Hello, good afternoon. The former American intelligence | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
analyst, Edward Snowden, has been charged with espionage and theft by | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
prosecutors in the United States. He fled to Hong Kong last month and | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
leaked details of secret surveillance programmes. The latest | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
documents, published today by the Guardian newspaper, suggest that | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
GCHQ, the British government agency, is collecting data on hundreds of | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
:00:47. | :00:50. | ||
millions of emails and phone calls every day. Emily Buchanan reports. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
Every day we create vast streams of electronic traffic. Billions of | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
phone calls, e-mails an internet searches. Now there are allegations | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
that Britain is the world leader in monitoring them. For the last 18 | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
months, GCHQ has apparently been tapping into vast amounts of our | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
personal digital communications. They store it for 30 days, so it can | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
can be sifted and analysed. They are said to be sharing the data with | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
America's National Security Agency. The revelations came from the NSA | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
whistleblower, Edward Snowden, believed to be in hiding in Hong | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Kong. The US has filed spying charges against him. The officials | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
in the UK argue that blanket monitoring is legal. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
The crucial question is not how much data could they collect but what can | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
they get access to? Is it an intrusion on the privacy? There are | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
billions of e-mails going around. Do you think that the Americans have | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
nothing better to do, than go on fishing expeditions, that someone | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
may be involved in something. It does not work that way. Critics | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
worry about the surveillance of our private communications. | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
It is the kind of information that could be abuse abused to blackmail | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
us, to intrude on our freedom of conscious, to trued on private and | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
family life. Who wants to live in a country where you never know if you | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
are being watched? So if there is a new way to ensure security or | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
invasion of privacy, the allegations will provoke intense debate. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
The Labour leader Ed Miliband has warned his party that a Labour | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
government would not resort to extra borrowing to reverse any cuts | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
announced by the government in next week's spending review. Ed Miliband | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
told activists that the party would have to face the hard reality of | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Britain's economic situation. You think it will be different at | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
the next election. I don't want anyone to be under illusions about | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
thament the next Labour government will have to plan in 2015 on falling | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
departmental spending. Our starting point in 2015/16, will be that we | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
will not be able to reverse the cuts and on current day-to-day spending | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
unless we find the money from savings elsewhere or extra revenue, | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
not from more borrowing. Our Political Correspondent Alan | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
Soady is me in the studio. Why is he saying this now? He will have seen | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
the opinion polls that suggest that on the one hand the party looks | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
lying it is ahead overall but when it comes to the question who the | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
voters trust to run the economy, polls suggested that it is not the | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
Labour Party. So his solution to regain that confidence is to have | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
this speech today, to make this promise, or rather, to specify he | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
would not be able to do much with the cuts that are in motion if he | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
were to win the election in 2015. It is not all doom and gloom. He is | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
saying that there are historic precedents of s things even when | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
money is tight. Such as paying down debts, but also setting up things | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
like the National Health Service. So he is trying to convince voters he | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
is the man to take charge of the economy, the Conservatives, though, | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
say that the voters will not belief him. That they don't believe he is | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
strong enough to deliver. There is growing concern for | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
thousands of people stranded in remote areas of northern India, | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
following floods and landslides. More than 550 people are known to | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
have died. Rescue workers say that many are without shelter. | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
It has emerged an ambulance carrying Nelson Mandela to hospital two weeks | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
ago broke down during the journey. A spokesperson said that the vehicle | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
had engine trouble, that the former President was transferred to another | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
ambulance. He insisted that Nelson Mandela was in no danger. There have | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
been claims that Nelson Mandela was forced to wait for 40 minutes in | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
freezing temperatures. The Brazilian President, Dilma | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
Rousseff, has announced a series of reforms in the attempt to end | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
nationwide antigovernment protest. Dilma Rousseff promised to improve | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
the public transport and health services. The demonstrations that | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
began over fare rises in Sao Paulo have grown into national protests | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
over a range of issues from corruption to the rising in prices. | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
The protests in Brazil have been going on for another night. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
24 hours after the million-man demonstrations, Dilma Rousseff | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
announced a series of public spending reforms in a prime time | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
broadcast to try to calm down the crowds. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
We are listening but we will not put up with violence. This should be | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
peaceful, a free democracy, and we will continue therefore, to build | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
our great country together. This video from Rio show what is the | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
activists consider rough treatment. The President ed police action. A | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
group gathered to protest at what they consider to be heavy-handed | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
policing. Viral videos of demonstrators being beaten, sparked | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
the mass action. They were drawing bombs and there | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
were explosions and pieces flying everywhere. We were hurt in the face | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
and hands. Protests have been breaking out | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
across Brazil. Spread byword off mouth and social networks, this is a | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
high-end neighbourhood of Rio, and this is the governor's house. Many | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
people are still not convinced by the President's speech. More, bigger | :06:45. | :06:51. |
