headlines an r.t.a. a palestinian teenager and two men are killed by israeli soldiers at the gas appalled with eighty other protesters injured journalists working with are caught up in the unrest. we just woke up from and suffocating. the national average. for all calls in the u.s. to stop law enforcement using amazon's facial recognition to wrongly match photos of members of congress with criminals and tech giants like the spotify and tesla are suffering huge losses in profits we look at how this is threatening the livelihoods of thousands of employees must.

follow those three pm here in moscow you're watching international now our top story this hour is ready soldiers at the gaza border have killed three palestinians including a teenager and injured eighty according to garza's health ministry journalist working with r.t. in the diary was covering developments there is the i.d.f. fired tear gas at the protesters. so this is the theory that ad drone that i used to like does. it mean. that i don't want. but what if. we just woke up from inhaling in suffolk i didn't care guys i think it's going to go to get us one more time by all of the tear gas canisters and despite other life in unison 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 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 and out and the had this is one of the injuries that was shot with live ammunition from that is right the snipers that said this but a senior minister has stated that most of the injuries today are from live ammunition this is a protest that was killed to his chest then people are saying that he's shot and killed it's very dangerous for us to be here but despite everything we're still here covering all the israeli violence against the palestinians more live ammunition we can hear live ammunition and more injuries are coming from the front

line while these ready miter said it responded in accordance with the rules of engagement they say they are defending the border and accuse hamas of using the protests to try and breach it the process of the gaza border have been ongoing for almost four months now people are demanding your turn of territories they claim the story please along to palestine. u.s. filmmakers and the american civil liberties union are raising the alarm over amazon's facial recognition tool that after it falsely match photos of members of congress

with criminal mug shots there are now calls to for a moratorium on its use by law enforcement and identification with that 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 while the american civil liberties union compared photos of all the members of the u.s. congress with a large database of criminal mug shots and reasons facial recognition tool made twenty eight matches all of them though were folse eleven of the mismatches involve people of color to prompting additional concern the union claims the tool has a name build racial bias with forty percent of the mismatches involving people of color and that's even though congress which formed the test group is overwhelmingly white we spoke to technology analyst roger k.a. about the issue. when the software is trained to recognize faces

you have to train our corpus and the corpus is made up of lots of the images of people and you for whatever reason the images are mainly copulation people then you 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 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 do just may be harder to see it should be understood that visual recognition is not a matter of taking a photograph and ripping period to another photograph and saying oh this one looks like that and that's what that's what is human we do know what a computer dollars is though it measures points well made the a.c.l.u. reveal that amazon is trying to sell its facial recognition technology to

government and police agencies that lead to numerous civil liberties groups to join together in calling for that not to happen even amazon workers to join in the protest however the technology is already being tested in some u.s. police departments but next of course comedy as kate said you could expect is a public safety chemist owners 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 are heard free consulting to help the city of orlando build its own system. isn't it back at the a.c.l.u.'s test saying it had slower accuracy 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 would only up. operate for identify an individual us with

a reasonable level of certainty when he's in facial recognition for law enforcement activities we guide customers to set a threshold of at least ninety five percent or higher from amazon'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 the shoeman can look at the final results and verify yes these do make sense 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 but then the a.c.l.u. is saying yes but you also may use that as a way to sweep up people there's a possibility of abuse of the technology and there's also the use of it for good. now corporations like tesla and spotify are saying he losses in prophecy at the moment that a bushel except why they are suffering and have their employees and or say

consumers could be affected. wall street soaring around all time peak and driving that growth locomotive these guys who corporations like to has a lot spotify and dropbox are invested darlings committing even the general public who use their everyday products to buy in a role. as the leader in stream music i say some sometimes the most successful american tech companies. 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 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 in the you

know as we're already seeing companies like general electric to caterpillar and some. the other is. wells fargo in financial stress there are signs of financial fragility as i call it where francia fragility is really a condition where the cash flow to finance previous 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 or better assets and then they did they default that after they can sell off those assets well that financial fragility in my book systemically jilin the global economy is an indicator of pending from into instability and i think we're approaching that and we may see that emerge in the next year or two. now the firm the put together the infamous trump russian dossier has been asked to give evidence under oath a judge in the u.s.

is owed a fusion g.p.s. to give sworn testimony and your suit brought by a russian tech giant alexy google have he has filed a defamation suit against the darcys author along with a media company that released it buzz feed but have claims he's been falsely accused in the report of being a russian intelligence officer with the term russia dossier also known as the steel dossier is a private intelligence report and it contains allegations of collusion between donald trump's presidential campaign and also the russian government and was published in full by buzz feed last january smear it comes as more the story but 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 bosnia and still called it a victory this ruling given 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. to investigate trump's allegedly to russia for a fee of about one point eight million dollars then fusion hired 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. has released a suspected is miss terrorist who was deported there from germany two weeks ago authorities claim is not enough evidence against the man although they did add an investigation is still ongoing so you do do an alleged al qaeda member and was accused by the german interior minister of being one of the sama bin laden's bodyguards he had been living in germany since one thousand nine hundred seven and later applied for asylum there in two thousand and six although his speed was unsuccessful he was arrested and subsequently deported from the country earlier this month. in twenty ten the administrative court of doesn't do all of prevented the deportation of a doodoo was concerned he could be exposed to torture and inhumane treatment. at the time a number of german politicians said that the court was in the wrong. what free to

wade sammy in tunisia is not a problem of german taxpayers to protect don't financially equip 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 owners that he. should have been left in germany for ten years and secondly. the way he was brought back to tunisia where he was deported there is scattered it caused to question the rule of law in germany up no one wants this man in germany but it is grossly illegal what happened there cannot be described as legal it anywhere the court ruled and how do you move
