the u.s. embassy's asked for an apology saying the envoy was unaware that he was being given a doctor picture region still of course reeling from those deadly protests just last week against the relocation of the embassy to jerusalem is our middle east correspondent paula. the photograph immediately sparked fierce criticism from the muslim world saberi kurt who is the secretary general of the palestine liberation organization the p.l.o. there's a friedman expressed to quote rude and hypocritical behavior you then have a tb who is an arab israeli law may care and comes from the israeli arab dominated political alliance called the joint let's and he has responded to the photographs by saying that this madman wants to bring peace a good thing you didn't put the embassy there at the same time we're hearing that the american ambassador has apologized freidman was not the word thrust in front of him when the. he was deeply disappointed that anyone would take advantage of his visit to create controversy the u.s.
9:31 pm
policy is absolutely clear we support the status quo on her arm al-sharif temple mount now here which is the organization from which the man who gave the president came from has expressed its own concerns about the incident it says that the man who presented the picture actually acted on his own behalf but the problem is that the american ambassador already has a record of controversy even before this event he is a supporter of israeli settlements in palestinian territory and in the past he's also called on the u.s. state department to stop calling the west bank israeli occupied territory and this incident comes at a very unfortunate time it follows the inauguration of the new u.s. embassy in jerusalem from its original base in tel aviv and as you well know that sparked a barrage of both international and regional criticism this might provoke further tensions it builds the rhetoric against the u.s. policies it would pressure governments to go in the face of and against the
9:32 pm
interests of the united states and at the same time there would be protests which are already being organized for quite some time right now in the past in territories over the two months we lost one hundred thirteen people thirteen thousand injuries. already so this would only add fuel to the fire. nearly two thousand far right extremists in germany are illegal possession of at least one firearm according to the government's own figures the green party says leaders a sweeping the problem under the carpet reporting from berlin is peter oliver. here in germany almost two thousand people identified as far right extremists have a permit to possess a firearm that's according to the government's own statistics twelve hundred of that number described themselves as reich citizens and since november of twenty
9:33 pm
sixteen around four hundred fifty of them have had their firearms licenses taken off them by 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 value mark constitution remains in effect that's the same system that allowed 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 either neo nazi groups or 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
9:34 pm
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 the sorites citizens' groups the number of these people is significantly significantly increased violence. has increased in number if the numbers go on to increase if these fever really used in. for opposing in resisting public authorities. then indeed it is 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
9:35 pm
wing terra fences the impression is that the federal government consciously accepts 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 when that threat is potentially posed from elsewhere we now are facing the end of less being intellectual dominance and culture into legally gemini and under system bred a lot of grown writing partner listen of course writing radicals right wing extremists still protect it 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
9:36 pm
a threat to the public to have access to firearms peter all of a. final word on this and the german government says that although the threat posed by right wing extremists is reportedly increasing goes on to say the overall threat level from such groups remains relatively low. politics in italy now it's been two months coming but now italy has formed a government and named its next prime minister conti has been approved for rome's top job by the italian president after emerging as a compromise candidate put forward by the euro skeptic five star movement and the far right league party the appointment ends of political deadlock this lasted since the election results came in the beginning of march that conti was seen as an unlikely choice given he's a relative newcomer to politics little no law professor has however served the boards of several high profile italian companies he's also been behind the five star movement's justice program and of others little indication as to what policies he's going to favor as prime minister conti's been in the past
9:37 pm
a vocal about rooting out corruption italy's coalition government program was unveiled last week though members of the cabinet are yet to be sworn in a number of groups in the us are urging amazon to stop selling its facial recognition software to law enforcement across the country they say the tool has become an inexpensive form of mass surveillance which could be used not only to target criminals but also crucially to spy on the general public who demand that amazon stop barring a government surveillance infrastructure that poses a grave threat to customers and communities across the country as advertised recognition is that powerful surveillance system readily available to violate rights and target communities of color. and recognition is a powerful software tool then which uses artificial intelligence to identify faces it's able to detect in real time objects and people in a wide variety of settings it can also track explicit images and content the
9:38 pm
software is able to produce a positive match even when the person's face isn't fully visible clever in it here's how amazon explains it. but on recognition video extracts many data from this video by detecting objects and activities. with amazon recognition video customers can now track persons even when faces aren't visible tracked persons that are hidden fully or partially leave the scene and reappear. should there be alarm bells it well in response and says it's technology has quote many useful applications and also defended the sale of the tool adding that just like any service users will be made to comply with the law so nothing to worry about or is there let's cross to see would be from defending right and this is a grassroots organization which signed the joint letter hey there yet i mean on the surface painted this brave new technology silly not to worry about there are a few alarm bells here in the background but why particularly without. well you
9:39 pm
know our concern is with the technology and the use of this technology by police who have proven themselves over and over again to have a pretty they definition of who might be a suspicious character and often it tends to be people of color and it tends to be people who are politically active in ways that threaten the status quo why examines and develop this you know do you know anybody grown to it it's just it's just for the. i don't think it's developed for the public good i don't think amazon really acts with the public good in mind it's not their mission right it's to make money for their for themselves and their shareholders so that's that's why they developed it it's useful for them it's a useful technology for them and they can make money selling it to law enforcement and other agents well you know what's wrong with the law enforcement agencies that are really hard pressed are always saying like every book like every organization
9:40 pm
them got more money to do the increasing amount of jobs they've got to do especially a turnip truck don't terrorist keep an eye on them eccentric cetera i mean the people who are pushing this going to go well guess it's good news for the law enforcement authorities keep the bodies a bay not. right that's that's always the argument for any new technology or any new way that law enforcement increases their i guess their their presence in our lives it's always to get the bad guys but too often they tend to use these tools against the general public and you know i mean if we want to stop crime we can lock everybody up but we don't do that because there's a cost benefit analysis and. the cost of this technology to our basic freedoms and privacy and having an open society are really very real but if i was and didn't develop this i mean there are other programs like yours well i think but if i was and didn't develop this somebody else is going to come forward and try to
9:41 pm
market the same kind of thing so sure the problem is we started off saying you said yourself the problem is not so much quite with them is that it's forced legally these these kind of things are covered i'm not sure big warrior suppose here. it absolutely is i mean with the case of amazon they're supposed to be or they say that they're that they exist to serve their customers and we feel like this is going to harm an awful lot of their customers so that's really our angle with talking to amazon and it's also important just for us to raise awareness among the public in understanding that these technologies are being developed by private actors but. adopted by our law enforcement and that's of concern and communities need to really hold their lease accountable and find out what surveillance tools they are using. the been several scandals involving data abuse recently if someone is suspicious of what private firms or governments.
9:42 pm
do what can people do to get a bit more. of control of the data. yeah so i know that there are tools that you can use through google and facebook to find out what data they have on you our focus is really on the way law enforcement is using data so we encourage communities to to do to demand transparency and accountability from their local police i think it's harder to demand that from private companies you can always opt out in theory but that it's difficult to opt out from facebook if you want to be your brave new world. so we could leave it there thanks ever so much for your time and coming to our d.c. studios suid root from defending right to dissent thank you thanks a lot. all right let's talk the football just over three weeks time of course the greatest footballing show on earth gets underway right here in the world's biggest country russia nations have been busy naming their players for the fee for world cup while our own former player peter schmeichel explores and continues to some

9:54 pm
my feet. which. i. saw genetically modified organisms face this depends on the food industry in the one nine hundred ninety s. and one thousand nine hundred the monsanto corporation cultivated to back a that was passed resistance genetically modified tomatoes followed soon after. i started looking at labels when shopping for groceries as i thought it was causing my kids' allergy a soon came to realize the tide being slightly wrong. and. then put the says stall put in this investigation. i happen to be that when i'm teaching my lab space we're getting ready for a rally. we
9:55 pm

9:56 pm
real you know the shot of little ball and. i have. access to my cousin figured these people out. simply rejecting anything new or revolutionaries had to shout out about the threats and fight for the health of future generations. corporations that produced seeds of g.m. plants claim that trance genes are absolutely harmless and most his move they make things drastically easy a farm is spying creasing plants resistance to pests and diseases they bring high yields and they could finally help to feed humanity. in two thousand and seventeen the tissue area of g.m. crops reached almost two hundred ninety million hex has three times the size of france currently g.m. crops a cultivated in twenty eight countries most of all in the usa which is thirty nine percent of the total area of g.m.
9:57 pm
crops in the world brazil has twenty seven percent argentina say team descends both canada and india have six percent each at the same time have some individuals given up. countries two in two thousand and sixteen mania left the transgenic cultivating club. in spain with. paris. poland venezuela greece and switzerland. a free. ah the country i live in russia forbids cultivating g.m.o. but doesn't forbid selling it and this baby food contains g.m.o. maybe that's what's causing my kids' allergy because that's what i buy. and i decided to look for foods grown as they say comically. maybe.

9:59 pm
struggles with you before i was just like. mice and how severe allergies particularly smell. was. this is just the world's richest for. the first five minutes ago that. i decided to take a chance and that my son ate the pancakes with sour cream that the farmer had maize a kind of old comic experiments on my own son and i made sure i had someone to. histamine tablets on hand just in case. there was a worth two point two million. for personal prison work for the company. but i mean. there was. money to me that this isn't the first player to be doing.
10:00 pm
so because. walt insect populations to these are rapidly decreasing all around the world one theory is that pollen from transgenic crops is becoming sterile so bees contacts try to nuffin a chance they need from. insects just die of disease hunger and digestive dissolute is since nine hundred sixty one the number of these in the united states is harvest is even for them by ninety percent in places if you come by hash tag and the same thing is happening all over the world. or i should mention the.
