was taken into consideration and i expect compromise because the united states in the middle east is dependent on territory turkey's support in terms of. when the war in syria ask lated turkey complained nisar sold by its nato allies were too expensive and in 2015 its partners withdrew their pet trade missiles from southern turkey turkey had then turned to russia to force its missile defenses now some say moscow is exploiting that the situation here overriding variation on the side of moscow is really to trigger a political escalation between turkey and on ited states which will have a very negative impact on the cohesion of the western alliance and they don't particularly turkey and russia say they are deal will go ahead and they will join the produce the next generation missile ass $500.00. but in retaliation the

forward line of the monsoon this is the average normal position for the jury it's actually only just coming into sri lanka now so it's a little bit delayed but it was last year it ends up actually usually averaging out forecasts they will see that rain start to come into carola certainly industry lanka but not much beyond that so headed our course it's still fairly hot $48.40 nine's in rochester and now russia for example that of course is going to last until the monsoon finally breaks and he will probably leap forward sometime in the next 2 weeks. let me take. like no please. wild west rain. storm against prostates on most skilled. nation comes to traffic in stadiums that are.

marcello ever ard said the 2 sides reached a compromise but he said it was i think it's a fair balance because the us had more drastic proposals at the start and we have reached a middle point that he agreed to support mexico's proposal to support the central american countries. mexico had already agreed to send troops to its border with water mala to control the flow of migrants seeking asylum in the u.s. it's now also agreed the u.s. could send asylum seekers who've entered the united states back to mexico to await legal rulings on their status but the us had to give up on its earlier demand that all guatemalan asylum seekers be deported to mexico and that honduran and salvadoran asylum seekers sent to guatemala the agreement also calls for the u.s. and mexico to work together to improve economic conditions and security in impoverished crime ridden central american countries the root causes of migration

says they must be held responsible for a long list of breaches. it's quite shocking when you hear that these steps are being taken against a child especially when he is that there has been a fair trial process and the boy has been detained for a long period of time and not been able to present a defense and also has been forced to confess to torture that that's probably likely to be the only evidence that there is available if you can serve on a council that's guaranteed human rights when you are violating it all the time of the new own borders but then of course the international community needs to go there they can be allowed to get away with these things for there to be no investigation no accountability there are a whole raft of diplomatic and sanctions measures that could be used and that would certainly be imposed against many other countries and it shouldn't be an exception

a 2nd opinion and only give us something to have spiritual comfort but at the end of the day it's a self that has to choose our own death and astrology has been part of thai culture for centuries it's mixed into thailand's unique version of buddhism but fortune telling doesn't belong to any specific class it's used by the world family by big business decision makers even students studying for exams. during the recent coronation of king maha corn royal astrologist inscribed the king's official titles and a horoscope of his reign on a golden tablet. astrology has deep roots in thailand one of 600 yes i think that different when it comes to thailand and other countries they have high respect for estrada just be viewed him as psychologists who sell society. poncy tool is one of thailand's most famous astrologist. he's hired by big companies as a consultant and endorses consumer products like tissues and paint his facebook

chums tech john. and the name or a different technology. one rep people not one of. the the. i like the concept of the unwashed masses that no one respects or thinks they have good ideas coming from but it's also the people who rise up and overthrow tyranny. that i'm a hacker and a troublemaker activist. i politically identified as a non ideological in a. league of let's say carol's town so we go out and find some cows we go over. to tell me more that you sure made books to the children to you kurt wallander you know.

i started programming. when i was 5. i learned to read so that i could read programming manuals. like i love about. this is a house that built with my family and we built it out of paper which is like this recycled paper. what we did was we just built the wall straight up and then we chain saw it out the hole where the windows are going to be. it's completely off the grid which means that both the communications up and down go straight to a satellite and actually try to figure how to get microwave internet which is going to all putting in tennis on top of the mountains to compound signals back and forth to try to get a life so to beef a bit faster. living out here you have to know much more about what's going on with your property you have to know all the systems there's no passing it off in some

ways that's very aligned with hacker culture you have to get in there and see how it works. programmers are like digital superheroes everybody else gets to use the technology the reality of which we play but the programmers we get to reshape the rules the physics of our digital universe. the values of hacker culture the values social movements exist more in startups than we ever think. capitalism is an astounding belief that the most likely just

a minute will do the most recognized of the things for the greatest good john maynard keynes. was a great. as it were my favorite shirt. in the back more world less bank. beats the less for the distance. the end of the number 999. going to negotiate a new round where companies could go in and overturn the country's laws and fight countries if their countries passed laws that hurt their profits. and so there was a very large protest maybe 50000 people. dead b.t.o. was supposed to be a shining moment for seattle but as we know it didn't turn out that way. demonstrators terming trading mainland he was a centralized thing. they created the narrative in the message and so in the media

had this radical concept that activists that anyone concerned about the world and social change should no longer focus on convincing journalists to cover their stories but they should make the media themselves. we have to find our own ways to get the message out revolution will not be televised by the corporate media the couple days before the protest i walk in and join dozen volunteers. that the whole protest inside just smelling the tear gas floating under the doors. building software that let people go online and publish their own. web site to staff the cranks and. that more plays grassroots politics in that they can from death from from their head downward to young and very exciting thing is emerging here in seattle and people's opposition to the world trade organization we set up

so that people are doing live streaming video in the streets be have laptops with all sorts of complicated network equipment published photos published video in the late ninety's that was a very rare interview thing that trade agreement ended up not being passed. that moment proved to be a shift where i said ok i'm going to quit my job to try and build software for social change fold. and so i spent 4 years setting up computer labs and websites who are into globalization. so you missed the raspberry but are there still or throbber everything i can still read. my friends pat hurst he's been trying to figure out how to build technology for activism to. he had this text

message alert system for protest it was something called text. ringback ringback in the summer of 2004 researchers produced a text model a cell phone text message broadcasting system text mob allows activists who are distributed throughout a city term in who are going i used during chaotic street protests the republican convention in 2004 was in new york and bush. has the money for reelection on the campaign of continuing occupation. so by this time we had any media sort of tweet like messages single said you know 150140 character long messages they were breaking news updates and we provide these every few minutes testers were able to bypass preemptive police tactics by sharing information on undercover officers and police techs mum was a bit of an improvised system but the basic idea was that users would have their

cell phones. and they would send messages to a server. going online saying i want to sign up for text mob and these are the information i want i want to be a member of this group and we had this p.h.p. web server. and appears the web server say great what's your phone number and what's your email provider in there then it would send email providers emails to the company sprint 18 th t. mobile. and that would then send a e-mail message that became an s.m.s. and those would go back and forth. the problem was 18 t. very soon discovered this and said you can't do that give us lots of money being a bunch of activists who didn't have a lot of money. we decided that we were going to do that instead what we built was

a. a sneaky system around that we build a what is called a peer to peer network. and we build a little java applet. and we put that applet in the in the media web page. and whenever we want to send an s.m.s. we send it out to all of these little applets running on many thousands of people's computers that uplift would then do the communication to the 18 t.'s of the world from a new ip address and this is all you need for saying you're not doing this anymore in 1000 pieces happily i'll deliver a couple s.m.s. is for you but not a lot and it started working and so we built this system that let us send 425-0000 s.m.s. is an hour through text mob without. having to pay for any. text in the media on the other optimism or is a major precursor to what has become

a media. i was a broke activist traveling around living in a v.w. bus that i bought for $200.00 and i saw this contract on craigslist listing the company trying to create a new media of communication and i was like i'm all for democratizing the media all do this this is the picture it's not a very good picture. but that's. that's the demo. of the original twitter and we've been video got lost. and this is the original team that got split up to work on twitter so when we divided up the teams internally who florian. and noah.

it looks like the picture was taken in a club or something. the whole team said let's look at text messaging let's look at social networks let's look at building stuff. when we took a text up and looked at it we said well ok this is interesting but it doesn't have the social model busy that blogging. and so the transition from twitter to text is that that reading relationship in the p.r.i. and the openness of the web. over the summer it went on i actually personally after we launched twitter which. i didn't realize what i myself was doing by part of the team that i helped create

and hire and partially that the way the technology worked and part of its roots in text bob and other projects i didn't realize the values that went into it you don't have to be conscious of the values that you're putting in things when you do it. this is one of those sort of the biggest commercially focused open source conferences nonsense there's i.b.m. and there's a paper and microsoft. they don't necessarily agree conducted by politics but there's none of this like you should be shunned because you want to overthrow capitalism. are you. near. the. good.

that the couple years i worked on twitter and then seeing it grow totally changed my life. i've done a lot of interesting projects and i've traveled around the world and built lots of software. it's a foggy field of bucks if you did the box exactly. and then one day i was talking to subpoena bill about how to build software for oil rigs. and i realized that is interesting is the problem was. i had. lost track. of the desire and the need to focus more directly on changing the world. and so i wrapped up

my projects and everything else i said that i needed to refocus and apply the lean startup techniques apply big data play start of technology open source all of the things back to the activist world that's where i am now. heading up to seattle we're going to drop in on a new project called the. and. the norden ization and software project that's been working for a number of years to create secure communication it was a very big problem with the way our e-mail and mailing lists the way your communications work. people think that they're sending a private letter and it turns out that what they're sending are postcards. believe team reach out to me because i'm one of the people that has bridged the gap

between the activist world and the startup world. there are not a lot of anarchists angel investors and so they wanted to find someone who could advise them on and raising money on being a viable start up all the same time knowing that they don't want to abandon the larger busy political vision of why they're doing. it. and it's it's really really important to have the capacity to

organize without all of your information being completely exposed and i think it's an egg. essential question for social change and no i don't think that it will be possible in the future without the capacity to communicate securely whether it's behavior tracking whether it's business intelligence or what are other forms of analytics it is the data that mattered not. on what most people in the tech read the radical took me to do. i've worked with and that sort of. the people who are dollar big. they're going to stumble into more vision solutions than the people who use intuition i guess taking a step back i would say all aspects of governance are increasingly becoming

systems of code and analysis and data and certainly the lesson out of the dot bomb of 2000. when the nasdaq internet stocks a version of their value in a week was that the companies left standing were the ones with the biggest databases and so that trance that lesson and that transformation has led to this current rise of surveillance as a business but surveillance is really a subset of this process of. social control through data and. to go and work for silicon valley is not selling out in the sense of like oh that band used to be cool and they sold out and made money it's not it's not like selling out it's like switching sides. using our labor it's very important to be building something that is not potentially part of

a dark distance. and you go and work for silicon valley the current game is building technology that could be used for talent areas social control. but if you don't collect data if you don't want to experiment and get the stats of it then. you determine that it's good. to achieve the larger political aims it needs to be something that exists going to get widespread adoption and that's a that's a company in this world. you know i spent 5 years travelling around setting up protests and building community centers and technology for activist groups with the goal of changing the media and the project which i told my friends i was selling out work at the start up a larger effect of transforming the media. twitter

. facebook or twitter it's a very good way for communication have no power control for maybe one it looks like the media like the t.v. i want to get some t.v. or whatever the are controlling everything now we could if you're going to i just make a capsule any bid you will for pictures i just upload it very little actual protests are coordinated on twitter. but the public street and the personal feeling about them is completely different. i. let people share ideas and me and share photos and share videos and shape the media and shape their own narratives.

only activists only people who wanted to achieve social change use a technology that it's very easy to get rid of so in the case of text mob it was easy to eventually block and shut it down because people only used it at protests but when people used twitter of protests twitter got used for lots of other things . to transform the world in the way we make social change we need the tools of social change be used in people's everyday lives for things that have nothing to do with social change.

with the chaos computer club camp camp and every 4 years it's where the european opportunity gets together and hangs out play. and connects with each other in a face to face real world. and this is the community that created me he leaks this is a community they created tor is a you know a community that says that privacy is important and this is the the the communities that build the internet. it's a campaign with power cables and computers that long as it doesn't rain it's great but what it means it's that everybody rushed to hit the circuit breakers and turned off the power is all that and. what i want to know. what do you think we should do but just be

brutally honest about how we should get in encrypted e-mail into the hands of let's say a 1000000 let's say a 1000000000 people and i like what should we do like next next month be next year needs to. launch products under different names with different designs with different sales pitches and everything else to see what people will sign up for you would basically say let's build 2 web pages of the one who let's begin with like i think when you think it was at 11 my pages here's a v.p.n. is great and we see him go sign up for that name another pages of e-mails great and we see how many people signed up for that everything will thing you think you can do in the lead cloud for and make you launch before you build. the startup world has figured out how to do stuff. and do things that make their

software work better and we think that selling out. if you don't do the experiments at all you'll never build something that gets used but i think like the problem is. with the people here is because they know that the kind of realize that the start up stuff might work a magician techniques there but when they see start up people and they see that the people who work in start are directed primarily by money or by fame i mean everyone here is camera shy no one here wants to be famous people want to be anonymous and thus like i kind of think that that actually is causing all of this weird. paradox of the like we know and already we need in order to be successful as revolutionaries we need everyone to use the stuff i think that's like the disconnect is almost ethical dest disconnect but it's not necessarily disconnect of

the techniques with them so. i want to talk a little bit about why people are using start ups or corporations communications of where and why they're not using us and in particular i want to encourage us to steal ideas and techniques from from the capitalist in the start of community. it's a race that we face it's a race between different applications to get security limitations we need to win the race and right now. we're not going to win that race. right now we have all these different projects very bravely in valley fighting out there and we're not learning quickly so we need we need to build things that people use we need to build. things that people want to use buildings that people love. as software

developers as people who work in startups as people who care about the future of the world we have to look at where technology is being built how it's being built what values go into it because those are the values that will then shape future society. global food production is wasteful and the straining our planet. pioneers are adapting with new food sources jellyfish is delicious with a very light seafood taste and a texture somewhere to color mari. and innovative production techniques i've seen a vertical farm before i would never in a restaurant after say this is great earthrise feeding the 1000000000 on a jersey you know. this is

a dialogue reading about it for nothing staying at an international media and on t.v. where she stopped this conversation with skepticism because there's a lot of it on my and everyone has a voice we have really taken advantage of just because we're a small community without a network just it helps join the global conversation on out as iraq all they want to do is try to do the same kind of debate that we have here in the street. in an ordinary week dr even atar at the heart of the only functioning hospital in town in north eastern south sudan and his team operate on around 60 patients the united nations refugee agency nominated him for the prestigious nansen award which you won in recognition of his work and the incredibly difficult to constance's. south sudan has been in conflict since 2013 the war has divided the country along ethnic lines

needs to recognize that the crime was committed secondly there needs to be an international investigation into the dispersal of the sit and thirdly all political detainees and old political prisoners held by the previous regime need to be released. the transitional military council hasn't said whether those demands will be met with the president of the transitional military council abdel fatah or han confirmed that the council is open for negotiations and reaching a solution at any time and god willing this mediation will have a good result. protesters have called for the immediate withdrawal of the paramilitary group the rapid support courses they are accused of raping and murdering protesters including children but some doubt that's possible i do have hope but i'm also.

being with us so let me ask you 1st of all then what do you make of these arrests of the opposition leaders and in particular timing of the arrest so soon after they had met with ethiopia's leader who is trying to mediate this whole thing between them and the military these. the 1st thing that he shows is that the military cannot be negotiating. and the opposition therefore has really very very little incentive to resume negotiations bear in mind that exactly a week ago that 2 parties were really just a few inches from resolving the last key outstanding issues in removing towards a civilian men government in time for the. timetable insisted upon by the african union by the end of this month and then the military 1st of all started killing the protesters now and started imprisoning me the opposition it it is

inconceivable that the opposition would be able to negotiate with them in expect nation that the military are acting in good faith under present circumstances busy and given all of that the opposition had demanded that the military rulers take responsibility for the violence that happened a couple days ago and now an international investigation into it to free political prisoners that's according to one of the one of the leaders. and that the date they would not agree to any deal before all of those conditions are met it doesn't look likely that the bets that there's any chance of that happening at this point does it not under current circumstances bear in mind that during those 5 long months of protests against the president around a shia the army acted with a great deal of restraint very very few people were killed and those were not killed by soldiers they were killed by militiamen and security on and the reason one of the reasons why beyond was they knew if there were

a massacre the massacre itself would become the issue of the day and not the the broader political demands of saving the country from the mess that it's in now not so much the army but the paramilitaries headed by general i met a full exactly into that trap that they have made themselves and their actions the issue of. that and that is the trap but they need to get out now the great majority of the professional army are i'm just and what the paramilitaries are doing they didn't like the paramilitaries anyway they were disciplined they were trained they maybe extremely active in combat but they cannot possibly run the country the army at least can share our with the civilian administration i think the paramilitaries in general and are shown that they are not only capable of doing that but are morally not chalk and again and another timing question here what do you make of this did the show of force that we saw from the security forces in in the heart

touma couple of days ago which came not long after. some of the military leaders had met with leaders from egypt and saudi arabia and questions about the influence that they may have had in all of this well there is certainly a major division between the position that is taken by the the african union which is that there has to be a handover to a civilian all 30 within the month which is supported by the western powers and the position of the arab states now saudi arabia and the united arab emirates are clearly been backing the transitional military council particularly its leader general corps who is to be very weak and his deputy general has met you the head of the paramilitary rackets or forces who appears to be very strong egypt is somewhere in the middle egypt likes the army does not like the paramilitaries now the question of the saudis and the m.r.i. is they've already got themselves into enormous reputational trouble because of

their intervention in yemen and the damage that's done not only to yemen but to them internationally are they going to fall into the same trap instead are they going to make the same mistake and i'm sure this is the moment in which the united states and the europeans and even the egyptians who have deep misgivings about adults' things and take a stand and say to the saudis and the emirates take a step back join the club that's a in a coordinated way we all want democracy we all want stability alex the wall good to speak. you know very well. venezuelan president nicolas maduro has reopened the border with colombia where international aid has been piling up at the crossing near kuttab thousands of people began the day in long queues these are live pictures right now from the colombian side we believe many intend to buy food and medicine because of shortages and high costs in venezuela the border was closed for

nearly 4 months due to said his political opponents wanted to bring aid to strengthen support for the opposition get more on this now from alexandro amputee who is in the colombian border town of kooky top 4 so alexandra what are we to make of this decision by the president to to reopen the border with colombia and why now . well it's time 1st of this comes as a huge as a huge relief for the 10s of thousands of venezuelans who rely if not hundreds of thousands of innocents who rely on colombia as you were saying in your introduction for food and medicine but also medical services inside colombia since the situation has become so desperate called in their towns and cities inside the venezuela because of the shortages of many goods but also the difficulty in having

a reliable water and electricity service in many of the big cities now as you were saying the border has been closed for almost 4 months a lot of people whereas crossing illegally through dirt paths underneath the illegal crossing that are used by criminal groups for contraband so there have been a number of incidents the situation was out of control on both sides of the border the 2 countries are really not talking they're not working and coordinating. to kind of control this crisis after a border so i think that for the venezuelan government the situation was that unsustainable this will probably help to reduce the social pressure inside the venezuela indeed it's easier becomes easier for people to cross into colombia and find the things they need so that's probably the reason why the

government decided to do so they had partly reopened the bridge is already a month and a half ago at least for kids venezuelan kids to study in the ankle won't be asked and for seniors and people who were in urgent medical need so that's what we're seeing right now it's an easing of this situation however as you're saying people are piling up and crossing is not that easy even on the legal bridges because they were blocked with come saying there's by they're going to spend on government and those containers are still there sort of somehow is colombia handling this influx then well it's definitely one of the biggest crisis for the government here how to deal with it at least for now 1300000 venezuelans that are.
