dropped to levels last see that 3 years ago during the whole house, both london confounding expectations produced prime minister. she soon because of to go to the polls months earlier than expected in a rain drenched downing street, she called a general election for the 4th of july. tanya, today i spoke with his majesty the king to request the dissolution of the king has grown to this request and we will have a general election on the 4th of july. the opposition labor party needed no encouragement. they've held a consistent lead in the opinion polls of some 20 percentage points for months time . now said q a stomach for change. but the label is a photo for stability. economic and political politics, the tribes more likely own lives, a vote to stop the chaos or she soon act has taken a decision that olds with some within his own party who called him madness to go to the country. when you're so far behind in the polls,

it seems the prime minister has decided that after a poor showing the local elections and with room is a dissatisfaction with his leadership inside the party. the things are unlikely to get any better. the prime minister insists there is a plan and the plan is working. but many people see too little evidence of that in failing public services and no into small bud crossings of the channel. despite a plan to send us time, she goes to the one to 2 next promise to keep for it and secure a head of what he describes is the most dangerous. he is since the cold war and to restore the economy to health. the prime minister pointed to folding installation as a sign that he's potty is best place to end 3 years of a cost of living crisis. you phone, the voters will give it 5 more years in downing street during the whole elder 0 london as well. let's take you to the wrong now where the body of there all the lights present a problem. lacey has arrived in the eastern city of the jones,

as his funeral continues, thousands of gather industries to pay that final respects on the 4th official day a morning later on thursday. right? yes, he's probably will be taken to his hometown of my shop for burial in the northeast of the country. several foreign guests, including the theatre, comes home, the foreign ministers of egypt, and turkey, and the prime ministers of a rock and punk installed and many more in town to convey that condolences for easy and 8 others, including the farm and it still were killed in a helicopter crash near the us of on board. on sunday, we'll continue to follow events events through the day here on out to sara. and of course, you could also follow all stories on our website to talk to the dot com to stay with us, the listing post, the sectarian. this is terry, at the scenes of unity within india as vibrant tapestry as election for the sweeps,

the nations to childhood friends find their relationship unraveling as they pulled to opposing polls. can the friendship survive, the political divide and the world's largest democracy? india is fractured. witness on i will just that we're now 8 months into the war on gods and the is really narrative that it will there replicate from us is unraveling from, with you plus the coverage of 2 critically important elections. so that's where the state on the news channel is under the gun in india, where artificial intelligence is wreaking havoc on the truth the this past week, the x ray, the military intensified it's assault on both ends of garza, north and south journalist are saying the bombing in the north is worse than

anything they have seen since october 7th. at the outset of this genocide, a war israel said it would destroy a mazda completely the return of its operations in northern godsa, where the israelis had said they had dismantled, come off, is one more assigned, that is really, leaders have overestimated the capabilities of their own forces and there was disquiet amongst the generals divisions within the ranks. the defense minister has laid into benjamin netanyahu saying the prime minister has some decisions to make on a post war plan for gaza across the board or in egypt. there are signals coming out on state controlled media outlets that the authorities in cairo are losing patience with the israeli government. still, this is a war. the vast majority of his rantings continue to support. and the domestic and media coverage that they are seeing as one sided as it is, is a major reason for the,

the intensity of what we are now seeing in cost makes it feel like we have entered some kind of times. remember this from israel's military spokesman, goofy. i'm the, what's a phone? don't come into the unit that's ation or from us. that was 4 months ago in january . then why are the, is release bombings that same area the north of casa, again, now, because back dismantling never happened. it was propaganda. israel's lack of a coherent military strategy is now being revealed by as really, officials themselves with a career defined and developing between the defense minister and the prime minister over what happens when this war ends the prospect of israel taking over garza and recycling it meat. but i thought the gum, i, mr. kenneth pharmacademic name shots very, very little face slightly bill to

a lot of you know, i'm donna said that he was entirely opposed to a military government overdoes up and also to a civilian occupation over boswell, making very, very clear the rift between himself. i'm miss m, yahoo! so this is being interpreted as guidelines trying to shed light on the strategic disagreement about the future of the assault me. the growing signs of bonnie's within the it's really military 1st surfaced this past week through a series of leaks that appeared to be calling the name of some kind of e mail and a guy swear to come out of what all the best for me. and then, you know, several senior officers criticized benjamin netanyahu for a troubling lack of

a post war plan. for gods and what size and color involving contempt. surely the mamma, the option, i'm world a color touch web. the generals did not go on the record, but by sneaking out anonymous and collectively, they put the lack of a plan for the day after front and center. in israel's discussion of the war, one war becomes prolonged and there is no clear exit strategy. military generals often will come together and start swinging statements that reflect a lack of confidence and the wave of government has been administrating the war. and so the, the coordination of generals austin signals the fear of the military is frustrated with the conduct of the direction of the war. and what's become clear, what the pro long of the war is that there is no clear tactical operational objective or clear exit strategy. since the beginning of the world, we've been hearing similar messages of discomfort that there's no strategic plan or

angle from retired military officials. that we're seeing it now coming from serving military officials and that it's happening in a more coordinated manner. really reflects the growing frustration, you know, for it is not a means by itself it's, it's a means of reacting to or creating different realities. and if you don't know what that reality is, then yours sentencing yourself to and was fighting which, you know, unfortunately is the past 100 years of israel palestine, when it comes to his reading media itself. there have been no filters to life now. don't show much. does uber much was michelle blame, they've made are incredibly consignment, tree statements that have indicated somehow in this case, the genocide which is role now has to answer for me. you've also had is really media, be very sanitized. i mean, the majority of his re, these don't actually realize the she extent of destruction and yet, and you have numerous opinion polls showing that the majority of israelis support

the continuation of this on so on where you have those that according to the end of it, it's more to do with the fact that they want that their hostages back rather than the sheer scale of, of, of loss of life that causes are experiencing right now and will continue to experience this really governance will have also detected some ominous signs coming out of egypt with which it has had a piece feel invoice since the camp david agreement in 1978. first, the cc government indicated it would sign up to south africa's genocide case at the international court of justice, which no one saw coming. then there was a call from a prominent egyptian talking here to walk away from the camp david's. and i'm sure the other player and i have a good and a miss, stephanie, but as you won't have to tell him because he thought you would ask what the hell is

. and that was followed by an ambiguous morning to objections. about what may lie a head in the gaze home for the far, the more i saw that either or is it gets solved. egyptian intelligence agencies maintain a firm grip on the countries. media outlets which suggest on the change in messaging is coming from the very top. egypt has been very um, you know that very much the team created into what has happened since the 7th of october. 5th is really p on management for the regime time where many have been wanting bodies monitoring, catastrophe and so now, so to me, to, to see egypt now allowing to sort of criticism of the camp david greene within its own state sponsored media. that is all very indicative of,

of every team that's trying to say, face. now the government might be using this media and these anchors as a way to accomplish 3 things. now the 1st is that there is increasing frustration with the needs of some population. but how their government has been treating the situation in gaza signaling and we hear you and we're reflecting your frustration. the 2nd is to the american government, is that the diction government today is increasingly on shore of where it says, given that there have been aspects of the camp david agreement that are on the brink of being violated. and so here is signaling to the us. what are you going to do about it? and the 3rd, it's actually signaling to not 10 yahoo, the frustration within the egyptian government. these really have taken for granted that the 2 neighbors that it has peace with egypt and jordan are not big sounds from us. and therefore implicitly supported the goal of getting rid of them. but the fact that egypt joined the i c j. k. so i'm genocide should be

a shock to be as early as i'm not sure that they're prepared to to even receive warning. so h months into it's janice side, a war on gosh, israel is growing more i some politically, but also culture with this really versus musicians. filmmakers and publishers saying they are being shunned around the world. but rather than provoking a re, a re examination of the strategy, the pressure from the outside seems to be stiffening attitudes and the blame for that will always start with the politicians involved. but the is really mean by letting so much genocide, a language go unchallenged at times, making it their own will never lift this down for you. i've done my own and showing the left hand from the media narrative in israel is in. so,

and it's central to public a thing, people think that israel's isolation and the canals isolation is actually going to put pressure on these really public to end is rain. so what we're seeing on the media is this kind of most saw narrative or sounds and narrative, but it's being pushed that i'm sure we are all alone. wonderful. have a home. i was looking for the side picture of it. look show over sure. the middle. okay. and the home you must be brought to m as in kite. i'm really, i'm really kind of full time with all the same for the hotel surely. so i mean, i get it all. it's more. we had no friends. we always have ourselves to rely on. nobody's with us. let's assume that model is the image shown today is a degree in metals. i believe my not the one on the moon. and that actually kind of creates this heart and show from critique in which any

critique becomes perceived as part of this. everyone is our enemy, everyone is against us. one of the major things of this war has been just parallel realities. that different groups of people are living in and is really, is, are living in a reality that in which regular gardens almost do not exist. the media is focusing exclusively on victim hub and on the american military narrative of, of what's being accomplished without at all, discussing the costs of this. i hop out of this mission out the salad toner. that's what does that. it makes them double down which makes it more and more of the next essential issue. and it's a little bit of a feedback loop because they're just simply not being given the language to, to imagine that something can be done differently. that there could be diplomatic solutions, perhaps not killing everybody. is a way of doing things. so for africans are voting this month. and for the 1st

time in 30 years, the ruling african national congress party v a n c may fail to win an absolute majority. the parties response to that seems to include meddling with the national broadcaster, s a b c. mean obviously robbie is here with more b, n c's rise to power to 1994 mocked the end of south africa's apartheid data. however, it's on the back foot in the selection with crime unemployment. i'm corruption among the issues in a country where they shouldn't. equality means that the ality. so the party has to internal santia and it's messaging. talking back to the days of nelson mandela and the amc is central role in ending apartheid, we have restored our pete po's dignity together. one of the key narratives, the n c is backing is about the formation of a possible coalition government. it might be forced to put it together. this was an ad put out by the mean opposition group in the democratic alliance or d. image acquired the scene between the amc and file and e, f, f m,

as whom of function. and then this quantity shift corruption lives with on the to get twist. the ad had some shock value, but the public broadcaster icbc was having none of it. i s a b c as it rejected the d h a. d, a said the s a b, c's rejection was the result of an st into fusions. and that story of the amc has control and manipulation of the country's largest. broad costa has dominated popular discussion. it was turbo charged by the fact that last month, the head of a c, b. c. news which will show morality was summoned by the state security agency to take a polygraph test suspiciously close to the election. what many called a pressure tactic, a desperate if the strains to say you once in a time seems to be subjected to this level of the to work and see it has a long history of integrating with the cdc on the former president jacobs, who might join us what you showed a happy news quote, to people over government failures. things would be less and saudi is under

incumbent presidency. the pull so, but with the elections disclose the icbc is clearly getting squeezed. thanks me off in the world of politics. optics are everything the way things look can be as important as the way they really are bending. the truth can be part of the job. and artificial intelligence is here to help. the biggest selection process in history is currently underway in india and so called a deep fix, highly realistic, entirely fake a are generated videos and audio are everywhere. voters are seeing celebrities endorsing candidates. they never actually endorsed and dead politicians coming back to life, saying, or doing things they never actually said or did aware of the power of perception, political parties, including prime minister and the rent remote is b, j. p. are jumping on this technology, just wave outs. and it's not just india, because this is an election year for more than half of the world's population. and that has analyst warning that generative ai poses

a threat to democracy. but listening posts, joanna, who's now on technology that enables politicians to not just make fake content that looks real, but provides them with an opening to dismiss. we'll contact a stake. what i've name is phonology is new for me, but yeah, it is. okay. and there's something you want, whether you want to make this good us to put a star up scientists or us getting input or them, or to think events on the paintings. but if it is not able to do it can be will be very destructive to the extent that we can't even imagine a vivian dressing jones is known as the indian deed faker is company produces images, videos, and audio that look and sound real quick are entirely safe generated through artificial intelligence for years just don't reserved is a trickery for bollywood swapping the bodies and faces of celebrities for

entertainment. but in the lead up to in the general election, he discovered a lucrative, new market politics. we started getting a lot of requests from political parties and with the agencies part of the funds on more than one good request from different parties, particular categories around 50 bucks and what unethical request one is to solve the vsoft opening to be done on who so i'm wondering what should be the old that might impact his image. the 2nd thing is to pull the w screening also opening the door and making me see something that he has never said that can impact. does it mean what was once hypothetical, all deep sites going to have a big impact on elections? all people going to try and use these in various melissa, as contexts is. novi that, that to cool globally, we've seen a huge increase in the amount of defects being used in political context, specifically to try and disrupt elect or processes or to spread this information.

they all doing it and they're doing it at scale and not just in india, around the world. dfcs got their start in, nor proceed fake non consensual, sexual imagery posted online, but used as a tool to jew mislead generative a. i inevitably came crashing into the world of politics. the world's biggest ever election is currently on folding in india, with nearly a 1000000000 indians registered to vote. political parties including prime minister and the render modi's, tech savvy b j. p. are using old tools in their arsenal to sway voters, including a deep fakes, are used to send personally as messages to indians, even bring deceased politicians back to life with home synthetic content is more malicious like fake video of celebrity criticising mode. movie compatibility. here we go. this she gave hockey post celebrate cookie. how many do keywords,

even part of medical, how many vehicles got you go? how many, many like the indian authorities are playing catch up, trying to hunt down those behind the bible. deep face, the, by the time they catch them, in most cases, the damage has already been done. we don't know what the true impact could be off of in deep fakes and their ability to influence for us it's, they know entities. but there was a survey done by a cyber phone called mcafee saying, over the last 12 months, or was 75 percent of indians had been exposed to deep fig content either by way of audio or video. i think it often works in the interest of political bodies do have degrees zones on what a does on what the fix to on what misinformation this information and feed me was does so obviously fake re i even manipulation media has been around for a long time but what's really different about the intakes and just the realism of

the outputs that cannot be generated. and the problem is that the deed takes, don't just make a things look real. but it also provides plausible deniability. and the reason that people could use to doubt whether real things, all right, and dismissed them as the fact that problem is known as the liars dividends. the benefit that anyone, including politicians, can get from the existence of these things to be able to cast down to reality and dismiss inconvenient facts. it creates a kind of family skepticism or content, including what is real, can be valued, and that's the residence to pay off for anyone who's out to this inform you about a lady from boston who told us about odd knew that it has a video and did think that the opening might split that video, that renewal orders, and then he told me that video is always gonna know what he told me. you won't have to create

a detailed with us will be denied if we don't do it. the open 10 of these are normal and we have to solve the face of the same person on the same video what it should look like or do you think? well that one's the opening dispatcher to be able to spread it more than that and you don't reason, i did this not to that. so do you think we do? so this was very, very clear to politicians in india generating low quality video as of themselves. so extreme juxtaposed that against to potentially authentic video and say, hey, it's on feet. there was a case a couple of months ago, we're in a southern indian politician said that a lot of his unique audio was fake. and when fact checkers and those that are specialist in the area went back and examined, did they found that box of the order will fix but parts of the or do will actually go think that and i think that's going to be a huge theme going into a 2024 which is an election. you'll find some pleasure, but this is almost the kind of epistemic no, i listen. if i say to you, okay, well,

you need to know that everything that you now see and hit could be i generate. it could be fake, but i can't really tell you how to figure out what is real. that leads to i, they have an impulse. i do think that this is a really tricky moment where awareness of deep face is growing. i get, we don't have in place solution approaches, legislative approaches to sort of respond and help people understand back to what they see as every legislators are struggling to keep pace with the technology. last year, the indian government said that it did not intend to regulate ai, 3 months ago, just prior to the election campaign. it changed its mind. after a journalist off google's, a software gemini, whether result moody, was a fascist, and the a i both answered yes. gemini justified, it's characterization on the root, and parties quote into nationalist ideology is correct down on defend and its use

of violence against religious minorities, facts, many human rights organizations agree on. but an answer the b j. p co biased and that's one of the many problems with regulating generative ai who should define what's the accurate escal and on ethical sit ted content. and who should have the responsibility to decide what content needs to be, fly this faith. and when it does, does it wants to be the of each and everyone is the responsibility of all the interest that i spend is points me to be able to pick next on the meta make, make a and if that is, once we get the all clear does like us and even though what does it any one thing that is escalating your emotions wouldn't actually what you should stop and think about is that appreciate it or not, or what still people want to see what they want to see. so if anyone dentist aligning with their preconceived notions, they are not going to fit what they want to believe that they are going to go it's, it's a big issue. and it's very concerning. concerning noticed in india,

but the world over a year when more than half of the globes population in more than 60 countries is heading to the pools. a all analyst warren, that synthetic content is left on checked good influence with billions of voters and democratic processes. the problem isn't just a i, it's the political context in which this comes and drives a polarized world in which politicians like to render moody from the flames, subdivision jobs, the somebody that part of the problem. i think when we talk about the i or defects and we talk about the impact and democratic process is around the world, india is a good example to think hard about what's going on there on the ground. you have the prime minister in good standing up and singing out a single community and with simple condition in india,

identifying them as infantry to us as the evils potty, tacking india and whom do is depicted as gods and goddesses trying to protect their space. what it is reflecting is deep societies conflict, and i think a, i wouldn't add one level of complexity to it, but it would be even most of us to not accept the fact that the authenticity very deep problems. lee. and finally, last week, the new york times published a story about the coverage of gaza. that was more revealing than the paper probably intended the piece focused on alternative new sites, including alger 0 that are proven popular with younger american audiences these days, including student protest to the article said that all the major news outlets like the new york times and cnn have reported extensively on israel's campaign in gaza. the coverage in the view of student protesters doesn't assign enough blame to is real for palestinian depths. but in that same article,

the time says to algebra journalists have died since the start of the war. died of what cancer? one of those journal this summer i will duck was targeted by and is really drone. you know, not shell, that is the new york times telling its readers what young americans subject to and it's reporting. and then doing more audit. what's the next time here at the listening post? there's a next generation in the united states. they're not happy with what is happening and they're not happy with the u. s. foreign policy. and that's why they're trying to make their voices heard. the administrators of each university really have a choice to either escalate and calling police, be confrontational, or actually listening to what their concerns are. city stream of people being arrested, placed in the zip tie and cops and taken away many of the purchases we talked to

have said they will continue protesting until their demands are met. the brutal motors that ignited the country and k o l g 0. well, goes to gammon with political schools in the 1980s was settled by assessing that was a big black hole coming battle in which south humans president was positive with debt to be gay. i refused to give them my head, will give up power the killing of south him and the politicians during a routine cabinet meeting. a 1986, an estimate of an assassination on al jazeera. i want people to look closer at the ugly side of his eye point by camera aware of this, prefer not to look i'm right about what it means to be american and about the ordinary people who get caught up us worse filmmaker ralph tags and also viet time when on the power of political lot,

what i'll just story is retail sales about also and how do we base our past to change our future studio be unscripted to upon one on i will just sierra, the refuge in golf. those resources for me, most of the schools sheltering display civilians killing 5 idols and 5 children for the civilized headquarters here in the also coming up as well because it's on basset is from island spain. and no way after they announced the recognition of a palestinian states thousands got the to pay respects to the late to radian present it by.
