2:01 am
a government stepping up efforts to spy on its citizens with a new defense software able to predict people's future behavior and locations however with the program only using data submitted voluntarily via social networks emerge unscathed when it comes to claims of privacy violations as she is again a trick on reports. those of you who are using social networks will find this interesting the world's fifth largest defense contractor raytheon a multinational for him based in massachusetts came up with a software that can map out your life and be able to predict your moves your behavior based on the information that you provide on websites like facebook twitter or foursquare the guardian has obtained a video. where a raytheon staffer explains and shows how it works the program it's called someone already branded it for spite it's just a few clicks and it creates diagrams chart maps showing who you've communicated
2:02 am
with most online your associations and relationships places where you check in most you know over twenty five million people use this app called foursquare to alert friends of their whereabouts so the program uses that and also the photos that people take on smartphones often have latitude and longitude details automatically embedded in them so this wired program at a quick or two can analyze all that data and as the gentleman in the video claims it can roughly predict where to find you at a given time and potentially your behavior based on your interests so this firm that developed the software a major defense contractor has acknowledged that the technology was shared with the u.s. government as part of a joint research and development effort to help build the national security system capable of analyzing quote unquote trillions of entities from cyberspace that reminds me of the conversation that i had with william binney a mass imitation of spying software expert who had worked for the national security

agency for decades and who told us that the government is spying on people on a much larger scale and they're building social networks is part of it take a listen they were building social networks. who who is communicating and with whom inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody of every us citizen was being compiled. over time so they're taking from one company alone a roughly three hundred twenty million records a day that's so over time that that's probably cumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years mr binney blew the whistle on this n.s.a. program saying it is a blatant violation of the constitution but with this riot software one can argue that they can see information that individuals have already chosen to make public they put it out there and most people know that privacy safeguards that for example facebook provides don't hold water really and yet people choose to share so if you don't want someone to be able to map out your entire life and to be able to potentially predict your behavior stop checking in everywhere and turn off location

circumstances under which one of its operatives apparently found his death on another level it's government versus press story and the press here has been struggling against various government agencies and gradually has been able to leave at least some of the secrecy surrounding this story there was a gag order here apparently and defer this was the case and one cannot confirm it independently from israel but again embarrassing as it is one has to rely on foreign sources if that is true and a gag order was signed by a judge then one would have been subject to prosecution if one were to violate it so apparently even though the israeli press is far from being lazy for the last two years it has waited passively for someone abroad in this case

australia to break the story. three police officers have been killed and six more injured in an explosion in russia's southern republic of dagestan early in the morning a suicide bomber blew himself up at a row checkpoint while his car was being searched the police presence has been stepped up in the region with authorities looking bilbo's behind their target all vehicles going to and from the city across i view it where the incident occurred are being tracked now russia's interior ministry says the funked seriously the fact that security forces stop these suspects vehicle has prevented an even greater tragedy among civilians the incident happened just a week after special services killed the last remaining terrorist involved in the twenty ten bombing of the moscow metro that left forty one dead. and ultimately burst of desperation a man has died after setting fire to himself at a french job center is the latest self-immolation incident in unemployment. the
