add video playlist Brazil's telecommunications agency opens probe as Brazil investigates allegations U.S. spy agencies monitored electronic communications of Brazilian companies and citizens, communications minister says. Full Story: Brazilian Minister of Communications Paulo Bernardo on Monday (July 8) said the government was investigating allegations that United States spy agencies had been monitoring electronic communications of Brazilians for at least a decade. Brazil's telecommunications agency also said on Monday it would investigate whether local operators had violated customer privacy rules. [Paulo Bernardo, Brazilian Minister of Communications]: "I want to say the following. We have to investigate this. The federal police are going to do an inquiry. The Brazilian Agency of Telecommunications (ANATEL) opened a procedure to investigate all of this. We are going to examine it. Look, this issue, in my opinion, has to be dealt with multilaterally. Other countries have to take part." The Globo newspaper reported the U.S. National Security Agency has been monitoring the phone and e-mail activity of Brazilian companies and individuals as part of U.S. espionage activities. Some access to Brazilian communications was obtained through American companies that were partners with Brazilian telecommunications companies, according to the report. [Paulo Bernardo, Brazilian Minister of Communications]: "This is a crime and we are going to investigate it. It is confirmed, we are going to look at all the measures characterized in this crime." Brazil plans to present proposals to the United Nations to protect the privacy of electronic communication. [Paulo Bernardo, Brazilian Minister of Communications]: "The governance of the Internet can't remain concentrated exclusively in the hands of the Americans. I spoke with the American authorities several times. I spoke with the ambassador today. We believe the Internet is a global communications tool and should be governed multilaterally." The Globo report cited documents obtained from U.S. fugitive Edward Snowden, a former NSA intelligence contractor. Snowden's U.S. passport has been revoked and he was most recently seen in the transit area of a Moscow airport. Bolivia, Venezuela and Nicaragua have offered to give Snowden asylum.

The Japanese government has responded to its nuclear regulator. It said on Monday that it was thinking about dumping the radioactive cooling water from Fukushima into the sea and announced more money to tackle the problem.

The outcry over the suggestion, added to the news the stricken nuclear plant was leaking 300 tonnes of water a day, spurred Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to pledge extra clean-up money.

Brazil's telecommunications agency opens probe as Brazil investigates allegations U.S. spy agencies monitored electronic communications of Brazilian companies and citizens, communications minister says. Full Story: Brazilian Minister of Communications Paulo Bernardo on Monday (July 8) said the government was investigating allegations that United States spy agencies had been monitoring electronic communications of Brazilians for at least a decade. Brazil's telecommunications agency also said on Monday it would investigate whether local operators had violated customer privacy rules. [Paulo Bernardo, Brazilian Minister of Communications]: "I want to say the following. We have to investigate this. The federal police are going to do an inquiry. The Brazilian Agency of Telecommunications (ANATEL) opened a procedure to investigate all of this. We are going to examine it. Look, this issue, in my opinion, has to be dealt with multilaterally. Other countries have to take part." The Globo newspaper reported the U.S. National Security Agency has been monitoring the phone and e-mail activity of Brazilian companies and individuals as part of U.S. espionage activities. Some access to Brazilian communications was obtained through American companies that were partners with Brazilian telecommunications companies, according to the report. [Paulo Bernardo, Brazilian Minister of Communications]: "This is a crime and we are going to investigate it. It is confirmed, we are going to look at all the measures characterized in this crime." Brazil plans to present proposals to the United Nations to protect the privacy of electronic communication. [Paulo Bernardo, Brazilian Minister of Communications]: "The governance of the Internet can't remain concentrated exclusively in the hands of the Americans. I spoke with the American authorities several times. I spoke with the ambassador today. We believe the Internet is a global communications tool and should be governed multilaterally." The Globo report cited documents obtained from U.S. fugitive Edward Snowden, a former NSA intelligence contractor. Snowden's U.S. passport has been revoked and he was most recently seen in the transit area of a Moscow airport. Bolivia, Venezuela and Nicaragua have offered to give Snowden asylum.

It said on Monday that it was thinking about dumping the radioactive cooling water from Fukushima into the sea and announced more money to tackle the problem. The outcry over the suggestion, added to the news the stricken nuclear plant was leaking 300 tonnes of water a day, spurred Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to pledge extra clean-up money.

  • Updated: 03 Sep 2013
PARIS — France released an intelligence report on Monday alleging chemical weapons use by Syria's regime that dovetailed with similar U.S. claims, as President Bashar Assad warned that any military strike against his country would spark an uncontrollable regional war and spread "chaos and extremism." The verbal crossfire, including a rejection of the Western allegations by longtime Syrian ally Russia, was part of frenzied efforts on both sides to court international public opinion after President Barack Obama said he would seek authorization from Congress before launching any military action against Assad's regime. In an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro, Assad was quoted as saying that Syria has challenged the U.S. and France to provide proof to support their allegations, but that their leaders "have been incapable of doing that, including before their own peoples." "If the Americans, the French or the British had a shred of proof, they would have shown it beginning on the first day," he said, deriding Obama as "weak" and having buckled to U.S. domestic political pressure.
