the headlines this hour a palestinian teenager and too many killed by israeli soldiers at the gaza border with eighty other protesters wounded a journalist working for r.t. was caught up in the void. we just woke up from inhaling it so big a think it was the night you'll. recall in the u.s. to authorities using emerson's facial recognition to offer wrongly matched photos of members of congress with criminals and johns. and spotify still not made a single cent in profit. this puts their workers and the consumers at risk.
12:01 pm
for the welcome has just gone seven o'clock in the evening here in moscow you're watching international the top story this is right the soldiers at the garza border have killed three palestinians including a teenager and wounded eighty according to garcia's health ministry people have been demanding the return of territories they claim historically belong to palestine a journalist working with r.t. hidden cadaverine was covering developments there she was caught in the tear gas fired by the israeli defense force at the protest. that. it may have i. believe. for. the now you're never. going to get out of my body but what if. we just woke up
12:02 pm
from inhaling and suffocating i think it's going to tell us one more time. 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 palestinian minister of have stated that most of the injuries today are from live ammunition this is a protest that was killed in his shots then people are saying that he's shot killed it's very dangerous for us to be here but despite everything we're still here
12:03 pm
covering all the israeli violence against the palestinians more live ammunition we can hear live ammunition and more injuries are coming from the frontline where these ready military does responded in accordance with the rules of engagement and defending the border thank you so hummus of using the protests to try and breach the barrier is that the protests the gaza border have been ongoing for almost four months. now u.s. lawmakers in the american civil liberties union are raising the alarm over amazon's
12:04 pm
facial recognition tool that's after it falsely matched 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 the american civil liberties union compared photos of all the members of the u.s. congress with a large database of criminal mugshots amazon's facial recognition tool made twenty eight matches all of them being folse eleven of the mismatches did involve people of color prompting additional concerns the union does claim that the tool has an inbuilt racial bias for 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 a technology expert for educate about the issue. when the software is trained
12:05 pm
to recognize faces it has to train our corpus in the corpus is made up of lots of the images of people and you for whatever reason the images are mainly prosecution 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 absolute 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 it that's what it is human we do know what a computer dollars is though the measures points are back in may the a.c.l.u.
12:06 pm
did reveal that amazon is trying to sell its facial recognition technology to government and police agencies and that led him a civil liberties groups to join together to campaign against it in fact even amazon workers join the protest however the technology is already being tested 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 are heard free consulting to help the city of orlando build its own system however amazon has hit back at the a.c.l.u. test saying that it had to use lower accuracy settings than it recommended. well eighty percent confidence is an acceptable threshold for photos of chairs animals
12:07 pm
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 or 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 they train their law enforcement clients not to use the software or who are making decisions but rather to narrow down the pool to where a human 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 what we think is 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. that trying to corporations like tesla and spotify seeing huge losses at the moment
12:08 pm
the new push will hurt the raisins and have their employees and even 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 her 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 a tiny fraction of the cause and losing billions music streaming giant spotify is
12:09 pm
just enough to 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 oil water in four and a half billion the whole of his one fine day will all book. in to electric cars 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 fire their workforce and in the new economy relationships are shall we say complicated hundreds of thousands of paid for tesla cause the poor company has 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 u.s.
12:10 pm
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 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 the 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. because of unease now in the company behind the infamous
