tracking american travelers under a surveillance program called quiet skies now the move targets people who haven't been investigated officially by any u.s. agency but still nonetheless may pose a risk suspicious behavior like strong body odor a regular sleeping patterns and changing hairstyle or clothes could indeed flag up someone for surveillance it seems the it it then compiles individual daily reports goes on to say that it's standard procedure here for me deployed on flights in furtherance of the t.s.a. mission to ensure the safety and security of passengers crew members and aircraft throughout the aviation sector good idea or not will create partridge got reaction to it from investigative reporter dave lindorff from political commentator steve morse burg. t.s.a. has determined that yet actually had a change of honor steve for that matter there actually are that is saying that a gravel patterns and maybe changing it and maybe changing hair color which could
7:31 am
be suspicious and it's not only have color and body odor those are two to promote examples but you know what let's take a poll of the american people and overwhelmingly they'll say do what it takes to keep us safe how you want people to be able to say bomb while walking through an airport too because they can't get arrested they didn't catch a bunch of people with their no fly list they were busy capturing nuns who were going to protests and people like. impeachment book barbro shinseki who was every time she she had to make sure she had good underpants because she was strip searched every time she would fly because she was a lawyer for the center for constitutional rights people have to understand is that you don't have any right to fly in the united states certainly it's a privilege to fly and you don't have a right to say whatever you want on a plane or in an airport you don't have a right to move about the way you want so your freedoms are severely limited to begin with for security purposes and i believe most americans would agree
7:32 am
rightfully so these things get out of hand if people don't get to know that they're on a list and get to challenge the list and that was the problem with the no fly list that's the problem with this list that nobody you know i hear out of ten maybe or out of there and they say they want to know who we know maybe they're watching you know maybe they're watching probably if i don't know their air marshals who are armed on my flights most of my flights i don't care who they're watching as long as they're there so i don't have a problem with this what some i think even trying to saying they're saying to t.s.a. maybe singling people out and if you think about according to race or some of that is that the fact is we might be you might be keeping people safe but is it a case of that focusing on the right people. yeah of course that's what i was talking about when they went after the nuns and the political people they weren't going after the people that were the real problems and risks and look i got a i got a beard i look like maybe you know some jihadi that list goes to law enforcement in
7:33 am
the united states it's going to stay there and it's going to impact your life in some way because you're not going to know it's there and they're going to watch you in different ways that may affect your inflaming your promotion could affect all kinds of things you should have a right to know once they decide that you're not a suspicious person supposedly after ninety days that you're on that list and then it gets wiped there's nobody saying that happens this is an out of control problem already and it's going to get worse to say it's out of control to say that we've missed to say that we've missed people because at the because we're watching this one we missed that one there are no new point to the shoe bomber it was a long time ago to say people are going to get promotions people are going to get good jobs there's no evidence of this this is massive state this is not mass it's hysterical and i'm going to get into flywheels of privilege if you don't want to have every car you don't want to be on a list don't fly don't fly. a charity and it's silly claims that migrant

children being sexually abused when they arrive in the country says youngsters being exploited if they come pay for the basics like food and shelter. when we arrived at the last italian station we realize that we cannot get on the train to germany because it's guarded by police they check not only tickets but also the documents for all travelers not knowing what to do we asked for help from a compassionate at the station waiting for another nigerian girl the man offered to help and said he would shelter me in exchange for sexual services. during the trip i was kidnapped my brother was killed in that attempt to free me it was horrible says dan i have been alone with my father's friend who before continuing the journey subjected me to riccio and abuse me i was not even eighteen but when we arrived need only this man made me declare i was an adult and his wife after escaping from my father's friend he began abusing me days of terror what i did nothing but think how to survive. according to save the children in italy almost
7:35 am
two thousand girls have been sexually exploited in exchange for food and shelter hundred sixty of them and children others have pretended to be adults or just recently turned eighteen jupiters landless way ross first told us that europe is incapable of solving the ongoing migration crisis. i think it's education or digs situation. when you have to handle many incoming refugees it's hard to determine. actually what is the present age what is the real age of the migrant the whole migrant system and the way how the authorities take care of those overall migrants are all girls. under age of eighteen is very alarming. relieved great risk to come to europe this whole situation shows that the migration to europe is
7:36 am
a human tragedy policymakers in the european union and the national states they are largely failing to solve this problem it's not only italy that's under pressure from an influx of refugees of course spain is now set to introduce special centers to identify migrants as part of a new emergency plan approved by the government to cope with a jump in the number of new arrivals there is a video how you see this kind of video so many times when we were posted on social media you can see both making landfall at the peak this is in this of the city could this as my viewers that run off for a different directions presumably to avoid authorities after that dangerous trip across the mediterranean in an open boat as if they haven't gone through enough now the number of migrants that arrived in spain in the last six months equals in fact the whole of twenty seventeen we can report that italy comes a close second as well numbers there are expected to grow further. in the u.s. the term elections on the horizon the republicans are calling for the information
7:37 am
on the democrats alleged illegal snooping on donald trump's presidential campaign now to be released but a severe account explains their affairs this whole issue could be buried. here's the feis application that allowed the f.b.i. to spy on former trump campaign advisor carter page republican say that it was a political operation against then candidate trump but the document could contain some interesting information but it's hard to tell because hundreds of pages were redacted now devin nunez chairman of the house intel committee thinks that the public might never find out what really happened there's a stall game going on at d.o.j. and f.b.i. they're trying to stall as much as they can hoping and betting that republicans would lose the house in the fall so transparency in this particular case will only happen if republicans stay in power after the midterm elections in fact calls for transparency in washington seem to work on a partisan basis just this month the democrats called for transparency after trump met with a lot of your putin in finland some even asked for transcripts to be released and
7:38 am
the interpreter to be questioned we want the interpreter to come before the committee we want to see the notes we we want we're going to have a massive effort to try to get to what happened but guess what even that wasn't enough after don't you think americans deserve to know what seem president trumps tax returns some business interests that are into twined for the russia let's remember this document it's a memo released to counter claims of bias against president trump and the f.b.i. and the justice department it was the democratic party's effort to convince the public that the f.b.i. could be trusted but that can't be but it was redacted too and in this case as you can guess there was no right just anger over that from the republicans apparently summered actions are more problematic than others usually when a republican is talking about transparency they want the democrats to be transparent democrats and republicans tend to bring up popular issues like
7:39 am
transparency near an election but the fact is when it matters they have nothing to say about transparency and the you. as a major history of major transparency blunders if republicans were serious about transparency they would start with themselves but the simple fact is the republican party and the democratic party have pushed a lack of transparency in such extreme ways one simple and basic example is the ways in which they have restricted freedom of press for the military actions that have now been going on for nearly seventeen years they have are of keeping the press out there preventing proper reporting and what this is doing is preventing the american people from actually knowing what's going on in these areas thanks so much to go to national this morning with me kevin though a lot more to come stay with this after the break the u.s. extends its drone program to another african country and its own going war on terror free that story and.

domestic surveillance program titled quiet skies yes our good friends at the transportation security administration are at it again the boston globe reports that federal air marshals have begun following ordinary u.s. citizens not suspected of a crime or on any terrorist watch list and collecting extensive information about their movements and behavior and then according to a march t.s.a. bulletin the quiet skies program specifically targets travelers who are not under investigation by any agency in our not in the terrorist screening database in fact the globe goes on to report that all u.s. citizens who enter the country from abroad are automatically screened for possible inclusion in the quiet skies program and if you are if you are lucky enough to make it on the t.s.a. as magical new list a host of undercover air marshals will be placed on your next flight to take notes on your every action and movement now naturally this kind of surveillance on u.s.
7:52 am
citizens is more than just a wee bit unconstitutional george washington university law professor jonathan turley told the globe that quote if this was about foreign citizens the government would have considerable power but if it's u.s. citizens u.s. citizens don't lose their rights simply because they're in an airplane at thirty thousand feet. you know it's easy to forget these times of political theater experience again the surveillance state bootlicking but yes we do still have a fundamental right to privacy and due process regardless of what the t.s.a. the cia and any other agencies. like it would have you believe. and this is why we must always be watching the hawks. to. get the. real thing what's.
7:53 am
the bottom. like you know what i got. with. the. program on the watch of the harks i am tyrone and i'm to have a for a while and let's just say it's out of the good i think it's jonathan turley the george washington university law professor saying that you're right so go at thirty thousand feet i feel like maybe he hasn't traveled lately yeah because you don't have free speech. you don't have freedom of movement you're not allowed to ask questions no father was not allowed to mouth was bigger than this right side small time you know talking now moving and now apparently you know coughing or sneezing know all the listening frightening where you know no sense there so you
7:54 am
can track of whether or not you shaved or not in between flights they keep track of whether or not you you know group your luggage too tight i mean it's really ridiculous at the end of the day and this is affecting a lot of people now they haven't gotten a full list of like how many they know that it's you know quite a few potentially and it's all over the country. look allegedly quiet. guises as they subject to thousands of them suspecting americans to this target at the airport in flight surveillance in the airports and what we're talking not just any airports you look at the map you've got philadelphia minneapolis chicago miami beach harrisburg los vegas san francisco i mean that's all over the country now mr hobbs and their major hubs are sort of catching people at these international crossroads in the united states but the where bruce even though it's these are international airports are these places where a lot of international traffic happens that's not where they're looking they're not
7:55 am
looking at foreign nationals or foreign citizens traveling in and out in the process this kind of area so according to the agency. that the documents that were released all u.s. citizens who enter the country are automatically screened for inclusion and so their travel patterns as you said affiliations are checked and their names are run against the terrorist watchlist and any other databases that sort of cover about kind of thing wow so once the list once the list travelers once the list travelers are you know are then surveilled on the airports on flights play as you said by these undercover air marshals documenting like you said at the how many times you go to the bathroom on a flight who you talk to you know if your items apple move to that's literally one of them with their adam's apple flaps too much you know. it's i feel so much sitting there already thank god somebody is counting how many times somebody is out of that and this is a flake you like is that if you fly that turkey i mean that they they like they've
7:56 am
gone after a lot of different people for those some really weird places the t.s.a. what's great is their response look the t.s.a. responded saying that when asked you know what legal basis are they using for this program what kind of you know what allows them to do this to us citizens want you. who's the veni crime or not like that they told the boston globe that the t.s.a. in its safety efforts maintains a robust a robust and gauge mn with congressional committees to ensure maximum support and awareness also remove the c.s.a. neither confirm nor deny that this existed in the first place the actual quiet skies program i'm just because they can do that in talking about it or their procedures or if it actually exists or what they do. could make or our how effective it is could make passengers less safe. so ok so we're going to look at it
7:57 am
don't talk about it judge it because if you do that you're making everyone less safe bad old excuse right there were the thing that you see in that that air marshalls are actually pushing back on this thank you so in interviews and in. interviews shared with the globe sky marshals say the program of shadowing travelers who appear to have posed no threat whatsoever. a good one which is so business woman in half of their travel through turkey a southwest airlines flight attendant and a federal fellow federal law enforcement officer so in their statement. john karr is ready the president of the air marshals the c.h.p. to clear the air marshals association believes that missions based on recognized intelligence or in support of ongoing federal investigations is the proper criteria for flight scheduling currently the quiet skies program does not meet the criteria we find acceptable so the t.s.a. is sort of the new kids on the block as far as this goes because they haven't been
7:58 am
around as long as like the air marshals and that but every other agency in the inflight is saying no this doesn't work i don't know why you're doing. income inequality in the united states continues to surge a study published by the economic policy institute found that income inequality cross america grew fastest between two thousand and nine and twenty fifteen the latest year with recorded data by the i.r.s. sarah montas to oka has more. the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer at least that's the case across america today the economic policy institute found that rising inequality is not just a problem major cities but a trend that has been rising for decades across all fifty states america hasn't seen this level of income inequality since one nine hundred twenty eight just after world war one following the great depression one income for both the lower and
7:59 am
upper class through at the same pace the study examine the income of families across the u.s. affecting both the middle and lower classes the top five were states when it comes to income inequality for new york at number one followed by florida connecticut. nevada and wyoming this means the one percent have exceeded one nine hundred twenty eight twenty three point nine percent share of income this also means the top one percent of families took home an average of twenty six point three times as much income as the bottom ninety nine percent which increased from twenty five point three in two thousand and thirteen to be in the one percent nationally in two thousand and fifteen the family needed to make an income of just over four hundred thousand dollars before tax and according to the study nine states have income inequality gaps wider than the national gap labor economist at the keystone research center who coauthored the study mark price said the top one percent is capturing a bigger and bigger share of income that raises questions were voices often
8:00 am
determined by access to money our concern is that a healthier economy is one where incomes are growing much faster at the bottom than they are and with president trump's recent tax cut bill giving breaks to all americans may not be enough to close the ever increasing wealth inequality between the rich and the poor inequality has reached new levels of absurdity there are some towns in the city of miami where the rich are being ousted by the even wealthier where changes in poverty levels in golden beach indian creek and miami dade are being gentrified even further most notably in property values in the one nine hundred twenty s. half of the population lived in rural areas across the u.s. and all that time has shifted with people walking to metropolitan areas we remain far from bridging the gap with stagnant wages and lackluster legislation in washington their amount of stale r t.
