temperatures are actually going to drop over the next couple of days look at this forty three on saturday but as we head into sunday thirty nine don't celebrate yet though the only reason the temperatures are coming down is because the humidity is rising and for the next few days it is going to be stifling very very humid very hot very muggy for us there's a bit more cloud around the south coast of oman that could just squeeze out the your share on the coast but most of his head will be dry as we head down towards the southern parts of africa mostly fine and settled for many of us here but you can see a bit more cloud that's working its way towards the southwest cape town will see the cloud at times during the day on saturday a few showers are likely and then gradually we'll see that push its way eastwards by the time we get to sunday it will be a lot cooler fresher so our maximum temperature will just be twelve. the weather sponsored by cat telling me he's. above the three big challenges facing

was once a bastion of catholicism the future of the church itself appears to be in question they have barco reports from dublin the vatican flag flies over the irish capital it's thirty nine years since the last papal visit congregation numbers are falling but more than seventy percent of people identify here as catholic. when john paul the second came in one nine hundred seventy nine three quarters of ireland came out to welcome him since then there's been a massive social revolution divorce contraception gay marriage abortion all predicted by the church and now legal and the church now faces perhaps its biggest challenge in modern times its legacy of child sex abuse survivors want pope francis to take robust action according to church papers thirteen hundred priests have been accused of abuse in ireland since one thousand nine hundred eighty five but there have been less than one hundred convictions what i want from the pope i want the

pope to start realizing that the church can't continue this charade any longer. vincent he was molested by two priests whilst at school i was abused in one nine hundred sixty nine on and the nine year old boy finishing up than in junior school the first pretty certain i felt who had an interest in prepubescent boys was actually trying to enjoy horses was to try a way can in you your first sexual experience there was an open wound in irish society in nearly every diocese in every corner of the country there were victims of clerical abuse many of them were silenced or ignored for decades these were serious crimes carried out by so-called men and women of god crimes the pope cannot ignore the head of his visit pope francis issued a statement to the world's one point two billion catholics asking them to help brutality what he described as a culture of death. pope francis has gone further than any other pope in addressing

abuse the victims want him to do more to hold the guilty to account and fully disclose what the vatican. colm o'gorman was fourteen years old when he was raped by a roman catholic priest he's now the head of amnesty international in ireland we have to speak out to ensure that the vatican is subjected to proper accountability and i'm not the only way we big we can be confident that we've done everything we can an hour to protect children unwinnable adults wherever they may be pope francis is at across the catholic world as a reformer but can he restore faith in catholicism the biggest risk to the church is future in ireland is the church itself at al-jazeera doubling. the u.s. is cutting more than two hundred million dollars in aid from its programs in gaza and the west bank it's already withheld sixty five million dollars from the un relief agency for the palestinians. at least one hundred eighty nine people have

been injured in friday's protests on gaza's border with israel palestinians have been demonstrating at the fence each week for more than three months now they're demanding a right to return to their ancestral lands shall stratford has more from the gaza israel border. this is the twenty second week in a row that we've seen these protests on friday along the gaza israel we've seen a lot of gas fired in the last couple of hours what sounds like live ammunition as well i think it's fair to say though that there are less people here this week than we have seen in recent weeks hamas says that the protesters have every right to continue these demonstrations and will continue them i must say until israel's near twelve year land air and sea blockade is lifted now so many people here we've been speaking to this speculation that one of the reasons why the protests the protests have been less this week is because we are expecting a resumption of these talks being mediated by the egyptians in cairo between hamas

the armed factions and israel israel denies that there is any direct conversation going on between them and how mass but we do know that the egyptians have been very keen i've been working very hard to get both parties to. agree to some sort of last thing ceasefire here we also understand that fatah will be sending a delegation from ramallah to participate in those talks as well there are concerns that anything that is seen by either side as being a provocation could initiate another escalation in violence between hamas and israel and of course that would seriously jeopardize those talks in cairo. i need to promote iran has broken hand between the u.s. and pakistan's new government the two countries disagree of what's been said in a phone call between pakistan's prime minister imran khan and u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh washington says it stands behind it's only

a statement that pompei was specifically discussed terrorism islamabad says that didn't happen iraq comes ahead of a planned visit by pompeo to islamabad in the first week of september. i mean we need to understand the desires of the united states and they need to understand ours it is not a unilateral relationship these are bilateral times in a relationship that is bilateral and in which the objective is common you do have to understand each other we will not just understand them but we will also make them understand our. u.s. senator john mccain is stopping treatment for his brain cancer his family says he has quote surpassed expectations for survival the prominent republican u.s. senator and two thousand and eight presidential election candidate announced he had the disease last year mccain's a distinguished military veteran who spent years as a prisoner of war in vietnam. there is no safe level of alcohol consumption that's according to

a study in the lancet medical journal that looked at alcohol intake in one hundred ninety five countries and it found that even an occasional glass increases the risk of health problems the report attributes two point eight million deaths worldwide each year to all and it found that an average of two drinks a day led to a seven percent rise in disease compared to people who didn't drink it all. as from the university of washington he's the study's lead author and he says any benefit of drinking alcohol is far outweighed by the risks. both diabetes and heart disease which have on occasion and protect that but we've also looked at a whole lot of battery of concept specific like cancers wide range of down some you know all diseases and injuries found that when you take into consideration all of these factors there's no real benefit to drinking across the spectrum is the study will consider cutting your consumption in half or just

a little bit any amount can be hugely beneficial given the shape of the risk for it rises exponentially with consumption so we're very heavy drinker you'll see huge benefits by cutting down by a drink or day and if you're still drinking one drink per day you'll see huge benefits of the down as well he said re not every year you have a seven out of one hundred cans a developing one is condition and when we look at the global population that's an immense amount of our the average male drinker it's now consuming around two drinks per day a lot of recommendations still say up to two drinks per day is good for your health want to counter that evidence by really looking at the full spectrum of the research that's been performed on all. this is our jazeera these are the top stories donald trump says china is to blame for a lack of progress on the denuclearization of north korea it's the first time he's acknowledged problems with the deal he signed in june with north korea's leader kim

taking place on the border areas of good day oh and west those are the headlines next on al-jazeera it's talk talk to syria by for that. in an instantly shifting news cycle the listening post takes calls and questions the wild media exposing how the press operates and why certain stories take precedence or ignored the listening post on al-jazeera. all. you can. see. a few years ago you've all know harare's job description was relatively simple a professor at jerusalem's hebrew university specializing in medieval history and a citizen to broaden his canvas led to a nonfiction publishing phenomenon and his elevation to one of the world's best known public intellectuals it came in the form of sapiens harari sweeping energising history of our species from its birth to the present day charting the

effects of farming technology and culture in the formation of what he argues is now one global civilization it one huge praise and huge sales eight million and counting next to his home of davis an exploration of how the confluence of big data artificial intelligence and biotech could radically alter and divide society and humanity perhaps ending our species altogether or our himself tries to stay at one remove from the data revolution he meditates two hours a day he doesn't own a smartphone now comes a collation of his recent work essays talks responses to readers brought together as twenty one lessons for the twenty first century all of the lessons often read more as observations of trends that aren't likely to end well for homo sapiens i spoke with professor harare recently in tel aviv here's the first part of our conversation. you've all no hurry thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera it's my pleasure. you talk

a lot especially recently about the dizzying pace of change in the world and the accelerating nature of that change and whether human beings are really equipped to deal. with it your own life has gone through a huge amount of change in the last few years how are you dealing with it and what's it been like well it has been quiet quite a dizzying change as you say a couple of years ago i was just an anonymous professor in jerusalem specializing in medieval military history things like the crusades and the hundred years war and here i am now talking about cyborgs and artificial intelligence to the leaders of the world in the technological community so it's a very big change are my think i'm i'm coping well. and so what is your job description now i mean as you say your depression will background is as a historian you were doing you were doing that too obviously

a good deal of professional satisfaction and including but not with the kind of huge public profile not with a huge public impact that you have now so what how do you see your role now and what are the things that that you want to think about and talk about given the number of people that listen to you and read you know oh i still see myself as a story and i don't think that historians are a specialist in the past historians are specialists in change in how things change and they learn the nature of change by looking at the past but you know the past is gone everybody who lived in the past is dead nobody really cares about kings who lived thousands of years ago and battles that and that centuries ago the real question is what is happening right now what can we learn from the past about the future changes and what we should be doing and thinking today and they see my job as trying to bring more clarity to the public discussion because what i see today

in the world is that people are overwhelmed by information by misinformation by these traction and they don't. realize often what are the most important challenges and changes that we are facing i mean there is a fair bit of overlap among your three books so far but broadly the first was about the history of. peons and how we got to this point the second it was a pretty long look into the future of of our species this current book seems to be more urgent somehow that you're really trying to address the main challenges and threats that we face now right yeah. again the first book was about the past the second about the future but if you really learn anything from observing the long term past and history of human kind it must money first itself in how you behave

and what decisions you take in the present moment so this is why the corinth book is about what is happening right now about immigration and ter reason and climate change in the rise of nationalism and things like that and so what are in your view that the key challenges and threats that we face right now and going forward well there are three big challenges facing human kind in the twenty first century they are nuclear war climate change and technological disruption especially the rise of artificial intelligence and bioengineering this will change the world more than anything else nuclear war and climate change hopefully we can prevent them from happening so these are changes we try to avoid but technological disruption especially out official intelligence in bioengineering this is bound to happen we still says have some choice about what kind of impact ai and bioengineering

engineering will heaven the world but they will change the world maybe more than anything that happened previously in history and these are the main challenger. is anything else is a distraction so if we look at big data and ai and bioengineering the confluence of those of those things you say that we have some choices to how how we respond and how we try and tailor their effect but reading your book you seem to be pretty definitive about where this is going what do you think is going to happen and what is going to be the impact on all of us well some things are definitely going to happen for example our computers and robots replacing more and more human jobs but what will be the consequence of that will this create an extremely an equal society in which tiny elite controls all the economy and makes all the profits where is most humans become part of some kind of useless class this is not inevitable this

is up to us similarly the combination of ai and biotechnology means that we are very close to the point when you can hack human beings there is a lot of talk about hacking computers and emails and bank accounts but actually we are entering into the era of hacking humans and i would say the most important fact anybody who is alive today needs to know about the twenty first century is that we are becoming hackable animals this is the most important thing about what so how could will how how how are we becoming audible are we talking about what we read and and what we're told or are we talking about something deeper starts on the surface it starts and this is what we already see today it starts by having corporations and governments amass enormous amounts of data about where we go and

what we search online and what we buy and things like that but this is all surface and outside our behaving the world the big. watershed the big change will come once it starts penetrating inside inside your body once you can start monitoring and surveying what is happening inside your body inside your brain then you can really hack human beings and this is we're very close to it already a lot of people go about with you know fit bits that constantly measure their heart rate their blood pressure you cross that with what you buy and what you search online or what you read or watch or what you watch on television so you you watch a movie and at the same time netflix can know what is happening to your to your heart rate or your brain activity you need this is going inside the human body when you combine our increasing understanding of biology and especially brain science

with the enormous computing power that machine learning in ai is giving us what you get from that combination is the ability to hack humans which means to predict their choices to understand their feelings to manipulate them and also to replace them if you can hack something you can also replace it so this is the big issue it's not it won't happen in the year zero two but in ten twenty thirty years we are likely to reach a point when an external system knows you better than you know yourself it will never know you perfectly there is nothing perfect in the world there is no such thing as perfect knowledge on a zone or the government will never know you a hundred percent but he doesn't need to it just needs to know you better than you know yourself and this is not very difficult because most people don't know themselves very well a lot you're talking there about machine learning and ai a lot of the talk about

the concerns of for the future with ai taking an ever bigger role is that it could itself develop consciousness. you start to develop different goals from from its originators and thereby become a threat to humanity you seem a bit more sanguine about that aspect a specter of it why yeah i think the big dangers are to the job market the big danger is that it will serve to empower a small number of people and create a digital dictatorship i don't think it's not impossible but i think it's highly unlikely that in the near or even medium future ai will gain consciousness and start having feelings and desires of its own and start killing people because of that or this is science fiction i think i really like science fiction but i think the worst service that science fiction has done over the last few years is to

destruct people from the real dangers of ai and focus them on unrealistic scenarios are there is absolutely no indication that ai and computers are any were on the road to becoming conscious there is a big confusion both in the scientific community but especially in science fiction between intelligence and consciousness people think that out officially intelligence also implies artificial consciousness but they're two completely different things intelligence is the ability to solve problems consciousness is the ability to feel things like pain and pleasure and love and hate now in humans and other mammals like dogs or seem pansies it's true that consciousness and intelligence go together we solve problems by having feelings but computers work in a completely different way over the last decades computers have become extremely

intelligent but they are they have no consciousness and this is likely to continue . just like you know airplanes fly far faster than birds without ever developing feathers so computers are likely to become far more intelligent than humans with out ever developing consciousness. my personal impression is that all these science fiction movies about robots becoming conscious and conscious and then starting to kill people and things like that these are not about humans being afraid of intelligent robots actually these movies are about men being afraid of intelligent women because if you look carefully you will see that in almost all cases the scientist who develops the robot is men is a man and the robot is female like in westworld or in x. nothing around and these movies are actually about feminism about this male fear

that a we have created this thing and now it's becoming more intelligent and more powerful than us so it's a big distraction for the public i mean there is the famous thought experiment about the the ai which is just given one instruction to create paperclips you know destroys everything the entire planet by churning through all matter until everything is newspapers that doesn't need to be a conscious being in order to have a devastating effect that's true you don't need that if there is there is a more i mean these kinds of problems that you given a particular purpose and you don't really think through what the consequences will being this is already happening if you look at the way that what that other the rhythms shape the public discourse and are responsible for the for the spread of fake news then this problem is not science fiction it's reality you give the other glory of them of the social network the instruction maximize traffic on

my website this is the instruction and then the algorithm discovers without any consciousness just by analyzing data that if you push up. fantastic stories about all kinds of ridiculous things that never happened that make people angry or make because people excited these throws a lot of attention so nobody gave. the algorithm thing struction spread fake news but this is what the algorithm ends up doing in the service of the goal it was given which is to maximize our traffic on the website just the humans who gave the algorithm this goal maximize traffic they did not take into account that the best way or one of the best ways to maximize traffic is to make people angry and to make people are fearful by spreading fake news but this is the result we'll talk

about fake news more more later on but just on the idea that we stand at a place where we may soon become sort of in thrall to these sort of faceless consciousness beings to some extent haven't we lived in that world for a while i mean there is a thing called a corporation which is emerged without any. authorship other than originally to make money for its founders yes and suddenly after a few decades they take on a an essence of their own and suddenly have human being serving these corporations obviously that at the top they make money from it but they don't have any purpose but they do grow in the way they take over more and more of the world if they're successful. how is that different in order from what could happen with vastly powerful ai's serving these corporations and many others a big difference is that corporations and also also nations which is are also imaginary entities they still need humans to make all the important decisions are

but now with the development of ai more and more the important decisions will not be made by any human being they will be made by an allegory at them you may still want to keep a human being at the top as the c.e.o. of the corporation or the president of the country if not for any other reasons and just for the sake of appearance. but the actual decisions will not be taken by the c.e.o. or by the president the ai will present some choices and the president will choose ok let's do this but the choices are shaped by the way that the ai understands reality if you take something like the financial system already today the vast majority of people are incapable of understanding the financial system it's far too complicated and is the advance of ai it is likely to go beyond the ability of

any human being to understand it ai will work so fast we so much data it will create financial tools and financial systems which are far beyond human understanding and then when you need to make a big financial decision for the corporation or for the country no human is able to really understand what the options are it's too complicated so think about the situation not in a thousand years but in fifty years or thirty years when the key financial decisions are taken by an algorithm and no human being is able to understand why the algorithm chose this and not that if this town's against science fiction impossible just consider that this is already happening on a low level even today in many places around the world when you apply for a loan you go to the bank and you apply for a loan your application is don't being processed by any human being it is processed

by a big data algorithm that goes over more and more data about you not just financial data but even your facebook profile or your twitter account and based on enormous amounts of data the other rhythm decides whether to give you a loan or not and when you go you go to the bank to say that the algorithm said no don't give this person a loan is unreliable i looked at his facebook feed you. seems to be an unavailable person don't give him a lot he will never return it and the bank says no and you go to the bank and you say why not what's wrong with me and the bank says we don't know the algorithm said no and we've learned by experience that if we follow the advice of our algorithm then we make a lot of money because people return the loan if we think we are smarter than the algorithm then we make mistakes and on an evil long level on the individual level just look at how people have outsourced decision about you know nothing getting

your way around the city you need to go from point a to point b. previously you rely on your own personal knowledge and gut instincts over the last few years many people have learned that it's better to trust the google maps algorithm you reach an intersection your gut feeling tells you turn right but google says no no no turn left it's better you say what does google know what they are stupid i'll follow my instincts and you're stuck in traffic and your late next time you know better listen to the algorithm and within a year or two you lose the ability to navigate space by yourself because it's basically like a muscle if you don't use it you lose it so what's happening now with things like finding your way around the city in fifty years it can happen to finding the country's way around the financial markets. you talk about free will

about it being illusory self to a greater or lesser extent being illusory as well you know that we are a mass of neurons and sign ups is an biochemicals and the actions of external environmental actors on those processes all giving us this this feeling of ourselves which isn't necessarily true that that there is some sort of captain of the ship at the at the helm that being the case why is it so much more of a threat that another factor could enter into the system that fact of being ai in these big big data machines. well it's a question of it's not necessarily bent in many cases it's wonderful if you think about healthcare then an ai system that constantly monitor is your body can give you the best health care in history it's present say if you have cancer usually you discover it when the concert already spread and it's very difficult and

costly and painful to take care of it but a are a systems of money towards your body twenty four hours a day it's very likely that we could discover a console when it's just beginning and it's very easy and cheap to cure it so there are many benefits or to give another example if you think about again about the road car accidents traffic accidents today every one point twenty five million people are killed in traffic accidents around the world that's twice the number of people who die from violence from war crime into reason put together and the vast majority of traffic accidents are because of human error if you replace human drivers solve driving vehicles and algorithms you want to reduce traffic accidents to zero but it is likely that at least a million lives will be saved every year that's wonderful. so i'm not against

giving more authority to ai as a question is who is the master or who the ai who does it serve. does it serve a small elite of be corporations does it serve dictatorial governments or does it serve me the same technology can be used in very different ways you can use ai to create a total surveillance regime of the government controlling the population and you can reverse the order and use a i for that citizens to survey the government and make sure there is no corruption it can go both ways all the same always myself at present most of these big data are algorithms they hack mean in the service of some corporation or government they

get to know my weaknesses solve that they can capture my attention and sell me products or so me politicians or make me waste hours. watching funny cat to be doing online just so there is more traffic on the web page but you can take the same technology and then reverse the order and build an ai protect or an ai sidekick that knows my own weaknesses and defends me against these manipulations i mean the key effect is to realize that most of the decisions i make this is not fully will this is my biochemical system which is hackable. and once you realize it you realize that just as people can hack my computer so i have an antivirus protecting my computer people can hack my brain also in they are doing it it's much more valuable to my computer if i have an antivirus program for
