as someone who got my start as a community organizer i was so impressed with what sylvia has done. a few years ago, sylvia visited the united states to learn more about how americans organize to improve their communities. after she came home, she rolled up her sleeves here in belfast and decided to do something about alexandra park, some of you may know this park, for years it was thought to be the only park in europe still divided by a wall. think about that. in all of europe, you got one park that's got a wall in the middle of it. so, sylvia and her colleague knew how hard it would be to do something. they knew it was going to be hard but they tried anyway. they decided to build a gate to open that wall. and now people can walk freely. through the park. and enjoy the sun when it comes out. just like people do every day in parks all around the world. that's a small bit of progress. the fact that so far we've only got a gate open, and the wall is still up, means there's more work to do and that's the work of your generation. so as long as more walls still stand we'll need more people like sylvia. we'll need more of you. you

this slide shows how most of the electronic communications move through companies based in the united states. it says communications by an individual targeted for surveillance could easily flow through the u.s. facebook, google and apple are among the companies identified in the slides. officials at these three firms have denied giving the government direct access to their servers. we asked an expert for his take on the developments. a freelance analyst who specializes in international politics says that the disclosures offer new insights into the extent of the nsa's intelligence gathering efforts. >>> we are target to expanded to international terrorists or terrorist organizations. what is remarkable is the extent of the surveillance operations by nsa, they obtained data from u.s. internet providers by direct access to the servers of the companies covering e-mail, skype, facebook. and we have to remind that the recently obama administration repeatedly said that the current threat is home grown terrorists, so it is reasonable to suspect ordinary u.s. citizens under surveillance by the
