1:01 pm
labels follows a russian users as having an interest increase in leading to heightened fears over the dangers posed by data driven profiling. twenty four hour news live from the russian capital this is r t international my names you know me a welcome to the program the u.k. is braced for a world wind of protest. in britain for his first visit us leader although he'll get the red carpet treatment from dignitaries and leaders public rallies are expected nationwide unless the see it is one of the protests right now. are there as many people tell is protesting as expected what's the general
1:02 pm
atmosphere. well the general atmosphere is the protesters who are. in coming out and have started coming out onto the street since donald trump arrived here in london is to keep going until throughout his whole visit basically which is going to be the next couple of days these protesters are planning a whole series of events the big day of mass rallies will be tomorrow and all of this is taking place as donald trump arrives for his first official visit to the u.k. as u.s. president now this visit is not being granted as a state visit but rather an official working visit which kind of takes down the level of pompousness traditionally associated with state leaders visiting other countries and it has to be said the controversy has been surrounding his visit even before he came here we know that people had been protesting his visit even m.p.'s had been getting together to discuss whether or not he should be allowed to come into the country following an online petition launched by the british public and none the less none of this seemed to have financed donald trump. protests there
1:03 pm
there might be protests but i believe that the people in the u.k. scotland ireland as you know have property in ireland and property all over i think that those people they like me a lot and they agree with me on immigration. and of course out there we have donald trump thinks he's liked quite a lot in the u.k. we addressed this question to the folks over here let's take a listen to what they had to say. i don't know anybody that likes and i don't know anybody that wants him to come here we don't want him here do you think he's going to hear this message of people protesting that's not the point probably not although you never know but we have to protest anyway we can't do nothing this man is evil about by people narrowing the tory government the rest of the country going abroad and you get a funny person signed up for. the right is going to spank very few of them
1:04 pm
from a majority country don't like him that's why people come out and i don't know john said he thinks he's liked in the u.k. . do you think that's true. absolutely look at the people you know in the balloon will be here tomorrow. night as you well know the balloon being referenced there is of course a stance that's getting quite a bit of attention here in london where we saw activists having crowd funded cash to put together a giant baby balloon that looks like donald trump that will be flying over central london for a few hours tomorrow certainly bringing lots of lots more attention to his visit and of course coinciding with that will be big crowds coming onto the streets of central london pretty much throughout the day tomorrow and that is going to be sort of the big day of demonstration which we're going to be following very closely but throughout the course his visit donald trump will be meeting with theresa may who will for wine and dine him along with her ministers we know he'll be of course
1:05 pm
meeting with the queen as well as visiting scotland on the agenda while he's here will be russian drugs a trade and the middle east and of course this visit comes at a time that's quite tumultuous for the british government here as theresa may have seen quite a difficult week in terms of her cabinet essentially unraveling due to bragg's that negotiation complications now all of this is also taking place amidst very heavy security where we know that thousands of police officers have been deployed to provide security during the visit especially also of course during protests and it's been said that up to ten million pounds have been spent on security which is of course taxpayer cash and not a lot of people have been happy about that either but of course traditionally we know the u.k. in the u.s. have tried to boast a special relationship so we'll be seeing exactly what kind of special outcome if any this particular visit ends up bringing with the views of some people in central london this hour on this is here live from the british capital thank you. well
1:06 pm
president trump earlier left the nato summit in brussels where he renewed calls for far more military spending by member states he also stressed a surprise news conference not to love him or putin is not an enemy but a competitor. i hope we get along well i think we get along well but ultimately he's a competitor he's representing russia i'm representing the united states so in a sense we're competitors not a question of friend or enemy he's not my enemy and hopefully some day maybe he'll be a friend it could happen but i don't i just don't know him very well i've been to a couple of times our europe correspondent peter all of our has more now on one of the most intense nato summit in recent history. donald trump ran out onto the field determined to try and provoke a fight with somebody angela merkel was his first point of call but he didn't get
1:07 pm
a rise out of chancellor merkel until well he brought up energy and started suggesting that because germany took in his words sixty to seventy percent of their energy from russia there it's well germany was a captive of the russian state germany is a captive of russia was they supply they get rid of the car to get rid of the nuclear they get so much of the for all of this for russia i think is something that they are still ok i think it's very appropriate they paid billions of dollars to russia and now we have to defend them against russia this is all got to do with the nord stream to pipeline which donald trump has in the past opposed because he wants to see germany and other european countries import much more expensive liquid natural gas from the united states but. well you can never expect what's going to come from this u.s. president on thursday when he gave this news conference he seemed to have changed his tune a little bit about north stream three but he's going to have
1:08 pm
a good relationship with russia so they'll be a lot less problem with the pipeline but to me that was a very major point of contention we discussed it at length today germany has agreed to do a lot better than they were doing and they were very happy with that we had a very good relationship with uncle america while the u.s. president seemed to be claiming to a fixed nato and a speech that really seemed far more directed towards his base his home than say any of the leaders who had been meeting with what we heard from the nato secretary general again stoltenberg was a little bit more measured i think that the fact that we had this open discussion households saw. clearly state that the two will redouble our efforts and. it also shows the clear message from president. term is having an impact while the happy faces if you will win on from all sides at the end of the summit doesn't
1:09 pm
gloss over the fact that this was at times a bruising and at other times hardly diplomatic meeting one in which those who had wondered what america first may mean only seem to have found out it means they come second it was very similar to a lot of donald trump's visits abroad that he might be in another country he might be outside the united states but his messaging and his aim is is to please his base back in the united states that's really the only audience he plays to or has in the back of his mind and so you know he sees trying to ruffle feathers and really show that america is on a on a new course a new more isolationist course more in a sense withdrawing from many things that america had been the forefront of leading and then sitting on easily against european partners who have come to rely on american leadership at the center but are now seeing it trying to in
1:10 pm
a sense run away leaving a large vacuum both in terms of leadership and perhaps in terms of cash. to another story we're closely following this hour it has been revealed that facebook has labeled sixty five thousand russian members as having an interest in treason it's feared that creating profiles for people could leave them vulnerable to a range of threats both on and and offline. facebook really outdid itself on this one here's how it went certain facebook users russians in this case were internally so they didn't know labeled as interested in treason so those perhaps with anti government views against russia all russians facebook only stopped when they got caught treason was included as
1:11 pm
a category given its historical significance given it is an illegal activity we have removed it as an interest category now here's the juice of it who do you think would be interested in this data clue that the thais as watchmakers now don't and that propagandists those interested in riling these people up there are getting bombarding them with anti russian propaganda masquerading as ads encouraging them to commit treason a perfect tool to meddle in russia's politics facebook remove the treason category due to criticism but there are plenty more that it's keeping thirty advertisers of course. but the gambling offers no similar protections for information about those categories that it has inferred for instance that i use them i'd be interested in homosexuality or interested in islam that information facebook isn't removing how
1:12 pm
would you feel of for example you were marked as interested in homosexuality in saudi arabia where homosexuals are executed how would you feel if you were marked as interested in islam and myanmar where muslims are exterminated and facebook may well have been marking potential traitors in other countries much less respectful of human rights in which these people might disappear we've tried to contact them for that comment but no response so far and at this stage it's safe to say that facebook has been literally in danger in people's lives. yellow a different issue surrounding this story let's get the thought on some of them and go live to former m i five intelligence officer on the always welcome to the program how dangerous is profiling and labeling of this kind based as we're hearing
1:13 pm
solely on online content. well i have to say i think it can be highly dangerous as is just mentioned in go to countries like saudi arabia could be potentially life threatening but it's certainly dangerous for our democracies too i've been saying for at least a decade that facebook is effectively the sort of fantasy system that if the spies could have developed it they would have developed it because when i was working as an intelligence officer back in the one nine hundred ninety s. it would take us days if not weeks to try and pull together the sort of profiles the sort of information such as jobs political affiliations interests relationships friends networks everything that we all offer up for free on facebook now voluntarily and the fact that facebook has been colluding with the west and spied global surveillance plane opt in as we know from the whistleblowing of edward snowden and one of his earliest disclosures was the prism program where he showed that facebook could become
1:14 pm
a willing participant in offering access to the western intelligence by panopticon in two thousand and nine you know the meshing between the core person in the states avail and this incredibly close now across the west so all i can say to russia is welcome to the panopticon yeah it will not addressing what you say how are you sure it would have made your job back very why do you think it is russians that we hearing about it one nationality in particular being single eyed people in other countries who may be more politically engaged are not being spoken about. that's a very interesting question i mean my first response when i read about it was this feels like western stirring western interference in the democratic process within russia because they're trying to create tension or suspicion or paranoia amongst the people who might have taken an interest in some historical case of treason or whatever it is we've seen the same thing happen across the west as well over the last few years where we know that facebook also profiles for what is called
1:15 pm
dissidents or subversives in western countries. and of course this can all be sold on to companies such as cambridge analytic or the big scandal in the u.k. over the last few months who will then micro target advertising and issues people who have already shown a predisposition to certain political positions and in fact ironically facebook has just received the maximum possible in europe because of its handing i think it's eighty seven million facebook accounts over to cambridge analysts for misuse in this way just expanding on what you saw just a moment ago how easy do you think it would be to apply that term interested in treason to perhaps western countries it would just think of the top of my head would more people fall into a category in the us for example. i think different terminology is used different triggers are applied in different
1:16 pm
countries so for example i know in the us and in the u.k. phrases such as domestic extremist or terrorist can be the triggers also in the u.k. particularly there's been historic interest in what is called political subversion which in fact is just legitimate if you know slightly alternative political activity and i know that because i worked on it in the one nine hundred ninety s. . but i think one particular aspect that would worry me for example in twenty eleven was the occupy movement across the west and there was a leaked document sent by the city of london police to banks around where the occupy camp in london was situated warning that these people were deemed by the police and by the security services as domestic extremists or terrorists now they weren't they were just a bunch of protestors sitting around in tents but for them suddenly to be labeled in that way and therefore can be tracked in that way in the future is. fascinating as always the get your thoughts former m i five intelligence officer on
1:17 pm
a mission live this hour from brussels thank you. the news continues here in r.t. international in ninety seconds. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all but there was one more question by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and a huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the problem. and do the great. good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get
1:18 pm
the ball going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join us for the three thousand and thirteen world cup in russia. this special one was also appreciated me to say the review team's latest edition to make up as we go. hello again guantanamo bay prisoners could be kept locked up with charge indefinitely according to a u.s. justice department official now that comment came during a rare legal case in which eleven inmates in the u.s. detention center in cuba had their appeals for trial or released heard by a court in washington the official said they could be held for as long as the war on terror continues. i think the government didn't help its case by saying that you
1:19 pm
know essentially. you know this this war might be like one hundred years war in england and potentially we could end up detaining people for several generations of long as hostilities were ongoing and in the war on terror let's get into some of the details the men have been held at the notorious military prison some for as long as fifteen years whether ever being charged with a crime their lawyers are demanding the inmates be either tried or released the eleven men were not allowed to listen into the court arguments because authorities said there was in the room big enough to shackle them all in together well lawyer sense human rights groups have described the conditions of their imprisonment. as constitutional and against international law among the group appealing for release is tell freak obame he's a yemeni citizen and has been detained in guantanamo bay since two thousand and three on suspicion of having been a member of al qaida he's never been charged in fact he was previously cleared by
1:20 pm
u.s. authorities and granted release papers on three occasions each time though it was cancelled at the last minute here's what another detainee had to say about their situation i still have faith even after all this time they did judge will see through this stupidity the better solution would be to see the american taxpayer the eleven million. to keep me here and maybe nobody but i am a very expensive nobody. the guantanamo bay detention camp was opened in two thousand and two by president george w. bush since then seven hundred eighty prisoners have been held as part of america's fight against terrorism human rights groups have decried the treatment of inmates after reports of abuse and torture surfaced perspired efforts from the previous administration to shut it down donald trump signed an executive order to keep the camp open indefinitely forty people are still incarcerated there here's another
1:21 pm
former guantanamo prisoners describe the torment he suffered torture false imprisonment. human degrading treatment is something that myself and many others endured but i think the cruelest and most torturous treatment has being detained without charge or trial by a country that claims to be the bastion of freedom and human rights and democracy we already know people are being tortured on mass the americans are a little bit you in the. torture but what's happening now is that. is as an american high and i think most people in this whether it's bush. donald trump all have allowed one tunnel to exist and continue under the presidency. football. are gearing up for their first ever world cup appearance after
1:22 pm
being two one in extra time in wednesday's semifinal it's an impressive feat for a small european country with a population of just over four million people now they'll be up against favorites fronts in sunday's decider in moscow and monaco choose had plenty of success in finals down the years just say maureen your gave us his predictions for the game. no i think it is a moment friends having a nice drink in in their rooms or in the bar not celebrating their victory but celebrating the extra time. and celebrating twenty four hours more than them to rest i seeing is very very unfair. i know. the broadcasters are the ones that put the millions on the on the table but by seeing for
1:23 pm
a world cup final icing both teams should play the semifinal in the same day bring these these in win game one hour or two hours early bring the friends against belgium two hours later it happened during the competition even three matches in one day so why not two matches in one day and give both teams and all the players the same possibilities france is not celebrating at all. the world cup victory but they can celebrate twenty four hours more to rest these moment after six matches is very very important and they can also serve brits three minutes or so to minutes extra which for them. extra times three extra times ninety minutes ninety minutes these one more match the thoughts of the manchester united boss while before sunday's showpiece event in mint will play belgium in the
1:24 pm
third place playoff in sin petersburg that's on saturday they met earlier in the tournament when belgium defeated england one zero in the group stages both sides though used second string why not use. i just before we run off this hour over the past month funds from our run the globe through the mail experiencing all the high. this world cup to offer reigning champions germany were sent packing in the group stages suffering a stinging two nil defeat up the hands of side career so let's leave you with some german fans the term and to stick it out and enjoy the rest of the tournament regardless. consequences must by the structure of the legal suit for when they also show you the need. for the moment the suits.
