i bring to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcomed u.s. president donald trump says the united states is preparing to send at least $1000.00 more troops to poland but he's also cautioning not all of the details have been finalized the president made the remarks while meeting his polish counterpart today in the white house trump said the additional troops could be moved to poland from fellow nato member germany he declined to say if they would be permanently stationed there warsaw has backed a move like this amid fears of growing aggression from russia. all right for more now i'm joined by our washington bureau chief alexander phenomenons she is at the white house and she was at that press conference between the 2 presidents good evening to you alexandra so russia has warned the u.s.
10:03 pm
not to place more troops in poland but that's exactly what president trump is planning to do why is washington defying this morning. there's a couple of reasons for that 1st of all we have to say that poland has been very persistent pressing the u.s. to increase its billet terry present in this presence in this country for quite a while poland is seen here as a very good ally one of a few european countries that is very happy to see donald trump in the white house that is very satisfied with his approach to allies with his foreign policy poland has also decided to buy american made military hardware that is something that still likes very much but we also have to say that the u.s. has already been leading nato the telly and in eastern poland pardo for the force deployed to russia's annexation of crimea in 2014 so increasing the you
10:04 pm
asked military presence in eastern europe is part of or consistent with nato a strategy there with nato attempts to deter russia from potential aggressive behavior in eastern europe and always ended today when both of the presidents we're talking to reporters were germany combing repeatedly what exactly did the us president say. well you know brant we have to say that president uses such occasions very often to criticize germany today again he criticized germany for not spending enough on or more on defense and he held colons as a example for a country that is spending 2 percent of its did. on defense he also criticized germany for relying too much on natural gas from russia and again he praised poland
10:05 pm
for buying. a liquefied natural gas so then when he continued to talk about. troops in poland and sending them over possibly from germany you could interpret this as a sort of punishment for germany. very good point and let's talk about numbers here we heard today a 1000 u.s. troops could be sent to poland that is smaller than what poland had been hoping for but do you think this is the beginning of something that will be bigger. well i wouldn't go so far as saying that this is a beginning of something bigger military experts here say that it might be too much from russia's perspective or too many troops from russia's perspectives but to be a real difference it's still not enough to just send $1000.00 additional troops to
10:06 pm
poland to strengthen nature's eastern flank there always our washington bureau chief alexander phenomenon on the story for us tonight of the white house in washington alexandra thank you. well now to our 2nd big story of the day and that is in hong kong this city rocked again by the most serious political violence since control of the territory was handed back to china more than 20 years ago for a 2nd day this week police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse tens of thousands of protesters who blocked key roads and who had stormed parliament the demonstrators oppose a government plan to allow extraditions to china legislate tours have now postponed a debate on the wall. from peaceful protest to violent clashes umbrellas became shields and weapons as demonstrators tried to fend off rubber bullets and tear gas fired by the police. tens of thousands of people came out to rally again today in protest against hong kong's controversial extradition bill
10:07 pm
a quiet march until tempers flare. like they're dressed mostly in black their faces covered with surgical masks and wearing improvised body armor from the get go today's crowds seemed ready for a different kind of protest than the largely peaceful mass demonstrations on sunday i was actually is we. on the protest story we do like 4 things differently i believe that's the only way that you feel like i have a feeling thank you they are worried about a proposed law that would mean hong kong could send people to mainland china to face trial. critics warned that would allow beijing to target political opponents in hong kong which retained its own justice system after being returned to china from british rule in 1997 conference chief executive has vowed to push forward with
10:08 pm
the legislation in an interview she condemned the violence. to the protests this now. in front of the legislative council again i make this any this will not be tolerated by all enforcement authorities because tolerance off violence also gives rise to very adverse consequences she also admitted the government had failed to communicate we have not done enough in engaging young people from different backgrounds and different sectors and. this incident we suddenly want to bet. the protests forced the legislative council to postpone debate on the proposed bill but with the legislature dominated by beijing loyalists few protesters expect the law to fail the vote now scheduled for june 20th honestly i'm not so. i'm quite disappointed and i don't think. they will listen to people. they will still go
10:09 pm
ahead but i think there were people. the protesters may have delayed the vote but their struggle to preserve hong kong's autonomy has only just begun. and our correspondent is in hong kong earlier we asked him what with this 2nd reading of this extradition bill now being poised poll does this mean that the protesters have won. the protesters might have won it little battle. but they have not won this thing because the government is not ready to scrap this bill they are not planning to do so they have and they are determined to push this through the have said this several times and we see no signs and we have also today seen no signs from mrs lamb that she would reconsider these. was monday of berlin you're reporting from hong kong here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the world health organization will hold an

10:11 pm
restaurants have begun reopening in the sudanese capital khartoum demonstrators have called off a nationwide campaign of civil disobedience and agreed to new talks with the country's military rulers. khartoum is up and running again many shops are open traffic is flowing after 3 days the general strike is over. the opposition have cleared the way for new negotiations with the military a reason for hope. we are now very very optimistic that they will resume negotiations reach an agreement and every day life will resume. but the shock of last week's massacre in which more than 120 people died still lingus militias had brutally disbanded the protest camp in the center of khartoum. this was followed by raids as well as arrests of opposition politicians and
10:12 pm
activists international pressure on the military to return to the negotiation table has mounted yesterday the military junta signaled its concession to the ethiopian mediator. the 2 sides also agreed to refrain from inflammatory statements and discuss tensions. will transition out of military council as agreed to take confidence building measures including that of these political leaders. a power struggle between hardliners and moderate forces is now emerging in the security apparatus civilian transitional government or military dictatorship the fate of saddam could be decided in the coming days. i believe in moscow have detained hundreds of protesters at a rally in support of the investigative journalist yvonne go north this comes a day after prosecutors dropped drug dealing charges against him for lack of evidence mr gold supporters say that he was framed.
10:13 pm
opposition activists and journalists being carted off by police. any hope that the release of journalist even called enough signaled a softening of the kremlin stance on free speech dashed. russian opposition leader alex was among those detained at the rally against corruption in law enforcement. what did you think of it as a regional to buy news limited as cool as it's fantastic that they've released going to know if. it is just a drop in the ocean and now is the cult of the we want all of those still in jail to know that we haven't forgotten. who loves you when he was nice i can't just sit around and do nothing as if they would date or marry you just not just. this your purchase coverage this isn't over because we want to see the people who set up this case brought to justice yes that goes it would be
10:14 pm
a joke if all they did was dismiss them from their jobs coming at them within the city of. justice an authorized protest was originally planned to demand gold enough be freed but after the charges against him were dropped on tuesday the demonstration was repurposed to call for police reforms and accountability. of himself had encouraged people not to take part following his release. of their 1st official trip i think it's better to spend time with loved ones for for some direct support rather than to attend the march that's just my opinion where you will see from. the cold enough knew the risks such rallies can bring in moscow those arrested for taking part could now face sentences of up to 20 days in jail. we need to have news correspondent and we sure when has more now from moscow. after the van gogh noffs released russia's civil society seemed to heave
10:15 pm
a sigh of relief it seemed to be a signal of liberalization here and russia the russian parliament said that they would review drug laws that led to go in office arrest and several high ranking politicians criticized the case the signal that we're seeing here today at the protests is rather a different one after protesters gathered here they walked along moscow's boulevards they were blocked at all avenues by the police who had gathered in huge quantities and now we're seeing arrests left and right it seems that the liberalization of yesterday that signal has really changed and this is a signal to russia civil society that they have to toe the line. isn't really sure when reporting in moscow where the former british foreign minister boris johnson has kicked off his campaign to take over from the outgoing prime minister to resign may the former mayor of london is
10:16 pm
a colorful character and brags that hardliner johnson says he will lead the u.k. out of the european union. the front runner has come to the fore boris johnson has promised to see through pranks it by the end of october which after the cost at least that was his pledge to tory voters. if i get in will come out a deal my deal. with i mean come back to the guess. is the same promise he's made to right wing members of the conservative party who joined him to kickstart the campaign. he gave me his word to my face that if he became prime minister we would leave only 31st of october dream that please advocates of a new deal banks it may have to dream on indeed boris johnson moved away from his previous comments on the matter no longer supporting such a scenario. it's only if we have the guts and the courage to get ready for it
10:17 pm
that we will carry any conviction in brussels and get the deal we need because they don't want no deal anymore. the policy closer to the out of to reason may and one that confuse journalists in attendance thank you very much you're telling some supporters you'll do everything to avoid leaving the e.u. without a deal and others that you gladly would do that can the country trust you parse johnson was not prepared to answer. our all new video of the world's most powerful men we're not talking about boris johnson causing quite a stir because they force us to ask are we seeing what we think we are seeing on the cleaver is here now to tell us what are we seeing what we think we're seeing i don't think we are we're talking now about fake news when he's already walking among us already making us doubt facts facebook has been under fire for a long time for failing to rapidly or sometimes that's all removed stuff from
10:18 pm
people's feeds when it's lies or hatred or racism now facebook supremum soca back to back has been targeted a couple of artists working with an ad agency has created this let's have a look. imagine this for a 2nd one man with total control of billions of people stolen data all their secrets their lives their futures i owe it all to specter specter showed me that whoever controls the data controls the future. maybe he's speaking the truth there but is that actually mark zuckerberg that we're seeing no it's not this is a deep fake this is a new kind of video that is being created by artificial intelligence programs that are being used to create new videos this is not a manipulated video this is not edited one is not speeded up it's not slowed down
10:19 pm
this is deep learning programs that are watching video actual videos pictures of people and being able to create completely new things to say whatever the creators want them to say you need to have a voiceover but then you get something completely new. it's dangerous because it's getting really good right and it's getting easy to do it's cheap people can do it in their dreams and with as with many kind of new technology and computer based stuff it was initially used to create poor graffiti it was used to to to put the faces of famous actresses on to the bodies of pornography actresses now it is even getting to politics let's have a look at our other video which is another powerful man let me tell you a secret you ever wonder why i'm so. because of my big brain maybe but seriously it's all about do things ok algorithms and data i pulled off the
10:20 pm
biggest race of the century people just have no idea or the voice is really good. by we're not believe that. it's pretty i mean the voice isn't brilliant but you get a look right and this is the danger that you could have if you could program this computer of. this deep intelligent deep intelligence computer program to have trump saying i'm declaring war on iran yeah that's what people are frightened of i. think that's not so likely but you could easily program this this to to have trump saying something that would then kind of create the domino effect to something that she really have something happen in the real world. the other thing is that you could end up with almost anybody saying anything this can show up in your social media feed how do you know and that then has the knock on effect of well how do you know
10:21 pm
what is real anyway. and if you don't know what's real and was what effect is how do you make decisions how do you decide who to vote for where to get your child vaccinated and the software is getting better and better all the time and it's getting harder and harder to discern between the real and the so what can be done what can we do right now about this at the moment not very much. there are 3 ways to approach it you can ask the audience so people who are seeing this stuff expect them and ask them to become more discerning to check where the stuff is coming from is it just popped up on the social media feed or is it also in the mainstream media you can also ask policy makers to ban it or to restrict it older hard to do very difficult and american politicians have already asked tech companies to come up with solutions to identify this stuff but none of this is really going to attack it probably will be very careful as we said earlier maybe we should just try using
10:22 pm
some common sense now and then when we're reading or social media you know that would be refreshing i think lever as always thank you or here's how you can get a taste of 1st class flying without ever leaving the ground for years new york's landmark t.w.a. flight center stood in neglected the 1960 s. architectural masterpiece was threatened with demolition now the building has been given a new lease on life offering the last word in luxury take a look. going back in time has never been so easy all you need to do is check into the newly opened t.w.a. hotel to feel what flying was like in the golden days of commercial. here the 1960 s. soundtrack behind us we're still working on a lot of the little details so that when you walk into the building you feel like you entered 1962 but the immersive experience comes at its price.
