this is g w news live from ballot dozens are dead many more critically injured in a stampede at a jewish religious gathering in israel bad things are full of the disaster is on chaos. to be held legally since israel left its corner virus restrictions also coming up to. brazil become the 2nd country to officially calls 400002 close it 19 deaths experts warn the daily death toll could remain high for months as

a country has to look into hospitals all of her eating at near capacity but some areas have lucifer's. and as nato troops drawdown its troops in afghanistan germany's foreign minister flies to kabul with a message of support with many germans to question whether the 20 year conflict cheap and i think that's why. i'm here mohamed thanks for joining us israeli media reporting nearly 40 people have been killed and over 100 others injured in a stampede at a religious festival that happened at mount meron in the northern part of the country where ultra-orthodox jews had come together for an all nights prayer and dance celebration. this footage. from social media shows

the scene shortly before tragedy struck a densely packed crowd dancing ecstatically at the annual loch homer celebration. authorities believe overcrowding is likely to blame for the fatalities and injuries . that rescue workers say many of the dead were either trampled to death or suffocated. just. for the worst the terrible disaster of. celebrating there are sure of. her. it was the 1st large scale religious gathering to be held legally since israel lifted most coronavirus restrictions. but despite israel's successful handling of the pandemic health authorities had warned against holding a gathering of this size. to lag religious festival is particularly popular with

israel's ultra orthodox community. israeli police report nearly 100000 people attended the gathering which they say is 4 to 5 times as many as should have been in a location like this. now brazil is the 2nd country after the united states to pos 400000 the coronavirus deaths the country has struggled to see to secure enough vaccines for its population many hospitals are operating at the brink of capacity but in the last 2 weeks delhi death toll has declined prompting some areas to do some stretching. the streets so once again filling up in sao paulo and other cities off to 4 weeks of local restrictions that have seen the number of new infections full slightly but the statistics are devastating. april has been the deadliest month in brazil to date many experts say insufficient lock down

restrictions make the country a breeding ground for virus mutations that then spread to other countries the p one variant that 1st emerged in january in a city of menow says has triggered an explosion of infections and deaths with hospitals often running out of beds and oxygen the poor are being disproportionately affected around 12000000 brazilians live in 5 ella's in extremely crowded conditions malnutrition is also a problem especially as government aid has been cut and unemployment has risen during the pandemic noel told you. all the data shows that the poorer you are the higher the rate of infection. the death rate from corona virus is much higher amongst people who are on the margins of society.

president also narrow argues that lockdowns increase economic hardship but critics say brazil is paying a high price for his radical stance this week the senate opened an inquiry into bills in our is handling of the pandemic so the president has resolutely ignored all scientific advice he long played down the virus and encourage the use of medications that doctors say are worthless with his poll ratings taking a hit but also narrow is now making more of an effort to procure vaccines from abroad but in a country of well over $200000000.00 it would take many months to vaccinate even the most vulnerable of the current rate. in the meantime without any nationwide restrictions thousands are continuing to die in brazil every day. well for more on this joining me from sao paolo is journalist sam

cowie and so joining us sam what's the reaction to the restrictions being loosened as we see another bleak figure in brazil but i mean it's hard to say you really quite frankly because they were never really any restrictions in the 1st place so. yeah like the associations are happy now that they you know go on their shops again for example. you know but and you know church. evangelical make a church is there that they will sadly have to close for a while woodstock but i mean this is the sea you go to the. periphery of sao paolo and i love being in sentences and there are no lockdown measures in place and you know many people don't even wear masks so i was in the you know a lower income neighborhood on the outskirts of sao paolo just last friday with one street where 5 people had died in the same week and on the same street many people

were wearing mosque access to information it's difficult notes of people of color and victim to fake news but also is that when you have a president that says you know it's 'd just a little flu. you know you know i used to be an athlete it wouldn't affect me but i took was that resonates with lots of people who work in the improvement of course i mean i have to put food on the table each day so all round really is the perfect storm. of disaster and you know some people. some you know there was an ex health ministry employee just this tuesday saying the worst is still yet to come because of wind so it's a very bleak picture here in d. . and what impact will the parliamentary inquiry into boston are as the response have on his leadership. it's difficult to say. it's thought that the health minister probably you know take the brunt or most all the blame mr bolton all rose still has significant it's been

doing but he still has significant support on the streets and the home where it's so i mean a few heads are expected to roll. what it will probably come down to will be horse trading. with the senate says we you know i had all the actions dangerous year we were going to want you know from the federal government to needs to you know finance infrastructure projects and except for a in their own constituencies before the elections next year so yeah it probably will be a kind of slow bleed kind of situation for the president but it's very tough to say at this stage whether it will lead to any or any you know highly unlikely any criminal proceedings but yet probably his popularity will take. the hits all right that is john the sound speaking toughs from sao paolo thank you

so much sam thank you now here are some more developments in the pandemic turkey strictest lockdown yet has come into force it's the 1st nationwide lockdown and will remain in place until at least mid may the u.k. will temporarily would use its international aid to the economic impact of the pandemic london will cut to such a device 30 percent and thailand is imposing a 14 day quarantine rule for people arriving from abroad isolation periods were recently relaxed to help revive the country's tourism industry. and turning to india now where people in the state of west bengal are going to the polls despite a devastating in the corona virus infections the country is gearing up to open its vaccine campaign to all adults starting on saturday but it will be weeks before the immunization drive has any hope of easing the situation in the nation's hospitals.

extent that he says from the meaty that this feeling of. a nice suit says. that i should develop that with us from kenya because that doesn't include the t.v. reception but you'll do this you're doing. this you know you have the less you know the buildings immediately seek their hands on a classroom with a new. king and i think you know push it. ok that makes the most of them. are like ok it's always been a good habit to pass unique guilders doesn't diminish the stock detail you could sample some of the parts to make. this quick to children who piss in the straw management body and they didn't you know that they got to the gallon directing didn't effects of music and cancer took us to send people over to get. a posting here is not enough.

thank. you. thank you. but. insistently. oh she can i'm 42 i have 2 children teenagers you saw and you just stopped working for 12 years to raise my children the moment he shot now my husband and i are separated from the. boy going back to work after a 12 year hiatus isn't easy superphosphate. sister said chris thought evasion one day while searching on the net i came across a science called lion bridge. in bridge and he pulled the 200 day off of various translation jobs get more they also worked with google doing micro working working that's how i got started from so 3 and

a half years ago both of it was on me. and i'm pretty far on the show. little that is fun but probably didn't go. no reconnect you know the rest i connected by a g.-man address created for this charter over in europe. then i go to a specific website where jobs are posted specifically only to shoot jobs involve

things like comparing a real person search on a website with a key word. in your surname your ear we have to join mastodon must of visual art of drano you know but article. on windows of waspishly and i'm asked if they mean the same thing and saw the google searches and. so i say yes yes and they do mean a same thing in order to use another similar certain shows a painting without drilling a shadow hanging paintings without drilling has been used by of course say they mean the same thing. so i'm helping the algorithm to improve it for you to. send in your way. out of. proportion to the race with a lot of these tasks so i think almost anyone can do it i'm in control most of all to knock down it has nothing and more. after 3 and

a half years and it becomes automatic and you start interested in a sort of it's a turn. for the. working and doing the same thing for a couple of hours at a time it becomes rather robust here which is the. sea and. it's like you become a robot muslims who abuse. me but i don't really have a contract. i can stop working at any time without notice sonnet which i would never do the motions and they can fire me whenever they want without notice. continues with some kids there's no official contract but. in general when is i never met the people i work for to see if it's all down i have

the internet to handle it i've never even spoken to anyone in 3 and a half years worth going. to have it. and over again i wish to remain anonymous because google in what is a semblance of a contract refuses to let us talk about this work. in fact i'm not allowed to talk about us all to speak out in public or even work in public places or what have a noise on what no one can see what we did and await them or just go for it. i.

think. some of whom in my name is no maina is all i'm certainly 2 years old i'm married and i have 3 children who are 12 almost 5 and almost 3 years old. daughter was all. i. knew tough a suppressive a new platform the work takes place on a platform. and we have a low gain and a password. at 2 pm every day i log on to the powerful platform on this platform we deal with messages from disneyland paris on facebook and twitter dissonant ysu facebook to tweet to.

daisy. their reservations campaign thanks comments that we can delete the talent important to the department def t.v. to know some sample they did but i have to wait folks that don't it does soon as there's a message i process it with butter. on it then what then do we have model and says that you just go to personalize a little bit better not change the 1st name or adapted to bat. according to the client's request. to clean up. i work 6 days a week for this work a on a monthly flat rate of $200.00 euros so it's $200.00 euros for 48 hours a week. bus women. in.

a poem from mars i found a job on another platform this election procedures were very tough. the process was difficult and very long seen it handled. it in platform the key difference that platform says it wants to help young women from africa and asia earn a stable income to help them achieve their goals sally sara dorsey. ended up losing but they didn't pay what they promised you after a while some of us decided to boycott certain tasks and demand a rate increase of the old boy yeah we sent a group email to the people in charge asking them to apply the 2 year as $0.86 per

hour they had promised when we started this whole new order did it in soon and only then did they explain that the 2 year or $0.86 was just an example of what you could in theory listen it if our thelma teeth they said that by working for an hour doing multiple tasks we should be able to make 2 year as 80 $0.06 of unseasonable. how can you make to us $0.86 in one hour if a task is paid $0.27 and each task takes at least 15 minutes to complete all my cousin and that's simply not possible that sick time or impulse even. though i do see this is a there is no cause in the for causing the guys using the indices nick. the phones and. only. the doors on the doors are learning to feel moved.

the learned the familiar. enough but. i'm happy. to just meet. the. new city. no one has said. we don't know who owns the platform but i have a website there are several companies listed on the s.n.c.f. which is the french national railway and french banks have all. nothing but big companies you know how good the cons are saying. you're making seoul i don't know if these companies are aware of what's happening beneath the seed but they benefit from the exploitation carried out that sun deniable distance in the end they pay very little for high quality work. the company profits it's all

about money and if it's there if a certain guest on death row. was the seriousness of their fish to explain it's the rich who exploited the poor to make more profit for themselves without caring about the welfare of those who do the work for them on the top of a boy that's the way it is so they can pay more but they prefer to make bigger profits and get richer and richer. coffee so the operators and the moderators remain operators and with moderators this until they die or they had this leadership style no harm or a lot of these platforms open branches all over the world they get more customers they make a lot of money in leicester although we were main moderators. every months we were

just to keep going the next month these are 2 small towns but if you get paid on the 15th you have to juggle the bells and really manage your money just to make it last a month when you get your next salary that's how it works so much it's a vicious circle saul was able to show that.

after college i traveled when i stopped in barcelona. if i found odd jobs before coming to work for facebook. i don't have. i'm not allowed to say anything about the company. and him and nothing about how it works in our working conditions our salary our contract what we are doing nothing. to date and so this is very risky. i'm taking a big risk b. could ruin my life. and might sound like a movie but you never know when the incision just never know here they have gotten less resources whereas i have none. so it's not easy. and.

it's beautiful but an idea facebook partnered with an outsourcing firm in new york and. that firm found the employees to train them according to facebook's guidelines of his book. it was this outsourcing firm that actually handled the employee's. content i was a content moderator that question it is an alliance of the content to see if it was appropriate for the platform. on a typical day you arrive at the office go up stairs leaving all your personal items in a locker as a gift and then also like as you and city to computer which isn't yours is that often about half and then. when you spend some time reviewing the decisions made in

previous days as an alternative market forces your decisions are always monitored as if after that you start moderation content all day long. cotton when you arrive you clock in not with a badge but with your finger prints on punched. contests and if the amount of moderation people do is facebook's to pan's on their pace in the time they've worked there. from one person to the next it varies between 30600 reviews a day says something new. in the. murder suicide right. domestic violence racism discrimination is bullying too. while for me the

worst thing is in. question the beheading says the captain and the rape of babies. i think they're the worst for. she was there to cover up and if you're still a bit naive or innocent and they please don't take this childish shit don't do it. don't spoil that. there are things you don't want to say. it's not worth it fucking ourselves that once you've lost your innocence you can get back.

my name is chris i'm from england originally and i lived a long time in asia and then i came back to ireland with my new wife and we needed to find work and this was the easiest job that i could find the job title is community operations analyst it doesn't say anything about facebook it doesn't really explain the job they tell you it's about analyzing trends and recognizing what's happening in the world and implementing standards and so forth it sounds very exciting but we're working in a fish facebook building where using the facebook systems i have a facebook id i have a documents for facebook that i have to sign it's you working for facebook but

there's a gap i think and it's just to protect facebook legally i think most of my work was related to content moderation so i was just looking at pornography. or. material content that people have reported as pornography so mostly naked ladies it was a very nice my 1st month was a very pleasant month of work but then you would see some disgusting animal sex or children or something occasionally so it was a little bit of a shock and then later the priority for the u.k. team is hate speech bullying threats of violence you know nasty nasty stuff and i would spend 6 hours reading arguments between people or complaints about muslims or black people or english people or french people just nasty awful stuff all day.

so when i started the job i was i was kind of excited i'm saving the world i'm here to protect the people who use facebook from bad actors this is the name we have people whose actions are bad so you would just review the content and think about the rules. and after some time you notice maybe you're agreeing with the content or disagreeing and getting angry and then after a little bit more time. you're responding more to something bad to see oh god not this again i hate this guy why do people do this and you start to. it's not immediately because you're ready but over time it starts to just just 'd catch slap slap slap slap you start to feel the pain i think.

it's there i can see every detail. and it comes back and it's it's it's deep in my mind it's buried in my head you know it's really really hard. i have several friends that i worked with before who are now on able to work or not working can't find a job. they're taking medication anxiety medication they're taking antidepression medication my doctor told me i'm depressed and i need to take sri s.s.r.i. prozac. because she thinks i'm depressed and. i don't believe in these diseases i don't i don't want to take medicines. but i'm not doing very well either i've had 3 jobs since i left facebook i can't keep a job i get into arguments with people about nothing. so.

we need help we need. a professional person to spend some time with us and help us to understand. what problems we have and what we can do. the n.d.a. means i can have this conversation i can't talk to you i can't talk to my wife about the work that i do or did not and you're not allowed to discuss any details of anything related to facebook's operations of facebook's secret information or your your working conditions it covers everything it's a. a gagging order. for life it's a life time agreement. somebody has to speak because we're hidden was silent we are not allowed to have a voice because facebook wants to protect facebook facebook doesn't want to protect

the people that may be harmed. it was like a light in your head. you just know our young this is the truth i should ask a lawyer if it's ok. initially i was contacted by chris who came to me and explained his work circumstances it was very easy for me to do the research to see what he was complaining about and to understand and empathize with his position that it was also easy for me to understand his legal rights and how they were infringed by what

has happened and that of course will form the basis of the case against facebook. from true chris many more people have come forward and both male and female and it's quite clear that a pattern emerged straight away of people who were hurt people who were injured as a result of what happened to them in their workplace and the many hours they spent doing what they had to do which unfortunately has led to their damage and will now lead to their vindication of their rights through the courts. i think if you listen to politicians nobody is aware of what's being taught what's happening. because politicians are all complaining about fake news and election integrity and the spread of extremism etc there's this problem that they see and they just shout we want a solution. but they don't know anything about the work they're not talking about. you know how can we do this or just pointing to the social media companies and

saying this is your fault but they're not they're not engaged with her how do you do this because to write the rules is really really difficult to create a system that enables us to protect you your children somebody is bullying or kid i have to deal with that somebody is suppressing hateful ideology i have to deal with it i try to think about this as if i'm mark zuckerberg how do you solve this problem. it's not his problem his problem is that he has to make money for his shareholders. it's a legal requirement in america he has to make the maximum profit so he's not interested in content moderation unless it makes more money. and i never heard anybody talk about how facebook makes more money because of this.

2 of the best bus the c. platform i'm one of these i think these platforms biggest trick is to make consumers or users in general believe that there are automatic processes and algorithms that work everywhere this is what you can get isn't going to win very often these tasks are done by hand that you saw it easy on them you do for them to

make workers believe that what they're doing is not real work they call it a job a gig i'm sure it's transitory ephemeral and will eventually disappear. they have that but despite about us could do something thanks to this approach they avoid paying for a work it's true value and they avoid providing any kind of social security is also the political shot of the. seal of god if we look only at the workers we overlook the fact that these workers also produce data for these little and this data is used to produce automation the ability for example workers are geo located according to all this geo location data is collected by the older platform the cell saying on the platform uses this data on the one hand to make it service work but also and this is the most worrying thing in the long run ober is using the data to create automatic processes. he says

you don't do do good refuses to divert drivers it's a question of using this data to train autonomy vehicles legal order of water delivery drivers we see it on platforms like amazon to train delivery robots all believe that the employer were preparing for automation by using this mass of data produced by these click workers sick like your b.p. . who are the new can you see it will be don't make will cause you to be a certain if you swap one job be to outsource today to put people to work or less well paid less whose rights are less respected there's no need to open a factory in another country in a sufficient number of board to talk to you later on but for the if suddenly he says quite simply a matter of attracting people from other countries where average wages are lower than the platform's countries of origin to work for your platform to be duly shino

you don't sell a stream that i thought so you could do she could do i see made. this type of logic of economic and political asymmetry we do need someone even call it neil colonialism it is also applied by platforms locally in their own country don't get to play for money to gain is that the american platforms ruthlessly exploited micro workers and click workers in the us. the platform say's in france french platforms don't hesitate to pay very little to french micro workers you say in the subject you should see why this is something that points to a kind of global impoverishment and exploitation both in the north sea and the south don't you know that would be nice.

to see. it's really been 6 times who you know faced with the most extreme situations of subordination exploitation and surveillance call the unique workers who will help raise collective awareness of the shell script in the flood the city will meet whistleblowers who will speak out against a situation that is unjust or suggestion and must be protested to use that ok if you just report like it for some 3. months that it is a get can get. should be preacher of those who threw caution to the governor as i realize that be working for a couple when i signed the contract and read the clause saying i'm criminally responsible under irish law if i divulge anything to anyone about this or it will. start.
