Theresa May criticises her coalition colleagues for blocking the communications data bill in 2012

Theresa May has said there must be no safe spaces for terrorist communications as she indicated that the Conservative manifesto will contain proposals to prevent encryption of internet communications.

The home secretary mounted another fierce attack on her coalition colleagues for blocking the communications data bill in 2012, saying: With every day that passes without the capabilities in the proposed bill, the powers of the security services diminish. She said this meant crimes will go unpunished and innocent lives put at risk.

May told the Commons it was likely that the counter-terrorist investigation in Paris following the massacre at Charlie Hebdo involved the use of communications data to locate the suspects.

She said it was necessary to allow the police and the security services, under a tightly controlled regime, to find out the who, where, when and how of a communication, but not its content.

May said she was waiting for a review of communications surveillance being undertaken by the independent reviewer David Anderson, as well as a report from parliaments intelligence and security committee.

She was scathing when asked by Julian Huppert, the Liberal Democrat MP, whether she was happy to join a small number of dictatorships in banning encryption. Huppert said total access to internet messages for the security services would cause huge problems for anyone that relies on secure online transaction for banking and online shopping, jeopardising Britains reputation as a safe a place to do business.

May replied: We are determined as far as possible that there are no safe spaces for terrorists to communicate. I would have thought that this is a principle that could be held by everyone in the Commons So far as I am concerned and the Conservative party is concerned, our manifesto will make clear that we will introduce legislation needed to restore our declining capabilities and that we will use all the legal powers available to us to make sure that, where appropriate, the intelligence and security agencies have the maximum capability to intercept the communications of suspects while making sure that such intrusive techniques are properly overseen.

The shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, pointed out that May had not come to her seeking fresh powers, and she warned against a caricatured argument between liberty on the one hand and security on the other.

The former Labour foreign secretary Jack Straw said the differences between the Conservatives and Labour on surveillance of communications were not large.

Living room, side doors, among best places to put them

Posted TODAY, 9:04 PM Updated TODAY, 10:41 PM

SAN ANTONIO - Home surveillance systems have increased in popularity, with more homeowners installing them to monitor activity, and catch crooks in the act.

Tim Krebs, spokesman for security company Protect America said 2014 saw three-times more home cameras installations than 2013.

I think it's because they're more accessible, they're easier to use, they're less expensive now than they've ever been, Krebs said. And they've also caught up to the modern lifestyle.

Krebs also said, where a camera is placed can also be crucial to a homes security. He recommends placing a camera in a central location within the home, such as a living room.

If someone were to come in most likely they would have to come through this area to get to the kitchen, to get to another bedroom, to get to anywhere in the home, Krebs said. So we've placed this security camera right here, so if they were to come into the home, most likely they'd have to cross the path of this camera.

And while the front door is a common spot for intruders to enter, Krebs said the back or side doors are equally important.

It's very difficult to predict where they'll come, but yes, it's very common for someone to come through a side window, Krebs said. This is the prime place for a burglar to have some privacy and really go to work on your window."

THE MORNING GRILL: Criminals at Sticks and Stones

All four Marysville school board incumbents whose terms are up for election this spring have filed their candidacy, and one challenger has entered the race.

Incumbents who have filed are board president Sonya Stohs, Position 1; Betty Temple, Position 2; Todd Milner, who holds Position 3; and Kevin Samuelson, Position 7. Lanny Carpenter, a former school counselor, filed Monday for Position 2.

Todd Frye, incumbent Ward 4 Marysville City Council member, filed for re-election.

The city and school election will be April 7. The candidate filing deadline is noon Jan. 27.

Sonya Stohs

Stohs, who is board president, is seeking her third four-year term. She said she filed for re-election to continue to work with the current administration, fellow board members, teachers and staff to bring to reality our vision, mission and goals for the district.

She said that in the last six months the district has applied and been accepted into the Coalition of Innovative Districts, using ACT Aspire as the testing tool to measure student performance; has seen the installation and upgrade of security and camera systems in all buildings; and is working to implement 1:1 technology in all schools by spring 2016.

Great things are happening but we have hard times and decisions to make now and in the future, and I feel that I can continue to be a true asset in turning our goals into reality, Stohs said.

She said she wants to continue building on the foundation that the school district and its current school board has laid.

We as a district have a goal to have our children college and career ready when they walk across the stage and receive their diploma. In order to do this we need to continue to work as a team and think outside of the box. I am a member of the finance committee, and we are moving forward working with the superintendent in being a fiscally sound district by collecting and reviewing of data to make sure we are being as efficient with taxpayer dollars as we can while providing the highest quality of education to our students.
