that is not a wiretap. that is just a phone -- phonecall. >> to me the time appears difficult for rashad so what is your take on it in terms of what you heard from the public? >> obviously it's a panel of three judges. i think one of the judges is seen to be generally prodefense, just my reporting of the judge. the other judge -- yes, that's right. the other judge is pro-prosecution and i think -- that's right and john newman, yes but john newman i think rashad's lawyers look to john newman as being kind of thing wild card because he is very intellectually rigorous and i think they came away disappointed by the questions he asked. right there. the second row. >> hi. i worked in the 2000, 2003 managing partner there and thinking of somebody who was knowing a lot of college -- colleagues there the sense of betrayal is so acute that it's mind-boggling. a firm like mckenzie the absolute key is -- to the extent that eight years after he left mckenzie i still won't talk about it. that's the first in the second is

they went to a judge, got the wiretaps.e going on, they suddenly hear the name of toronto's mayor. we don't think at this point, from the transcripts, that they knew ahead of time, the police, that the mayor was involved. but it was that allegation of the video and this would have been in march that he knew about this alleged crack video, that he offered to get some money to get the video, $5,000 and a car. >> so let's be real clear. the mayor was never the target. he was not being wiretapped. the mayor was not the target, people. and the things that were said about the mayor, those people knew nothing about who was listening in. and what they said, so much pictures of rob ford doing the hezza. i did not know until today that that is heroin. and dixon's blood members talking about ford's smoking their rocks again, a term for crack. they were talking so liberally about the material they had. are these claims that were being made without the people knowing they're making them? basically they're just talking amongst themselves

that was sort of overshadowed by the big warrantless wiretapping that was happening at the time. i think again, maybe people may have assumed that that had gone by the way side as some of the illegal and immediate post-9/11 stuff was moved under by the authorities. but no, absolutely. a lot of this is stuff we wouldn't know about otherwise. we saw president obama's press conference you referred to saying well, it was important that we have this debate, and indeed, you see now, big changes need to be made. a court says actually some of the stuff maybe wasn't legal after all. could have had the debate some other way. you want to believe him. you want to believe that we can talk about these things and regulate our national security apparatus without classified leaks being part of it, but, you know, how else were we going to have this debate? is there any evidence that this is a debate we would be having at any point but for those leaks? and so, you know, may have to say well, you wish this kind of thing weren't necessary. that, a debate could happen and secrets could be kept. that n

but this is ground zero right here for the rob ford saga. >> wiretap recordings revealing that he maybought heroin. you spoke to mayor ford tonight. what is his response? >> he laughs at that. again, a lot of this has not been test in the court and you know yourself, this is the kind of thing where they surveil and intercept conversations about people that are in gangs and it has not been verified or tested. so again we dome have mayor ford on an intercept talking about buying heroin. but again, there has been video pictures from surveillance from the air that shows he and the guy sandra who has been charged in this whole mess, and packages. so you can make the leap. and this whole story is about making a leap. wink, wink, look what we have. >> amazingly ford is still hanging in there in the polls. how is that possible with these headlines every day? >> it is just, i think that there will be books on that, jake, alone. i know that there will be movies and videos and people who would love to play them. hopefully mayor ford doesn't end up going down the same path. he is a likable guy. a

the information comes from wiretaps of the gang members who discussed trying to blackmail the mayor. the report also suggests ford regularly used drugs including heroin. ford chocked up the use of crack to what he called an isolated drunken stooper. one more thing, rob ford's tv show didn't really work out. canceled after one episode. but now it's going to have a segment on a washington, d.c. sports radio show starting this morning called -- i'm not kidding here, "the sports junkies." >>> ask whether washington should change the team name from the redskins, he reportedly said, no, what are we going to call the cleveland indians? the cleveland ab ridgeals next? that's a quote folk, not my words. ford reportedly attended a redskins football camp as a child. barnicle liked that one. let's go to business. this morning we get weekly jobless claims. gdp revisions for the third quarter. as for the markets, yesterday they were mixed. the nasdaq was slightly positive. the dow and the s&p 500 finished off the lows but in negative territory. two days in a row, kayla! good morning. >> good morni

a certain set of requirements that the united states has to abide by when it wants to, let's say, wiretapamerican phone call. it needs probable cause and a warrant from a judge. in the international little am when we're delling with nonunited states persons who are outside the united states, under existing law, we allow the nsa, for example, to intercept those phone calls if it has reasonable grounds to believe that the phone call was carrying information relevant to international terrorism, or cyberwarfare or nuclear proliferation. so it's not probable cause, it's reasonable grounds to believe which is somewhat different. and there's not a judicial warrant requirement. there is after the fact review. basically what we recommend in addition to that is that the certain specific requirements, that the government never use this program exaccept for purposes of national security. that it never used this program on the basis of the political beliefs of religious convictions of any person. that the united states not disseminate any information obtained through these processes, even with respect

but we are now after snowden's leaks and america was shocked to learn how telephone had been wiretapped . she's absolutely fine so don't worry. what are russia's relations with the u.s. after the leaks. ok. you want to know how my feel about mr obama after snowden's leaks i feel jealous i feel jealous because he can do these things and get off scot free still there is nothing to be happy about but on the other hand there's no reason to be frustrated however tough the criticism against the us may be all these measures have always been aimed at tackling terrorism but there must be some clear rules and certain agreements including those of ethics ukraine was another issue discussed the country's been going through a rough time in the past few weeks with the protest taking place warthe for and against moving closer with the e.u. moscow is giving a fifteen billion dollars loan and according to the president that is being done primarily to help the country called the severe economic problems it's also experiencing and why they want to put an added he doesn't think that integration with the e.
