anything else because there's nothing new in the last few days but increasingly public opinion his is irate by what's been going on right and . after that very first away with indignation president obama said that all those surveillance practices inherited from the bush era would be revised and reviewed but let's not take a listen to what president obama had to say to get that with let's now take a listen to what i have been able to do is examine. and scrub our intelligence services are operating and i'm confident that at this point we have struck the appropriate balance and i slightly unconvinced frankly i mean if you've got

a multi-billion pound spying operation if you thought excluding the province and i'm going to miracle that is not much of a fighter operation the sort of fundamental revision and quite how they moneys to spy on everybody apart from mines or merkel i don't know. the impact the n.s.a. revelations of had on the business community is the focus of today's cars report here's a little of what's to come in the next hour for you. and i say revelations kill i.b.m. hardware sales in china wednesday evening it was i.b.m.'s turn to confess that its hardware sales in china had simply collapsed every word was colored by edward snowden's revelation about the n.s.a. is hand in glove collaboration with american tech companies from start ups to massive ons like i.b.m. well this is interesting because it shows the commercial impact of the spying scandal ultimately the idea that spying is making people more secure is going to

backfire because comparatively america is crashing and won't have any money at all to buy even a slingshot much less a cruise missile because no foreign government will do business with them and china of course has trillions of dollars in reserves and like warren buffet brought bought into i.b.m. at the high one seventy's he had a nice run now it's back to what he paid for he famously says really buys things that he understands they weren't going to stand corporate espionage. because report later on military one of the most one of the world's most headline grabbing prisoners guantanamo bay as known to media attacks by reporters and the t.v. crew gained access to check for itself what life is really like they're going to start a church in this report is being sent to guantanamo stuff. transparency is a word repeated by u.s. officials working at guantanamo like a mantra by those few who are comfortable speaking on camera you see the conditions

under which the detainees live you get to talk to the people who are responsible for garner we make it is transparent as possible and those preferring to remain on identifiable like the majority of officials we were permitted to speak to every week we get media like yourself international media local media whatever and they're welcome to come you know we tell them what we have any journalists workflow at guantanamo starts with a mandatory introduction to media rules the so-called operation security briefing the material that you guys are gathering to make sure that it abides by our policy here even though transparency is a word brought out by all the personnel we talked to on the ground we as journalists access to detainees aside are asked to be very careful about the shots we filmed all the backdrops and at the end of each day videos are reviewed and any shots deemed unacceptable are deleted this one will be ok because palm trees are not too controversial remind you of any frowned upon seaward like censorship it's

a series of programs established to a car or a car program accomplished with regulation sorry all video and audio recordings and even sketches are carefully studied cell phones are banned from camps we're not supposed to put anything on facebook or anything like that or you know even worry about talking about it over the you know anything over the phone this said purpose of these ground rules to protect the safety and security of getting the operations the detainees you're going to get their vision so we try to photograph them to take down we are warned violations of media ground rules may result in restricted access denial of future visits and or removal from guantanamo bay. people just kind of mislabeled it and i have a call to get before just not. giving the true picture i mean the only people who knows what goes on get more oss and detainees and getting the detainees side of what goes on and get most apparently just couldn't be done after an extensive

explanation of how exactly we are to film the prisoners the amount of detainee face time we get a total of one minute and five seconds through a dark glass window the reason we're given out of respect for them and had not using them is as you know. you know. making some kind of curiosity you know on film and things like that we don't want to do that despite our requests to not even film but at least witness more real prison or life a high ranking guantanamo admiral convinces us that we actually have a lot more access than we think you're seeing what there is to it to see you know. given the amount of time that you have here to to see it we are as transparent as possible after one minute glimpse at one detainee our schedule is in fact all booked up i pick up and they say were taken to the detention camp kitchen to witness how well things run their will since we're not really being allowed to

close to the detainees this might be the closest glimpse of their life we might be getting today we're being told the that these are the meals that they're offered on a daily basis. we're also taken to the only local radio station all made up like zombies in the audience military personnel serving at the base do you do any news related to the one time detention camp. like. that. public media because. you know there's enough journalists over there covering that music sports and talk radio pure infotainment rains here. and so we learn there we're not the only ones simply being treated to a show and party one tunnel bay cuba. well lawyers for the detainees claim visiting their clients is much harder when the cameras on to round of a total of these people have tortured at the camp when there's no one to say that

the rules and regulations that are governing the military commissions are incredibly confining for defense counsel they're subject to very strict protective orders that require them to keep classified information classified so for example the lawyers representing the men accused in the men now called the nine eleven five . they are seeking to disclose facts of their client's torture to various international tribunals and they're unable to do that right i mean there's there's no doubt the u.s. government gauged in torture it's a it's it's publicly known it's right and there are unable to do that because they can't share what their clients have told them with these outside decision makers and fact finders. and we'll be bringing you all a special series on want to move by every week here on well still ahead this hour

this is what way to them and the well come we are coming to kill you bashar scribbled on the walls. whatever happens i will not leave my house again i would like to destroy the us and we'll them again it could not be worse than this for one year syria's palestinians managed to stay out of the conflict but the infiltration of foreign fighters with big dreams and even bigger promises of money forced the residents of young men to choose sides and take up arms against people they've known their whole lives. and i have some friends fighting on the other side we're not friends anymore the ones who displaced both from our housing and destroyed our homes are not our friends. with. each day a bomb movie leaves to fight them but not before he stuck furniture high against the windows to protect his family from snipers life inside these bullet riddled boards is as dangerous as it is outside his two sons as vulnerable as their mother

a terrorist act and right now john kerry's very happy chuck hagel is very happy president obama is happy this is what their policy is is to fund and finance and coordinate through the joint special operations command and the cia this kind of terrorist actions against the people of syria they may be partly designed to carry out a disruption of their weapons inspections because other weapons inspectors have had all kinds of trouble getting into areas that are under the rebels control where chemical weapons we nisshin seem to have been used there's been lots of near misses mortar attack shell means and other kinds of military. disruptions of the weapons inspectors program and much of it and i think almost all of it is coming from the rebel side because perhaps they have something to hide. look at some of the news this thousands of students have taken to the streets of madrid the ongoing protests against the education demonstrators also voiced their anger at the

reports in the us mainstream media suggest that the f.b.i. is suspect its head you resides of of recruiting agents or more of these travelers who include governmental aides and senior business executives and others and reportedly the in the f.b.i. has been interviewing these people some journalists managed to speak with some of them as well in fact they said they saw nothing suspicious on these trips and hoped that this program would continue in the future and you results of himself has also made a statement it's some kind of witch hunt the purse to young boys and girls that have gone to russia demanding to be told what's the how's and why's there trying to instill a fear of russian in american society we've also heard from the russian foreign ministry which said that these reports have nothing to do with the reality and from the russian embassy in washington was that such heavy accusations have to be backed by some concrete evidence otherwise the reports are merely an echo of the cold war era which does nothing positive for the relations between the two states. he still
