Joining me now, she is a Senior Policy Council with access. Good to have you back. What are these companies, read and it google i guess a few others what are they saying to us that there is now a better way available to secure our data . They are saying we are going to make it easier for you, which is what the public wants to hear. That they wont only be able to get the tools to keep the Communications Safe and secure, and away from unauthorized viewers such as possibly the government, but then let be easy, and integrated into the tools they know how to use. So these have always been available . They are just now making more of those tools avail and easier for us to access . So for example, end to end encrypted emate. It means that i send a message, and nobody other than the person who receives the message basically can open it. So the person who the service the transmits that message, doesnt have access to the content. This isnt the Standard Operating Procedure for cloud e Mail Service Providers the eMail Service Providers that we all really commonly use. Like google has said, earlier this week, as part of reset the net, they are going to incorporate whats this been a difficult to use technology. People wanting to steam identities not only from governments but not even gag almost be able to get access to that information. Cause i am really slow here, and i know people watching are slow foo, give me the example with the email, and how this new end to end Encryption Works with the email i am tiling you right now. Sure. So you lock that email. On your computer. If you are sending it when it leaves your computer it is locked and that email message cannot be unlocked until the person you send it to accesses it through their account. So from the time it leaves your compute story the time it is received by the person you expect to receive it, it stays in an encrypted format. Okay, i think i get that, glad you added that last line. Why are these Tech Companies coming forward with this, is it because that they really are in between a rock and a hard place . They really want to be out of this information loop where the government comes looking for your information. Is etch in some cases before that to reveal more information about when government, the u. S. And governments around the world, come to them and request information. And they are under gag orders they are under court orders they are not able to reveal a lot. Keeping the information away from the companies will mean they dont have access to it at all. When do we get access . This end to end stuff. Sure. When does this start . Right now, google the end to end, is in demo phase. They are asking to look at it, to vet it, to make sure it is secure. And im thinking we will see that later this year, other Companies Read it, word press, those companies are releasing more that can be uses right now. They are announced it today, releasing it this week. We are seeing more and more tools available. All right, appreciate it. Thank you. The cost of rising child care.

We will look at the prisoners still detained there. Bergda helicoptersl. Why he says she is weak. Well, the white house is trying to calm anger over the release of Army Sergeant bow bergdahl. The five men exchanged for bergdahl were not cleared for release, unlike 78 other remaining detainees stilt inside get mow. In miami joined us now, natasha with bergdahls release, what are attorneys and detainees saying to the extent that the detainees are saying anything, do they see this as a promising sign for those still behind bars. Tony, the detainee attorneys and advocates i spoke to say they do view this as a positive sign. For the men who are still waiting tor transferred from guantanamo, many of them waiting since George W Bush was in office, one of them is a brettish resident. 12yearold ferris was born the day his father was with transferred to Guantanamo Bay. I dont know how it feels to be protected and cared for by a dad, but he is a very special dad. The 47yearold british resident has been waited to be transferred since 27. David cameron has even spoken to president obama about releasing him. His Attorney Says the delay is due to the fact that he wants to return to london where his wife and four children live, and the u. S. Government wants to send him back to his native saudi arare yeah. Unfortunately we dont know what he will face. He will probably end up in the rehabilitation center, four men released from Guantanamo Bay, theres no one that will hear his voice. There are a lot of people that will hear his voice from london. More than half of the men currently here, have been cleared for a transfer. In order for that to happen, the government has to determine the detainees dont pose a significant security risk, and has to find a country willing to take them. It is estimated that more than 17 of the men released were involved in terrorist or insurgent activities upon their release, somagists say their Research Shows the governments figure is inflated. A Spokesman Says we would like to make the transfers at a faster clip, but verifying the security assurances is not only time consuming but it is difficult, when so few are willing to accept the detainees. His attorney, Courtney Bush says she is encouraged by the release of the five delaneys in exchange for beau burg call. He says his health continues to deteriorate. His legal team has asked a judge to release him. She says once released he needs to get treatment, all the he wants is to spend time with his family and help others. He wants to work on behalf of people who dont have a voice, people who are held in black holes around the world. People who dont have justice or freedom. After seven years of waiting for his freedom, amers attorney say he is beginning to lose home. The pace of the transfers has slowed according to the human rights group, from 2011 to the present, the number of transfers was three timed less than the number in 2009, and 2010. Okay nata sha thank you. Max abrams is with us. Professor, good to see you, thank you for your time 27 tell me why you believe the burg call taliban swap was with is a mistake . I do think it is a mistake, as you know there are 149 detainees and over half of them have been cleared. 78 of them, it would appear, could be released and not presumably pose a threat to the United States. Buzz these five, they are the most dangerous. How do you know that . They were not cleared. What makes you think that . Why do i say that, because if you look at their backgrounds in terms of what was with their previous involvement with the taliban, they assumed high level positions, some of them were involved in intel, some of them were involved in training some of them had close operational ties and some of them had blood on their hands of waging campaigns against the local population, and so these are not exactly the kinds of beam that we would expect to be released particularly, when we are still retaining 50 over 50 of the population which hasnt indeed been cleared. A threat to the local population, you would have to agree isnt the population of new york city, so if these guys reengage, which you say is likely, wouldnt they be more likely to work toward an attack of cabbing bowl afghanistan than new york city . Arent they more of a threat. Yes, i certainly understand the nature of your question, theres a big debate a broader debate that touches on your point, which is how bill of a threat does the taliban boaz to the United States, because the taliban is mainly Insurgent Group that does use terrorism, but against the local population, you are right, this is not al quaida. I think that when the director of National Intelligence codes these cases in terms of whether they reengage in terrorism, or violence, it doesnt in terms of the nationallalty of the target. An attack against the afghan military, or the u. S. Mill fair, or civilians etc. , would all be coded as a case of terrorist. Here is the point i am driving at, this is a president who has fairly consistently, taken out team ban and al quaida leaders with drone strikes. I have a list of the leadership here, high value targets here who have been taken out with drone strikes. You cant really be worried about these five, can you . It is ironic, because people often ask what is his legacy, and he has been called the drone president , because under his stewardship, the rate of drone attacks has gone way up. And yet he also very responsible for four high level taliban leaders. So there are a certain inconsistency about how does obama push the Drone Campaign but at the same time, aggressively release detainees many of whom have blood on their hands. That are the kind of targets that the drones are shooting at. Why cant it just be as similar as what the president stated he saw an opportunity to get an american pow in what seems to be Failing Health out of taliban hands and out of afghanistan . I think it was hoping tor very similar. And thats a very important principle. But this story really began to fall apart very early on, when berghdals own military unit started dissing on him and criticizing him. Arent you worried by that. Well, i think that theres been way too much attention posed to bergdahl. I dont particularly care whether he is a loyal great fighter, or a deserter, what matters to me are really two main things. First, what kind of threat do the get mow five pose to the United States. And the broader international community. And what are we with going to do with the remainder of the detainee population. Those are the two most important issues. Great to talk to you sir, appreciate it. Any time. The trial of three your honor lis the ever the past 159 days has been adjourned they are due back in court on june 19th. During tads hearing the prosecution asked for maximum jail terms. Al jazeera is banned from reporting in egypt, but cnn correspondent has been following the procedures and has this update. The prosecution is wrapped up presenting its case, they made their final argument. Now what is happening is the defense is presenting its case. We dont know how long, we dont know if they will wrap it up today, but what we do know is for the past couple of hours the defense has picked across the prosecutes case. Remember, the only evidence if you want to call it that, that the pros cueing has presented has been old video clips, video clips of news conferences, news reports sometimes news reports from outside of egypt, they presented pictures sometimes personal pictures. Iteams that would be seemingly be in the possession of any journalist, and has nothing to do with the serious charges that these journalist face. The defts position is they failed to present any evidence linking them to these crimes, even though, despite the evidence, the prosecution making a very ominous statement today, alleging that al jazeera is made an alliance with the devil, and along with the muslim brotherhood, the prosecution always calling for the maximum sentence saying that anything other than the maximum sentence would be drown egypt. Abdullah al shammy has been held without charge since august. He had been on a Hunger Strike for more than four months. The hearing has been postponed because he is not well enough.

Lawrence lee was the first journalist allowed in these schools and has this report. This school according to the government, and almost the entire period is a hot bet of radicalism. You are a parent here, we want your visa. Many of the parents dont share that view at all, and they are fighting back, leaf letting at the gates trying to stop what they see as a slur on their collective character. Do you think it is right . Giving how many muslims are in the school, there should be a muslim focus. Their needs should be taken care of. Compared to allegation, spoken to my daughter about these, no, dad, when it comes to reading time, they make us sit on the floor, boy girl, boy, girl. The kids have gone to the local Catholic School for christmas, people here used to complain about it being taught in state schools but not now, now it is islam. The nearby streets are entirely islamic. But it is clear the poll sixes believe if they are living in britain, they have to adopt a different set of standards when they send their children to schools. So much of the language around this crisis has been incredibly a motive, fundamentally extremism, plotting a grand conspiracy, and yet, almost none of the complaints have been about educational stanrd das they have all been about culture. And yet, if the point of the system is to serve the needs of the demographic, then many of the parents that live in places like this would say the schools work very well for them. More than 20 schools here, teaches thousands of children, have been accused of conceivetism islam. This local member says the schools didnt understand their secular responsibilities. All the time the girls in the back, and boys in the front, what that leads to just respective of the school of thought that you follow, is the whole idea of undermining the values and the principles of those young girl whose will then be always in a different mind set, that they are not good enough to sit in the front. So back to the school, we saw evidence of various religion i dont knows being tout, boys and girls sitting together with nonmuslim staff at the library, for the standard childrens literature. Amido all the noise, the school insists this is a victim of a witch hunt. Lawrence lee, al jazeera. Boy, a lot of interest connected to a fire in new york city today, that story and other headlines making nice. Yeah, some 200 firefighters were responded to that fire.

Delaware transportation secretary wants all the major bring brings in the e inspected. They want to see if they are at risk to similar problems that force add major bridge to close.

The brazilian authorities are adamant the world cup will be good for them. 14 billion spent on new stadiums and infrastructure. But little if any of that will reach the purvey jurors the shanty tonights. That dot the major cities. I think it is very clear, that the world cap is not for all. It has brought us projects that only benefit the upper classes and big Construction Companies but everybody else pays the price. One of the organizers of an alternative football tournament. This one overlooking the city. It concludes teams of men, women, and children. This is another form of political protest against the national and local government. Our main goal is also to strengthen the community, and bring attention to those who are evicted and suffered Police Violence because of the world cup. Football is thought of the peoples game, and the world cup is the tournament thats bringing nations together. But it has not reached them, where they are organizing their own popular cup. Where he has three children, the 28yearold but they are not part of the national celebrations. We are going to watch it here at home, we love to see the game in american stadium, but the tickets are way too expensive.
