i like that edward snowden as well as president i'm i'm a fan of that how we are going to thank you so much for taking the time to be here thanks for having me as good they are finally we go to redacted correspondent naomi care avani for some mind blowing oh no is on pandemics. the worst part of a pandemic in my opinion is everything gets cancelled movies concerts schools church bars get shut down however if you lived during the 1918 influenza pandemic most things were cancelled too. you still had a war you could go to world war one it was like a game of risk with higher stakes so they understand that the influenza virus of 1900 the deadliest disease in history which wiped out more people than the war itself really came at an inconvenient time for america i mean business was booming thanks to dropping on europe and the flu tended to kill younger people in army camps and trenches and on boats deploying soldiers but it's not like we're going to cancel a war like a 1st date or something and let some virus do all the killing i don't think so so as not to slow the war effort the american

good it was the same question our government asked us after the september 11th attacks except edward snowden pointed out that government surveillance programs intended to stop terrorism were not only overarching but as successful against terrorism as your bandana is at protecting you against the coronavirus yet that hasn't stopped the government from becoming steve urkel that's been waltzing in through with a locked door without permission to our data for years and just like the winslow's privacy advocates have been trying to shut it ever sets and one was so blowers like edward snowden pointed out that our intelligence community violated our civil liberties the best response u.s. intelligence leaders could muster for the public was. so when it comes to the question why wouldn't you want to sacrifice some of your personal data for greater good the key word here is some because we can't leave the door open for irreversible privacy violations and i doubt any of us want our data in the hands of silicon valley companies and government agencies that have already proven veil abuse it because there'

recent times so it's quite a quite a bit of coverage so how would you compare it to the revelations of snowden did we have greater access at least according to those revelations than we did then i think doubt we do yes because of the internet the because the internet and the reach of the internet and the people who are communicating on the internet yes we have great much greater reach in terms of people access to countries and so on because they've implanted you know device hardware and software in switches and servers and and that works and computers around the world i mean at one point snowden some of the stowed material said they had over 50000 implants in the world . network so so you think that from at least what is known released the reach is actually greater yes i do. to what extent do you coming out of the intelligence community do you feel there is i mean let's talk about argentina so during the dirty war dissidents trade union leaders student activists communists mountain arrows they were all swept up and killed by the time hunt by the military dictatorship. and yet we stood by and d

in in switches and servers and and that works and computers around the world i mean at one point snowden some of the stowed material said they had over 50000 implants in the world wide network so so you think that from at least one known release the reach is actually greater yes i do. to what extent do you coming out of the intelligence community do you feel there is i mean let's talk about argentina so during the dirty war dissidents trade union leaders student activists communists mountain arrows they were all swept up and killed by the order to try and hunt the by the military dictatorship. and yet we stood by and did nothing. as they. carried out one of the most egregious human and later of course or earlier we had seen pinochet in $73.00 which again they must've known completely about to what extent do you feel there's a responsibility to step in moments like that or is is essentially these people and we're talking about probably tens of thousands of people are these people just going to be sacrificed for our national self-interest well i always maintain that intelligence has to at

austria 15 to 20 years things have gone seriously wrong at the richo in all sorts of ways because of snowden thank you very much for joining us live here not so you can. campaign us accord on the home office to suspend the minimum income visa requirement to avoid families being ripped apart during the pandemic charity groups claim that the current requirements could force some applicants to work against government social distancing guidelines or face deportation currently applicants in their respective partners must earn at least $800000.00 pounds a year to meet the requirements for a spousal visa but activists point out the reduced working hours during the pandemic will make it impossible for some families to comply in response the home office has said it's keeping the requirements under review. these are unprecedented times and we have already introduced measures to support people with immigration status including automatic extensions of visas and modifying immigration requirements to ensure people are not unduly affected by circumstances beyond their control we are keeping family immigrat

that's what they're coming for now, that's what they're asking us to give up. >> brian, snowden is righthe security concerns, handing over information to the government and assuming we can trust this government or any government, it can be troubling to people. >> reporter: absolutely. and i think it really just boils down to who do you trust more, private companies who we give information to every day, or the federal government seeking access to this data? in both cases we're talking about what measures are acceptable in a public health crisis and a national emergency, jake. >> all right, brian fung, thank you so much, appreciate it. >>> spain is announcing the country is conducting a clinical trial aiming to prevent the further spread of coronavirus among their health care workers. they're calling it the biggest study of its kind. about 22,000 health workers in spain have been infected. it accounts for about 15% of the total number of cases in spain. france saw its deadliest day yet in the coronavirus pandemic, with 562 reported dead in just the last 24 hours. the death toll in that cou

google or whoever we might have a repeat of the kind of scandals we've had such as the snowden revelations ok data and that what really decrease public trust and confidence that will lead to people not using the app installing the at taking the phone with them when they go outside of the house and so forth so i think you have to look forward to it i know that we're all firefighting it's an emergency but it is really good practice to try and look forward to preventing those kinds of privacy scandals which the public is really aware of now i think. ok thanks so much good to get your thoughts on the ok. well there are warnings in the u.k. that more people are being pushed into poverty because of the pandemic charities are trying to provide for the growing number of families who need assistance lawrence lee has the story from london. in an affluent part of one of the world's richest city is a sense of how even before this new world the wealth will share so badly. all of this has been donated by people whose children no longer need it for those so poor they can't afford it themselves before the

>> i would never use the word stealing and i would be quick to add six years after the snowden disclosures there is a lot we still don't know when we may never know and that may be appropriate in certain respects with national security and secrets but we do talk in the book about the coverage of the "washington post" in 2013 to talk about the reports that suggest the us government either by itself or the british government is tapping into cables land or sea bass to access data and me have been happening outside use of warrants and then rule of law. was explicit that something that concerned us. we were explicit what the white house and president obama to say there needs to be some refor reform, and there has been in the six years since. so i think it is good generally speaking we have more than we could address. >>host: do you feel microsoft management of data is secure today from prying eyes? >> i would say the answer is ye yes. and the reason is in part because of technological changes that microsoft and others have made. the answer to one disclosure was to have stronger encryption basic

let's face the facts since 911 individual rights have eroded in the us abuses were exposed by edward snowden as a reminder but that doesn't mean that things can't be done differently like now in the fight against the coronavirus civil liberty advocates have some suggestions 1st data driven decisions must be made by health officials not other government bodies such as law enforcement in addition surveillance tools need to be justified of clear purpose and its potential impact in the fight against covert $1000.00 must be established to wing it out against its costs which include its effect on individual rights 3rd tight restrictions should be outlined to how and by whom the data can be used and finally the data collection should expire when the virus goes away so should related surveillance these measures are not only reasonable but doable in fact right now engineers and other experts from around the globe are working on using smartphone technology to track the spread of the corona virus while respecting privacy all things considered technology can be a very important tool in times of emergenc

of thing that the cia do bug people's conversations with their lawyers i think you know i had word snowden show rebirth sort of a. activity by cia or n.s.a. is certainly possible and does indeed happen i can't so i cannot of course speak to any direct knowledge or apne but there is certainly within the earth you and capability of either also organizations well you wouldn't be able to tell me. in the. helping the enemy that's another thing the barrister for the united states of america versus julian sanchez said and he said they're also the official secrets act trumps the un charter and the european human rights act what do you make about this helping the enemy charge i think again their past to go into the enemy there and i think it's quite disingenuous of the state to make any sort of claims about any sort of harm because if you eventually years since to america to face trial under the espionage act the government doesn't have to prove any sort of harm for them to do so now all bolster extradition i think just shows that this is a political prosecution what it's like what the soviet union

i first was going to try the how —— heide snowden but my brain works, i'd tried everest andi my brainest and i don't know if i will regret it or not but i suppose he will find out this week. the curveball is i'm doing it all with one leg pretty much because it only got one functioning leg. so that portland does not know what it is and for, i don't think. it is certainly a tall order. mount everest is nearly 9000 metres high while ed's staircase is just over three metres so he will have to go up it 2783 times, around 89,000 steps to reach the summit. he has raised money for charity in previous crimes and with this one he is supporting three medical causes including the nhs. they saved my life three years ago and they are saving a lot of lives at the moment. i was resuscitated three times after my accident and hopefully i can repay them in some small way over the next four days. ed says he hopes to become the first quadriplegic to climb the real everest but for the next few days, the top of the world lies at the top of the stairs. and we end with some sad news from the world of sport to

one day a decrease or 2 days or 3 days but at least 2 to 3 weeks that's consistent decrease that snowden then is the right time to consider easing of some of these restrictions but certainly one cannot depend at this point on antibodies because we don't even know if having n.t. mary is going to be protective against getting the corona virus infection at some point if these matters are all moving in the right direction it's the way in which communities and states and so on are reopened is also very important to what gets reopened 1st what happens next and so on and it's really important to keep measuring these metrics as you move ahead because you may have to pull back from some of the easing that's already been put in place. after weeks of getting daily press briefings on the coronavirus it looks like president trying for scale them back the white house says he brands have to focus more on efforts to jumpstart the economy which has been hit hard by the pandemic bill schneider is a professor of policy government and international affairs at george mason university a thinks trump is limiti

a decrease or 2 days or 3 days but at least $2.00 to $3.00 weeks that's consistent decrease that snowden then is the right time to consider easing of some of these used to actions but certainly one cannot get banned at this point and antibodies because we don't even know if having antibody is going to be protective against getting the corona virus infection or often even years in the metrics that you mentioned that countries in asia who thought they had things under control they're now seeing a 2nd wave of infection some of them and presumably that's likely in the us too so how does one reconcile that with trying to reopen. well i think that at some point if these matters are all moving in the right direction in the way in which communities and states and so reopen is also very important to what gets reopened 1st what happens next and so on and it's really important to keep measuring these metrics as you move ahead because you may have to pull back from some of the easing that's already been put in place you also have to at the same time be expanding the testing and expanding the contact

amended version of that law is still with us and people like national security whistleblower edward snowden has been arrested under it. but the law of 1917, the espionage act that year, among other things gave the government the power to censor the press. remember the magazine "the masses" that i talked about? its issue, august 1917, was last. that issue is printed, but it was banned from the u.s. mail. why? because sensors objected to several pieces of text and several cartoons. here's one of the cartoons they objected to and thought subversive. the liberty bell crumbling. so, the best magazine in the country was forced to cease publishing. years, thext four spring of 1917 through the spring of 1921, more than 400 issues of american newspapers or magazines were banned from the mail from 75 different obligations. in many cases, that meant the publication shutting down entirely. was america's chief press center? it's the guy in this picture. albert s burleson. he was the postmaster general and the law gave him the power to censor what went through the mail. he was a former congressman from t

mishandling of epidemics and corruption and again sions and is joined by the journalism self christopher snowden and he told me what has led him to question the world health organizations compensate c. i don't dispute that trump is certainly looking to divert attention from his own handling of the cover 19 but the show's handling of it has been really appalling and i think there is ample evidence now to show that they have been complicit or at least at the very least gullible in the way they that accept it what's been coming out of beijing particularly in december january and even into february that we're still questioning whether human to human contact was was happening with this disease they were praising china for its transparency of all things and also for its general ending and wing of the disease so he's been utterly incompetent and it's approach our attitude is rather puzzling but whatever the reason behind it it has not this interest played the level of confidence that we expect and he's not the 1st time it was just a one off the not it would be perhaps be less of a concern but he also d

i was first going to consider climbing the height of snowden, but then the way my brain works, i decidedthis week! the curveball is i'm doing it all with one leg, pretty much, cos i've only got one functioning leg. so that poor leg doesn't know what it's in for, i don't think, yet. it's certainly a tall order. mount everest is nearly 9000m high, while's ed staircase is just over 3m. so he will have to go up it 2783 times — around 89,000 steps — to reach the summit. he's raised money for charity in previous climbs, and with this one he is supporting three medical cause, including the nhs. the nhs saved my life three years ago and they're saving a lot of people's lives at the moment, so i was resuscitated three times after my accident. hopefully i can repay them in some small way over the next four days. ed says he hopes to become the first quadriplegic to climb the real everest, but for the next few days, the top of the world lies at the top of the stairs. andy swiss, bbc news. sending him loads and loads of luck, we will be monitoring your progress over the next four days, eddie jackson.
