said the one that intrigued me was the recommendation that the national security agency become led perhapses are open to being led by a civilian. the nsa is a military intelligence organization. not so long ago here in washington, there was not even a street sign that pointed to the national security agency, even when there was, the nsa no such agency, now there's a recognition that the ns ark is reaching deep into civil society. in terms of profound effect, not only with the society. but also within the u.s. economy. >> from both the recommendations from the review group and the opinion of judge leon, a few days earlier, is that both recognized that all of this scooping up data really did not thwart any terrorist attack, because if you are looking for a needle in a hay stack, why do you want to make the hay stack bigger? i don't think it's helped, and i don't think any of these two bodies that have looked a this helped, i think it violated the rights of a number of innocent people, who were there was no probable cause or even a reasonable suspicion that hay had done anything wrong. so the s

. >> perhapses with patient with your particular u.p.s. guy or gal, because clearly they are doing the best that they can. so what are these companies doing to make up for this robert r pardon me. >> no worries. you're exactly right, people -- do need to be patient, as a matter of fact, the u.p.s. store behind me was in there talking to the owner earlier, he said he has only received one call for someone asking about late shipments. not a lot of people are very angry, but the company is willing to refund, if there is proof that the package is not getting there on time. another interesting thing, amazon because of the situation is giving out $20 free gift carts that's where all the planes some in, we asked them, so you hire 55,000 seasonal workers has that changed over the course of the pastsy decade. have you hired any more, and they said no we have been about 55,000 i am getting that u.p.s. and fed ex may be looking to hire more based upon the surging sales. >> i would say you can count on that. for sure. robert ray thank you so much. >>

agree with commissioner campos legitimate concern but i think it's important to perceive of this as perhapses a chicken and egg issue so the plan -- i would argue is key to getting the public and political support that we want we don't have it unless it seems like if we even had the plan that would be no good but i think the plan itself showing the jobs potential that gives member unions and the counsel as a whole an opportunity to evaluate their position as well as the public utilities commission to reevaluate the position as well it's necessary and mandatory that we show those jobs are real and i agree with mr. brooks that i don't fault labor for wanting to see that it's real. i've heard commissioners on the puc and commission on the environment and the mayor, while addressing the board of supervisors during question time refer to a half plan or half baked plan or not ready for prime time plan and i agree with commissioner breed the plans not being completed is the main point that everyone uses to say that the program is not ready to launch even for them to approve not to exceed rates so i

. >> there was in fact a rain tonight in london, when you combine that, perhapses with the heat tear3 years old, any possibility that first of all, how heavy was the storm? >> we had some very strong fits of wayne and there's been a driesful. obviously an investigation, and the fact is these buildings some of them are indeed very old, and you do have instances like this in london where some of these buildings have been around for so long. that certainly the weaker parts of the infrastructure, can be effected by the weather, and that may play a part tonight. >> fill ittner from london. there was something like a ceiling collapse, the london ambulance which is their equivalent of fire and ems is reported that everybody was trapped under what sort of debris has been cleared. there are no reports of fatalities but officials are suggesting the number of people injured is at least 30, and again, this comes in a very old theater on a night where there were heavy thunderstorms. monitoring social media on this story, what are you seeing? we just want to show you a little play-by-play, so they

i think perhapses this year, we have seen it hit an all time high looking at the numbers. i am just snot sure that the retailers and the shippers were prepared for as high as it is. and actually, how last minute it was. i think a lot of people took to their computer screens and just started charging up packages that they thought would get delivered and unfortunately, i don't think anyone was prepared. >> sounds like you and i should start a shipping business. >> thank you, robert. >> looks like the holiday shopping grinches may have been worn. is thisdy spite some dire predictions about consumer spending. david will be talking about this and much more at the top of the hour, he is in for ali velshi, great to see you, so how robust were these? pretty strong. they have been warning of lower seams between thank giving and christmas, cold weather keeping people home, and so many congress supers holding out last minute deals. compare sod the very same time period last year, and that's more than double the gains that were seen in 2012. so a lot stronger. >> what about on line sh

michael has a lot of people who perhapses are not very fond of him or don't see his place in sporting you have to acknowledge him with success of a formula one driver of all time and also he was the first billion dollar sportsman if you like. he was the first guy who broke through as a really big figure in sport and trans sended it because he broke every record there was to break. he was an amazing man and motor racing and a sports man and he built a team around ferrari and this is the way he worked and he was incredibly successful and in many ways a humble man, a son of a builder in germany which is a small place and yet he is an incredible figure in formula one. >> reporter: his former l-1 colleagues have taken to twitter with best wishes for the driver and a teammate said come on, michael, give us one of the race stints to win through like you used to. you can do it. and phillip posted a picture of the two and wrote i'm praying for you my brother and hope for a quick recovery and god bless you michael. the line up is complete after a regular final day of the season and the broncos

all of these things did not exist or were in existed in the mind or perhapses that would be selfless. but now, you know, i think what we need to do is take a look at safe harbor and say are there ways we can improve it. and the e.u. commission has proposed may 13 recommendations for improving it. some of which i think we ought to on this side of the atlantic take serious look at. i talked about it last week in europe. i said there are ways that i think we can without doing too much work. they're not a heavy list. but it would help get rid of some of the irritants in term of how share boar operates. the vast majority of the companies used an alternative resolution mechanism like trustee or bbc or something like that, which is free. it's free to european citizens. it the european citizens has complained about a company they can go either to the european data protection authority. kind of like the country specific regulator or go to one of these companies and they can have their complaint heard for free. 20% of the companies that have signed up for safe harbor are using an alternative di

gives for the reason the program exists, this judge says that this is a program that could have perhapsed prevented the attacks on 9/11. the judge last week in washington, he came to the opposite conclusion. he said he didn't see any reason for this program to exist. and he says that the government has to prove that it does anything to prevent an imminent attack. again, differing conclusions based on the same program, the same set of facts. >> evan perez, thanks so much. >>> new this afternoon, target with a stunning reversal. we now know that personal identification numbers on pins were in fact stolen along with credit and debit card information when target stores were hacked earlier this month. it was a massive data breach with more than 40 million accounts affected. so pretty huge news considering that it was just yesterday we were telling you about target, saying, hey, don't worry. your pin wasn't compromised. for its part, target believes the pins do remain safe and secure, but obviously, this has huge implications for anyone who shopped at target using a debit card. if you did shop

is growing at not a great clip but at a decent clip could carry the rest of the economy along to perhapsesa quote on the screen here for people who can't see it, but this is potomac research group talking about the deficit, the tax receipts are so strong and yes, they're helped by fannie and freddie, which they'll continue to be helped by, those receipts are so strong, the deficit could fall blow 2% of gdp by 2014 and could have a small surplus by 2016. is that part of the reason why the markets are suddenly thinking gee, this could be the reason that the fed tapers? >> more that the economy's recovering that leadses to fed tapering but the deficit story is quite good, there's a massive story in medicare. medicare spending in the first two months of this fiscal year, october, november, was in nominal terms lower than last year. that's unbelievably rare historically and it follows up several years of very slow growth. if that trend continues, everything you think you know about the long-term fiscal picture facing the united states is wrong. >> yet, there is one troubling spot for a lot of p
