Snowden says that the relationship between the NSA and the BND is 'intimate'
Germany has access to XKeyScore.
Snowden says everything we do on mobiles, smart phones, lap tops, computers is immediately 'gathered' by the NSA.
There is no doubt, he argues, that the United States is also involved in industrial espionage.
He talks how he worked for a private contractor, which was hired by the NSA and says that the security was minimum.
He earlier worked for the CIA but refused to say why and how he joined.
He spent some time with the special services but due to an injury left it.
Contracting security companies in the US is a most complicated issue.
He explicitly denies being a spy or working for any foreign government.
Moving the data is not fixing the problem. Securing the data will fix the problem.
If he did return to the US he would not be allowed the rights of an ordinary citizen under the Spying Act.
He concluded the interview by saying that the President knows it would be a show trial.
