oftentimes i think -- we think of goods -- classic sources like ed snowden. that's a pretty unique, rare event. incredible one where you have thousands of pages of highly classified material that creates this transcendence. most often in my experience outside of the national security, it's somebody who works in the place and is disgruntled. they are essentially a whistle blower. they observed something and they have a document that got to them they are troubled by. it can be a private company. right now i'm helping to rebuild -- expand upon this team at propublica where we cover government tech and civil rights issue. it's looking at algorithms. big data. how the police use surveillance technology and new ways to do that. we sort of span a wide range. there can be people in a local government procurement office troubled by something, it could be somebody at facebook. i think what happens when there intake problem, it's a lovely way to say it, maybe if they accidentally shot themselves in the foot by sending you a message on linked in or friending you on faceb

we had the snowden revelations but there wasn't a massive adoption of devices and systems that would keep them safe. are we worried up here on the panel that maybe there are hundreds of millions of people who would just say i like the convenience of these things and i'm not a target and i'm not worried. i'm glad that mow sill that laputs -- mozilla puts out a rating but i'm fine bye the baby monitor. does that keep you up. >> a very valid stance if you have taken the time look at this and say, i'm fine with that baby monitor, it's half the price of a good one, and you're an educated consumer. that's a good outcome. i'm okay with that outcome for them. but i want everyone to be able to make their own decision and i think when you place those preferences into context, people do care. now, it's -- i hate privacy surveys that say do you care about privacy? of course you. do it's an abstract word of value, you feel like you should. but there's a study i really like, a qualitative study from pew, that gave five different circumstances, and asked about privacy preferences and expectations.

described the company like this...edward snowden: "the nso group in today's world based on the evidencee have. they are the worst of the worst in selling these burglary tools that are being actively currently use to violent the human rights of dissidents, opposition figures, activists."i got to see the power of pegasus... unwittingly... two years ago. mobile security experts at checkpoint... one of the world leaders in cyber security... showed me they could hack a phone with one click...gaining complete access to the microphone... camera... and data.the malware they used... they say... was similar to pegasus.one of the cyber experts was michael shaulov... who launched his first startup in 2010 when he understood the potential threat of pegasus and similar programs.michael shaulov, fireblocks: "even when they sell the software to specifically the law enforcement agency that originally bought it, in the case that those guys want to infect what we call illegitimate targets, nso has no control - they cannot really prevent it."nso group uses what are called zero days -hidden vulnerabilities

interrogation techniques he sanctioned after 9/11. ,s foreword written by nsa whistleblower "iard snowdenrites, when the history of our era is written not by the torturers and their apologists, but by those who never gave up on the promise of the universal declaration of human rights wolfgang kaleck , will be one of the primary authors." wolfgang kaleck is the general secretary of the european center for constitutional and human rights. his new book is "law versus power: our global fight for human rights." he joins us now in our new york studio. what looking at looks like an attempted coup d'etat. talk about what it means in the context of international law. wolfgang: if there are human rights violations in venezuela, of human court system rights which is not supported by the u.s., which is suffering from lack of money, from lack of resources. the judges have to go around europe and get funding for the court. if anyone is interested in democracy and human rights, they should support the american board of human rights first. second, i appreciate very much theremarks of the one -- u.n. expe

on the nsa and inspired by the enormous amount of information coming out as a result of the edward snowden revelations and the following year, it made sense to have a dedicated full- day conference on surveillance, this is the fifth year, we are running it under that name i recall, a year or two in excellence, national security report, i was asked, do you think that edward snowden information peters out? the story from the headlines, still enough to talk about every year. , the surveillance. i would not be happy to say, i can confidently say, it does not look like we are running into the problem of being short on subject matter for a conference anytime soon. before i introduce the first panel, i want to suggest, a conference like this, people come in and out over the course of the day, i am very pleased after the conference, the smithsonian american art museum has agreed to give a special tour for the attendees of the ongoing trevor pagan retrospect, sight unseen, astonishingly original artist that explores the surveillance state in its many guises and works to use art to make visible oper

story for the new york times and the washington post his sources included documents leaked by edward snowden. one of the turning points in his life is that arrest at the frankfurt airport in germany in one thousand nine hundred eight he gets caught by a customs agent but i think that is already on to him so he quickly becomes an informant and manages to goes to prison but for less time because he helps the dea a bust of the people he was working with and the heroin deal. he began working for the u.s. drug enforcement administration but he also continue dealing then in one thousand nine hundred eighty s. he was course again how it leader was his defense lawyer he had a rather interesting physical attribute with his eyes when i was one color the other eye was a different color so there was no resting. gay that he had right he was in jail he was desperate to get out of desperate to get out of jail. and he wanted to if possible cooperate with the government to get. a second deal was struck off to just six months ahead he was released from jail on probation as an informant on new york's drug scen

putin the russians he really was a primary instrument and having it snowden house now in russia he paid it snow and hotel bills in hong kong and so you can't really separate in my judgment a son from russia and that's why i believe russia when they hacked into the e-mails of the d.n.c. and mr podesta e-mail account they used mr assad and wiki leaks as the publication vehicle and we know from the if the allegations the diamant are true that mr stone was working as at least a middleman or a cut out from the campaign to coordinate and be apprised of the timing of the publication of the e-mails to maximize the political use now one thing that's critical to remember is that mr assad in wiki leaks is he's not a u.s. citizen he's australian so foreign entity that under u.s. laws would be criminally prohibited from doing anything to influence the outcome of the presidential election so there are serious to be a vulnerability on mr stone even though it wasn't alleged that he was receiving are collaborating with the use of foreign valuable material to influence the outcome of the election i belie

kennedy: you're working in 2013 and that was the year the snowden russell -- revelations came out about the americans. reese to labor to do some of that warrantless spying even though some of your nonessential employees were unable to fulfill their duties? >> that was criminal activity obviously and he was not working on anything we were working with that's for sure. i'm talking about the criminal division and i will tell you candidates really did have a detrimental impact on national security. it really does and i don't know about you but if you feel comfortable flying when tsa screeners in air traffic controllers are being furloughed i think these are serious things that need to be talked about. kennedy: i think we should talk about privatizing the tsa because i think most of the security theater and there are so many aspects that are nonessential and hope only the shutdown will illustrate this. the committee for not taking a salary during the shutdown or they think it's quite hypocritical for many of her colleagues who are dragging their heels and not making bold moves to be drawing

edward snowden, in his first ever video appearance in israel in november, described the company likehis. >> the nso group, in today's world, based on the evidence we have, they are the worst of the worst in selling these burglary tools that are being actively, currently used to violate the human rights of, you know, dissidents, opposition figures, activists. >> reporter: i got to see the power of pegasus, unwittingly, two years ago. >> your phone is now compromised. >> that's it? >> ten seconds. >> reporter: mobile security experts at checkpoint showed me they could hack a phone with one click, gaining complete access to the microphone, camera and data. the malware they used was similar to pegasus. one of the cyberexperts was michael who launched his first start-up in twn2010 when he understood the threat of pegasus and similar programs. >> even when they sell it to specifically law enforcement agency and originally bought it, in the case that those guys want to infect what we would perceive as like illegitimate targets, the nso has no control or they cannot really prevent it. >> rep

the front piece, the desktop for the cia and the nsa, especially if we dennis montgomery or dennis snowden or julian assigned with a massive amount of intelligence being gathered on the american people inappropriately and you even at cbs, we're fighting internally with stories being repressed and the like . so we at infowars. >>. >> one of the best definitions, one of the investment bankers looking at infowars called it the most disruptive news service opposing this leftist, hard left mainstream media consensus which has gotten to be kind of like a prophet like dissemination of corporate news. only with approved news. the storyline multinational corporations or the large entities or the democrats want advanced whereas for instance, my book "killing the deep state", i'm not going to get interviewed by abc or cbs nbc. they don't want this story told. so it will be suppressed. and info wars, disruptively in a way where i think alex jones really only has been able to challenge and threaten this mainstream media consensus, so much so they attack it, smear it. don't want anybody to cover it. mak

ou can imagine what i think of edward snowden. but you had to agree to disagree things in order to each a point where and you could say to someone, come on and give it a try. overwhelmingly, even skeptical. and i had people in the entagon, i let in the defense digital service, had hoodies on, aviator glasses on their head, earrings, it was difficult for those who look like this or have on, and so we had to e flexible in the interest of building this bridge. so it takes a little flexibility sides. the digital service and so forth. remember, we spend $80 billion a than all thes more big tech companies combined. and at the same time, we needed o do and it was mentioned by chris, everybody in the last panel. the making that transition, that we're ransition that still embarked on from the era counter terrorism and counter insurgency, which we so focused and i'm as guilty -- i mean, when i was under secretary for 2010, serving in afghanistan, you bet your life preoccupation. you got people fighting, you're all in for them. them. all in

jason leopold, the other reporter in the story said he saw the evidence is like edward snowden.him. he hasn't tweeted for three days hasn't written any tweets anyway and he isn't doing any interviews. you see -- >> tucker: may i clarify? so, always struck me as a real reporter just to be honest about it but it leopold kid has like a long history of really reckless behavior. he is the one who publicly reported and turned out to be false that karl rove had been indicted. he was fired for plagiarism. the guy is a political activist. why would you ever put someone like that on a story of this magnitude? >> precisely. and it's funny because with leopold and so many in the media, the mistakes only seem to go one way toward republicans or conservatives or trump in this case. i mean, ask yourself this question. when was the last time you saw a major media outlet make a mistake or a major error in a story about a democratic lawmaker? you know, i'm racking my brain. >> tucker: that's such a good point. >> tucker: been watching for 30 years never seen that happen not one time. will you kee

earlier this week, a group had to be rescued from snowden following an avalanche.egrees. so we are trying to emphasise the importance of preparing well before going out. make sure you got the correct equipment, the correct skills, and make sure you are aware of the actual conditions on the ground itself. we've got some fresh snow, fresh powder snow, which can cause a risk of an avalanche on the slopes. they cover 28 separate gritting roots across the county, 25,000 tonnes of salt to help make roads safer. that can be some of the most difficult decisions of whether we should or should not go out. we have a road forecast from our providers at dusk, which is actually road conditions, and it is quite intricate. we have radar so it is quite detailed really so it is quite an ask. obviously, we are trying to presalt on the side of caution really. counsel workers out in force to in south wales just a light dusting of snow in the heads of valleys. ——valleys and roads so far. so far, southeast wales and the valleys seem to have avoided any serious disruption because of the w

. >> i hope that's right although i will note in one of the things i noticed in the snowden disclosures is that you can look back and find, in essay complaining about certain platforms about how we have difficulty getting, or were having difficulty getting images out of skype and this and that and they were having trouble routing it. and it's interesting who they don't complain about, doesn't necessarily mean that's a place where they have a solution but it's a pattern to look for. i do want to get everyone 15 minutes to stretch their legs, to use the restroom, and then i will encourage you very strongly to rejoin us for our final panel on surveillance in journalism and then if you are watching from the office and have not been able to drag yourself out again it's 5:30 we will meet at the smithsonian or the fantastic exhibit so now would be a now time to say goodbye to your colleagues and join us atcato institute. i will see everyone back here in 15 minutes. >>> here some of our live coverage tuesday. and in the house returns to debate a handful of bills including legislation to reautho

the snowden is not turning has a completely different acoustic structure it's nothing like meowing for example you mainly hear it when you stroking your cats or when your cat rubs against your leg. but it can be employed in other contexts like begging for food or hide photos every cat is different they all have their own personalities and you madam also a bit like humans in that respect they have different behavioral profiles and different voices. i was about to give gabby a feline dictionary but it seems you need a new one for every single cat. even if every cat is an individual they all have one thing in common people just can't seem to get enough of them either at home or online on facebook we asked you to share your experiences with your pets and not surprisingly got lots of responses. chris neighbor told us about his furry friend ronnie who seems to be in charge. according to luke ever zero zero cats are totally convinced that they're the monsters and humans are little more than slaves. lots of you out there send him videos and photographs of your pets here are some of the ones th

previously worked at wired and was part of the pulitzer prize winning team that reported on the edward snowden disclosures and to his left or right olivia martin, rob mahoney who is the executive director of and jack gillam who is a data focused reporter palatka and has worked at the washington political and has walked worked at the washington post and has a serious technology background of some sort. i will begin by noting that i think partly because we are seeing a pattern of increased [ indiscernible - low volume ] to target reporters in leak investigations and technology has made it easy to infiltrate significant volumes of data and there is growing awareness of the need for communications security protections and also of the government's willingness to investigate journalists or to make them sort out an investigation. earlier this year we had allie watkins was targeted as part of a bleak investigation into her partner who worked on the senate committee staff and a security professional was suspected of leaking information to reporters so it was part of the investigation as to whether he l
