5:30 am
level they own mexican government officials say an investigation into the deadly accident is now underway. when will that happen to al jazeera mexico city? at least 4 people have been killed and 21 injured off to a 2 story building collapsed on the spanish island. new york, several people believe to be trapped under the debris of a beach side, restaurants, police save the fuel collapse, causing people to fall into the basement where they were also, all the customers installed. a k prime minister wishes to knock in this opposition live or have kicked off 6 weeks of election campaigning for next announcement or for a snap election has been described as a gamble. but the name of the policy leading in opinion polls lay benita case. selma is hoping to see his policy return to power off to 14 years. during the whole reports from hitchin in south east in england. they want to the surprise general election campaign and in britain's town square as this little sign,
5:31 am
yet to defend faren how springs the leaflets and activists that will show they arrive for the main party leaders. the campaign is in full swing with stump speeches, hammering home key messages, the prime minister in dumpy shell. it's been a real privilege to be with you. thank you for your questions. thank you for what your day and i'll hopefully i'll get your support a few weeks thoughts. all right, 5, i bought a position to labor productivity. the customer was in kent. so this is hit shooting and how it fits you. traditionally, the conservative probability this time around late, but it's the sort of place that illustrates how the election is likely to go. according to the opinion polls. which way do you think it will go? labor? why racing sudden? so yeah, i'm please, there isn't that action because part so they will get a better government in the end of everyone's in the same one with another. i think
5:32 am
that it needs to change because it will pete again. the positive, remember, has been posting on average 20 points, the head of the conserves deposit for many months now, thanks to folding, living standards, record high taxes and failing public services. the current calculus suggests a swing of government seats to the opposition that could be the largest since the 2nd world war. so that while bar is johnson's victory in 2019 was characterized by the fall of so called red will seats and traditional labor party working class areas. the very opposite could happen. this time, the collapse of the conservative blue will in places like kitchen. joe, the whole elder 0 in hospice. you. okay, that's it for me. money inside to stay with us. the on counting the costs but us escalates its trade with china, but does it have the upper hand to the sugar industry is in crisis. other parts of
5:33 am
its full spring economy could also be effective. plus the moving shortage and critical minerals needed for the energy transition. counting the cost on al jazeera, 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 to critically important election. 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, this really military intensified. it's a salt 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
5:34 am
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, gosh, makes it feel like we have entered some kind of times. remember this from israel's
5:35 am
military spokesman, goofy. i'm know, but the phone don't come is good at that station 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 restructuring it meat but i thought the gum, i mr. kenneth pharmacademic name shots vi eve is what i'll face slightly built to what i was gonna said that he was entirely opposed to a military government overdoes up and also to
5:36 am
a civilian occupation over guys are making very, very clear the rift between himself 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 is really military 1st surfaced this past week through a series of leaks that appeared to be calling the name of some kind of an e mail and a guy swear the front door to the bathroom and then your several senior officers criticized benjamin netanyahu for a troubling lack of a postwar plan. for gods and what size and color involvement contrib. surely the mom adoption on the world. the cupboard that you love. the generals did not go on
5:37 am
the record, but by sticking 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. when war becomes pro long and there is no clear exit strategy. military generals often will come together and start issuing 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 that they're, the military is frustrated with the conduct of the direction of the war. and what's become clear with the pro long of the war is that there is no clear technical operational objective or clear exit strategy since the beginning of the war. 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 anymore. coordinating manner really
5:38 am
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 you're 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 dispute and much was michelle blame. they've made, are incredibly inflammatory statements that have implicated somehow in this case the genocide which is role now has to answer for you've also had is really media, be very sanitized. i mean, the majority was rate. these don't actually realize the she the 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
5:39 am
the sheer scale of, of loss of life that causes are experiencing right now and will continue to experience vs really, government will have also detected some ominous science come and out of each with which it has had a piece steal 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. and i'm sure the play and i as we better do more headaches and a mistakenly. but 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 ahead in the gaze home for the summer. that eyes owed,
5:40 am
as he gets solved, egyptian intelligence agencies maintain a firm grip on the country's media outlets, which suggests the change in messaging is coming from the very top. egypt has been very um, you know, that very much detail implicated into what has happened since the 13th of october. this is really p on management for the redeem a time when many of the morning products 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 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
5:41 am
with the needs of some population. but how they're in 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. it is that the adoption 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 3rd, it's actually signaling to not 10 yahoo, the frustration within the addiction government. these realize have taken for granted that the 2 neighbors that it has peace with egypt and jordan are not big fans 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 or at least, but i'm not sure that they're prepared to, to even receive warning. so h months into which genocide a war on,
5:42 am
gosh, israel is growing more i so politically, but also culture, which is really artists, 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 as really mean by letting so much genocidal language go unchallenged at times, making it their own will never lift this down for you off the phone and show the laughter yet from the media. narrative is real. is insane. and it's central to public. the thing people think that israel, the installation and the canals i solution is actually going to put pressure on
5:43 am
these really public to end is rain. so what we're seeing on the media is this kind of must saw narrative or sound scenario, but it's being pushed and that i'm sure we are all alone on. so have a home. i was looking for a full be side picture of it. look, show over, show a little okay. and a home with you must be brought to m as in kite. uh, i'm really, i'm really kind of full time on the same full day of school. definitely. so i mean, i guess it's more, we have no friends. we always have ourselves to rely on nobody's with us in the beginning of showing that there is a degree in mental i believe my not little and again another 2 minutes. 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,
5:44 am
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 hood and on the american military narrative of, of what's being accomplished without at all, discussing the costs of this. i'll hop out of this mission of the salad phone. it is 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
5:45 am
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 and corruption among the issues in a country where nation and equality means that the ality. so the party has to internal santia and it's messaging hocking 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 modest is the n c is backing is about the formation of a possibly coalition government. it might be forced to put together. this was an ad put out by the main opposition group in the democratic alliance or d image a quad machine between the amc and the file and e, f, f m, as whom of function. and then this quantity ship corruption lice with on the to get twist. the add had some shock value, but the public broadcaster icbc was having none of it. i s a b c as of rejected the
5:46 am
d h a d, a said the c b. c's rejection was the result of insight into filters and that story of the amc has control and manipulation of the country's largest. broad costa has dominated popular discussion. it was double charged by the fact that last month, the head of a b. c. news which will show my daughter 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, 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 or in the world of politics. optics are everything the way things look can be as
5:47 am
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 a wrench, 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. the listening posts joanna, who's now on technology that enables politicians to not just make fake content that
5:48 am
looks real, but provides them with an opening to dismiss real content as fake. what i have name is acknowledges me with a for me, but yeah is of good. and yourself, the one bed that you want to make this good us to put a star up scientist, or us getting input or a murder depends on the paintings. but if it is not able to do it can be will be very destructive. will they explain? that'd be can't even imagine vivian dressing. joe jones is known as the indian deep faker. his 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
5:49 am
a lot of requests from political parties and with the agencies part of the funds on more than willing to request from different parties, particular categories around 50 bucks and what unethical request. one is to solve the based off of one entity that upon who. so i'm wondering what should it be the old that might impact his image. the 2nd thing is to hold the weiss groaning also opening the door and making me say 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, not just in india around the world. dfcs got their start in, nor proceed fake non consensual, sexual imagery posted online, but used as
5:50 am
a tool to jew mislead, generates evey. i inevitably came crashing into the world of politics. of 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 a vendor 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 personal life messages to indians, even bring deceased politicians back to life with home sympathetic 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,
5:51 am
by the time they catch them. in most cases the damage has already been done. or we don't know what the true impact could be off of it and deep fakes and their ability to influence for us. it's 1090 days, but there was a survey done by a cyber phone calls, mcafee singled with the last 12 months, or was 75 percent of indians had been exposed to the faith content either by way of audio or video. i think it often works in the interest of political bodies do have degrees owns on what it does on what the fix to on what misinformation this information and feed me was does so obviously fake re i eat. the manipulation media has been around for a long time, but what's really different about the face and just the realism of the outputs that cannot be generated. and the problem is that the deed sites don't just make things look real. but it also provides plausible deniability. and the reason that people
5:52 am
could use to doubt whether real things, all right, and dismiss the as fact that problem is known as the liars dividends. the benefit that anyone, including politicians, can get from the existence of deep stakes 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 that evidence to pay off for anyone who's out to this, inform me about a lady from the boston who told us about odd knew that it has a video and did think that the opening might spread that video that really was ordered. and then he told me that video is always gonna know what he told me. you won't have to create a detailed and you'll still be denied. if you don't do that, if it's the open 10 of these, i don't know where to solve the face of the same person on the same video, but it shouldn't look like a new thing. so that one's the opening to spread so you'd be able to spread it more
5:53 am
than that and you don't read tonight. that is not cool that so do you think we do? so this was very, very clear to politicians in india, generating low quality videos 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 where in a southern indian politician said that a lot of his unique audio was fake. and when fact checkers and those that a specialist in the area went back and examined, did they found that box of the order will fix. but parts of the order will actually go offended and i think that's going to be a huge theme going in to 2024, which is an election. you'll find some pleasure. but this is almost the kind of epistemic nihilism. if i say to you, okay, well, you need to know that everything that you now see and here it could be i generate, it could be fake. but i can't really tell you how to figure out what is real. that
5:54 am
needs to either have an impulse. i do think that this is a really tricky moment where awareness of the page is growing. i get, we don't have in place solution approaches, legislative approaches to sort of respond and help people understand that 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 in the a i both answered yes. gemini justified, it's characterization on the root and parties quote into nationalist ideology. it's clicked down on the send and it use of violence against religious minorities, facts, many human rights organizations agree on. but an answer the b j. p co biased and
5:55 am
that's one of the many problems with regulating generative a guy who should define what's the accurate escal and an ethical, ted combs and, and who should have the responsibility to decide what content needs to be, fly this faith. and when it is, does responsibility of the to 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 the voters, just and 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 any year when more than half of the gloves population in more than 60 countries is heading to the pools. a all analyst warren,
5:56 am
that synthetic content is left on checked good influence with billions of voters and democratic processes. for the problem isn't just a i, it's the political context in which this content 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 just 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,
5:57 am
i would add one level of complexity to it, but it would be even mr. foss 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 protesters. the article said that all the major news outlets like the news york times and cnn have reported extensively on israel's campaign in gaza . the coverage in the view of student protesters doesn't assign. i'm not 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 in
5:58 am
a not shell. that is the new york times telling its readers what young americans subject to and it's reporting and then doing more of it. we'll see you next time. here at the listening thoughts there's a next generation in the united states, they're not happy with what is happening in gaza. 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 to actually listen to what their concerns are. city stream of people being arrested, placed in the zip tie and cups and taken away. many of the purchases we've talked to have said they will continue protesting until their demands are met. to
5:59 am
interrogate the narrative is the u. s. has continued support for israel affecting it's global standing. there's no question about the united states is effectively complicit to the genocide challenge. the rhetoric. yes, they look that correct, but so in the international community, can we also say that dells? the cornerstone of democracy is having a free and open democratic pro upfront without israel's war on god becoming a forever across the united states. why are the student protests for palestine being met with military style track down wide is by to insist on 0 consequences for israel in its war on gaza. the quizzical look of us politics, the bottom line, the
6:00 am
challenges with the . ready ready operating in the da c main hospital and central dogs, there's running out of fuel pushing the lives of mold of a 1000 patients at risk. the and so robin watching all just their life. my headquarters here in the also coming up is where the fault is bomb residential homes across garza killing at least 51 people in the past. 24 also has taiwan stands. defiance is trying to begins a 2nd day of military drills around to be on.
