ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: As Berlin awaits U.S. President Barack Obama's first official visit, about 300 people protested on Tuesday against the surveillance practice of the NSA (National Security Agency). The head of the NSA said last week that the extensive U.S. surveillance efforts had helped stop possible attacks, and warned that making details of the top-secret programs public had compromised national security. But the demonstrators were of different opinion and said they considered the data surveillance a breach of their human rights. "We want to tell him (Obama) that he must stop scanning all our data with PRISM (U.S. surveillance program) and the NSA and violating European and human rights," Linnea Riensberg of the group Digital Community said. Obama said on Monday that he will meet soon with a privacy and civil liberties oversight board to discuss ways to balance the need for U.S. surveillance while respecting people's right to priv

SOUNDBITE: David Cameron, British Prime Minister, saying (English): "We launched negotiations on the biggest bilateral trade deal in history, we agreed a Lough Erne declaration that has the potential to rewrite the rules on tax and transparency, for the benefit of countries right across the world, including the poorest countries in the world." All the leaders are facing economic challenges at home. They urged Japan to press ahead with reforms to tackle its budget deficit. And the euro zone to work on its banking union. But the biggest topic for summit chair Britain was taxation. Cameron has been stung by revelations that big multinationals like Starbucks and Google have cut their corporate tax bills in

ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Trade between Europe and the United States is worth almost $3 billion a day and a pact could boost both the EU and U.S. economies by more than $100 billion a year each - an attractive prospect after the devastating impact of Europe's debt crisis. "This is a once in a generation prize and we are determined to seize it," said British Prime Minister David Cameron, flanked by U.S. President Barack Obama and the presidents of the European Commission and the European Council. The first round of negotiations will take place in Washington in July, Obama said, speaking at the Group of Eight summit near the Northern Irish town of Enniskillen. First considered three decades ago but knocked down by France in the 1990s, the idea of an EU-U.S. free-trade deal has gathered momentum as Brussels and Washington look to generate growth and China's rise prompts deeper Western integration.
