10:30 pm
over it a supreme court justice, there is a sense at the conference that dante was wronged, punished for being on the losing side of political battles. that royal 14th century florence, one of dante's direct descendants, was happy to take part, but was under no illusions. i find it sort of amusing, to be here to listen to what they have to say. i think that the revision by itself will have no practical effect. and of course dante dantes memory does not need this other florence may never officially clear dante's name. the supreme poet, if he's known, will continue to draw visitors here, inspiring them for years to come. adam rainy al jazeera florence. ah, the main story now,
10:31 pm
a sci fi between israel mass and allied palestinian groups as brought com to gaza since taking effect in the early hours of friday. this is the scene now in the gaza strip, where many people have been able to return to some sort of daily routine. of course, after the past 11 days, they've been spending that evening's sheltering from over night air strikes and continuum bombardment. hurry force that is inside garza for us and i don't know quite what i expected on my way down here, but it wasn't really this just to seem largely pretty jubilant. victory celebration needed also an opportunity to get out and have what many people hear it holding a post stained aid. and so you've seen people walking around, dressed up, going up and down the promenade by the beach, enjoying themselves. some going along in convoys waving palestinian and other flags playing music. and so celebrating this victory that chanting about jerusalem, they are out of the homes with
10:32 pm
a sense of relief and liberty. but there were also most commissions at the alex a most compound and occupied east jerusalem mirroring events from 2 weeks ago which led to the conflict is ready. security fortified. don grenades towards worshippers, also been confrontations between policy and protest. business railey forces, illegal settlement bait al, which is close to my presence as a total of $82.00 palestinians have been injured in the west bank and jerusalem. living some other stories now and ref, fungal diseases complicating india's fight against the corona virus. doctors, a dealing with arising number of patients diagnosed with so called black fungus. it causes double vision, chest pain and breathing difficulties, and it kills more than half the people who catch it was bad lines this hour. the stream is coming out. next news,
10:33 pm
news, news, news. ah, ah, i am you okay on today's bonus edition of the stream, south africa namo batter a u. n. a c l goodwill ambassador. and when the stars of coming to america is coming to this stream, it is such a great interview. make sure you stick around, right the end to see it. we take a close look at the audio at the club house and ask whether the free reading conversations it promotes could be dangerous in countries that restrict free sprints. and there have been multiple reports of content from palestinians, just disappearing on line. the stream brought together 3 expert who had no doubt
10:34 pm
that some of the biggest social media platforms in the world are suppressing palestinian voices. we are not paranoid, we are not paranoid about what happens on flushing media over the past. let's say, 7 or 8 years. we've seen evidence clear evidence of censorship, of accounts being taken down of double standards in the way facebook or twitter deals with the city and news page, and then history and the propaganda ministry page. for example, we've seen those double times. we've seen the evidence over the past years, when we say there are issues and there are problems they can be dismissed as technical issues or the censorship is really because we know the evidence is there, and it's always changing and changing and shifting forms. but we're not paranoid. the censorship is always there. palestinian activist and journalists and users of social media have been decrying the discrimination that they're facing on the,
10:35 pm
on those platforms for years. but i personally someone who has worked and wrote a lot about this topic. i have not seen anything of the scale. so brazen at this point and so incredible i it's beyond censorship. it's, it's digital repression. social media companies are actively suppressing the narrative of palestine indians and what their eyes were, sharing solid, solid, their contents with what's happening in palestine or documenting human rights violations and war crimes. there are like us to metric efforts to silence palestinians on the online space in the government is trying with all its power to silence palestinians, either through the voluntary take downs where the israel cyber unit is sending greek rest to request an equal to the hosting media company, for example, and 2019, and they had made like 19000 requests to the social media companies regarding the
10:36 pm
content take down the content, dig down and in 2020. then i'm but only continue to write everything he saw just there was broadcast live, but they were more revelations to come about. the digital battle polish teens are current a fighting on line. so keep the conversation, but to allow more mono. and i had behind the scenes of the episodes ad the is there any intelligence service they were, they were checking and making activists in jerusalem. and they were telling them that we were held you accountable later on. so they were threatening the activists either who's going to optimised by using the gps. so that is their intelligence using g p. s to spy on people and then they send, they send them a short message that we are going to hold you accountable later on. and there is other cases where the intelligence service, they,
10:37 pm
they send messages to people calling them look for things on social media. and by doing them, they are threatening that i should need the activists and the human rights defenders. janie and box service introduced this new system during the coverage crisis to track every mobile phone held by every palace. not even new in every every mobile phone held by anyone and associating the number with chip with an id card with a name and the tracking location. the tracking system is it's always been there, of course, but it was list amazed by the connected but as a parliament and it came, it became law and the services were using. it's in abusing its over the during the course period. and we believe that introducing such a method, such a measure for pandemic purposes is, is really, it would be really easy to abused by this a back services which we knew want to intimidate and talk people. and that's
10:38 pm
probably the source of such a messaging. what worries me the most is that, you know, it's not just take down, they are modeling users. you are being model without knowing you're being muzzled. and that you know, the, the, the temp of power you can function as a non transparent company. i'm like here users, even though they have made many public commitments to uphold human rights to they even facebook, especially they had a huge corporate human rights policy issued a couple of months ago in march. but when you see their commitment versus the actual action, it's 2 different stories. and i'm glad, because finally, we can say with full confidence that you are discriminant, your bias,
10:39 pm
and you are suppressing the protest being in there. i think there is no other way, you know, there is no one but can say, well, you know, it's just a bunch of accounts is the technical glitch. and i want to add to this is that, you know, for social media, it's not how, you know, it hasn't only just helped us penetrate into mainstream media. and the palestinian narrative actually forget about the policy and narrative to fact from the ground. the, the, the fact of a part hired the fact of genocide, the fact of ethnic cleansing, they are finally breaking through and people are talking about it publicly without fear. and it's also saving people's lives. it said the people in general and elsewhere from being evicted from their homes without, you know, there's so much that can happen in the dark and having social media and live streaming and documenting has helped in that sense. it's really disappointing and i
10:40 pm
would say disgraceful. and discussing that as social media companies, even though they, they claim that they're the voice of all people. they're actively suppressing people who need those platforms. the most. we stay in the digital well, to unpack how the audio chat platform clubhouse is being used globally. once it's loaded onto your son, you can browse through thousands of rooms looking at the conversations to listen in to take parting or even moderate gina, shell gas in the gall motors, avi melissa china. mark jones talked about the difficulties of using an app that promote free speech in countries that don't encourage open dialogue after the broadcast. i asked them to dish some of the best conversations that they'd listened in t. welcome to overheard ink of house. not going to get us started the conversation i had was it was, it's very interesting discussion about gender roles and sexuality in golf countries
10:41 pm
. and i thought that was kind of fascinating because, i mean, i'm going to, i'm a sort of professor and we do talk about this in class and a very kind of private space where after a time of people feel space. but to hear people talking in chinese experiences from the gulf on clubhouse in what is a very open for, i'm really kind of i thought was really nice. it was refreshing. how much do i want? i want to offer more detail here. well, i think it was, i think we talking about the sex education, we were talking about sexuality. what, what, give me rights, which talk about in the middle east. right. you know, it is the red line in most countries overheard in comp house. melissa, the one story that stands out for you, i think it does have to go back to what's happening and she jen and the engagement between weaker than han chinese and there was one moment where han chinese woman,
10:42 pm
i don't remember if she was in china or out but she said, i want to tell everyone in this room that i feel heartbroken over what my government is doing to to you. we girls who are listening and i wish there was something i could do to change it. and i think a lot of wiggers true gone through so much trauma, needed to hear that from an ethnic chinese. it was really intense. and he and you heard, you know, come talking teacher, i just remember that and i could go on, but yeah, mega as a hurting club house. well, i would also say it has to do with the me to conversation. there's been him need to move moments a sort of a new movement over the past couple of years, year or so that started on twitter. but then with the it was mostly, you know, anonymous accounts, a lot of he says she said,
10:43 pm
we're not sure how can we trust this, but then suddenly clubhouse came. there were these rooms of hours and hours of discussion and people would just drop in their own name, their own voice, and start telling stories of these me to issues about celebrity prominent musicians, artists that would just mind blowing mind blowing, and it wasn't at all possible on twitter and it wasn't possible with media because the media is very careful when it comes to me to stories for legal reasons or they don't want to be sued. they don't want to just put people on air to talk about these things. but it seems like club house gave a platform to a lot of iranian women and a new found courage because you would see various with him drop into a room. and each of them talking about the issue would give course to someone else coming up saying, i've been living with this for 10 years, but now that i heard so and so talk about it and hear her voice shake or her cry. whatever. i want to talk about it's,
10:44 pm
it's been really groundbreaking when it comes to the me 2 movements in iran. i am going to give us all 30 seconds to do this. and today i was on camp house and i spoke on clubhouse. i had so much they, they, me, they wrote me out, then i got to talk and they were like, i now were kicking me back to you williams, because you'll to champion, it was so much fun. i loved it all. but it was for research. i had, i had a blast and reasons i'm, i look a lot more. i had spoken. what was that like? yes, i spoke but and because i was invited to a panel, i've been too afraid to volunteer my perspectives in a random room just to scary. alright, really have you have have you spoken? yeah, i have although in the rooms that i described, i was silent because i didn't think it was my place. i was reported really sort of listening in on these conversations. but i spoken on more panel like stuff and more
10:45 pm
official stuff. i ran a room, one writing art and i've spoken to panels. and sometimes when i go into the rooms they try to bring me up and i don't have anything to us. so i keep rejecting, i just feel so bad and i eventually have to leave the room because they just do it so many time. but yeah, it's been an interesting experience and now for something completely different. so let geo engineering is a very nice area of climate science that has scientists arguing with each other key the flights. so this is the theory. this is how it works. you release into the stratosphere material that reflects sunlight back up into the stratosphere. and so energy as well, which means that theoretically down on the of, we could be much cooler despite global warming. this is a theory. the research is not exactly sure what the repercussions of solar do you engineering might be. for instance, how do you control the cooling?
10:46 pm
who get to make those decisions? and right at the end of the debate which we had on the stream, andrew fish while we're hogan brought up another major issue. so i think i've been talking to for people to know that be sort of followed you engineering kind of, he's been dominated by a group of institution that is based in the globe is not so the only a constructive way forward on this is to establish an international governance, mackenzie, that is, that is sort of luck to international participation. so that's why we ended the live discussion with an assertion that scientists in the global notes. i tried to make decisions that could harm people in the global south. that's the conversation i had to finish actually continued her points off to the forecast. so i mean, i think it's a really interesting time to have this conversation about solo you engineering as the sort of going to a little bit to make that highlights the diesel communities that are regionally
10:47 pm
located in the field. the south. i mean, it's sort of highlights the fact that a majority of the population, that's b as in a little bit how needs already had the most existence. and there isn't enough the capacity to join them all. so, i mean, we do need to be thinking these uncertainties and risks that affect these communities more sci fi. so when it comes to code, you are engineering in all of this research that is happening all of the uncertainties and discs shouldn't be discussed. it should be highlighted, i mean, we should not be dashing them in discussions and in detail. so with that in mind, it is important to create community. you said we are able to have open and critical conversations about in engineering. so to that extent, it is really important to have more voices on, on, on this issue like we need to have more work system than human. how would we need to have more young people invoice in the conversation? we need to have been involved in this conversation. i need to keep going. i'm
10:48 pm
guessing we all 100 percent agree. i mean, kelly and i both been involved in an organization that has tried to fund research across the global south. i've been involved now for 20 years trying to reach out to people. i think my 1st trip to india was honest, i think was more than 10 years ago. so that's, that's exactly what needs to happen. every single thing that address that is right . i think maybe one thing to say is that the fact is solar to return research is more or less the same as it is climate science. very similar and climate science is unjustly contrary to the rich countries. and so it's not surprising that that's what's happening here. and what we need to do is find ways to get the voices from the poor countries legitimately into this conversation in a way that matters. well. i wanted to say in silver lining, we recently launched global youth initiative, which focuses on young climate professionals from around the world and particularly the goal of south so that we could try to get them engaged directly with the experts that we deal with both in the policy fear and the science fear,
10:49 pm
but ultimately to enjoy his point about or her analogy which chronic virus. one of the, one of the realities of the situation is that the rich countries have resources to accelerate innovation and science quickly against some of these big systemic problems. and so for us, the question is, how do we leverage some of those rich country resources to make things to innovate and help make things available to the rest of the world, particularly where we have a serious safety crisis that's emerging, that's going to hit the developing world harder. so we were hopeful that there's a possibility for rich countries to invest resources in a way that it are his open and accessible to others. and them allows them to participate in the decision about what ultimately to do. i realize that's a tricky line to walk that, that,
10:50 pm
that's how we think on it. and now to one of my favorite conversations from the streams instagram life series. so the african actin nom, zombie and batter slipped to my colleague, just rushing recently about her korea and the story behind landing a major role in the film coming to america. while view on instagram life said this is a beautiful interview. i have to say, i completely agree. take a look. did you go for a number of american movies before you landed coming to america? no. my 1st one. it was my child and i had just some people walk through life, charmed so many other edition. teach. ready and had gone for so many go fees, and so many meeting the coffee director and my thought would come on and then it just happened. and you know, i was an i would be shooting some content for the human. and i got the call from my agent and it was like, you gotta get like this for coming to america. this is the role. you know,
10:51 pm
you can send a tape, but i would say be in the room. so you're on set remaking. classic comedy you're with one of the largest stars in the world. and you mentioned you had a bit of, of imposter syndrome then to did i did talk about it. i never thought that i would be able, i would experience it, you know, and that's a new and i, and i'm grateful that i've been able to be honest about it and speak out about it because i guess because about it, you know, everybody puts on the confidence suit and for me, i guess i just, it was a crew of almost 300 people. coffin crew of almost 300 people. shooting at the pilot perry studios, which has just been opened last week and all the biggest hollywood world t have been in attendance. and then you are surrounded by, you know, hollywood royalty itself. that has been relevant for over 3 decades.
10:52 pm
longer than i've been on and you have been passed to bring to to be a part of this and, and bring all the time and bring all attendant and, and believe that you deserve to be. that's a lot of responsibility. and i remember just having a conversation with myself at the end of this particular day that we were shooting, it was one of the days of shoot. it was actually the 2nd day and it was eddie murphy. and so i go to my trailer and i'm changing and it's the end of the day and i'm changing, i think it was all. why do you feel like this? why anyone who would be in your shoes would feel so all in one would be here? would feel so grateful and be floating and be boasting about it. why are you playing small? why are you diminishing yourself like this? and, and it was just on my mind and i thought the question,
10:53 pm
i guess when it comes to syndrome is why me and i guess the retaliation of the fight in. yeah, it should be. why not? you isn't and one she but the following day sherry had who plays that queen lisa? she pulled me to the side because we're doing some group picture and i was just like in the back. like. and you just don't like the side and she doesn't for my shoulders and says, i have been way you off your plate small. don't do that. do that. and i remember just like boiling my i said anything but clearly the something that she felt in my energy and as a bold my about interested, you're playing small,
10:54 pm
stop playing small. i've been way you are. you deserve to be sure you deserve to be here. now we're hoping to pay anything i can tell that wisdom. yeah, but you don't need anything i can tell. so i know that you're un goodwill ambassador. you've done a lot of work and africa, the refugee camps in malawi. i've been to many refugee camps myself, reporting all over the world, particularly middle east, and i often found myself scratching my head on a lie. i've been so lucky in my life, maybe someone there hasn't and trying to understand how our lives have the same value. we're, we are experiencing the same existence on earth, but you know, the existence of living in l. a. when everything is going right. and the existence of letting a syrian refugee camp couldn't be more different, almost as if there are different lives on different planets. and i don't think i've
10:55 pm
ever fully reconciled it. i don't think i fully understood it, but i know that kind of go through this journey of being a journalist and thinking about it's one of the things i'm, i'm always trying to reconcile and always trying to understand how do you reconcile that? and that, that suspected i should speak about it in mind to talk about the us that exist. right. but i don't, i don't think i, i to have gotten to the point to reconcile with it. i remember the one time must have been february and i had just been to south sedan, which is, you know, still a very much water country and with all the tensions that they are, this is 2018 and 19, i think. and i had and you know, i had gone to my bon into involved done, which is the most remote refugee camp in the entire world,
10:56 pm
most remote. and i just come back and as i landing on landing in cape town, and i'm supposed to host with huge polo even with the most silly. now you cannot even imagine a contrast of it all. i had a lump in my throat throughout the entire day hosting. just looking hosting and telling everybody, just champagne, ladies and gentlemen. but something was in here and something was right here, just the heavy burden and this i can guilt stupid guilt after guilt of having experienced what i had experienced and see what's coming up for you with projects. what's coming up with a project i'm working on a documentary currently, i guess with all the work that i've been doing with you in a c, r. i think this is the time now to put together documentary all my most people get
10:57 pm
up met. and even so, not, you know, again, for me, i don't believe it's one in 15000000 refugees on an 8000000 refugees. it's one refugee 8000000 times. and so how do we know that into, into the lens? and so i'm working on really excited about my boss to get on fits with a very, very awesome gentleman who've done a lot of kicked films for decades. and i get to be seen cod enough for a lot of that. i take the lead on a film that's about, well, about finances in the next couple of days or probably next week. so i'm really excited about that and i just continue to do the work. i continue to do the work non damo bassa and josh rushing and non i did mention she had a major film project coming up and just tried to get information out of
10:58 pm
a he got an extra, even with or of his 4 eyes experience. he couldn't point the information out of non amo, but we promise you, well we have, we'll put it on our screen social media platforms. and that is show for the day than for watching. ah ah ah ah, i care about shelby us engages with the rest of the world. i cover foreign policy national curity. this is very much a political impact here the conflict. how do we grade it? are we telling the good story people, what we're trying to do here? they're living outside and make sure this is not the way any family wants to raise
10:59 pm
their children. we're really interested in taking you into a place that you might not visit otherwise. it's actually feel as if you were there . covered 1000000 team has compounded the homelessness crisis in abandoned impoverished families of forcing radical jane. she decided to say, hey, we're going to spend the human rights by claiming property left vacant by the state . the 1st thing i did was i changed my duty is to get my daughter safe. that means breaking the law that i'm willing to do that for one shelter in place and a fight for housing owner to 0. a father should be a protector who. ready forgot terror, he was, had told me, ah, betrayed for years she carries the evidence inside her. or will this be enough to find justice in afghan as john's patriarchal society?
