10:19 pm
under the ultimate empire, that land belonged to a jewish indictment that had to put it at the service of to help out gemini jews who were in corporate. so it is an extremely complicated case, really to understand, but this is exactly what happened. not only for the families today today that concerned with this year, but it by, by and large, many families in occupied east jerusalem and actually in other parts of israel. so certainly what will happen eventually what the judge will decide whether it's in a few days, weeks or months, will set the tone for many other families about what we have been searing. seeing actually over the past month, whether it's here, a hearing for some one or a previous hearing, a few months ago. push genera is it see the record is being hesitant of coming up with a final decision simply because of the charge atmosphere in jerusalem. and because
10:20 pm
of the political aspect of this case, and because tensions are so high that they can flare up at any time. egypt president foster how cc has lifted the country state of emergency. he made the announcement in a facebook post. egypt 1st imposed the state of emergency in 1980, most recently and 2017 following deadly church bombings and attacks on cotton christians. the kill with more than a 100 people. the measures allow for rest without warrant the swift prosecution of suspects. and the establishment of special courts a former facebook employee turned whistleblower has been giving evidence to you. k politicians. francis hogan says the tech giant has knowingly fad online hate and violence to maximize profits. her appearance could affect new rules for social networks. here in the u. k, where we challenge reports, france is how god says she never wanted to be a whistle blower. thought since leaving facebook with tens of thousands of internal
10:21 pm
documents earlier this year, her alarm call is being heard around the world. october, the 5th us congress walked over the 25th, the u. k. parliament, a message that is deeply critical of the way facebook is run. mark soccer berg is a, has unilateral control over 3000000000 people. right? there is no will at the top to make sure the systems are run adequately same way. the systems, francis, how going is most concerned about the algorithms promoting content uses of the social media giants. i think lots of research that says that kind of ranking engagement based ranking prioritizes polarizing extreme divisive content. it doesn't matter if you're on the left or on the right. it pushes you to the extremes, and it fans, he right anger and he is the easiest way to grow on facebook. she says it's a system that's being abused. there's something called morality hacking, where you figure out all the tricks on how to optimize facebook and good actors.
10:22 pm
good publishers are already publishing all the content they can, they can do. but bad actors have an incentive to play the algorithm. facebook executives know this, says francis, how can, but the reason they haven't changed the algorithm is money. they think user engagement would decline and with its ad revenues, i think there is a view inside the company that safety is a cost, a cost center. it's not a hunter, which i think it's very short term thinking. us congress and regulators are investigating facebook. part of the deadly storming of the u. s. capital, an independent report commissioned by facebook, said it failed to stop the platform being used to incite ethnic violence in me and mar. so miss how can believes as a real world cost in lives. i have no doubt the traps like the events for scene around the world. things like me on martin if you'll be us. those are the opening chapters because engagement based drinking does 2 things. one, a prior prior present you will size divisive polarizing extreme cotton into its
10:23 pm
hyper, concentrated in, you know, 5 percent operation. and you only need 3 percent of the population streets average . facebook says much of the reporting is based on a false premise. yes, we're a business and we make profit, they say. but the idea that we do so at the expense of people safety or well being misunderstands where our own commercial interests lie. the truth is we've invested $13000000000.00 and have over $40000.00 people to do one job. keep people safe on facebook. but with a consortium of news organizations going over the thousands of pages of lead internal memos. facebook's crisis isn't over yet. rory challenz, how to 0. nigeria has launched a digital currency just months after banning financial institutions from dealing in crypto currencies. it's called e niagara and will operate like a wallet where customers can hold existing funds in their bank account. central bank governor godwin. m ophelia says he wants to make the digital currency
10:24 pm

10:25 pm
there are concerns about how these this will work. already we understand the thousands of applications or thousands of downloads have been met by individuals eager to see how this works. but again, there are security concerns in a country where financial fraud is still a major concern in nigeria. now also worries about accessibility. the government wants to make sure that at least 10 percent of the current bank holdings are transferred into these e commerce or a wallet, as they call it the ira. now, will the traditional banks agree to that? that just very interesting proposal. people are watching closely to see how these banks will react to this. a target for rich countries to provide poor nations with a $100000000000.00 to tackle global warming is said to be missed. that's according to canadian and german officials. the team assembled to break a deadlock in negotiations ahead of the u. n. climate talks in glasgow say the goal
