there should be. the monarchy america the united nation council sanctions north korea in an effort to pressure pyongyang into giving up its nuclear ambitions abandon ballistic missile testing. on the hills of the seventy second anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima capitol hill starting a new arms race between the u.s. and russia. and two people are killed in baltimore during the city's seventy two hour cease fire as homicides eclipsed two hundred for the year those stories and more coming up right now.

it's monday august seventh five pm in washington d.c. i'm thomas weeks and you're watching r.t. america we begin this evening with the latest on the sink sions against north korea the u.n. security council has unanimously agreed on a new set of sanctions against that country and these are tougher than before all they're aimed at persuading pyongyang to abandon its nuclear program and to stop the list of missile tests north korean officials have responded with anger artie's lesieur stress he has more from new york. well these measures are indeed before they were adopted over the weekend by the un security council and they involve ban on the exports of a lot of things that basically form the north korean economy such as coal and iron ore seafood and many many other things also including the reduction of the current numbers of north korean laborers working abroad and also prohibiting u. joint ventures with an investment in joint ventures with north korea obviously one

of the biggest instigators of these sanctions was the united states and the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley said that this was the toughest set of measures against any country ever it does indeed look like that and it's also one of those cases where all countries members of the u.n. security council all fifteen members came together and voted unanimously even the countries which have not had. a stance as the united states when it comes to north korea such as russia and china in fact the russian envoy to the united nations mr actually said that they do want the north korean bit of the korean peninsula to be denuclearized but at the same time by adopting this resolution it also russia also wants the six party talks to continue on the peaceful solution to this matter also we've had reactions obviously from pyongyang which reacted with indignation said that there will be a righteous response according to the state agency to the new sanctions and also

one of the officials quoted by the state agency in north korea said that if the united states things that it will be safe by imposing these sanctions against pyongyang it's a wrong assumption so clearly tensions are running high but again not the first time that these sanctions came into fruition and as you mentioned it's not the first time to have been introduced against north korea right so what's new this time. well the biggest change to the sanctions this time is that it concerns the things that north koreans see as the main boosters of their economy and one of the biggest hits there would be the x. the battle. of coal because just last year the north korean economy made nine hundred fifty million dollars on exporting coal and still the budget of the country was one hundred sixty four to forty million deficit so apparently with this new band it will hit the north korean economy by at least four hundred million

dollars since they can and will not be able to export oil basically the only thing that the north koreans will be able to export this time is cloves which makes up about four hundred million dollars annually worth of exports but then again it's a really tough set of measures against the country this time and one only has to wonder how the economy will feel after that because north korea is a reclusive country it's a closed off state it's really hard to know what is actually going on there economy wise but clearly it is the seventh time that sanctions have been introduced by the united nations against north korea in just eleven years this time definitely the hardest time of all seven because the previous six times clearly did not stop north korea from holding the ball a ballistic missile tests and these new set of measures against north korea are in fact the response to the two missile ballistic tests held in july so we'll see how this situation develops and where there will be a more escalation of this already serious situation on the korean peninsula and he

new york thank you so much. seventy two years ago sunday the united states dropped the first nuclear bomb ever used in war on the japanese city of hiroshima kind of estimated one hundred forty thousand civilians three days later the u.s. dropped a second bomb on the city of nagasaki killing an additional seventy five thousand civilians listen to verse or it comes as tensions between the united states and north korea are the highest they've been since the korean war on saturday the united nations voted unanimously to impose sanctions banning approximately one billion dollars in exports and barring countries from buying north korean products coal iron and seafood while thousands gathered at an annual peace ceremony in hiroshima sunday or the prime minister of japan called for global cooperation to achieve a world without nuclear weapons last month one hundred twenty two nations adopted the first international treaty banning nuclear weapons at night in his meeting

despite widespread support japan along with the nie nuclear arms nations actually refused to take part in the negotiations well this includes the united states russia the united kingdom france israel and china meanwhile both the house and senate are pushing defense legislation that would require the military to begin developing a medium range missiles violating a treaty between the united states and russia and to discuss this further we are now joined by john graham from the u.s. diplomats and member of nato is nuclear planning group thanks so much for joining us well first i'd like to get your take on the language of both the bills in the house and the senate. well first of all i i would urge your viewers not to make too much of it under the u.s. constitution only the american president has the constitutional right to either initiate or to abrogate the treaty of the house has no power at all in that regard and the senate is only to advise and consent and what's happening now is you've got

a very weak an american president and congress even though it's a resume party is pushing hard at him and it's a game of jockeying for control in the capitol so much of what you read in in these bills is for want of a better word huffing and puffing does not like the much won't come of it because they're moving to a point where it would be in constitutional so i would say don't take this too seriously ms many many more steps before any good will get to the president's desk and you know president has already come out and said that congress has included unconstitutional provisions in a sanctions bill against russia so do you think this legislation will stir up even more friction between president trump and congress. oh yes yes it will and i would be the first to say i cannot no one can predict what's going to happen with this. remarkable person as the american president we are we americans are or watch it

like it's a cheap television drama but getting back to where we really want to talk about which is that what the congress did regarding the international treaty on intermediate range weapons this is extremely the whole idea of us. ever getting the treaty is extremely dangerous and it comes on decades of this dangerous game between the u.s. and russia getting more and more dangerous i mean we move the better the borders of nato closer to russia russia invades ukraine and syria both sides are wrestling for power in the middle east you kick our diplomats out we kick your ass and now the u.s. congress wants to abrogate the treaty that has helped keep the world safe since nine hundred eighty seven claiming that russia has already abrogated in there for we have to do the same now what concerns me most is that does anyone remember how the first world war started. leaders of both sides seem to think if they can contain

all of these aggressive moves each side of history shows that that's not so certain and going back to how they want to prove the treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons this past july and as we mentioned you know japan along with nine countries with nuclear capabilities declined so u.s. ambassador to the u.n. to hailey however say defended the absence of the u.s. from the saying quote there is nothing i want more for my family to have a world with no nuclear weapons we have to be realistic is there anyone who thinks that north korea would ban nuclear weapons so what are your thoughts on what michael he said. well she's talking about north korea and she. that's we're dealing there with what appears to be a completely. irrational regime so she may be right i don't like the idea of the u.s.

walking away from any talks on making the world safer as i'm sure ambassador halley would agree my chief concern is that with all of this not only north korea but particularly the u.s. and russia remember you are in north korea has maybe twenty warheads and a totally unreliable guidance system the u.s. has two thousand russia has two thousand and very accurate and sophisticated guidance systems we should be way more worried about whatever getting the i.n.f. treaty does to endanger the fate of the planet than what's going on in north korea and i think people need to understand that and what concerns me most natasha if i may say so is that the leaders of both sides that is to say the u.s. and russia seem to be acting like a couple of fifteen year olds who are driving cars as fast as they can at each other in a game of chicken and the first one who swerves loses the game i mean you've got trump with his crunching handshakes and is infuriating tweets and you've got mr

putin with his bare chested make ations it doesn't take a psychiatry's to see that both men are really saying excuse my language most that my blank blank body part is bigger than yours i mean this is ridiculous it's absurd it would be comical if it weren't so dangerous now there have been efforts in the past the cartel of nuclear test for such as the partial nuclear test ban treaty of one thousand six hundred three and share familiar but this effort obviously didn't eliminate it so and your eyes is there something bad is this something that should be eliminated nuclear arms is this something that can be dealt with then and a better way than we are right now yes of course of the idea it would be. to eliminate them completely but i'm not a crazy idealism you know that will probably never happen but at least we shouldn't be moving in the other direction we have reduced active nuclear warheads on russia's side and the us side are now down to around two thousand that's

a small fraction of what they were when i was working for a nation's nuclear planning group so we made some progress and now we're seem to be going in the other direction and the russian people deserve better the american people deserve better than war only here is better than to have both sides behaving so irrationally and led by leaders and i must be blunt here who seem to be behaving like those crazy fifteen year olds racing fast cars at each other yes the russians and the united states are going to compete we're going to compete in the middle east we're going to compete everywhere then that's fine but surely there must be sane people on both sides sane responsible people on both sides who can challenge this competition to do ways that don't risk the entire fate of the planet while you're at a time thank you so much for your insight john graham former u.s. diplomat and member of nato as nuclear project will be appreciate your time thank you. u.s. appeals court threw out former blackwater contractor nicholas a slave pens purser

green murder conviction and overturned three other former blackwater contractors sentences on friday and a two to three decision the court said the four are still guilty of murdering thirty one iraqi civilians in two thousand and seven when they started pouring a machine gun fire in to stop a civilian cars at a baghdad traffic stop all three of the four we sentenced overturning the thirty year long mandatory sentences that they received for committing a felony with a federal weapon circuit judge judith rogers said the a pill for all four quote lacked any merit whatsoever she added that the thirty year sentences were quote appropriate point out none of the other blackwater security forces there fired their weapons during their twenty fourteen trial no witnesses testified to the four blackwater contractors being under any threats when they opened fire on the thirty one civilians they murder. and coming up next on our teens who are killed in baltimore shootings while the city was under

a seventy two hour cease fire got that report after this short break. all the world's a stage and all the news companies nearly players but what kind of parties are anti american plate party america offers more artsy america personally. many ways to use landscape just like you see the real new big city actors bad actors and in the end you could never hear all. the parking all the world's a stage all the world's all the world's a stage we are definitely a player. people

have got to know whether or not fair presenter supply american people deserve to know what precious at this point does it may must guard against the military industrial war we shall never let go. or should know that. yes we do but we're not going to think. i'm john harshman i'll give you what the mainstream media can't so big picture. a little and when question mark find what you're looking for this little.

dog. will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. baltimore has seen more than two hundred homicides this year and experts predict that number will continue to rise the baltimore city police department says it's doing all it can to combat the violence it will need the help of the community to make a difference so over the weekend activists called on a ceasefire wasn't as successful as they had hoped it would be here is r.t. correspondent ashley banks with more forty hours into the baltimore cease fire a twenty four year old man was fatally shot saturday afternoon and just a few hours later a thirty seven year old was shot and killed as well baltimore police are now investigating two homicides two homicides the city was hoping you'd want to see

this weekend last friday erica bridge for the coordinates there of the action took to the streets of west baltimore to promote as a seventy two hour cease fire and to encourage citizens to refrain from violence for three days all the violence to not completely stop in the city bridge forensic positive stating on facebook baltimore's goal with seventy two hours of no murder and ten minutes from now baltimore would have seen forty one hours of peace from friday to saturday plus twenty six hours of peace saturday to sunday which you created to sixty seven of seventy two hours without murder many commented on bradford's post saying encouraging things and that this was still an awesome outcome regardless i also spoke with the bridge furred during the cease fire last week take a look america is an extremely violent place right this is one of the most violent places on earth and the structure of it is designed to keep some people at the bottom of that structure so when you see that bomb with power of course the people

at the bottom of your socks are going to use the same strategies to gain their power with that they see what the fact of that structure and so whether it's going violence will be. having arguments and i know you had a little bit of conflict with people fail this is how we're going to go with violence violence is america's culture baltimore is on pace to set a homicide record this year surpassing the numbers recorded back in two thousand and sixteen and twenty fifteen and first say homicides have risen in the city due to the twenty fifteen death of twenty five year old freddy great gray died while in police custody from a spinal cord injury he sustained during his arrest now in twenty fifteen the f.b.i. ring to baltimore as the second u.s. city with the highest murder rates we spoke with baltimore city police department spokesman p.j. smith well lots of the youngest brother to gun violence last month take a look. we get calls every day from local media national media want to know what the homicide count is homicide count it was human beings the meekness families that

are connected to each other and yes the number one seventy three was my brother d.r.g. smith and it's still something that hurts the most in a couple of days past when that incident occurred and it's tough but as i've done since i've been in baltimore i'm. a mouthpiece for not only the police but in the for the community and for the victims about and from baltimore mayor catherine pugh weighed in saying quote over six hundred shootings in less than a year in our city and something has to give and so we are trying to protect the citizens of our city and make sure that we curb the violence and our city baltimore city police commissioner kevin davis has created district action teams comprising of officers and supervisors these teams have been deployed to different districts in the city in order to cut down on the violence and an organization called cease fire three sixty five is aiming to ensure that violence ceases to exist in the city

all year round and washington ashley banks the r.t.e. will print more died in chicago as a result of shooting violence over the weekend twenty eight more were wounded in a city struggling with a climate of murder rates among the three killed between saturday night and sunday is fortune or old damion centaur you a thirty three year old man and a thirty nine year old also died from shooting violence over the weekend all this weekend brings the total number of people shot in chicago to two thousand two hundred fifty six and marks the four hundred fifteenth murder for two thousand and seventeen officials recorded seven hundred sixty two murders and chicago last year and it discussed more we bring in ronald hampton retired d.c. metro police officer thank you so much for joining us. ronald i mean as an a to retired police officer what is your main takeaway going back to baltimore you know . this cease fire wasn't as peaceful as they hoped it would be but do you still see it as some kind of success oh absolutely absolutely in community must and has to be

involved in the process in order for it to be sustained across the board the young lady is in the founder of the group has a point in the sense that diluting the valance does that take place in the sally every single day for example for the homeless people that's a form of bound that's when you can that's a form about when you don't have a decent school education that's a form of valance and so at the bottom you see the pushback on the whole idea but you also see the internalization of the process in terms of what happens around you so i'm hopeful and optimistic that the community is involved in it because that's who needs to be involved in and work on loans at the police even the police aren't going to be involved in the community have to do it because that's where they live you have to be concerned and vested in that process and that's what has to happen in chicago chicago isn't any different in baltimore because we've had those. little

micro balun an egg experiences in people's lives incidents of internal logic in the pushback on the whole idea let's put it i think it's going to i think we're going to see some action in terms of the kind of thing to happen oh yeah one of the community leaders brought up the fact that they you know baltimore cannot afford you know these wrecks in our programs in these afterschool programs but now they're paying for it with violence and you think the same thing in chicago i mean yes maybe they can afford these programs but it will affect their community in the long run in a lot of miles absolutely i mean even here in washington d.c. and in sort of the cities the urban cities is a microcosm of what's happening in the states period where we see these was inundated with recreation clerks and all those kind of things young people here some to do so now we don't have them but we have taken most resource. they moved them in other areas we have young people people move into our city and they're entitled to in the taman another things too but it should be at the cost of

stripping the resources out of the communities for young people that have traditionally had opportunities to be involved in those in those stay in those kind of activities so when you see the laws in one community do seen again another young people in those communities are saying well why are they taking away from markham your western marcum unit suffer is dog in the pushback is that what i'm going to go see what it is that's gone on over there and then unfortunately the kind of thing to happen but resources a key and so they're going to have to invest the resources in those communities that have traditionally been there and figure out that is the better the hair those resources then to be counting badges and people set from people wounded or from gunshot and as your experience as a retired officer what is the main takeaway when you're talking about violence

prevention do you have any advice for secada in baltimore anything you witness here in d.c. that can apply to either of those places the involvement of the community and i think you're beginning to see that they realize that they that the community can sit back and expect the police to do all those things there's a simple exercise i used to do i would say well to a community how many police officers live in that community and most of the police officers in our city don't live in the city but the people who live in the community have a vested interest in peace and tranquility in the community in the only way you're going to do it is that you had to step up a new claim it is not going to just happen you have to step up and claim investor obligation we have to one another who live next door to each of in the communities and residents of the city and so i think they're on track to do in those kind of things where they were last what they. must do but we must saw the multiplier across the city and bring people men to be do it because it's going to be done

they're going to do it depolarize department isn't going to be able to do it because the police can't be there all of the time and they do have a job though and we need to hold them accountable as it relates to the job of public safety but the community has to be vested in the process and so we're beginning to see those kind of thing they're talking about death in chicago or so and i'm very optimistic about trying to be able to bring the valance down there we're going to have to do something about the guns and now sadly sue i mean we just can't continue to talk about this with the periphery in the of the guns that we have another gun for everybody who lived in the american did not think that there's not going to be valorous associated with death rather than the ridiculous and there's that the se about the black market that's true that's true so we have to somehow know if you want to get a gun if you're a young person living in india these areas and you want to go and you can get a gun and it doesn't cost no five six hundred dollars even and you don't know where that gun has been used before either so that's that's that's or so the cats went

into for the young people but you know as young people in washington d.c. baltimore chicago they're carrying guns a lot of talent because they used to mass protection for themselves because they don't want to be out the indian be subject to the kind of values that takes place in the community if you don't live in this particular community and young people are very mobile these days so they carry a gun for protection so they find themselves sometimes in the situation where they have to use to protect yourself but you don't know who had a gun come from so we're going to have to do some above the gun but healthy communities healthy schools healthy housing healthy communities mean that we're going to be that we're going to have public safety and communities are going to be healthier as a result of it and also having athletes officers that are also. with a community. that's absolutely important that the police be connected to our community and not just in terms of them work in the but they need to know who lives

in their community they need to knock on some doors they need to try to talk to the people who live in those communities about the issues that taken place because most police officers don't live where we lived so you can assume that because you wear uniforms that you know what to do nor can you have to know because you wear uniforms that people are going to gravitate towards you just because you the police that means you have to expand every child just fell into which you don't in this going to come to you i was glad that i was a police officer in the city i'm very honored to be but i was born and raised in the jews' defragged outworn raised in washington d.c. to engage people and be a part of the commune i still lived it wasn't as you see this is where i want to be so i think that that makes a difference when you're talking about public safety as well and to engage in the community but everyone has a role and they need to be more engaged in their role if we're going to have true

public safety as always we really appreciate your insight thank you thank you very much i'll have to retire in d.c. metro. and coming up on r.t. and you study shows that fracking related to earthquakes in a home and then make natural quakes in the states that are experts to give you the full story coming up next. there's a real irony going. wrong place in the point where it's always. it's always. easier for every you know wholesale surveillance you feel you have all meanwhile there's a limit to size in the sense that it's use the source of oil and always on the story because it's garbage real. i've. got the politicians to do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to

express. some want to. have to do it for us this is what the three of the people. interested in the way. they should. think the average viewer just after watching a couple segments understands that we're telling stories there are critics can't tell me you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when

a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. in a matter of just twenty eight hours a whopping seven sequential earthquakes have rocked the state of oklahoma and they all ranged in magnitude of from two to five and thankfully no significant injuries or damage was reported however many were inconvenienced as one quake caused one thousand six hundred residents in northeast edmond to lose power scientists with the u.s.g.s. have noted a significant rise in induced seismic activity. with wastewater injection during the oil and gas development and for more insight we bring in adapter is actor ryan

holden brand chip scientist officer at in-form environmental thanks so much for joining us thanks for having me and what have you come across in your research regarding their relationship between underground injection wells and induced earthquakes while there is a growing body of scientific evidence that is illustrating the link between these induced earthquakes these anthropogenic earth quakes and underground injection wells this is been highly documented in oklahoma kansas and northern texas and we also have evidence that shows that the actual stimulation process of hydraulic fracturing also known as fracking can trigger these earthquakes in parts of canada we know that this is not occurring on a systematic level in that you know they're not all underground injection wells trigger earthquakes and that it is largely dictated by the subsurface geology and also the pressure in which these underground jets malls are shooting this waste

fluid into the subsurface and is there any proof that had relic fracturing can really trigger the earthquakes. well there was a recent publication in science where they had done some monitoring in alberta canada that actually did show that stimulation by a hydraulic fracturing of unconventional oil and gas wells had triggered these induced events so yes well a majority of these engines earthquakes are occurring by underground injection wells there is also president of the small fraction of them occurring from stimulation and explain twist what these sites make seismic events are and what they have to do with recycling weight. so basically when you we're talking about unconventional oil and gas development again we're looking at oil and gas production here and as a result of these activities you're going to produce a lot of waste fluids these come back in the form of what are called produce water

and flow bath water and this waste is really a complex mill you naturally occurring radioactive material in organic compounds salts metals minerals and any of the chemical additives that they used to stimulate the well so obviously there's a tremendous impetus to hammer this waste intelligently and responsibly now a majority of this is done through these underground directional so they're basically they take this waste and flow back to the surface taken in a truck and then take it to a underground injection well also known as the salt water disposal well and then they pump it into a really deep layers for ata you know far away from any drinkable groundwater where it can be sequestered now this is been a primary form of with disposal primarily because of the simple economics and convenience however we're really seeing is a paradigm shift towards more of a recycling and reuse of this weighs so again you've got off raters now who are

taking this produce wage running it through multi-unit layer mods. ular filtration system and then being able to use what it comes on the back end for stimulation and subsequent well so the cost is always going to hit him before but you're seeing operators get the cost down lower and lower those becoming more economical and certainly greater environmental stewardship to do it that way as opposed to these injection wells interesting and still why is the proper management of this place so crucial. well because again it's really complicated in terms of the composition you have heavy metals in there you have naturally occurring radioactive material you have chemicals that are known carcinogens and so to take out waste and simply just dump it into the ground and let it slip into the subsurface i mean that is incredibly irresponsible and one method of disposal is in fact putting it into just

they just dig a hole in the ground then they line it with you know just some some plastic lining and then they pour the solution in there and then they just let the vast aeration pay place and a lot of the chemical deval collide by u.v. radiation now you can understand why that's not the preferred method in that you know the liners can rip any kind of thing can happen rain for example can wash out these and then you have that the solution leeching into shallow groundwater so you have these underground injection wells which again the majority of which are safe i mean they're not contaminating groundwater because there are multiple layers of protective casing that are protecting the preferred this process penetrates through but occasionally when there is too much pressure and under the right geological conditions you have this fluid that is lubricating these fault lines and then they fall cliff and then you have these earthquakes so again if we are to practice unconventional oil and gas development responsibly we have to get better about

waste management and we need to be having a smaller reliance on these injection wells and pushing the equilibrium closer to water recycling and reuse and that information thank you so much that's dr zacharia held in brant scientific officer at inform environmentally appreciate your time and very much i said. after a six week long trial including five days of deliberation for a big former executive. who was found guilty on fraud charges friday attorney chavez joins us live from our new york studio to talk a little bit more about this case going on so trinity what are the charges that he's facing. the toughest squarely is facing up fraud charges he see a long before he became notorious for raising a life saving drugs five thousand percent he worked in hedge funds he managed the capital of s.m.b. health care prosecutors accused him of lying to investors and cheating them out of

ten million dollars at least they say that he ran a ponzi scheme using investor money to start a drug company called retrofit incorporated and on friday a jury found him guilty of three counts of securities fraud but he was acquitted of fraud charges related to retrofit but that's where prosecutors say the biggest losses occurred that. and so do we know exactly how much investors have lost at this point. well there's an interesting twist here because corelli alternately did pay back investors and then some squarely said that his investors actually made a three to three to five times more than the original investment that they put forth some of them made up to ten times more and in the four years that all of this transpired squarely claims to have only made at thirty one thousand five hundred dollars but the fact that investors actually made money just complicates the case but defense attorneys definitely use that to their advantage and despite the three

guilty verdict squarely said they he sees this as a victory let's take a listen. why did. the time. rob peter to take the jury spoke in. truth it was not. like three to drop. the world. now documents presented in the court show that squarely lied about everything from the value of the funds that he managed to the performance of the funds atocha so trinity definitely an interesting turn of events in this case so what are the next steps for karoly and are there any plans for an appeal absolutely is squarely says that he and his team have uncovered new facts and evidence since the start of the trial that are much more compelling which will be presented in his appeal although squarely can face up to twenty years in prison his attorney ben brafman says that he will seek much less even possibly no

jail time even took to you tube over the weekend to discuss the trial and its plans for an appeal let's take a listen. i think in appeal and a supposed trial motions there is there some chance of getting rid of these three counts i think one of them for sure with no doubts of the remaining two. we'll see maybe we'll win on appeal maybe i won't but assuming i won't united states had some guidelines would suggest you're a six months of incarceration which i think is a pretty good outcome. now squirrely went on to say how he feels that this has a largely that he has largely defeated the government and goes on to say on a scale of one to ten if one was a complete acquittal and ten was a complete conviction he rates his victory to the top all right thank you so much that's true chavez live from new york thanks so much. over two hundred fifty islamic extremists have recently come back to france after fighting in iraq and

syria well some have been arrested and the courts are currently plowing through the cases of others but numbers were revealed by the french interior minister who also pointed out the terror threat remains extremely high an attempt to try and rein in extremism france had opened its first day radicalization center nearly a year ago but the facility has already hit the buffers. bensky reports. it was billed as. we just wanted. was the country's. radicalization center when it opened last year. was here. this is rehab for extreme meth once inside psychologists say it will provide therapy and counselors will teach students about this isn't ship.

thing this center should be located somewhere much less populated there is a school just eight hundred meters away i don't think it's an intelligent move to put the ridiculous nation center next to a nuclear power station it's terrifying and i'm against it and least they're trying to fix the problem but it's about a kilometer away from the nuclear plant. they aren't terrorists they have only been interrogated and sawed by police. we're been told that evidently there wouldn't be any violent people but there would be only those who are the early stages of radicalization. but just months later the shutters are down so we're. at a cost of two point five million

a year knowing that people were treated none finished the course one resident sent it was even a respite for having links to behind the paris. take . a single person is being radicalized so did they spend. money. it is a complete fiasco everything is to be rethought everything is to be reconstructed. to people to me putting it to me yes i would say this is a fiasco. money spent this way is a waste so many other things to do but to spend it on radicalized people know there are other associations and other centers to spend money on. this could not have turned out. this way just people and convincing them to think the other way or to

see differently there are four or five people this is too expensive and residents say. that the center it's closed because it's nothing but. i was against this center from the beginning and i am happy to. not have been here there's a nuclear plant near here. i think was inappropriate for the discourse to the town to the kids this is just close to houses not very secure and were not a problem. we did not receive any information many people sold their houses because of the center. a complete failure is how many people are describing these projects a many and now left wondering if a concrete solution to the estimated fifteen thousand citizens who have been radicalized in this country. called to me france

one of the biggest trending stories of the year made international headlines last week and well it turns out to be fake news a researcher at facebook is slamming what he calls irresponsible and alarmist reports claim a social network shut down an artificial intelligence experiments after robots developed their own language but to separate fact from fiction we cross live to argue a point in miami so marina facebook took a lot of heat last week after media outlets reported that the company abandoned experimental chat program after ai's developed their own language so was this not the case well researchers at facebook artificial intelligence research lab did see two ai's develop their own language to communicate with one another but that was reportedly expected to happen during the experiment which facebook says was never shut down the social media firm was experimenting with teaching to chop bots alice

and bob how to negotiate with one another at some point the bots deviated from script inventing new phrases without any human input according to researchers the ai agents as they refer to figured out how to pretend to be interested in something they didn't actually want the bots were reportedly left alone to develop their conversational skills when researchers returned they found the ai software had begun to deviate from normal speech countless news reports claimed facebook shut down the experiment after the chop bots developed their own language the story which was reported posted and repeated for days well it was not. true it was false according to a post by dearth of an artificial intelligence researcher at facebook his team analyze the reward function and change the parameters of the experiment which he says is not the same as unplugging or shutting down a guy scientists and investors such as stephen hawking elon musk and bill gates

have repeatedly categorized artificial intelligence as a threat to the human race which if left on regulated could take off on its own and redesign itself and it could an increasing rate the researcher from facebook said this did not happen interesting so marina even the mainstream media got it wrong and facebook did not shut down the experiment doesn't it still demonstrate how technology is redefining our understanding of what was once believed to be human like language. absolutely the fact that machines will make their own non-human ways of conversing is a reminder of how little is known even when it's humans designing the systems allowing your car to talk to your phone which can talk to your refrigerator may eventually create a world of convenience but the trade off could mean that humanity would have no clue what those machines are saying to one another there are no bilingual speakers

of ai and human language today's bots like syria and alexa can manage short exchanges with humans and they could also do simple tasks like booking a restaurant but they did not make would significantly change of countless series and alexa's began communicating with each other in a way we were not able to understand fascinating maria important in miami for us thank you so much thank you and speaking of artificial intelligence starbucks wants to know your name your birthday and now it seems everything about your coffee behavior through the use of you guessed it artificial intelligence no big deal right legal and media analyst on the media says yes it's a very big deal so lionel fill us in on why this is a concerning matter. the last thing that starbucks one so are cares about and i don't want to talk about starbucks per se but just just the whole world that is

your money habits or how that can make natasha your your day happier what can we do natasha tell us about yourself tell us when you come in and how much you make it and could you would you would you take one of our apps to we're trying to help you it's not about us there's an old expression if you have something free online you're not the customer you're the product because what we're doing right now in this world of data mining and metal analysis is do we nothing but sucking up every bit of information about you and you might think because i know you you're saying very cleverly what am i what who cares what my what my coffee drinking habits are what does that have to do that's not what this is about this is information about you spending habits raise demographic what you do little by little you're providing information and when you have supercomputing today the

likes of which we and even comprehend that is able to colin deal with through med analysis data mining gem it is the most profoundly important commodity there is one day we are going to have if it's not already here now companies that start off who don't really care about the product they just want the day that they'll just do something about old jeans five were a jeans company or a coffee cup of the word yoga company it doesn't matter i want the data that's what that's what fuel our new world our new commerce our new society just like when you give away your e-mail when you get something free at you know some events they just want your and formation it sounds like and so in your opinion why isn't a guy just a nicer and more efficient way of getting consumer fax. one of the things that

people have to forget is this idea that ai artificial in television's artificial intelligence does not mean a nice little robot you know that robot mystique is one that kills me because we're so silly we see a cute robot that we think it's like a puppy at a petting zoo all cute artificial intelligence basically learns about you you see that right there that's our downfall because we're idiots when it comes oh how cute that's not a machine that's the enemy that is the enemy that is a trojan horse but what artificial intelligence does is the first thing it does it tries to replicate itself number one number two it tries to take as much information that you have if i could bring george orwell right now he'd be dead of course but if i could somehow revive him and if i could say you know what we do mr orwell we have we have devices these things that we constantly carry with us these are surveillance techniques that we have that we we pay hundreds of

so that we could be surveilled and then when we go to any store we have an app and everything about it the tags have ever been someplace on your phone and it says have you been here lately or you're at home when you're talking and on your laptop all of a sudden that thing you were talking about there's a google ad i didn't type that in isn't listening to me yes it's so data it's about the commodity today met a day there and met analysis and data mining is the is the currency for everything somewhere there is a da ca on you that would. put together a portrait of you even you don't know every parameter of your life likes dislikes political persuasion money a where you go how long are their friends everything you have. been providing this

data so when you go to dog adulthoods or starbucks and they ask you for something similarly and ask us it's not innocuous keda carry new world think you sound like a lamb one media we really appreciate your time as always thank you. and before we go don't forget to tune in at nine pm for at larry king now tonight's guest is a comedian and radio host and activists russell brand and here's a snippet of life to come what do you think of our present the across the pond i met and i'm sure you've met him a number of lines of it you know what i think is what is determining the numerous global political changes of our time is people of government despair of a lack of authenticity people are sensing that people the political figures are not real a lack of integrity what orwell would call to the double speak the language that is superficial and donald trump ninety many things and he almost certainly is but what you also is is authentic i think he really was going to nominate them because

because we have also our society that i don't think philosophy and authenticity necessarily correlate larry i think that when donald trump says like a clip about race or glib about gender even if you think on god i don't agree with what he's saying or agree with what he's doing compared to other figures the occupy the political landscape he has a kind of veracity the only other figures that happy are and i think jeremy corbyn in this country is an orphan to command but i would agree that he's a principled and beautiful human being and he saw this in your country seem like he had a kind of integrity but was stifled in kentucky and marginalized by this political process and i think that i think that that was anticipated to use a ludicrous pun trumped the political turn is this. same to more appealing to

all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of partners are into the american play r.t. america offers more american personnel. many ways to use the landscape just like if you really use big city actors. you could never you're on. some other part. of the world all the world's a stage we are definitely a player. there is a woman as a comic known for poopy jokes and. this is what you get famous for this is what i

liked her for this is what she got a lot of money for making a joke but she is also now the comic who is also now famous for calling bernie sanders supporters ridiculous yep the poor b. joke comic is the same one who all of a sudden decided that she knows anything about politics at all to the point where she got all dolled up with makeup in a fancy hairdo in a fancy dress and diamond earrings and she took the stage at the democratic national convention last year where she decided to tell bernie sanders supporters that they were being ridiculous by standing by their candidate and not just getting blindly behind hillary clinton this woman who got rich and famous for telling jokes told everyone who wasn't supporting hillary that they were being ridiculous as if somehow telling jokes for a living qualifies her to know anything about politics that are so that was last year because of this year when gosh when you know it but c.n.n. is now helping sarah silverman promote her new show on hulu which she swears won't

be political you guys you see is the in and has a show called the history of comedy which features people's the n. and they get those important for some reason and silverman was a part of their latest episode of the news network tweeted about it to promote the show and they featured a clip of silverman talking about how she was a bedwetter this is i guess to show people she's going back to be jokes or something so last year silverman sanctimoniously got up at the d.n.c. and had the nerve to tell people who to vote for and if they didn't they were being ridiculous which is a major political thing to do and this year seven minutes. it's all about the jokes again and apparently she has the support of both c.n.n. and hulu because the and then just had her on their history a comedy show and who little just gave her a new show. the funny thing is silverman is trying to pretend like she's not going to be political even the rolling stones headline about her new show was literally there are silverman to take on donald trump in new weekly show so silliman tells

america to not be so ridiculous you guys are just vote for hillary and for that she gets rewarded with air time from c.n.n. and a brand new show on hulu that's not a joke it's reality and to me that is. i'm going to do just that but you're watching all of. us swashing.

i do not know if the russian state cock into john podesta e-mails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing planned three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied to be n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the u.s. . the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an echo for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the invasion of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable.

greetings and salutation. as the classic rolling stones song says you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes yes you might just get what you need while hawk watchers in the theater of twenty first century war invasions based on lives and high paid trigger happy mercenaries a lot of the times you you never get what you want new most definitely definitely never get what you need this is exactly the case for many in iraq today after a u.s. federal people's court threw.
