was a 100 days ahead of the powers olympics. $450.00 migrants were evicted from an abandoned warehouse and a southern suburb of the capitol. it's believed most with documented will be moved to camps outside congress. with the games not far off, it should be a ton of excitement and anticipation, full service in font. they have mixed reactions. tom size them has most it's been 7 years in the making for paris as the city finalize preparations for the start of the games. come july 10 and a whole 1000 athletes from $206.00 countries will descend on francis capital for an event that's expected to drawing $13000000.00 spectators. so the 2100000 inhabitants who lived there, sabina, disruptive period for lots of them. the lynx is, as shown on busily on the self and excited no story. that's certainly not the answer. i'm not excited at all about the olympics, even if it's still a great event for parents. i have a lot of concerns about the organization,

transportation. the fact that we'll continue to work and concerns for those who are going to swim in that water. that is just disgusting. really disgusting. yes, i have a lot of concerns organized as a set, the confidence, the mood and the system will change as the event is that many parisians have said they would like to leave the city during the games. if they could have doubts over whether the sitting is ready as possible as possible, and then a minute small spike is what i don't think the city of paris itself is ready. in fact, there are things that we should have planned for sooner, like i'm thinking of the month upon us tally construction site. in fact, we were promised a lot of stuff. i even remember that we were promised that transportation would be free and nothing has been done. so i don't think we're ready. no. i'm simple, spoken to some locals be of interest, be met with optimism and insurance for the city to show his qualities as it goes up for its 1st hosting of the games for a 100 years. the opening ceremony is set to take place on the river send,

but it could be moved to the step, the fronts to, to concerns over security and cleanliness, re on the campus. you all supposed to sit and show us bone. yes, we're looking forward to it because it's a chance to say the olympic gains in france. so we're happy and we can't wait. we know the whole world is watching us, so we'll do our best to work on the world. france like you have a back guarantee error or false. a good thing sir, and then he will kick off the games on the 26th of july thompson's out 0. well that's it from me down in jordan for now, but he was continues here on out 0 after the listening 1st state to intensive watching the i go to goes to the polls on april the 21st to go to new plans to come back. criminal gang and find toby nice cried can president daniel nibble and convince ecuadorian to approve the constitutional to expand the lease and military power.

follow the story. one now to sierra. 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 israel's generous fact. let's say the nurse in berlin plus investigative journalists in ukraine, digging into state. perhaps the dangers would come with us. for 6 months now, the world has watched as it is ready. bombs have fallen on gauze in a war 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 rule that 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. for the highest days in the number of the most insecure in the way they are to palestinians urged by the israelis to go to safe spaces better than bar civilians shot to death in a hospital or when lining up for food starved to death. while the world watched,

and when the is randy military uses artificial intelligence and a i based targeting system code named lavender as a weapon of war among the casualties. the collateral damage is our collective human lavender appears to be a glorified a. i washed a kill list effectively. it's a system that throws up names and we see it through the reporting on the alignment . their 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 the 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 gauze of that last bit, 11 days, 2 months after her mazda is attacks on october 7th, 2 is really news 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 of day to 1000. then just last week, those same 2 outlets combined to lift the lid on of and revealing that it takes that a, i'd technology and use it to target humans based on things like their social media, their contact movements 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 the 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 fresenius, 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 gods and the only human review for that love in their system was just to check within seconds of the target is a male or not, which basically didn't humanizes palestinian men as they r o allow us to be targeted. and this is exactly why we should be questioning,

such as the commodities and how they are used, and we put noise against oper. speaker 11. that is a band, sam. could they get sort of an oven? they're basically creates a bank of target people to be eliminated. and the system phones $37000.00 such targets this resulted in is randomizing, does that with the quantity of weapons, but he's almost unheard of in terms of the amount of t and t that was dropped the. 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 seem 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. and when plus 972, and local call also revealed reportedly based on those same 6 sources 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 the human element is really military personnel delayed their bombing until after dark, when there's a greater probability of the target feelings 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 technological. the military's mass surveillance systems are reliant on google images to work. google has a policy that dictates its products, cannot be used to cause what the company calls immediate har, not only is the tech giant breaking its own route by letting the is really military attack palestinians with google's help. when journalists at the new york times the intercept or the listening post, ask the company to justify its inaction or even comment on it, it fails to respond what school ought to do and whether other companies ought to do is to ensure or that they are safe guards against their usage, so 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 in gaza. and it should go to the face of the people that 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 saw the systems in action did something quite unusual and spoke about why it 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 call for it any longer. about it said on the scene i live in rockland, so definitely the israel has been phoning it's surveillance of palestinians for years. the westbank 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, live in 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 oftentimes, you know, tech companies are particularly involved in supplying the kinds of systems that there's rarely security forces. administrative defense use actually 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 the point of view of

military effectiveness. so now the next government that is seeking to exact the same kinds of warfare and we'll look through these companies as well, right? the misuse us technology, the system and everything that has been we've an ice in this ongoing during the site and bank us the big question about how we should today joint forces with all their countries and with other ferguson people to ask for global regulation for the use of technologies and a i this to bring us to the question of a zip code of 9 patients of technology. because big relations are lagging behind that lead to this technology to be misused as worth times. and as those a, our systems are evolving. they are just used to increase the offers and also the red press, the put in globe and majority countries. this past

week, the international court of justice, nicaragua, accused of germany, of facilitating genocide in gaza. and that has not gone down well. what size of 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 its assault and gaza with the case broadband. because aguayo is the 1st to put one of his allies in the dock. it centers in germany's role as a primary supplier of weaponry to israel tournament is taking to our newest building up legation to prevention. the side which we have to respect of international humanitarian law. only the united states since mode ministry equipment to israel, then germany. but as washington does not recognize the sieges, judas dixon, a case against the us is considered and viable. because one has argued the germany's position to keep its weapon supplies flowing. often earlier, i see the ruling that is really supposed to be committing genocide mix. it completes it that's would be agree of accusation for any state. but nowhere does it

cut quite as deep as in germany given its responsibility for the deadliest genocide of all the world war 2 holocaust. but also the genocide, early in the 20th century of the hey data and nama peoples in what is known and media drilling sensitivity was on display in how many in the media did, decided to respond to the i c, j. case. you should, this is a, it's um, yeah, the why is it us, it us good at least you can find about i named the unplugged the door she runs then in golden is done the form of the store sun by his it's of the come most license when does this will draw all the media outlets dismissed the allegations on account of nicaragua as own poor human rights record is relevant to show for. i'm starting this will be in the car hardware. awesome. cool enough to see mission with windows and dispense then the timing of the i c j. case was interesting. the day before, the headings 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 to, one day later, germany was being accused at the was highest court of doing fall worse than that. thanks. the ukraine is now into the 3rd year of its war with russia and the training 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 be, who's dot info when it was exposed in 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 the landscapes office asking what if anything the government is

doing to protect reporters, 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 to us? however, last december, the journalists were the ones being watched. the team had gathered in a hotel for a training workshops and became the targets of a major surveillance operation conducted by ukraine's intelligence 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 material suggests that they've been using illegal drugs and questions whether they could be trusted. people in the you

talk about the thought, your trouble or you missed. the trouble is that it was a bull commercials to just make you plus new york and increase. keep that around the, into the, is home to be who's to launch its own investigation into how and why the surveillance was carried out. and it says it will do it. they've done everything out in the open, leaving an incredible amount of evidence on the hotels 60 t. v. overall, there 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 dock, though it's not a week late to they came back to remove it too. so it was a massive operation by the security services at the ship. i'm facing us of 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 goes, i'm just surveillance. based on the phone conversation is we know they also wire top to us for more than a year shuttle move. the story triggered an uproar within a journalistic community in ukraine. but the targeting of the host was in an isolated event. other journalists have been harassed by 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 presidents and landscape to denounce the attacks. would you please measure that needs to be able to. 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 state for july. so if you're not to win the war started, there was an unspoken agreement among journalists to not criticize the cleaning, all sorties, all of the anti corruption investigations to talk to. 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, grandma or to change an issue, but i know clean to the trans demonic, 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 that were 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 coach schafer more about your marshal love them. you see that the, all 4 of these 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 out of the career, in contrast, remain no k minus. when do we stop? the stories remain large, the outside the mainstream news agenda. business day united news tv. marathon

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 the government's seal of approval symbol would click on the united marriage and was a response to the invasion. when none of the channels have the capacity to provide 247 useful cost 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 up digital model phones the yeah. because 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 i don't know, but there also needs to be a balance of hope was

a separate. there's only one channel. so if you live tv keeps some voice to the 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 events, a pro combine. you cannot test any investigation by b who's published in march, doug into the ownership structure and funding of the company producing content shown on tv, marathon events, the look and all of you came i, it's um, one of the tv channels that has a 6 hour growth cost slots on united news is the state parliament 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. speed is the answer to 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're trying, but i doubt that they can achieve the result. they desire that on a member of the content of all ukrainian media comp be controlled and why do we have a back? but i can think for ourselves the child was in the city. they said that all the recent weeks presidents zalinski has toughened his stands on the modem and social media tools, many of whom have gone aster journalist. he has pushed for more regulation and transparency in february, when zalinski held a press conference. his tone towards during the list was more conciliatory. executive sufficient with what it did for us to go with the ongoing threat from

russia and dwindling aid and media attention from the west. ukraine's government is keenly aware that inconvenience story is about corruption is scandalous, may hinder, and there coons ukraine's investigative journalists say, the task of keeping the countries images. this cannot happen at the cost of transparency and the troops. we saw them send them never who were not enemies, deep cleaning, also warranties 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 when are they plastic? when our society of victory or democratic development is under threat. sorry, i'm not sure if it was just what i'm doing. investigative journalism is most about digging back. it's about making the case for something to change. we want everyone involved in this surveillance scandal to be brought to justice. so it wouldn't

happen again. democratic ukraine should not live like this because we're not rushing like ukraine. another conflict that's been knocked out of the headlines by the story in gaza is the civil war ensued on. the country has 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 to neighboring countries and estimated 18000000 are going hungry for this coming week. an 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.

one of the biggest selections of 2024 in the general election. will administer now render movies be taking increase its food across the country. how will economic uncertainty and you've some employment suede boots as in key states, and will the media be able to cover the vote reading i'm fairly ongoing coverage, but in the, as an actions on a tuesday or 2. but nature's biological rhythms heat, the percentage ultimate but this is not to, it's countless kilowatts of alex official light, allowing industrialized agriculture defies seasonal and geographic constrains witness shed slice on the impact of emergent cultivation on the natural world to

which we even know sleepless bags on allergies era a g, a serena has spent most of his life on the war to use the fisherman just like others and his family. but things are different now from when he was a boy. in 2022 long days mcgarr would declared and endangered species. some of the family i pulled off today, he's taking us to the band. so if the only stop leak in central den bode yeah. he sees that he used to see monkeys in droves. him hunting for crap. i mia the more now. so that's why i don't see that. and um, what did it rain? molnar?
