is kind of industry oversight in industries, shipping industry institutions like the golden globes accountable. and that's what occurred here. and so we'll see how it moves forward and, and how the golden globes actually do. but i've been to this point in wired the industry to come in to correct these issues. ah, and now the top stories on al jazeera, the u. k. has reported the world's 1st known death from the on the con variant of coven 19 britain has launched a massive acceleration of its booster job program. with warnings of a tidal wave of war. mcthorn infections is coming. it's expect that to become london's dominant strain in the next 2 days. in the u. s. state of kentucky, at least 74 people, including a 5 month old baby have been confirmed dead from the weekend. tornadoes,

which tore through 6 states lane waste 2 entire towns. president joe biden has declared a major federal disaster as rescue workers continued to pick through the wreckage. they say they have little hope of finding any more survivors. and the number of those confirm that in kentucky alone is likely to rise by then plans to travel to kentucky on wednesday. he's also pledged to deliver aid the to tornado hit states as fast as possible. i want you to know that this ministrations made clear to every government, whatever they need when they need it. when you make it known to me, get it to rapidly, rapidly. that's what we're doing here. we have to go beyond what is available for you. as defense, department officials are expected to conclude that no american military personnel will face punishment for a drone strike,

which killed the pen african civilians. i review into the incident in august found that there was no misconduct or negligence, but breakdowns in communication. 7 children were among those killed in what was planned as a strike on an eyesore operative the associated press. news agency says the defense secretary will approve the findings. but the decision is yet to be formally announced. a you and back to report has found that colombian police were responsible for 11 death, said protests last year. the report focused on deaths in protests over several days following the death of a taxi driver at the hands of police, which was captured on video. there have been more than 40 civilian deaths at protests against the government of president, even okay. in the past 2 years. those are the top stories that witnesses next to more news from doha, in half an hour. if america held up a mirror to itself, what would it see in a sense, the race is the story of america?

what's working and what's not? a lot of people were only talking about that. it wasn't at the top of the agenda. if america can handle multiple challenges on multiple fronts, we need to go back to school. the bottom line when i was just there, i'm digital media pioneer. maria red is the founder of online, so i'd love to reinforce is fake news. it is whatever power doesn't like how the president of the philippines of rodrigo do today says he wants to kill as many people involved with drugs as possible. analysts, his critics, and that's public candidates grappler. i'm on my new site known to be critical. if the government had its license to revoke a few weeks ago, the end goal is to silence. when people don't know what is real and what is free, when facts don't matter, then voice with the loudest megaphone gains more power than i'm

facing 7 cases. some of which can put me to jail up to 15 years. now, rutledge book says a war of it. it makes you feel vulnerable, but i think that's the point, right. this is the time to fight. this is the time to tell people here. here's the rain and you have to make sure that our government doesn't for us it because when it does, we're no longer democracy. who i am a pretend millennial, but i'm turning 5555 years. oh wow. i've been a journalist for ah, more than 30 years. ah. alexa played best play list resuming spotify when our president rodrigo detector was elected the campaign

machinery that helped elect him, was weaponized and went after anyone who was critical of the drug war. and also journalists in particular were targeted. mm, this is a war for truce. and the biggest casualty in the war for truth is how many people have been killed in the truck war? i'm at the front lines. i feel it. i know it, i have the data to prove it. here's what happened in the philippines when facebook we came to toxic. i watch alexa ranking every day, which is a website ranking of older. where do people philipino school? and before it's alexa. oh, you have alexa. it doesn't replenish finding this information in the use of your data. and yet you have alexa, how can you plan for the future of what we can become if you don't try it?

part of the problem with own power right now is they don't understand new technology. and part of the problem with the people who build the new technology, they don't understand old power. that's what needs to merge. mm hm. facebook changed. ah. and in the philippines, it really is the internet for the journalists role as gatekeepers. that's dead in the ed. it comes down to the tech platforms. social media in particular, will determine what gets delivered to people. mm hm. in january 2018. the government of the philippines tried to shut raptor down. we're being investigated and then we're, we're facing legal cases,

one on ownership that could land me in prison for anywhere from 5 to 15 years. the court of appeals came out with a decision after midnight. they denied our appeal harassment. it is to distract us . it is to stop us from reporting. it's to intimidate us, so we don't so we don't challenge. i think the, the biggest waco call for the government was the day after they they tried to shut down rosler there was a global reaction to which i don't think they counted on that they also didn't count the raptor would fight wrapper was a dream in 2011, a group of friends, and i kind of thought that there's this new technology that is, that we can't completely try out inside traditional networks because everything

that made traditional media successful will go against what we wanted to do. i can i tweak what's your post. 1 1 let's do that story next semester bateman. glenda. yeah. we started with 12 people. 4 or 5 of us were about 40 at that point. um. and then we hired the smartest 20 somethings we could find is this a good luck with that with the mug? oh, what do you, how do i fix with? i think it's largely unfixable. i mean i've been trying to fix it for 40 is to lose . why don't i start because you're here from the london school of economics. i will

introduce you to palmer and symes done a lot of the groundbreaking work on looking at russian this information heater pomerantz. of welcome to manila. let me just figure out we're being manipulated there. disinformation and misinformation campaigns by both state actors and private interests. what do we do about it? there's a much deeper question. is that social media has kind of fueled a new type of what i might term papa. populism is much more emotional. and with an enemy very abstract one who is blocking your very private grievances, the stablish with the elite, foreigners, doesn't matter. so you eat, you actually wrote a lot about russian dis, information. how would you define, think about it from the point of view of a leader with author, it's harry and tendencies. so back in the 20th century, you could,

you could shut off your population with censorship, right? you could just block off tv channels. you can't do that anymore, right? so instead of trying to sense the things you spread as much cynicism as possible, you undermined the idea of trust. you say, yeah, maybe or media or some buffer the bbc, cnn wrap plan. they're all bought. i once you undermined the idea that there was any kind of truth out there, then all this kind of left his emotion? no. so only the most emotional and vickery emotional need a wins. it seemed like in the short term, only the tech giants have the ability to quickly fix certain things. if we start uniting, right, the forces of good know that someone can be tomorrow, it is truly our research. yeah. that pooling low tech me is that started, it started ya, and we need a little bit of maybe some resources to help with that. right. so we start acting so strategically. ah, facebook has admitted that the philippines is patient 0 in the war against this

information. 2016, the campaign machinery of now president detective used facebook and social media to win an election, but they didn't stop there. we began to see these vicious attacks on facebook against anyone who questioned the killings in the drug war. and in october, i wrote this 3 part series on the propaganda war. when we released it, i was attacked. the propaganda machine came after us with our bag and then it was immediate. you know, i've been called every animal you can think of. i've, my sexual life has been dissected, and at the beginning i faced it like a traditional journalist when you try to fight it, then you realize no, you can't. it's not built that way. you don't fight this by looking at content. you fight this by looking at networks and looking at algorithms. that's when i realized something news going on. and we began gathering data. we call it the shark

tank. but what it is is it's truly big. data created a database of social networks that spread this information that have been used and attack. so we have more than 350000000 comments more than 15000000 accounts. so it's a big dataset. it is probably the largest outside of facebook. the key thing here is to go back to the way the new tear to campaign ran. the social media campaigns is so organized that they have a content creator for the elite. then there's a content creator, a blogger for the middle class, and then the blogger for the mouse base is now the head of the social media for the presidential alan, looking at that database, you can pull out keywords, you can pull out attacks, and you can get to exactly how the attack began and the velocity sprint took the

shark tank, we connected it to a slack channel. if something is spreading beyond a certain frequency, it will send us all an alert. once we fact check it, we can send it to facebook and facebook with the press it in. ready in august of 2016, i gave facebook the data that we had. and i said, you really have to look at this because, you know, you have us elections coming up and this is so alarming that trump could win. and we all laughed. we laughed. and then one from one in november, they asked me for the data again in the french elections. that data helped pull down 30000 homes. this database, this big data is, is the story of how a robust democracy became a dictatorship. that's certainly where we seem to be headed so we can still fight it and we're using the data to that. ah,

the labor blue is the color who's going to grease or youth is legal processes are being used against us. that does have impact on the business because the minute an advertiser now signs a contract with rapper. there's a risk involved for them. so what we did is very quickly when we saw the trend and that, that advertisers were scared. we then came up with a whole slew of different products that we could offer. so, discovering the propaganda machine led us to our new business model. if you think about it, specific thing we're selling here locally. it is what we did building community for what we did for rapper is what we're, we're offering to do for them. but it is data that will dig through social media, narrative strategy and, and distribution strategy. but what i look at what cambridge analytic a did,

and how, you know, certain political parties use social media to understand and then, and then create messaging and then target. in essence, that's a lot of what this is. and i'm just wondering what interested. so i can talk and then carla can also talk. so for me because the cynical view is, or this is psychological manipulation using technology in finance or marketing indiana which is actually i remember what was wrong with cambridge analytical. it wasn't the psychological analysis. it was the way they got their data breach a breach of data. so, so you're the census. it's okay to influence your psychological outlook, but it's not okay to steal data. really we have world holding up of the companies don't know how to use social media. well, except to put ads in facebook and they're realizing that that's not

a good a see, think mom and dad, are we? yeah, we should. it's their anniversary. right? yeah. hi, mom. i was gonna send you the photo from florida and gotta see dr. talk to mom and dad, i'm going to show you that i have been having dinner. the kids are here in the notes here. i my guys love you. love me mom and dad by their lord and thank you for this meal. please put ahead south protection around all of us and those that we then those that we care for so that we can walk in your life. one is mine alone. anyone touch you see the case a. i

am not going to get emotional about you guys. do you guys worry about to to maria? i don't worry about i worry about you all. so i think you just tell me what you think i need to know, which is probably okay to what the end goal of all of this is to actually take up space. so the less space it takes up, the better. right? i guess for me, i think that was a lot of prayer to do after here. i really feel like maybe i can finish by when the case came and they were threatening to shut us down. we were like, we're not going to dock. that's like an old way. thanks. bye. hello. yeah,

i'm connect thing was connecting me. i, but me, we are looking for new products that rambler can build. right? obviously we're working on it, but we'd like to work with you because every person in this room has not just displayed great talent at what they do, but it's also committed in a different way. so that's our end goal. this is my really, it's, i mean, so i don't have kids re, i realized my, my longest relationship is with journalism. dice you, well again, i will send an e mail of all of the awards that you got there because they've been incredible. ah, it's been a good year even if it's been a bad, a difficult bargain to the year. okay. but i think the energy of the folks are one of the reasons we survive and we continue barreling through dish. nothing. it feels like when we act like a teen, nothing will get in our day who we can barrow through with. people are throwing

their lives into it. right? people such as me it's are, it's raptors. look at their faces off my cups. it makes me emotional. oh, and they believe so i but you know, going to with it anyways. actually the easy part of the rational ray is freely taking terence the t ah, with

you've got a look for hope in collaboration. it's hope in solidarity. i came to paris to join this commission, but it's an inaugural meeting of about 20 people who are working on this information in different parts of the world. hesitant mac crohn will meet with us and it's something that is it's really an initiative by the reporters. r s f reporter cents for 2 years. i think the technology platforms, the social media platforms, are forced to confront what they've created. what they've done now is allowed evil networks to take over and that has actually had an impact on democracies around the world. so it's going to be interesting

with us here to nice the scene. get a cam wife fi here. yes. okay. i will. i will set up because i'll try to live stream the event unwrap with a if if a l f f a 217. thank you. yes. was on his own that because when you got a little odd. mm. good deal dollar solution. i'm doing this with and it's for you with disease. you mentioned the ac when you do call guy. you know what's horrible with that. it would be contra lighting. you know, what did he go past? you see like to watch food activities if you got to, that's what i promise. it won't happen with any do by go over you. the civil

source is 3 parts mom and was more song or 2 on the more as horrible. i'll have many choices because he feels infamous from eagle, on the phone with. you don't get the money. that's perfect. so i'm on you to be the shadow business person. she received the nova with her eyes. she think that while she is one of the chairs of the school with ours. thank you with thought english for the small round table about situations as well as the fisher to her to with her us use of journalist and see all of the rather, you know, almost 97 percent of filipinos or on the internet or on facebook for wrapped blur of social media is both a positive and negative. it is both good and evil depending on how it's used. but

free speech is being used to stifle free speech. holt is used to pound you into silence and, and for all of our countries, how do we give free speech without the excesses of people who want to manipulate this new technology? the condition in the philippines is offering us a capsule into the future. oh we are things go really terrible. ah, this is anton from r s of sharon, a body to nobel prize, and zia or moscow. why can you manage the dual role? oh, thank you sir. i do think the french understand that if the facebook hadn't taken down to 30000 take accounts that from may not be present or they don't really think that that's from

back in spec. they don't really think that 2nd order, actually it's an interesting question. whether it is or is so, oh, that's interesting. so based on the actual behavior. yeah. turns out to be a very, very important study. you said you have to come to our country. how would you describe the journalism in turkey today? whiskey and dentures professional development, emerging coffee, people haven't a chance to like globally on it. so we need to find that global solutions to really believe this. let me do it. we have an hour when the president mccraney. i want to understand how one head of state, who's holding the line for it and the way he looks at it. and what he thinks is

even possible. i want to ask him, what can be done? what are other leaders in democracies talking about will be a li, manila manila. yeah. i had been in manila many, many years ago. oh please. if you ever come, i love to show you city. how long have you been in since 2009 and your family in the austin? i hope i know have to go into exile. yes, this i will say with

what did you think? what did you think that meeting i knew sufficiently cynical, but my normal expectation for a meeting with i head of state is that will be a problem. that essentially will be a performance for some political purpose. but it was a remarkable sounds like you were actually having conversation with somebody who actually has to influence a political relation. so we'll see what actually comes of it. it was an off the record discussion with him on that cron is one of the leaders that was targeted by these bad actors on social media. is he a leader with liberal values? does he stand for things that the geopolitical actors did not want? who is behind those 30000 fake accounts. that's interesting to me. he probably

knows he certainly didn't say anything about it. the constitution of the philippines gives me certain rights to protect my ability to do my job. all of that was stripped away by the social media platforms. there is absolutely no accountability for the platforms to spread lies exponentially. you should not allow it to spread. that's what i'm looking for, that it will be once upon a time, a family fled from one and so to silence in the snow it lacked. the sisters was so scared of being sent back that they disappeared within themselves. ah,

the little boy had a different who escaped some mas shit, made scrap. how will that story and witness wake up? what mom's an ouch, sir. this more than 12000 migrants, mostly haitians in the camp that sprung up in their real texas over the last 2 weeks. they won't assign us, authorities are overwhelmed. this is just the latest flash point in a months long serge of people illegally crossing the border. and there's little in the camp for them. you can see that things were told to try to stop pay and getting back into the country club. they went across to make sure to get through the site because there was enough food for them to be there in the car. we met nicholas on the mexican bank to the river, searching for food, a medicine for his family. he hadn't realized until we asked him about it. the us

authorities rules are now flying haitians back home. there is no president, crime as high students can't go to school. there is no work. the economy is down, people can't put up with them. deportation is not good for us stories of determination. enjoy a 1000 kito jane. if you have you make a listing v. i don't get a short documentary by african filmmakers from mommy, wanda, and camera desert library and the young site and happy africa direct on al jazeera. you want to help save the world, sneeze into your elbow. 2

for the 1st confirmed death from the micron variant is reported in the u. k, where it's rapid spread will make the dominant covered 19th strain in london within days. ah law, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up 74. people are confirmed dead in kentucky with more than a 100 missing where whole towns have been destroyed by the devastating tornadoes to the u. s. decides no actions to be taken against military personnel involved in a drought strike in afghanistan.
