on that are using the internet and are using social media as a high way of transporting information to plan and execute terrorist attacks so it's a matter of creating a balance there are many sort of covert means of communicating effectively online if you want to that wouldn't be touched by this judgment in the particular case the issue the irish government has been very clear would have it had there been a request from the justice department for the information that is stored on these servers in ireland they would absolutely have responded by releasing that by releasing that data as we know from the revelations of edward snowden and others there are huge questions to be asked in terms of the legitimacy and of of u.s. snooping and the interest of beings and certainly is a political activist that has genuine cause to fear governments essentially using internet spying to undermine effective democratic dissent i think this is a really important issue that that needs to be kept at the forefront of the

discussion it's important to understand that what we're looking to do with this is not to have complete unfettered as i said before access to the internet but enough access so that there are key words phrases documents pictures etc that will be used for algorithmically to detect issues in incidences preemptively that law enforcement that military that government can intervene on it's not a carte blanche decision to say ok now you have complete access to to the internet to social media fellow debater it's raising generally significant points about when it's appropriate for law enforcement to be able to access information but i think that there are there are very large questions going forward in the internet of his possibilities for snooping on virtually every single aspect of anybody's interaction with any other individual on the planet and any decision that essential . opens the floodgates into

a sort of free for all governments on the basis of the idea that they're doing something worthwhile can look at anything they want i think raises huge problems. russian biopic drama hits screens on thursday a film about soviet dissident writer sort of premiered at the bird in the film festival where it won the silver bear for outstanding artistic contribution its director told us why he was surprised the film was even shown that. it almost total in the local community was to. be able to. have a new proposed of large after the burial and film festival what did you. i knew the decisions would be obstructed by the political and particularly personal views

of the jury and that's what happened there are a lot of films no worse than our movie and the german pitches one of them were left with no awards whatsoever and the outstanding movie about the brave equivalents didn't get anything all of that is kind of hard to explain because i think there were other intentions than just fair competition but i was amazed that it does lot of was even shown that when i walked by the convention center where the festival took place i saw a person with a book in german about of lot of and another with the same book in english and then a young german guy came up to me and started asking me who does a lot of was about the culture of the one nine hundred seventy s. leningrad culture what kind of struck me was how well our film was received how universal and relatable it was to everyone we. women dominated this years a burden al with both the top prize is awarded to female filmmakers nevertheless the lack of female representation generally in the film industry or discussed at a special festival panel as well as the topic of sexual harassment in the wake of

the me too movement. again shared his views on those issues. with this is a tough one on the one hand we've got to treat the sexes absolutely equally it should be no gender preferences obviously on the other hand bearing in mind everything that's going on some sort of support for women is important because the topic of sexual harassment was indeed brought up at the festival their culture differs from ours their outlook on things is different if they find it offensive they have every right to do so because i think we have fewer problems with this in russia and i've heard some unpleasant stories but very few as strange as it may seem generally in russia attitudes to women working in the film industry judging by my peers are more transparent and positive than in hollywood maybe because we have less money or less money there is less power less temptation is just one in twenty five minutes past the hour here in moscow we are back soon with more of your world

headlines. everybody i'm stephen. out americans under george washington and our view this is my buddy max bemis financial guru he's a little bit different. with all the drama happening in our country and. every day americans. start to bridge that gap. is the american people. so you do believe comic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to

education is being supplanted by the right to access educational loan higher education is becoming just another product that can be bought and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you could become almost a regime like but it's also the fruit dream that they could ever. want is the place of students in this business model for college i was born now in an extremely more high education the new global economic war.

welcome to alex having to answer this the third in a cd is the programmes about ireland and in particular the impact on ireland of brics it and our last two programs alex has conducted major interviews with former t. shirt party heard i knew these or should say maybe limit donald today he speaks to me my colleagues a woman from the north of ireland to became it looked on our president of island she's in a non-rival position to comment not just on the economic progress of island but also on the social development of the country in recent years. alex salmond discuss what we have learned from all three interviews with professor john tong of liverpool university however first to your tweets your messages and emails were really pleased that the great interest the special seed is an island has generated

she was present of island when the good friday agreement secure the peace and one nine hundred ninety eight no one has a stronger present investment in the peace process so over to alex and maybe mcnamee's in dublin. stephen's green doublet understudy of wolf torn leader of the united irish woman but two hundred years a male later one of the consequences of breaks. for the prospects of a united ireland i speak to mary marco who's for fourteen years on our president of this republic what she has to say makes fascinating listening. remarkably is you of the the first president of ireland who was born in the north of ireland so you have a great personal as well as a political investment in the peace process how much of a threat do you see to the peace process from what's happening with bricks at the

peace process took really three decades to bring to any kind of fruition the good friday agreement in one nine hundred ninety it really was a thirty year job i remember as a teenager when war broke out on my doorstep in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine and thinking it would last a week but it lasted thirty years so it took thirty years to take a small community of three million and a half people to construct a really very sophisticated agreement that would secure the future in terms of peace and partnership that agreement was predicated upon membership of the european union it was never in anybody's thinking that at some time one of the parties one of the major parties would withdraw from the union what i'm saying is the good friday agreement on which the peace is dependent is not. stress tested against a time when the british removed themselves the united kingdom removes itself from

the european union i described it as trying to pull a tooth with ten thousand roots and that's exactly what it is it's very messy but one of the most obvious consequences of our peace process is that the militarized hard border between north and south that we used to have has evaporated the only way you know that you've crossed the border is when the vote of all pings you to tell you that you have crossed an international border it makes commerce easy it makes trade tourism easy it makes friendships easy mutual use of each other services whether it's health services education services whatever all so much easier now thanks to what membership of the european union linked to the good friday agreement vodafone can ping me michael use when she crosses the border has surely must be a technical solution in the twenty first century to avoid having customs bourse

evil of the uki decides to stay out of the customs it's not just customs posts after all i mean it's much more complex than just having customs post but may i say that they at the very idea of having customs posts of any sort ship or description whether they are by camera or paying whatever that does fill me with dread precisely because we have enjoyed from after the good friday agreement we've enjoyed a period of calm and peace with with relatively little violence and we have managed to cut the umbilical cord between public support and the paramilitaries now my worry is of course that the parliament some of the paramilitaries the smaller operations have not gone away they do not enjoy public support but give them a cause and that cause could be a camera on a border it could be or it could be a mobile patrol on a border because here's the thing. we enjoy

a completely open and free border after brags that whatever we get will be less than that do you think that you keep politicians the prime minister please or maybe with they were subject to the new norm artists do you think we've become complacent to that we don't understand or appreciate just hope of it all the question of no the borders between. them and all of mud or all or is that the political difficulties with in the government party make it impossible to reach a solution in fairness i would have to say to reason that the theresa may she like you was one of the very few politicians who joining the referendum came to northern ireland to warn of the dangers one of the very few very very few who bothered to take an interest in what the ramifications of bracks it for northern ireland within the european union within the other twenty seven including island the importance of

the irish border issue is very well known and the threat that bracks it poses is very well known but i know from living in britain living in london during the bracks of campaign that it was absolutely not anywhere on the agenda it was one of the many many things that were overlooked in the rush to an ill prepared referendum so the world's first post under scottish first minister of joining together it to argue very strongly for scotland will staying with in the single market context to use a formal route on have any advice for the use of force most of them whoa the bill to pursue that objective given the political situation i think it would be impertinent of may to offer advice to the scottish first minister or the welsh first minister or indeed if we ever have one again the northern irish first minister i will always be a believer in the fundamental integrity. of the european project and i would

my plea to those who are in positions of leadership is to never lose sight of that great project and there may come a time i'd like to think there will come a time when britain after it leaves the european union will think again. and rejoin this remarkable adventure in democratic politics the dead hand of bureaucracy you know can sometimes you know take the gloss off dreams and but so to condemn these are so too can forgetting what this was all was about because europe is also about peace as well as prosperity and for ireland it has helped to secure both for us where you're passionate european a great fire.
