well coming up on r. and c. there is an old saying that the early bird catches the worm but c.-span they may be taking that a bit too far their coverage of the twenty six thousand race for the white house begins today and more than twelve hundred days before votes are cast a look at this foolishness just ahead. north carolina was the scene of a confrontation between an undercover cop and a rapper now it started with an officer demanding the rapper give up his arizona iced tea even though the can was clearly marked as just t.v. we'll speak with the man who was rolling when the takedown took place. the u.s. colleges are now offering courses under roads from piloting drones to engineering drones of the future students are taught the skills of a growing industry an in-depth look at drones when i won coming up on the show.

well it's friday may third four pm in washington d.c. i'm margaret held you're watching our t.v. . well we're less than six months past the last us presidential election and more than three and a half years until the next one but the horse race has already begun that's right tonight c.-span will launch its road to the white house twenty sixteen coverage and other news outlets have already started speculating about who the contenders are for the next presidency despite the fact that we've only reached one hundred days and in this president's term so what's with the obsession of this race for the presidency is there nothing else going on in the world well maybe it's just easier to cover a horse race politics than have an actual policy debate and even if the media outlets are looking to specialize in election coverage rather than the day to day there is an election coming up much sooner than the major presidential election next year in two thousand and fourteen all four hundred thirty five seats house of

representatives and thirty three seats in the senate and thirty six governors races will all go up for a vote but by all means we should be speculating about an election within three years away instead. were released earlier this week a new poll by c.b.s. and the new york times shows that seventy eight percent of americans are ok with surveillance cameras now this comes in the wake of the boston marathon bombings and this poll indicates that nine out of ten americans feel terrorism is a risk all of us must be willing to live with suggesting more receptive it receptiveness to the broader security measures so how does the average american really feel about the privacy versus security debate warrantees chad boyle brings us more. in the wake of the boston marathon bombings the new york times and c.b.s. news release the poll saying seventy eight percent of americans are all in favor of installing surveillance cameras in public places to reduce the threat of terrorism

. i took to the streets of the nation's capital to find out of the people agree or disagree with these results where in america where a free country we don't want to get back to you know after all country where we're being watched all the time and worried about what we're doing and now we have freedom of speech freedom of religion we should be able to i mean that's why she's here i mean i adopted her so she could have a free life so i don't agree with that now i think that's a little bit of an infringement on privacy i don't mind i'm surveillance cameras watching watching things i don't know that i would necessarily want in following everything that i do but i'm definitely in public areas and i'm places like that i would be opposed to it will i mean something needs to be done to protect the country our citizens and our loved ones so i don't have a problem is not a bad idea i mean if somebody's going on so probably having more intensified you know the use of surveillance can be used to deter crime but ultimately it's not

going to stop crime well you know it's like anything it's a mixed bag because it keeps us safe but at the same time it is an invasion of privacy so i don't know i mean it's a gray area right i'm next to the liberty. to a degree yeah but so is facebook and also all that social media stuff. so i don't know. despite the polling results that say seventy eight percent of americans are for surveillance cameras watching our every move the public opinion here in the nation's capital is a little bit more mixed in washington and chad boyle r.t. when americans were still reeling from the eleventh september. tax congress three days later passed a far fetched resolution calling for the authorization for use of military force against terrorists and the math as it's called said that the president is

authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations organizations or persons he deems planned authorized committed or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on september eleventh two thousand and one or harbored such organizations or persons in order to prevent any future acts of an international terrorism against the united states by such nations organizations or perk or persons those words have increased the power of the executive branch and have been used repeatedly to justify american actions abroad and here at home for instance the n.s.a. cited the resolution in a lawsuit about reckless electronic surveillance of american citizens and the current administration has used it to justify killings of broad readers is reporting that members of congress are questioning whether those words need more clarity they say the math has been used for actions that have nothing to do with the september eleventh attacks and what's worse the resolution has no expiration

dates. with the new attacks and boston still fresh will people be ready to talk about the limitations on how far this government can go to stop terrorist attacks alarming footage has popped up on line showing rapper christopher extra bt being arrested for refusing to hand over his arizona iced tea to a cop now the incident took place on april twenty ninth will extract and his friends were outside a north carolina liquor store the plainclothes police officer seen here asked extravagant hand over his can of iced tea because he was skeptical of what was inside now the policeman then a rest of the rapper for refusing to hand over the iced tea in for a fusing to leave the parking lot now the police continued on pressing the rapper claiming that he was trespassing the entire time extravagence friends had been inside the establishment well with me to talk more about this the man who recorded all of it filmmaker brown know his films include by any means necessary and just to get by thanks for joining us tina so i watched this video of this man who's

identifying himself as a cop subsequently arresting your friend extra bear over drinking an iced tea tell me what happens. well first i'd like to say thank you for having me along and i really appreciate it. what happened was we was recording extravagant music video earlier during the day and after recording a video he said hey you know let's stop i get something to drink thirsty we stop by the original companion store he grabs his he grabs arizona iced tea and he said hey you know let's stop by the liquor store grab something for to close to later on you know we can have a good time and we pulled up at the liquor store and that's when i decided to hit record you know just to have extra footage the pot could possibly go with a music video and i pulled up hopped out of my car hit record almost immediately and you know the video speaks for itself on that point on we were just right for

just totally riley so when they put x. travel on the ground you know that moment what were you thinking and you were you thinking are you kidding me you know you know the main thing that i was thinking honestly was like are you kidding me number one and number two i really was thinking of the constitution i really was i was like where you know the right here was like he doesn't have the right to drink iced tea right now. it was kind of harsh certainly so what happened after about a rast. well after the arrest the original well the fayetteville police department showed up as seen in video two and he pulled up and i tried to explain to him hey you know we have footage we have evidence you know if someone's going is a crime we have evidence here and they just ignored me they didn't want to hear they were really more so mad that i did have evidence and they just ignored me and and he was arrested booked brought downtown and he has

a court date on june sixth in fear do and say well what was the charge exactly brought against the charge was trespassing and resisting the rest which everyone can see he had his hands up as he was tackled to the ground he never once threw elbow upon cheek he didn't even get allow for that matter so you know hopefully we can get people to stand up give calls letters even you know some some type of protest or anything that could bring awareness because it's bigger than extract it's about the people of america certainly so it sounds like you know a lot happening still the status of this just so i understand you sir these charges haven't been drops no no charges have it mean dropped and for anyone it's. trying to find out update on information they can follow me at my twitter to you know brown three one five i'm always updating the situation now even be posting new

video footage of extravagance playing the story from his and also have him here with you guys explaining the story but on it's not over i mean they're really pursuing him because you know they're standing behind he did he committed a crime that's what they're standing behind well my my next question for you sir may seem a little premature but are you guys planning any civil action. of course yes we're planning civil action we're getting with attorneys right now civil attorneys we're just open here with anyone who may think they can handle this case may say so if you know if there's any civil attorneys listening that seen the video you know that they can give us advice of stairs in the right direction or possibly help with the case we're all open for and it's more important we need people like you and others to speak up and help us with it ok well i want to take you to the public response

to this video if you can tell me you know what is the public response to that you tube video of this a rasta and what does it mean see that we're talking about it now. really it means everything to me because i have a daughter and you know it's the future of america you know it's the main concern the public is responding with you know with what i expected with hey you know that could have been me that could have been my child that could have been my mother for goodness sake but they're appalled they're mad which they should be because you know i you know brown i stand for the constitution i stand for freedom and at this moment you know like i said it's about the future that's what i'm concerned about if our kids or grandkids you know we're going through this now and it's getting worse by the day imagine what they'll have to go through if we the people continue to allow this to happen well tina we've got to leave it there are thank you for your time sir that was filmmaker tina brown. thank you. it's a bird no it's

a plane wait a minute it's a door only it's no secret that drone technology is a major business but according to figures from the electronic frontier foundation an approximate thirty thousand unmanned aerial vehicles are expected to be flying overhead across america by twenty twenty but he will be engineering and piloting me as well r.t. as honest as a church going to reports on how people are lining up to get their degree in drones . unmanned aerial vehicles better known as drones are not only in the skies but might be taught at a college near you at least three u.s. schools offer bachelor degrees in engineering and flying u a v's dozens more offer drone one zero one courses and classes. the university of north dakota kicked off its four year program in two thousand and nine with just five students that number is now at one hundred twenty they've elected to major in unmanned aircraft systems and i believe the reason is that they see this as an opportunity for growth it's an

emerging technology embry riddle aeronautical university in florida began training u.a.b. pilots and operators in two thousand and eleven and expects the number of graduates to reach the hundreds in the next several years and becoming and they use are becoming more prevalent in pretty much any time region you can imagine the increased interest in the drone industry is largely fueled by post-grad starting salaries that are much higher than those for pilots flying planes or helicopters were an economy that's hasn't recovered ok so people see opportunities for jobs wherever there's money to be had of course but the problem is that universities are supposed to do something more than serve the military industrial complex to widespread debate drones are notoriously used as weapons and u.s. wars abroad the one that's under heavy scrutiny right now is that i mean aircraft are in the past been used by the military therefore the logical leap is that i mean they're going to be used militaristically in the united states. the federal aviation administration says that ten thousand commercial drones could be used over

u.s. skies within five years for surveillance and other purposes while controversy surrounding them is that a piece how dare they even talk about drones on a domestic there are many many cities in the country that have already got rights to use these drones and they will be using them so without laws that protect our privacy we don't know how they're going to be used most people teaching and studying programs insist their use is much more varied than for military purposes abroad and surveillance at home. where that would be an issue at all border security meteorological and environmental surveillance such as sending a drone into a hurricane without having to worry about the pilots among the applications most commonly praised in the us. still the most common association with drones at home is law enforcement and it's this aspect that's making americans very uncomfortable

obviously there's going to be some regulations that are going to have to be put in place so that people don't run around or at least you know police or whoever doesn't just have the ability to run around and you know go unchecked looking at you know having a ever watchful eye over the public but i don't think that will it will be a deterrent or so it'll be a challenge to make sure that you know people are happy with the implementation of their graft into the national airspace system officials are yet to convince americans that there are more pros than cons to drones flying over u.s. soil it's time to say wait a minute hold up let's not move forward in this area without understanding where we're going and that's the problem here and that's the danger the association for unmanned vehicle systems international estimates the number of american jobs in the industry will grow to over twenty three thousand over the next fifteen years. and. new york. well there's news this week coming out of the united nations the u.n.

human rights commission released a report calling for a moratorium both the testing production assembly transfer acquisition deployment and use of killer robots yes killer robots lethal autonomous robotics or lars are already being used by nations around the world for many others and working to develop technology as well arty's mega lopez has a story. well right as the united states navy inaugurated its first ever squadron of unmanned aerial vehicles in california this week the u.n. human rights commission just released a report talking about the dangers that these robots present to the global community as well as to international law the report's author christoph haynes went so far as to call for a worldwide moratorium on the testing production assembly transfer acquisition deployment and use of these machines so let's examine this report in just a little bit more detail according to the findings of this report the u.s. the u.k.

israel south korea and japan have all developed different types of fully or similar tunnel miss robotic weapons now there are two major types of robotic weapons here's a quick look at that the first is the major type that's very popular these days unmanned combat aerial vehicles better known as. or address these issues are simiane thomas meaning that they don't need it in the seat but that there is some type of human controller in a room somewhere monitoring this robot and making its decisions for it and the second type one that the u.n. report is actually most wary about lethal atomics robots lars for short these machines have the capability to conduct mission and make life and death decisions without the command of a human controller they can locate targets and then choose what to do them all themselves it's a powerful and intimidating notion that the u.n. report says could actually lower the threshold for countries to go to war or to otherwise use lethal force now obviously there's

a lot of criticism about drones you avi's and lars and numerous discussions taking place on an international level but before we move forward it's important to critically adding analyze the significance of these machines so let's take a quick look at what these robots offer their human counterparts and why the u.s. is turning to this technology more and more frequently now the first is the most obvious pro of course no lives or. actually going to be the last of the country that owns the robots they're not put in direct danger military commanders can send these robots into hard to reach or particularly volatile regions we don't risk in troops on the other hand these technologies actually have a limited ability to distinguish between civilians and combatants at best their ability to differentiate between the two is reliant on the human who actually created encoded them on the pro side however these robots can process information much quicker than their human counterparts in battle time is of the essence and every second counts when it comes to decision making so the decision making process

for these machines is actually measured in nanoseconds but that can also be a bad thing when it comes to your calves simmie autonomy robot can actually process information much quicker than the human controlling it so it can actually act before the controller understands what's going on on the pro side these machines are not motivated by self preservation therefore they will fight to the death if necessary to achieve the stated goal but then again they do not take future reference into account for the army or for the country on the pro side you can have an lara's technology will not cause purposeful suffering such as torture or particularly painful deaths their mission is the quickest means to an end but when it comes to thinking outside of the box to look at all angles of what they are doing and to consider options other than killing in order to achieve a goal essentially thinking on your feet that is actually out of the realm of possibilities for these robots to date now something many people won't give thought

to these robots will not rape this might sound like a silly thing to you but let me tell you why it isn't rape is just as common in war and stuff just common it's rampant i'm not talking about american soldiers in iraq or afghanistan although several cases have actually been reported i'm talking about places like syria mali the congo and don where it is also used as a way. and of war which brings me to my last point that cumin emotions are not taken into account these robots are not motivated by revenge or anger or panic prejudice or fear unless their programs are specifically write it into their code but that can also be a bad thing because these robots lack a motion like empathy now obviously there are a lot of arguments for and against these killer machines regardless countries around the world are forging on to be the first and to be the fastest to create these machines we really are interest a brave new world when it comes to killer technology the only question now is

whether world leaders will be able to be brave enough themselves to use the technology responsibly and draw its limits in washington meghan lopez r.t. well pornography has been considered quite popular a subject for some citizens and considered a moral hazard for others but a new study from the university of the netherlands says that viewing pornography may have less of an impact on one's sexual behavior than you might think of the study published in the journal for sexual medicine surveyed forty six hundred people between the ages of fifteen and twenty five in the other lives about their sexuality and their use of for another fee now eighty eight percent of the men and forty five percent of the women reported viewing porn in the past twelve months but that didn't make them wild sex the report found instead only between zero point three and four percent of the risky adventurous sexual behaviors that were reported could be attributed to their use of print. and the authors of this report say that the rest of these experiences could be influenced simply by

a sensation seeking personality for instance if you like to skydive then one might be more interested in adventurous sex per se there's a long history of conflicting reports over the benefits and risk of. there is a flood of vile pornography and we must act to stem this going to our right because in the words are drug robert bork it incites perverted. i mean it it just destroys. you know what what god made as a beautiful thing and turns it into something ugly and and. and sort of primal you don't have the right to to. my penis the first amendment was not there to corrupt people in america with you know put our graffiti and and horrible violence and you know sexual violence and things that are going on out there that's not a protected right to martin. but is that really as bad as they say well for gert martin

hall the author of the latest study she tells us news that pornography is not the big and bad wolf as we thought it was and maybe we should focus on other factors so does this big bad wolf have any teeth to speak of well to help me explore this issue i'm joined now by adult film performer touched a range. so high tashi so that report that came out of the netherlands do you think that what they said is happening in the u.s. does pornography have a link to a person's sexual behavior or do you think if anything i think that the person sexual behavior has a link to the pornography that they watch so i am asked her say that likes to have a specific type of sex sale like to have vanilla sex. i want to watch be d.s.m. or something a little bit more risque and crazy and i don't necessarily want to engage in that but i'd like to watch it as entertainment so that's the type of adult entertainment

that i personally feel i see the report says the personality is we're more of a factor in their approach to sex and station seeking people i guess they're more likely to take that more adventurous role do you think that's true. absolutely and i think that i would be confident saying most men including the man that i just heard speaking watches pornography and there's nothing wrong with it in my eyes i can empathize with somebody coming from a religious background like himself i heard him say christianity and you know that's an idea of religion coming into regulating my social choices and i just can't even fathom somebody thinking that they have the right to control what i want to view like it's hard for me to wrap my head around the entire concept about somebody that believes in monogamy and christianity and all of these things that

come with the religion to then go and force it on other people it's confusing to me because i don't have a problem with them not wanting to engage in sexual behavior but why do they have a problem with what i want to do ok. as we mentioned in the beginning of the show there's been some outrage over the effects of pornography and what it has on people does that concern you at all well i would love to know the specifics about the effects it has on people because for me through my lenses i see pornography as liberated sexual something that's enjoyable and fun to watch and so it's hard for me to relate to somebody that says there's something wrong with explore your sexuality i think that there's something wrong with not exploring your sexuality ok so that's good to know so new york magazine featured an article in two thousand and eleven and they claim that men who look at the sexually explicit material that they were detaching from their partners do you find that to be true. i think that a study like that would be so difficult to draw

a cause and effect or even a correlation from because it could be the fact that there are men that don't feel attached to their partner in a sexual way or they feel like that partner doesn't want to do the things that they want to do and because of that they seek forms of entertainment in order to get their sexual release it could be that the person that did that study specifically wanted those results is just something that for me is difficult to really understand because i have so many fans i go to all these different conventions all over the us and i have couples that come to me on the regular they tell me how much my videos have spiced up their sex life or made them feel confident about who they are and i love my female fans and my male fans and all of them are telling me much more positive views so you can see why it's hard for me to understand what that

means. ok so i just i want to delve into this now when i heard a professional housekeeper say once that her house was a mess do you feel like you're bringing your work home is your sex life as interesting as it is on a real screen the real screen yes or no i wish i wish my sex life was as crazy as it is on the screen but i seriously think about all the time i mean. to outrageous thing that was tosh or rain adult film performer from really studio that's going to do it for a male for more on these stories we've covered go to youtube dot com slash r t america check out our website at r t dot com slash usa you'd also follow me on twitter underscore j underscore how will stay tuned next for prime interest.

well. science technology innovation all the list of elements from around russia we've got those you jerk covered. the. distance of. iraq. the time my. prime. minister's. coming out.

good afternoon to welcome to prime interest i'm harry and boring and washington

d.c. and here's the story that we're tracking today. it's good news for jobs or is it the two headline numbers from this morning big employment report beat expectations but about two thirds of those games were in leisure and hospitality temporary work or retail sector overgaard plus of this the federal reserve which keeps a very close tabs on this report will take notice of the improvement in unemployment which ticked down to seven and a half percent which this is just one percentage point above where the fed would start to consider slowing down and the eighty five billion dollars per month the money printing program.
