thank you. find out for great but stay right there because when we return we'll see the interview with magicka perry and her efforts to bring back opportunities to the developing world as we go to break here are the numbers at the closing bell. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decade's long debt. studying so hard it requires drugs just. going through humiliation to enter an elite society. and paci into debt sometimes quite literally. wants other true colors of universities in the u.s. . with

no make this manufacture come sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean real news real world. looking at value surveys russians aren't so different from the european neighbors when it comes to individual rights and freedoms however they do have a very low tolerance for uncertainty in politics that translates into a strong electoral advantage for the incumbent making power transitions rare and precarious what would it take for russians to stop playing it safe politically.

elliston is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos and was dismissive to you like you know that this isn't my cup but he is going to the sun you know maybe you know john. the only palestinians who gets the most help from his to restore the counterparts i don't think some of those who were on the mission didn't know who could do this. and that's not just you have to this lady is the most out of it you have i don't know if you competed in the doesn't seem to do more in the middle. but there's a. welcome

back with technology becoming less of a privilege and more of a necessity some of the developing world are finding it as a useful tool for growing a while back when i was at the world economic for if i had the chance to for i had a chance to sit down with the g. kerry the head of youth for technology a group that focuses on bringing technology to the underdeveloped communities in africa i first asked her what the state of technology was like in these developing areas here's what she said. youth for technology foundation is an international nonprofit organization and i founded the organization in two thousand during my career at microsoft really the organization mission is around creating enriched learning communities where the appropriate use of technology affords opportunities for young people mostly living in developing in low income communities as well as women many of whom might be a mother is and really i started the organization out of. a drive to

really bridge what i would refer to as the digital canyon the difference between technology access. by those living in developing countries versus those living in developed countries you know in the early two thousand the gap was there was evident and the lack of access to technology of cora's. really meant that these young people living in developing world economies will not have access to information which without access to information really lessens their ability to further their education less of their ability to secure well paying jobs etc and so that is really how youth for technology foundation was born in an effort really to bridge this gap when we think about you know the digital care knew that you're you mention are we talking about hard tools or are you computers that are paired are we talking about connection to the internet give us a little bit more yes so that's

a great question and when we started this work it was about you know a p.c. on every desk in every office that was basic you know hardware and access but with the evolving we technology has gone over the last years last couple of years especially continents like africa which are really mobile first continents it's really about access trade access to the internet but not only just access to the internet it's what do young people do when they're on the internet and what do they are communities what i. the bill to achieve by the youth and other community members being on the internet and this is where we move past just basic digital literacy into you know mobile and application software development where we're teaching young people how to program and codes to be able to create applications that they can for them monetize in the global marketplaces and then you know moving into into emerging technologies which have an opportunity to really unlock innovation especially in developing world economies where young people can get

access to these technologies use the technologies to create a design and invent really the world envision for themselves what is i don't know if you've done this what is the average age of the person who's a beneficiary of use for technology so our work really caters for young people between the ages of eight to twenty five which a couple of years ago the united nations really defined that age group as youth right these are young people all over the world and so that is our target age group we have either eight year olds coming in who have maybe never seen a mouse or even a computer before and this is their first foray really into the digital economy and then we you know we have twenty four year olds recent university graduates who are both undereducated and unemployed living in developing world economies and so they participate in white if academy which is a five ship academy to help them link between you know tertiary education and the university or university and the world of work or in their ship and i know this

from dealing with you know kids and grandkids how do you ensure that particularly the younger folks or not using the technology for games or when you're older a twenty four year old or something for something that's perhaps inappropriate and so that's a great question and a lot of what we focus on is not just you know the hard skills not just the technical skills which i guess most people refer to as the kind of hard skills we also really try to build. a well rounded young person and so by doing so we tap into what we regard you know those soft skills which are indeed harder to learn those soft skills which include communication teamwork leadership and empathy and by giving young people knowledge around these soft skills the soft skills are really what we refer to as the twenty first century competency skills right and these are the softer skills that are a little less technical so think about empathy putting yourself in another person's

position think about cross cultural knowledge and these are skills that in addition to the hard skills we reinforce in our programs so that these young people graduate from our programs having both hard and soft skills so that they have the digital civility to know what to do when they are they have access to the internet or they are online right and so this notion of how civil are these young people when they get online so that they know the positive things to do with the appropriate technology is an area that we can for size very much in our programs so future proof part of that so really when we think about the future of work we know that we are currently in the fourth industrial revolution and the digital revolution and the future of work and tales of you know by twenty twenty for instance sixty percent of the jobs that will exist then we only have twenty percent of people that have the skills for those jobs in many of these industries we don't even know what

those jobs are so in our minds we are preparing young people. to learn our goal is to prepare them and to teach them really how to learn we want to prepare them to be everything to be future ready and that does not necessarily mean we're not focused on work or we're not focused on careers we're really focused on those things but we want to get that right well very well rounded young person so that the. adaptable and the able to learn of really learn and learn to the jobs that are going to exist in the very near term here this is so cute and important because technology above many circuits actually is so important for economic prosperity talk about the little bit absolutely technology is an equalizer right in you know this is not just in my mind but really. fundamentally technology and access to technology should be

a basic human right to be affordable that should be accessible to really everyone on the planet because through technology you get access as you get access to resources you get information related to employment and education etc so technology really deem as. a basic human right it should be right up there with the water food shelter clothing etc in our in our work that we do the reason why technology is so in tune with economic development is because in these economies that we work with there is the burgeoning population right africa the continent of africa is really undergoing the use boom there are two hundred million young people between the ages of fifteen and twenty four by twenty twenty five about ten million young people are going to be coming into the world of work in africa these people need jobs the private sector is saying we don't have the right skills the education sector is saying we are teaching them but they are not deploying the skills or the private

sector it doesn't have jobs and so these young people are at the center of really this disconnect between the private sector and the education sector so it is left up to these young people not just to groom themselves and to get the correct skills to transition into the world of work but they also have to understand and sharpen the ship as a viable career this is particularly important for women and girls absolutely we use the technology foundation we. really tiki gender lens approach to our work we believe that of course there is research that has shown and in our experience that there are cultural and gender stereotypes that leave girls further and further behind in the technological revolution the gap is even going so wide in further with the fourth industrial revolution. careers that women and girls have historically held such as customer service careers may be replaced by artificial

intelligence for instance so in our minds it is not just enough to leave girls out of the equation it becomes more of really an urgency to ensure that we have girls going into science technology engineering and math koreas so that they are prepared for this fourth industrial revolution because mind you before the industrial revolution does not mean that we wouldn't need human capital we would need highly skilled human capital and so that is our focus six percent of girls in kenya are engineers so there's a wide gap there in our work there we're really focused on on girls in secondary secondary in primary school education in kenya the same thing in nigeria and uganda as well and jeddah can you give me some numbers tell us about how many recipients of gain from using youth for technology so we have trained about one point eight million youth and women about seventy percent of that number is young people

between the ages of twenty eight and twenty five in the countries that we work in we work in about forty eight hundred communities since our inception we have also inspired the creation of about fourteen thousand women owned business so our work in appropriate technology is both in the education an intrapreneur ship corridors where we're looking at the application of the technology in those fields were primarily a business and finance program and we talk about numbers all the time and. those are impressive numbers but could you bring it down to a personal level for us and give us maybe perhaps an example absolutely so we have thousands of youth of course that go through our program each year in a specific example is a young man called emanuel and the amount of came to our program as a fourth year engineering student in a lot of these countries that we work in the education sector is not just broken it's actually obsolete and so our role is to upscale these young people in when

emmanuel came to us he was engineering major but really had very very little practical knowledge of engineering and so he enrolled in one of our programs called three d. africa which leverage is the power of emerging technologies and teaches young people to innovate and you know a man who went through the program and learned three d. printing in particular and recently a man who has kind of gone out of just human centered design and basic three d. printing and is now into electronics and figuring out how to incorporate those electronics into the three d. printed product because when you think of a full product that's viable and marketable and really in essence workable it doesn't just involve the hardware to move the software and so he's been able to match those two skill sets and start creating products when last i heard emanuel had created a robotic arm that could be used in the distillery industry so really really going out of out of the box in terms of thinking and innovation to really think about

locally produced. goods that can be used industry i should mention that you want social entrepreneur of the year and you know you have served all these people and wonder if you have any advice for other non-governmental organizations or were others who perhaps might be inspired by your story and know that you've had some trials and tribulations any lessons learned that you might want to share there's so many lessons we've learned there. and. you know if i look back to the last seventeen years or so of doing this work. the work doesn't necessarily get easier what happens is you see the true impact that you're making an organization is making in these communities you hear the stories of the young people you know the eight year old that comes in the door and sees i don't know what i want to be when i grow up and by the time they graduate from the program they want to be a nurse you know there's a young young student we work with she wanted to be

a nurse and she was really inspired by technology so you know the older people that we work with that perhaps have come out of secondary school but haven't gotten the mission into the university and they have no digital skills and they come to us and they learn the technology and the unlock the innovation potential so it's these stories of impact that we experience that really keep the journey easier but i mean it's windy roads i say i would see don't give up you will be told a lot of no's good good idea but no but just keep keep working as long as you know the vision of the work is something that you're truly passionate about eventually you're definitely succeed and jessica harry c.e.o. and founder of youth for technology what an inspiring thing you've been doing so many people have been served and help and we appreciate the time you spent with us to thank you so much. and before we go the

dow finished up six days in a row it's the best week since november twenty sixth see that's all for now thanks for watching be sure to catch a boom bust on you tube you tube dot com slash boom bust our t. ever great weekend. twenty fourteen zero bloody revolution of. the demonstrations going to be relatively few. political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just the lawyer here but i mean your list put video would put him in the news that i knew spilling into the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took. invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.

so i have all this he is on his way to practice is the precious oppressive measures being deployed against the palestinian people everywhere around the set of colonialism the theft of all of now and the many many. you know give us stating things that they're coming because of the link of course began coles that's the. uprising. that. certain i want to do and just show everybody is doing really be very clear right. away go to. management. and they are they they are what they have and they have.

you need to feel the. sun yes i'm them what do you how to become a celebrity let's local do you want to. come to mind if. i want to mean that would diminish the constant negative. not that i. i i. i.

united states thirteen russian nationals in connection with alleged meddling in the twenty sixth. vein that had no impact on the outcome. there is no allegation in the indictment that the charge. of the twenty six. of the f.b.i. is under heavy criticism even facing calls for the director's resignation of the bureau admitted it failed to react to tip offs prior to wednesday's deadly school shooting in florida. in the case of mistaken identity israeli soldiers. of a palestinian school teachers left with severe scarring after being. thirteen

russian nationals and three companies have been indicted by the u.s. justice department over alleged meddling in america's twenty sixteen presidential election the defendants are accused of waging information warfare. the indictment charges thirteen russian nationals and three russian companies for committing federal crimes while seeking to interfere in the united states political system including the twenty sixteen presidential election the financial legibly conducted what they called information warfare against the united states with the stated goal of spreading distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general

because meddling is not chargeable offense though i'd bet good money it soon will be the thirteen nationals and three entities have been indicted for first and foremost conspiracy to defraud the united states one of the main defendants is the st petersburg based internet research agency and their alleged goal was to sow discord in the u.s. political system namely the two thousand and sixteen presidential election funnily enough a catering company can also be found on the list of the accused apparently they were used at least partially to fund the whole scheme meanwhile the allegations have not been left on the answered with the russian foreign ministry spokesperson calling them absurd tens out there with thirteen of them according to the u.s. justice department fifteen people were meddling in the u.s. election against the billion dollar budgets of the intelligence agencies against the intelligence counted teligent against the state of the art technologies upset yes but this is america's modern political reality by the way why thirty apparently

that's the only number with bad associations announce that only hope the parties in question are said to formulate a plan to bolster donald trump and disparage hillary clinton using methods ranging from organizing political rallies to posing as grassroots groups but some of the tactics listed are questionable and one instance russians are said to have fun the construction of a cage aboard a flatbed truck and then to have paid someone to wear a costume portraying clinton in a prison uniform to sit in it defense also allegedly purchased advertisements on facebook to promote a rally. titled support hillary save american muslims not sure how that fits in with the pro trump anti hillary agenda and let's not forget efforts claim to have been made on social media where the russians are meant to have use fake identities to push divisive hashtags and topics according to the document the fake accounts became the means to reach quote significant numbers of americans however when platforms like facebook and twitter were grilled about what part their companies may have played in the alleged meddling they testified that the influence was

minimal. we determined that the number of accounts we could link to russia and that we're tweeting election related content was comparatively small. aggregate these ads and posts were a very small fraction of the overall content on facebook but any amount is too much . these videos mostly had low view counts. and it looks like at the end of the day all of those efforts were in vain at least

according to the u.s. deputy attorney general there is no allegation in the indictment that the charge conduct alter the outcome of the twenty sixteen election now this development came out of nowhere and something worth noting is that all the accused are private individuals and companies the indictment is silent when it comes to trump kremlin collusion the goal of the whole investigation. president tom reacted by tweeting that his campaign did nothing wrong by doubling down on accusations that russia started its alleged anti us campaign in twenty fourteen he added that that was before he announced his presidential bid in a separate statement some called for bipartisan unity claiming that discord serves the goals of bad actors like russia we discussed the indictment with several experts who suggested the timing of the documents release may be no coincidence is it beneficial for them on our fridays and people have always

thought that on a friday when this is done it'll of absorb as much of the heat as possible but isn't that interesting i ask the question we had a shooting where the f.b.i. apparently and other law enforcement agencies were told repeatedly that this young man is exhibiting behavior which most probably is dangerous one can only suspect whether that is the idea that the indictment was released today to take pressure off the f.b.i. i mean these indictments of course are prepared took a long time to prepare it could have been ready to go. for some time they could have held it there's no evidence for me to say that but i wouldn't rule that out i mean it's an interesting thought but they were going to maybe do it next monday and they pushed it up. the indictments come as the f.b.i. is under heavy criticism of wednesday's deadly school shooting in florida on this

is after the bureau admitted it failed to react to pry a tip offs on the danger posed by the gunman who killed seventeen people so does given the risk called on the f.b.i. director to resign over the fatal failure. the f.b.i. says failure to take action against this killer is unacceptable seventeen innocent people are dead and acknowledging a mistake isn't going to cut it and apology will never bring the seventeen floridians back to life or comfort the families who are in pain the families will spend a lifetime wondering how this could happen an apology will never give them the answers they desperately need the f.b.i. director needs to resign earlier the law enforcement authorities admitted over the last few years they have had more than a dozen calls regarding the killer. we have uncovered at the broward sheriff's office that we've had approximately twenty calls for service over the last two years regarding the killer the f.b.i. has a term and the protocol was not followed. the information was not provided by the

build office. and no further investigation was conducted at that. particular the f.b.i. had been given information about the attackers gun ownership and his social media posts is desire to kill people erratic behavior and potential to conduct a school shooting were also flagged one of those who actually warned the security services about the suspect the spoken about what led him to raise the alarm september twenty fourth two thousand and seventeen i sent a screenshot of a comment on one of my videos you know this comment i'm going to be a professional school shooter and i knew that i could just ignore that i had to report but report it to youtube of course they remove the comment in then i tried to email it to the. shooting in parkland florida occurred on wednesday when

a former student fatally shot seventeen people and injured some dozen more a nineteen year old suspect was the time by police on the day of the atrocities case and how the f.b.i. failed to recognize the threat posed by him now being investigated u.s. attorney general jeff sessions is now calling for an immediate review of the f.b.i. and the department of justice in florida is not the first deadly attack that could potentially have been avoided had more attention being paid him open expects. nicholas cruz isn't the only mass killer to be on the radar screen of the f.b.i. before conducting their crime all marmot teen who shot up the post nightclub killing forty nine people in orlando florida was investigated by the f.b.i. twice before he committed his mass murder. turns out they deemed him not to be dangerous now don't forget about dylan roof the self-proclaimed white supremacist who killed nine churchgoers in south carolina.

well it turns out he was able to purchase his weapons because of errors in the f.b.i.'s background check process and then there's new dell hassan he shot up a u.s. military post in texas back in two thousand and nine. turns out the f.b.i. was fully aware that he was online in communication with top al qaeda leaders they still didn't bother to investigate i think we've seen time and time again over the last he is our intelligence agencies across the west dropping the ball in terms of getting tips being aware of potential threats and not following up on those threats and he you to take advantage of measures it seems lessons not being learned they need to have a proper view about you know what exactly.
