huge amount of data on the internet and or we also talked to n.s.a. whistleblower william binney and former five agent ali marshawn about the push to develop these advanced bots their lines some of the implications as they saw it. but 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 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 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 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 give away about which countries they want to be targeting. donald trump drew condemnation worldwide of the week just gone when it was reported on friday that he launched into a foul mouth rant in the oval office about immigrants several democratic lawmakers there with a claim the president indeed was deeply disparaging about people from central america and africa. middle. east as implicitly strong language to sell salvador and the other countries dignity with express our strong protests and the majestic. place such

a state it's good but i signed a petition on this incredible declaration because those supremacy of grace is the freshest expression like the ones that donald trump. these are. from the president united states. just north of working with greece's. trump took to twitter very quickly to annoy the did use those actual words but did admit that the language he did use in the meeting was tough. there was not a short trip to diplomacy two or. three was canceling next month's visit to britain he was due to open the new us embassy in london but pulled out he says over the cost of the location of the new building although it seems it could be more to.

this is what all the who is about is the new u.s. embassy in the area of nine elms which is being regenerated in sort of an embassy quarter. to the public next week donald trump was supposed to arrive in february or it was widely expected that you'd be cutting the ribbon and that's not happening any more clearly the old building of the u.s. embassy on that was on the sort of grand old square in the very heart of the city in the center of mayfair which many people know is the most expensive location on the monopoly board but the interesting thing about the president's tweets is that there was a slight error and he accused the obama administration of selling that old building for peanuts it was in fact the bush administration before him and there have been suggestions that this whole embassy is a way of diverting attention away from the fact that perhaps the president didn't feel like he was going to be particularly well come here in the u.k.

almost two million people here signed a petition against him coming here claiming perhaps the most british reason of all that it would. barris the queen donald trump arriving here and their marriage in london hasn't been seen welcoming either take a listen to what city khan has had to say about donald trump it appears that president trump got the message from the many londoners who love and admire america and americans but find his policies in action the polar opposite of our cities values this just reinforces what a mistake it was for it's a reason made to rush and extend an invitation of a state visit in the first place maybe time though donald trump did kind of appear that new embassy there is is it kind of realistic yes it's a works work of course got a lot of the construction workers in the old passive by it's actually from london's money towards tussauds museum which couldn't resist the splendid marketing opportunity we spoke to see a local labor party official who says it's clear trump cancelled because he's

worried about facing protests we know that it's because he was going to face you know huge protests when he came here he's a deeply unpopular man decided to take and there were going to be hundreds of thousands maybe a million people on the street this is the kind of pressure the donald trump would be facing if he came over here and he doesn't have the spine to take that you know he as soon as someone insults him he's straight on twitter i don't think it's going to alienate his support base you know there are a lot of angry people out there and trump has manipulated bass and go into into a support base and he's been wholly disingenuous about it but he has managed to whip up a lot of just content about the the drawbacks of globalisation how globalisation is not working for everyone there are some left behind people and those left behind people flocked around truck in town the u.s. is also being called to account in europe the new ambassador to the netherlands has come under fire from journalists the very first news conference there he refused to

defend previous remarks on the influence of icily in europe and these not the only one trying to avoid the procedure as we pointed out in the week. but it doesn't fall. by issues that are not revisited you should know last year you said this is important is that something you believe your story. or not this is. why don't you i'm sort of question my answer because this is nothing works just one piece of the evidence you have to out on such crap. to use cluster weapons and this is not. good just pumping your wife but i guess there are no yes.

up and. straight ahead a bad message you certainly will want to see a false alarm about an income. in a why and what if a cover this weekend will tell you how that happened after the break.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. wanted. to do like to be the survivor before you know more people are. interested always in the logs. or sit. and watch of the week tuesday so behind me the kind of text alert you do not want to get from the government telling you to make a run for it because of missiles coming out but that's the message received by

people across so why last night spoke in public as people fled for cover. well took about half an hour for thora his wife to scramble to confirm that in fact there was nothing to worry about and that it was a false alarm a local congresswoman tweeted there is no incoming missile that message was sent inadvertently she said the authorities have apologized they said it was caused by an employee pressing a button by mistake the head of hawaii's emergency services explained why he knew it wasn't a genuine alert i saw this today when i heard a story i thought something was wrong it was a false alarm really because the tensions were not there to to start something like this i spoke to international affairs expert dr shriram chillier he told me the incident shows there's no confidence in the u.s. government to provide basic safety there is a lot of panic alarmism that's going on and the united states despite being

the superpower has been spooked by rocket man and i think the buildup in the media about the even and threat of jungle has drawn into the minds and the consciousness of people so even if it was a technical error and the wrong button that was first i think it shows how much it is not confidence in the american society and won't the government's ability to predict its own citizens and i don't how i don't want nor any of the other you want specific go to reste should have lots of sleep but they are and actually was that the scare tactics and the panic has risen so much that people are not willing to rely on their governments are security guarantees and i think it shows also the traumatic situations speedier to manage the not call your crisis in a bit that assures the american population of basic security.

only one who system is that we've stated as tensions group between the u.s. and north korea now the government's calling for a deescalation of the crisis earlier in the week the two koreas did hold the first official talks of course in more than two years that was big news in the which is gone artie's morgue as d. has been following them. it went well which is rare to hear these days when it comes to the korea's one north korea agreed to send a delegation to the winter olympics in pyongyang chang sportspeople performance for the cultural events it's simple if the north attends the olympics it's much less likely to stage a provocation launch another missile to family reunions relatives separated by the war that haven't seen each other for decades could be allowed reunions deck's month and three perhaps most importantly south korea has proposed

to face meetings between the north's and the south's military officials in order to deescalate tensions at long last alternately to denuclearize the peninsula it's a long shorts but it's a start with number one i think we should be engaged in these talks in an earnest sincere manner to give a new year's gift namely the results of the talks to the korean nation so. it will as you mentioned earlier we hope to bring a precious gift to your people but matches the expectations of our people it has been a chaotic year from escalation to escalation saber rattling and childish rhetoric near enough every month the u.s. and south korea would stage war games on the north's borders and send a message. they

even sent nuclear bombers to the north borders north korea was no less provocative and it tested increasingly advanced ballistic missiles stage suspected nuclear weapons tests and. it now reportedly has the capacity to hit mainland united states and kim jong un has boasted he has his own button and his desk is part of who is button is big contest with trump which is why these talks were so important they allow for a pause for hot heads to cool off and for titan fingers to ease off on the triggers. other stories we tracked in the week chin is here again still trouble there now it's announced a raft of social reforms following emergency meetings to try and calm days a worsening anti-government protests in the north african country police have been

escalating their crackdown using tear gas on protesters who've been growing increasingly angry over planned price and tax hikes further more than eight hundred arrests so far in a major demonstration is planned for sunday today to coincide with the seventh anniversary of the arab spring uprising there. the root of the unrest now the government's austerity plans for the impoverished nation they include rises in basic goods including fuel the unrest began around the same time as the anti-government demonstrations in iran but they went largely unnoticed by the west.

the title of the root of it is just a canard it's the problem of youth unemployment i personally haven't been able to find a job for a long time but if people have a job they don't have any problem with the government out of the demands of the following suspend the twenty eight team from in slow return to the original traces of goods and hire one member from every pool family these are in short. what happened yesterday is a violation of the law too says state of emergency has been declared in tunisia these protests are the result of operations that aim to review social unrest we are free nation and according to the constitution and human rights the people are absolutely free to criticize the government and even protest we've the government will definitely not tolerate some protesters who want to destroy public property or

disrupt public discipline. in the past week what has happened on the ground throughout the nation of iran is something the world must take note of it is a spontaneous expression of fundamental human rights the united states stands unapologetically with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves we will not be quiet. sociology professor side said told with the reason iran's protest got more coverage and she is here is that one is seen as the enemy of the united states. tunisia is on the military it's a small country not many people know about that in american. society in iran to many in america. i mean. in a major obstacle for american policy it's the hundred seventy nine in their case

all to you are very happy to look at any small detail that happens on any small quarters to inflated to look as if this is the end of the regime so it is totally different ports in covering tunisia. protest totally different. track of what was going on above our heads the week just gone to a space mission already started in secrecy is growing even more mysterious it's amid rumors about the fate of a top secret u.s. government satellite the reusable space x. rocket which launched it has safely returned to earth now but questions were asked over what happened to the payload the pentagon earlier refused to comment i would have to refer you to space x. who who who. conducted on march you spent four days. but that's the answer why do you have to i have to refer you to space x. which actually launch satellite which i mean doesn't make any sense minimal but

again that's that's that's the answer nobody knows what happened to it i would i will i will take that i'll come back to you and i'm all put the launch was streamed online and it only showed the initial launch stage breaking off when the rocket entered the atmosphere because the secrecy around the payload although it's normal practice to just show part of the launch it is strange not to hear any updates on the satellite for nearly a week after it supposedly left the earth now space x. has on the other hand commented on the launch saying not much but saying that they felt good nine rocket did everything as expected in a statement the company's president refused to comment further on the satellites failed because of its classified nature to live without thought. none the wiser always that's the way the week thanks for watching the weekly who are not kevin though and we've got more great programs lined up for you this weekend right after this break hope you can stay with us.

some animal rights activists are just upset that we eat meat period which makes no sense by the way because animals eat other animals and we're supposed to be equal with animals but suddenly they don't want to humans eating other animals so in a sense they're saying that animals have the right to eat other animals but humans don't have a right to eat other animals even though they think we're all equal so some of there's a logical inconsistency there. financial survival guide i don't buy any i caused common features. on almost a friday as of last summer my ex from the future trucker was kaiser. peabody i'm steven both on the task hollywood guy usual suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v.'s to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different on this day one could learn

a financial criminal the laundered for colombian drug barons and what i did was i don't this is all going to do we're going to ship it to panama. and from panama we're going to go ahead and ship it around the world and then bring it back to the ice base as legal money investments. i had to go to panama. one hundred times every week and i was in panama most real and very familiar with most excellent seka because they were basically. partners with you don't be the partners with these guys who wanted a longer millions and millions a million i would never be able to guess how much money went through panama. who leaked the information to journalists new ones also about these schemes.

mr dell. have a seat. he had a great c.v. in excellent references. i mean let's hear interest we are assembling and the team of lawyers. i think you fit in perfectly have you ever worked with a big database of course. are going to want a. couple of good men to run. wait a minute. l

l o. i. however sooner or later all things come to light money laundering experts. know that very well. i certainly. had to pay the price for it not just by spending two years in. federal custody but also. i lost my license to practice law for.

went to prison for as long as seven years but it seems that fate decided that wasn't enough punishment for him while laundering the drug lords money he didn't notice his wife and brother becoming cocaine addicts later his only son died of an overdose. i blame other people for what he did because he was able to get into that world when i was in here. i was in europe and then i was in prison and i was unable to supervise him or influence him long enough and i think he paid the price a lot of kids were lost paid if i had been here would have been different i don't know. twenty twenty sixteen the german newspaper. published its first story featuring his famous clients within a week the panama police had cordoned off the law offices. i mean.

when i had. i feel now why don't. we consult this has been a sucker employee for thirty years it seems he was even ready to work there for another thirty but everything changed a year ago. i see this and see. no sort those really need the money i carry more and we get on the most job putting him to one hour when your letter and this is a kind of is enough for you and yet they want to pass. for getting more corrupt than he was and that. luis marquez his business he owns a restaurant across the road has hit rock bottom along with most fun circus reputation.

over the last equestrian career most of. them when i need to know how fair that morning also they get when they know what i'm most most of them you'll know the moment i thought about how or what i would go in the end with found. the restaurant near among such fun circle was abandoned by its customers when the company was surrounded by angry clients. it's not hard to understand the millionaires and billionaires it wasn't just the size of the deals that went public on the web but the personal information to. the

company can only offer one on so we will act i love animals they might be they in the but i mean the as it were a form of the rally sound. as was muscle. then they thought or more you mean. but who could steal to enough terabytes of data without being noticed maybe. they must be some person who said yes did then go do that one day i came to be so i suppose the information. and probably this is a kind of person i know most of the passwords on the wall be and i know where to look. i can hear some noise. was.

definitely checked everything i think there's someone here. or there are. very funny. and.

come down nothing. well thailand is a great place to call act information and not necessarily from the local papers like the one i'm reading now. pepe escobar is an independent journalist and writer . he calls the panama documents a select club it was very striking there were no americans in the list specially but a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china that escobar is certain. all of the information has been carefully selected but who

by john doe the journalist who led the investigation or is it possible that someone else orchestrated events. in most twenty sixteen russian president vladimir putin's press secretary received a request from the international consortium of investigative journalists the following day dmitri peskov made a public announcement a large scale cyber attack against the president specifically and russia are in general is being prepared. yet another mudslinging publication that is meant to be objective and sensational is being prepared in the next few days. those next few days were long in coming. western journalists have practically cost russia's president in a leading role in the panama scandal despite the fact that his name isn't mentioned once and the most that phone secor archives. but the material did hold information about an old friend of the president's musician said.
