people and the caravans being going through so i think that the mexican president and his mother will be hoping that his foreign minister can make that case and that he will be listened to by the u.s. officials basically he's dealing with president trump a little way through the 6 months of his presidency has been non-confrontation he doesn't want to get involved really with any disputes the labor for the north not just because of how powerful the united states is but also because he wants to get on with his domestic agenda more on the story sternberger is a resident scholar at the american enterprise institute he says the mexican government has put itself in a weak position i don't know why what the mexican government expects biggest clearly the u.s. government is not a government that you can reach agreements with or you can then rely on they just renewed the free trade agreement with the u.s. and canada. and that is supposed to you know eliminate all there is between the 3
1:01 pm
countries so i don't know what they're hoping for but i know they put themselves in a weak spot obviously at the margin there is there are things they could do they can try to enforce the their their own sovereign border but ultimately what the u.s. is asking them to do is to turn themselves into some sort of east germany where they they build walls and whatever else to make it impossible to leave mexico and that seems. completely reasonable the band to make. still ahead here on al-jazeera i'm jim allen down then reporting from yami i meant arm a warning it's on the northernmost tip of the philippines won't sell you how the philippine military efforts to build a defense so here in greatly influenced other territories in the south china sea. also had a ringing endorsement from across the atlantic donald trump throws his weight behind boris johnson's campaign to be britain's next prime minister.

despite promises from prime minister justin trudeau just 3 years ago after the truth and reconciliation commission to implement all the recommendations off the inquiry off of the commission nothing or very little has actually happened the question this time around once again is so what's going to be different this time once again prime minister today says he'll implement some $125.00 recommendations in this report but it is difficult to believe the philippines is building its 1st military base on its northern most island it is uninhabited taiwan is just 80 kilometers away. explains why it's so important. it is not a contested area because it is well within the exclusive economic zone of the philippines but the philippine military is thinking ahead and fortifying its defenses here up north miami island or also locally known as marvelous island has long been a favored fishing grounds both for local and foreign vessels this is why this is
1:08 pm
also a huge food security issue the philippine military is now handing over most of the operations to the local government hoping that this island will become a refuge for filipino fishing vessels and security forces. are filipino fisherfolk i do ones who will benefit the most from this before this was developed there are so many citing supporters but when the philippine flag in the structures we build all of the poaching stop it is a matter of the pay you know we have it by in the end speed anything can possible be got united and you need to depend for that but you have. now experts are telling us that any efforts that the philippine military has done here on this barren island can also greatly influence efforts in all other territories of the philippines in the south china sea tanzania has become the latest country in africa

1:21 pm
because the lack of post storm services with detailed coverage this last night of the flag though people often say this struggling to make ransom notes and just want a better life from around the world as obviously has been offered to those who rebel against the government. except those involved in human rights abuses a war crimes. digital technology companies and it's interesting these men and any. even in t.g. billions of calculations you know ok it seems they discovered diamonds. in which everything in our lives he trained and trained. and intended. for his convenience profit and surveillance he only needs these. things. easiness killer charms tech job. and enable
1:22 pm
a different technology. one rep people are not a part of. the be. all that to us all. the problem with this but it seems that sometimes i don't really adjust to the no coast guard zone but i just got a zone which is halfway between when i was in the area. and seen the news or it was very very young. also awfully good of you to.
1:23 pm
do that but then. it's all based. on the me there's a man who will do it the. only ones with these guys really he crossed us with a good holiday you know this. really is all they have although not all people know that matthews the reality is we know nothing you won't get. to be friends we started east protocol of who you know which does especially the ox's to being able to field we didn't tommy's we don't really having to go to 5 years degree the atomics. i'm going to show you how to melt and electronic sounds that basically the 1st thing you need an arduino microcontroller you need there do we know code which essentially it's a computer inside one single chip doesn't have
1:24 pm
a screen doesn't have much but it can build things with some so it's. one of the early communities that john told all musicians illegal source of music old interfaces for computers then there was a lot of interactive use the lucian's of the baltics. people said to use a legal to build the 1st open source drill. then it was the 1st open source 3 d. printer. people said to go and see a look at this project for it's great i like you what do you use all used up do you know what he's a do you know. you guys were just in north from tustin nor you have what looks like a whole bunch of little tiny boards there mostly arduino microcontrollers so what arduino is is a open source hardware that you can you. used to write software that interacts with the real world when you're holding your hand as an arduino mega it's the the big
1:25 pm
one right now that i have this little chips that are microcontrollers. beat me is that if you become a computer you will find for example in the microwave over simple terrible stuff so study using that we realized that a lot of software and hardware was a baby with an open source license we want to something that you could build yourself if you wanted to it would be to make it cheap you need to cost like a pizza so i stuff to develop what became of the wheel. what happened is that at the same time that we start to become a little bit where norm the maker movement started to. come down to 0 and look at the very much right now 3. places that make a fair shed and we are writing to me this is making the robot which is that kind of symbol of maker faire not even in california to have it so big.
1:26 pm
the maker faire is an event that was started 10 years ago as a way to get the makers to get together and show what they were doing showing projects. what are you working on and this is the big lead on that if i'm walking around. liquid identify yes i was on a field when i was 3 on a video on a quality i only count on their device. while that's pretty cool that project is why i think this thing they could make that souls mold or you can put it in. a regular glossary you know you can use a form a lot of different that's an interesting project so basically we made a bunch of the any good lot of these one. it's like the kids. drawing on the fly
1:27 pm
when you get infected all right very nice. i said i would hope you'll keep your hands. on it the bigger picture from the bonnet and sent it over here and we know then that we painted on the. rock you know only engineer for children. do that if the film school. i. thought was. busy pretty maybe. the software that runs up to reno gets downloaded and once again for a 2nd. what's happening right now is very simple. technologies pervading every aspect of the law
1:28 pm
. at the moment that he's this perception that the can all just something you buy what's on the shelf but you know way if you look at the supermarket and it would only be pre-cooked food and you wouldn't be able to buy some fresh programs to cool then you would find that the world was not a free world you know you would have why the wanted to get canned soup only when in technology in a way now you go to a shop and there are yes $25.00 different types of targets but effective they're all doing the same thing so what if you decide that you want to do a different top level you don't want to do something else then you need to be able to sit down and think about it and maybe build a different one. i think if. you would is this is in for a sensor infrared sensor though this wire isn't. in my undergraduate
1:29 pm
education that i i learned like a postman and i figured out that doing things with commercial is not that fun actually i got what was the idea of the maker when they had english in berlin and i was no more that. right no than make the woman in china likely just. a guy. that was. known to be a big party and there is one requirement you have to have that object that you never blame you. for that act like so yesterday for about a month yet i think over something else when i started off as a kid i was very interested in understanding go to school one christmas my parents gave me as a present this kid who was a kid to learn about electronics he could build the circuit so if you make 7 you
1:30 pm
would stick the stage to put together the disk you plug a 9 volt battery you put your phone and and suddenly you hear voices you're like wow i just be the radio so those are very important for me because you want to stand that the chronology is not as complicated as you think it is. nice collar bone. but this is where you run your do we know. let's say i want to build something that tells me when i got too much sun time you know when i'm at the seaside i have to be careful otherwise i beg i could take a bus is a little component because then i think this other component. which is a light sensor. so constantly. when the month of life. and then you're putting your.
1:31 pm
every hour. take over. so we said to people who want to build a project the 1st thing you do open one of our examples so you just have to copy. all my dog. blinks in a different way i don't know why. so you start to create the connection between what you see on the screen what's happening in the real world.
1:32 pm
and. point of view. but the only way to. build stuff. that project that it takes like a stupid project comes from another project to somebody and they became that became that. impression that these 2 other people made back. to dr particular to see people that essentially step number 5 of 25 and at the end
1:33 pm
of the line there may be a very relevant thing that comes out of. that. hydrogen explosion has occurred at unit 3 of the hamster can put the human daiichi nuclear plant. in japanese authorities have ordered people within a 12 mile radius of the plant to remain inside more than 180000 people have been evacuated from the area. this is to be hoped though you can feel this is to be hoped though. the people who they used to live here they cannot come back here anymore because all of the. new korea occident. that it was really on clear about the the information.
1:34 pm
radiation contamination was we can the see if we can this made it we can offer you anything i didn't seeing the government is hiding anything i saw the government just cannot do cannot control the situation very well because it was very quite chaotic. i just sold if i have this in i g i ship you know something something something for others. i miss hunt that's how i start involving safe guests. the outside these high right now the whole point scene 7 inside a bottle legacy about hollow her experience you don't see this number so if.
1:35 pm
the box on the other there and the receiver that's sitting here is one of our 3rd generation the guy using it has a geiger counter and a g.p.s. receiver and and it was in every 5 seconds location. time and now the radiation of also everywhere i go and it's creating a data point every 5 seconds along this road which will upload our maps and be able to see the radiation levels around us and. there was no question we'd use any but we know from the very 1st. when the government tried to put out the information they basically said it was no problem in fukushima and there clearly was some people didn't know what to believe. and we have here and we do work that this older come to me from the girder condor and communicates with the p.c.
1:36 pm
to get through the radiation level ok rick you know that we were desperate to get the data on the maps we had to act quickly if we got 75 percent reliable data right away that was way better than 100 percent reliable data 2 years too late and . we got something working drachmas human. big i. read approved we have some strong rains outside. what are we measuring here right now to stay brood 36 now so it has to come out 36 so we see very consistent error reducing numbers coming. out of this these meetings with plain we don't really know the comics for a certain amount of coffee and they wouldn't have been able to wake up one day and build a network called network connected to geiger counters in the space of these a community needed them. and they were ready.
1:37 pm
so it's. all still ruder frank i'm not in the did we call these radiation droids because it kind of looks like r 2 d 2 so from star wars and these are these are the ones that started appearing but a year after jack all around fukushima this is this you know this is the japan this is the new one. where the problem is is that the government doesn't say anything about them we found them by just coming across as oh somebody putting in sensors there's no signs on who owns them or who installed them or how they work or where you can find the data online alians could have dropped this here. or is it 1.0. sorry 6 but anyway 1.0 micro seatbelt prove every compared to
1:38 pm
4 years of all the number has been decreased about that's because half life of the cesium one city and 34170 s. . the health effects of the stress of the incentives for example are having a very sizeable impact on the people up there you know it doesn't matter if the fear you have is based on something real and rational or irrational it's still a stress in people have a right to be told what's going on. i notice if just an excuse to like it's not all cut him up i just did and this guy. looks like it. needs to. stay. in but. because of the other night due to all. the conduct are.
1:39 pm
there sort of our being out there are so many more that's not good money my permit they need. some nice going to the mall the citizens who did this last night need. to stand up on the. please do get it up for me. that my. don't work and i got. mad at me there so they got. but i mean on the bottom is and i look at you know look at it by this kid the moment many and i'm on. this i would consider this number to point 1.15.18 reading for this position. this is you know since they meter suzy did it then they had to imitate that and us
1:40 pm
get them all on a 2nd i hate to be much greek and also their whole whole organized talking about it if you want to talk a little bit of this and the mcconnell had not invaded all that well you know much of the hottest. but not that it still goes the hamas to talk to them about i quite the quite. so you could pick up a caught up. with the sort of more kids you got to get it more as you would i go do you don't want to enough of a cook for us really not to. give an amazing feeling when i come across this kind of person. this
1:41 pm
is something that nobody could ever do. when you make something they can appreciate you don't think oh yeah one day somebody will probably use to crowdsource radiation . but the fact that you've created tools that enable people to do that gives you hope on the fact that there will be other situations where we can build something knowledge which is independently created and will help us in other situations like this. there is no safe level of radiation more radiation you get the more risk you have of a causing some kind of disease. people in korea or new. most of those places if the radiation were to stay stable to rest their life would probably increase their lifetime rate of cancer by half a percent doesn't sound like a lot when half a percent of 100000 people get cancer what's that $500.00 people so from an individual responder view it might be manageable from a free society point of view it's serious.
1:42 pm
but then a franklin you say god created us going i think. that he might. say cast is deploying a new network of sensors in the k. sions so we're going to put sensors that are instead of being on a car they're going to be on a building and they'll measure 24 hours a day. some people say it's. the radiation it's gone already and they don't want to talk about it anymore and they should learn more about the specific information and using the human pattern data is our data are no they're there. now that i'm still on. i don't know it's not that i know. that's it it's on. its i don't know i don't consider his his get it on the level of you know
1:43 pm
toaster to space shuttle it's a lot closer to a toaster and one sensor you know provide some data but it's going to be the network and then the string of data that comes from this and other ones it's going to have a have a big picture so you know it's one small piece of a very big network. the most recent reading is 20 c.p.m. 7 minutes ago. we started from almost nothing to barely workable system in a week and within a month we had something that was pretty good within 3 months we had something that was world class within a year. we are the largest open data database on radiation information anywhere. and.
1:44 pm
because the community now is not. that sort of people to realize that he's no one among to be me so they're trying to kind of cash in into this thing but they don't understand that by doing this they might make some money now and then they would in the community which is your blood easier you know what keeps you up. there were different moments that i could have given up but i believe you can build the business makes you more money than you would ever need in your life and yet you create something which is a lasting value for many more. i'm going to fight the legal battle but in the saying i want to work with my friends who believe in what i do. every allies that i spent the last 10 years basically almost like putting money into a lot of bank accounts that are not made of money that are made of reputation that
1:45 pm
are made of respect that are made of love and now that this thing is happening to me i'm basically going out and everybody's basically giving me back. all the love i give them we've interests. i don't want to live in a world where everything around me is the zine in california and made in china by somebody just make stuff because otherwise they will drive the choices we make where they will drive their way we will be created the only way to be subversive enough for fish nowadays is to be able to control the technology in a way you can propose an alternative. i also like the spirit that because you're makers that you're nothing about making mistakes in the ways good or bad is progress that's how you keep going to kill if you don't you may never know when the next one happens if that happens anywhere
1:46 pm
