the last. tack. here just to read is. coming up on r t a new and as a link the document shows that a federal court allowed the n.s.a. to gather information on one hundred ninety three world governments all the details on that just ahead. and as concerns grow over digital privacy there's also a consumer demand a new phone is on the market that's designed to protect your privacy from snooping government agencies more on that coming up. and in eastern ukraine government forces clash with anti-aids you have separatists ukraine's president decided to end the ceasefire as the violence returns more on the conflicts later in the show.

it's tuesday july first evening out in washington d.c. i mean we are a day that and you're watching r.t. america with privacy on the minds of many americans a new national security agency leak shows the spy agency has a wider reach than one thought according to documents released by edward snowden obtained by the washington post a federal court permitted the n.s.a. to collect information about governments and one hundred ninety three countries as well as on foreign institutions like the world bank artie's magna lopez has the details. less than six months after president obama spoke about reforms to the national security agency newly released documents from the washington post have risen on the map in terms of the reach of american surveillance from top secret documents dating back to two thousand and ten that were leaked by edward snowden

turns out the n.s.a. has been given clearance from the foreign intelligence surveillance court to spy on some one hundred ninety three countries many of the countries have it never posed a direct or indirect threat to american interests they include countries like billie's denmark riess st kitts and fiji only four countries in the world have escaped the surveillance prowlers of the n.s.a. those are australia canada great britain and new zealand together with the united states these countries make up the five eyes but if you live in one of these countries that does not necessarily mean that you are in the clear and april twentieth or tina say bolton allows for the surveillance of these countries twenty eight sovereign territories simply because of filtering them out could slow it down the system no one is forcing point to note is that in the ruling the court allowed for the surveillance not just of the communications from these overseas targets but any communications about the targets as wow well the documents do not prove that

the u.s. has been spying on each of these one hundred ninety three countries they show how far the farce the court has gone to allow the n.s.a. to conduct surveillance globally the revelation comes out into interesting time in january speech highlighting some key reforms to the national security agency president obama spoke about the need to practice responsible surveillance just as we balance security and privacy at home or global leadership demands that we balance our security requirements against our need to maintain the trust and cooperation among people and leaders around the world however in that same speech president obama did offer some legal justification as to why this type of surveillance is allowed and necessary the legal safeguards that restrict surveillance against u.s. persons without a war do not apply to foreign persons overseas. this is not unique to america few if any spy agencies around the world. constrain their activities beyond

their own borders now a former senior defense official who spoke with the washington post on the condition of anonymity offered another possible justification for this type of sweeping surveillance saying quote it's not impossible to imagine a humanitarian crisis in a country that's friendly to the united states where the military might be expected on a moment's notice to go in and evacuate all americans he went on to say that if certification did not list the country the n.s.a. could not gather intelligence under the law privacy advocates say there are too many holes and exceptions to believe that the government won't spy on ordinary citizens if it wants to there is also renewed criticism of the fisa court being a rubber stamp court rather than working in the best interest of the people as of surveilling ninety eight percent of the world wasn't enough the documents revealed that the n.s.a. was also permitted to gather information on the world bank the international

monetary fund the european union and the international atomic energy agency all in cities that the u.s. has close business ties to so it looks as if no one can escape the watchful eye of the n.s.a. abroad and many americans right here at home have cause for concern if they communicate with people living outside of the country. meghan lopez r t. it's been a full year since former n.s.a. contractor edward snowden began leaking classified documents waking up americans in the rest of the world to the full extent of u.s. surveillance operations as a result of those revelations many people have been thinking about and looking for new ways to protect their privacy and that consumer demand may explain the new found popularity of black phone it's an encrypted smartphone that's designed to keep your conversations private the highly anticipated phone was revealed earlier this year as a joint venture between crypto service firm silent circle and spanish smartphone

manufacturer geeks phone and this week the device officially began shipping out to customers to talk a little bit about what this phone can do i was joined earlier by toby we are jones a c.e.o. of s.g.p. technology that's the joint venture behind black phone i first asked him why it's so hard to protect the privacy of regular smartphones. well the main thing is that the device is built by folks who are interested in using the information about what you do to generate ideational commercial benefit for them and so our whole goal is to stop that cut it off at the knees and give ownership of that information back to the owner of the of the telephone and i want to be clear about something because a lot of people are going to associate this news on the black phone. with something that gives you complete shielding from the government is this known one hundred percent and it's a proof no it's not and it we want to make sure people understand that if if you're on the wrong watchlist and folks want to pay attention to you and they get a high enough authority to do it chances are they're going to be able to whether or

not you buy a black phone or any other privacy device but what we do get what we do provide is an ability for those folks to not leak all the normal information that they otherwise generate when they visit websites or they they they browse the web they send e-mail they make phone calls we give them different tools that look and feel just like the tools they're used to using but in fact work totally differently under the skin and don't leave all those digital bridegrooms behind now of course any mention of you know the phone was not only designed for you know to protect against government snooping but also for protection from corporations corporations data mining targeted advertising etc can you talk about that aspect and particular and how pervasive that's become for cellphone users absolutely that's that's one of the biggest things that's been swept up in a lot of these books are valence activities we've been hearing about and that's very expensive for for corporations other employees so the idea is the corporations want to ensure that only the people they want to see sensitive data actually have

access to it and that the devices they're using when they're out and about in the world are inadvertently leaking information about whatever they're doing at a corporate level and revealing it to either casual passers by or more malicious attackers and so you brought the phone with you today this is the official black phone it just it just shipped out yesterday michael out this is a. actually this is the first retail unit in the country the one that's your home the one that i'm right there i was on is the very first one so we brought it for you today how we feel special ok can you tell us about its capability the apps that people can deal on shore so the headline applications are that you can make and receive phone calls you can send receive text messages you can have video chats you can send files back and forth all completely privately we don't week any sensitive information about what you're doing and the first review that was published confirmed they did some testing on the phone it was ours technica they did a exhaustive test looking at information that the phone generates as it does its

thing and they confirm their conclusion was it's pretty damn secure they couldn't find any of the normal typical indicators that other phones produce when you connect to a web site or you send an e-mail you place a phone call the phone simply didn't leak that information out so it works the way we expected it now as i understand it this is an unlocked sounds you know so i user could take this and that it connected to any carrier eighteen teams right then that means said you know those are the companies that people most know in the tory asleep are for storing our data and for you know millions of government requests to unleash information about their users are those companies still able to do that with this sound they are if you use it like a traditional phone so it's true you can connect it to any g s m carrier and if you make and receive traditional style phone calls they still route over those carriers networks and the carriers still switch and connect those calls and they have all the records that any other phone will generate however our routes the silent phone

the silent tax the other critical privacy apps on the phone they don't connect like a traditional phone call or send a message like a traditional text even though as a user as far as users concerned that's exactly what it feels like but again the technology underneath is where all we have all of our encryption all of our security controls to ensure that we're not generating that same sort of trail of breadcrumbs so that was really the main design focus was to allow somebody who already knows how to use a phone to use all the same skills they already have but get all the benefit of modern privacy and encryption technology. now it's how we were john c.e.o. of s.g.p. technologies. and now to ukraine where the standoff between anti-government forces and kiev authorities exploded and heavy fighting today violence has been marked by ground assaults arab bombardments and heavy artillery shelling around the rebel controlled city of slovyansk the fighting broke out shortly after president petro poroshenko declared an end to the ten day cease fire that was in place the fighting

has injured two more russian journalists caught up in the violence one of the journalists spoke with r.t. about coming under fire take a listen. after we filmed an interview there was a sudden explosion i don't know where it came from it was thrown to the side like doles me become a woman and therefore self-defense fighters that were with us there was howling in my ears i've never heard anything like it quickly given first aid and sent to the hospital. since the fighting in ukraine began there have been five journalists killed covering the conflict four of them were russian several more were injured for more on the fighting that's resumed in ukraine let's go to our tease maria fellowship. the large scale military operation the king of calls anti terror operation is now officially resumed in eastern ukraine the most dramatic picture we see in the town of kind of a tourist internet screech and it used to be one of the two major epicenter was of

kiev's operation and we spoke to a foreign journalist currently on the ground and this is how he describes the situation there right now it was a. jet. by . i mean. you couldn't really. slim bounce cremains another target k.-tel you to leave crane in army for months these town in the nets create tents so severe attacks by the ukrainian military and fierce clashes between the army and to government forces left and resulted in fatalities including him on civilian population and now again we start receiving alarming messages from these town as well within the realm of the what you. can what is the or have seen when

you would us that well of which food to cool us received but again. yes there's all of us the us or the. yeah. but i'm with. the world. at the bottom yes of. your group which. i'm not in the city of lugansk and from what she can see and hear you may think that it is calm here but overnight and early in the morning we heard and these were the songs that work people are up to die they're very exhaustive in very tired of the situation and they had hopes that the ceasefire will be extended and that will help bring peace to this part of the country but now these hopes are fading. that was our t. correspondent. earlier today president obama spoke on the pressing issue of the

united states crumbling infrastructure and warned congress that it has to act or states will begin receiving fewer federal funds to keep up their roads and bridges take a listen to part of that speech we are not spending enough on the things that help our economy grow the things that help businesses move products the thing that help workers get to the job the things that help families get home to see their loved ones at night we spend significantly less as a portion of our economy than china does than germany does than just about every other advanced country they know something that i guess we don't which is that's the path to growth that's the path to competitiveness to discuss that and much more i was joined earlier by gary johnson the former governor of new mexico in two thousand and twelve presidential candidate i first asked him what he believes is the way forward when it comes to infrastructure here's what he had to say. well

leave it to the states. we're generating money best tax of all i think is is the gas tax as long as all that gas tax money is actually applied to infrastructure now when it comes to the federal government talking about infrastructure and individual states i think certainly interstates come under that umbrella and there are a lot of bridges and a lot of asphalt and concrete associated with interstates but when it comes to state's infrastructure look at the states the money and let states deal with this and i absolutely believe that infrastructure is important. to growth in this country without infrastructure you can't grow i'm not a hypocrite here as governor of new mexico you know i i was i oversaw the paving of five hundred miles of new four lane highway didn't raise any taxes to accomplish that i don't think taxes are the issue it's just applying the taxes that we raise directly to the infrastructure that it's supposed to go to all right i do want to

get your thoughts on the latest in the debate on guns you know today the safe carry protection act went into effect in the state of georgia that means that residents with gun permits will have many more places to take their weapons including bars churches and unsecured government buildings which i guess includes libraries and city halls of course a lot of people say this measure goes way too far what do you make of that argument . well bravo georgia look you know here we have the shootings at fort bragg let's just take that as an example military personnel in fort bragg we're not allowed to carry arms so all these all these mass shootings come to an end when somebody with a weapon finally shows up. what's happening in georgia look these incidents do happen don't you want somebody around don't you want a good guy around with a gun once in a while to me this is going to create

a situation where they're going to a lot more good guys are going to have guns to bring to an end in situations that currently are brought to an end because we restrict. the good guys from carrying goats and lastly elliptical look at how americans view their freedom in the land of the free a new gallup poll is out that says americans are growing increasingly dissatisfied with their freedom to choose what they do with their lives since two thousand and six that dissatisfaction has jumped twelve points how do you think american defined freedom and what do you think is really contributing to that decline. well good for americans that they're recognizing what is happening we're mad as hell we don't want to take it anymore. edward snowden thank you add to edward snowden the rise and monitor one hundred ten million risin users a year excuse me users every single day stop this isn't good this is

growing in court encroachment by the government we've got militarization of our police forces stop this needs to end. a police recruitment video. commercial running in southern new mexico that has swat a tired law enforcement officers next to armored vehicles breaking down doors this is what law enforcement has come to in this country stop we need to be mad as hell we don't want to take it anymore and this survey is reflecting that good good stop that was former new mexico governor gary johnson. it is july first a day in which hundreds of new laws are going into effect across the country some of them are more serious and some of them are downright ridiculous there's a little bit of everything in there i was joined earlier by redacted tonight comedienne john f. o'donnell he helped break down just

a couple of the more interesting new laws on the books i first asked him what he thought about a new law in florida that says insurance companies will be prohibited now from denying coverage or increasing rates based on a customer's gun ownership. this whole in this whole situation is makes me feel weird because on the one hand i don't want to be an apologist for soul sucking insurance companies but then on the other hand i don't want to be an apologist for some guy who owns so many guns that he's constantly putting his life in eminent danger of death occurring to the point where insurance companies feel like they need to jack up his rates but what i actually thing is it just shows how strong the gun lobby is in this country that they can get an exemption from something like this while insurance companies can still discriminate with people in all sorts of ways but yeah it seems like it's weird it seems like it's a ridiculous thing to have in the first place yeah but then it also seems like it's a ridiculous thing not to have at the same time a kind of the whole situation of just people that want to fill up an entire car

with guns and then anyone associated with insurance companies both sides of it make me feel i guess gun ownership is or was i should say a preexisting condition no longer at all right and now let's go to north carolina it says if you get placed on house arrest you have to pay the ninety dollars fee for the electronic monitoring device that you have to wear your pace this is in itself what is the high end of whoever is i guess if you got a job. flip the bill over what i keep thinking is you know what if you can't afford the ninety dollars then do you get fined for not paying it and then you have to keep the electronic device on longer and then you have to pay for that fee as well and if you can't pay that you just end up keeping it on for your entire life yes sure you have to stay inside but then when you check out at least you kind of slip the bill and i think the ninety dollars is probably the least of their concerns when they're on house arrest and yeah. yeah it's just it's so funny these things go

through the core of these are actual a very bizarre alright well this is not where you're going to be talking about on redacted tonight by you all you do you have a host of anything every day i want you to run down i'll what you will be covering this thirst absolutely i would. try to dig a bit deeper. acted ok so the plan is for lee's opening rant to be about this is a really interesting scientific model of that. that was made showing that basically unless there's some sort of revolt we're just completely screwed as an agent and basically we need an independence from corporate rule or rulership we're going to arrive at and then in addition we're also covering all the earthquakes to defragment of increased a lot of stuff about this facebook mood control stuff which is very strange this is very very rich a self described point zero one percent or came out saying the trickle down economics is not working at the middle class is what will you know increase and

grow our economy and yeah and not in a live in that we're going to go on thursday not friday because of the holiday the outs everyone has to make less than eight pm the night john avlon adonal we're out of time thank you. and the world cup continues in the round of sixteen earlier today was the usa versus belgium and what was a nail biter of a match although they fought very hard the u.s. lost to belgium by a score of two to one officially eliminating america from this year's world cup so so sad but even with today's loss the u.s. team achieved a lot this year and gain new fans here at home artie's manila chan spent some time with those fans this afternoon as it should on the usa take a look like to be around d.c. and many other american cities can do it screeching halt today as team usa did

battle against belgium in the world cup where here at freedom plaza in downtown washington d.c. we're finally driv people as you can see have gathered out to support the team now some people skipped work altogether they called in sick days vacation days they did whatever they could to get out of work to be here now know that. sports like most welcome to the bandwagon all souls' those patriotic so i had. no market for us all that cauldron ok when i'm recently a new soccer fan you thought you. were america usa usa patriot here's a rule right here. the ok the right the right the right way to think that media types who love to hate on sark are debating it's american this letter writing yes it is right on par and it's right i don't. write to

her yet that she will. like even the n.b.a. title take a look at this crowd apart from the super bowl the world cup viewership in america is actually there can be a final. coming in at nearly twenty five million viewers this year the world cup is just rounding other sporting events check this out and be a vital eighteen million n.h.l. stanley cup finals five million major league baseball world series nineteen point two million only falling behind the n.f.l. super bowl at one hundred and twelve million other caviar could be that this fosters and then maybe national pride perhaps kind of like the olympics the fact but all i know is that for these soccer fans out here they're hoping that this soccer fever continues into the m.l.s. regular see that the numbers don't lie soccer fans have arrived soccer is here in

the u.s. and it doesn't look like lager fever is going away anytime soon i know washington d.c. and the military and our team. before we go don't forget to tune in at nine pm for larry king now tonight's guest is the actress troy yan bella sorry all from a.b.c. family t.v. series pretty little liars here's a part of what's to come. is twitter and instagram important to the show it's crucial to the show because because we i think the reason our show is so successful is that we came out in a time when twitter was just getting its legs and all of a sudden there was this world in which you could our show would air and people could talk about it at the same time and our show was very sensationalized things happen that are crazy and you know out of left field and obviously good people gone but dead people come back to life people get killed off and you want to be able to not have the water cooler talk tomorrow but with twitter in that instant so my

character is shot and all of a sudden everybody on twitter who's watching the show all over the world from israel to brazil can talk to each other and go oh my god spencer was just shot and it's this very different thing rather than the next day coming to your work and going on and could you believe it when spencer was shot is more immediate thing. so tonight at nine pm tonight here on our team america now does it for now you can follow me on twitter amira david now have a great name. hospitals

are now starting to use consumer data to create profiles on patients to identify people who might get sick so they can intervene before that happens the carolinas health care system the biggest hospital chain in the carolinas is plugging data first two million people into algorithms to identify high risk patients and in pennsylvania the biggest health care system is already plugging in household and demographic data so hospitals are now incorporating into their systems information like did their patients buy cigarettes this week how many candy bars did they buy to they cancel their gym membership all of the little stuff we do that can be traced by our credit card transactions online information or public records are now

starting to be fed into algorithms used by the house care industry to track aspects of our health and the doctors see that we're dating too much weight or smoking too much from all the data they're collecting they can start calling us up to try to get us to adopt healthier behaviors if they see you want to take a vacation someplace where the pollen count is too high and you have asthma it might call you up to discourage you from traveling if that sounds too outlandish to ever. happen make no mistake it's already happening in an interview with bloomberg one diabetes patients says she already gets calls from her insurance company who tries to discuss her daily habits with her it's a practice that is bound to become more prevalent as our society becomes more and more data addicted as chief clinical officer for analytics the carolinas health care system michael dillon put it data is already being used to get people to buy

crap they don't need that isn't good for them or for others scary applications like identifying dissent so at least hospitals are looking to apply data collection for something good keeping people healthy right but here's the thing under obamacare hospitals are already starting to get by and for having too many patients readmitted it saves hospitals money to keep people out of their emergency rooms in the ridiculous sprawling bureaucracy that is the american health care system data collection is about money not about patient help it's only a matter of time before hospitals can start turning people away because they're smokers or charging a heart attack patient double because they ate a snickers that week it's just another dystopian application of big data in our society and the implications are scary enough to make anyone sick.
