9:04 am
facial recognition tool that after it falsely match photos of members of congress with criminals there are now calls for a ban 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 when the american civil liberties union compared photos of all of the members of the u.s. congress with a large database of criminal mug shots facial recognition tool made twenty eight matches all of them were false well eleven of the mismatches involve people of color prompting additional concern to the union claims that the tool has an inbuilt racial bias with forty percent of the mismatches involving people of color that even though congress which formed the test group is overwhelmingly white we spoke to technology expert broad u.k.
9:05 am
about the issue. when the software is trained to recognize faces you have to train our corpus 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 center so i think that's the technical side of it but if you're just grabbing any images that you find and many of them will be dark you know absolutely people who have darker skin tones may just do just may be harder to see it should be understood that this recognition is not a matter of looking at photographs and for comparing it to another photograph and saying no this one looks like that and that's what that's what it is human we do know what a computer dooars is though it measures points and made the a.c.l.u.
9:06 am
reveal that amazon is trying to sell its facial recognition technology to government and police agencies and that led numerous civil liberties groups to join together in calling for that not to happen even amazon workers also joined in the protest however the technology is already being used by or being tested rather by some u.s. police departments but next of course comedy as kate says a good expect is public safety kemas 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 offered free consulting to help the city of orlando build its own system anderson though has hit back at the latest a.c.l.u. test saying it had lower accuracy settings than recommended. well eighty percent confidence is an acceptable threshold for photos of hot dogs chairs animals or
9:07 am
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 got 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 actually 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 so then the a.c.l.u. is saying yes but you also may use it 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. or bad trendy corporations like tesla aber and spotify is seen here losses at the

moment and a bushel that raisins and had 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 tesla 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 are. just one tiny problem these firms are losing horrific money tesla is worth more than car colossus is ford or general motors despite selling

9:10 am
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 to caterpillar and some. the others. wells fargo in financial stress there are signs of financial fragility as i call it where french of 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 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 financial instability and i think we're approaching that and we may see that emerge in the next year or two. now the firm behind the infamous trump russia

but after a time here we're going underground as russia hosts the twenty eighteen international army games with invitations extended to forces from eighty countries including nato nations coming up to show up for the worst israeli bombing of gaza since twenty fourteen when five hundred children were killed we speak john vause is former deputy foreign minister ghazi hamad was described israel as an animal straight man does that mean how much is anti semitic we ask one of the founding members of jewish voice for labor richard cooper of accusations of anti-semitism are used to silence the jitterbug criticism of israel plus how far away from a new global order following three days of events at this year's bric summit in south africa we speak to american author and former economic hitman john perkins all of them all coming up at today's going on the ground but first whatever happened to theresa may and labor blairite support for a war on syria how did syria suddenly disappear from mainstream media we need to
9:27 am
political solution a political long term solution which sees a syria without assad and why is our friend hillary clinton not saying things like listen a more air strikes will have to be combined with ground forces actually taking back more territory here across the pond another hillary has gone very quiet about his grand syria campaign that some suspected was just another blairite leadership group against jeremy corbyn now favorite to replace theresa may we know about fascists is that they need to be defeated. and it is why as we have heard tonight. socialist and trade unionists and others join the international gate in the one nine hundred thirty s. to fight against franco it's why this entire house stood up. against enemy of corbin and son of the late great anti war labor cabinet minister tony bend trying to persuade u.k. politicians to bomb syria according to no arguably victorious syrian president bashar al assad what he read ben that alone hillary clinton were doing could have
9:28 am
actually destroyed the planet in reality we were close to have dad a conflict between the russian forces and american forces. and fortunately it is it has been avoided. by the wisdom of the american leadership by the wisdom of the world and because the slope in the interest of anyone. anyone in this world and for all the syrian to have do. not join with a nuclear conflict was on the agenda of the u.k. taxpayer funded white helmets but they have arguably realize they've lost their war . drum contacted me canadian prime minister trudeau and request. hundreds of white how much from syria and why helmets allegedly linked to al qaeda groups in syria have also be devaluated to a country that has been arming israel's netanyahu britain this in the context of
