eight pm here in moscow it's kevin zero in with a very good company for just joined us our top story british intelligence has been trying desperately to keep it surveillance practices secret wary of public anger a legal challenges that's emerged from internal documents leaked by edward snowden undertaken by the guardian newspaper but as r.t. sarah firth reports next the spy agency's worst fears are already coming true. these latest documents reveal the long fight that g c h t had against making insists that evidence admissible in criminal trials now one of these memos detailing that g c h t's 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 case at the moment on the back of those edward snowden revelations and for the first time in a few weeks we're going to see the heads of m i five and my six and t.c.h. he giving evidence in public now that will be broadcast by our fast like link although there will be assured still a now perhaps we'll see as this public debate unfolds wheeling out some of their media friendly people 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 insert shin evolve communications in calling this a breach of trust by the u.k.

government on the grandest scale. well this of course follows a story brussels' over the u.s. government spying practices france and germany voiced their own group of reports that the n.s.a. has been tracking the phone calls of thirty five world leaders then a joy the statement on friday warned of a lack of trust or this issue that it could harm transatlantic cooperation germany to also teaming up with brazil now to push for a u.n. resolution to safeguard internet prove privacy more generally former cia analyst rove mcgovern thinks the n.s.a. 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 nothing of much value boys again that's an indictment of how they allow this kind of thing to run amok without any adult consideration of the consequences well now two american internet service providers are also feeling the pinch crypto seal which allows users to

browse the internet and notice these closed down for the same path as love a bit the emailing christian service used by edward snowden now the big closed in august after refusing to cooperate with the n.s.a. now crypto seal co-founder ryan lackey told us what was behind this decision they would require a search warrant to extract and ensure under the new. law bit case they can use a pen register or their id order which is a much lower standard to compel providers to turn over keys so we can't really operate in that environment so we preemptively shut the service down it was too risky operation 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 going to. and all this in another strand of the story crowds in washington d.c. now gathering to protest against mass surveillance organized the same way the largest pro privacy rally in u.s. history activists from the stop watching his campaign will deliver

a petition to congress calling for surveillance laws to be reformed we talked to one of the people behind the initiative. if there's 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 is cowardly quite frankly in a democracy and if these programs are as an important to 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 seemed long overdue for congress to have a transparent debate about whether or not we want to live in a country with prevailed pervasive surveillance or instead we actually mean it when we sing anthems at baseball games about living in the land of the free. say spying fallout head to a web site t. dot com we've got full coverage there of the journalists and activists supporting the stop watching us campaign against state civilians. so we differ next so the olympic torch has reached the north pole for the first time ever as part of that ambitious sochi twenty forty relay. join the arctic voyage on board

a nuclear icebreaker. just in case you didn't actually believe we were going to the north pole i think that eliminates any down doesn't it you might think it's just before the dawn or just before the sun certains but actually we're right smack bang in the middle of the day in fact it's just gone twelve thirty in the afternoon but of course the further north we go the less daylight we're getting the polar nights are coming into full effect and as you can see our ice breaker is really having to prove our worth now. faith. you can see everything is getting rather busy and excited up here and we're all on the bridge for the final approach there is our live picture flame away from so you can make its way onto the north pole. top of the world.

well it's not often you get to witness a moment of real history but this is the first time to be in a big claim is ever been made of the north pole exactly that. and i'm here to see. friday summit in brussels britain failed to persuade e.u. leaders to curb what it sees as pointless regulations his offer a new report detail the heavy cost of red tape on british taxpayers laura smith reports from london. david cameron's in brussels this week to demand the return of

powers from the u. and he's got a new weapon in his all marie a report by think tank in europe fall from being a net beneficiary of all of brussels rules and regulations that costing the u.k. taxpayer a staggering twenty seven billion pounds a year open europe has looked at the hundred most expensive regulations stuff like rules on working hours g.m. food and a range of other addicts and found that at least twenty four cases the costs outweigh the benefits even according to the government figures meaning that it's knowingly spending taxpayer money to know. in other cases the report the benefits of the regulations have been involved. in 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 top one hundred others have

shown it's just the tail of the arts so. ninety billion pounds in 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 for british people as things stand many see cameron's proposals for reform to this european summit as his first step in trying to change the balance of power with brussels ahead of the referendum he's promised the british people. coming up soon or america's expanding waistline. very sweet fatty and very salty. point while we take

new zealand is boldly going where no government has gone before and according to reuters has decided to create a regulatory body to oversee recreational drugs that is they are opening pandora's box it has at least temporarily given approval to fifty substances for sale at special stores which are bad in most other countries the body is trying to take a more scientific approach and determine which substances are actually harmful to the user you know i've heard the argument that the war on drugs just wastes massive sums of money effort and lives. we need turn a futile battle which is true it does but the only option people give is just legalize all drugs there are a few problems with this when something is legal that tends to make it ok is it really ok for you to spend your whole life in a trance to avoid reality is it really ok for everyone in town on friday night

after work to go on an ice crystal meth rampage the other problem is that the war on drugs fails because it's fighting the drugs and not the reason why people take them which is to escape reality why do people want to escape reality because in modern times or post modern times we live a soulless pointless isolated consumeristic existence of working in a pointless office job just to get poor so we can scrape by and get some cheap plastic junk at walmart when people's lives are empty they will fill them with something through a needle but that's just my opinion. lucky right from the scene the first strike. and i were being butchered. on a reformist twitter. under instagram. to
