based on the public reporting regarding snowden. i've never been convinced he merely went through the channels. there may have been more that took place behind the scenes that hasn't been revealed publicly. but according to the public record i've never seen much effort. but i think that congressional intelligence oversight is an area where we need to pay some attention so that there is more of a sense an understanding on the publics' part that there is this proxy within the representative government that is paying attention and can actually do something about it. one of the challenges, of course, for members who sit on the committees is that they might receive information but then they are bound from being able to discuss it with their colleagues who are not on the committee. one of the things that i would like to see is more effort and we would have to sort of develop the framework for this for members not on the committees of expertise to have a better understanding of what goes on in the national security space. particularly so w

that's what we're looking at, that's what snowden is concerned with. majority of the material that we had. do you think, if today, somebody inside an organisation, whether it be a news organisation or someone inside government, was wanting or willing to spill the beans, to blow the whistle on what they saw as malfeasance, do you think they would either need or want to go through a traditional media organisation? why couldn't — why wouldn't they, in the age of the internet and all of us having immediate access to the web and social media platforms, why wouldn't they just publish themselves? i think that's a very good question. it was remarkable in a way that edward snowden, in deciding to pass on this material, didn't just publish himself. i think the opposite example, if you like, if someone like julian assange who is essentially, an information anarchist. julian assange, the founder of wikileaks. he did work with you for a while, we must remember, before falling foul. but there is a question of whether you trust old media, if you like, to be the gatek

they're i mean snowden revealed like a lot of the.programs from time to the karma police love these names. you know all the way down to the black hole which is were was a repository of over one trillion on why the vents including internet history email message records and social media activity without words feeling happy today he's actually stepped up and so that this is ultimately a good thing it was a win for his team and i think what was missing from out a sort of the way i learned after watching you america because we did a bass note and actually did respond on twitter and what he had to say was for five long years governments have denied the mass. global mass surveillance violates your rights and for five long years we've chased them through the doors of every court today we one don't thank me thank all of those who never stopped fighting and that's that's really important thing you have to keep saying it's still not right you keep saying it's the rule but it's still not right. all right as we go to break off watchers don't forge

because it is right after a court ruling on thursday you mr snowden along with thomas strike will be to you countless other mass surveillance whistleblowers of victims or rights yes according to a new ruling by the european court of human rights the mass surveillance carried out by the british intelligence agency agency g c h q did indeed violate the human rights of the europeans from new york city are to strain chavez has more. journalists and civil rights groups scored a victory today against the british government's mass surveillance system europe's top rights court call. the so-called big brother program unlawful and a violation of human rights. we have one. judgment day at the european courts confirming that the mass of aliens practiced by the u.k. government as revealed by edward snowden is on the wall and we have argued this consistently over the past five years and is a really important victory for people's rights in the u.k. only be clear to the public hearing only good to see really the american. big brother works and out of those verses the united kingdom the judges ruled

there are couple, was over edward snowden and his revelations given to you about a massive electronict surveillance operation being conducted by us intelligence, specifically the national security agency. to be brutal, your mantra was published and be damned. you should never, in my view stock, exceptin should never, in my view stock, except in the most exceptional circumstances, stop an editor from publishing. it is not the duty of the state to stop the free exchange of news. but the editor must think carefully before publishing and perhaps consult with those who can tell the editor whether there was a genuine and real—time risk to national security. and we did all that. damned bit is that you take the consequences. in the end we ended up publishing from america because the pentagon papers case of 1972 when the edward snowden of his day, daniel ellsberg, told the truth about the vietnam war and the american government tried to stop him in the supreme court said no. that is not the role of government. the press must be independent from government. who did you consult? the big damned e

the documents that are mostly associated with the name edward snowden. what we are lessons from that? with that happened -- would that happen today? >> there are many. they are lessons for both protecting sources and for journalists. in my circumstance, i was approached by edward snowden and i am a documentary filmmaker. it is a complicated for the work that i do than if you are working for the post or the new york times. i think the government has tried to peel away people were doing reporting, document three film -- documentary filmmakers or people who are doing independent reporting from the kinds of protections that you have if you are working for established organizations. there are many journalism students in the room. the biggest advice i would give is that, when i was approached, if you are in this field you should assume as a baseline that you will be targeted. the information you are receiving will be targeted and you need to learn how to use digital security tools to protect resources. it will not be enough for you to say i will protect my sou

responsibility did snowden hold? tohe trusted journalists make the decision. >> i think it's important that he did not entrusted to wikileaks. he contacted laura, who contacted us and "the guardian," and trusted us to use our judgment. we had experienced journalists working on the stories. we were in constant communication with the intelligence agencies about what we intended to publish. we sat there sometimes for hours going point by point about what would be in the story and give them a chance to object. where therenstances were details they asked us to ithhold because they felt could put at risk an individual or some method that was critical, and we took that under advisement and in some instances withheld that. particularly if they said that an individual's life would be at risk. we definitely withheld fat. so there were times they asked us to withhold things that had already been published. we felt we probably did not need to do that. they continued to argue we she withhold the information, because they said, th

like that to happen is there you know and i think that people need to worry about that like it was a snowden so it's turnkey dictatorship is kind of already on the books i just haven't had the group come in to really do it right right it's it's there it's there it's possible and all it would take would is a little bit more acquiescence from the population on some on some key issues and this frankly to me this is a big one like the censorship one like it happened last week and it was almost like the entire media landscape just sort of shrugged about it and i was amazed by that it is it is truly amazing last i want to ask you september is coming up which actually i think marks the ten year anniversary of two thousand and eight crashing when lehman brothers fell or it was september fourteenth or fifteenth or whatever was yeah it was out of the yeah yeah i mean it was going on since two thousand and eleven but that's kind of the ten year mark. what have we learned in the last ten years from the bottle nothing yeah yeah and that and i've been hearing i've been hearing about this for about a year

shouldn't might compare of the cia john bolton the national security advisor insist when there are snowden or we don't want regime change we just want perhaps in the future more dialogue we just want to look i may be a bilateral accommodation on various points of concern when you look at those points of concern it seems very difficult for iran to come to an agreement with the united states and here once again after all trump spoke we had both john bolton and mike compares speak to a group that's alone lobbied for conflict with iran this is the sort of group neo con group extreme right wing groups other things iran was connected to nine eleven with the evidence so this was was showing that spin to the administration was almost speak to analysts who remembered comes to mind who has connections with the trumpet ministration who says this actually does reflect a debate within the administration but the thought of things that bolton pump air was saying very different i think they really wanted anything other than regime change to ruin his speech said it's ironic that the u.s. government doesn't

kind of things that were shown to be true from the revelations that came from for example edward snowden we know that the government our government has been routinely being not entirely forthright with us i think this is most likely to be another example of that kind of dishonesty will donald trump signing the executive order will it put some kind of distance between him and the russia collusion investigation is maybe that what he wants to come from and he said earlier that nothing happened in twenty sixteen he reiterated that again but yet this is now happening. it seems that the media has more than enough time to go after either real or fabricated but however you look at it either nonexistent or very very minor kinds of meddling while they still continue to both ignore a challenge of political parties like the libertarian party as well as the actual kind of evidence and of what's going on overseas at this point the u.s. government has done all it can for example to keep the media away from our military operations so right now we see is the media not covering what it should be covering

moments that caused me to write the book, was to see criticism of government surveillance after the snowden, coming from people in the tech community, when i knew they were collecting far more information than, in its wildest dreams, the us government imagined they would collect. and, they weren't collecting it in order to protect people from being blown up, they were collecting it to sell you things, or as we've seen more recently with cambridge analytica, to try to induce you, politically, to go in a certain direction. and while i'm not saying that the government doesn't have things to be corrected and adjusted, and i think that the government did have to make some adjustments, it was remarkable to me that we spent a lot of time agonising over the government and very little over the private sector, which was collecting 20 times as much data. are you saying to me that you think we, as citizens, should be more concerned about the power vested in the huge tech corporations? and we can name perhaps the biggest of all as being facebook, google, amazon, apple, microsoft — i think some call them
