10:15 am
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 a 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 jennifer is

10:17 am
his life one of the tricks of money laundering is if you can come in the front door and go around the back door and come in that way at the back door is closed you try the side or. the two thousand and eight economic crisis. turn some countries into paix these are the countries with we korea colonies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of low gloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work and it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline off to almost a decade how good are the results she saw all of it during peace with abiding people gathered in which to watch it all get people to see what i do and a choice. they'd be in full view she had to still claim what was i mean to for legal. challenge nothing more than this she did not i was always think casey's

family and not getting paid while the same mission is still in place to one of the consequences to weaken bluebirds food this movie will first be one of those was the truth the consider is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision makers. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but new forced signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people of seeing stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not the truck tires all types of styrofoam all polystyrene these batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate
10:19 am
every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would really literally send a be a pro and they don't want to pay it so the wady and decades a lot of those soldiers will die and. and they will. get the bill for the. delayed amount.

of the week's top stories in our. given ecuadorian citizenship but he remains holed up in the country's london embassy as britain insists he'll face arrest if he steps outside. to become america's online army of pentagon to develop software to automatically post messages and responses on social media and from. there is a 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 not international law look back at what's been happening over the last seven days now on thursday ecuador and i did it had
10:21 am
granted wiki leaks founder julian assange citizenship he's been holed up in the country's london embassy for five years and i often seeking political asylum but he still unable to leave is the u.k. refuses to grant him diplomatic immunity and says he. surrender and face justice or smith recaps the week's 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
10:22 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 or rather. we considering the option of mediation. don't have said that could be done virus to 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 son's 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 at making moves quite concerted moves to try and resolve the situation but the u.k.
10:23 am
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. well u.s. officials have refused to comment on the matter but as norah said there is speculation that if a stange does step out of the embassy and is arrested the u.s. may request his extradition we asked some people in ecuador they supported their government's actions. of going to war. for the most 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 dream team time trial process a prisoner without a fake sentence and with rights to defend i mean violated that's and we also got
10:24 am
the opinion of two activists and what could happen next june your son. basis on which the the u.k. authorities would arrest him apparently it's 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 is not 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

well let's just say the not so bad guys. in the strong position against opposing us interests. in other news this week it emerged on thursday that the u.s. plans to step up its activities on social media is now on the hunt for a software tool which can understand. online posts in different languages and potentially sway public opinion. discuss this with. the classic boss of been out there for ages and we know what they're usually used for that is
10:27 am
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 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 wants right now is a software system that will be able to translate between languages most notably russian korean farsi in arabic and we all know which countries these languages are spoken in 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 a guess is it's probably overused but what's it going to be used for potentially
10:28 am
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 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 adeline as 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. about online interference from other parties other countries really worth in the case where russian troll farms
10:29 am
and bots there are all over the media news about that some experts have already told us that it's part of the us 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 that are something alarming we did contact the pentagon for clarification on this and they got back to his two 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 to william binney and the former my five agent and he mashona about the push to develop advanced bots and they outlined some of the implications. what they really want to do is be able to monitor. communications or any kind of
10:30 am
communications text and be able to assess it and and check it for threats or things like that or even. 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 phone 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. so i don't try
