this will have the 1st opportunity to choose 22 euros casing clock. a plat who's already shot to the college circuit scoring record from engine has more it's possible many say likely the best women's basketball player ever is about to step on a pro court for the 1st time. at this point you feel like she walks in as the greatest player of all time. caitlin clark averages more than $28.00 points, a game, often more than half for teams total. the university of iowa sensation broke the all time scoring record for women's in men's college basketball earlier this year. and hardly seem to notice now she's going pro, as the indian a fever is expected to make her the 1st choice in the women's national basketball association. draft and other i said it's not as fun to watch. i can correspond to watch as clerk sings long range, 3 pointers. she's also shown she's got game when it comes to go over

w n. b a has found lucy, putting bodies in the stats. there are 7039 seats here at wealth. ryan arena, northwestern university, and every one of them was occupied earlier this year. when katelyn clark came to town, it was the 1st time ever a women's game sold out. here, fans lined up for 9 hours. the w n b a is hoping to see that kind of enthusiasm when clark joins the lee during the national collegiate athletic associations, march madness, tournament fans packed into willie wheels pub in chicago. hundreds of miles from iowa to cheer herat. she's aggressive. um, she's passionate and then she's also a team player as well. she's amazing what the kids like beyond what any email player has done. it's a report take seriously. you know, women are pretty great so, so i'm just happy to be a part of it and have somebody supported people around me and you know, he making history after dribbling circles around her latest opponent. clerk

recently gave her autograph seekers to a girl wearing her number 22 jersey katelyn is different and i don't know if it's because she's heading shots that usually the men can hit and she's doing it with such ease. but i think it's mostly her persona. she understands the celebrity that comes with what she's doing. she's able to connect with young kids. she takes time to do that. that's the legacy clark hopes to leave women's basketball. and the next generation getting ready to step in her shoes. john henry and l g 0. evanston, illinois, we can find more news pages and analysis on our website. i'll just say don't comment where your devices. news continues here. all notes here off to the list. think by steve. the is deliberate over $300000000.00 will suffice in more than $75.00 countries around

the world. 100 percent of sec, thoughts, and emergency donation spence on projects. we ensure beneficiaries come 1st of a 300 on luis, haven't had going through the roof. the crossing in recent months, our most of these bless and be blessed and we all turning jo, donations into direct delivery in the shortest possible time donates with confidence. they warned us that this was coming. now, it is here. artificial intelligence has unleashed terror in the killing fields of gods. germany stands accused of simplicity in these riddles, genesis. that is hit a nerve in berlin plus investigative journalists in ukraine, digging into state corruption, the dangers that come with the 1st 6 months now. the world has watched as it is ready. bombs have fallen on gaza

in a word that has killed more than 33000 palestinians. another 10000 remain on, accounted for presumably, dead. beneath the rubble, the level of destruction is actually in humane which given the roll, the artificial intelligence has played in this war is no accident. according to an investigation by 2 is really news outlets. the military, there has been using an a i program called lavender to identify its targets. the revelations about how the ai system makes those calls. the loss of innocent lives baked into the decision making process and how the killing actually takes place are all terrified. scary or steel is the fact that this is technology that can travel. so the implications of this story extend well beyond the gaza strip. the . this is a war that 6 months in still manages through our phones and our feats. to horrify

us the dates. in the number of the most since q in the way they are. palestinians urged by the israelis to go to the safe spaces better than bar civilians shot to death due to hospitals for when lining up for food starved to death. while the world watched. and when the is really military uses, artificial intelligence and a i based targeting system code named lavender, has a weapon of war among the casualties. the collateral damage is our collective human lavender appears to be a glorified a. i washed kill list effectively. it's a system that throws up names and we see it through the reporting on the lavender system. that soldiers, again, are being compelled to treat palestinians as the numbers. what that does is it removes the friction that exists normally between humans and the decision to kill

the systems lend a kind of veneer of technical rationality to what essentially seems to be a masculine campaign. that shows how the military strategy, after october 7th, was dictated by likely by vengeance. and it just goes to show that the use of this technology was really just kind of a crutch to allow this killing campaign to go on. these really military 1st deployed a i to select targets in 2021 in a war on gaza that lasted 11 days, 2 months after her mazda is a tax on october, 7th to was really is outlets plus 972, and local call reported that the army had rolled out a more advanced, more destructive a i tool, called the gospel, able to increase the number of targets, buildings and structures from thousands a day to thousands. then just last week,

those same 2 outlets combined to lift the lid on lab and revealing that it takes that a technology and use it to target humans based on things like their social media, their contact movement, and how many times they change their sim cards. plus 972 and local calls say that they base their reporting on 6 sources or from the is really military. what their story makes clear is that the taking of innocent palestinian lives is not a flaw in the technology. it is a feature built here. this is a good example where a i has been misused as to a to worsening the situation for people on the ground. how it was was used for mass killing. fettuccine is how they accept as 90 percent of accuracy and the 10 percent were accepted as a margin error for targeting people to ends off with over 33000 people

have been killed and government and the only human review for that 11 their system was just to check within seconds of the target is a made or not, which basically didn't humanizes palestinian men as they are o allows to be targeted. and this is exactly why we should be questioning such as the commodities and how they are used. and we put an, i guess oper, speaker 11. there was a band same. could they sort of an oven? they're basically creates a bank of targets people to be eliminated. and the system phones 37000 such targets this resulted in is randomizing guys the way the quantity of weapons that is almost unheard of in terms of the amount of t and t that was dropped there. why? because we have enough targets to drop a very large amount of explosives, because the system, the decided that these people need to be killed. the algorithms actually make these cues decisions. and they are loaded with probability and bias errors,

different from the errors in human decision making, errors all the same. so, so nothing less than that that will see the most concerning part of these revelations was the over reliance on a systems. there was essentially a complete trust and prove that the system determine was a target. so instead of usually cooling through surveillance, data deciding if somebody was actually who must operative, the army just signed off on thousands and thousands of star gets to strikes. essential confirms with that almost everybody in gaza seems to be considered a legitimate target by the is really military. there's also the way they target them. and when plus 972, and local call also revealed reportedly based on those same 6 source is in the is really army. the existence of another automated system called where's data? it is used to track targeted individuals to their home. then comes between human

element is really military personnel delayed their bombing until after dark, when there's a greater probability of the target being there, along with their family, thereby driving up to the civilian desktop. suddenly while israel is back politically in this war by washington, it's army needs silicon valley technologically. the military's mass surveillance systems are reliance on google images to work. google has a policy that dictates its products, cannot be used to cause what the company calls immediate. huh. not only is the tech giant breaking his own rules by letting the israeli military test palestinians with google's help. when journalist at the new york times the intercept or the listening post, ask the company to justify it's in action or even comment on it. it fails to respond

what google ought to do, and whether other companies ought to do is to ensure that they are safe guards against their usage. that they aren't giving access to use their systems in ways that, that help scale out with the kinds of unlawful acts of witnessing and gaza. simply saying that one is pro human rights is a tech company is not really enough anymore. and really back tech companies have to have to do a lot more to ensure that they aren't knowingly or unknowingly contributing to the situation and gaza and the sugar, the face of the people. google didn't necessarily realize they were creating software that would become the basis for one of the biggest surveillance systems you menissi has ever seen some people in the army who so the systems in action did something quite unusual and spoke about the wife was so wrong. i've heard the many people in these rarely army who do not agree with how the war is being foot. those are spoke up or perhaps the bravest. these rallies in the war,

something broke within them and they decided that they would not co operate any longer. about it said on the scene, i live in brooklyn. so definitely the israel has been holding it surveillance of palestinians for years. the west bank city of hebron has been the primary laboratory, the testing ground for new surveillance to palestinians in gaza. now find themselves in a disturbing nightmare at the mercy of a military that can see their every move and can kill with the parents impute as damaging as the investigation by plus 972, and local call may prove to be for as really leaders. the reality is, this a technology is being showcased lavender. the gospel underpinned by google images are all being marketed to potentially bad actors around the world. they could be coming soon to a war zone near you. an important aspect to keep in mind because often times,

you know, tech companies that are particularly involved in supplying the kinds of systems that here's rarely security forces. administrative defense use actually a game. and that benefit out of being associated with the kinds of scalable warfare that we see happening in gas because it drives their value up from a point of view of military effectiveness. so now the next government that are seeking to exact the same kinds of warfare and will look to these companies as well, right? the misuse of technology, the ai system and everything that has been we've put an ice in this ongoing during the sized bank. us the big question about how we should today join forces with all their countries and with other ferguson people to ask for global regulation for as the use of technologies and a i this to bring us to the question of a zip code of 9 patient of technology because big relations are lagging behind that led to this technology to be misused and worth times. and as those a,

our systems are evolving. they are just used to increase the operation of the rid of press the put in global majority countries. this past week at the international court of justice, nicaragua, accused of germany, of facilitating genocide in gaza. and that has not gone down well with either the german government or the news media there. mean actually robbie is here with the details. the i c j is on video to decatur to lawsuit against israel over this assault and gaza, but the case broadband because aguayo is the 1st with one of his allies in the dock . it centers in germany's role as a primary supplier of weaponry to israel. government is taking to, i knew it, showing up legation prevention, decide what to expect of international humanitarian law. only the united states since more military equipment to israel,

then germany. but as washington does not recognize, the oxygen is due to fiction. a case against the us is considered and viable because it has argued that germany's position to keep its weapon supplies flowing. often earlier i c j ruling that is really supposedly committing genocide makes it complicit. that's would be agree of accusation for any state, but no way does it cut quite as deep as in germany given its responsibility for the deadliest genocide of all, the world war 2 hollow cost, but also the genocide early in the 20th century of the hey data and nama peoples in what is known, and maybe a drilling sensitivity was on display, in how many in the media bed decided to respond to the i. c, j. case mission is a, it's very why is it us? it does good. at least you can find about i named the unplug the door, she runs, then in golden is done the form of the store sun by his it's of the come most nice to when does this work? golf?

all the media outlets dismissed the allegations on account of nicaragua as own poor, human rights record is relevant as the sofa instead of a so because hardware awesome cool enough to mention was one of us and dispensed in . the timing of the i c j. case was interesting. the day before the hearings began was the 30th anniversary of the wanton genocide in which more than 800000 people from the tipsy ethnic group were killed in a treat. the german foreign ministry said the faith of the tutsis is a constant reminder for us to never again look a we, one day later, germany was being accused at the was highest court of doing fall worse than that. thanks me. the ukraine is now into the 3rd year of its more with russia and the printing and journalists are feeling the pressure. investigative reporters whose work is critical of either the authorities or military leaders are getting smeared online. masked men have come knocking on their door. the authorities in care of, we're fine with the investigative news outlet,

the who's dot info when it was exposing russian war crimes. but reviewing cases of corruption in ukraine has resulted in journalists, they're being placed under soviet style surveillance by the security services. we contacted president, florida minutes a lansky is office asking what if anything the government is doing to protect reports? no reply. but listening posts johanna who's now on the ongoing attacks on journalism in ukraine. the more so this is the kind of journalism ukrainian reporters, that investigative outlet be host info. do they keep a close eye on the countries rich and powerful? however, last december, the journalists were the ones being watched. the team had gathered in a hotel for a training workshop and became the targets of a major surveillance operation conducted by ukraine's intelligent services. it was

only when a little known youtube channel posted video and audio recordings in january that the journalist realized what it happens. the materials suggest that they've been using illegal drugs and questions, whether they could be trusted. the, the, you talk about the thought, can you actually miss the trouble? is that it was a bull commercials to just make it was a new york little things keep the robinson, the incident come to be who was to launch its own investigation into how and why the surveillance was carried out. when it says a blue, they've done everything out in the open, leaving an incredible amount of evidence on the hotels cctv. overall, that was 13 people involved in this operation. before we arrived, they came to install like gadgets rented the cottages, installed surveillance, even in the sooner. no thought though it's

a week later they came back to remove it to so it was a massive operation by the security services at the ship. i'm standing as little money, it's not that we're surprised by the surveillance. so pressure, we keep an eye in the forty's, they keep an eye on us. but when the special services deploy a huge amount of resources to monitor a team of drug list at a time when we are at a full scale war, that feels like intimidation, a symbol on the pro store downstairs and upstairs. it wasn't just surveillance based on the phone conversation is we know they also wire topped us for more than a year shuttle to the story triggered an uproar within a journalistic community in ukraine. but the targeting of the host was in an isolated event, all their journalists have been harassed both on an offline the editors of national newspapers, an online publications issued a joint statement. and even met with investors of g 7 countries. asking the

diplomats to pressure president to landscape to denounce the attacks. would you please measure the least level to proceed. ready to landscape fire, chief of the intelligence department, responsible for the surveillance of a government investigation is underway. but the story expose the tensions between the president and the train in 4th states, which allow us have you not to when the war started. there was an unspoken agreement among journalists to not criticize the cleaning on saturdays or all of the anti corruption investigations to the doctor. but eventually we realize that people are and want to hear the truth about whether someone is profiteering from the war. if corruption is taking place, if also are these are making competent decisions, raymar to change an issue, you brush i know clean to the trans dom on diverse sources of information. that is why opposition media such as b, who's studying for and independent media, a mega popular,

and at times more popular than the media outlets that the government had authorized . there is competition on telegram to and the government is trying to create a space onto the ground that works. then we're watching more. yeah. cra. okay. and we want to see how shifts and anonymous telegram channels are used to destroy the gymnast and members of civil society. and it's just been led to clear it over to, to last night. we're being cast as enemies of the ukrainian people called rushing agents. that's very dangerous because we hold a pro ukraine position. but also believe the government needs to be held accountable. there's liberal transparency, but it's clear that all of this is happening to those who criticize the government or military leadership re not. and then let me see what it is. i've gotten the code shape from one by 2 more. sure. let me see that the author already is react quite nervously. the criticism and some actions of journalists demo, which despite the many restrictions old during listing ukraine

face investigative outlets are now technically uncomfortable topics like corruption, mobilization, and troop losses on the battlefield. cream, able to try me on a, the career in contrast, remain? no. okay, more next winter. we stopped the stories remain large, the outside the mainstream news agenda. business day united news tv merits on a rolling news bulletin that is comprised of 6 national channels that came together at the start of russia's invasion in 2022. not 2 years later, those channels are still broadcasting the exact same thing. turning out messages that come with a government sales approval, simple would click on the united madison was a response to the invasion. when none of the channels have the capacity to provide 247 useful costing to last level the lowest. it was necessary to very quickly find a format that would provide a verified source of information with minimal opportunity for russia to interest.

you have to retract this of digital model phones to yeah. it's becoming more of a p r exercise for the all sorties a tool to con society and shield people from the real state of things. there's a place for state propaganda during the war and the most, but there also needs to be a balance of hope. was a separate. there's only one channel so so if you live tv keeps some voice to be opposition. otherwise, the marathon is almost void of opposing views. successful, obviously, a good summary, inconvenient topic were satisfied the spot alarm, and many journalists have questioned the formats editorial policy and governments expenditure on the united news tv marathon is that separate from vanya cumulative and investigation by b. who's published in march dug into the ownership structure and funding of the company, producing content, shown on tv, marital events, the look and all of you came i, it's um, one of the tv channels that has

a 6 hour growth cost is locked on. united news is the state department tv channel. it does not produce its own content but pays a private production company. a significant amount of state funds from one of the level of our assumption is that this company is close to the president's entourage . but you could ask, why is it important to talk about this production house a tool? well, it's because they produce content that ukrainians watch around the clock. suspenseful. what are you into to well, the global. yeah, absolutely. bathroom and the sure i'm absolutely confident that those in power would like to totally dominate the media space. replaced all t v output with the mattresses and spread the message all over the internet. they trying, but i doubt that they can achieve the result. they desire that on a nimble the content of all ukrainian media comp be controlled and why do we have a back? but i can think for ourselves a bit coach always in the city. they did all the recent weeks. presidente

lensky has toughened his stands on the social media tools, many of whom have gone aster journalist. he has pushed from more regulation and transparency in february. when's the lensky? how the press conference is tone towards the journalist was more conciliatory. executive is additional what it did for us to go with the ongoing threat from russia and dwindling a to media attention from the west. ukraine's government is keenly aware of that inconvenient store. it is about corruption, and scandals may hinder their coons. ukraine's investigative journalists save the task of keeping the country image support to this cannot happen at the cost of transparency and the truth. we didn't send them never okay. we're not in a nice deep cleaning on stories that were partners, but we're also demanding partners. and we have a mission. we're careful with our criticism invoice, the only one it is impossible with

a license to see what our society of victory or democratic development is under threat such as right. i'm not sure if it was just the investigative journalism is not about digging back. it's about making the case for something to change. we want everyone involved in this surveillance scoundrel to be brought to justice. so it wouldn't happen again. democratic ukraine should not live like this because we're not rushing the like you crate. another conflict that's been knocked out of the headlines by the story in gaza is the civil war ensued on the country. it's been torn apart for a year now by a power struggle between the sudanese armed forces and a rival militia group. the sheer scale of the humanitarian crisis is what stands out here. roughly 8000000 people have been displaced 6000000 internally. the other $2000000.00 to neighboring countries and estimated $18000000.00 are going hungry

for this coming week and emergency humanitarian conference will be held in paris its mission to try to raise $2700000000.00 to make up for the shortfall in food. this conflict deserves far more attention than it's been getting from the global news media. and that includes us here at the listening post. we'll see you next. why have american evangelicals become? this real strongest factor is us present. you'll find the right to stand with israel with no red line, as long as us support continues. is there anything that can stop is real, solve on concept, from going on in? definitely a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line. how well is it trent? who pays the price? when are we came to clean up? new orleans more than $1200.00 poor black people lost their lights, not

a single rich american loss. they like the real cost of the climate to emergency. the most vulnerable of people who are suffering are poor people, but even rich people are going to be affected by the impacts of climate shift. outages here as new series died off to the higher than the colleges. when we look at the world still basically stories. how much of those plans going to cost is the rebuilding going to cost and who pays from global markets and economies to construction and small businesses. we have just started seeing inspection coming down in many costs. well, to understand how it affects uh, daily lives,

just outline forth how big a problem is labeled food insecure. counting the cost on outages. here you will see the cost a duty and a grow viewing for the p. use a cost to contribute to improving the lives of thousands of projects except the cost and we strive to insure it reaches its deserving recipients, visit the cost on the web presence. and remember, it's a copy revised wells and increases systems costs on request. a sort of 10 year journey in which it has become the most important translation award from. i'm into the outer a big language world wide. shea come out award for translation and international understanding of notice is the opening of the nomination period for the year. 2024
