unknown whether john doe ever went to panama but experts believe that to secure the required information he'd have needed detailed knowledge of most like phone seconds internal working patterns. the taxation panama city is a typical latin american city with suburban slums and glittering downtown skyscrapers. panama which formerly had out of percent employment because of the construction of all of these huge buildings in the downtown area which were all being built with laundered drug profits it's common to consider the panama canal as an artery that

nourishes the country's budget every year more than fourteen thousand ships use the route to transport millions of tons of cargo grain from china soy from brazil. sugar from cuba and oil from venezuela and everyone pays pays pace. but experts is certain the canal is not panama's main source of income by fuck the many years the country has held second place in the informal tax haven rankings and for good reason. it really has no. banking industry which is known for anything other than its secrecy it doesn't have a lot of natural resources to export it's not known for being a location where one could generate a lot of business but it is a jurisdiction where people can operate in obscurity kenna three is

those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone has signed up to the flag and poisoned by our own people i've seen stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection

went back to the night not the president of the world bank hey i'm going to write me seriously send us an e-mail. because they are impatient the u.s. army now on the lookout for software so they can automatically post messages on social media stoking fears it could be used for unrest. going to this is our diplomatic double whammy from president trump first by pulling out of next month's u.k. visit of the new u.s. embassies location coming up and then two it's reported he launched into a rant against in the group. top girls school in britain decides it's time to stop labeling its peoples's girls with a controversial gender neutral policy now hear from some of the locals there and what they think about it. we take a listen think girls are girls and boys of course there's too many pressures on
11:21 am
staff to attend to and with gender neutrality. good afternoon for kevin i mean this is artsy life from age to moscow one welcome to you first in the u.s. army's planning we hear some old line maneuvers on the hunt for a software tool which can fire off automatic responses on social media apparently to test reactions potentially try to sway opinion as get more detail or correspondent is across is. this something a bit more sophisticated the current technology of the classic kind of stuff the classic bots have been out there for ages as we know performing their autumn are automated tasks on the internet and we know what they're usually used for that
11:22 am
sending out spam messages or performing hack attacks but uncle sam looks at looks like he's something after soaring something else if. go online and check out the u.s. federal business opportunities website and you can come across a request from pentagon from earlier this week that really caught our attention the u.s. army once a software system that will be capable of translating between languages most notably russian korean farsi and arabic and we all kind of things are there really that is not like an automatic translator that is true but hold on i haven't gotten to the list of the full requirements to tool is meant to understand and know how to use correctly things like dialects slang and even a mole g.'s plus it must be a tool that is capable of analysis and the things to be analyzed are these millions of posts comments replies and we know that they all can be dodgy and this case. how
11:23 am
do i hope to use this them do we know any more about the grand plan here the us military wants the system to communicate with other internet users and maybe not one hundred percent like a human being but somewhat close to just take a look at this requirement i got to put it out right here it is the ability to generate at least three or up to ten unique statements derived from the original social media statement while retaining the meaning and the tone of the original and again the software will monitor and analyze the m. packed of its own messages and then adjust plus it needs to be self-taught to learn from its all mistakes and then to improve and to upgrade and this of course provides immense unprecedented opportunities to manipulate opinion this news not without it so not only of course is sort of the heels of all the fuss that us leaders make you but accusations of other people doing the same kind of thing kevin at a time when news about russian trolls and bots are all over the place all over the
11:24 am
media the first question that i've asked the pentagon is what is there and tent and we actually sent our requests to them for. comment for now we didn't get any replies but the languages i.e. the regions that i've mentioned should give you a hint and also we've heard from a number of experts already that are saying that washington with this is just trying to increase its capabilities of influencing opinion online they're saying that something that they've been up to for years but again the sophistication of this particular new project is alarming because it's about sentiment and motion that kind of thing. to use the slang or. the because more thoughts on it we discussed the issue with n.s.a. whistleblower william binney and also with full room of five agent unemotional this is what they had to say about it. what they really want to do is be able to monitor royce communications or any kind of communications text and be able to assess it
11:25 am
and. check it for other threats or things like that or even. some from some of the manipulation programs even respond. and try to manipulate the other person at the other end so i mean our intelligence agencies have had this is one of their objectives white papers are generally circulated among contractors who do business with the government so it is a little unusual to see these things out in the public as far as i know the most obvious interpretation would be that this is a pushback against the allegations that have been made consistently for the last eighteen months about so-called russian troll farms and influencing elections across the west and it's interesting to see that the languages that they're advertising for are the language of iran and of course north korea and russia so that would be a bit of a sort of a way about which countries they want to be targeting. what we're talking about online tech to have ever felt that you're being ignored maybe on twitter maybe
11:26 am
you're being paranoid maybe not it could be down to the social network censoring you know without your knowledge an undercover investigation by anticorruption campaign group project veritas in fact as revealed there's a practice known as shadow banning. one. from one but you know. what i. think that you want to. well you know what's a bit more about this is according to project veritas a shadow hides the content of a particular user without their knowing basically the buz it continues to post on the platform to their followers but the tweets wouldn't appear anywhere else on twitter people in the video are said to be twitter employees claim the. measures target right leaning content with more of these revelations all the social media giant has presented itself as politically neutral but project veritas seems to
11:27 am
revealed otherwise according to several employees who've been caught on camera twitter regulates its content by controlling what its users can see on their feet now one of twitter's policy managers says that the company is currently developing a system that down ranks controversial users and another employee says twitter is trying to ban a certain way of talking online so it's going to. change the way you serve the things that. we've seen and you know. it's good to see them in the mindset of the way you twitter can also apparently dig into its users profiles and conversation history to figure out their political leanings and then determine whether or not they should be banned and another issue that came up was julian assange just twitter account and the fact that it was deleted without explanation a couple weeks ago but an employee was asked about it and he did hint at one possible reason. but.
11:28 am
we can't verify if these are real twitter employees are not and if they are they definitely could be lying but regardless the whole issue is definitely something to investigate further indeed well true twitter responded to the allegations saying it's committed to enforcing its own rules of bias and empowering every voice on the platform the group behind the revelations those going to mix reputation with very much as well critics a project for a test fails to provide an edited video of its bombshells as they come out with some going as far to say the group has got a strong political agenda we spoke to russell vonnie the executive director of project veritas than. it is twitter overstepping it well if they're sharing information with the federal government voluntarily i think i would think they would be overstepping however whenever you're ready as goes onto a website they agreed to the policies of that website and if you work through the part proxy policies of twitter it gives them the right to every bit of information
11:29 am
you have opposed to you do we do not have the right to sell that information given away so we're giving away an awful lot to these companies when they come out and publicly say they want to be the public forum for free speech yet they're censoring free speech and they're slanting what free speech can or can't be heard and then there's a problem staying with social media facebook posts helped capture a japanese gangland boss and be on the run for more than ten years.
11:30 am
one of britain's leading girls' schools has decided to stop referring to its peoples as girls now in a controversial move to adopt more gender neutral language seems altering the grammar school for girls defended the policy saying it's trying to breaking great habits here it's got the best intentions it says to help students with gender identity issues that we welcome and celebrate diversity all of the moves people
