8:10 pm
are told and at the moment in gaza i would describe the atmosphere as relatively calm but extremely tense life seems to have gone back to normal but everybody we've spoken with here since i've come in today is very much on edge worried that things could really escalate out of control at any moment worried that there could be israeli airstrikes as a response to something at any moment and also concern because on saturday you have the first year anniversary of the great march of return the committees that are in charge of putting that together are urging many people to come out on saturday to continue to demonstrate they are also also urging the israelis to demonstrate restraint and to not shoot at protesters who will be out there at the same time against the backdrop of all of this in the tensions of the past week you have the fact that there is this egyptian delegation that is still in gaza we are told that at the moment they are continuing to meet with members of the popular resistance

8:12 pm
a number of asteroids have hit the northern city of aleppo. the syrian arab news agency says it was an israeli attack and syria's defenses intercepted several missiles videos have been shared on social media showing explosions in aleppo al-jazeera has not yet been able to verify the claims new zealand has welcomed facebook's decision to ban any support praise or representation of white nationalism on its services and social media giant has come under increased scrutiny since a gunman used facebook to lifestream his attack on two mosques in christchurch and richelle has this report. since the christ church mosque shootings two weeks ago new zealand's government has been calling on social media platforms to take responsibility for any hate speech posted on their platforms well now facebook has announced it will make changes to its services next week and on instagram now the
8:13 pm
company says it's always blocks hateful comments about people based on their race ethnicity or religion but it also banned any praise support or representation of white nationalism and white separatism in a statement the company says we didn't originally apply the same rationale to expressions of white nationalism and white separatism because we were thinking about broader concepts of nationalism and separatism things like american pride and separatism which are an important part of people's identity but over the past three months our conversations with members of civil society and academics who are experts in race relations around the world have confirmed that white nationalism and white separatism cannot be meaningfully separated from white supremacy and organized hate groups well using content moderators machine learning and artificial intelligence to find and remove hate speech the company says it will also start directing people to resources that counter white supremacist ideology based on their searches now new zealand's prime minister just into art and has welcomed the
8:14 pm
decision but says she wants greater action internationally and the international community to press forward with a conversation about whether or not enough has been done so that no one will have to learn those lessons again for states to extend it haitian hate speech to prevent the promotion of white nationalism and white which is. arguably the category she always wanted within the guidelines stage but usually it's positive the clarification has now been made in the way they take here so this brings up a lot of questions what about the other platforms facebook owns whatsapp well it's a i dip into our messages what about you tube and twitter anti-semitism and. islamophobia now the organization we counter hate says anti muslim speech spiked after the shootings on twitter read sweets of anti muslim hate speech jumped ninety one percent in the three days after the shootings while likes increased by more than one hundred twenty five percent some people seem to think that activity is
8:15 pm
private it's not and as bad as those statistics look look at this and muslim hate speech increased eight hundred percent on twitter in the three days following the shootings now we counter hate has built a hate speech fighting machine that works to counter white supremacy on twitter it's artificial intelligence identifies hateful comments like this one replies to them and then millions of other hateful tweets each and every year and then the organization uses them to raise money for charity scientists and health care professionals have written a letter to the united nations calling for an international ban on so-called killer robots although they don't get exists campaign is say that only a year or two away twenty eight countries have signed up so far the u.s. and russia are among those resisting science and technology editor mariana holland as more mention killer robots and many of us. of this
8:16 pm
a machine able to think feel and kill we have no way of knowing whether the kind of artificial general intelligence needed to create a scene tiant robot like this will ever be possible but here's what we already have sameeh autonomous machines dryers tanks aircraft robots big and small machines that can be weaponized even programmed to find targets but the final decision of whether to take a life lies with us so-called killer robots fully autonomous weapons that can select and kill without human intervention well they don't exist. here we don't want to see killing outsourced to machines on the battlefield or in policing or in border control and of a circumstances this is why we call for a preemptive ban on the development production and use of killer robots as soon as possible we already have facial recognition technology to unlock hellfire and they
8:17 pm
could be used by a fully autonomous weapon and trying say to identify and then attack a target without a human heavy lift final say but what if it kills the wrong person or the machine malfunctions and continues to hunt and kill long after a conflict has been resolved whose responsibility is it when a fully autonomous weapon gets it wrong so everybody's got their experience with computers not working with foreigners and i pads failing. and that's an inconvenience at best imagine that when you have the weapon system which is failing which is spending to turn off killer robots could be hacked and then used by your enemy forces against you and against your population and that they could be programmed to target a certain popular part of the population to go out there and to seek all military age males you know and determine them to be legitimate targets and fire upon them. sixty one percent his people polled in twenty six countries last year oppose fully
8:18 pm
autonomous weapons twenty eight countries have signed up to a ban take companies scientists researchers and engineers and their thousands have over the years pledged not to knowingly creates killer robots but plenty a lot of those are embracing artificial intelligence and will fia and states like israel russia south korea and the united states are among those resisting the ban countries may agree we're all better off without keller robots but no one wants to be left behind on the battlefield. so this is these all the top stories at least one person has died as crews in bangladesh far in dhaka the navy an air force a helping find working to put out the place that in one thousand stories building ten to challenge has more now from dhaka so far what we know is one person

8:22 pm
hello welcome to the program has them seek of the rule of algerian president abdelaziz bouteflika is in trouble the head of the army after made the gates says he wants a beautifully declared unfit for office the been more than a month of protests across the country people angry the president has held on to power for twenty years and many don't just want beautifully gone but a change in the ruling establishment they say is corrupt and they're demanding free and fair elections laura birdman late sets up our discussion with this report. it's was a dramatic development after weeks of protests in algeria the head of the army has called for the triggering of a constitutional process or article one or two paving the way for president abdelaziz bouteflika to be declared unfit to rule but that's adelia we need to find a solution to sort out this crisis and to respond to the demands of algerians
8:23 pm
within the constitution and within the sovereignty of the country in order to achieve that consensus and to achieve something that is accepted by all parties. the triggering of article one hundred two means the constitutional council can declare the position vacant if the president is too sick to exercise his functions if two thirds of parliament agree the chairman of the upper house will become acting president if we follow the constitutions than more or less the same people who are running the country at the moment we've been in it for the foreseeable future and forty five days to ninety days depending on the situation. beautifully has been in power for twenty years but he's rarely been seen in public since suffering from a stroke in two thousand and thirteen he's been credited with ending a decade long civil war in two thousand and two which killed tens of thousands.
8:24 pm
but in recent weeks hundreds of thousands of people have poured out into the streets calling for the to flicker to step down. many are angry with beautifully because decision to run for a fifth time they also accused the ruling elite of corruption but many are skeptical the process to remove the president will make any difference was in the dumont we have reached an unfortunate situations the one of today we have no professional demands we want a system to permanently deal we want a new government i many protesters fear the military and business leaders in power now will remain in place if the eighty two year old leader i touch where there is fierce opposition in the streets the same people have offered fuel turn attempts to put a clique a school for inside story door a thousand manly. let's
8:25 pm
bring in our guest now in london we have algerian journalist and writer general idea in talib an oxford michael well as a professor at the university of oxford and author of the forthcoming book algeria politics and society during the buddha flicker presidency and in rabat morocco we have a new file aboud he is the executive director of the north center for conflict transformation where he researches democracy and peace building in the matlab region welcome all of you gentlemen. jim aladin taleb if i could start with you what do you make of this latest development and then this announcement from the military chief of staff algerians if you a few enlarges mainly in the social media when they say it's they say clearly it's too little too late it's too little that's not what they want they want real regime change because this they think all the chief of the army what he's calling to
8:26 pm
trigger the constitutional process to oust but it's like a coup a musket coup in a way himly was a lawyer for many years to put he did not even respond to for many years and were calling to trigger the constitution this article had to go into before that article eighty eight before all for a bit challenged the constitution and too late because algerians they don't want all of which vehicle to go they want a real change regime change who'll be get'em to change not only beautifully. michael as how significant is this development for u.n. will it be enough to satisfy the protesters on the streets. i don't think it is quite a significant as some people are saying i agree very much with your last speaker i
8:27 pm
think there are probably two things going on here firstly it's an attempt by the regime the political leadership to make some sort of be seen to be making some sort of concession to the protesters in the street in the hope that they will go back home on the protests will be ended or reduced i think also it's an attempt to buy time the regime if this provision in the constitution to remove leak of a sitting president because he's not physically able to take. take take continue his duties that will be lead to a process of several months of transition which will be managed and run and overseen by people who are part of the existing in a circle of regime which means very little is likely to change so i think basically the move was really one of continuation i think the only possible significance there might be is that it may indicate some splits within the ruling group control
8:28 pm
algeria but there may be some difference between the president and his family who are involved in the regime but if these brothers and possibly the army and the others on some side but we really don't know from our brood who actually runs algeria because of it's not beautifully himself as many suspect. and that this this ailing eighty two year old. leader who is in poor health there is a front for others who are these others exactly. so our jury have been run in by what i call the deep state which is a number of people who functions within the hidden networks of power around the president and so forth and what is interesting in this. movement and demonstration of crisis in and in algeria it actually brings out the deep states and the counter stations the people of algeria have been expressed in along this movement but it's interesting now it's and how fascinating for example how this movement by people in
8:29 pm
algeria mostly led by young women and men has shifted and changed the tone of the deep states. like if we read from the statement of the chief of staff of the military now the military suggests it does not order they suggested that article one o two it's also fascinating how this movement has shifted also the discourse not only around national security but some kind of democratic process which is very interesting you know what is happening today is clearly states the division between the deep states who are the hidden network of power in algeria and the new generation of algerian people who are actually in the street. generally what about did divisions within the government exert itself i mean where does the military leadership stand in relation to some of these others other leaders behind
8:30 pm
beautifully civilian leaders business leaders and so on his brother is there is there a kind of jockeying for power going on there behind the scenes. well actually according to a french magazine jenna flick says that the move of the chief of the army was all in consultation with the beautifully cuz family bailey his brother say butler conason beautiful people they claim actually. who is running around in his truck surely the acting president of algeria for many years since two thousand and thirteen. the stroke of a car and then also with the. rush of food for your car it's like who's running or jury or sexually the deep state is it to correct maybe or call it from robert is maybe it's more like or it's referred to the d.m.'s to the secret service is mainly to. feel queer on who or who was in
8:31 pm
charge of the secret service is for a quarter of century. the who's running algeria is the cabal of generals. and with that would put his family himself and then the images of also of corrupt businessmen were playing who are part of the question now in algeria. the chief of the army he's moved is actually interpreting. the army is trying to to have the upper hand and there is a saying in algeria the famous historian and militant one hundred have been saying that all states they have armies algeria is the exception the army the state the army is in since the independence of algeria is held the real power we do
8:32 pm
voir as they call it in a jury and now good solid he was loyal to put there is a personal. dimension also in this development. for many years he was the. number two in the army and then the head of the army at the time in two thousand and four general mohammed omar mahdi wanted to almost him actually would feel perceive the because at the end but few according to the constitution is the chief supreme of the army of. the move of gates are is like he is trying to oust his boss in a way and bootlicker also has the position of the defense minister his the pretty is gates gates solid was invented as the pity of. the. defense minister in two thousand and thirteen during that time where bush will
8:33 pm
cause aiding in poor health and in was in french hospital julia foreman yes it has been. the property in the way of the army in a part and the mystic way sometimes they play on this. nationalist revolution five in a way but really the army is at the center of all what's happening in algeria they are held responsible actually for this situation for many years and cheery and they were calling even now in the new stations for many weeks they were calling they were saying army and people are our brothers they were calling the chief of army maly and the generals of the army to look to fire what they think it's merely then fault their eras. to disposition we don't have to forget that
