7:03 am
think. that live that just right now from that young gas canisters that went throughout not that protester just right now you see everyone is trying to take this is the way to do that unless you go to the hospital directly. i get to stay here for more than forty five days i doubt the fifteenth of may because they believe that they have the right time they have the right to didn't do their land they have the right to stay here and they want to go if they want to come and tell to go back to their original to their homeland and to their towns where the west bank city of ramallah is also witnessing a violent standoff at the moment with i.d.f. soldiers shooting at palestinian stone throwers palestinian president mahmoud abbas has declared saturday a national day of mourning we spoke exclusively to the senior political leader of the palestinian movement hamas and here's how. he described the situation with
7:04 am
early enough and i knew all those killed were from gaza what the israelis did is a crime against unarmed civilians who just want to return to their villages and towns and who have a right to under the nine hundred forty eight un resolutions or these really is are displaying the kind of fear seen in a thief who was trying to protect what he stole and this is how they treat unarmed civilians who just want to return home. however israel blames what it called riots on how mass which it fuses a terrorist organization the country's army says it would respond to any threat to israeli sovereignty and damage to the security fence was. ahead of the mass protests a palestinian farmer was killed by an israeli tank shell his relatives say he was harvesting pastorally one kilometer from the israeli border before dawn thousands marched on the streets of gaza as his body was being carried israeli military said
7:05 am
it was aware of the reports but claimed the tank fire was directed towards suspects who approached the fence and were acting suspiciously. juma is from the anti settlements movement and he thinks israel's heavy handed response to the demonstrations is disproportionate does a very strong message to the international community this month and this gathering and. march is a peaceful one there's really pushing a lot of military on the areas and they are shooting at the people who want. the violence and this was what it was like if you look at the kid about the palestinians life they don't see the palestinians that and they are sure that the out of every crime that they are doing done is keeping with it because they are immune by this international system but because the united states and the arab countries that the silence there and the arab countries that do normalization with israel and do. no. that politics is becoming ever more involved in

sports with billboards now appearing in european cities calling for a boycott of this summer's pfieffer world cup in russia artesia takes a look a closer look now at the group behind the campaign. the beautiful game takes an ugly turn to international friendlies this week in europe were hit with less than friendly billboards outside the stadiums the campaign also has an online petition against what it dubs the cup of shame and its site probably boasts that the u.k. has announced ministers won't be attending of course it fails to mention that britain's decision has nothing to do with the situation in syria whatsoever and it carefully ignores what moscow's presence has contributed when it comes to the fight against terrorism in syria including deescalation zones and humanitarian corridors but i digress i vas an online global activism network is behind both the billboards and the petition and this is how they described their aims of i was a global organization with
7:07 am
a simple democratic mission closed the gap between the world we have and the world most people everywhere want their campaigns cover everything from saving elephants and bees to much more controversial topics like gun control in america and stopping the far right from taking power in europe so clearly they don't shy away from politics and when it comes to syria their position is crystal clear assad and by extension russia bad u.s. coalition and white helmets good and fact according to their side of oslo has raised over two million dollars to help the white helmets but as we've reported before the group isn't exactly what they might appear to be.
7:08 am
with some forty six million members worldwide and sixteen available languages on their website they make clicked it is an extremely. easy whether a causes animal rights global warming or the children in syria as an organization they're very deeply invested in. american establishment in the corporate world and into the political ruling elite world in america and so we've seen. a weapon. as an instrument of war for example the petition was put forward for example against libya they were calling for a no fly zone we've also seen them for example supporting the alleged chemical weapon attacks to to demonize the syrian government and to accused russia of
7:09 am
supporting so why don't they go to petition that is calling for another fly zone or a petition that is demonizing one particular side in a conflict it is that recently linked to that humanitarian aspect now of off takes pride in saying they're one hundred percent member funded meaning that their agenda is not and cannot be swayed by anyone with deep pockets or special interests but at the same time they also acknowledge that they were founded by two advocacy groups who received major funding from george soros a well known supporter of liberal political causes and through one of those companies sources open society foundation specifically funneled money to evolve so while p.r. stunts politicizing sports are nothing new with this stunt in particular some are now crying foul. the u.s. state department could require visa applicants who want to visit america to reveal information about their social media accounts going back for the last five years it's in the name of security. as more. well if you're looking to apply for a u.s.
7:10 am
visa you might need to clean out your social media posts or risk getting rejected these applicants could be asked to turn over their social media history as part of trump's new extreme betting policies now if it does pass applicants will be forced to disclose five years of their social media history and then the information will be used to apparently bet and identify them but the state department says this not might not be it they could even expand the list of required disclosures and if you think that's too intrusive the plan also requires e-mails and phone history well the proposal received a mixed reaction online from people saying it's an attack on privacy and others mocked it as of having to have a visa and passport to travel the world is bad enough how do you want to be done your social media t.v. well there goes freedom of speech as well as freedom of. u.s. government we want your social media names in order to get a visa me because freedom of speech is only something the almighty americans get
7:11 am
the israelis for tourism now the other countries will ask the same american to resist getting joint to brings out every single one of my six thousand seven hundred fifty four tweets one through face and hand them to immigration the plan could potentially affect about fourteen point seven million people every year similar policies in the past only applied to people that pose a serious security risk and these new plans are supposedly part of trump's larger counterterrorism policy now some even joked that if other countries had a similar laws in place trumps inflammatory twitting could have gotten himself banned from traveling abroad so mary kom reporting that will political activist christian mansehra says that the state department's proposal should only have limited applicability this. may work in terms of going after the american embassies and the local countries you know are you there are terrorists. you know times to organized crime or to narcotics
7:12 am
trafficking this would probably serve a purpose but the embassies would have to have special personnel that we have to check these social media sites because this will take forever so i think this is something that must be considered because i don't believe they're going after social media or the private lives of citizens then in most part very good people will serve the purpose of limiting the incoming immigrants that are coming to us now in terms of vetting and making sure that the right people coming to you know states there are other measures that could be taken but not going after social media because this will definitely have a very very damaging effect not only on tourism but also on social media outlets that promote freedom of speech and the ability of people to share their lives or their loved ones and friends first of all of the tax privacy in the tanks the freedom of speech. chain could take currencies becoming increasingly important to
7:13 am
the i mean to really facets and push away one hundred thousand people are still without power following a major hurricane last year today put a recount was set to receive twenty five thousand dollars from bitcoin entrepreneurs. from to santiago spoke with some of them. puerto rico has received an influx of washington innovators who pledged to transform the region after hurricane rita's devastating damage what i'm hoping happens is a lot of people come to puerto rico and they take the route wow. places that are these people are amazing and they're so nice and so there's so much culture that's so beautiful here why is it that that things are so difficult why are liars such struggles maybe i can make a difference maybe i can help us meet those are three consecutive conferences detainee's last chance bound and coinage and we're all working together to build a community of the future give back to the people of puerto rico say we're going to install a five different solar solar set up surveying power to hold the. water
7:14 am
change stems from a ten year old incorporated company and is going to washington d.c. centralized water by creating a system of sensors automating water treatment and recycling process that shows puerto rico and teamed up with restart for its first systems implementation was a country that recycles the most water. you telling israel of course eighty percent recycling rate the next one down in the world to spain with twenty percent whereas the us. one percent. here's the worst part of it eighty percent of all water in the world is not treated it's just runs into the ocean so a trillion dollar water industry should be a five trillion dollar water industry and we anticipate that what happened with plants is that a part of that problem it's a part of the problem because the water infrastructure in the u.s.
7:15 am
is literally falling apart it's whole and what's happening is forced decentralization with the towns a municipality these are telling the users you clean your own water well i see that as an opportunity because we can get those users to adopt the very best technologies and reuse their way. you know long before we build that we want to get to work right away here but we're not going to wait to build all these structures we're just going to go ahead and use some of your the investment to literally put shovels in the ground and build the system right here right this more or less all my talks a moron operate with integrity to know i'm armed remember that you're building community tuned for more fuel in the future in order to address the snipes max keiser legal myths of crystal rose and much more only on the toll on our t.v. .
7:16 am
7:17 am
environmental issues and social justice issues went to these conferences in puerto rico and her takeaway was that a bunch of people all showed up and this is a danger to the local economy and to the local fabric of society. so the first thing that strikes me is that lefties like they all feel they have a monopoly on good intentions i'm not sure where that comes from. again now an independent autopsy has found us police fatally shot an unarmed black man in the back it happened in the city of sacramento really this month the victim's family lawyer says it does contradict the police officers claim that he was advancing towards them although what happened wasn't exactly clear from the body cam video that was released.
7:18 am
police guard it twenty two year old steven tyler twenty times saying afterwards that they had mistaken his phone for a gun they were responding to a call about someone breaking windows clarke was shot in his grandmother's backyard the officers involved were placed on paid administrative leave the case is locals with protests happening almost every day since the day of the shooting when a series of protests demonstrators have blocked highways and twice disrupted in a by an n.b.a. basketball game the day after clarke's funeral black lives matter activists again block streets they call for justice and punishment for those responsible we spoke to former georgia state representative. says badly trained police officers are not being held to account. the ideas that african-americans are automatically committing crime or in the foundation of our system fired training the right kind
7:19 am
of training now this on how to shoot or when to shoot deescalating but then also a training inherent bias is that police officers may have in this country and it's within their system then we need to look at both in order to try to stop these types of horrific events but we have to. at the train of events that has happened in the past where many officers are not being indicted or they are let off and that's because our law has a very huge loophole in deter allowing officers who have a fear and looking at their subjective belief of fear in determining whether they are guilty or not in their actions and the only other place to hold them accountable is that through the police departments making them lose their jobs but it's very hard to have the police police the police. the ngo groups the german society for international cooperation has started an internal probe after it was accused of fostering a culture of anti semitism the allegation comes from israel's n.-g. o. monitor which reports on the work of other n.g.o.s so were g.'s employees have made
7:20 am
controversial facebook posts for example one reads i hate israel another post is a satirical drawing we spoke to a representative of. about the case what is really shocking about the pows were put online at least eleven employees of g.a.o. is that german federal agency that implements projects on behalf of the german government is basically the fact that you have employees german employees representing the government spreading violent anti-semitic and it's not even and this is israel hatred. really do years without being sanctioned and this is all the while on a very high level of german government the message has been very clear we identify that there is a rise in anti-semitism and we will fight it and israel incremental kind of foreign
7:21 am
policy its existence its safety and relationships with israel. this is the elf has denied the accusations of anti-semitism however it is worth noting that the organization employs almost one hundred fifty people in the palestinian territories israeli writer gideon levy says that it is important to distinguish anti semitic sentiments from anti israel ones it's given to this notion that in the critical is immediately perceived it is disability and that's a very efficient way to release ourselves from any. two to look to be accountable for anything and mainly media in the world very very carefully and criticizing israel because they are so scared to be labeled it's one should know there isn't this image is there in the world but not any
7:22 am
critical disability and most of the critics of islam are not anti semites because there is a lot to criticize about israel let's be honest. the city of los angeles is associated with celebrities luxury and fame although it does have another side to you because official figures do suggest that homelessness has increased forty three percent between twenty thirteen and twenty seven saying the los angeles city council is now considering a plan to provide housing for every homeless person in the city. this is los angeles home to the glitz and glamour of hollywood the city perhaps most synonymous with the american dream. but this is also well a. bit more but here night every doorway there's only

everywhere now they grabbed up all your data and used algorithms to target specific people and show them specific ads to try to get you to vote for trump it's the same thing as like google and facebook do except they do it to advertise shoes in baby character carriers and and vapid boring. are you becoming a little too different in original here try this shared so you get better with your cardboard cut out coworkers and the consumerist machine just wash over you like a warm apathy. right these algorithms are all around us having an impact on every aspect of our lives whether or not you get called in for a job interview there's an algorithm helping them decide that whether you get into college there's an algorithm for that whether you get dropped from your health care there's an algorithm for that whether you get paired with a hot guy on match dot com or. paired with some sort of bridge troll who you know

smells of spoiled tofu and squeals when he sleazes there's a great. number the very thing and we're led to believe these algorithms or perfect and unbiased but in fact they're filled with the same biased sees and flaws as the humans who create them but they aren't unbiased at all they're often racist and prejudiced and ask. did you. get your. so they're basically the holes. that you had to be mad at them. for example predictive policing police are using software to predict crime a lot of lawmakers are excited about this you put a bunch of data into an algorithm and it tells you where to put the police but predictive policing is just a racist self-fulfilling prophecy.
