That's Edward Snowden's Point

Reality Check: NSA surveillance unconstitutional, Yanukovich in Moscow, PROSA, the business of piracy on the high seas, and homelessness in Austria.

NSA surveillance unconstitutional

APA

A federal court judge in Washington has ruled that the US National Security Agency’s practice of routinely collecting the telephone records of millions of Americans may run counter to the US Constitution. So where does this take matters? We have a special report.

Yanukovich in Moscow

Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych is in Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine's opposition fears Yanukovych will take the first steps to joining a Russian-led customs union. So what would this deal mean for Ukraine? And what does Mr Putin make of the thousands of protesters on the streets of Kiev? We'll go to Moscow.

PROSA

As part of Licht ins Dunkel 2013, FM4 is supporting PROSA - Projekt Schule für Alle. It helps young asylum seekers in their studies, who don’t have access to regular schooling, to get their Pflichtschulabschluss. Chris Cummins went along to the Vienna Gymnasium in the Rahlgasse to meet some of the students and teachers.

Where the ransom money paid to pirates along the Horn of Africa eventually ends up.
