pounds in commission. ah, there is no hope of ending more because there's always a small cobble of people for really, really good live in athens. we in the united states have privatized the ultimate public function war shadow on al jazeera. mm. oh. hello and hasn't speaker in the the headlines on edge zeta. the 1st civilian flight has left cobbles airport since the taliban took over afghanistan. the airport hadn't been running since the final us troops withdrew last week. has been carried out with the help of cutter and turkey. humanitarian aid from katara as arrived at cobble airport. the united nations is warning. afghanistan is on the verge of a food crisis. while the taller bond still trying to form a new government. the saudi led coalition fighting the who the rebels in yemen says

it has intercepted 3 missile attacks. they targeted the ma'am in the oil rich eastern region of saudi arabia, as well as geez, n, and natural close to the border with yemen in the south. syrian government forces, how shall these southern rebel held and claim of the ballad injuring civilians? it follows a 3 day sci fi, which saw the russian military patrol, the rebels stronghold. but people in that i say the government did not allow an aid and accused government forces of trying to take control of the area. iran, the president says his country is ready to revive talks on the 2015 nuclear deal, but not on the western pressure. talks have been poor since june france called for an immediate return to the negotiating table. no longer going to more hotman. i have said previously that we will definitely have negotiations in order of business, but not with the pressure that the other parties are pursuing. this pressure has failed before the americans in european to experience multiple times that these

negotiations along with pressure do not work. what we are pursuing in these talks is the lifting of the cool sanction of flooding and sudan has destroyed more than a 1000 homes in ages. eat a state south of cartoon. families have been forced when their homes and they're asking the government for food, clean water, and medication, flood waters of destroyed crops and roads of people they feel the stagnant water will be a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which spread diseases. thousands of protesters in montenegro have block roads in a bit to stop the inaugurating of a new head of the serbian orthodox church. demonstrate this class with police in the south western town of saturday, where the ceremony will take place on sunday. opponent see the church as a symbol of serbian influence over montenegro. 15 years after its independence. those are the headlines next on just 0. it's all hell the algorithm.

september. and did the right russians supposed in parliamentary election, imitates the president putin, 21 year grip on power. the listening post dissects the media, how they operate, the stories they cover. and the reason why the 911 attacks also the world 20 years on the war that followed had finally ended and i've gone to sun. but that's what caught, this didn't real, obviously, unique, attractive on ask and happy in history. through the eyes of the fearless and vision we to make a germany goes to the poles and elections of the angular merkel replace up to 15 years in power. what were the results mean for germany and european union? september on al jazeera around the world, a powerful entities are working to manipulate and influencing. you've heard about it trolls but fake news. there are algorithms that work behind each of these

algorithms that have been developed and designed to push specific cuts of content to us. content that says, click me with the mexico is probably not the 1st place that comes to mind when you think of online manipulation. sure, it's happening everywhere, but the countries we often hear most about the usa and russia. mexico, however, has been a testing ground, some of the most insidious online tactics we've seen, on least around the world. there's a blogger turned activist called alberto a school. here in mexico city who am on my way to meet now. oh, berta has been deeply involved in investigating political bought trolls,

an artificial trends in mexico since 2010. he's received significant flow back because of his work. death threats had forced him to leave the country 5 times. we important to me, he got to get my most, but his bus russo was sending vietnam into yet he asked him, which is why it's joe, look at those to them. we're going to and they must do me on the winters. derek, them in the facebook and instagram get can thought of the dollars of part of deals . i thought i thought of the money like social use for them and when they lose together. and then i'm which of the natal i'm would chain fluency, one of the most effective and powerful tools for those who want to push an agenda on line is developed. now,

books are essentially just pieces of software algorithms that run whatever tasks you set them. and a lot of the internet runs. however, they've also become synonymous with fake social media accounts. pushing political agendas will generating artificial likes shares or follow the date of these fully automated spam, but mostly all their actions were simply too obvious, making them easy to detect which meant they got purged and easy to buy uses, which they got ignored. so now literally armies of people are paid to act like books. they're also called trolls or dicks. so lando do not mean to me, look into mil performance because don't handle direct, i'm in to and this is a critical, so what's going on? this does music once luca roscoe's company at lee and chip del telephone, keep welcome. people can see and we'll see gentle squint as the twitter they offering you a dixie. and this is the number of accounts that you can buy or rent. in one word,

you can be able to pick a quantity of gums. dec saw the secret tools used by marketing agencies. publicity manages political parties and governance to base topics. and people on line ought to divert and distract from unfavorable attention. the advantage of having nice human box is that while they behave more human online, so the chances of them being eliminated or dismiss alone. however, alliterative bought activity, even if done by humans, has an admissible characteristic and doses invoice i. c, u the, what's kinda new to me off ticket rate is being is going to look at the commission . a commercial rate is comalla races, not what am i going to go to contest one contest? no, we're not going to go, but the most most, no, you're not going to handle assets and they don't put

a lot of what's going. i'm asked about sort of throws but a muscular intentional instead of continuous look way similar. it's just going to just that, i mean i can then on the form us whether either way, compact analysis or there's a good telephone movie and then there's a cap because to me and just to let us down. and though i meant to those was come with that i can sort of knew what the policy and deliver. no, but i because you're selling those rats from elections to big news events to political debate decks, pylon and dr. online chapel. and they're alarmingly successful in skewing conversations and warping narrative. a study by the oxford internet institute shows that between 20172018. the number of countries where organized social media manipulation occurs increased from 28 to 48. the biggest drivers of organized online manipulation around the world, political parties,

the realization many of them at the head is that instead of trying to sense the social media platforms, it's much more effective to simply flood them with bots. junk news and disinformation. samantha bradshaw was one of the researchers who worked on the report. advertisers have used these platforms to reach new audience as a new markets. but now we're seeing political parties learn that these platforms can also be used to way public opinion. and so instead of selling us these goods they're, they're selling us world leaders or political ideologies by using the advertising infrastructure and the algorithm to slowly start nudging perspectives and nudging opinions about politics. we're seeing the shift away from purely automated accounts to more human operators. we're finding actual real people for hire to work on political campaigns, to work with more repressive governments to target people on line with the kind of

each to ultimately suppress their participation in politics and in public discussion. and a lot of people don't necessarily participate in political discussions online anymore. i even find myself withdrawing a little bit from commenting on politics just because of the enormous reaction that you can get. and it's hard to know whether or not these are real people that genuinely have these views or whether they're just a paid troll, sitting far off country somewhere, just designed to make me feel this way and to make me withdraw from participating in these discussions online dickson the do say, well, because clicks had become the defective, the online world, with all become accustomed to the fact that the years, the algorithms behind facebook, twitter, instagram and the others have rewarded big, not the most common motions and more views. the rewards of growth and

the lack of regulation has meant that if you want to have an impact, click on what you need to go off the drive. the clicks isn't restricted to the government's political movements or marketing agency. they're in it to shake perceptions. many others renette for the money, but how do you make money on line engagement? the art and science of keeping people? it's what keeps the online money machine churning and so algorithm having programs to push content that gets high engagement algorithms don't necessarily determine the veracity of content. they're often more concerned with the reality of it. so if more people are engaging with a certain topic, the algorithms might say like, this might matter to you as well. that could be, you know, the new vendor as movie. it could be

a new viral video about that. but it could also be something of importance, such as, you know, a new breaking news story. and this is where we see bad actor trying to manipulate the popularity metric. and it's why we get this information stories spreading like wildfire. because if there are a bunch of fake accounts online, engaging with fake breaking news story, then that might get pushed into the news feeds of ill users. and then real people will start interacting and sharing these just information stories further and further. i'm on my way now to a cut lung in central mexico in august 2018 to men. ricardo and flores were beaten and burned to death because people thought that they would child snatches, warnings on facebook, twitter, and what's up had gone viral with the news that gangs of kidnappers had been

picking up children and selling the organ. the news wasn't true, but the stereo whipped up led to the most brutal form of mock pilot. yet more then let us get said robin, yes we vehicle give up. gives us lots of those that got us. it brought must go. us in control going out various ellis, so the local facebook, you know, speaking yes, come on the earth and wireless. a. if federal motor, saturday we will be here. this isn't like me that it went this. i say the thing is they are going to get put into the month of the get. i would also spit your so they could get a bit of an extra 9. you can use wireless. what specialists are, morgan, you want your singles mccune and consent and he can the

on the day of the attack 22 year old ricardo, when he 43 year old uncle burger were traveling together, they made a pit stop to buy a drink. it happened to be near school and with suspicion of child kidnapping rice in the area. they became fatal targets to a mob galvanized by online rooms. i met with rosario rodriguez ricardo's mother and sister in law. jealous, i am in the far right. well, apple because you want to get a persona guess it was $5.00 a but no luck on their work. but i mean on the same as well as you know up and say get me hold of what i'm michael saturday. make one. yeah. for the nicholas woke up and say, what was going to perform? he said, it's not a battle for

5. good morning, gussy honest for false s. c honest handling, offensive bio or 2nd noise. possibly even more shocking than the impact of this fake news is the motivation for it. often ideology only plays a small part in a scam that's really all about money. the money we're talking isn't small change in mexico, a website can around a $1000.00 us dollars for every 1000000 page views. every time a person lands on a page, the advertising algorithm kicks in and the website start creating a website isn't difficult. and most times a single group of administrators will have several on the go at one generating around $2.00 to $5000.00 a month. it doesn't matter if the content is real or not, as long as read is flocked to the site. then making a book, how do you get people to your website?

well, that's where the facebook comes in. with the 2000000000 users. it's one of the most powerful distribution tools for sharing content. yes into you can go look at it. but she did it that element that look at fanatic news gets put in sharon wilson. ellen venture me into that. are my slicks, mr. gusto. you said that i'm the middle goodness. if you could, let me, let me look into speaking of the facebook. get a person in the list on campus, but it's over at the local mental channels. and if you don't put up a little more of the custodians, i'm going to send the employer. it's a conventional problem, but guess what i meant to attend mental simpler. i mean a little more to st. dental's and then. but if i don't ask if you can see that kind of thinking yes. but at least, but i can in the way in which social media platforms distribute all kinds of

fake news or disinformation of our politics or conspiracy theories about politics or any, any other aspects of life. it's really, really important because most people today use these platform to find news and information and is up in a trusted source of news and information, not as much as traditional tv or mainstream media. but it's trusted in the sense that it's our friends and our family who are sharing this content. and we tend to trust information that comes from people who are like minded. there's all kinds of research from the field of psychology that talks about confirmation bias. and that's why facebook can be such a powerful platform for spreading falsehoods about politics, because we do inherently trust this information a little bit more than, than other kinds of information. getting facebook on the record isn't easy. the company is battling a lot of justifiably bad press. around the world,

but louis de reality strategic manager knew that facebook, mexico did agree to meet him of the star, was handling the feel as important the spectacle. and then they run the thoughts daniel suddenly politic. that is the people that will send the form up. okay. so on, so i will, so some dental and the form i can look at and then i it comes to them. we don't really see the same, they will that, that, that okay. most of the, those i was suppose to set that up that i went aside for government job in a combat then contacts de la quinta file for the facebook. last the my last i thought it was scandal. simply a to get in to stem until from the start response, somebody that s what level a data company open of what a lot all i samples campbell's, my society use him and we're starting to sort of norma can when he died. yes, mr. thing little here, yet probably a little bit more,

but out of the current status is, luis is facebook. if it's a pain, he gave us lots of numbers, millions of take accounts taken down and thousands of millions of span cleaned up the site by artificial intelligence algorithm sweeping the platform. but training algorithms to recognize misinformation is incredibly complicated. no algorithm can easily determine what's true or false. after all, there are cases where even humans don't agree. so in an effort to curb the spread of misinformation, the company has begun to collaborate with external fact checkers from, you know, sort of the normal project most and program other than if you've got all the steps or, you know, one experiment if you got, if you could maybe consider another gusio, k, a u, another data point, the needle, dental and appropriate, but the one of my facebook, an item may be flagged junior news feed if it has been disputed by an independent 3rd party fact checker outside of facebook. yes, sir, you'll see that company or file so it will not seem for much less,

most more receival of us going to companies will pay you look at the telecom will file support listed and he goes for plays like that that he can see if you see nothing can whisper get a thick continuity shipment. they take that for supple yellows in for him for a report. this little purpose was why? yes, when use if that if they report a battle, stick it in your company was 5. so whole i see. and now she's in a school mentality and he's going to come in that is that the families get him to get a few out. a say the company will instances say last families receive a loss. i lost track checkers. not most of the responses that we've seen from the platforms thus far have gone to tweaking their algorithms to help downgrades and certain kinds of this information from being shared online. we're

seeing companies like facebook or google work, with fact checkers or invest in media literacy program, so that citizens can be a little bit more educated about how to find and challenge information that they find and discover online. i don't think a lot of the changes have really addressed the heart of that issue in the real nuts and bolts of wire. disinformation goes viral in the 1st place, going back to their business models and going back to the algorithms and the way that they still incentivize certain kinds of content to go viral and host others. there is real systemic challenges in the way that these platforms are government and operate operated. and there hasn't been enough attention or rethinking about how these bigger structures actually are contributing to the problem. facebook says avoiding misuse of its services is

a big priority. i contacted twitter in mexico as well and they said the same thing . but for someone who is not just seen, the misinformation was online, but actually for them, these efforts by the social media platforms, a little more than window, dressing for my assistant lesson this weekend is turning to the content in, in the jump. but it's, you know, the last, the last meadows you're going to consume the sellers. but like i say, we'll look at what other initiative and already in low, medium yes, we important the leprosy on the left hand. but so let's come all your to do this for most. come with a perfect separate us, your number, but it's a book and because i mean the wisdom which wrestles general killer cetera, which i put in a letter for you to put us young with billions of pieces of content being

uploaded to the internet every single day. it's no surprise that tackling online manipulation. such a challenge. digital detection is now a global game. so no matter how many of the tweaks to the algorithm that might happen, nothing's going to actually change until i click a scene is more than just influenced and revenue generated in an internet environment where engagement and clicks and by reality is what drives the spread of content, i don't think it's fair to cut users off the hook in this problem because democracy is something that's hard work. it's something that we as citizens have to work towards and invest time and to find accurate information. it's not something that's easy. you know, the real power in the internet is that it can bring us together and we, we've seen not time and time again. so going back to that more optimistic view of what the internet can and could be for democratic society and political

participation. and i think it's something we need to remind ourselves of and work towards as individuals. so as i was going to go home today and thinking about some of these big questions around social media and democracy and what it means to be not only a user of technology but could, isn't in our digital public sphere at the 1st thing i would do is request all of the data about me from the big social media platforms from facebook, from twitter, from google. it's really important that we have an insight into actually how vast this data collection system is and how to ensure kids and how detailed this kind of information can actually be about us. and i think that's one of the 1st real eyeopening things that users are shocked by. the fact that these platforms might

have conversations of your private messages, the fact that they might have even access the phone number is on your phone. if you installed the facebook. these are, these are really big questions and underlying all of these big questions around social media, democracy is our, our right to privacy and what that actually means in the digital age. i'm in the deep skin. okay. with that, he says he is good. and so, but also you can say most but with animals, the local to the me and console by that no sort of but a p c basic basically we endless. they continue to move fast. this move the kid the needle. good thing on that car. lisa, there must be kathy kathy, them when that a proceed, what brought us to get a 100 level that really see both those? maybe you'll get to know scott,

maybe the seals and the company that they stand on the some of these ladies tell us whether they this claim which us packing of money feels f k. then they will never late, but either they will not be the same. you come in, i will not go see, but he cut the enemy. so he took a look at them in the level that not a mika or say, listen for the most on their credit or this have been teaching committee, what's going on. but around on a separate of best and rest sellers and then send them which will come worked well and they use the 3rd most of the year. just concert halls. don't the principal as well, no matter what, what it's going to let them but you know, again, go now potentially important. it can come in circles mentioned most of us, but guess yes. and let's go to

a similar proposal of what to look at. so let's go to the liquid without internet. it's not something that's going to extend us. the muscle got even more much volts for the most drone is going to maintain it from the look up by the electromagnetic . i can look my phone with my face. you can access your bank accounts with your voice unique algorithmic measurements of us that are revolutionizing the process of identification. biometrics, a fall from 1st big convenience and seeming infallibility, comes across. most crucially, our privacy from the 4th of a 5 part series at a re addresses the appropriation of our most personal characteristics. all hail the algorithm on jazz. ah,

ah ah, ah, hello gets a few away. we go with your headlines for the americas. we may have something cooking up in the bay of can pet, she just seen the rotation there is to do check back with us on this 1. 1 thing for sure we do have is hurricane larry. so this one's expect it to intensify to a category for through the weekend, mostly out toward the central atlantic oceans and not posing a major threat. but we will see if it moves toward bermuda in the days to come. got her tropical moisture fallen across the top end of south america. heavy falls for coastal sections of columbia through the northwest. the venezuela impacting the

venezuelan andes. on monday for their toward the south, temperatures have fallen, but the weather pushing out toward the south atlantic. porto lay great could just still see a few spits of rain, but the temperature at 22 degrees away we go to the western us, the desert, south, west star temperature at 40 degrees in vegas. so cow, los angeles, at $33.00 and monsoon boy stir for arizona into new mexico on sunday for western canada. what through coastal areas through the fraser valley trying to see if it will squeak over on the other side of the rockies and unsettled for the great lake straight toward the ne. a tron has got a hive. 25 degrees on sunday. that's it for me. bye. for now, the news this isn't my story. it's the story of my friend jesus. she told us that she didn't want to be here. she didn't want to live anymore. was too hard. a survivor

dedicates her life to educating and saving others from suicide. we're the ones that are dying, where the ones that are losing our friends, and therefore we have to be the ones that will stand up and solve it because no one else is going to. where there is hope, a witness documentary on a just, you know, the the 1st batch of international aid arrives in afghanistan. the cobble airport reopened for commercial flights. on the brink of collapse, afghanistan's health care system is under stress from a severe cache crunch. ah, well i haven't think of this is just live from the whole. so coming up, assessing the damage from harkin i'd as a loss of life and property,

puts the spotlight on housing and infrastructure in the us.
