6:01 am
a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at international in moscow it is now is just one o one on saturday afternoon. israeli soldiers at the gaza border have killed three palestinians including a teenage injured eighty that's according to gods as health ministry a journalist working with. you was covering developments at the i.d.f. fired tear gas at protesters. if. you want. when you look at the body of the body. we just woke up from inhaling its
6:02 am
effect i think you guys i think it's going to go to you just 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 and they have been facing this violence and to success of course 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 and down in the end the head 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 of house stated that most of the injuries today are from live ammunition this is a protest that was killed to a name is just then people are saying that he's shot and killed it's very dangerous
6:03 am
for us to be here but despite everything we're still here covering all those israeli violence against the palestinians lawyer live ammunition we can hear live ammunition and that war injuries are coming from the front line the israeli military says it responded in accordance with the rules of engagement but they view their actions as i defense of the border accusing hamas which runs the gaza strip of using protests as a cover to breach the border now the protests at the gaza border have been continuous for almost four months now people are demanding a return of territories they claim historically belong to palestine.
6:04 am
u.s. lawmakers and the american civil liberties union are raising the alarm over amazon's facial recognition tool that's after it falsely matched photos of members of congress with criminal mugshots prompting calls for a moratorium on its use by law enforcement and identification with the 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 amazon's facial recognition tool made twenty eight matches all of them faults now eleven all over the mismatches involve people of color prompting a well additional concern the union claims the tool has an inbuilt racial bias
6:05 am
saying the false matches were disproportionate namely forty percent of the mismatches involved people of color and we spoke to technology analyst roger cady 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 the images of people and you for whatever reason the images are mainly cartesian people then you will be better at recognizing them some of the minorities if they weren't well represented in the training center so i think that's the technical side of it but if you just grab any any images that you find and many of them will be dark you know absolute 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 ripping period to another photograph and saying oh this one looks
6:06 am
like that and that's what it that's what it is human we do know what a computer is though it measures points in may the a.c.l.u. revealed that amazon is trying to sell this facial recognition technology to government and police agencies and that led me over a civil liberties group 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 us police departments but next of course the company as kate said you could expect is a public safety chemist on this 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 of amazon has hit back at the a.c.l.u.'s test those saying that had used
6:07 am
a lower accuracy settings than recommended. well 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 identify an individual us 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 for management's 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 results and verify yes these do make sense either the same people or they're not the same 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
6:08 am
a possibility of abuse of the technology and there's also the use of it for good. corporations like tesla and spotify has suffering huge losses in profits ultimately threatening the livelihoods of thousands of their employer has a dental bushell 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.
6:09 am
just one tiny problem these firms are losing a rethink 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 announced vos lost is 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 will book. in to 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 are starting to fall out of their workforce and in the new economy relationships are shall we
6:10 am
say complicated hundreds of thousands of paid for tesla cause the poor company hasn't even built if it goes bust these ordinary people would likely be quote wiped out definitely there's a there's a bubble not just in tech stocks but in the general stock market itself and you know as we're already seeing companies like general electric who caterpillar and so . the others. wells fargo in financial stress that there are signs of financial fragility as i call it where francia fragility is really a condition where the cash flow to finance a previous debt it becomes insufficient and they can't roll over the debt and they can't borrow the debt so then they have to default or sell off some of their assets first their 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
6:11 am
and i think we're approaching that and we may see that emerge in the next year or two. but put together the infamous trump russia dossier has been summoned to a court hearing and judge in the u.s. ordered fusion g.p.s. to give sworn testimony in a lawsuit brought by russian tech guru and likes to go put out his file that defamation suit against the dossiers author along with the media company buzz feed that released that group if claims he's been falsely accused in the dossier of being a russian intelligence officer. now the trumpet 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 and the dossier was published in full last january by buzz feed and samir khan has more details but
6:12 am
fusion g.p.s. will now have to answer questions regarding its role in compiling the still dossier 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. 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 he was in 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.
6:13 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. that is here has released a suspected is that mr terrorist who was deported from germany two weeks ago authorities claim those just not enough evidence against about although they did invest. cation is still ongoing so i mean i do d. is in a legit al qaeda member and was accused by the german interior minister of being one of osama bin laden's bodyguards who had been living in germany since one thousand nine hundred ninety seven and later applied for asylum there in two thousand and six though that bit was unsuccessful he was arrested and subsequently
6:14 am
deported from the country earlier this month. now in two thousand and ten the administrative court of dusseldorf prevented the deportation of sami i duty it was concerned that he could be exposed to torture and inhumane treatment in tunisia at the time a number of german politicians said the court was in the wrong. what free to wade sammy in tunisia is not a problem of german taxpayers to protect them from injury equip and islamised while 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 rona's that he. shouldn't have been left in germany for ten years and secondly that the way he was brought back to
6:15 am
tunisia where he was departed there is scattered it caused to question the rule of law in germany no one wants this man enjoyed by us it is grossly illegal what happened there cannot be described as legal it anyway the court ruled and how do you move government is down by court ruling it out just disregard of course yes this man was supported. by the town. and whether they actually are the way the government responded it in a very hasty matter but you know it's the fresh start it's all chaos now. i many stories for you just around the corner here on the program including facebook blocks just a string. brazil the head of the election. campaign more on that after the break. so.
6:16 am
you put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to be for us this is what
6:17 am
the full story of the more people are. interested always in the waters in our. city. thanks for joining 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 known as the beatles due to their accent of the pair were caught in syria and could now face the death penalty in america or britain intended to share intelligence to help the prosecution however london decided to take a short term softer approach in britain over the possible executions in the u.k. drop the death penalty in one nine hundred sixty nine lawmakers rights groups and a family member of one of the suspects all appealed to the british government.
6:18 am
takes a closer look at political rallies human rights taking a stand in case you missed it quite frankly a bit of a pay when you want something about the terrorists taken care of. the isis b. cells not called back because most of them my dad in one is a terrible drama but because they carried out if you accept terroristic gruesomeness well speaking with a british accent i am came up with that title has unfortunately made the sound a little too costly for a gang of murderous to head it is ten of them have been captured by the us which really wants to extradite them home and deliver some humane justice if you know what i mean well america needs is a bit of evidence to be sent out of it 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 a situation there was outrage how could brits and stoop so low i'm sure it even the lives of their beatles at risk they had already rescinded their british passports
6:19 am
my god is not punishment in. any way of taking care of the likes of the isis beatles while at the same time keeping your values intact well luckily i. if you up and. talk of the bad guys with anonymous trains 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 their fingernails well that's different. freedom fighters but the picture of bin ladin that while it's to do some killing. sending paris to stand trial in a real court for a possible death sentence well not just that. facebook has blocked hundreds of rightwing activists accounts in brazil as
6:20 am

6:21 am
first even before the facebook he was an answer we realized that there was. a journalism paper writing that we. we were banded 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 a federal prosecutor has called on facebook to explain the blocking of the profiles without due investigation into any so-called violations he's the man that a list of all pages and profiles blocked as well as a fact to all justification for each decision here's co-founder of the free brazil movement an unsung 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 politico page on facebook and its all saw
6:22 am
of one of the most influential political pieces in the world actually our numbers often gauge what used to be compared to. the here and inherently and we did a lot of transformation or calgary because a for a job because of our natural because we fought the mainstream media as equally the they knew that they couldn't wind. debates against us so they decided to shut. to make make us quiet and that's what they're doing to force the fall. 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 this and also because actual actions. somehow they're trying to show. that they are doing their homework using brazil was. the next an experiment. a powerful drug cartel in colombia has taken
