6:19 am
every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would really literally send a v.a. broke and they don't want to pay it so the waiting decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger to the decent model is. delayed and i hope you die.

the week's top stories in r.t. junior sound secure second door in citizenship but he remains holed up in the country's london embassy as britain insists he will face arrest if he steps outside also to america's online army r.t. learns of the pentagon plans develop software to automatically post messages and responses on social media and from the oval office outburst there is global backlash over the u.s. presence alleged crude remarks about immigrants from africa and central america. so i welcome you watching the weekly here in r.t. international our look back at what's been happening over the last seven days. now
6:21 am
on thursday ecuador announced it had granted wiki leaks founder julian assange citizenship he's been holed up in the country's london embassy for over five years now after seeking political asylum there but he's still unable to leave his the u.k. refuses to grant him to promote a community and says he must surrender and face justice nor smith recaps developments. billionaire sons posted a photograph of himself in an ecuadorian football shirt which gave rise to a lot of speculation about what that could mean he generally doesn't do things unless they mean something and then we saw reports surfacing from quito which said that he had received a national identity number so he's been entered into the tax register essentially which is something that will only happen to citizens of ecuador this follows a statement earlier this week from the foreign minister of ecuador saying that the situation of our son's living here in the embassy is unsustainable and asking for
6:22 am
the first time for a third party mediator either another country or another person to see if they could help to resolve this issue with a person can't live in those conditions. we're considering the option of mediation . of said that could be done via wristed country or individual. no solution is possible without international corporations and it's no wonder that she wants a resolution because of course it's been five and a half years since our phones first went into the embassy behind me cause there have been developments in his case along the line most notably possibly last year we didn't drop the investigation into sex allegations against him but the u.k. authorities still say that if he sets foot outside this embassy they will arrest him because he of course jumped bail when he went into the embassy and wiki leaks still fears and onward extradition to the united states so what we're seeing ecuador making moves quite concerted moves to try and resolve the situation but the
6:23 am
u.k. government still remains intractable on the issue even after all this time it's very unclear when and what will be the ending of this saga nor smith reporting well u.s. officials have refused to comment on the matter but there is still speculation that if songe does step out of the embassy and is arrested the u.s. may request his extradition we are some people in ecuador they supported their government's action. well but if you know it's vital to continue negotiating the situation is difficult being incarcerated for several years is dangerous to health we all know that the objective behind the trials and has nothing to do with us and all we can weeks there's a real possibility of extradition to the us. then i think it sounds was treated inhumanely during the entire trial process a prisoner without a fake sentence and with rights to defend i mean violated. and we also got the
6:24 am
opinion of two activists on what could happen next to judy in the sun which basis on which the u.k. authorities would arrest him apparently is for breaking bad conditions so the charges in terms of the case in sweden have now been dropped but absolutely maybe there will be an extradition attempt and various kind of international bodies have found when they've looked into it the chance of getting a free and fair trial in the u.s. of minimal i think that this is really a continuation of a very dangerous and wrongheaded policy to target whistleblowers julian is one of the biggest international whistleblowers and i think that they really want his head on a platter it's the worst kept secret in washington that julian is likely sleeted to begin working his way through the u.s. judicial process if you ever leave the embassy well despite being holed up in the embassy for over five years now he may have found

interpretation the game still be in progress but. in strong position against opposing us interests. that emerged on thursday that the us army does plan to step up its activities on social media it's now in the hunt for a software tool which can understand and respond to you online posts in different languages and potentially sway public opinion. discuss this with kevin that would. the classic bonds have been out there for ages and we know what they're usually used for that is sending out spam messages in some cases performing hacking attacks but it seems that uncle sam is after something much more sophisticated here if you
6:27 am
go online and check out the us federal business opportunities website you will come across a pentagon request from earlier this week and this was something that really caught our attention with the us army once right now it is a software system that will be able to translate between languages most notably russian korean farsi and arabic and we all know which countries these languages are spoken and the tool is meant to understand and know how to use correctly dialects slag and even a mode g.'s plus must be a tool that is capable of analysis all these millions of posts comments and replies and we all that these things can be really dodgy are to be at a loss for emotion and sentiment key question is again it's probably overused but what's it going to be used for potentially they want the software to be able to communicate with users online maybe not one hundred percent like a human being but somewhat close to that just take this requirement that i have
6:28 am
printed 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 again the software monitor and analyze its own impact from the messages that it sends then adjust plus it also needs to be self taught in a way that it can learn from its own mistakes and then improve an upgrade which provides potentially unprecedented opportunities for influencing opinion on life in a company you're going to notice the irony of this big plan is that saw on the heels of the us leaders complaining about all the. first of all an interference from other parties other countries really worse than in the case when russian troll farms and bats there are all over the media news about that some experts have already told us that it's part of a u.s.
6:29 am
campaign could be to expand their online influence in capabilities something that they have been up to for years but really the sophistication of this new project machines being able to analyze the emotions and the sentiment of comments online rather something alarming well we did contact the pentagon for clarification they did get back to this to you saying that the two would be helpful to them given the huge amount of data on the internet we also talked to the n.s.a. whistleblower william binney and the former m i five agent annie mashona about the push to develop sports and they outlined some of the implications. 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 and. check it for other threats or things like that or even. from some of the manipulation programs even respond. and try to
6:30 am
manipulate the other person at the other end so i mean all 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 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 give away about which countries they want to be targeting. now donald trump three condemnation worldwide when it was reported on friday that he launched into a foul mouth rant in the oval office about immigrants several democratic.
