ah, the me, ah, [000:00:00;00] excuse me. this is the w news lived from china's all seeing surveillance system in shanghai video cameras and artificial intelligence team to keep a close eye on 24000000 citizens. is it smart governing or a violation of civil rights? they w, you get special access to the monitoring state, a cold city brain, also coming up a russian opposition activists that hold off of playing just before take off. while

another prominent kremlin critic is arrested and threatened with jail, you calls it a patent of shrinking space for critical voices in russia. much too long, the history of what took place here was told in science club dark news, but just because history is silent, it doesn't mean that it did not take place. he was president joe biden, remember the tulsa massacre of black americans that happened a century ago, plus, influenced, or influenced a look at how a shadowy p agency is in listing. social media starts to peddle miss information about the bio tech 5 vaccine. ah ah, i'm anthony. how welcome. when the pandemic broke out, china was credited with getting it quickly under control, partly down to it. strict enforcement of locked down, but in

a city of $24000000.00 residents, like saying hi, how do what's already go about keeping an eye on people? an extra port looks at video surveillance in the country. political leaders say shanghai, the 21st century smart city using facial recognition and big data. what's more, is they end to expand the system across the country. but where does that leave concerns or the privacy and human rights? well mathias building, again, special access to where all this monitoring takes place. it is called a brain and it has hundreds of thousands of eyes. and please of this surveillance center called city brain in shanghai, put on district, have direct control over cameras that cover almost every corner of the district. in the background, artificial intelligence scans the footage for rule breakers. on this construction site, it has identified a worker was not wearing his helmet. besides camera footage,

the system also collect data from the city administration and property management. the government wants to create a powerful tool to govern this city and its citizens send on. don is one of the designers that the system that has been operating since 2018 tongue woman, she said they will test his arms on the law by seeing nichol for us citizens in the city. the system had to providing a secure, orderly, and clean environment that the government doesn't mean to govern the city more efficiently. they will, myself, lashawn mclaughlin, sather, wiley hall, john, they go check. the city brains, employees have access to more than 290000 cameras. and this is just one hop of what the government envisions as a nationwide network. the goal is 100 percent camera coverage at all. important

places like train stations, crossroads parks, in berlin scholar. my callback has studied these efforts for many years. she says she has downloaded millions of tenders for surveillance systems from government websites that often spell out the goal of the surveillance explicitly comes from that machine. doesn't want to mention a mentalist intox, they're describing how human interaction is the source of any social conflict. conflict is what could cause trouble for the government who is concerned with social stability. so as long as you can cover every aspect of human life with cameras and surveillance, one can react, diffuse and calm down the situation. come and listen. conflict side and decking and chaff on hot on composite will put on shanghai central business district is but one of many places that have such extensive data and surveillance

infrastructure. there is little opposition from the public to the or seeing system put on city brain. not only collect surveillance footage, but also detailed data about each household in the city. in the covert outbreak, its employees were given an additional task. the data is used to ensure citizens are observing their quarantine. though i me, if you think, i think if we installed interconnect sensors at the apartment door, if somebody leaves the flattened breach of the anti epidemic rules, we will get an alarm signal. mental health authority and compound workers will be informed by us and can react swiftly across to the project. like to don't city brain show, china's government sees data as a means of control. the pandemic has only advanced these ambitions.

for more i'm joined now by one of the authors of that report the w mathias building a but it welcome. how has that corona virus pandemic impacted the taught and the amount of surveillance carried out in china? well, we've seen some exam one example in this report, magnetic or camera magnetic sensors are cameras installed in front of doors of people who have to quarantine have been especially in the beginning quite some excesses in that regard. i remember one friend telling me that her property management insisted not only on installing a camera in front of the apartment, but in the apartment. another thing that has changed or how, where surveillance and data has advanced in everyday life apps where you need to scan. when you enter a building, when you enter a taxi, these apps, they register where you have been so the authorities theoretically would be able to

identify anybody who has been close to anybody who has, has been diagnosed with over 900 or tested positive. so a lot of data on the movements of the citizens is collected that was not collected before. mathias, according to one study by the comparative china has 18 out of the 20 most vile cities in the world. it's a sensitive topic in most places, but how the residents are they ok with this level on this type of surveillance? there's very little discussion in china about this surveillance. and the reason is, of course, that a discussion about this is not really allowed here, except for maybe some singular voices. my impression is nevertheless, that many people are okay with it. as long as it delivers

a safe environment. i've heard people saying spontaneously not being off not being in some context, government context. they feel the cities have become safer, the negative sides. the invasiveness of surveillance is of course, that something that people might not notice as easily if a discussion about is suppressed. we don't know really how big the percentage of people who might not be okay with this is precisely for these reasons. but what we know is, of course, that they're not heard in public without hearing many of those voices. we ask, i guess there are many big cities around the world like berlin, washington, the london, they have video type abilities is what's happening in china. really that difference well, the cameras might not be that different. and the recognition systems that operate in the background, technologically, are available in other countries as one of the question is, what is the government willing to do?

how far is it willing to go and what it is, is it used for? and, and that's a question of who is controlling the authorities who have access to all this. and of course, there is a very big difference between china and other countries in the world. in this control on the authorities does not exist except by the superior level of these authorities. if the government wants to use this data for whatever purpose it is free to do so. the w mathias building in beijing. thanks so much. and now some of the other stories making headlines around the world is that how talk is set to become. israel's 11th president, elected in secret ballot, navy countries, 120 law makers. that's all is the son of israel, 6 president form a labor party leader. john helps will start his duties next month in indiana. for land, no authority say a cargo ship carrying tons of chemicals,

thinking the ship was 1st damaged by a fire in light. my plastic waste has swamped the coastline and chemical containers have fallen overboard as well. it has been described as the countries worst mount marine disaster. well, the largest meat processing company, brazil's j. b. s. visit is getting back online after a cyber tech, over the weekend. the company said it was expected. the vast majority of its plants to be operating on wednesday, early at the white house said j. b. s. had notified it of the ransom demand from a criminal group, likely based in russia. leader paying union is demanding the belief of a prominent russian opposition figure who was taken off a plane down the poland and rape above it off was arrested in petersburg, a port on monday. the former director of the pro democracy opened russia group is one of several activists arrested in recent days. the crackdown comes ahead of parliamentary elections in september. the use a provoke of case confirms

a continuous pattern of shrinking space for civil society. the opposition and critical voices in russia secretly taken images. the voluntary people are of being led away by police after being hold off a plane about to take off moments before his arrest. the activists tweeted a picture of the officers boarding the aircraft, but it was after you had already turned to stone off as the plane began to take off a few minutes later on. he went back online and wrote me that the plane had been stopped and he saw the police driving to the gangways after us under was of course it from the plain alone. the incident is somebody with them. people. vera was taken to his apartment, which researched before he was driven away. he's been brought to the southern city of cross nador. he's always say to keep him out of the media. i mean taken for

questioning. now. the remarkable thing is out there have been no information about this case earlier. if i have been asked to come for questioning, i would have come. that's why this is all a very big surprise. social people are of the rest that thank petersburg, airport comes days after his open russia foundation. felt that activities to avoid persecution and rushes repressive laws and opposition groups. but the police did not stop there on tuesday, they rated the offices of opposition. politician, dimitri good cause who was planning to run an upcoming parliamentary elections. now go into the next department. i've never felt so important before. there are 60 people working on our case today. when i'm alive, i'll speak to everyone. thank you. good call for then we'll so arrested on some of his associates taken in for questioning. the question is, please, if this is a personal case against the opposition figures to pressure them,

push the massive politics and prevent them from running in the elections. with such scenes, repeating themselves all over russia. the opposition is bracing for a tough time before pose open in september. and for more on this, we are joined now by de w correspondent, emily show when in moscow, emily, welcome. what's the latest you're hearing about these a breath? well, we know that a good cough and under the 2 out of are both quite high profile opposition. figures here in russia and their allies say that this is a political campaign against the whole opposition. officially good cause was arrested in connection with, apparently not having paid rent on a space that he rented here in moscow from the moscow mayor's office. apparently,

a 140 police officers were involved in searching ken premises and apartments that are connected with him and his family. and he could face up to 5 years in prison when it comes to people via of he has been arrested in connection with apparently working with an undesirable organization. even though of the organization that he worked for open, russia was actually dissolved before his arrest. exactly as the, you know, up your, she said to prevent the persecution of him and also other members of that movement. and he could face up to 6 years in prison. we might see the beginning of the trials of these 2 figures today, or in the coming days, apparently end of the can. we just focus on the rest of andre people. but from the open russia foundation to be more how unusual is the style of his wrist. in that he was taken of a plane i'd say it's very unusual. usually,

russian authorities are absolutely fine with opposition figures going into exile, leaving russia. in fact, in some cases, apparently they've even encouraged some opposition figures to leave russia essentially to get out of the kremlin hair. in this case, we saw this rather theatrical arrest. votter was taken out of the airplane, which was about to take off from st. petersburg airport, and i think it's there are very clear parallels to be drawn here with neighboring bell roof, where a plane was actually landed in minsk only for an opposition and blogger to be arrested. and i think everyone here in russia is drawing those parallels in the past few days after all people here have been watching very closely. the events of the past month in bell, bruised the protests after those elections, presidential elections,

and the violent crackdown that came afterwards on protesters on opposition, politicians on journalists. and it almost seems as if the russian authorities, who so far have been a bit more liberal than their neighbouring bella. ruth, are showing that, you know, they can, they can do the same and that people shouldn't take to the streets and protests like they did in delaware, just quickly russians. and this is just adopted a so called extreme, this bill that would bach critics from polls. is that the ultimate step in this campaign to silence the opposition when people say that this law that just been passed is actually aimed directly at nevada needs allies. 3 of his organizations could in a trial on the 9th of june, be declared extremist. and this bar means that this law rather means that anyone connected with extremist organizations can run it's part of a wider crackdown that we've now seen with the examples of people a lot of and good cause for moscow. emily sherman,

thanks so much joe biden has become the 1st sitting us president to visit the site of the tulsa massacre in oklahoma. in 100 years since a white mob killed as many as 300 african americans in the middle class district, known at the time as the black bull street bought and says, rights for black americans are still under assault to this day. or now, the survivors of the tulsa massacre over 100 years old, but never in their long life. have they seen a president commemorate the event. president biden held a minute of silence in tulsa to remember a black community that was subjected to one of the worst rachel attacks in us history for much too long. the history of what took place here was told in silence, cloaked in darkness. but just because history is silent,

it doesn't mean that it did not take place. in 1921, a mob of white people looted and burned tulsa's, thriving greenwood district. a proper account of the dead was never completed. but some estimates say hundreds of black americans were killed. those now living in the city said the president's visit was vital for racial justice. and it's important because there's a beginning of admittance. there's a beginning of, let's speak on these things and let's try to deal with this so that we can grow and move forward. we need his presence. we need for people to continue to learn about the race math occur and to continue to invest, to really help us move forward. we're looking back is one thing, but thinking about what's next is sort of the big part of it. like, what are we going to do to make things right? what are we going to do to improve our community? biden has said clear of a commitment for reparations to survivors and their descendants. that says his

administration is aware that more needs to be done to address racial inequality. okay, and he's look now at the latest developments in the crone of ours pandemic the world health organization has approved a covet 19 vaccine made by china sinner vac, or emergency use in adults of 18. it's the 2nd such authorization. it's granted to a chinese company, a current of ours lockdown in australia, 2nd biggest city, melbourne has been extended by another week following a small cluster of cases at a report as africa faces procession growing violence and high unemployment because of the pandemic. that's from the most able to him foundation which promotes good governance, lead k government is hosting a global vaccine confident summit, as international leaders look at ways to improve the uptake of covet 19 vaccines. but their job hasn't been made any easier bought online skeptics raising doubt about the safety of inoculation. one coordinated campaign appears to have targeted the by and take 5 vaccine by offering payment. the social media influences that

will be in the spread misinformation. and then the internet on his youtube channel code to watch, man present his take on current affairs. a couple of weeks ago he received an ominous email, commanded, have i going to influence the agency based in london, contacted me, which is not unusual on but what was strange was in the very 1st email. they said we had some information here that we would like to disseminate. i will pay you for it. at the time, they asked him to discredit biotech and reference supposedly secret information that allegedly approved. hundreds of people have died from its vaccination. he played a long and took up their offer to find out more of the gulf don't handle. i take out further instructions saying, for example, that my post should come across personal opinion vital. and that i should not back in my sponsored posts, which by the way, illegal in germany, you got that. i should say that i came across this information myself around the

world. youtube is a being offered money in similar circumstances, like leo casa, who lives in france. we are at the center of something going on like information war. and people need to be super, super cautious. a for the read about, my da here about francis health minister responded sharply to these attempts to manipulate public opinion before this or last one was the vast majority of french people want to be vaccinated. and i don't think anyone from, from, or abroad can dissuade the frames with such a negative communication campaign that they told me to call the witness. according to research by german broadcast a r d, youtube is from other countries have already spread the dubious information in india. for example, on this. so here, there are 2 companies who pro, acts in the sense this brazilian you cheaper, is also seen warning view as against what he calls the dangerous vaccine ascii blow

to the mountain. forget there are lots of famous people out there who won't do almost anything for cash that it's dangerous, especially when it comes to things like elections that influences are being paid to place certain messages. go out and feel good to both of them to put the daniels alpha, an editor at germany's net politic talk. all due side has been researching the issue. cassandra, some thing that this company doesn't even exist in the british commercial register, it's a dummy company. that doesn't happen to have a doorbell at the address provided clinton did is that we found it's customers seem by and large mostly to be russian line. michel dutchman stopped researching the topic the suppose an agency apparently figured out who was leading them on and cut all contact. and we want to continue the discussion with investigative journalist, daniel laugher, who we just saw in that report. daniel, welcome, the burning question raised in that report is who is behind this campaign?

and so we ask, i guess who benefits from the spread of business information? it's not entirely clear was behind that, but where it says general, hard to save, who might benefit from this information? in this case, i think it's rather obvious you have a case where someone is trying to undermine trust and vaccine in which a lot of people in the western world are putting a lot of hope into the, basically a trying to make it look as if the governance were hiding something that people behind the campaign, one that the influences to claim that the media was hiding it as well. so whoever is behind this, once to create a situation in which it seems like the western world doing something would be dangerous with their back seen. and of course, if you look at the situation in russia with their campaign in terms of the vaccine and not developing the way they might have hoped,

it would seems possible that have coming from there. we found traces to russia in terms of the company that's behind the information campaign. and also if you look at the twitter. com for sport make via the russian vaccine, it has been spreading similar messaging to this disinformation campaign. now for weeks general, how much of an effect can individual influences have on changing public opinion? you just think about the way insurance is usually work. i mean, they search talking to their euros directly. they build up an image where they become something like, perhaps a big brother or big sister to the u. s. so they have a lot of trust. and if you big brothers, big sisters tells you something about their opinion. you, of course the listen, you take it very seriously. this is not like some remote at that's been shown to

you. this is someone who you really have a connection. toria think you have a connection to a telling you something which eventually might change your political views, which might change the way that you feel about this vaccine in this case. so i think they actually succeeded this campaign which they did in some cases, at least. i think it might have a great effect, even though it's hard to actually measure it. we've been asking for a long time now. it seems what is being done and what can be done to stop this deliberate sprayed of misinformation. the problem is it's very hard to regulate it because there's a thin line and if you cross it, you're basically committing censorship. and you do not want to sense of freedom of speech. this is not at all what you want to do, obviously. so that's obviously means that you have to accept a lot of things that are out there that might be wrong. opinions. in this case,

it's about fact that's more easy. but the thing is also, if you look at the way they did it, they took real numbers and then put them into a wrong context. so to figure out what was actually wrong with those numbers, you would have to thoroughly fact check the campaign. this takes time and eventually you need to draw this conclusion. that's just not something that you can notice right away when just looking at it because it pops up in your feet. so even let's say if the platform then reacted to it and eventually took it down and sanctioned the people spreading. it was so mean that the message had already gotten out. and this makes it very hard to actually yeah, some home contaminate to contain this kind of kind of spread of information then you're well for thanks so much. thank you. and finally,

if you're afraid of heights this london pool is probably not for you. suspended 35 meters in the air between 2 apartment buildings. this transparent sky pool office swimmers, the kind of city views it on the get on a postcard. as long as you can hold your breath. and of course, if you're lucky enough to live at the right address and the residence of the luxury, high rise development are allowed to use it. watching the deadly news up next to your business news roundup with steven beasley. i'm asked me how it, thanks for watching the news. the news news
