6:00 pm
to change our relationship with there's no innate substance i am running out i am a man can't you come on let me pick up more on plastic waste of fries on al-jazeera how do you. this is al jazeera. and live from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha santamaria welcome to the news that negotiations are at an end this is the moment of decision so says the u.k. attorney general with just hours until a parliamentary vote on gregg's it but it looks like the new agreements to resume a got from the e.u. won't be enough to sway even members of their own party even brags that hanging in the balance once again also on the grid algeria's celebration reverts to anger
6:01 pm
while president bush to figure out what you're running for a fifth term looks like those who will be in charge in the interim might just be more of the same people return to the streets it is clear they won't stand for that and more boeing planes are grounded from a man to australia as concerns grow over the safety of the seven three seven max of the manufacturer is holding firm saying it has no reason to pull its most popular planes service the world wide web is thirty but during that time it's gone from being a platform for openness to one where privacy is one of several major concerns i mean or should help connect with us on twitter using the hash tag. with the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live in it al-jazeera dot com it has been a rollercoaster twenty four hours with british prime minister theresa may with around four hours left now until the crunch votes in parliament as the day started out it looked like
6:02 pm
a briggs demo might pay off this year not legally binding changes from the e.u. to a deal but then just a few hours ago britain's top lawyer gave some advice that would have the prime minister worried attorney general geoffrey cox said despite the changes the legal risk of the u.k. remaining a locked in the custom union remained the same that would stop the u.k. being free to strike its own trade deals after bragg's it and on top of that the more right wing members of teresa mayes own conservative party said the changes weren't enough to sway them leaving you would think little chance of the vote passing later on tuesday so let's hear from some of the major players we're going to start with the attorney general geoffrey cox speaking to parliament this was his advice on the changes to the deal. the legal risk as i said regarding in my letter of the thirteenth of november remains. changed the question for her is whether in the likes of these improvements as very political judgment
6:03 pm
house should not enter in to those arrangements we've got the irish prime minister as well leah wiranto who welcomed the latest clarification between theresa may and the e.u. and said it's time to move on in many ways that has been a dark cloud over us for many months and in particular threatened no deal a positive vote tonight can remove that cloud and restore confidence and optimism in britain arland and across the european union we now need to see the withdrawal agreement ratified by westminster and the european parliament without further delay so that we can get on with the important work of building a new relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. and between the u.k. and ireland post-crisis and standing defiant the e.u. commission president younger and younger is warning there will be no third chances and brags that. initially took me a good nick last night we reached an agreement with the british government on the
6:04 pm
conditions and consequences of breakfast and what i said last night was it was a second chance but there won't be a third one so i truly hope the members of the british parliament today back the approach which is simultaneously of british and european ones just before we speak to our correspondent a reminder of everything that's going on this week in terms of bragg's it so nine hundred g.m.t. today tuesday that's the vote on teresa mayes reworked withdrawal deal if it is still voted down looks like that might happen then there will be another vote on whether in city asking whether the u.k. should abandon negotiations and leave the e.u. without a deal so-called heartbreaks it and then if that's voted down they'll be a third vote on whether to extend the negotiating period remember this article fifty as it's known that expires also magically on march twenty nine when the u.k. is departure is supposed to happen ok let's talk to lawrence lee about this he's live outside the houses of parliament in london for us. lawrence deja vu all over again isn't it you just hear another juncture another so-called meaningful vote
6:05 pm
which looks like it will go the same way. well yeah and i think it looks like this is the very last chance that the vote she said it is seven o'clock is three o'clock now so she got four hours whether debasing all this or that to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse but frankly she's she's she's toast that the deal is going to go down probably by from the look of it the best pasta two hundred votes and that's only just less than the two hundred thirty which is a british record should she should she lost by last time i do think it's worth just just reminding ourselves just for a second the reason why this is that this car crash unfolding before us and it frankly all goes back to that to the complete naivety of the referendum question which was do you want to leave your opinion or to stay and it's a straight choice between two things one clearly and we now know that there are at least half a dozen ways of leaving the european union and the question was framed it entirely
6:06 pm
the wrong way and so all these different opinions you see across parliament now mean that they guess that the reason they took her in separation what leave means is just to disliked by. too many people across politics and so the question isn't so much what should be she going to lose because she's going to lose it's really what happens then still when men and from britain in a changing europe. what should lose by direction but i guess two hundred i think it's going to be over one hundred i'm not sure it will get to two hundred i suspect quite a few on our own benches who voted against the last i'm going to vote with her this time not least because they're anxious to avoid the impression of an absolute thrashing for the drug minister once again but she can then she i mean conceivably she can then say ok fine of this and say yes i'm going to go back to the european union and ask for some more concessions it's that that they just made that so clear in strasbourg overnight that that that there isn't any more concessions that the isn't it well there are two things of the european union make clear firstly this is
6:07 pm
it we are not negotiating again was a phrase they used but the second thing that was equally interesting was to say if you want an extension that extension isn't so. the end of may that these there's not much time to do anything else for we're going to ask for an extension i think that's a given now but actually with us time to do anything apart from try and bring this deal back for a third time and i hope that m.p.'s react to the time pressure or maybe even if she feels desperate go to the people call the general election and try to ring you have authority but that didn't end well last time she tried it no no it didn't but on that point if if if there is an extension it's the european union that tells the u.k. how long we can have that extension for and clearly there are some hardliners in there who would find that the most demeaning thing imaginable if if you get in the next week or two twenty or thirty real hard bracks it is saying fun that's what we're all for resigning she going to have strong action isn't she because she isn't all government anymore john the majority of them i think that's true but i don't see at the moment that the problems of resignations will cover the hard side
6:08 pm
because those people know if they lose their influence by resorting force to get election the problem they face is that bracks it will either become softer because whoever is the next prime minister will have no alternative but to try and go all of the votes on the labor side doesn't or it doesn't happen at all there were emerge a majority for a referendum so i think the european research group has to play this carefully because as michael gove's said this morning the danger is by blocking this deal as you might lose breaks it all together that's a balancing act they have to be careful not the most bizarre thing i mean she's reliant on if she wants to get the vote through that sort of block of eighty or so real hardliners who would be quite happy with a no deal and there was that is that there's no legal assurance we we can vote for ace in the ends that they're almost pushing themselves into a situation where the u.k. might not leave the european union it's all going to christmas isn't it but i think their calculation is we're only going to get a short extension and by the time we get into may we're going to face a choice which is our the vote for this deal because it's not going to be reopened
6:09 pm
or what some of the we had before we go to the european union with no deal so it may still be remarkable though it sounds. that we had to do with a meaningful vote every. deal subversion of it still goes through because it because they. wanted us a prediction that it meant like you very much people. people keep asking me what's going to happen but if you go absolutely no idea. but well look you certainly give the impression that you do lawrence thank you very much for that lawrence they are going to be talking to him more as the day goes on there in london do send us your comments and questions hash tag a.j. news grid heard from elizabeth already actually said so is it likely to resume i would ask for an extension or are we sticking with the deadline no matter what well should heard from i guess that he was saying the idea of an extension europe is saying well to the end of may at the latest that would be what a couple of months maybe a couple of months to sort out something which they have had two years to sort out facebook dot com such as they were that was where that comment came from and this number plus one seven four five zero one triple one four and on whatsapp and
6:10 pm
telegram to keep in touch with us let's move on the anger is return to the streets of algeria the celebrations was short lived after their president abandoned his bid for a fifth term on monday night but otherwise these beautifully go also called off next month's election which effectively means he remains in power that many young algerians are frustrated they are angry they want immediate political change more than a quarter of those under thirty are unemployed which is why so many of them want that change their ailing wheelchair bound eighty two year old leader has remained president for twenty years now rarely seen in public after a stroke in twenty thirteen mohammad reza latest. when algerian president. abandoned his bid for a fifth term in office there were celebrations but they were short lived. on monday evening the demonstrators were euphoric then the reality set and.
6:11 pm
outlined a series of steps which he hopes would shape algeria's future he announced that next month's elections would be delayed but politically it would remain in power until further notice. on tuesday protesters were still out on the streets. the. former prime minister ali been fully says the government needs to listen to the people while support will hurt me so what difference to our way to our throttling the president's attempt to run for a fifth term is an achievement made by the algerian people not a favorable grant by anybody the people lived up to the aspirations lived up to their responsibility especially that the constitution was violated where a president's term runs for five years only the current term has been extended without the people's approval or endorsement and the constitution would have the postponed the elections without consulting parliament as it is mandated by the constitution this video broadcast by algerian state television appears to show up
6:12 pm
with after his return to the country. among the other announcements made by beautifully that a national conference would be held by the end of the year in order to schedule an election and draft a new constitution according to the reuters news agency algerian diplomat law but brahimi will lead the national conference which is also expected to include representatives of demonstrators as well as war veterans beautifully to has reshuffled the government appointed his interior minister noted dean by the way as prime minister and his advisor rahm tom mamma as his deputy the army chief general ahmed gates retained his post but it's unlikely with a few close decisions will contain the anger of the anti-government movement some opposition figures were either banned by the constitutional council from running against the president or pulled out describing the april election as a farce the protesters insist they will continue their rallies and till their demands are met they want a new president now along with democratic reforms and
6:13 pm
a government capable of tackling the rising unemployment poverty and corruption homage and doom just. i mean that is with us now an activist with the citizen movement a political citizen movement for a democratic algerian she's in paris for us do you well compare how you might have felt last night when the news first came in to now and the sort of reality that maybe not so much has changed. i think it would be naive to think that a system that is as vicious and tenacious as the juryman one would yield so easily to the citizen protests their strategy has shifted from pushing for a fifth term and met with the backlash of the popular uprising they decided to maybe promise reforms which is something they've always done for the past twenty
6:14 pm
years push for reforms that would be led by. for one year and then he would withdraw from the political scene and let a transmission a generational transmission happen that was the plan b. and that was also met with backlash why because the people the citizen they want the regime out they are fed up it's not just about the elections the elections the fifth term is actually just a symptom of a very deep. disease that we have been dealing with for five decades which is the unique party at the head of our country with corruption client elysium and yes today all these and now instruments are only a ruse there are a trick the last. of poker the system has to play in order to try to
6:15 pm
maintain itself this is plan c. and the plan c. is to tell the people i've heard do i'll give you what you want just let me lead the transition but just look at who was nominated for prime minister and minister and deputy party prime minister the sons the products of the system the former. minister of interior of former minister of foreign affairs. how could a real transition a real democratic can you old europe public come forth if we keep the same ingredients and let the regime actually the game and the rules i mean the question for one of our viewers on facebook live who's asking is and i ask you this do you think beautifully here is actually capable of making any of the decisions given the state he appears to be in eighty two years old and stuck in a wheelchair or is it just all these people around him sort of mass manipulation.
6:16 pm
of course it is a mass manipulation there is a sort of a gang that is the using the body of the president an order to have some facade of legitimacy and definitely this is this is what led people to the streets really it is the humiliation. twenty years later we are being told that our letter is addressed to us by a president a while no way that he was in geneva and a very very severe health. situation. the candidacy the fifth term the candidacy has been has been followed through even though the president was not present in algeria and this is entitled constitutional delaying the elections is anti-constitutional so we are operating
6:17 pm
outside of any. any constitutional framework and this is what is really really making people angry and thing we are we are actually quite proud that this anger has been translated into a pacifist way and very organized demonstrations i mean i thought joining us from paris great talking to you thank you. so in light of the recent events in algeria it looks like the protests have died down under your pills with us now looking closely at the developments online will shortly after all juries president announced that he would not be seeking a third term in office there were people who one else who express their short lived joy on the street of algiers but the protesters as we just heard from our guests there say that their battle is far from over now the students organize protests across the country on tuesday as well with thousands marching in the capital
6:18 pm
chanting slogans like we want to republican not a monarchy others are can. to protest in constantine and other cities they don't want the government to delay april's elections they say they want change now and they refuse to wait another year and you can see their demands and some of the signs that they hold now this one i'll start were to go this one says that this isn't a football match no to the prolongation or extra time on beautifully because presidents see others as i showed a moment ago or simply just sticking post it notes on walls in central algiers with messages for the government to consider like this one here says no to the four plus that's referring to beautifully because fourth term in office plus whatever extra time he or his government may try to add to it now this is what one protesters hold out a zero about the mood on the street take a listen. oh yes you did visit with my son who was one of the troops and i think he would extend that actually both to everybody here and i guess that this is you know
6:19 pm
everybody here knows that it's going to do and it's going to be constitution so all the books just one stop starting from today and mainly next why do we want to stop the fighting on to use here in britain and i'm told that going to be going to be the system that's going to respect the people and respect the constitution to be able to use didn't you know. now another common sight that you'll see on algerian social media today is of workers and businesses that are on strike so the metro has been closed in the capital algiers because of these strikes which we're hearing will continue in the days ahead and people are sharing other photos online like these of closed shops and deserted streets and many continue to walk out of work to support these national protests meanwhile another mass demonstration is scheduled for this friday in algiers so we will certainly be on the lookout for that if you are there we'd love to get in touch with you as wealth get touch with us on twitter by using the hash tag it is good thank you andrew not in pictures gallery here at
6:20 pm
al-jazeera com just to remind you you know that depth of feeling that andrew talks about has spread well beyond algeria's borders on the hob and i was put together a gallery on the algerian diaspora who stood with the people back home you can have a look at that for yourself in pitches in the more menu i found as they were to come. turbulence increasing for the airplane manufacturer boeing its shares continue to slide and more countries are grounding its seven three seven max eight jets after sunday's crash in ethiopia and it comes to that in a moment first the investigation into the crash and us and other investigators are now at that crash site to look for clues study the area try to understand what might have caused the crash an automated and stole system is suspected of contributing to the ethiopian airlines crash which killed all one hundred fifty seven on board the jet's two flight recorders which have been recovered and also being examined and the u.s. f.a.a. the federal aviation administration says it expects boeing to soon complete some
6:21 pm
improvements boeing though interestingly says it has no reason to pull the popular accounts from the skies this aircraft boeing seven three seven actually as a plane it has been around since one thousand nine hundred seven but this latest model the macs only hit the skies in twenty seventeen three hundred fifty planes have been delivered but by monday within twenty four hours of the crash ethiopia china and indonesia ordered the temporary grounding of all the country's seventy seven max aides on tuesday the u.k. oman malaysia singapore and australia old ban the next aids from flying in and out of their countries germany france and ireland have just announced they will be banning it from air space there is space for now and several airlines from norway south korea mexico brazil india germany all suspending its use to in all more than twenty airlines have taken this workhorse aircraft out of service which has its most popular routes across north america and china and don't forget putting still has fifty d. fifty thousand five thousand orders pending. now have a look at this
6:22 pm
a live shot from florida twenty four are not just filtered this to only show the seven three seven max outs now this was a lot busier early in the day now you starting to see them clearing the skies this is for example today which is a chancery across service they said they canceling flights a lot of the turkish airlines coming out of the sky now interestingly though when you go further afield and come to the united states there are still a lot in the air there they've got the most american airlines southwest airlines canada as well they have the most seven three seven and they don't appear to be taking any of those out of service just yet so that's the global view let's go back to the crash site now in ethiopia mohamad doe is there speaking to witnesses who saw the plane moments before the crash. he's a farming home unit. in a way that ill fated flight right now villagers who witnessed the plane all down have been telling us how they will. buy three and banging noises coming from
6:23 pm
a little flying aircraft and then they said that they watched as the pilot tried to lift off several times without fail and. it would bring the oldest down before it came crashing into the ground with a huge. and then they. mumble rick. and the possible effect all the possible just who are on board including. all kinds of help us. around about the size of up to five people killed let's check in with developments regarding boeing john hendren is in chicago for us john who is joining this course now of people and organizations who want the seven three seven out of the skies. welcome all there's
6:24 pm
a growing chorus of voices calling for that plane to be grounded started in china as you pointed out ethiopia indonesia and now it has moved ever westward and closer to boeing's headquarters right here in chicago most recently germany the united kingdom australia malaysia singapore and oman all have grounded that plane that happened on tuesday after a number of other countries began that on monday boeing insist that this plane is safe and as you point out the speculation centers on a navigational system that thought perhaps the plane was nose up and was about to stall and that software may have caused the plane to tilt down so boeing insists that the plane is safe as it is but it isn't hansing the software it says the u.s. federal aviation administration is going to be calling for that to be mandatory over the next couple of weeks and meanwhile
6:25 pm
a number of people here in the united states are now calling for that plane to be grounded as well they include senators dianne feinstein richard blumenthal mitt romney the former republican presidential candidate and now elizabeth warren all of them calling for that plane to be grounded while these investigations go on boeing insists that the software enhancements and the improvements to its manuals and training will make in their words a safe plane even safer so you know ok the reluctance from boeing to take the planes out of service altogether i guess because of them and this is very corporate are not about the knock on effect would be here it's not just for the company but for the united states as well. it's already huge they've been hit yesterday by more than a five percent dilution it stock value today another six percent is all of this bad news has come down the pike the company is this was its best selling plane
6:26 pm
and it was really hoping for this to improve its market share right now boeing has about forty three percent of the commercial aircraft market compared to airbus is forty five percent and they were really expecting this plane to help lift that market share so they could be the bigger of those two companies well now stock analysts on wall street are are downgrading expectations for boeing it is already going to be a significant hit for the company but whether it's a long term problem that remains to be seen and it remains to be seen whether they're able to fix whatever this problem is if it is systematic problem in short order there is a precedent to this in two thousand and thirteen boeing grounded the dreamliner plane after its batteries caught fire but it is very rare for u.s. aviation authorities to require that sort of thing and if they were to do it in this case it would be the second time in something like six years but other countries aren't waiting as you pointed out one after the other they're calling for
6:27 pm
the grounding of those planes which it is definitely going to be a hard hit on boeing john hendren in chicago thank you so we're busy talking about planes and companies but we really shouldn't forget the human side one hundred fifty seven people died in the ethiopian airlines crash and some of the stories have been compiled here at al-jazeera dot com using social media using personal accounts from people or reminder of the victims from an f. one hundred fifty seven people thirty five different nationalities who lost their lives you can read this stories by searching for ethiopia airlines crash who are the victims at al-jazeera dot com chris on facebook live has asked how does a major company like boeing suffer so much from such a minimal. stake i don't think you can call it a minor mistake chris when there's been this crash and a previous crash five months ago which is killed everyone on board this is a major major problem for boeing not surprisingly they're taking a hit and not surprisingly a lot of people want those planes out of the sky your questions and comments hash
6:28 pm
tag aging is great if you are with us on facebook live like chris welcome we've got a bonus story for you now about three women in el salvador who said he served ten years in prison for allegedly having abortions that is when i found that i did plus and then later it is the birthday of one of the greatest technological advances of the twenty first century the world wide web is now into its thirty's. hello again and welcome back well this i do want to start here across the levant we are watching one weather system make its way across parts of the west you can see the clouds right there now with this weather system we're going to be seeing more clouds across parts of iraq as well as a run here on wednesday mostly cloudy conditions across much of the area as well as windy conditions particularly up here across parts of the saudi and also the iraq border so that's going to cause a lot of dusty conditions there as we go towards thursday will that system start to
6:29 pm
drop down more down here towards the southeast we do expect to see even some rain across parts of kuwait well that same weather system will be a player in what's going to be happening here in doha by the time we get towards thursday night and into friday morning really not looking too bad here on wednesday winds are coming out of the south attempted there of about twenty six dropping to about twenty three but as i said by the time we get towards thursday evening it will become quite dusty across the region and here across the mozambique channel we are still watching our cycle and brings a very heavy rain not only to madagascar over the next few days that storm is expected to make a turn towards the southwest and we could be seeing another landfall by the time we get to either late thursday or friday morning across parts of mozambique and that is going to bring some very heavy rain and flooding across much of the area. rewind continues
6:30 pm
a care brainier people back to life i'm sorry with updates on the best about just serious documentaries this trouble continues book from body till now for use distills revisiting. anatomy of an american city i have close friends who were lost to the streets i can literally see the future of baltimore to the ass of my students and it does not look rewind on al-jazeera the ultranationalist marks connected with one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis we doe as illegally maigret joining with the military to impose a deadly political agenda they have to foot our nation what has happened to the revenge that's one of the biggest stains on the country as a whole. but they're not religion this is a politic me and an unholy alliance on al-jazeera.
6:31 pm
head on and i'll be here without comment what's trending as well a what a moving story there at the top i prayed for the souls of the villagers who watched that plane crash in ethiopia only a few minutes after it took off and then the sort of cold hard facts about the
6:32 pm
business side of things with demands that boeing modify its planes and a lot of others actually saying they want them out of the skies entirely have a look at the top stories what's trending at al-jazeera dot com this tuesday. but as well as government says it is good riddance to have u.s. diplomats leaving the country making up some of those governments as washington's decision to pull its last diplomats out follows a breakdown in negotiations secretary. said the deteriorating situation constrains u.s. policy options maduro had already cut ties with washington over its recognition of the opposition. as venezuela's interim leader. the opposition dominated national assembly in venezuela described the widespread power outages as well as a national emergency so let's talk to theresa bo now covering events for us then get in caracas tell us about this. of all the closure of the u.s. embassy in the diplomats leaving. well the united
6:33 pm
states that it shut it down a year that they're asking and removing all personnel here because as you just said in my statement is that constrained to us and the country this was. followed after by a statement by president. that he was giving feminity two hours for the united states government to take and we move on in the country and we're told we've been talking to some of the bathurst from the european union countries in the region who say that they're not comfortable with the united states situation they saying that this means that many of them would have to follow. and that they would generate and this would mean leaving the opposition here in the country alone let's not forget what's been happening here in the country in the past few days a power outage that has left most of venezuela in the dark people struggling for food but mostly for water people are taking to the street trying to find water
6:34 pm
wherever they can we know that there's been some. parts of the country so there's tension these days here in venezuela right now and that's why it. has that today that people take to the streets once again we're expecting that to happen in a few hours. as you mentioned. venezuela nicolas maduro at least has blamed them on the united states some sort of conspiracy or cyber attack or the like not surprising there's any actual proof for that yes. so far the government has not shown any. we have seen the call of mother would appear on television saying that this was an electromagnetic attack on the electric grid he's also asking the population to be alert he's asking the militias for example for government groups that are armed to be also on the alert and watching out for what happens in the country also following the protests very very closely but the
6:35 pm
opposition is basically saying that what's been happening here is a result of corruption is the result of mismanagement is a result that many of the professionals in charge of venezuela's electric system have left the country we have been speaking to some analysts on the electrical sector and what they were telling us is that already back in two thousand and ten the government had already declared a state of emergency on the electric grid and that's why they decided to buy many new equipment in order to replace it they say that much of that equipment was not replaced and that it was filled with failures however and i think this is very important to note is that we have in the united states a government that has decimated a man like abraham as you us saying boy to venezuela man that's been severely question for human rights abuses in latin america for a very having a very harsh policy in latin america and my computer statement where he says that the presence of u.s. personnel a second strains to u.s. policy in the country racist certainly many questions about what the united states
6:36 pm
is standing next to or is about with your code are concerned you. it is happy birthday to the world why did webb which turns thirty's is a for many probably all of us actually hard to imagine a world without the internet an invention which has revolutionized the way we communicate each other which is why it's so interesting to look back at the very first web page that's it that's what was released thirty years ago the world wide web w three is a wide area hyper media information retrieval initiative i love the wording on it and what's out there well not a whole lot but they're saying there is no top to the world wide web you can look at it from many points of view thirty years ago that's all there was think about just think about what we've got now and the fact that it's all on a tablet or a phone that does anyone have a look at this from rich allen he's been taking a walk down digital memory lane. hold on i'll be with you in a sec i'm just sending something to a friend it's it's a it's
6:37 pm
a kept me i just say there friend but i haven't seen them in i.r.l. that's in real life for eleven years but they are going to totally lol at this that's a laugh out loud. so yeah the internet is giving us new language and it's giving us new ways to socialize keep in touch with old friends and share things with new ones but what else has changed well when tim berners lee wrote the code for the world wide web on this computer thirty years ago he kickstarted arguably the greatest technological revolution of our time the ultimate disruptor of the information age for instance once universal very few of us buy these anymore newspapers we get our information online and remember these what's the point of them in an era of streaming and downloads the internet has brought many industries to their knees but others have boomed we have new giants amazon facebook alphabet alley barbershop
6:38 pm
more and more of us are shopping online smartphones have accelerated the change this african sim card still comes from a part of the world where many people never had a wired telephone they jump straight to smart phones and the internet bringing information and developments these days elections are force and one online and with the universalize ation of information has also come the spread of disinformation fake news some governments are so threatened by the freedom of the internet that they're trying to wall their countries off from the world wide web not all individuals are keen either just because we can stay in contact with everyone all the time is that really what's good for us the internet can be quite a nasty place of bullying and sexism and racism digital detox or logging off is an increasingly common response to this we are still trying to make sense of the internet and all the opportunities and the threats that it's brought us right back
6:39 pm
to my cat means. and one of the men behind you in the screen that's him ben as they would have ever thought about cat be. it's so incredible to think how far it's come in thirty years isn't what's tim been saying well he's done something great today and that's remind us that some of the most interesting amazing ideas out there start off as they could but exciting well that's how tim berners lee is boss replied to his proposal for this information management system that would eventually become the internet and now half of the world is connected to it nearly every facet of our lives is informed facilitated or incredibly frustrated by it take a listen thirty years ago i submitted a vague but exciting proposal for a free open. space for all of humanity to share knowledge and ideas. today hof the world's population is

still unconnected and those of us who are online feel that our rights and freedoms on not fully protected and respected now tim berners lee says that there are three major sources of dysfunction on the internet today which must be tackled in order to stop its downward plunge to a dysfunctional future not the first that he mentions is the deliberate and malicious intent that we see state sponsored hacking in attacks criminal behavior as well as things like online harassment the second is system design that creates perverse incentives where user value is sacrificed what's that mean while there he's talking about ad based revenue models that commercially reward things like click bait as well as the viral spread of mis information for example now a third issue he brings up has to do with the unintended negative consequences of benevolent design that means the outraged and polarized tone and quality of our
6:41 pm
online discourse now he's also worried that the internet is at risk of being broken up into different regulatory blocks so there's different regulations based on where you are especially in the u.s. e.u. china and elsewhere foreign policy magazine says that we're kind of living with a war torn web with two digital superpowers that's the u.s. and china doing everything they can to reshape the internet in their own image then you have others who are basically pushing the internet trying to move it in the direction that they want perhaps hoping to one day be an internet superpower like the u.s. and china and then you have a bunch of other countries that are using his invention the internet to strengthen domestic control through censorship and surveillance now acknowledging that the web has transformed our world for better and also for worse tim berners lee in the world wide web foundation are fighting for its very existence with the global campaign to bring governments companies and citizens like you. and me together to

build a new contract clear norms laws and standards that would underpin every single thing that we do online so let us know what you think about these warnings and the state of the world wide web now thirty years old you can connect with us on the internet using the hash tag it is great if you use the internet. let's talk to larry magid actually c.e.o. of connect safely dot org an internet safety privacy and security organization on skype from palo alto california larry can you remember the very first time you used the internet. well the matter fact i wrote this book one thousand nine hundred four and. i criticised by self because there was nothing here about the russians interfering with election for. security in the one nine hundred ninety four ten years later i wrote this book and i did have a little bit about about security in there but probably not as much so yes i do remember when i first use the internet it within one thousand nine hundred seventy nine i was at a university and back then you pretty much had to be at
6:43 pm
a university or government agency or a scientific organization to use the internet the today's internet very different from the internet back then so you're talking about the internet as in one nine hundred seventy nine can you explain to a viewer how that difference from the world wide web thirty years ago. first of all with a very text base and it with a very technical you had to know at least something about the unix programming language to even use it if i had time i could show you some pages from my book where i have illustrations but bottom line it with very complicated and it with technical purely technical and again it with restricted it wasn't until the ninety's that the web became commercialized when the dot com domains became available and that's when the explosion began and starting in the early ninety's and then of course up until today but in the old days it was very isolated so when berners lee wrote this paper the internet wasn't anything like it is today it was basically a bastion for people like himself scientific engineers military personnel academics
6:44 pm
not folks like you and me we are now getting to a point larry where we are and i use this word quite clearly we are dependent on the internet we wake up we use to check messages we use it throughout banking we use it to buy things we use it to talk to people on skype likely right now i wonder if there's such a thing as too much dependence if the technology fails we are in trouble. i use it to open my front door and start my car so it goes even further than that in fact i don't know if i have a new connected car i'm not sure how well would even work without the internet you know i think you're right i think that the dependency is a little bit scary because technology can fail and of course there can be bad actor does it it's now possible to hack almost any aspect of your life your car your house your camera your door knob your you know your doorbell whatever it is are all connected or are growing increasingly connected and i think that that's a danger i also think the benefits are tremendous i mean i think your last presentation in addition to the cat means there are
6:45 pm
a lot of good things that have come about this conversation couldn't be happening you know if it weren't for the internet and skype i would be in a studio and you'd be spending hundreds of dollars for a satellite connection etc the fact that i can broadcast globally from my spare room in my house is itself a miracle do you think you would have heard andrew talking about the concerns that temper and his lay has about the internet and twenty nine zero the world wide web and twenty nine to share those oh absolutely i think i really applaud him and the consortium he works with for bringing these issues to the front and i congratulate him for having invented something that realize that his invention needs what he called a mid-course correction so absolutely and i also agree that it's government needs to be brought on board industry needs to be brought on board but also individuals and in fact mike my nonprofit connect safely dot org is all about encouraging individuals to do their best we can't control things sometimes we're kind of like a passenger on the bus but there are things we can do to protect our privacy or

security in our safety and every one of us needs to do what we can while encouraging government and industry to do what they can marry my good talking to us on the internet on skype from a pleasure thank you could've done the thirty years ago so much thank you. can of even imagine to could you let's have a look at some other stories from around the world now and jerusalem actually has been a fire inside the mosque compound the teams tell us israeli police have closed all entrances to the compound harry force that is watching it from occupied east jerusalem. it was really felice say that this all started with a molotov cocktail being thrown at a security forces post inside the luxor mosque compound known to jews as the temple mount that it caught fire that one policeman was mildly injured by smoke inhalation after that they tried to find those responsible there were scuffles within the compound itself several arrests took place
6:47 pm
a spokesperson for the islamic walk the trust that runs the actual mosque compound under the aegis of the jordanian government protests against that saying that senior clerics were beaten during the course of those scuffles the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has released a statement calling this a dangerous escalation by israeli authorities to what has already been a tense situation in recent days as well as closing off the entire compound police of also barred access to gates entering the old city only those it seems with id papers proving their residency within jerusalem's old city are being allowed in we witnessed here at lion's gate a group of people trying to get in with a body a group of mourners and there were some scuffles and some chance against the police during the course of that eventually they were allowed in at least into the courtyard outside the luxor mosque compound not into the compound itself all of this comes after what's been an extremely tense few weeks three weeks ago was when
6:48 pm
the works decided to reopen an area around what's known as the mercy gate which had been closed since two thousand and three by the israeli authorities they said that was that closure was because a group linked to hamas had been using the area the walks now argues that that group has long been disbanded and that it is under their all thora t. should be under their authority to reopen this area a court deadline expired on monday for it to be closed off the work does not recognize the jurisdiction of the israeli courts over the compound there have been talks to. going on between the israeli authorities and the jordanians so far without any resolution there is the prospect that people are being worried about of some kind of escalation along the lines of what we saw in twenty seventeen when the israelis imposed metal detectors at the gates of the mosque compound after a deadly attack on israeli security forces so far no resolution and it remains a tense situation with the mosque compound entirely closed off just

6:50 pm
6:51 pm
if you take sport you know we're talking about the world wide web before it is the internet which makes these stories so much big announcement oh yes definitely definitely because n.b.a. star russell westbrook is one of the most talked about basketball stars on social media usually it's his impressive point scoring that gets his name tremayne but that wasn't the case last night he was caught on camera threatening a fan and this was during
6:52 pm
a game in salt lake city utah. oklahoma city thunder player had a heated exchange with a utah jazz fan outs all clear from the video what's westbroek off but after the game he said he was provoked by a racially charged comments something the fan denies. i'll start this. is my understand is told. to get on my knees like you guys to meet us is complete disrespect. to be. things racial i think this is inappropriate since. there's no protection for the players. here not a great fans once come to join the people that come to. see me to spend money on family. ross is just a moment and carrying on acting a fool down here and everybody's getting on and they have yeah i guess he thought
6:53 pm
it was ice i just told him i like to sit out and i sneeze bro and he turned to me and he was like it's me that's me and i'm like well you're going to need it and then it turned into. not safe for work i don't care you could throw at me all he wants i was the one talking to him but don't throw in the woman she's five feet tall one hundred ten pounds around. now the story nearly blew up the internet with russell westbrook ross and the founder all trending on twitter now westbrook has a lot of support out there his teammate patrick patterson who was sitting beside westbrook when the exchange happened tweeted this tele player get down on your knees like you're used to you as men what do you expect us to do shut up and dribble no one is held accountable for their actions except for us fans are protected in every way possible but not us sports journalist jason smith has a different take on it saying even if something over the line was said you have to
6:54 pm
be the bigger person and let that go if you do something creative and public for a living you have to be ok with people telling you you suck however it they voice it all to talk more about this is sports lawyer is a viewer pope good to have you back with us what's your reaction to this what do you think provoked the west for you. wall apparently this gentleman shane keisel has a thing against rent was a rest book he stayed on his twitter page that he he wanted to have west russell westbrook beaten up he also mentioned some racial things on his twitter feed and so it doesn't seem is this individual has is coming with clean hands to the incident fans are are the supposed to be respectful of games then there are entitled to booing the cheer who they like and who they don't like but stating things that are racial and also come up with the impetus that you would beat someone up at a game should be allowed in the n.b.a. arena will there be any fallout do you think should there be punishment for
6:55 pm
westbroek or the fan or both perhaps well i think wes arrest were threatening a female fan is troublesome and also threatening any fan should be troublesome he's held to a certain standard of conduct but a fan cannot come to a game and feel they can say whatever they may want to a player is disgusting and i heard jason mention that they have to be ok to matter what happens but i don't necessarily agree with that i think that fans should be held to a certain standard of conduct this isn't the back in the day when when when you have to they henry aarons of the world and who were being taunted by fans of being racially things spewed at them this is two thousand and nineteen and they should not expect to come to a game and be talked it would racial slurs you could do them all you want but if you say something racist in the stands and if you have if your twitter account your activity is showing that you have some sort of physical animus potentially toward
6:56 pm
players you should never be allowed in an n.b.a. arena ever again i had our own talk about another heated incident last time this time in cleveland a fight between trying to raptors serge ibaka and the cavaliers mark east chris how badly does a brawl like that a fact the image of the n.b.a. . i don't think it necessarily affect affects the n.b.a.'s image at all n.h.l. itself as had over two hundred fifty fights during the season and will be bench clearing brawls are celebrated in clips are shown and who feed each other first for their sports like the n.f.l. and n.b.a. the predominately african-american the every now and then players decide to actually get into wouldn't fight now what's a big deal i think is an unfair standard placed on these athletes and how they're viewed and i think this some sort of vision about fans feel a certain conduct is ok in a certain sport and it isn't in another double standard all right well leave it there for now and save your pope always great to get your thoughts thank you so
