hits back at claims of Downing Street to the High Court that "urgent" need to access files GCHQ filtered

The government took over three weeks to act on reliable information about the location of a collection of secret intelligence information disclosed by the whistleblower Edward Snowden, despite now claiming the information is at risk "serious injury" to the safety of British intelligence services and the military, the Guardian said Friday.

Guardian News & Media editor-in-chief, Alan Rusbridger, Downing Street responded to the allegations in the High Court that "urgently" needed to access the intelligence leak seized at Heathrow this Glenn Greenwald few months, reports Guardian journalist on digital programs of mass surveillance in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Rusbridger said on July 22, two days after the Guardian complied with a request by the government to destroy the encrypted material containing GCHQ Snowden, a former CIA employee files, newspaper executives managed by the government United Kingdom The New York Times and ProPublica, U.S. publishers with which the paper had shared secret documents GCHQ.

still 23 days until the British Embassy in Washington contacted Jill Abramson, editor of the United States, by telephone about the data. A meeting followed the next day. Since then, there has been no contact with the New York Times, The Guardian.

Friday, in the last stage of a challenge to the High Court in Miranda, partner Greenwald on the lawfulness of his detention for interrogation on August 18 while wearing the filtered data through Heathrow , deputy national security adviser to Britain, Oliver Robbins said in a statement: "It is urgent to identify and understand the whole thing ... to assess the risk sources and methods intelligence and threat to sensitive personnel of intelligence agencies should their identity or the details of its operation Tradecraft obtained by hostile actors. "

But Rusbridger said government delays in monitoring other intelligence files from the UK to New York in "denial picture urgency and crisis painted on the ground."

"The government wanted the judge to believe that they have always acted with the utmost urgency because of a serious threat to national security represented by the periodic work responsibly and Documents Snowden's implications for society, "he said." But most of the time since the beginning of June soon arrived.
The high court granted metropolitan police broad powers to determine whether crimes and violations of the Official Secrets Act related to terrorism were committed. Appearing Miranda, Matthew Ryder QC said his client agreed to the terms under a "pragmatic approach" to the dispute before a full hearing is expected in October on the legality of the arrest of Miranda and the seizure of their data .

On a Lord Justice Laws and Justice Kenneth Parker, the police will now examine whether the possession of the seized material is an offense under the Terrorism Act 2000, which prohibits the possession of information that could be useful to terrorists and in particular the "obtaining, publish or disseminate" information about members of the armed forces, intelligence services and police that terrorists might use. They are also considering possible crimes under Article 1 of the Official Secrets Act 1911, which deals with communication equipment to an enemy, and "various offenses" under the 1989 Act Official Secrets.


In his statement, Robbins said encrypted material includes personal information of intelligence services in the United Kingdom, any compromise that would lead to a risk to their lives and their families and risking their recruitment targets of terrorists and become hostile intelligence agencies. The hard drive seized Miranda contained about 58,000 highly sensitive UK intelligence documents, the commitment "would be serious damage to the national security of the United Kingdom and ultimately risking life."

said a piece of paper with the password to some encrypted files were found with the hard drive and Robbins criticized Miranda and his team of "very poor judgment in their security measures to material with regard to ownership of the material, or at least access by non-State actors, a real possibility. "He said that the government believes that the data may have been obtained by one or more of countries through which Snowden has passed since fled the United States. They are China and Russia, where Snowden is alive.

A statement from the Met police investigation of the handling of terrorism police, Detective Superintendent Caroline Goode said the disclosure of 58,000 documents on the hard drive "would seriously harm the interests of United Kingdom ". She said only 75 have so far been deciphered and reconstructed in a readable format.

Does water hold the key to more efficient windows? (Photo: Nathan Larkin)



researchers from the University of Toronto say they can improve the energy efficiency of buildings with small glass of water channels. Scientists say that these channels vascular systems inspired by nature, such as the network of blood vessels in the human body, can provide 7 to 9 ? C cooling in summer and reduce heat loss in the winter ... Continue reading watery windows mimic the blood vessels to increase the efficiency of the building

David Cameron's preferred pornfiltering system is run by Huawei, just FYI

British authorities have never had exactly the same level of anxiety by Huawei we have seen in the United States, and so far I've been happy to let the Chinese company participated in many parts of the information infrastructure of the country. Consequently, the control of the company even extends to the filter "Homesafe" used by the Internet service provider TalkTalk, which recently praised David Cameron for his push for tighter controls on adult content. The BBC has revealed that employees of the British company Huawei is able to decide which sites are blocked by Talk Talk, and even users who choose their HomeSafe Internet usage data routed through the system of Huawei. Whether or not this is an issue depends entirely on how much you trust the reports of close links between Huawei and the Chinese government, with the demand of Huawei that these concerns are based on prejudice against the Chinese rather than evidence. From a purely practical point of view, however, if the mission is to block the vast expanses of the Internet, why not hire an expert?

calendars that we take for granted these days, the invention of the track time systems is presented as one of the achievements most monumental humanity ... in more than one direction. Long before written calendars appeared, monuments were used to measure time. Now a crude "calendar" but working discovered Warren Field, Scotland, suggests that these monuments to time may have been developed much earlier than previously thought. Archaeologists believe that the timing of land Warren was created by hunter-gatherers around 8000 BC, making it the oldest calendar in the world discovered to date by a significant margin ...
