White House under fire as surveillance row grows
World Business ReportAvailable for over a year
The White House is under fire as the US surveillance row grows. It's not just phones being tapped, it's also emails and computer files. We ask if the big hi-tech firms willingly opened a back door to government scrutiny or whether the door was forced open without them knowing? We'll be taking a look at the latest US jobs numbers and trying to work out whether its good or bad news for the economy. Plus, we head to the Bilderberg conference, it's where the world's movers and shakers get together to do some blue sky thinking together.
