to the n.s.a. . no no i mean this is like the form of activism were you you have you know a group of individuals whether it's like lulz or anonymous and they break into stuff and they try to get the media to cover the message they want to send but at the end of the day it really doesn't change behavior of a government agency or a company basically they go out and try to prosecute the guys do you regret of being at. i regret any problems i caused companies or consumers you know like i caused damages because i hacked into their systems and they had to go in and figure out you know what did he do and they had to rebuild their systems so i would consider myself as a what i call a pain in the ass hacker right now the guy that was out i was never the type of guy who would try to wipe out or or try to profit it was great to have you on the show thank you thank you for having me. emergency crews have been joined by volunteers from russia's far east to reinforce a major protecting people from the rising water

the n.s.a. the cia and so on you know these are qwest made under five because of the secret files and to this point even talking about these requests is been illegal and so it's been difficult to even have the discussion one of them just outright refuse to give the information to the n.s.a. could they really be arrested and charged. they could be held in some kind of contempt that basically you're breaking the law the way the law is written they don't have that choice and companies are stunned simply have to follow the law whether they like it or not. they can also lobby congress and other other bodies to try and change the law. or repeal the law or or something like that and ultimately laws can be changed by courts but you have to remember that the foreign intelligence surveillance act was debated by congress in the open several years ago and so it's been on the books for some time and so now we're beginning to see exactly exactly what the law's capable of and so at this moment all they can do

with the latest leaks coming out about the n.s.a. surveillance state more americans want congress to act but what is on the docket for capitol hill to fix the problem we'll speak with new jersey congressman rush holt about the issue coming up. in texas a foster mother was charged with the murder of a two year old baby girl the girl was placed in the woman's custody through child protective services but how did things go so what wrong we'll speak with the mother of the baby just ahead. it's thursday september twelfth four pm in washington d.c. i'm meghan lopez and you are watching r.t. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is in geneva switzerland today participating in another round of talks with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov about the chemical disarmament of syrian military forces the two day meeting was you will include full diplomatic teams from both countries as well as chemical weapons experts who will discuss the overarching question of how this disarmament will happen the goal is to have a resolution to present to the u.n

spy court wrote a blistering opinion about the n.s.a.'s abuse of power in fact the judge almost shut down the government's domestic surveillance program after he quote lost confidence in the ability of n.s.a. officials to operate it in the right way but instead of shutting down the program bolton instead ordered the n.s.a. to conduct an end to end review of its policy and mandated that the organization be subject to closer monitoring this might sound familiar to those of you who are following the fallout of the n.s.a. scandal and which the president major action has been calling for its own review board so there you have it thousands of ordinary americans being searched without meeting the n.s.a. standard of reasonable articulable suspicion and as punishment they're getting review board in washington and your david parties to dive deeper into these n.s.a. documents i was joined earlier by marcy wheeler an investigative reporter of the real dot net and i asked her what do these documents that were released by james clapper yesterday tell u

and on capitol hill attempts to unmask n.s.a. surveillance continue at a senate intelligence hearing the nation's top spy were grilled over surveillance overreach of americans data the sights and sounds of that hearing later in the show . it's friday september twenty seventh five pm in washington d.c. i'm sam sachs and you are watching r.t. and we start with a historic conversation between president obama and iranian president rouhani in just the last hour actually this afternoon the white house confirmed that the two men spoke with each other over the phone about a nuclear deal and this marks the first time a u.s. president and iranian leader i've spoke to spoken in more than thirty years here was the president addressing the significance of this call. the very fact that this was the first communication between an american and iranian president since one thousand nine hundred seventy nine underscores the deep mistrust between our countries but it also indicates the prospect of moving beyond that difficult history meanwhile at th

why isn't the n.s.a. being held accountable for anything and you just said that there they are running the show of course that's obvious but you know you wrote some really interesting today talking about how the corporate media fits into all of this and why the n.s.a. is on able to hold itself accountable just want you to elaborate on that well i'm a corporate media and you know if you look at who owns different corporate entities or the media it's quite often these corporations have a lot of business that they do with the government and i've also come out and. and said that the media and journalists the news organizations were also spied upon by n.s.a. . i knew one of the reporters that i was initially talking to james runs and i knew when i was talking to him that his phones were tapped so it meant that i had to be very careful what i said. so i remember that's at the point where n.s.a. tried to put the crazy stamp on my forehead so that no one would believe anything that i said they did that on purpose

the n.s.a. tells us not so much. such as governments with drones any more oil companies have them to the federal aviation administration reported this week that it approved its first commercial flight by an un manned aircraft the flight took place in the arctic above the chuck e. cheese sea on september twelfth the drone was launched from the research vessel the westward when belonging to or oil giant conoco phillips and it was used to perform surveys on marine mammals an ice sheet those surveys are mandatory before any drilling on the sea floor this flight was made possible thanks to last year's two thousand and twelve f.a.a. reauthorization that required the f.a.a. to open up parts of the arctic for commercial drone use and the f.a.a. notes that the conoco phillips flight is just the beginning of several similar missions down the road the flight lasted thirty six minutes. in the age of three d. printing is upon us and so too are all the prickly questions over intellectual and physical property rights but what are t

revelations including the fact that the n.s.a. breaks its rules thousands of times a year that illegally gathers online data belonging to thousands of americans and that it's secretly working to degrade online encryption software and we saw momentum building on capitol hill to rein in the i said we saw committee chairs promise more hearings on the issue and we saw a congressional leadership cave in and agreeing to reforms but now all that momentum has disappeared as congress hones in on syria. sure if syria wasn't going on we can assume that this congress which is the lowest rated congress in history would have gotten together to tackle some of these pressing issues in fact history tells us not to expect congress to come together to fix anything until right at the deadline until the government does shut down or until the debt limit is reached but still the white house forced congress to debate syria this week and at the same time refuse to accept that whatever congress comes up with is binding meaning no matter what happens on cap

the n.s.a. surveillance has been sending shock waves around the world in recent months are up for debate that's right after the break more news in just about half an hour from now. the macmillan family in canada has decided to defy time itself and keep their family trapped in one thousand nine hundred six sort of like new age only for one year and not their whole lives so to live in one thousand nine hundred the family forbids the use of any technology developed after the mid eighty's they want their children to experience the world they grew up in when you had to read books and if you're outside no one could call you and there were no tablet computers to stupefy children at a moment's notice as a parent i have some sympathy with this idea because i like all of you have seen the technology is dumbing us down a lot i mean how often do you have to memorize a phone number nowadays and we've all seen bad parents just sit their kids in front of the technology and ignore them to chat on facebook about

your ongoing leaks from n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden cause more anger every time they emerge people across the world are being shown just how much their private lives and private data are being monitored by intelligence services well earlier auntie's you do ship of out of and discuss this issue with kevin mitnick and he's one of the world's most renowned computer hackers. according to at snowden's revelations e-mails phone calls messages a role being tracked so how can the government god i think have access to everything at least in the united states and probably britain great britain and now it's there's been some revelations that they've been pretty resourceful at breaking crypto so now i think they have access to a ton of stuff scott mcnealy said i think about fifteen years ago you have no privacy get over it and talk about edward snowden is he a traitor or hero from your point i think is a whistleblower you know i don't look at him as a true i'm actually glad that he revealed what the national security a

has done and we know the pfizer court reprimanded the n.s.a. for at least some of those we also know that we have in the united states a framework that requires pfizer court approval of any surveillance under the act as well as legislative oversight now obviously the snowden revelations put a lot of focus on that structure and there is serious question right now whether or not it is enough so president obama has appointed a white house senior group to analyze the issue we also have the privacy and civil liberties oversight board that is looking at this and in the wake of the snowden revelations we've see a court declassified some of its opinions as well as the n.s.a. produce more public material at the same time we have some of the online services litigating their right to disclose more information so we are going to see more information there is going to be more oversight and one would hope they would be more controls and more protection of privacy but i think this story from der spiegel is not terribly astonishing it's not terribly sashing an

i think if the n.s.a. can figure out how to do something they're essentially doing it and claiming they have the authority to do it because it keeps americans safe and i think. that's highly problematic but just because it sounds like it keeps americans safer or sounding tough and talking tough doesn't mean it's the smartest best way to do it and you know as long as they're keeping out everybody every other intelligent person in this country from participating in these decisions i don't think we're going to have the best policy policies going forward right especially since there's no real proof that this is actually keeping us safe to unconstitutionally spy on everyone i loved what you wrote about this and i want to get your response again to former n.s.a. director michael hayden comments about all snowden borders must be nihilists anarchist activists anonymous twenty somethings who haven't talked to the opposite sex in five years jennifer would have to say about. my take. personally. no i think that you k

and today the justice department released eighteen hundred pages of new n.s.a. related documents they were previously secret decisions of the foreign intelligence surveillance court however the information has finally been released after a long running freedom of information request submitted by both the a.c.l.u. and the electronic frontier foundation the documents indicate that the national security agency violated its own internal guidelines in tracking phone numbers it collects in bulk under its domestic surveillance program the documents also show that the n.s.a. presented a false information to the surveillance court about the violation in fact u.s. district court judge reggie walton who oversaw a u.s. spy court almost shut down the government's domestic surveillance program after he quote lost confidence in the ability of n.s.a. officials to operate it in the right way judge walton gave a blistering opinion in two thousand and nine over the officials who had been accessing domestic phone records for nearly three years without quote reasonable articulate su

well the n.s.a. so far has declined to answer specific questions about this agreement and n.s.a. spokesperson has said that the agency insists that the shared intelligence complies with all the laws governing privacy there was a statement that they did release and in that statement they said and again i'm quoting we are not going to comment on any specific information sharing arrangements or the authority under which any such information is collected the fact that intelligence services work together under specific and regulated conditions mutually strengthens the security of both nations so that has been their their formal response to the n.s.a. scandal it just seems to run rather doesn't it. it certainly does i mean we're looking at a scandal that has at its heart edward snowden this thirty year old format national security agency contractor who made public documents that show that the n.s.a. and its international partners conducted mass mass surveillance of foreign nationals and u.s. citizens certainly these documents continue to be an embarrassment both to the n.s.a. and the a
