well handled in the sense that i've got. another day and yet more damaging revelations in the u.k. for communications had cooled his documents reveal the lengths that he thinks he went to to keep them both of valence programs. also the u.k. prime minister failed to convince european partners to cut back on business red tape following reports that you were delicious are costing british taxpayers over twenty seven billion pounds a year. now to tan so winds turkey angers nato with his decision to get chinese help in building a new missile defense system. this

is already coming to life in moscow with me wearing the joshing british intelligence has been trying desperately to keep its surveillance practices secret wary of public anger and legal challenges that's emerged from internal documents leaked by edward snowden and obtained by the guardian newspaper. reports the spy agency's worst fears are already coming true. these latest documents reveal the long fight the g. c. h. had against making insists that evidence admissible in criminal trials now one of these memos detailing that. main concerns with reference to agency practices in the extension scape of the would lead to a damaging public debate now ironically of course that public debate already taking place in the at the moment on the back of those with stated revelations and for the

first time in a few weeks we're going to see the head of m i five and six and he giving evidence in public now that will be broadcast by our fast like link although there will be assured still a now perhaps you'll see as this public debate unfolds wheeling out some of the media friendly people of the documents also revealing that they had a list of people they could rely on for press handling but the guardian newspaper really pulling no punches in their piece today saying that the revelations once again calling into question the lack of effective legal protections when it comes to infection of our communications in calling this a breach of trust by the u.k. government on the grandest scale. and this all follows a storm in brussels triggered by revelations the u.s. has been spying on its european allies france and germany voiced their anger over

reports that the n.s.a. has been tracking the phone calls of thirty five world leaders and he is stable werne lack of trust could harm transatlantic cooperation germany's also teaming up with brazil to push for a u.n. resolution restraining u.s. surveillance former cia analyst ray mcgovern sings the icy slid out of control. i don't know what they would learn from under the medical cellphone that they wouldn't what they wouldn't learn from other more traditional or other technical sources so for them to admit that front but nothing of much value voice again that's an indictment of how they allow this kind of thing to run amok without any adult consideration of the consequences now american internet service providers are also feeling the pressure crypto seal which allows users to browse the internet anonymously as close down following the same path as lavabit the email encryption service used by atwood snowden lavabit closed in august after refusing to cooperate

with the n.s.c. crypto seal co-founder ryan lackey told us what was behind his decision they would require a search warrant to extract keys. under the new. law bit case they can use a pen or issue order a suit their id order which is a much lower standard to compel a provider to turn over keys so we can't really operate in that environment so we preemptively shut the service down it was too risky to operate being threatened with jail or prison for running a computer service for people is a very very scary proposition and i personally have no interest in you going for meanwhile activists in washington d.c. are gearing up for what they say will be the largest probe privacy rally in u.s. history thousands are expected to show up and deliver a petition to congress calling for surveillance laws to be reformed r.t. talked to one of the people behind the initiative. if there is anything hurting anyone it is the n.s.a.'s activities and hide behind the secrecy that's enabled

those abuses to continue themselves is as cowardly quite frankly in a democracy and if these programs are poured into national security as they claim and are in fact compliant with the constitution which they are not they should survive the light of day and it's small and overdue for congress to have a transparent debate about whether or not we want to live in a country with prevailing pervasive surveillance or instead we actually mean it when we sing anthems at baseball games about living in the land of the free the more. the n.s.a. spying fallout you can head to our website our full coverage on the journalists activists or to stop watching us campaigning against surveillance. at friday's summit and brussels break sail to persuade the e.u. leaders to curb what it sees as pointless regulations and that's after a new report detailed the heavy cost of red tape on british taxpayers laura smith

reports from london. david cameron's in brussels this week to demolish the return of powers from the u. and he's got a new weapon in his all marie a report by think tank. fall from being a net beneficiary of all of brussels rules and regulations that should be costing the u.k. taxpayer a staggering twenty seven billion pounds a year in europe the hundred most expensive regulations stuff like rules on working hours g.m. food and a range of other diktats and found that in at least twenty four cases the cost outweigh the benefit even according to the government. meaning that it's knowingly spending taxpayer money. in other cases the report found the benefits of the regulations have been involved with states to europe reckon that in the case of

climate change regulations around ninety five percent of the expected benefits totally failed to materialize but this study only covers the. of those have shown it's just the take of the odds so. estimates that it's at least ninety billion pounds and regulation which doesn't include the. doesn't include. it is just red tape so obviously if britain left the e.u. tomorrow those costs wouldn't just disappear but at least say critics it would be british regulation and the british people are sitting down and many see cameron's proposals for reform to this european summit as his birth step in trying to change the balance of power with brothels ahead of the referendum he promised to grab the british people. ice and fire the olympic torch has reached the north pole for the

opposition believes it cannot make prosperity is not the main issue they say membership might help improve the domestic situation in the country where spiritual groups can't operate freely and last year turkey was accused of jailing more journalists than any other country in the world and the turkish policy at the moment. no policy i mean the europeans. i don't really want turkey discomfits wrote a comfortable with that because they don't want to you we think this is wrong because we feel your accession is a strategic goal for turkey and for democracy for that secular democracy approach it being a member of kyoto tried to community of nations and while the political see saw between brussels and and current goes up and down more and more people are becoming disenchanted with the idea as turkey is europe minister one says membership is like
