the state but he was right citizens and dangerous reich citizen is a catch all term for a loosely affiliated bunch who claim that the federal republic of germany is illegitimate and say that the pre-war constitution remains in effect that's the same system that allowed adult hitler to take power well today's reich citizen groups come in several shapes and sizes but almost all of them have some link to why the neo nazi groups of far right ideology. the historical revisionism forms an ideological link that connects various right wing extremist currents and right wing extremists among right citizens use those connections to cause confusion to provoke authorities and to create a social platform for right wing ideology it's estimated that there's around eighteen thousand of these right citizens in germany and some are allegedly preparing for a day when they'll rise up and take their country back but these aren't just hollow

empty threats eighteen months ago a policeman in bavaria was killed during a shootout between officers and a member of one of these are right citizens' groups the number of these people is significantly significantly increased acts of violence. a public official still eastland has increased in number if the numbers go on to increase if these fever really used in pretty awesome sales for a tosing in resisting public will so reduced then indeed it's a challenge for the state opposition politicians have accused the government of trying to sweep the extent of germany's problem with far right violence under the rug first the federal government explains the right wing terrorist groups can form spontaneously and have a strong digital network but then many of their actions are not counted as right wing terror offenses the impression is that the federal government. except blind

spots in the recent past berlin hasn't pulled away you from publishing intelligence findings that showed as many as seven hundred radical islamists could be in the country and a capable of preparing a terrorist attack but it does seem that they're less forthcoming we're not threat potentially posed from elsewhere we now say since the end of being intellectual dominance and culture into legally germany and under system broke out of growth right. of course right in the radical right wing extremists. protected the german state district to their all the power and strength it has germany has very strict gun control laws thankfully gun deaths are a rare occurrence here but perhaps one way to keep it that way would be to not allow people who the government considers a threat to the public to have access to firearms peter all over r.t. believe. although the threat posed by right wing extremists in germany is

reportedly increasing the government say the overall threat level from the group remains let relatively low. after eighteen years don't be evil is seemingly no longer part of google's main philosophy the slogan has been removed from its code of conduct but the changes were only noticed a month later this comes amid outrage in the company over its involvement in a u.s. military program his artie's don't quote don't quarter. don't be evil a rule you'd think most people might try to live by right the folks at google certainly thought so for the first eighteen years. don't be evil google is generally apply these words to how we serve our users but don't be evil is much more than that until that is they quietly removed probably the most famous phrase in their corporate philosophy and now it's a bit more vague striving for the highest standards of ethical business conduct and
9:34 am
we all know how ethical business can be here's one example of google's interpretation it signed a pentagon contract in march to help the department of defense create artificial intelligence tools for drones to attack and identify ground targets all without human operators being involved me project maven the technology is helping human intelligence analysts identify objects and video feeds from drones you know it's kind of like a facebook photo when you upload a photo into facebook able to identify which of your friends are in that photo project made in the same thing google staff and ai academics were shocked with thousands signing a petition protesting the firm's militarisation. we believe that google should not be in the business of war therefore we ask that project may even be cancelled and that google enforced a clear policy sitting that neither google nor is contractors will every build were
9:35 am
feared technology google's not the only tech to get a pentagon paycheck i.b.m. and the computer graphics firm nvidia are just two which have worked on military projects still google balsa see nothing out of the ordinary with project maven. we have long worked with government agencies to provide technology solutions the specific project is a pilot with the department of defense the technology flags images for human review and it's for non-offensive uses only google claims that. ai won't be used to kill but it doesn't workers who resigned over the contract aren't convinced the ethical question now is whether it's the weapon or the brains behind it which does the killing don't be evil i always thought that it really meant don't be evil yet because of course as google becomes a very powerful corporation on one of the most are form the world and places such an important role in the development of new technology inevitably they're going to
9:36 am
be drawn into some very big and evil things like war like autonomous weapons and there's a lot of pressure on the high technology sector in the us right now to contribute to the military. and i think that many of the google employees don't agree with that and it's interesting to see that story will be playing out. we've also go to comment on the changes then when they change if and when we get and i sponsor what's come off this short break. when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round listen to the one percent.

a nation with the world's largest known reserves of oil and gas one now and was it fair we speak to an election monitor joseph hour along the board of the u.k. center for investigative journalism and an associates of wiki leaks and the head of this week's un report on fracking we speak to a former advisor to the u.k. pm david cameron wants fracking could mean earthquakes in england but from the headlines at the torch a debate about the new cia chief and who's going nuclear over ethical investments all the civil war coming up today's going underground but first britain's foreign secretary boris johnson after seemingly acquiescing the u.k. minority government needed to raise a maze of bricks it customs union begins a tour today on his itinerary peru argentina and chile that starts with the last of those alleged washington proxies chile its infamous leader pinochet was backed by johnson's political hero margaret thatcher when the former dictator was charged with genocide by spanish examining magistrate judge baltasar garzon on pinochet
9:48 am
does not enjoy being detained from the crimes that judge saw missing him for in spain those are going to take a genocide and extra territorial murder i don't see them work. in the army and get out. on the whistle suddenly where. you see not in this lobby and not down. well maintained last them begin with. the numeri and the coward. getting them since they dumped it on a good equal look in montgomery and after the cia backed killing of the democratically elected socialist leader of chile salvador allende forty thousand were killed or tortured under pinochet boris johnson's hero margaret thatcher believed pinochet though should be rewarded for his friendship with britain when after being arrested in the u.k. he was released by tony blair's government his reward fund this guy wants to be
9:49 am
held prisoner for sixteen months. in the meantime this is the. red tape. joe de chile is in the grip of more neoliberal change that opponents believe will further impoverish the country's poor as for argentina where thatcher can arguably take credit for destabilizing a us proxy dictator after winning the mel venus for clint's war the bad old days could be returning in the past few days as president mccree has sought loans from the i.m.f. . but even deeper. into messing around and as for peru's its president hasn't even been elected monti of his camera has been appointed president after his predecessor resigned over corruption it was vickery who welcomed us vice president mike pence to the capital lima in the past few weeks now let me be clear. the responsibility for the
9:50 am
venezuelan people suffering can be laid at the feet of one man nicolas maduro yes the us vice president at the invitation of a leader who is not elected in peru calling up president nicolas maduro of venezuela who just won a landslide on sunday no surprises then that britain's foreign secretary or strengthen did not congratulate president maduro and that his five day latin american tour is exclusively. to those nations pivoting back to washington responsible for decades of covert destabilization got of the days when the poor of london used to benefit from cheap venezuelan oil thanks to one of labour's most popular politicians ken livingston allegedly forced out of his party this week well joining me now from caracas is a member of the board of the u.k. center for investigative journalism joseph errol who was an independent monitor at sunday's venezuelan elections joseph thanks for coming back on going underground was the election fair i don't see how anybody who was present could think it was anything out i know there's plenty going on in the news about how unfair it is that
9:51 am
whenever any questions are posed as to why then the answers are certainly not technical that come back here really political answer what exactly is the process of voting in a ball they're very in venezuelan election it's an extremely robust system you know if you go into the polling station you show your id card which they push. the number of i.d. card information and that brings up their version of the i.d. card so then they verify that you are the person on the id they then get you to put your thumb for it on the machine. that is a double verification from then you go to an electronic actually where you put in your vote circuits you option a cd you click on it you want it prints out about those records your vote and it was a printout a ballot with an x. in the box if you voted for which you then put into the ballot box and after that
9:52 am
you go and sign if you don't or vote so there's so many moving parts that at the end of the day they look at the numbers on the machine and they compare that with the numbers in the ballot box the physical ballots and also the opposition and and they signed that of all parts used present so they had witnesses from all the running cars used to to have. green on that count number and on top of that the the powers you have the right audit fifty four percent of all the the addicts on a first machines i mean that's not just a sample that's a huge huge sample as close to being a population i went to many heard and stations i even try to fudge the system myself where i got somebody who just voted to go back in the queue and put their id number in and it popped up on the screen saying this person is already very good then i got somebody else who is who hadn't voted to put that id number in and then
9:53 am
i asked if instead of them putting them print on i could put my arrow and i did and it said this doesn't correspond to the same person so that the people who've been signing over there are these machines that can print out different puppets it doesn't matter unless it actually corresponds it's not going to work maybe those ones would have them adorable as johnson says the elections are neither free nor fair so if your state calls them a sham which will change nothing you'll just one of the election observers with the other election observers that you met today broadly agree with your view of these elections are i mean i haven't come across anybody who disagreed with this i mean there were over two hundred independent observers there were there was a delegation from the african union election observer observer trip there was set out which is an international latin america. expert observer of the actions and i mean it was a resoundingly. concurrence that it was sadly that technically
9:54 am
robust. there was no sight of any intimidation of people being trafficked. or people being paid to vote for i mean there was there was a significant abstinence that's true but on that note i mean that's the opposition and said previously that they were going to abstain that they still had a candidate. why would a government try and. fix an election that's not going to be contested that in itself doesn't make sense and you know there's another point that's worth noting is that we went to a recent prior to the elections with the. with the main campaign managers of all candidates and. henry five carter was the main opposition candidate actually said that they agreed with the electoral system they thought it was for
9:55 am
vast had witnesses in all the polling stations that also so they couldn't say or it was a fraud or and he said that they were they would recognise. the results until such time as the votes actually came in and it didn't recognise that exactly file calls people are certainly not saying that they accept it now i'm not sure the new york is going on the western borders with venezuela but colombian president santos says he's not going to recognize the victory of majorities as colombians were given then as wayne an idea is to vote well you said it i mean it's not just haven't you of course argentina brazil chile even canada the whole of human group have come out with a statement saying how they're not going to recognize that and in that opening paragraph of that statement it says because they were not free or fat now i don't understand how they can argue that and the same carries on another as i've said i don't get technical reasons as to why it wasn't for your parent action you know.
9:56 am
everybody in this country has the right to vote. before chavez ahead of men in station from an individual forty seven kilometers away and they have to travel through the jungle and we swim across a river malon you need your parking station is a thousand meters away i mean from any individual in the entire country so everybody has the right to vote and their guns are electoral commission which is its own branch of government something else trappist it was there were three branches of government before which was judicial legislature that executive any group of the citizens of it and an electoral one so that he had this independent commission that it go you've people their rights back but there's boris johnson i've appointed months and you mentioned gallagher justin trudeau didn't allow thousands of venezuelans to vote in the consulate so we should thousand in a travesty in itself that is as far as i understand it it's
9:57 am
a complete contravention of the vienna convention on the magic relations it is sovereign territory you can't tell somebody that they can't do something about it and miss it. canada said that they were going to stop those people from voting how they did it i'm not sure whether they actually put people in front of the doors or not however that only six thousand x. hats vendors are going to act at that meeting canada. with an abstention rate for forty eight percent fifty truck up remember which one of the truth that they're so similar you know only three thousand of those will probably go to vote anyway so it makes very little difference through to a country that's going to have that has a population of twenty million and again it's political these are all countries that are more upset with the fact that you have a very leftist distributed government because while. the country is the other countries that you mentioned canada good result has gone far left or right
9:58 am
argentina has gone from left to right center to that wall that limit group are very very anti they're not socialist governments and. it's a saying reason that people always condemn chavez in my view just finally and briefly when you talk to ordinary venezuelans they wanted to vote for the dura the ones that use were diverted from a door despite the fact the united states seems to be threatening oil sanctions if the doro want well i mean the voters i suppose there would not only be people who wish to vote from a juror. i mean obviously you're not really allowed to ask you are you going to vote for it you can say would you like to tell me you're going to vote for and you know that it was a mixture so it wasn't all the other thing is there a very proud nation and that for for decades latin america has being run by
9:59 am
it the cia it forms. a different description and when they have a country and a president and the previous president to go where we actually want to take back our sovereignty be a sovereign nation it adds to that fire and so yes as i mentioned sanctions have been put in place other side actions of being threatened go no doubt be more sanctions let me. it does one grow no good to. just about thank you for the break. as the u.k. government announces plans to accelerate fracking in britain we always pull the number ten advisor professor peter styles about whether to expect earthquakes in england until this week's news plans fall back you know that goes on the man who's frankly boiling over a bunch of biased be all the more coming over but true of going underground.
10:00 am
join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. we've all gotten used to it the media hates trump and the president returns the favor in kind how is this mutually charged hate fest changed media and journalism does some corporate liberal media report the news anymore and is journalism a big profession in the service of partisanship.
