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

well it's friday may third five pm in washington d.c. i'm margaret held you're watching our t.v. we are less than six months past the u.s. presidential election and more than three and a half years until the next one but this horse race has already begun that's right tonight c.-span will launch the road to the white house 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 of this president's term so what's with this obsession for the race for the presidency is there nothing else in the world going on well maybe it's just easier to cover a horse race politics than have an actual policy debate but even if 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 in the house of

representatives 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 more than 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 in the wake of the boston marathon bombings this poll indicates that nine out of ten americans feel terrorism is a risk all of us must be willing to live with suggested more septimus to broader security measures so how does average american really feel about privacy versus the security debate will artie's chad boil brings us more. in the wake of the boston marathon bombings the new york times and c.b.s. news release the poll say 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 we're a free country we don't want to get back to you know after brawl country where we're being watched all the time and worried about what we're doing and 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 as well 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 you know the use of surveillance can be used to deter crime but ultimately it's not going to stop crime 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 excited and civil liberties. 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 artsy. well americans are still reeling from the september eleventh attacks congress three days later passed a far fetched aleutian but the authorization for use of military force against terrorists and the a math as it's called said the president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations organizations or persons that 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 attacks of international terrorism against the united states by such nations organizations or persons so those words have increased the power of the executive branch and have been used for pated lee to

justify americans actions abroad and here at home for instance the n.s.a. cited the resolution in a lawsuit about warrantless electronic surveillance of marriage of american citizens and the current administration has used it to justify killings of broad now reuters is reporting that members of congress are questioning whether those words need any more clarity they say that the a u a match has been used for actions that have nothing to do with september eleventh and what's worse this resolution has no expiration date with a new boston attack still for will people be ready to talk about the limitations of how far this government can go to stop terrorist attacks. well larman footage has popped up on line showing rapper christopher extra bt being arrested for refusing to hand over his or her son ice tea to a cop now the incident took place on april twenty ninth while extravagant friends were outside of north carolina liquor store the plainclothes police officer seen

here asked extravagant hand over his can of iced tea but he was skeptical of what was inside the policeman then a rest of the rapper for refusing to hand over the tea and for refusing to leave the parking lot now the police continued on pressing the rapper claiming that he. he was trespassing the entire time x. travis and its friends had been inside the establishment. earlier i was joined by the man who recorded all of the best filmmaker tina brown know his films include by any means necessary and just to get by just after you told me exactly what happened 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 says hey

you know let's stop by the liquor store grab something for to close so 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 that pot could possibly go with music video and i pulled up hopped out of my car hit record almost immediately and you know the video speaks for itself from that point on we were just rights were just totally annihilated 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 that 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 friendly so what happened after about a raft. well after the arrest the original well the fayetteville police department

showed a scene 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 claiming there's 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 didn't 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 fayetteville n.c. well what was the charge exactly brought against the charge was trespassing and resisting arrest which everyone can see his hand as he was tackled to the ground he never once threw elbow upon she 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 extravagant just about the people of america certainly so it sounds like you know a lot happening still the status of this i mean just so i understand you sir these charges haven't been dropped no no the charges have it meant dropped and for anyone that's. trying to find out date on information they can follow me my twitter geno brown three one five always updating the situation even be posting new video footage of extravagance playing in the story from his and also have him here with you guys explaining the story but it's not over i mean there really pursuing him there 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 opening here with anyone who may think they can handle this case may say so you know if there's any civil attorneys listening that seen the video you know that they can give us advice or stairs in the right direction or possibly help the case we're all over for and it's more important we need people like you and others to speak up and help us with it ok but i want to take you to the public response of this video if you can tell me you know what is the public response to that you tube video of this a rast and what does it mean to you 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 is 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 you know they're they're appalled they're mad which they should be because you know i do 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 ok now we've got to leave it there thank you for your time sir that was filmmaker tina brown thank you well it's a bird no wait a minute it's a plane that's a drone it's no secret that drone technology is a major business and 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 them well arty's honest of the church going to report some help people are lining up to get their degrees in toronto. 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 battler degrees in engineering and fly new avi's dozens more offer drone one zero one courses and classes. for 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 that as an opportunity for growth its origin technology embry riddle aeronautical verse 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 may be as 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 aircraft were 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 day even talk about drones on a domestic guys that 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 the laws that protect our privacy we don't know how they're going to be. most people teaching and studying programs insist their use is much more varied than for military purposes

abroad and surveillance at home i think. for them where that would be an issue at all put your 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 and you even use 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 you know 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 an 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 the aircraft 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 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 r.t. 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 on quote 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 and many others are working to develop the technology as well well arty's mega lopez has more. well right now 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 the report's author christoph haynes went so far as to call for a world wide at war a tory and on the testing production assembly transfer acquisition deployment and use of these machines so let's examine this report in just 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 sin my autonomy robotic happens now there are two major types of robotic weapons here's a quick look at that the first is a major type that's very popular these days unmanned combat aerial vehicles better known as you can have you avi's or drones these machines are simmias on a miss meaning that they don't need a pilot 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 now the second type is the one that the u.n. report is actually most wary about liesl

a time it's robotics bars short these machines have the capability to conduct missions and make life and death decisions without the command of a human controller they can locate targets and then choose what to do with them all by themselves is 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 and 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 are in that actually going to be lost 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

risking 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 human counterparts in battle time is of the essence and every second counts come to decision making so the decision making process machine is actually measured in nano seconds but i can also be a bad thing when it comes to you cabs simmias economists robots can actually process information much quicker than a 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 be to take you three questions into account for the army or for the country on the pro side you can have in large 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 a centrally 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 such is common it's ramp it 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 fudan where it is also used as a weapon of war which brings me to my last. point that human emotions are not taken into account these robots are not motivated by revenge or anger or panic prejudice or fear unless they're programmers 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 interim a brave new world when it comes to killer technology the only question now is whether world leaders will be able to brave enough themselves to use the technology responsibly and draw its limits in washington meghan lopez r.t. . well still ahead here on earth she does watching porn lead to sexual aggression in risky behavior the answer seems to be no and a new study claiming that no connection between porn and wild sex exist when we return a look at busting this myth. the same story doesn't make it news new song no puff pieces i mean how much.

is it possible to navigate the economy with all the details to just pick information and media hype to keep you up to date by decoding the mainstream status it's in your mind. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else some other part of it and realize the person you. are this is the. picture.

let me let me let me ask you a question. here on this network this morning we have our night so if. to do this right spend staying there again hearing the story will be i didn't really talk about the surveillance. here is mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that the americans call. a dog. i'm sorry i missed the guy who cares enough to see you sir are you know what kind of terrorist cells he neighborhood want to listen to feature isn't he a liberal the christian. securely under. dispute

it distracts us from what you and i should care about because their profit driven industry that sells are from facials to garbage he calls it breaking news i'm abby martin and we're going to break that. city. he has been considered quite popular for some citizens and considered a moral hazard for others but a new study out of the university of the netherlands says that viewing pornography may have less of an impact on one's sexual behavior than you might think now the study published in the journal for sexual medicine surveyed forty six hundred people between the ages of fifteen fifteen and twenty five in the netherlands about their sexuality and about the use of pornography eighty eight percent of men and forty five percent of women reported viewing porn in the past twelve months but

that didn't make them wild sex addicts the report found instead only about zero point three to four percent of the risky adventurous behaviors they reported could be attributed to their pornography use now the authors of the report say that the rest of these experiences could be influenced simply by sensation seeking person out it's if you like to skydive you may be into venturous sex now there's a long history of conflicting reports over the benefits and risks of porn. there is a flood of vile pornography and we must act to stem this growing tide there is in the words of jarbidge robert bork it incites perverted murder 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. 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 the things that are going on out there that's not a protected right of marketing. is it is really as bad as they say will hurt martin hald the author of the latest study tells us news that pornography is not is the big bad wolf as we thought it was and maybe we should focus on other factors so does this big bad wolf have any teeth at all to help me explore this issue i was doing earlier by adult film performer tosh arraign and i asked her if she thought that there was a link between porn a person is actually a viewer if anything i think that the person sexual behavior has linked to the pornography that they watch so i am type of person that likes to have a specific type of sex say i like to have the nilus acts. 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 on but i'd like to watch it as entertainment so that's the type of adult entertainment that i personally feel i see the reports 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 and 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 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 wanted you know ok. as we mentioned in the beginning of the show there's been some outrage over the effect 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 as something that's enjoyable and to watch and so it's hard for me to relate to somebody that says there's something wrong with exploring 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 the 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 or cause an 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 the person that did that study specifically one of those results is just something that for me is difficult to really understand 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 tell a bit of 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 or is your sex life as interesting as it is on a real screen the response or no i wish i wish my sex life was as crazy as it is on the screen. i seriously think about all the time i mean. dull film performer from early studio but does it for now for more on the stories we've covered go to you tube dot com slash r t america we'll see you back here in a.

most of the. scientists knowledge innovation called the list of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.
