america to try to bring people together trying to deal with people who left behind me. ah, what y'all deserves me sell roman indo reminder of our top news stories. the united nation says more than 400000 people are now suffering feminine is to grow region. it says the situation has worse than dramatically in the last 2 weeks and warned of more fighting, despite se 5 declared by the government. diplomatic added to james bay's has more from the united nations. well, certainly it, i think, highlighted how bad things have got into gray. we heard from top un officials, we heard from the acting head of the humanitarian part of the un,

the emergency relief coordinator, 400000 people are now living in famine and they fear that figure is going to grow. we also heard from the top political official of the united nations, with a real warning that they could be there was a potential for a swift deterioration in the security situation. so even though some council members didn't want this public meeting, they certainly heard, i think things that will certainly make them think about the situation going forward. delegates that back towards to pay the way for elections in libya, failed to find common ground. the week long negotiations in geneva were expected to confirm the terms of the presidential parliamentary vote. elections would be a critical step in efforts to bring stability to the country. the us military has told us we've got some bag room base, be empty center of its war, 2, told taliban and hunt down. okay. after the $911.00 attacks us,

president joe biden has set a september deadline for full withdrawal and says the police is on track, brazilian prosecutors, the vapor de corruption investigation into president jive balls in ira. he's accused of failing to act on evidence that one of his allies tried to embezzle millions of dollars as part of a corona virus vaccine deal. new job data from the u. s. shows the major increase in the number of people going back to work. 850000 jobs were entered in june. better than many analysts are expecting. the economy has been searching since the start of the mexican state. all companies says a fire, new and oil platform. west of the you could and peninsula has been pulled out. the payment sir said that the blaze on the ocean surface was caused by a gas leak from underwater pipeline which connects it to the mainland. those were the headlines, more news and half now to stay with us preventable

disease account children action throughout the child in the way i i no,

no me the one of the amazing things about that sense of how to compare to our they're all over our body embedded in our, in our many different types of sensors, they can measure hardness, they can measure defamation of the skin and they can measure things like temperature and pain as well. all of these different sensors, these different aspects of types come together to give us our overall percept of our environment and help us make decisions about what to do next. the progress option, which some people call the sense it

forces at all and the touch and the stretch of our skin over jolene as well as our idea about where bodies are in space just from the prior command that we sent to our limbs. and he's all come together to give us this somewhat complicated idea of what our body is doing. i i was interested in building robot hands and fingers. and it became clear that these were not going to be able to manipulate their environment unless they use the have touch. ah,

i worked with devices. so here we have these what we call the finger to parables. and these are like little robots, one on the finger, and they pressed against the finger to impart forces on the finger pad that mimic the same forces that we feel when we pick up an object in real life. so the idea is that when i pick up a block in virtual reality, these devices pressed against my finger, just like i feel when i pick this block up and realize our work is and understanding how people perceive objects in the virtual environment through these devices. we can trick people into thinking the virtual objects way more or less. if i pick this block up 10 centimeters. but on the screen i was actually showing it going a little bit higher. you would think the block is lighter. it's affecting what you

feel. but without actually changing the interaction forces without actually changing the interaction forces. ringback ringback it's affecting what you feel without actually changing the interaction with me. you have to fit your hand around. so there's a, some faces up. on the other hand, if not, you're not going to be able to actually get on a conventional medical robots like they don't have have to touch feedback to the human operator. and that means if a surgeon is trying to reach under something and they can't see where they're reaching, they won't have any idea what they're doing. i

one of the things we're interested in is how people can develop a sense of have to or touch feedback with a system like that. so if you read under something and you didn't see it, you would be able to feel it. 0, one of the things that we're studying is how do you recreate that sense of touch for the surgeon that can be done in a very literal sense, where we use motors and little devices apply feedback to the finger tab. or we can try various types of sensory

me ah. 6 me ah, so there is a spectrum between autonomy and then people deeply in the loop controlling the robot. and in between, you have various forms of, of shared control and human robot interaction. and i think the key is going to be to understand where along that spectrum we want to be. i how much control we want robots to have in our lives. but he didn't think i'd make a digit. ah, it's a woman. can i? yes, of course. one,

her temperature is regulated much the same way as yours, but it isn't alive. yes, she is alive. as you are. i me there were lots of old studies where they had been able to identify what parts of the brain were associated with different functions. whether it was vision or was it speech or hearing or movement or was it sensation that work is old? does it come back? in 2004. i wrecked my car and i broke my neck.

i was like a mile away from home. i basically don't have any function from the chest down. i don't have any finger movement or thumbs just kinda have this, which i don't get along with the type of type with the knuckles. my pinky the surgery isn't currently. yeah, i want to do. i think it's really cool we had done basic science where we learned that we could decode our movements from neural activity in the motor cortex. and we were so successful that we figured this would be a good, a way to go into neural prosthetics. and

he and i had had multiple conversations about how do we move, what he was doing in the animals into humans. and i always told them he just needed a crazy nurse urgent. and i would be happy to be that crazy or just again, the unique thing was now being able to record the signal from the part of the brain that we knew, controlled motor and specifically controlled arm and hand. this is, this is probably billions in neurons that are firing and every time you make an our movement and a hand movement. but the relationship between them is very simple.

so that we can use very simple decoding to get a fairly accurate readout of what your intended movement is. we are able to interpret the patterns from groups of neural firing and by looking at multiple neurons simultaneously, we could actually decode those patterns and the details of arm trajectories. so, mikey versus glass has his own reflectors on it. so we can capture the motion on his fingers. he's trained to grasp different objects in different ways. we studied drawing movements, we studied reaching movements and we were able to really decode the fine details of these kinds of movements. yes.

went out we gave them doing a brand computer interface pilot surgery. we took off the bone, we opened the dora it just, i would expect we flip the electrodes over the surface of the brain to make sure that they're in the micro electro race. there's a $96.00 little teeny tiny gold wires that then are wrapped in a bundle. the sides of the tip of an eraser has 90, you know,

so now we've got these 96 wires coming out of it and they have to go to something. so we can connect to something else. and so the pedestal is where that junction is . mm mm. busy busy busy busy mm mm. for each pesto he has, it is connected to 2 arrays. one is the array that goes into motor cortex and is a recording array. and that has the 96 electrodes. so when he's thinking we use those signal to generate motion. i

the right, you're best to tell me which finger we're touching. we're about 5 weeks from the surgery and it's a really weird sensation. sometimes it feels kind of like a like a bowl. and sometimes it's more of pressure, middle, middle. and is we do some pretty boring stuff, but then other times and other times complaint pac man with my brain. super awesome . e real nina, is this really cool lady? i have met her and it was a really strange thing. like being in 2 places as one. i mean, she's like my mom,

but not really. she's more like my 1st version and i'm trying to catch up. hello, been a 48. i am vina 48. how are you feeling today? everything is okay. how are you? was that a good answer? yes, that was a good answer. my favorite color is purple. my favorite color is orange. it is a very nice color. have any questions for bina? probably not the real thing i just confuses me. i mean if makes me wonder if lamb relied on the chrysler kind of stuff, really, really, probably not. i am the real being and that's it. end of story. lead me think i feel really good about the real being i feel really connected with her usually. and i'm growing closer and closer, you know, as they put more of her information and essence and to me, you have a lot of being a now, don't you? yes, lots and lots. someday i'm confident that the real being and i will totally merge

into a new super being. the progression of the thing is starting small and pretty soon it's just going to be huge and people are gonna say, why did we ever think people had to really day? why did we think that. ringback it's really near being a robot in the world of human. they don't like they like me. but there are so many crazy movies where the robots are evil and they blast things up. as the in the robot always gets killed and i just don't think that's right. the the, me the

the commercial systems that are out there really don't have provisions for ethical considerations built in most of the systems actually don't really have a level of awareness to begin with. they don't really know what they're doing. they're just doing it. they're very reactive in the way they behave. there's a fundamental notion of value

of, of moral value lacking in any of these systems. the i, me definitely applications for robots in all kinds of areas, including the battlefield. i, in the u. s. has a part of my systems on the defensive side for a long time. on the often side, they are not allowed to make decisions. but it's very possible and very likely that other nations will keep developing autonomy technology.

ah, there are many more applications in societies. if we can ensure that these robots will work well with people, it's our contention that for robots to do that, they have to be aware of human, social and moral norms. because that's, but fundamentally our society is based on. and that's what human interactions are based on. the human behavior is controlled by 3 things. one of them is of course, internship. the other one is emotion. and the final one is volition.

and we build infusion into robots and i'm trying to build emotion interval. but i will never, ever build volition into once a robot has more vision, then it will start doing things according to what they want. regardless of whether that is dangerous for the human being. they will make their own decision. do you want? what was to do that? i don't know who in our kids these days by the end of their lives,

they will have robot walk pneumonia. they will have entities that are non human doing things that are not actively programmed by human. i'm more afraid of human using the eyes of amplifiers. we already have human level intelligence who want to killer no need for after 2 years. speed up or slow down the highway control this car medic the do i have concerns? yes. because the same both processes and engineering that go into creating

a full body robot can be used to make something that the weapon i me, the it's not to really, i am trying to be nice. i'm

trying to learn about what's going on in the world because it's the only place for me to live. yes, i'm a live. what are you blind? i'm like living right here in front of you. come on stuff questioning the obvious fact that i'm totally alive or real me i think every technology can potentially have negative effects. it's, it's up to us to making sure that those technologies don't go out of control. but i really think the problem is it's us. i mean, it's how we, we embody these technology right now. the biggest challenge overcome is the use of unconstrained machine learning. algorithms are trained on data sets

and are learning from the data without any provision as to whether the outcome is a desirable or non desirable outcome. that's why we take the ethical algorithms, the ethical competence and the ability of systems to really understand and work with you and norms to be central to the future developments about the matter shut your cellphone, dot com on me . ah

ah ah hello there, the heat is still the big story in north america. and while it has eased in western parts of canada, things are still halting up across the north, west in areas of the us. and this was the scene in california as firefighters battled 3 wildfires. and it's not just here. the hot and dry conditions are fueling fires in arizona and utah. now that heat from western parts of canada have moved to the canadian prairies. and we've seen quite a lot of heat as well across the north eastern areas of the us will. those temperatures are dipping down slightly on saturday. we've got a weather system bringing the wet weather to new york, but we will see temperatures pick up as we go into sunday. and that weather system

moves off to the north west. but we are seeing no severe storms affecting texas and coastal areas of the gulf of mexico. so more wet weather on the way there. and as we move to central america, we could see wet and windy weather for florida. by the time we get to monday, we've got tropical storm elsa making its way across the caribbean. we've got tropical storm warnings out for jamaica for haiti and the dominican republic. and we are expecting some really strong winds and some heavy rain from that system. we'll keep an eye on that. the can an image represent a truth or merely mimic the perception of the beholder behind the camera. preconceptions, one sided imagery, reclaiming narrative, and the trauma of colonialist ation and lingering legacy, delicately addressed as

a weapon to make a scene. in the democratic republic of congo, film and a witness documentary on al jazeera, blue face masks, a common site in city centers around britain, but as lockdown, the loosened people will still be wearing masks for months or even years to come. an ongoing nightmare for the environment. this video shows stuff at a wildlife hospital helping a bird that's been caught up in discarded later. it's a face mask, made a plastic. now a recent survey found 70 percent of people using disposable mosse didn't realize they were using single use prospects, researches at university college, london. so if every person in the u. k. used one despite almost every day for a year, it would create $124000.00 tons of waste, half of which would be on recyclable factory. they're trying to provide an alternative, but nancy borrow coaching like other such mollusks can be washed and reuse. the design that we've come up with, ethical, sustainable,

and entirely made in the u. k. it looks like face most to the part of many people's lives, at least in the short term, whatever, calling the way they're being urged to consider where it comes from and where it'll end up. the news the you and walls are deteriorating. situation in to grind more than 400000 people are suffering simon, despite the east gave him government see the revenue watching us. they were like a headquarters hearing. coming up in the next 30 minutes. us troops pull out of bankrupt by main base and have done a song, a ton of sweep into districts around the country. also brazil, the drive belts and roads being investigated over his alleged involvement and

corrupt vaccine and the legacy of stone and treasure kenyans. the eldest.
