the week's top stories for must see international julian assange has given ecuadorian citizenship but the u.k. refuses to give him diplomatic immunity to leave the ecuadorian embassy in london. to get six to expand its presence in cyberspace and develop software that can interact with foreigners on social media and target. trumps oval office outburst u.s. president faces a global backlash over offensive remarks allegedly made a bad image of africa el salvador and haiti.
1:21 pm
by their sunday afternoon here in moscow welcoming kevin owen here we live it r t h q with the weekly a roundup of the big stories of the last seven days first on thursday it was revealed wiki leaks founder julian assange should become an ecuadorian citizen though he's been holed up of course in the country's london embassy for over five years after seeking political asylum there but the u.k. believes the only change of address he deserves is one in a courtroom laura smith recaps the week's developments. in an ecuadorian football show. 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 thought reports surfacing from quito which said that he had received a national identity number say 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
1:22 pm
situation of our sons' living here in the embassy is unsustainable and asking for 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 it we want a person can't live in those conditions forever. we considering the option of mediation. don't have said that could be done virus it 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
1:23 pm
ecuador making moves quite concerted moves to try and resolve the situation but the 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 smith reporting for us in the week when u.s. officials refused to comment on the matter but the respect. does the embassy and is arrested the u.s. may request is extradition from revelations made by wiki leaks we also people over in her door if they supported the government's action. medical system. or. 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 has nothing to do with the son's or wiki leaks there's a real possibility of extradition to the us. i think it sounds was treated inhumanely during the entire trial process a prisoner without
1:24 pm
a fake sentence and with rights to defense i mean violated so we got to put in as well of two activists on what could happen next to julian assange is now in this next potential chapter and they are very optimistic 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. 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
1:25 pm
begin working his way through the u.s. judicial process if you ever leave the embassy or despite being holed up in that embassy for five years no he may of found a new way to entertain himself potentially those cryptic tweets seem to be a new favorite pastime.
1:26 pm
i think. the black pieces are the bad guys in the world let's just say the bad guys run. the. programs but. another story. seeking to acquire software capable of interacting with social media users in other countries the box it says must be adept at understanding colloquial language and generating responses to people's posts as well as gauging public
1:27 pm
sentiment. through the pentagon's drive to expand its online operations. the classic boss 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 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 well 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 slagging and even a mode g.'s plus must be a tool that is capable of analysis all these millions of posts comments and replies
1:28 pm
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 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 adult lies 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
1:29 pm
heels of the us leaders complaining of all the. about online interference from other parties other countries rolling in in the case when russian troll farms and bots there are all over the media news about that some experts have already told us that it's part of a u.s. 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. a bit more of it with me earlier we contacted the pentagon for some clarification they did get back to us saying not that much that the tool would be helpful to them given the huge amount of data that they have to handle online and of it but we discussed the push to develop advanced bots for them as a whistle blower william binney and also former m i five agent any mash up of the week
1:30 pm
there are lines 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 other 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 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
