just moments off the midday here at moscow on this saturday a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. international. israeli soldiers at the gaza border have killed three palestinians including a teenager and injured eighty that's according to gaza's health ministry i want journalists working with. was covering developments as the i.d.f. fired tear gas at protesters. driving that. does. it mean by. people. who want to. live in the body of the body. we just woke up for maintaining
5:02 am
if they think i think it's a good. why don't you give us one more time by all of the tear gas canisters and despite all of the live ammunition the palestinian protesters continue to protest and are still very very close to the fence participating in the great much of return this is not the first time they have been facing this violence and this excessive force but they have been witnessing this for more than eighteen weeks now most of the injuries today have been injured in the upper part of the body where most of them are in the chest in the stomach conduct in that and the had this is one of the injuries that was shot with live ammunition from that is right the snipers that and said this is not a senior minister has stated that most of the injuries today are from live ammunition this is a protest that was killed to any his chest then people are saying that he's shot killed it's very dangerous for us to be here but despite everything we're still
5:03 am
here covering all of the israeli violence against the palestinians more live ammunition we can hear live ammunition and hope that more injuries are coming from the frontline the israeli military says it responded in accordance with the rules of engagement they view their actions as a defense of the border accusing hamas which runs the gaza strip of using protests as a cuppa to preach the border how the protests out of the gaza border for example have been continuous for most for months now people are demanding a return of territories they claim historically belong to palestine.

u.s. lawmakers at the american civil liberties union are raising the alarm over amazon's facial recognition tool that's after it full sleeve matched photos of members of congress with criminal mug shot prompting calls for a moratorium on its use of by law enforcement and identification with accurate or not could cost people their freedom or even their lives congress must take these threats seriously hit the brakes and enact a moratorium on law enforcement use of face recognition the american civil liberties union compared photos of all the members of the u.s. congress with a large database of criminal mug shots i'm a zone's facial recognition tool made twenty eight matches and all of them were false eleven of the mismatches involve people of color prompting additional concern now the union claims that the tool has an in built racial bias saying the false
5:05 am
matches were disproportionately people of color forty percent of the mismatches involved people of color we spoke to technology analyst or roger k. about the issue. when the software is trained to recognize faces it has to train on a corpus and the corpus is made up of lots of images of people and if for whatever reason the images are mainly caucasian people then it will be better at recognizing them some of the minorities if they weren't well represented in the training samples so i think that's the technical side of it but if you're just grabbing any images that you find then many of them will be dark enough so that people who have darker skin tones may just to do just may be harder to see it should be understood that facial recognition is not a matter of taking a photograph and for comparing it to another photograph and saying oh this one
5:06 am
looks like that and that's what it that's what it is human we do know what a computer dollars is there is measures points in may the a.c.l.u. or veil that amazon is trying to sell that's facial recognition technology to government and police agencies and that led numerous several deputies groups to join together in calling for that not to happen even amazon workers joined in the protest however the technology is already being tested in some u.s. police departments. the next of course comedy as kate said you could expect is a public safety chemist on his are already working with government agencies to deploy this technology at the a.c.l.u. we obtain records that show that amazon signed a secrecy agreement with one county to keep details about the technology out of public view they've also invited law enforcement to suggest new features and they offered free consulting to help the city of orlando build its own system amazon has hit back at the a.c.l.u.'s tests though saying that it had used lower accuracy
5:07 am
settings than recommended while eighty percent confidence is an acceptable threshold for photos of hot dogs chairs animals or other social media use cases it wouldn't be appropriate for identifying individuals with a reasonable level of certainty when he is in facial recognition for law enforcement activities we guide customers to set a threshold of at least ninety five percent or higher management point of view what they said was that the train there are law enforcement clients not to use the software or who are making decisions but rather to narrow down the pool to where human can look at the final result and verify yes these do make sense the people who are not listening people amazon is saying well we think it's quite helpful we can find lost children and we can find criminals and things and that's all very positive so then the a.c.l.u. is saying yes but you also may use that as a way to sweep up people there's
5:08 am
a possibility of abuse of the technology and there's also the use of it for good. corporations like tesla and spotify are currently suffering huge losses and profits it's threatening the livelihoods of thousands of their employees and then a bushel reports wall street soaring around all time peak and driving that growth locomotive these guys who corporations like tesla spotify and dropbox are invested darlings committing even the general public who use their everyday products to buy in her role. as the leader in stream music i say some sometimes the most successful american tech company.
5:09 am
just one tiny problem these firms are losing a refeed money tesla is worth more than car colossus is ford or general motors despite selling a tiny fraction of the cause and losing billions music streaming giant spotify is just an out vast losses now the biggest startup in the world but it's lost money every year of its life and last year the worst an i was four and the whole of billion the hope is one fine day we'll all book. in to electric cause while uploading spotify music to the dropbox cloud or something like that but new economy new danger these aren't small companies anymore they affect millions of workers and users and cracks beginning to show suggesting far from expanding some of starting to for their workforce and in the new economy relationships are shall we say
5:10 am
complicated hundreds of thousands of paid for tesla cause the poor company hasn't even built if it goes bust the ordinary people would like. be quote wiped out so definitely there's a there's a bubble not just in tech stocks but in the general stock market itself in the u.s. we're already seeing companies like general electric and caterpillar and some of the others. wells fargo in financial stress that there are signs of financial fragility as i call it where financial fragility is really a condition where the cash flow to finance previous debt becomes insufficient and they can't roll over the debt and they can't borrow that debt so then they have to default or sell off some of their assets first they're better assets and then they did they default if f. they can't sell off those assets well that financial fragility in my book systemic fragility in the global economy is an indicator of pending financial instability
5:11 am
and i think we're approaching that and we may see that emerge in the next year or to. the firm that put together the infamous trump russia dossier has been summoned to a court hearing a judge in the u.s. ordered fusion g.p.s. to give sworn testimony and more suit brought by russian tech guru alexiev cooper has filed a defamation suit against the dossiers author along with a media company buzz feed that released at a group if claims he's been falsely accused in the dossier of being a russian intelligence officer. trump russia dossier also known as the steel dossier is a private intelligence report it contains allegations of collusion between donald trump's presidential campaign and the russian government that all say was a published in full by buzz feed last january a samir khan has more of the story. but fusion g.p.s. will now have to answer questions regarding its role in compiling the steel dossier
5:12 am
be very dossier that made headlines a world wide for its unverified salacious allegations about donald trump before his inauguration now lawyers will be able to ask a fusion g.p.s. representatives about its clients how they verify their claims and why they hired christopher steele and they'll also have the opportunity to find out the nature of the firm's interactions with government officials and media outlets now the russian entrepreneur is a lawyer who filed these claims against bosnian still called it a victory this ruling gave us everything that we had hoped for after a year of trying everything they could think of to avoid being deposed fusion is finally going to have to sit down and answer our questions fusion g.p.s. hasn't revealed any information regarding the dossier claiming that it would violate confidentiality clauses and free speech rights but for some background the firm was hired in april twenty sixth by the clinton campaign and the d.n.c.
5:13 am
to investigate trump's allegedly to russia for a fee of about one point eight million dollars then fusion hired a former m i six operative christopher steele and then buzz feed to publish the dossier even though it wasn't verified now fusion g.p.s. will have until august thirty first to sit in for the deposition but it's possible that the revelations that will come out of that hearing will be more scandalous than the dossier itself. in its you has released a suspected it is the most terrorist who was deported from germany two weeks ago authorities claim there's not enough evidence against the man although they added an investigation is still ongoing so i mean i do d. is an alleged al qaeda member and was accused by the german interior minister of being one of osama bin laden's bodyguards he had been living in germany since nine hundred ninety seven and later applied for asylum in two thousand and six although that bit was unsuccessful he was arrested and subsequently deported from the
5:14 am
country this month. twenty attend the administrative court of disorder of prevented the deportation of something i do it was concerned that he could be exposed to torture and inhumane treatment in tunis here at the time a number of german politicians said the court was wrong what free to wait sami in tunisia is not a problem of german taxpayers to protect them financially equipped and islamised well less and less remains for our own people is not acceptable but it suits chancellor angela merkel's vision for germany is allegedly a hate preacher he has al qaeda training and is said to have been the bodyguard have been lauded and anyone who thinks that we've done something terrible to sami a has to weigh up how long this man has already been in the country and how long we have tolerated this security risk problem is that he. should not have been left in germany for ten years and secondly that the way he was brought back to
5:15 am
tunisia where he was departed there is scandal it calls into question the rule of law in germany no one wants this man in germany but yes it is gross legal well here and there cannot be described as legal it anywhere in court rules and you government is bound by court ruling if out just disregard of course yes this man must be supported it was not without interest and without a doubt the way the government responded it in a very matter well you know it's the fresh start it's all ok it's now are still to come on the program facebook blocks just a large mix of accounts in brazil just ahead of the elections there though facebook says as part of its anti fake news campaign details in a moment. you
5:16 am
know world's big partners through the muck and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. and. we are going through a dramatic economic and social and cultural transformation that women want to participate gay lesbian people want immigrants want rights in many cities are saying that's my way but there are more traditional parts of the society that are saying no i don't want that i live in a more of a world community i believe we should have one national policy i believe in
5:17 am
a country that's divided as much as any in the world we actually have to localise our government. good to have you with us today the u.k. has suspended its cooperation with the united states over the prosecution of two former british citizens who joined islamic state and known as the i sold the beatles to their acts and the pair were caught in syria and could now face the death penalty in america britain had intended to share intelligence to help with the prosecution however london decided to take to take a short term softer outrage in britain over the possible execution the u.k. dropped the death penalty in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine lawmakers rights groups and a family member of one of the suspects all appealed to the british government ati's pauli boyko takes a closer look. political rallies human rights taking
5:18 am
a stand in case you missed it quite frankly a bit of a pay when you want some terrorists taken care of. the isis b. cells not called back because most of the my dad in one is a terrible drama bot because they carried out he must accept terroristic gruesomeness well speaking with a british accent grammar came up with that title has unfortunately made the sound a little too costly for a gang of murderous behead it is ten of them have been captured by the us which really wants to extradite them home and deliver some humane and justice if you know what i mean the american needs is a bit of evidence to be sent out of from britain which is a real shame because the u.k. is a country of conviction political values and it doesn't contain the possible use of the death penalty in any situation there was outrage how could britain stoop so low i'm sure it even the lives of the beatles at risk they had already rescinded their
5:19 am
british passports my god is that not punishment enough. in any way of care of the likes of the isis beatles while at the same time keeping your values intact well luckily there are a few options. target the bad guys with anonymous drones while they're still in a sandy country that different tone sure is always tricky but if one of your intelligence agents happens to be standing in the back of the room well someone else from one of those developing nations happens to be pulling out the fingernails well that's different. steve i'd freedom fighters with a picture of bin ladin and that while it's to do some killing that. sending terrorists to stand trial in a real court or for a possible death sentence well not just that. just told me twenty past facebook was blocked off hundreds of wrong accounts in
5:20 am
brazil. part of its campaign to tackle fake news the move course of outrage in the country with money claiming facebook is clearly interfering in the upcoming presidential elections later this year the head of the rightwing free brazil movement says the tech giant's decision to block all these accounts took him and his colleagues by surprise. these pages and profiles were part of a coordinated network concealed by the use of fake accounts on facebook which hid from people the nature and origin of the continent for the purpose of generating division and spreading misinformation or of course. was shut down and i was like what the hell is going on then suddenly i start calling wrong model friends who are also the woman and suddenly we also realize there are many many profiles files for the leaders for. why and then we realized
5:21 am
first even before the facebook he was an answer we realized that there was. a journalism paper writing that we. we were branded for facebook because we have like a network of around three hundred facebook pages and profiles spreading fake news and we're like we don't spread any fake knew what what the hell they're talking about brazil's federal prosecutor has called on facebook to explain the blocking of all the profiles without due investigation into any so called violations is demanded a list of all pages and profiles blocked as well as a fact she will justification for each decision here's a co-founder of the free preserve movement better than a santos again saying that the deleted pages were obviously influential enough to attract facebook's attention it was in the last three years the most influential. of page on facebook and its alls or one of the malls or
5:22 am
political pages an award actually our numbers of engagement used to be compared to . be here and inherently and we did a lot of transformation or calgary because of our a job because of our natural because we fought the mainstream media as equally the they knew that they could. when the public debates against us so they decided to shut. to make make us quiet and that's what they're doing they start to first of all putting dollars we each on facebook used to reach eight million people might even have people they meet only on our facebook page and i will reach one point five people and they are doing these because of our lectures and also because international actions. somehow they're trying to show a lack shows that they are doing their homework using brazil was. an expert an
5:23 am
experiment. powerful drug cartel in colombia has taken out a hit on a german shepherd dog the canine eye good the drug barons offered snuffed out a huge stash of cocaine. and that wraps up the program for this hour here on our international thank you for
5:24 am
sharing your saturday with us we are back soon with more. four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what. one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the owners did not shoot around a corner. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for him to let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
5:25 am
to. some people simply. not. indigenous people as you know we that the. people treat. most flukey should say that. he did so. out of a sudden. just. simple b. there was a time. i said i when entering it's even if they would not allow me. even if they will shoot me. at all. million
5:26 am
million indeed i'm not i'm not picking on you menominee been thought you could have you don't mind if you're not man enough. i got mediocre like i mean because. the day is national camera. roughly once the showed so much pain for them. to suit your own cool videos and so on with the roughly string apps. find out more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. . hi i'm ashleigh. kaiser this is the kaiser report here with lovely the talented the vicious the intelligent stacey who will now take us through into the
5:27 am
next segment of what you're watching here now stacey k.-max well you know the mexicans have provided us with a great solution to corrupt politicians and bad things corruption crime all that sort of stuff because there's a town in mexico called share ron the mexican indigenous community that ran politicians out of town shiran in the violent state of mitchell walk and stand apart from mexico's electioneering season having tackle corruption and exploitation by banishing political parties police and gangsters this is an article from april back in two thousand and eleven they banned all politicians and political parties from ever operating in their town and you know what happens crime and there used to be a lot of kidnappings and torture and things like that and everything crime collapse plummeted once they kicked out the politicians because it was the politicians who were basically enabling and facilitating the criminals and i think you can see that
5:28 am
maybe not so violently in much of the other parts of the world but i think you see that. to varying degrees all over but they ended crime completely by not only driving out the politicians but also the policeman they kicked the policeman out of jail you know i saw the story and the very first thing i thought of was just berwick. down there in acapulco he does the dollar vigilante and he's an anarchist and that is anarchy it's anarchy in that there is no centralized authority that is corrupt of all that leads to all kinds of bad outcomes when you have got to centralization of power you know you have the wherewithal to have a more peaceful existence of anarchy is a peaceful kind of philosophy a political philosophy and he's also a nice goes always on there poco where they have a lot of guns. in their this is the mitchell walk and he's in guerrero which is
5:29 am
where a couple close very violent state of course as well but here these are the indigenous people the indigenous purry pecha town of chair on throughout all political parties after a popular uprising in two thousand and eleven and it does not want them back the only thing the parties have done is divide us so salvador say ha sharon's communal lands commissioner not just here but in the entire country the whole thing when they kick these people out all the politicians and the policeman they kick them out in two thousand and eleven because much of the anticipate can be traced back to the situation in the early part of the decade when the surrounding area was dominated by illegal loggers who clear cut local forests and hauled out dozens of truckloads of logs each week with the protection of a local drug cartel in the clue ssion of corrupt police and local politicians so they drove out those the police and the politicians and then the illegal logging stopped because the people wanted their environment their local environment to be
5:30 am
nice and not have the illegal loggers there and then for that because there was no politician and police officers basically enabling their illegal activities had to stop a lot of problems with the managing communities of course has to do with managing one's medium of exchange you know the money the trade the gold whatever it might be and you giving some authority and some powers. some entity that would have dominion over said money or gold now is trip their currencies again jeff berwick being way ahead of the curve on this you know you eliminate the need for any centralized c. or gold exchanging entity as well so add crypto currency to that community and you have a model for global growth based on anarchy and localism and that could be that's the entire global crypto community well panned you know fluffy pony you know. charlie.
