Lawmakers to permanently reauthorize a National Security Agency Domestic Surveillance Program the request was made in a letter to congress on thursday signed by former National Intelligence director dan coats his appeal also revealed that the controversial Call Detail Records Program had actually been suspended after collecting more information than was legally allowed to the program falls under a controversial section of the usa freedom act which is set to expire in december maupins got more. The Trump White House is speaking up about a high profile n. S. A. Program that allows the recording of americans phone calls and personal messages dan coats the outgoing director of National Intelligence is urging congress to reauthorize the law before it expires at the end of the year now dan coats has confirmed that the n. S. A. Has put the program on hold however he says its necessary to have the ability to get the Program Going again if needed as Technology Changes our adversaries trade craft and communications habits will continue to evolve and adapt in light of these dynamic environments the administration supports reauthorization of this provision as well a coalition of privacy and Civil Liberties advocates sent a letter of their own to the u. S. House Judiciary Committee and said of renewing the program they called for meaningful surveillance reform the governments implementation of the program further demonstrates both the privacy threats posed by the program and its lack of efficacy it is highly concerning that it took almost 3 years to detect the fact that the n. S. A. Was collecting records even beyond the broad authorization provided under the program the n. S. A. Should not be permitted to resume this program now the freedom act gives the n. S. A. The ability to build a network with the Telecommunications Companies to record the phone calls and personal messages not just of the suspects but of anyone that they are in contact with. And voted to allow it to proceed for the. I will vote against that it is better than the usa patriot act but it doesnt go far enough in my mind in protecting all subjects we find that were spending the resources for no benefit in terms of Public Safety in real. Terms of freedom and liberty and this is why i voted against the freedom act when they said it would fix the problems inherent in the patriot act just stop spying on innocent americans instead of trying to make it legal. When the freedom act came down it was a way to try to ease americans and say no no were going to make sure we work out the kinks but i think americans know better than that because thats what dan coats is saying here is that anything the n. S. A. And sometimes the n. S. A. Just gets surveillance information is just hundreds and pages of nothing and theyve actually come out saying that it doesnt really help resolve or solve any terrorism or investigate terrorism activities so because of this though now they can send out or they can decimate that disseminate that information out to the cia to other players to the f. B. I. And to people who might not have the knowledge of who really is a threat which is going to put a lot of americans at risk certainly these privacy violations so yes youre allowed to surveil youre allowed to keep your country safe from terrorism from these kinds of acts but at the rate that it infringes on the privacy rights of people who have absolutely no known ties to terrorism thats where it gets a little bit tricky u. S. Intelligence agencies were accused of misusing the foreign Intelligence Surveillance of us to go into collusion between trump and russia back into the 64. James code we. Had james said he knew the allegations used as the basis for securing a warrant to spawn a forward from providers that were uncorroborated the money was sent to the sky. Pages talking to. It was just a complete myth these complete lies were misleading the American Public and just created such you know such problems for. The trumpet in this story and i think its just terrible and the allegations that the f. B. I. Were worried about when they read this amazing dossier by the forward against you what was just so preposterous. That i had these meetings with these senior russians which people i had never met in my entire life i mean is this completely fabricated completely made up ok well we have the miller inquiry now weve got the horowitz inquiry just how does it differ to the attorney general the now its really general bilbo whos also investigating of the alleged russian conspiracy allegations were created well i think its important work that theyre doing and i just hope that the people that theyre talking to. Actually give the truth now because they were just giving complete lies and basing it on false. Misinformation that was being fed to them and they just pumped it into the system and unfortunately it just needs it was just complete falsehood. Now if she was congresswoman. Announced that she wont be traveling to the occupied west bank to see a grandmother the democratic to be banned from entering israel was given last minute permission to visit on humanitarian grounds by television so he said she wont be silenced and that visiting the country would undermine everything she stands for. But a number of my colleagues theyre talking about a 17. Year. Old little girl hes. Working the story for the. Television original decision to bar access to the representatives came at Donald Trumps request it was then defended on account of their support for a boycott against israel countries on president had actions have triggered an angry response from many in the u. S. Israel doesnt advance its case as a tolerant democracy or and the u. S. Ally by barring elected members of congress from a visit in because of their political views i strongly condemn this decision by the Israeli Government which undermines the ability for our 2 allied countries to have the frank open and it times difficult discussions that we must have in order to ensure israel remains secure and democratic nation israels are now of entreaty congressman tea leaves and omar is beneath the dignity of the great state of israel however is worth noting the critics of israel can also face penalties when the us itself ever since the anti boycott that was passed 2 years ago individuals or Companies Want to do business with the u. S. State departments abound if they boycott trade with israel it was designed to combine boycott divestment and sanctions efforts targeting israel critics of the legislation argue that it violates the u. S. Constitution which clearly states that political boycotts are fully protected by the 1st amendment were told to the Green Party Candidate for the new York City Council money health who told us there are clear double standards at work here. I think it is a double standard but actually whats interesting about this is that the fact that there is sort of this retaliation is tarnished meant for individuals that are joining. The thoughts of violation of. Every american i mean were allowed to join any or all or all politically with issues that i think that you. Really are more also elements. That friends. And so on most of. Us justice departments unveiled a warrant for the seizure of the iranian or grace one it comes just a day after authorities in the british territory gibraltar release that detained supertanker the war room says the vessel all the oil on board and nearly 1000000. 00 in cash and subject to forfeiture based on violations of the International Emergency economic powers act the doc would also cites Bank Fraud Money Laundering and terrorism related statutes it alleges a scheme to unlawfully access the u. S. Financial system to support a licit shipments to syria from around by the Islamic Revolution regard which has been designated a terrorist organization by washington previously irans top diplomat sharply criticize the u. S. For attempting to block the release of the ship which was 1st seized by British Royal marines off the coast of the last month. Having failed to accomplish its objectives through its economic terrorism including depriving Cancer Patients of medicine the us attempted to abuse the legal system to steal our property on the high seas this piracy attempt is indicative of trumpet ministrations contempt for the law on thursday the u. S. Justice department made a last minute up location to gibraltar ask again not to release the grace one which was accused of attempting to illegally ship oil to syria but the Supreme Court in the british overseas territory decided to release the vessel anyway and forwards crewmembers the tank is expected to set sail soon to broadstairs chief minister says the detention was lifted after receiving formal written assurances from. The grace one is therefore now released from detention under the sanctions act by operational law on the 30th of august i received written assurances from the republic of iran that if we leased the destination of the grace one would not be an entity that is subject to European Union sanctions i welcome that assures. Iranian authorities deny that the grace were shipping over syria in breach of e. U. Sanctions 2 weeks our vessel was impounded run seized a british flag tanker in the strait of hormuz claiming it had violated international the us then later announced its intention to create a Naval Coalition combat so no rain in aggression in the strait middle east analysts cover fresh air we spoke to us about it thinks the u. S. May have overplayed its hand with its british allies. Very skeptical that the u. K. And gibraltar officials will heed the call by the u. S. Car meant to continuing pounding the tank here and you know despite their legal fight thought it is a safe bet that given the fact that iran is also holding a british tank this is part of a quid pro quo whereby the release of the iranian tank it will be followed shortly immediate future by the release of the british tanker held by iran we know that. Garmin and their boys john saw as well as those in gibraltar are. You know annoyed by this lingering crisis and they want to wash their hands of it and the u. S. Is trying every trick in the book to lingard this crisis and to keep you as part of this so called my time. Escort for the oil tankers passes through the strait of hormuz and they use those worries that once this crisis between iran and the u. K. Is resolved then the u. K. Will pull out and yours will be a coalition one. Had to germanys federal police has voiced concern about rising levels of far right hate speech shes warned it could be leading the formation of new extremist groups and terrorist cells in the country. For several years now with fluctuations we have seen an increase in violent politically motivated crimes coming from the far right we are also seeing a risk of terrorist groups forming German Authorities registered 8600. 00 far out offenses in the 1st half of 2019 thats 900 more than june the same period in 2018 despite that theyve only been 23 arrests you may be surprised to hear some say the numbers dont reflect the scale of the problem though because of the way crimes are recorded german media is point a pointed out for instance that the murder of politician walter lupo wasnt included in the latest data he was a politician for Michael Americal c. D. U. Party known for his probe migrant stance he received Death Threats and was killed with a gun shot in his head at his home in the beginning of june his killer is believed to have a far right views is a quick look at germanys problems with the right extremism right now. Although the police have said theyre working hard to tackle far right extremism martindales of the left body doesnt believe enough being done. And the problem is that the right wing the extreme right wing. For violence they do lists as well as the enemy for example busy a group called the north korean specialist extreme right wing group and they had a list of 25000 people who politics persons who do activism for refugees we have are seeing in germany which say that the for its use of the line on the right that means they dont really know what the right wing and the real extreme right wing doing and during the last years did a lot of movie decision organisation especially in the extremist and militaristic way and civil war the increase of. The crimes of the right wing b. S. Well we. Know you people of color are left wing people being in danger or abused by right wing people in the us you say 50 in the morning moscow time good morning of his joy just what i had there in the program or Something Like raising a glass to maybe a Better Future the homegrown should double vodka i mean to raise money for the exclusion zone but just how easy is that going to be the swallow find out after the break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business im show business ill see that. Thank you and good morning girls had a legal challenge thrown out after she was rejected from the countrys best known boys choir says could taylor aborts. Nobody likes rejection and no one wants to hear that not good enough but it seems for one family in germany no just isnt option picture a 9 Year Old Girl who just wanted to sing her mother says shes got the voice of an angel and that the best place in the city for her training is the bilin state and cathedral choir set up in the 15th century its one of the oldest and most renowned choirs in the country and its pretty much just got 2 rules you have to be over 5 to addition check and youve got to be a male ha undeterred the god apply twice and was rejected both times but try try try again 3rd time lucky she got back from all dition before the door was once again slammed in her face but the choir is atom and gender has got nothing to do with. The acoustic pattern of a choir is part of its artistic freedom the rejection was not predominantly about her gender and she would have been successful had her voice matched the desired sound characteristics of a boys choir out unsurprisingly of the decision struck a wrong chord with the girls mother who is now taking the choir to court over gender inequality she says shes got a letter from the dean of belinda university of the arts which the choir is affiliated to and which is threatened that aggarwal never sing in a boys choir also argue that as an institution receiving state funds rejecting female singers contravenes germanys gender Discrimination Laws now many have weighed in on the side of the choir saying that mixing it would bring an end to its traditional sound nobody has said girls can sing as well but the tumble is different and judging this should be left to the musicians and musicologists anyone who wants to misunderstood gender equality here is a cultural essence this standoff between gender equality and autistic freedom isnt exactly new Music Professionals and academics alike have been. To painting the anatomical differences of boys and girls voices for years saying the former has a purity the latin just cant attain and just last year the famous british the promising a Leslie Garrett called out all boys choirs for being stuck in the past backward looking traditionalist argue that there is an exclusive purity in the boys voice but i think thats just nonsense its an excuse to hand on male privilege and perpetuate a dominant male gender stereotype and male power but not ready to dump the carrot here because quire rolled out a very diplomatic arent we recognise different tasks to contribute to the tower female singers make to the choral scene here at cambridge were especially proud to follow mixed voice choir kings voices which was formed 20 years ago precisely to give women students the opportunity to sing choral music in the chapel we all know parents will do anything for that children but trying to shake up an institution that hasnt changed in over half a millennia now about dedication. To the sites of Nuclear Disasters are rare is typically best avoided but a group of intrepid british scientists have not only been working in and around the exclusion zone theyve also started producing vodka of grain grown its called atomic vodka and has been named its the 1st ever spirit produced in an area affected by radioactive pollution we spoke to professor jim smith from the university of portsmouth about it he says the spirit is completely safe and has been tested in world class the burra treat. For what we did we set up an experimental sailcloth in the main exclusion zone about 20 kilometers south of the power station and its not one of the most radioactive parts of the exclusion zone but obviously theres some contamination there and so we look 1st at the transfer of radioactivity into crops and we grew and so then when we cemented the grain and distilled it to produce alcohol we. As we expected because any chemist knows that when you to still something you leave a lot of the impurities in the waste product and not in the distilling distillates alcohol so what we found was that when we measured the distillate alcohol we couldnt with very sophisticated equipment we couldnt find any radioactivity except for natural carbon 14 which would get in any and the spirit. The disaster the worst the World History shocked the soviet union more than 30 years ago course almost 600000 people were affected by the catastrophe at the Nuclear Plant it is thought that 4000 people have died just with again says the initiative is not about grabbing headlines but promoting economic recovery now in the area. What we want to do is make make money in order to help develop that area and support the communities that have been affected its a long road you know 30 years after the chernobyl accident and there are still issues particularly around the perception of radiation risks and people worried about the radiation perhaps when we scientists think the shouldnt they insert things informs not point of view to show that we can make a Consumer Product that hopefully people will want to drink so i have to say this is technically this is not a vodka its more like in 30 high quality moonshine than what were producing is something using the more traditional way thats been done in ukraine belarus russia poland for many centuries as well our distil that he thinks and i agree that its a good way of doing it because it keeps more of the flavor of the original grain and weave that which added a expert tasting and they like the flavor. As if and i was so much for a course in our site our tea dot com here most of the saturday morning commute to a 24 in the morning when the rest that they were watching have a great weekend. Its seemed wrong. But old rules just dont hold. Any new belief yet to shape our disdain becomes to advocate and in games from an equals betrayal.

Its really hard there are no jobs and you see thats got kids that ask and as a parent. I can come up with arguments and theres a lot of conflict within the game and between the 2 teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of them money is made.
